 John will learn a lot of things about ground which he never sus- pected before. He will be taught to see how slight depressions in a grassy knoll may give him cover against rife fire. He will learn how the color of the ground may make him a small or even invisible tar- get.
 His instructors will show him how to avoid making his body stand out sharp against sky line. To do so would be to invite death or serious injury from rife fire. He will learn how to add to his cOncealment by wearing something white in a snow land scape or something sand cOlOred in sandy soil.
 He will also get certain amount of map reading. John in private life may be an autonrobilist and may pride himself on his reading of road maps in strange country. But that is child's play compared to army work.
 The maps he will study will be those giving the contour of a coun- good for soldiers advancing on an enemy position. It is especially val try-itS hills, streams, woods and uable for scouts or for dismounted meadows. A map of that kind is cavalry.

 Washington, Nov. 15.-John e. Citizen, drafted into the army through the selective service ma chinery and assigned to the infan- try, will in the first 13 weeks of intensive training be taught that one of the most important things for a soldier in time of battle is how to protect himself as much as possible from the enemy's fire.

 There are features of the terrain
 where he happens to be which
