Soldiers are grouped into squads of eight for the purpose of instruction and discipline; for con- trol as component factors in a pla- toon -or company; and for comnven- lence in‘executing orders’ which may call for a small number of men. At the command “Fall In,” the eight men line up in two ranks of four. The man who stands at' the left of the front rank is the Base of the Squad, and it usually- forms upon the position which he has taken. He is the Squad Leader—a Corporal— while the other .seven men in the squad are Privates. The corporal gives the commands by which the squad, when an indi- vidual unit, executes its movements. If the squad is formed withe the company, the captain will give the commands cantrolling the movements of the.squads—as in “Squads Right MARCH!” for example—but the Poral will repeat to his own men the preparatory command. ‘When a squad falls in, all the mem= bers (except the‘corporal) assemble in the order of height from right to left. The rear rank falls in”forty inches behind the front rank. This is called Distanée. At the command “Right. .. .

E NEAR TOP OF - FIRST CONNEGTICUT Is Second Only to Co. G in Num- ber of Men Company E, in command of Lieu- tenant Ashley J. Griffin, today stands second highest in the First Connect- icut Regiment with ninety-three en- listed men, the last two recruits being Willlam Jones and Harry Keough, two local boys. This morning three more men applied for enlistment. Accord- ing to the officers in charge of the local command it may be possible in the final analysis that Company E has the most' men in.the regiment as there are no men on the muster roll who have not passed all required ex- aminations, nor are there the names of any men on the roll who are not actually under arms, such as deserters or men who have not appeared. In other companies, Second Liecutenant Harris states, there are men on the roll who have been disqualified or who are not under arms, The report of the First Regiment up to yesteday noon gives the strength of the various companies as follows: Co.

By means of | the raised elbow, the men get the proper space (or Interval) between them, and the command ajso gain the proper alignment for a squad, & company, or & larger body of sol- diers. In marching, unless otherwise com- manded, the alignment described above is preserved. A Guide 1s des- ignated, either “Guide Right,” or “Guide Left” and the men maintals their ;alignment by ylelding to pres- sure from the side of the guide (right or left, as the case may be,) and r&- | sisting pressure from the opposite ide. In order that each man may kno his place in the squad—for, as will . later be_explained, the detalls of hia own movements will vary according to his pbsition in the unit—the squad leader instructor will give the com- mand, “COUNT OFF.” At this, each man, except the Right, Flle, turns bis head and eyes to the right.

' Lieutenant Grifin, reading | services of his infantrymen as guards at the water works, factories, etc. The lisutenant is candidly opposed to this plan because, he states, such a pro- cedure would impair the efficiency_of men. He states that all national guard companigs are now regarded as combatant men af war and while they are not on the firing line it is the duty of their commanders to be drilling them daily, getting them into the best possible condition for active service. To split up the company for guard duty would make it impossible ‘to drill the men and they, as a result of insufficient training, would suffer. Even sending out small details to do guard duty as they are at present, is impairing the efficiency of his com- pany, Lieutenant Griffin states. He also calls attention to an order from the war department which explicitly state that while the troops are to co- operate in every way with civilian guards, they are not to be taken as the sole guardian of private property. Inasmuch as the local soldiers 'are now United States.army men at war with Germany and likely to be called into” active service at any time, the Heutenant does not think it comes within their provinoe at any time do do private work. Rather, he thinks, it should be the police, special police, Home Guard, City Guard or individ- ual guards who should be called upon to do this work. It'is not that the of- flears object to the work, but that they feel positive that it will impair thé efficiency of their men that they are objecting. Lieutenant Griffin yesterday pur- chased a motorcycle which he now uses in visiting his various outposts. COMING MUSICAL FEAST. New Britain Choral Society Offering to Lovers of Music.
