A B THE FOURFLUSHER. Among' the Cavalry horses there had been gencrated a spirit of unrest. They had growf tired of routine. Day after day, life Jto them was all the same. From.‘“Boots and Saddles” in the morning to “Taps” at night was an old, old story, o At last a big stallion, ridden by a sergeant, decided to mutiny. At night, when the stars came up and the cavalryimen were all at rest in their tents, he confided his intentians to his companions of the flesh. No human heard him neigh but the sentry: and he did not understand the language of the.Morgans,—that was the name of the breed. The message was taken up all along the line. .The horses and mares, tied to a long community 7Tope, twisted their hajters so as to hear the con- versation. After some reluctance on the part of a few, it was agreed upon to furmulate a plan of action. A com- mittee was chosen to outline the campaign. None of the cavalry horses 'slept that night. They staod up, or lay awake awaiting the report. Mean- while the sentry paced his beat. Just before the morning sun stuck its red nose over the distant hills and chased the dewdrops from the grass, the Teport was filed. The plan, as outlined, suggested SELF HELPS FOR NEW SOLDIERS SOON TO BE CALLED INTO FIELD Advice By United States Army Officer Which Is Valuable to Those Eligible For Service !n America’s New Legions. THE RUSH, Consider the Squad as one unit of a company on the skirmish line, de- ployed for the Fire Attack., 1If it is impracticable for the company ta ad- vance as a whole against the enemy’'s lines, it may advance in rushes. This |is done either by Platoons or by Squad. The new line to be occupled is in- dicated by the Platoon Leader or the Captain or the Company, who gives the command «By Squad, from the Right (or left) RUSH!” This means that the Squad on the extreme Right of the Company is to move, or rush, to the new line first, The men of the Squad, who may be lying flat on the ground, or in a kneeling position, gather themselves in readiness to spring forward. The: Corparal at the word “Rush” cries “Follow Me,”” and, running at top speed, and bent over to-offer as small a target as possible to the enemy, leads the Squad to the line. Here the men drop to the prone position at the Corporal’'s command or the signal for «Halt,” made by thrusting the arm up ! vertically fram the shoulder, and at his command reopen fire. Unless tho platoon or company commander has designated the distance to be.covered in the rush, the corporal of the Squad selects the new line. After the first Squad has taken up the new line, the other Squads follow in succession, each starting the Rush when its immediate predecessor has gained the new line. The variouus self with the rifle when he has a rifle in hand, but he may otherwise schaol himself in the Squad or Com- pany movements which accompany or are predicated upon the use of the rifle, for he can carry through the squad or company movements with a broomatick For various reasons, depeuding upon the immediate situatian, it may be necessary for the Squad to increase or diminish the interval at which the men are deployed. For instance, the space to be covercd may be wider or narrower than the ton paces which the normal interval would give for the Squad front. Or, the fire of the ‘| enemy at this point be so “hot” that, in order to advance against it, . the chances of casualties must be reduced by widening the space between the men. If the latter bo the case, or if, us previously stated, It is desirable to cover a wider front, instead of the Command, “As Skirmishers, MARCH" (when the men deploy at half-pace intervals) the command may be, As Skirmishers, At Two Paces, MARCH!” This would mean that, instead of the half-pace, or fifteen inches, twice the full pace, or sixty inche: vene between each mai This would extend the Squad front over a dis- tance.of approximately twenty paces, or fifty feet, and thus increasing the front of, or the chance of each man being_ hit.

Yesterday was a momentous day in American history. After twenty-eight days of almost endless debate in Cohgress the Selective Draft Army Bill was approved by the Senate last night. The vote was sixty-five to eight. After being signed by the Speaker of the House and the Vice President the\measure will be sent to ‘the White House for the signature of the President. The bill as it now stands conforms to the recommenda- tions of the Administration except for the fact that it carries a provision which would permit the President to send Colonel Roosévelt and his private army to France. This pro- vision, however, is ‘not -mandatory. The President. is authorized to send Roosevelt if he sees fit. The President umless the General Staff of the United States Army is of the opinion that these voluntary divisions should be sent abroad. Inasmuch as .the.President is permitted to exercise his discretion in the Roosevelt plai, and as the Army Bill is satisfactory in other re- spects, there is little doubt it will be- come law in a few days. Owing to the depleted statc of military supplies the call for the first' 500,000 men may not be sent out until September first. MAKING UP THE FLAG. A flag was raised over the James- town, Pa., worsted mill. From the owners of the mill itself a porter on the Philadelphia Public Ledger learned: The flag was made of wool from an American sheep, Sorted by an American. Carded by an Italian. Spun by a Swede, Warped by a German. Dressed by an Englishman. Drawn in by a Scotchman. _ ‘Woven by a Belgian. Supervised by.a Frenchman. Inspected by an American. Scoured, by an. Albanian. Dyed by a Turk. Examined by an Irishman. Pressed by a Pole. The question then is asked: Where else could this be true except in the “land of the free and the home of the brave?” It is suggested mow that if the Kajser really does have to make “a get-a; ; the air ' route,—in & Zeppelin. This, of course, would be the best use to which a { Zeppeiin could be put. Honduras has now severed diplo- matic rclations with Germany.

In case of accident, or any sudden emergency, whom would you call on for help? Whom would you ad- vise your sister to call on for assistance? A man with a uniform of course. He would be seen first. His uniform would attract the eye. A uniform means that there is an organization back of the man. There are times when emergencies may arise at any hour. The aged and the fee- ble should know that they are sur- rounded by local Scouts who will look after their welfare. The Scout uni- form stands for organized, unseifish, patriotic service and for this reason Scouts and Scout officials should wear the uniform during the war. “Wear the uniform; be ready to help.” GIRL SCOUT NEWS.
