B to be doubted if the Council pal Defense, .willingly or would encroach upon the of organized labor. On the , the men associated on this working for d ' complete ng between all the forces and ‘industry in this country. #: the hour of need, To help rernment in the conduct of the very branch of industry through- the country must co-operatd. It ing then ‘to read the com- on ‘of John P. White, Presi- t of the United Mine Workers of rica, who, in protesting to Presi- mt Wilson against any attempt on spart.of the C&uncfl of National 'tnw;nce- against their Defense to sacrifice tho privileges of the coal miners saysi— ““This great, patriotic and soMd or- ganization of the workers in ~the basic industry of the war stands ready to dig from thé earth all the coal that could poasibly be used for all the possible needs of the Nation. Figuratively and yet accurately speak- ing, it can' bury the whole land in coal a foot deep. It is able’ and eager to doublc all rccords in the production and distribution of coal if it is given the necc-rary facllities; and the right spirit of co-operation and ‘help.” . 1, as stated, the'United Hine Work- ers of America, arc ¢ “'able and enger | to double all records. in the produc-. tion and distribution of coal,” and there is little doubt these men are “‘able and eager’” to. double this rec- ord, the nation must rejoice. For the compelling forces of America will not allow thc National Council of De- fense, or any other body tg interfere with these men in their determina- tion to give all their help. The Pres- ident of the United States will not permit for one moment the.curtail- ment of their powers. The United Mine Workers are powerful in their fleld: The United States Government knows that, is aware of their wonder- ful organization. . It will watch with interest the outcome of this asser- tion of President WHite of the mine workers. = But there must be no imaginary wrongs to stop the .coal miners in their work. This is no time for agi- tation. This is no time for the pro- fessional agitator. As yet there has been no infringement on the rights of organized labor, no invasion of the rights of the United Mine Workers of America. In fact, the situation is Just the opposite.:, The Committee on Coal Productiofyy part of the National Council of Defense, has urged the ut- most care in dealing with the coal miners. This committee has faken the pight step and asked that the workers in the mines be exempted from ‘mmury service. . There are many able bodied men between the ages of twenty-one and thirty-one working in the great mines of the nation. Some of these would make the finest soldiers Uncle Sam could send to the firing line; but: they arve more valuable where they are, dig- sing the precious coal that must be used in the many activities of the Government and by the private fami- lies. By keeping them at work, by allowing them to expend their un- ‘questionable energy the price of coal the coming year will undoubtedly" come huk to. & reasonable.stage. At present the United Mine Work:" of “America have no special employers. For the moment, all the petty diffiy culties ' hive been patched' up, or passed by. The last great strike helped to alleviate the trouble over hours nnd pay. So, this great or- ganization’ of workers in what Mr. AWhite rightfully terms the “basic in- dustry of the war” should not only stand ready, but actually “dig from the earth all the coal that could pos- sibly be used for all the possible needs of the Nation,” Having set about to do that a grateful people will pay homage where it rightfully belongs. during and after the war. It is duty that now calls. "BARBARISM IN FULL BWING. When & scheme to devastaty the min flelds o!‘ Germany by dropping . fire-bombs from airplanes was recent- 1y announcell and ldvoclted by an English army officer the best thought of the country drew back in horror. "To bring abaut starvatipn and death to the inmocent. noncombatants of Gerrnln: in this wdy is too great a sin. The German, §mperial Govern- .memh has now -nnouneed that it ine tends to sink all hospital ships “in the entire bq,rrad zong, and in the Mediterranean.” The exception made is sn contrary to all international law, 8o, conthry to the principles bf navi- gation, {that it can"be dismissed at once as preposteroys. On the same day that the world-learned of this an- nouncement from the German govern- ment it read of the latest air raid over England when.a great . number of men, wnmcn ‘and children were killed by bombs dropped fmm airships. Killing innocent non-combatants by sinking the. ships on which they travel; killing them by dropping bombs upon their heads and homes: Killing them by any method has no excuse. .There might be some differ ence in the crime of sending nurses and wounded soldiers to the bottom by sinking hospital ships and the crime of killing men and women who are ordinarily sble to take care of themselves,—Whether the latter are killed by bombs from the sky or tor- pedoes from the sea. In. the eves of the civilized world the sin is almost unforgiveable. There is nothing to be gained from a military standpoint by the commission of such outrages. The men and women killed in Png- land last Saturday were half a mile away from any militarv work or es- tablishment. - The list of crimes committed ‘ by Germany .against. . civilization - and | which will be ‘written forever on the books of humanity grows because Germany wills it so. The murders of innocent non-combatants on land | and sea are added to with aPDa]llng; If there are those W&o | regularity. wondéer why the world is rapidly turning against German militarism and Kultur they need but' ponder ‘these things. They need but look to the announcement made by the Im- perial Government.that it intends to sink -all hospital ships in the barred sone, ships ‘laden with the sick and dying, and gallant young women who have sacrificed thelr lives to care for the wounded. No ship is safe from a German submarine whether that ship carries a white cross, a red cross, or any other insignia of mercy, providing the ship is not aligned with Prussian- ism. The day of peace Is not at hand, 1o matter how much peace talk floods the air. The day of peace can never come until a militarism that wages war in this ignoble fashion is wiped forever from the face of the earth. And America must waste no maore time in preparing to wage as relent- less )& war against this monster as is peréfl-sib\e under our for{qn of ethies. ‘We cannot stoop to the level of bar- barians; but we can drive barbarism from the world. COMMUNICATED. FOR JUSTICE, ALL AROUND, A Few Lampoons for the Coal Dealers and One for the Herald. To the Editor of the Herald: . Every man and woman in New Bri- tain who has been compelled to go down into their pockets the past winter for the price that would pro- cure a_ton of precious toal, will, or should .be, interested in the letter of “Bad Penny,” nppurlng in your Sat- urday’s issue. We have been repeatedly advised through the government’s commis- sion, appointed to investigate the criminally ‘high prices charged by the retailers fof their coal, and the mine owners likewise, that there is not, nor has there been, any.conditions. war- ranting the perniclous increase charged for coal by the retailers, the past winter, including short weight as’publicly announced recently in your columns, by one of the local dealers, whose only excuse, when he was caught ‘“red handed,” was that he could not see how it was possible he could make such a mlltn.ke in welsh- ing a load of coal. The federal committee, in their re- port, as well as the mine owners, stated that the price of coal at the mines had been advanced only a few cents per ton (thirty-seven, I believe was the amount, I may be in error) and his advance;, -coupled with the added, freight rate by the railroads, and a like small advance by the mid- dleman) per ton to meet .extra .cost for handling, should not have made a difference of over one dollar per ton to' the rétailer. - These local dealers have been charging $3.00 to $5.00 more per ton than last winter. As- suming that their labor and mining expenses have cost’ them more than one year ago, their is not a scintilla of reason that will pardon them for squeezing the blood out of those who had to pay their price or—freeze. Some of these retailers of coal ($11 per ton) are known as liberal con- tributors to the church, and numerous .charitable and worthy objects; others are luxuriating at the Virginia Hot Spring, trying to hob-nob with other wealthy people and millionaires. Why not give the public, those paying this unwarranted, outrageous price for coal, the credit for these benefactions —it comes out of their hard earnings. . Mr. ‘““Bad Penny,” give the red flag another shake. Now for the Herald’s kick: No one, who is a dally reader of the Herald will dare question f{ts patriotism, or its loyalty in this hour of stress and calls for united aid, or the righteous work it is performing in backing up Mayor Quigley and Presi- dent Wilson, in their éfforts to break up speculation in food, {0 conserve the present supply, and increase the same for future needs. .In its Sat- urday issue the Herald, both editorial- ly and in its Town Topics column, denounced_in unmistakable language, the attempt by any individual to ‘“‘corner” the potato crop ' or other food production that would maintain or increase the present high prices. or that would .in any way work a hardship on the purchasing public. It is only a few days ago that the Herald for the matter of a few cents, inserted an advertisement for someone who lacked -the manhood to sign his name to the advertisement, offering the munificent summ of 75 cents - per bushel, with a cash deposit to bind the contract, for potatoes when har- vested next fall. The writer would lusxest a closer understunding . betweén the ‘editorial | and*business departments of the com- pany. “0, consistency, thou art a jewel.” A KICKER FOR JUSTICE. FACTS AND FANCIES.

' IN THE PRECEDING ARTICLES on the School of the Company, the Platoon has purposely been left out of consideration and the attention confined to the Squad and Company. The reason was that the principles upon. which Platoon movements are executed are based on’those of the Squad and’ Compasy; for the Pll- toon, consisting &§f from two to four Squads, '{s ' simply a Company on a Teduced “séale, or a Squad on an en- larged scale, .and is handled, gener- ally speaking, accordingly. Moreover, when the new, soldier, after drill in the School of the Squad, - first placed in the School of the Company, he is.taught the application of his Squad movements“in Company for- mation, and this supplies the natural connection between Squad and Com- pany evolutions. The Platoon, as has been said be- fore, ‘is to the Company what the Company is to the Battallon, In a war strength company, there are four Platoons, and in either a peace or war strength battalion, there are four Companies. It is therefore ap- parent that such movements as “Com- pany Right (Left)” which are for the purpose of throwing a column of Companies into line of the Battalion. are simulated with “Platoons, Right (Left)” by turning the Platoons on a Fixed Pivot into a line of the Com- pany. As pointed out in connection with “Company Right (Deft)” the move- ment is the same in principle as “Squad Right (Left)”; but since a Platoon consists of two, three or four Squads (we shall assume, hereafter that the Platoon is at the war strength of four Squads, or thirty- two men,) in such points as the rules vary between Squad and Com- pany “Right,” the Platoon follows the rules for the Company.
