Length of a Day's Tramp Da
pends.on the Methods Ucad.
,A HARD WAY AND AN EASY WAY
Jlf the Load tho Soldier Carries Is Prop
erly Adjusted It Lessens tho Amount
.of Energy Ho Has to Expond nnd In
.creases His Staying Powers.
There are two things, and two UiIurs
only, which determine the length of u
day's inarch for u soldier. Tho tlrst Is
the amount of actual labor or niechau
deal work done while marching, tlm
.second Is the degree of even distribu
tion of this labor among the chief inus.
-cles used in performing labor. Now.
llabor. or work. Is simply tba product of
tho force overcome and the dlstanco
through which It is overcome. The
forces to be overcome are by no means
confined to the weight of the man nud
his pack. Many other forces are called
into play In the course of a day's
.march..
, To "illustrate, suppose the marcher
. has to carry u five pound weight on the
.end of a five foot stick. Suppose he
.places this stick across his shoulder
with four feet behind hlrn and one foot
lu front, Hy the simple cxcrcise.of bad
Judgment lie multiplies tho weight of
"his load by four: he has to pull down
.contluually with a force of twenty
pound, and the shoulder must contln
. ually push up with a force of twenty
Hve pounds, all on account of that five
pound load which is carried on the end
.of the stick.
Another way in which energy may
he wasted is somewhat more subtle
nnd perhaps a bit harder to understand,
but of equal or greater lmiwrtance.
lies in the principle that work lias to
be doue w!iiover a maun of any kind
islciji tinged In Its motion. It lakda more
onergy to start a street car, for lu
ntunee, than to run it at uniform tipeed.
It taken more energy to make its speed
a little faster than to maintain it uttlie
lait speed that Is. whenever a Ixaly
ig given an acceleration a new force
liau to, bo used. Now. every time a sol
ijljjr Iwbs up and down when wnlklng
lit J to start the welgM of ui body
.and pack and gun upward and let them
down again. To do this uses up more
' energy than simply to keep then) mov
ing up or down. In the one case only
tins pH of gravity has to be overcome,
in the otI:i r the Inertia of the soldier's
head and body. And the faster this Is
done the more energy Is used up poi
nt op. Hence It is that n slow walk can
be maintained, not merely for n longer
time than a fast one. but for a Iougor
distance on a stretch.
Under tho prluclplo outlined above
would come the loss of energy due to
all swinging articles, such us bayonet
BCabbnrds, tin cups, tassels, etc. These
hu'vo to be put lu motion, thou Jerked
back nnd stopped by bodily contact,
( then put in motion again. All this con
sumes energy, and work has to be done.
Again, any weight on the breast of a
soldier or u tight coat or shirt, has to
bo overcome every time ho breathes.
, And the deeper his chest expansion tho
innro work ho has to do with his breast
every t'f! takes a breath. This
amounts iu enormous total during a
day's march. A I nso coat and under
clothes will cause h,..i to travel with
less expenditure of energy. It must bo

Besides the up nud down motion of a
soldier while inarching, he sways from
side to side. Every nrtlcle he Is carry
ing and his own body are.thus stnrted
and stopped In this swaying direction
also. Thus energy Is used up. Now,
the upper part of his body sways fur
ther than docs tho lower part, so If the
pack thero must be. the heavier part
of it should be placed Just as low down
tho trunk as Is convenient or comforta
ble. The heavier articles should also
go as close to tho back as possible, so
as not to Increaso the leverage on the
straps holding the pack to tho body.
To sum up then: The gun should be
carried with its center of gravity Just,
a wee bit behind the shoulder, so ns
to balance the weight of the hand nnd
forearm which keeps It steady (this Is
the usual practice, be It said); the pack
should be us compact as possible, close
fitting to the bnck, the heavy articles
tightly packed In the lowest available
space; no swinging articles should be
nllowcd. not even tassels; the coat
across the breast should be loiw fitting.
as should also the underclothes; a slow
gait should be used; ns small a rise and
fall as possible of the body should be
Indulged In and ns short a sway an pos
sible. To tho above may be added that
the shoes should not have Htlff soles,
for every time the sole of n shoe Is bent
energy Is ns: d up.
