Numerical Mrmath of the Feel Soldiers Depends the lis ef the Other Branches V1UI Importance ef Industrial R..oun... In every army of toe world the foot oldler.. ur infantry, form tbu main lighting force. All other brioche, of the service are organized In ratio to the strength uf the Infantry. Time the Dumber of cavalrymen enllated de- I ends upon the numerical etrengtb of tlto Infantry organization. For tbla reaeoii let ua conelder the numerical units by which Infantry strength la estimated, v First there, la the squad made op of eight men uuder the command of a rurHiraL a platoon made op of Ave squads and comprlalng from forty to fifty men la uuder the command of a ecrgeaut or lieutenant A company comprising two, tbrro or four platoons la under the control of a captain. A company', roll conlalna from 80 to 20ti men. Four companies make op a battalion under the command of a ma Jor, while three battalion, form a regt metit led by a colonel. Hire, regi menta form a brigade under the com mand or a brigadier general, and three, hrlgadra make a dlvlelun. Three divisions. If tbey represent various branches of the service, are grouped Into eorg. or field army. The dirl aloii ia eoinmanded hy a major general, aa la also the field army. 'The army" In Ita entirety consist, of as many held armies aa a country I- able to muster, plus the entire mili tary organization and Ita arreaeortee. There are a few alight differences be tween the cavalry and Infuntry organ Izatlona, for the Infantry company In cavalry terms becomes a troop and the battalion become, a squadron. In the artillery branch of the aervlce there are aeveral subdivisions. At the present time we hear much about the coast artllU-ry, which la made up of Bird or atatlonary cannon, set In bat teries made up of two or more guua within proier fortifications at varioua strategic points where they may ef fectively itppose naval attacka. Artil lery for fortlDi-atloua la of a chartcter almllar to coast artillery, siege guns are of as heavy caliber or power aa the guns used In fortifications, but are mounted so that tbey may be moved by motor power or train from one point to another. Field, horse and mountain artillery are ezactly what tuelr namea Imply the mobile adapta ble guns of an army. Bcch are the three main "arm." of the army. The smallest unit In which any two of tbeae arma are Joined la the cavalry brlgndv, which sometimes contains light artillery. Thus we may rail the brigade the largest "unmixed' unit, while the division la the smallest "mixed" unit that la. the smallest unit made up of Infantry, cavalry and artillery. The average strength of a field army or corps throughout the world la be tween 30,000 and 40,000 men. The Held army Is supixmcd to contain rep reaenlatlon from every branch of the army organization and to be able to act as a complete and ludeiiendant unit. Virtually every activity of civil life la represented In the army organiza tion, either on Ita technical or admln latrativo aide. Th. more one delve. Into army organization the keener be comea the appreciation of the nereav sl'y of properly classifying every civil ian of military age. that In emergency be may be called forth to serve his country In that capacity In which he is best fitted to give the highest re sults Every tradesman, mechanic, la borer, professional man. artist or poet fan be fitted Into the vast organiza tion wheel bi such a way that trla vo cation or avocation will be turned to his country's advantage. Wars are no longer entirely decided on the firing line. They are, rather, etrugglee between the resources of na tions, and that country poaaesalng the greatest Industrial etamlna la almoat certain to win, provided It has a rea sonable representation of arma In the field. The private soldier, standing at the bottom of the army stairs, has nine steps to climb before be arrives at the top a general. Ills Brat promotion la to corporal and the next to sergeant He l denned to these grade, by his regimental commander. Hie next step to a commission bearing the presi dent's name waa formerly the moat difficult to negotiate, but It la now fair ly easy to take for men who honeatly possess the qua II tics necessary to make the right klud of officers. After he be comes a second lieutenant time and opportunity will give the soldier his first lieutenancy and later a captain cy. Next he becomes a major. Di rectly above the major atanda the lieu tenant colonel, who Is one grade below a colonel. At the top, for final reward, la a general's slur Kasy as the ascent seems to the lay man, a superficial examination of the facta will prove It a difficult climb, but by no men ns a forlorn hope. ltlcbard 8m' tb to I .es lie's Weekly.

S4 Yaeavi United Press Washington, May 8 For the guidance of puzzled pat- rons, the war department hat prescribed this simple formula lev for hanging the American flag '' a, it ahould be hung. W Wherever possible hang the flag from a staff, and not 3 against the wall. Use bunting tor the wall.
