never blow up. It la the corporul'a
Job to aee that the new aoldler doea
not blow up. And the new aoldler,
after a skirmish exercise, even
iijrulnst blank cartridges, will find that
he Is extravagantly grateful for every
word with which the corporal hus
helped to keep him firmly anchored to
the ground.
The experience of citizen soldiers on
the Mexican border and, in a more Im-
portant degree, in the new armies of
Hngland, has shown that obedience to
the corporal and the sergeant, carried
still a step further to obedience to the
senior private, then to the next In
length of service, rather than making
men servile, has an effect quite the
opposite. For each man thereby learns
automatically to command the next
man below him, and In a battle, If
Jits noncommissioned officer or seniors
are put out of action, he assumes
their authority without a hitch.

THE RUSH.
Consider the squad as one unit of a
company on the skirmish line, de-
ployed for the "fire attack." If it is in*
practicable for the company to 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 occupied is indi-
cated by tfce platoon leader or the cap-
tain of the company, who gives the
command "By squad, from the right
(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 kneel-
ing position, gather themselves in read-
iness to spring forward. The corporal,
at the word "RUSH!" cries "Follow
me!" and, running at top speed, and
bent over to offer as small a target
possible to the enemy, leads the
squad to the new line. Here the men
drop to the prone position at the cor-
poral's command or the signal for
"halt," made by thrusting the arm up
vertically from the shoulder, and at
his command reopen fire. Unless the
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 fol-
low in succession, each starting the
rush when its immediate predecessor
has pained the new line. The various
positions that the soldier takes In the
skirmish line fortfiring, such as lying
prone or kneeling, will be explained In
another article. It should also be
stated that a knowledge of the rifle
must be assumed In this and later

dians fought from under cover—from
behind trees—nnd the British grena-
diers, accustomed to march Into battle
as If on dress parade, were thrown into
consternation. That principle of fight-
ing, from behind cover, was taken ovet
by the American Minute Man at Bun*
ker hill, and again the British regular*
were cast into confusion by volleys
from a foe whom they could not see.
The United States army has never
wholly departed from this principle of
warfare learned from the Indians, and
the modern system of deployment and
skirmishing Is but a further develop-
ment of it. From the American Indian,
then, through the United States army,
this method spread to Europe, and,
rendered trebly necessary by the in-
credible deadliness of modern attack,
has Mached its most scientific stage
in the trench warfare in France.
But It is not out of place to observe,
as American officers will point out.
that this very trench warfare,, like
nearly all the major inventions with
which the present great conflict is be-
ing waged, is an American develop-
ment. In the Civil war, before Vicks-
burg and before Petersburg, there
were months of trench warfare, the

than that now in progress in Europe.

Where one wishes to change the lo-
cation of vines yearly the annual* are
necessary. Among the n urn bee of
beautiful annual climber* the morning
glory takes a leading place. The moon-
flower and cypress nnd canary bird
flower are other beautiful vines, easily
grown.
To start the seed of moonflower and
morning-glory cut the seed a little on
one side nnd soak over night In warm
water, plnnt in a window box or seed
bed and transplant out of doors when
the ground Is warm.
Wild cucumbers and Japanese or na-
tive hop are hardy vines nnd make a
dense green shade. Hyacinth bean is
also very pretty and a profuse bloomer.
Never allow vines to grow up over the
house. Place a trellis at least two feet
from the house wall to allow a free
circulation of air. This applies to all
kinds of climbers. As soon as they begin
to form runners give them a support.
Sweet peas and nasturtiums form ex-
cellent low, ornamental screens. Plant-
