ARGENTINA'S PROMPT ACTION.
There 'can, be no ' question but what
Argentina has come to the right con
elusion and has .followed the proper
course in sending; ta the German le
(ration the pass of Count - Lux-
burg. The German charge d' affaires
has grossly insulted the nation which
up to now has ' Been piacins na con
fldence in his honorable use of the
advantages w,hlch they extended to
him. While Argentina has been told
by Germany that its vessels woujd
not hereafter be attacked, and . that
one which was sunk would be paid
for. it now learns .of the fact
that the representative of that, coun
try in Buenos Aires had been recom
mending not only the destruction of
its ships, the location -of which was
glv.en, but that he had advised. tWat the
crews be murdered so that it 'would
be Impossible to'obtain any informs,
tion concerning haw or where the de
struction took place. In- other words
Germany ' was to strike Argentina in
the back and cover up its crime by
-foul murder. .
It is but natural that Argentina
should want that official out of the
country. It is not surprising that the
people -of that country are displaying
their resentment of jne manner in
which they have been treated and it
only did what might be expected if it
decided it wanted nothing more to
do with a nation that would . name
such a diplomat. And while it is
taking action isegarding the German
count it can hardly overlook the
Swedish minister through t whose lack
of attention the despatch of such rec
ommendations was made possible.
CAN BE NO RELAXATION.
Kvery decrease which the activity
of the patrolling fleet is able to bring
about in the sinking of allied .vessels
by the German submarines is gratify
ing. Every such letup means that
so much advantage is being gained
by the shipbuilders of the entente na
tions and it likewise means that bet
ter results are being obtained from
the activities of the destroyers, but
such accomplishments can by no
means be looked upon as a sufficient
reason for considering that the ship
building efforts can be slowed up.
There is as great a need as there
ever was for the production of mer
chant vessels possessing sufficient
speed to reduce to the minimum the
hazard of the underwater, boats. Re
gardless of "the decrease in losses a
British government official declares
that the new tonnage -is only slightly
under the tonnage represented by the
U-boat toll.
.This can be looked upon as mean
ing that there needs only to be a
continuance of the effort that has
been made before a greater number
of vessels will be launched than is
being sunk. But that does not per
mit of any relaxation. Every en
deavor must be- put forth to get out
every vessel possible for nojt only can
they he utilized to replace those which
are sunk, but there is a growing de
mand for cargo carriers and such is
no better demonstrated than by the
statement " which comes from Aus
tralia to the effect that there are
three crops of wheat stored there
awaiting ships. The shipyards" are
relied upon for great service in meet
ing the problems raised by the war.

The average American who has a
job assigned to him wants to do it
well. He doesn't care to dawdle over
the job and make a mess of it. Nor
does he care to make it a. halfway
success. He is determined to make it
a full and complete; success m the
shortest possible time.
It is assumed that, you are starting
your army training in this American
spirit. Sinee you are undertaking
the job of becoming a citizen soldier
you intend to be a good one. You
don't, want to waste any time im the
process.
More than that, if you are ambitious
and posses fair -ability there is no
reason why you should always remain
a private soldier.- it is right that
yeu should want to advance, just as
you -want to advance in civil life. The
army is anxious to have you advance
just as soon as you are ready.
You will not, of course, become a
corporal or sergeant or .win higher
promotion until after you have thor
oughly mastered the duties of a pri
vate. Nor will all the men who would
like to win advancement easily obtain
it. There is only one way to get
ahead in- the army ,and that is to fol
low conscientiously to the end the
regular system of training laid out for
everybody.
Your training will be practically the
same as that through which your of
ficers have advanced in the early
stages of military training. Every
man in the army must go through it.
Drill Formations.
First you will be instructed in the
Infantry drill, as set forth in the In
fantry Drill Regulations. This is the
foundation of all your training. It is
divided into closeorder drill and ex
tended-order drill.
'Close order" drill is denned in the
Regulations as "th formation in
which the units, in double rank, are
arranged in line or in column with
normal intervals and distances. Ex
tended order, on the other hand, is
the formation in which the units are
separated by intervals greater than in
close order. These technical defi
nitions are clear enough to those who
are already familiar with military
terms, but probably require some ex
planation .for most of the men who are.
reading this course.
The -diagrams below show at a
glance what is meant. Figure 1 rep
resents a small body of men in double
rank arranged in close order.
Figure 1.
The, space between men standing
side by side in rank is called the "in
terval." In the American Army the
standard interval is 4 inches measur
ed from the elbow of one roan to the
elbow of the man next te him. This
gives room enough for free move
ment and the proper handling of arms
and equipment during drill. The space
between a man in the Croat rank and
a man directly behind him in the rear
rank is called "distance." The stand
ard distance - is 40 inehes, measured
from the back of the man in front to
the breast of the man in the rear. In
practice intervals and. distances are,
of course not measured exactly. A
well-trained soldier, however, soon
learns to gauge them with sufficient
accuracy and . almost unconsciously
keeps himself properly placed in re
lation to the men about him. It Is es
sential that every man should learn to
do this tin order Xo maintain' a reason
able defcree of uniformity.
N, Fighting Formations.
Figure 2 represents a body of men
in double rank arranged in column.
The same inteivais and distances are
observed as in the line formation.
ease'.'
' .
Figure 2
An extended-order formation is rep
resented below.
.
Figure S
However, this is only one of aa in
finite number of extended-order for
mations. Intervals and distances may
be irregular. This is the formation
used for skirmishing and at other
time when - it may be desirable to have
each man control his own movements
without attempting to conform ex
actly to the movements of the other
men.
During drill in lose order you will
retain "the position of a soldier." In
extended-order you will usually, though
not necessarily tie allowed to take po
sitions that are most comfortable.
You should get in mind at the very
beginning these distinction between
close order and extended order. By
understanding them you will see more
clearly what-is required of you and
how you can get most benefit out of
your training.
CANNING
Spiced Fruits.
Are yeu planning o exhibit canned
stuff at the war garden fajr in your
town, says today's bulletin from the
National . Emergency Food Garden
Commission of Washington, which is
cooperating with The Bulletin in a
nation-wide campaign to conserve the
food of the country.
Spiced fruits are always acceptable",
says the bulletin, which in today's
lesson tells you how some of the work
is done.
Plums.- Wash the plums and pick a
few holes in the skin with a pin. Boil
the sugar, vinegar and spices in the
same proportion as for peaches all to
gether for about five-minutes, then add
plums and stew until tender. Pour
hot plums in heated Jars. flU up with
hot syrup in which they were stewed,
put on rubber- and seal tops. .
Ripe Cucumbers. Take large '. ripe
cucumbers, yellow but firm, cut into
strips the sige of one's index flnfler;
and about 8- inehes long, and parboil
to take away the rank flavor. It is
suggested that blanching in belling
water for 8 to B minutes and dipping
in cold water might replace parboil
ing. Then treat exactly like peaches.
Watermelon Rind Pare Off green
part, leaving only the white, and cut
into pieees about an inch and one
half or twe inches square. Parboil as
mentioned for cucumbers and then
treat exactly Hke peaches.
The Seventh Annual
OF THE
GLEANED FROM FOREIGN EXCHANGES
ALIENS FOR THE ARMY.
How generally it is reeognized in
Washington that the aliens in this
country should be called for service
in the army, even as the young sub
jects of the United States have been,
is shown. Toy the passage of the Cham
berlain resolution in the senate with
out a roll call.
Ever since the selective draft has
been put into operation it has been
realized that the aliens in this coun
try, who are getting all its advan
tages but who have not sworn al
legiance to its flag, are being given
greater protection than are the young
Americans themselves. They are
having the opportunity not only to
continue their pursuit? wi'fli profit
and their enjoyment without restric
tion, but they can expect to step right t
into the Jobs which have been left by I
those who have gone into the train-j
Ins camps and those who are to go,
while the American citizens are called
upon not only to flght for the protec
tion of their country, its rights and
the continuation of liberty, but they
are performing the same service for
the subjects of other nations who are
located in this country and who under
existing law are not liable to mili
tary service here, though they would
he in their own countries.
The situation is therefore manifest
ly unfair to the young Americans. The
alien who is anxious to get American
privileges should be willing to fight
for them, and if hs is not he should
be made to. The demand is entirely
reasonable and it will be surprising
If the house does not act upon the
resolution with as great despatch as
the senate has.
WORKING FOR AIR SUPREMACY.
American Inventive ability and gen
ius have come to the front repeatedly
when it has been, necessary to solve
certain difficult problems and when it
has bee, of the greatest importance
to the nation that certain ends be at
tained. Results In keeping with the
demands have been accomplished so
often that almost the impossible has
been expected of this country in that
direction. Certainly each yrar finds
the brains of this country contribut
ing to the advancement of science in
many directions..
Thus' it is not at all surprising that
the announcement can be made, as it
has been, by the secretary of war that
an engine has been perfected for our
airplanes which will give the
United States the opportunity to es
tablish definite air supremacy over
the enemy on the battlefields of Eu
rope. This country has been iax in its
development of the flying machine. It
Has not followed up the opportunities
which have been recognized by the
countries across the water, but with
the recognition of the importance of
the flying machine in war operations
and the necessity of producing an alr-s
plane whleh can equal if not excel'
those which are being produced by
the enemy, it has gone abaut the task
In a characteristic manner, and suc
cess in producing an engine that
measures up to requirements is only
the beginning of. what can be antici
pated in this direction. The airplane
is an effective war instrument and
though we may be somewhat tardy
in perfecting it. there is every rea
son to believe that the finished pro
duct will be found to be among the
leaders if not actually the topnotcher.
It will be one of the important eon
trjbutions af America to the war. -.

THE NEW BONDS.
It will probably be only a short
time now before subscriptions will be
asked for the" new bond issue which
is to be made by this government for
the carrying on of the war. It is
but natural therefore that there should
be much thought turned in that di
rection by the people of this country
and wnile all tne details have not
been settled, there' seems to be an
inclination on the part of some .to
think that those who will subscribe to
the new issue will receive a higher
rate of interest than those who pur
chased the Liberty bonds drawing 3
1-2 per cent. L
Such however is not exactly the case.
According to present plans those who
bought the first issue will have the
opportunity to convert their bond ;
into bonds which will draw the-same
amount of interest as the new issue,
or four per cent. That was one of
the stipulations made in connection
with the first issue. But the new is
sue of bonds will be taxable while the
present Issue . is not. This, however,
will make slight difference to the
small holder of bonds who does not
have a taxable income, for .he does
not now have to ' pay a tax
on the bonds now and ,he will
not then. The bonds will be
subject to the sur tax but that will
apply solely to those with large in
comes and those who might be in
clined to put large sums of money "in
to such bonds as were first issued for
the purpose of escaping taxation. For
everyone, whether his income is such
that he pays a tax thereon the bonds
will be an excellent investment but
the poor will benefit therefrom more
than the rich.
