"OLD GLORY"
"America For Americans"
GERMAN 1*SV CHOLOGJl
From uautrai Switzerland comt<
the information ttiat Germany is
about to introduce a new wrinkle
in warfare, instead of an engine of
destruction, it is to be a psychologi
cal bureau, the purpose ot which,
is to determine the "precise osy-i
etiological status of each of Ger- J
uiany's enemiet." Secret agents;
working iu or near enemy countries
will forward all information avail- j
able. The information, if accurate,,
will lieli Germany to make a satis- ]
factory peac^ as jvell as to make
war. _ t -J_ |
The proposed psychological bu
reau at Berlin is an indication tth&
Germany has some misgivings about
the accuracy of the information seiti
hut ita spiei and itL agewts. It
has apparently dawned on Germany j
that the confidential investigator
who informed the kaiser before thq.
outbreak of the war that Ireland. I
was ready to rebel and that the
British umpire wag on a point of
breaking up was mistaken. The
uermau leaders are beginning to see
that the psychological sharp who
averred that a steady policy of
irightfulnesa would make enemy na
tions stop fighting jvag talking thru
tik> oickel-haube. Then the investi
gator who informed the German gov
ernment that the United States was
y nation of "dollar chasers" and tha
tku nation, wouldn't , fight anyway,
has had time to present a revised
opinion. The 6py_ who said that
j'. was impossible for this country tq
seud soldiers to France and that tha
sentiuint against militarism in Amer
ica was so strong that a draft law
was impossible must be in bad. TL0
offer of 1,300,000 volunteers to
serve in the American army and the
floating of the liberty loan, to 6ay
nothing Qf the ?110,000,000 for the
Kcd Cross, were confcdiered psychol
ogically impossible in Berlin. It ap
pears that the new bureau will have
a long, haTd job ahead of it.
It has been the plaint of German
leaders that the world hag not
understood Germany. Possibly the
world has experienced some dif
ficulty in attaining a complete un
derstanding of a nation which1 falil
decide upon a settled policy of
bombing defenseless towns, hospi
tals and school houses. A mili
tary; caste which will order the
Slaughter of women and children on
neutral ships, which WM devise
the plan of frightfulness put into ef
fect in Hindenburg's retreat In
France, which will poison wells
and mutilate children, has been
hard to understand.
The German difficulty in under
standing the rest of the world seem
to have been very great. In one
way or another Germany seems to
ive acquired more misinformation
than seemed possible to do. Ger
many has believed the things it
wanted to believe and hag rejected,

grouping men into teams
The smallest unit of- or "team"
in the Araiv is the squad. A squad
usually consists of eight men, oue
of whom is the leader: he is call
ed "corporal." You will l>e as
signed to a squad almost at once
oa entering tho Arm/.
Xu auy case remember this: The
eight men in a squad: form, a team
iu the tiiune sense that a baseball
uine or a football eleven is a
team. Your aquad is competing with
all the other squads la your com
pany. Whenever it shows itself es
pecially well drilled, quick to learn,
new duties or careful In respect to
cleanliness and general bearing,
you pile up a few points in youc
favor.
It is your duty to help your own,
squad make a good showing. Also it
U to your own interest to do so.
There is no more pleasure or reward
for you in belonging to a poor
squad than there is for a ball play
er belonging to a losing team.
Two, three or four squads (usual
ly three) may be Joined in; the
next higher unit, which is called a
"platoon." The platoon, however,
is not so permanent as a squad, but
is formed whenever there is need
for It in drilling on the firing line.
Next cornea the company,' which
to made up at full strength of 150
m^n; this is about 18 Bquads or
6 platoons. This number Is "war
strength" in our old table or or
ganization; the first division now; in
France has 200 men per company;
it is probable the strength may be
! 250 per infantry company.
! You are probably going to live,
eat, drill, and fight »lth the other
men in yoirr company so long as yo
remain in the Army. The sensible
thing to do is to conduct yourself
in such a way as to commaad the
liking and respect of these men
from the very beginning.
Four companies are joined in
a "battalion." The battalion is an
important unit in tho Army or
ganization, but is not so clearly,
marked as either the company or
the regiment.
The regiment consists Of 3 bat
talions, making 12 companies. In
addition, there are three special
companies which do not belong to
any of the battalions. These are
the headquarter company, includ
ing »he band and the color guard;
the machine-gun company, to be re
ferred to later; and the supply
company, responsible for the regi
ment's food, ammunition, and other
supplies. Counting in everyone,
the regiment at full strength, in. our
old tables or organization totals
2,058 officers and men.
The regiment is the unit that
especially arouses the soldiers'
pride and loyalty. The most cher
ished traditions of the Army are
made up of the splendid deeds of
famous regiments.
Two regiments are joined in a
brigade. Tbu& the brigade is built
up by assembling individual soldiers
into squads; squads into platoon^;
platoons into companies, companies
into battalions; battalinos into regi
ments; and regiments into brigades.
Brigades may in turn, be joined
to form divisions, divisions may be
joined to form corps and corps to
form field armies. All of the ar
my's divisions and separate de
tachments and departments taken
srether form the "big team" — that
is to say, the United States Army.
The make-up of the big team ia
treated in a later lesson.
