WHY THE DIFFERENCE?
A coal operator who refuses to
mako a price for his product
which is acceptable to a public func
tionary is liable to have a price
fixed for him or to hare his mine
commandeered and carried oa by
the government. A member of or
ganized labor vho refuses to sell
his laDor in a shipyard at a price
acceptable to his employer — who
may be engaged oa a government
contract—is deemed wholly within
his rights if he enters upon a
strike; aud no effort is being
made to compel him to accept a
fixed wage to force him to work if
he does not want to. It is curious
distinction, which a good many
people have difficulty in uuder
k landing.
ALASKA TliAVEL
The stories ol German subma
lines oa the Pacific coast appear
to have h-d a discouraging influ
ence upon movement of East
ern tourists to Alaska during the
summer season now closing. Reports
from the various transportation
lines serving the Northern terri
tory indicate that hundreds of tour
ist reservations were canceled soon
after the rumois of the presence
o^ suDmar'.nes became current, and
th.at the summer'* business was af
feettd. Fortunately the regular
passenger traffic to and from Alas
it* increased very materially, the
movement of commercial travelers
being especially noticeable, and tie
season's gro.-<s passenger traffic was
thus very good. The total number
of passengers conveyed to the Nor
thern territory fom Seattle, Van
couver and Prince Rupert during
tiie eight mouths ending August 31
was 24,409. • 4 , j
The stories of German submarine
aioui the Coa^t were unfounded in
fact, though, at lie time, the gov
ernment officials considered the
dagger sufficiently great to Justify
u warning. There were circumanal*
tial accounts of the sighting of sub
marines or periscopes, and the
danger, for a time, appeared very
real. Subsequent events indicated
that there sere no enemy sub
marines on this coast and none
likely to be as long as the United
States government controls the Pa
ania. canal.—Seattle P.-I.

BELGIUM TELLS
OF GERMANY'S
TYRAIIY
Saratoga Springs, N. Y., Sept. 6
—(Mail)—The Btorj- of three years
of violation by Germany of the cov
enants of The Hague convent ion
during the Teutonic occupancy of
Belgium was told here briefly by
Gascon <ie Leval of Brussels to
members of the American Bar as
sociation in convention.
.Many articles of The Hague
convention, whoa teatsd by facta
in Belgium with the invaders em
ploying their interpretations "prov
jed almost valueless," Mr. l>e Le
val said.
The imposing of excessive fines,
the punishment by death and im
prisonment of Belgian men and wo
men and children unwarrantedly,
accused of treason and lesser crimes
and the deportation of ius com
patriots into slavery wore discuss
ed by Mr Dg Leval from the legal
viewpoint. ^
Notwithstanding "all the suffer
ings and tyranny to which the Bel
gian population has been subject
ed," the speaker averted, the
people are as patriotic as when
they stemmed the German flood at
Liege.
"No matter how much the Ger
mans have advertised their victor
ies and how powerfully their mili
tary system hag impressed the Bel
gian population,'* he said, "that
population is Just as hopeful as dur
tag the first days that the cause
of civilization will triumph and thai
tyranny will be crushed, because
they know that right is might,
that right is the only might and
(that the Lord has said: 'Blessed are
J they which hunger and thirst aftel
righteousness, for they shall he
I filled."

ARMY SYSTEM OF TRAINING
The average American who has a
job assigned to aim wants to do it
well. He doesn't care to dawdle
over the job and make a mess of it.
Nor does he car& to make it a
halfway success. He is determined
to make it a full and complete suc
cess in the shoiest possible ttime.
It is assumed that you are start
ing your Army training in this Am
erican spirit. Since you are under
taking the job of becoming a citi
zen soldier you Ji?tend to J>e a good
one. You don't want to waste any
time in the process.
Your training will be practical
ly the same as that through which
your officers have advanced in the
early stage of military training. Ev
ery man in the Army must gov
through it.
First, you will bo instructed In
the infantry drill, as set forth, in
the Infantry Drill Regulations. This
is the foundation of all your train
ing. It is divided into close-order
drill and extended-order drill.
"Close order" is defined in the
Regulations as "the 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 great
er h.tan in close order."
The diagrams below show; *at a
glance what is meant. Figure 1
represents a small body of men la
double rank arranged in close or
der. _ 4 ( ,
* • • •
• • • •
The space between men standing
side by gide in rank is called the
"intervals." In the American Ar"
my the standard interval is 4 inch
es, measured from the elbow of
one man to the elbow of the man,
next to him. The space between,
a man in the front rank and a maa
directly behind him In the rear
rank is called "distance." The
standard distance is 40 incites,
measured from the back of the man
in front to the breast of the man
in the rear.
Figure 2 represents a body of me
in double rank arranged in column.
The same Intervals and distance-;
are observed as in the line forma
tion.

• • • •
An extended-order formation Is
represented below.
• • • •
However, this is only one of an
infinite number of extended-order
formations. Intervals and dist
ances ma/ l>e irregular. This is the
formation used for skirmishing and
at other times when it may be
desirable to have each man con
trol his own movements without at
tempting to conform exactly to th«
movements of the other men.
