HOW TO BECOME A SOLDIER

(WRITTEN FOR THE TKIBVKB BY CAFT. A. L. KEESLING.)

To Fire by Volley (Continued). At the command fire .press the finger against the trigger fire without deranging the aim and without lowering or turning the piece lower the piece to the position of load and load.

To continue, the firing: 1—Aim "2—Squad 3—Fire. Each command is executed as previously explained. Load (from magazine) is executed by drawing back and thrusting home the bolt with the right hand, leaving the safety lock at the "ready."

To fire at will. Fire at will. Each man, independently of the others, comes to the ready, aims carefully and deliberately at the aiming point or target, fires, loads and continues the firing until ordered to suspend or cease firing.

To increase (decrease) the rate of fire, in progress the instructor shouts: faster (slower).

Men are trained to fire at the rate of about three shots per minute at effective ranges and five or six at close ranges, devoting the minimum of time to loading and the maximum to deliberate aiming. To illustrate the necessity for deliberation, and to habituate the men to combat conditions, small and comparatively indistinct targets are designated.

pie in order to carry out the advice given them by the government officials and to decentralize the functions of the administration in order to centralize the functions of the food administration in the various states. "We don't propose to go to the extent of fixing consumers' rations," Mr. Hoover added, "except as to hotels, restaurants, etc., regarding the amount of bread portions to be served and the like. England did a foolish thing in trying to fix maximum prices, a failure wherever tried." "Do you contend that under the bill you can say to Senator Reed, for instance, that he shall eat a soup bone or a steak on certain days?" asked Senator Kenyon. "I don't think we have any such right." "But we should have the right to suggest the use of a. soup bone a day and. see if we can reach any agreement voluntarily," said Mr. Hoover.

Mr. Hoover warned against legislation to prevent dealing in futures. "If you pass legislation of this kind you might demoralize the trade of the country," he said.
