THE FULTON COUNTY NEWS, McCONNELLSBURG, PA, BIG TASK TO GET REGIMENT READY Springing to Arms 1$ Not Done as Quickly as Going to a Fire. MAKE-UP OF A REGIMENT Under New Law It Consists of 2,015 Officer and Men Takea Time to Drill and Teach Men How to Care for Themselves. New York. The recent mobilization Of National Guard regiments has brought homf to the public the fact that even tlwugh troops ore trulned as these woio by service on the Mexi can border a mobilization order Is far different from a lire alarm. With the best of tho regiments there was no springing to arms overnight, the men ready to march forward and meet tbe enemy. - Few persons, noting that a certain number of regiments had been ordered out, really knew the number of men In a regiment of Infantry of the Uulted States army and Natlonnl Guard. In a general way, It was understood that a regiment consists of about one thou sand men, commanded by a colonel, and that an Infuntry regiment Is com posed of foot soldiers, urmed with rifles. All nations have their own rules as to the number of men to be massed as a regiment. In the United States this lias varied. Last summer a new law went Into effect which resulted la every regiment consisting of 51 commissioned officers nnd 1,004 en listed men when at war strength. That law, embodied In the National Defense Act, Is of Interest, lis show ing that lining up groups of men and giving rifles and ammunition to them does not make an efficient, regiment of Infantry. What a Regiment la. Thnt part of the law giving the composition of Infantry units Is Sec tion Seventeen of the "Act for making further and more effectual provision for the natlonnl defense, nnd for other put poses." It reads: "Each regiment of Infuntry shall consist of one colonel, one lleutennnt colon!, three majors, 10 captains, 10 first lieutenants, 15 second lieutenants, one heudqunrters company, one ma chine gun compnny, one supply com pany, and 12 Infuntry companies or ganized Into three battalions of four companies each. "Each battalion shall consist of one major, one first Hcutennnt, 'mounted (battalion adjutant), nnd four compa nies. Each Infantry company In bnt tallon shall consist of one captain, one first lieutenant, one second lieutenant, one first sergeant, one mess sergeunt, ono supply sergeant, six sergennts, 11 corporals, two cooks, two buglers, one mechnnlc, 19 privates (first class), nnd ISO privates. "Each Infantry hendqunrters com pany shall consist - of one captain mounted (reglmentnl adjutant) ; one regimental sergeant major mounted; three bnttallon sergennts major, mounted; one first sergeant (drum major) ; two color sergeants ; one mess sergeant; one supply sergeant; one stnblo sergennt; one sergeant; two cooks; one horseshoer; one band leader; one assistant bnnd lender; one sergeant bugler; two bnnd sergeants; four bnnd corporals; two musicians, RAISING A NEW FLAG "SETTING-UP EXERCISES" IN NAVY w m . u m .:..... m . ... ry kh. t 111 I t I ' I i I I 3 I V.', What Well Dress Women Will weac lost aa we conclude that there Is nothing new that can possibly happen to summer blouses, along comes an attractive surprise nnd we ore forced to concede that another beautiful nov elty has made Its appearance.

"Each Infnntry supply compnny shall consist of one captain, mounted; one second Ileutennnt, mounted ; three regimental supply sergennts, mount ed; one first sergeant, mounted; one mess sergeant, one stable sergeant; one corporal, mounted ; ono cook, one saddler, one horseshoer, and one wag oner for ench authorized wagon of the field nnd combat truln ; "Provided, Thnt the president may In his discretion Increase a company of Infnntry by two sergennts, six cor porals, one cook, one mechnnlc, nine privates, first class; and 31 prlvutes; an Infuntry mnchlne-gun company by two sergennts, two corporals, ono me chanic, four privates, llrst clnss; and 12 privates." This calls for men who are trained, not only ns soldiers, but In trades. As n general rule, n wagon train con sisting of 22 wagons Is required for an Infnntry regiment: This gives one for ench compnny, one for the mnchlne-gun compnny, three for the com bat wagons (ammunition carriers), two for the hendqunrters compnny nnd four for the supply compnny, for tentngc for men composing It nnd for feed for horses nnd extra commissa ries nnd equipment. ' 25,000 In a Division. Tho adding together of 51 commis sioned officers nnd 1,313 enlisted men (peace strength) or a total of 2,015 odlcers and men (war strength) Is a problem. Men cannot be drilled and taught the use of rifles, of keeping welj nnd caring for their clothing, nnd above all, of obeying orders nnd the necessity therefor, without time. Thnt Is why all mllltury men ndvocate uni versal scrvlco and tho adoption of a plan whereby regiments can bo mobi lized qiMckly nnd supplied with equip ment nnd ordnance. When ready for duty, a regiment must be able to carry with it suffi cient tentnge, clothing, food nnd muni tions to Inst for a specified tlmo. In tho United States army It is the or ganization most generally kept Intact Only seldom are portions ordered long dlstnnccs, the mnrch order being for the whole regiment to Join either some brlgnde or division. It is complete within Itself, and any subdivision of an infnntry regiment Is lacking in something, be It only the bnnd that cheers the soldier evenings, If detailed away from regimental headquarters. In combat, the infnntry regiment Is not effective unless supporting troops co-operate. Tbe division Is considered the proper fighting force, If the enemy is organized. It con sists of nine Infnntry regiments, two regiments of light field artillery, one of henvy field artillery, ono of cnvulry, an engineer corps, signal corps, avia tion corps ond n supply truln, with reserve ammunition nnd equipment. At war strength a division here would consist of 25,000 officers nnd men, commanded by a major general. granted.
