must be respected and the orders he
gives as a sentinel must be strictly
obeyed, not only by other soldiers but
by officers, whatever their rank.
During the night the sentinel will
challenge any person or party who
comes near his post, calling out sharp
ly “Halt. Who is there?” The per
son challenged, ox* one of the party il
there are several persons, may be
permitted to approach for the purpose
of giving the countersign or of being
recognized. In case of doubt it is
ii sentinel’s duty to prevent anyone
from passing him and to call the cor
poral of the guard. “A sentinel will
never allow himself to be surprised,
nor permit two parties to advance on
him at the same time.”
Duties of Orderlies
Members of the guard may he as
1 signed to duty as orderlies to the com
manding officer or to other officers.
“For these positions the soldiers will
be chosen who are most correct in
the performance of duty and in niili
I tary bearing, neatest in person and
| clothing, and whose arms and accou
trements are in the best condition.”
It is decidedly a compliment to any
soldier to he designated to serve as an
orderly.
An orderly usually accompanies the
officer wherever he goes, assists or
serves him in accordance with direc
tions, carries messages for him, and
the like. „
Exterior gifard duty consists of
keeping watch at a distance from the
main body of troops. When a camp
is within possible striking distance
from the enemy, it is necessary to
i place small parties of men at points
| where they may observe an approach
ing enemy, give the alarm, and il pos
| si Me check or stop his advance. These
parties are known as outposts.
When a large body of troops is on
the march, advance, rear, and Hank
guards keep watch on the surround
ing country. In general, their duties
are similar to those of outposts.
SCOUIIltg
O.^e of the most responsible duties
to which a soldier may be assigned
is patrolling or scouting. An Infan
try patrol usually consists of from
to H» men. It is sent out for the pur
pose of obtaining information as to the
enemy, his numbers, and the nature of
the country over which the partol
travels. It is not usually intended that
the patrol should fight, since its prime
purpose is to obtain and bring back
information. However, it may be forc
ed to tight, if discovered, in order to
protect the escape of at least one of
its members with a report of the in
formation secured.
“Every soldier should be able to find
his way in a strange country; should
know how to use a compass; should
know how to locate the north star;
should be able to travel across coun
try, keeping a given direction, both
by day and by night, and by observ
ing landmarks he should be able to
return to the starting point whether
over the same route or by a more cir
cuitous one. This can easily be learn
ed by a little practice. It adds a great j
deal to the value of a soldier if lie
LIQUOR GIFT
GRAVE OFFENSE
'
Believed to be First Violation of
Presidential Proclamation of
July, 1917
What is believed to be the first al
leged violation in Alaska of the presi
dential proclamation, forbidding thej
selling or giving away of intoxicating
liquor within five miles of a naval or
military reservation in unincorporated
territory or within half a mile of such
reservations in incorporated cities, is
charged against Zeke Perivich, of An
chorage.
The case presents a new phase in
connection with intoxicating liquor in
that city, which is not incorporated
territory and all parts of which are
within live miles of a military reser
vation. It presents the issue of mere
ly giving away liquor, and emphasizes
the fact that violations of the presi
dential proclamation are regarded
more seriously than the old olfense ot
selling liquor in a prohibition com
munity.
Persons accused of violating the
presidential proclamation, if evidence
is pioduced tending to establish their
guilt, are bound over to the United
States district court, instead of hav
ing their cases finally disposed of by
the United States commissioner.
Perivich is accused of merely giving
away, not selling, liquor in Anchor
age and within live miles of a military
reservation. The complaint against
him was liled before Commissioner
Leopold David. The accused man has
not entered a plea, and is at liberty
on bail.
President Wilson, under authority
of an act of congress, issued the proc
lamation regarding the selling or giv
ing away of liquor last July. The
same proclamation also forbids selling
or giving liquor to a soldier or sailor
in the federal service at any time or
place.
-knows how to use a map to find his
way. If he knows how to make a
rough sketch of the country, he has
added to his value as a soldier very
much indeed.” (Manual for Non
commissioned Officers and Privates, p.
161.)
Of course these remarks on guard
duty can give you only a general idea
of its nature and of your own respon
sibility. Put enough has been said to
indicate that any man has much to
learn before he can be called a first
class soldier. You will find your
months of training slipping by rap
idly, especially a$ you become more
and more interested in mastering the
varied phases of your new occupation.

TERRIBLE DEEDS OF U-BOATS
TOLD BY UNITED STATES CONSUL
The misery ami suffering of the hu
man victims of the ruthless German
submarine campaign were depicted by
Wesley Frost, American consul at
Queenstown, Ireland, for the three
years ending last June, when he spoke
in the Shrine auditorium of the new
M asonic temple, Seattle, before an au
dience of 1,500 silent, solemn listen
era. Only twice during tlie speech did
the audience applaud, and that was
when the speaker voiced patriotic sen
timents; and twice an audible sob
arose from the listeners as Mr. Frost
touched upon gruesome scenes, atten
dant upon ihe sinking of the Lusita
nia.
Mr. Frust told of how the bodies of
the victims of the Lusitania were cast
up by the Gulf Stream more than two
hundred miles along the coast of Ire
land. In recounting the horrors of the
Lusitania affair, he reminded the au
dience he did it not in a spirit of ven
geance. but to bring home to them the
true conditions.

Oherlin Society Guest
He was the dinner guest that night
of the Oherlin Alumni Association at
its banquet in the Uainier Club. He
left for Portland shortly after his
speech.
In part, hi* spoke as follows:
“Ten thousand men, women and
children have now been killed by (ier
man submarines. Kverv month sees
losses equal to those ot the Lusitania
horror, and every day the death of
inooent civilians. At this moment the
poor fellows from two or three ves
sels are lighting for breath.
“The ocean south of Ireland is the
most crowded highway ot commerce
in the world; on a line day I have
seen merchant ships in all directions,
like a vast parade. Thus it happened
that as consul at Queenstown for the
three years ending last June, I report
ed to our government upon the de
struction by submarines of eighty-one
different ships carrying American citi
zens.
No Pause or Pity
“Take the cases in which there was
so-called warning by the submarines.
This warning consists simply in l>om
barding the unfortunate victim with
out pause or pity. Men and women
are mangled by shell-fire after they
have surrendered and are doing all in
their power to comply with the sub
marine’s desires.

to awake the homicidal mania in the
submarine commanders. On a dismal
February day I saw the dismembered
fragments of the captain of the
Anglo-Californian carried ashore in a
gunnysack and the mutilated corpses
of eight of his men. Their crime con
sisted in having tried to run away
| from the destruction! In the Haves
1 tone case the submarine deliberately
turned its guns upon the lifeboats
i when they were well away from their
! sinking ship and shot down the cap
i tain and four men.
) Amused by Drowning*
“The submarine officers amused
themselves by taking snapshots to
send home to their sweethearts of 12
men who were drowning, and in an
other an American merchant officer
was taken back on board and made
to touch off the bombs which destroy
ed his own vessel.
“Often heroic actions by the victims
occurred. While the Saxonian was be
ing shelled a young Pennsylvania
| sailor reached the ladder to the boats
at the same time with the boatswain,
and although shots were whistling
around them he stepped gallantly
aside and let the elder man go first.
I When they were both on the ladder a
shell burst behind them and killed the
boatswain instantly, while our brave
American boy escaped with only a few
painful wounds.
j “But, to me, the dumbfounding, the
j stupefying thing about the submarine
j is that they attack passenger ships
and kill women and children. Rough
i work by man against man is more
comprehensible, anti most men do not
care to protest even if their opponent
does fight foul. But war against
women, and foul play at that, is the
consummate quintessence of savagery.
The Germans themselves seem to rec
ognize this, for in only one of the pas
senger cases I handled did the subma
rine have the nerve to hail the bouts
after it had wrought its deed of
shame."

Dispatches from the western front
! contain interesting details of letters
and diaries of German soldiers cap
tured in the advance. One alluded to
the fact that the British shells deprive
them of shelter, wipe out their dug
outs and force them into the open.
Others refer to British air supremacy
| and contain sneering reference to the
! poor fight put up by the German uir
! men. But the ‘‘most unkindest cut of
! all" is one that mentions the fact that
j the German airmen find it much safer
1 to bombard open towns than to fly
over the British lines.
