(Issued by the War Department and all rights to reprint reserved.)
This course of thirty lessons is offered to the men selected tor
service in the National Army as a practical help in getting sturted

binding rules and directions. These are contained in the various
manuals and regulations of the l nited States Army, to which this
Course is merely introductory.

the team leaders
Most of the men in the Army are
private soldiers. I heir work is cl the
greatest importance and deserves a
the respect anti praise which it re
ceives. A great many men in the Na
tional Army, however, will he ambi
tious to raise to higher ranks. They
will find plenty of encouragement anti
of opportunity for promotion.
It* you are one of these men. don’t
allow youself to forget the tact that
you can win promotion only by prov
ed to yon. It is a rare case when t
ivan is ** jumped* several ranks *»»••
As a rule, he climbs

Even as a private, you may win a*

mea*.s in substance that they are o*
Non-Com missioned Officers
From the first-class privates are
usually chosen the corporals. These
are the squad leaders. They are ap
pointed by the commanding officer of
the regiment on the recommeiup.it iop
of the commanding officer of the com
pany. In addition to the regulat > ap
pointed corporals each company max
have one lance corporal*,
temporary appointment made by the
company commander for the purpose
of testing the ability of some private
whom he is thinking of recommend
ing for permanent appointment. In
case the lance corporal docs not make
a good showing, or for any other rea
son. he may be returned to the ranks
when the commander of the company
sees fit.
Next above the corporal in rank
comes the sergeant. There are usual
ly !> to 11 sergeants in a company.
Unless a sergeant has some other
duty assigned to him. he is normally
the leader of a platoon. There are,
however, many special duties con
eonstantly assigned to sergeants. The
first sergeant (in Army slang, the
“top sergeant), for example, keeps
certain company records, forms the
company in ranks, transmits orders j
from the company commander, and j
is norms many other important tasks.
The supply sergeant sees to bringing
up supplies of all kinds to (he com
pany. The mess sergeant looks after
food. The stable sergeant is respon
sible for the proper care of horses
and mules. The color sergeant car
cies the national or the regimen
tal colors. There are many other
grades within the rank of sergeant
which can not be described here. You i
will gradually become familiar with
them during your army experience.
C om missioned Officers
Sergeants and corporals are known
as non-commissioned officers, because)
they are appointed by their regimen
tal commanding officer. Officers of
higher ranks are known as commis
sioned, since they hold their rank by
virtue of a commission issued to them
under authority of the l*res dent of
the rnited States. The commissioned
office) is thus on quite a different
f >oting from the “non-com ’ (non-com-,
missioned officer). He obtains his rank |
and authority from a higher source.;
He is treated with respect which is of.

a different character from that ex
tended to a non-commissioned officer.
This is one of the fundamental
things in Army organization.
Lowest in rank among the commis
sioned officers is the second lieuten
ant. Above him comes the first lieu
tenant and above him the captain.
These are the three “company offi
cers." The captain is ordinarily the
commanding officer of a company,
while the lieutenants might be de
scribed as assistant captains. In the
absence or disability of the captain,
however, the first lieutenant takes his
»
place anti has full command, and in
the absence or disability of both, the
second lieutenant takes the command
^ext above the captain is the ma
jor, whose proper command is a batta
lion. A step higher is the li mtenant
colonel anti above him the colonel, the|
coremanding officer of a regiment.
The lieutenant colonel ordinarily as
sists the colonel and in his absence
takes the command. In case both tho
lieutenant colonel anti the colonel are
disabled or absent, the senior major
takes the command.
The General Officers
Above the colonel is the brigadier
general, whose proper command is a
brigade. Above the brigadier general
is the major general, the highest rank
at present held by any officer of the
American Army.
One general, however, serves as
Chief of Staff of the Army. As such
be supervises all troops anti depart
ments of the military service. He in
turn reports to the Secretary of War.
The Secretary of War in his turn acts
under the general direction of the
President of the United States, who
is the Commander in Chief.
The chain of authority reaches in
an unbroken line all the way from
the President-to the newest recruit. If
the President chooses to give an or
der which in any way affects the re
cruit, it passes through the Secretary
of War, Chief of Staff, major general,
brigadier general, captain, sergeant,
and possibly corporal, until the recruit
is reached and the order obeyed.
Ordinarily only the most general in
structions are issued by the higher of
ficers. The manner in whidh these in
structions shall be carried out is left
to the judgment of officers in closer
contact with the troops and with a
more intimate knowledge of the con
ditions under which they are work
ing.

STOCKHOLM, Aug. 30, (By Mail)
The spectacle, probably unique, of a
popular and much frequented summer
resort and bathing town inviting its
summer guests to leave and not return
has just been presented by Sodertal*
je. The city authorities took action
after a meeting at which the scarcity
of food was discussed, which, in their
opinion, made it undesirable that in
I roads should be made by summer vis
itors on the stocks available. Some
3,000 visitors are affected by the in
j vi tat ion to leave.
