     ��8�А�Or�察 �the rest of the squadron。; Lit。 ;his own tribesmen。; 

     An even number of file´leaders will admit of a greater number of equal 

subdivisions than an odd。 

     The   above   formation   pleases   me   for   two   good   reasons�此  �in   the   first 

place�察�all the front´rank men are forced to act as officers�撮�9�А�and the same 

man�察�mark you�察�when in command is somehow apt to feel that deeds of 

valour are incumbent on him which�察�as   a private�察�he ignores�察�and in the 

next place�察�at a crisis when something calls for action on the instant�察�the 

word   of   command   passed   not   to   privates   but   to   officers   takes   speedier 

effect。 

     ��9�А  �i。e。   all   find   themselves   in   a   position   of   command�察  �and   there   is 

nothing      like   command        to   inspire    that   feeling    of   noblesse     oblige 

which is often lacking in the private soldier。 See Thuc。 v。 66�察                         �Pol。

     Supposing�察�then�察�a regiment of cavalry drawn up in this formation�此�just 

as the squadron´leaders have their several positions for the march ��or the 

attack��10�В�   assigned   them   by   the   commander�察  �so   the   file´   leaders   will 

depend      upon    the  captain    for  the  order   passed    along    the  line   in  what 

formation they are severally to march�察�and all being prearranged by word 

of mouth�察�the whole will work more smoothly than if left to chancelike 

people crowding out of a theatre to their mutual annoyance。 And when it 

comes      to   actual    encounter      greater    promptitude      will    be   displayed�此�

supposing the attack is made in front�察�by the file´leaders who know that 

this is their appointed post�察�or in case of danger suddenly appearing in rear�察�

then by the rear´rank men�察�whose main idea is that to desert one's post is 

base。 A want of orderly arrangement�察�on the contrary�察�leads to confusion 

worse confounded at every narrow road�察�at every passage of a river�察�and 

when it comes to fighting�察�no one of his own free will assigns himself his 

proper post in face of an enemey。

active    help    of  every    trooper    who    would     wish    to  be   a  zealous    and 

unhesitating fellow´worker with his officer。��11�А�
