		The non-noble men-at-arms were called "Dienstbrüder" (serving brethren), and they often either fought as the rear rank of the knights or formed their own bodies; or, if infantry, "Dienstleute", the drilled and disciplined foot sergeants.
		The Order was known by its brethren's ferocious charge, discipline and toughness, and I felt justified to have the Ritterbrüder have three attributes: Ferocious Charge (as Normans), Drilled (reflecting their regular nature and discipline) and Stubborn (reflecting their religious fervour and fanaticism).
		All Brethren of the same units should have lances of same colour to represent their disciplined nature, and if the unit has other leader sans Hochmeister, he should be accompanied with a standard bearer bearing the flag of fl cross on white.

		EAR SIR,—I have read with much satisfaction, your able remarks in the February number of the "Sword and Trowel," on the dastardly attack which has been made upon you by some of the "Brethren." They richly deserve the castigation you have given to them.
		It will, I hope, have the effect of putting a stop, in some measure, to the false charges and unfounded accusations which they have been in the habit of making against those who faithfully expose the dangerous tendency of their peculiar and novel doctrines.
		Newton because you have mentioned his name in your remarks in such a way as may lead to the impression that he is a leader of one party of the "Brethren." The fact is, that on almost every important point, he is altogether opposed to their views and practices.
