Finally. % 10 the condition Of the Austrian
soldier going into battle. There is no doubt
that an Ill fed army does not fight so we'll as
one which freely partakes of food. Now, the
Austrian army is an ill.fed army. The rations
of soldier in Italy consisted of 1-2 ID. Of beet
and proportional quantity of bread. Neither
wine, nor spirits, nor coffee are part of the bill
of fare. If the Austrian soldier wants more than
his ration he buys it. This is fruitful source
of disorder On march the soldier falls out OF
his rank to buy cheese or bacon. lie must run
to resume his place, and he eats in the ranks,
He is obliged 50 to satisfy his appeslte anu
quench his thirst because the regulation 10 'uS'
he shall cook but once day. In time OF peace
the meal is cooked and served at regular nour'
In time of war, on march for instance, the
cooking takes place 10 the evening, after the Of

the soldier lies down, and is not entitled to an
other for "a hours The result of this at Sol
feriuo has already been mentioned. The sol
diers ate their dinner on the evening OF the Esd
and were not entitled to another until the eve
ming of the Gath. In the meanwhile battle
was to be fought on an empty stomach. Much
was said Of the hardships endured by English
soldiers in the Ormea because their coffee was

Count Rechberg "a civilisn) at Verona, THAT
the Commissariat should not feed the army
better" "The Commssarist is not to blame,
was the reply, sit is the system. For 40 years
and more the Austrian army has been so led,
and it is only now you discover that the ration
is insufficient The result of this discourse
was that additional rations were served out to
the Sroops, which is very like beginning to train
