TAE MILITARY SAUSAGE.



Links Of Bologna May BeSUsesth I'm Fsrt.
Gus Ways In wartime. >
In The Forum Edward Atkinson zttfib-
utes the success of the German forces In
the Franco Prussian war ITO the German
army sausage, without which the German
rifles would probably have failed to be Ell
foctiye ct the right time and In the right
place."
This was not because the sausage was
used as ammunition for the rifles, as one
miaht suppose, but, as he previously re-
marks ''because of the rapid concentration
of the troops by forced marches which the
sausage made possible"
Without entering into y, question Oh
the sausage's effectiveness as proJectlie,
which Is subject too awful to contem-
plate at tho present time, one may easily
| see tho value Of this favorite luxury In
other ways, and 1t will not take long to
show the possibilities of the sausage on tho
march and as u means of defense.
Every man should be provided with q
sausage about o feet long, to BIO worn about
the body as the overcoat or blanket is now
worm. c., over one shoulder and the ends
fastened together by strap. On arriving
at place where mud or any obstruction
makes tho roads impossible for the guns
and ammunition every man should throw
down his sausage, and in few moments
4 a good corduroy road might be made, over
which the heavy implements could easily
tpass.
Had Lord Wclseley's army in the Su'
dan been provided with these sausages
. think how much easier it would have beer
, to transport tho boats across the cataract,
Of the Nile Every man would have uset
j. his sausage as a roller, and the boats couit
/, have been moved with very little effort
Tho empty skin might make very usef u
army balloon, and after lunch, by the ai'
d of "a small quantity of methylated spirits
% any man might make an ascent and recon
II hotter the position of the enemy.
IA II, however, instead of being made wit
Il the ordinary skin, Herr Doves bulle
proof cloth were used, the possibilities c
,v the sausage would be multiplied exceed
" ingly. For instance, what could be caste
II than for regiment to throw up III a fe'
moments bullet proof breastworks, benin
:, which they might be perfectly secure
III Nothing could equal the rapidity wit
=, which a change of position could BIO offec
ed, and an army thus provided could del
ty the enemy with impunity.-Kate Field
