Vermont For Bryan.

The returns from Vermont show
gain for Bryan over four years
ago of 20 per cent. This ratio of
gam throughout the country will
insure Bryan victory. 1t should
he remembered that the Mckin-
ley strength in Vermont Is three
10 one for Bryan and consequently
1t is hard place to make Bryan
gains. as it is hard to make head
way against Il strong public senti-
mcnt. 1t is in doubtful states
where public sentiment is nearly
equally divided that inroads upon
the Mckinley ranks can most
easily be made. Hence the Vcr-
mont election is most favorable to
Bryan. As Bryan is reported to
have said even Vermont Is for him
or sufficiently so us TO insure his
election.

always Under fire. but must take no
part in the fighting. They have to fol-
low up the fighting line, and, as the
combatants are wounded by shot and
shell, gather them up and convey them
to the rear, often enough under the
heaviest fire. What is known as the
field hospital must be able to advance
or retire with the fighting force. The
personnel of the field hospital staff con-
sists of one surgeon lieutenant colonel,
who is in command; one surgeon major,
two surgeon captains and one quarter
master of the army medical staff, one
sergeant major, seven staff sergeants
and sergeants and 80 of the rank and
file of the medical staff corps. There is
no such thing as a woman nurse at the
front in the South African war. The
whole work in a field hospital is carried
on by men, the women nurses doing
duty only at the base hospital, where
they are just about as well protected as
they would be in any large metropol-
itan hospital IN the most piping times
of peace.
Some of the articles and utensils car
ried by field hospital are unique. It
carries its own blacksmith's forge and
anvil. tools for farriers, shoemakers and
carpenters, with. of course, all the usu-
al hospital necessaries. Four large pan
niers filled with tea, cocoa, various es-
sences Of beef, brandy. whisky and
drugs are accompanied by eight more
panniers packed with enameled basins.
knives, instruments and all such metal
articles. Not an inch OF space must be
wasted, for each pannier must weigh no
more than so pounds.

Of the modern field hospital is the

railway corps. a body made up Of men
from the various railway shops of Great
Britain. These men are skilled In the
construction, repairing and handling Of
locomotives, cars, signals and the gen
eral equipment and operation Of rail-
ways. Now that the railway and the
armOred train have come to play such
an important part in warfare, this
corps Of men forms a very necessary
part in the make up OF an army such
as Roberts now has in the lower end Of
the Dark Continent. In way this newly
formed corps supplements the work Of
the regular army engineers, who coca
sionally have not either the time or the
special skill for certain phases OF rail-
way construction and operation The

ton often renders them unavailable !!
Trek oxen have also been made use of
to some extent, both for transport and
for hauling the heavy guns of the Brit
ish. But, owing to the rinderpest in the
Transvaal, these animals have become
very scarce, and il was for this reason
that England found it necessary to
have her agents in America purchase so
many thousand mules for service in
South Africa. The transport wagons
which these mules haul are of the
American type. They weigh about
ton and require u mules to haul them
when loaded, The usual load is one or
two tons, and the wagons, under ordi-
nary circumstances, work in sections of
90. The mules are fed on crushed corn,
and, as their ration is eight pounds
day, each section requires half a wagon
load of mealies for an eight hours jour
ney. Oxen in most cases find their own
food on the veldt, but they are extreme
ly slow.
The medical transport, from the bril-
gade field hospitals to the field hospitals
at the advance depots and then along
the line of communication to the base,
has been carried on by the army service
corps. The care of the sick and wound
ed among the British soldiers in South
Africa, notwithstanding the appalling
losses and disasters which they have
sustained, has been most satisfactory.
All the effective aid in the field has
been that of the army medical corps.
Voluntary aid has confined itself chiefly
to the lines of communication between
the field and the base hospitals and
general hospitals. What is called the
bearer companies" of the army med
ical corps accompany the fighting line
The Indian 'dooly bearers" are the
most famous Of these. There are usual
ly three or four of these bearers attach
ed TO each regimental company. When
man drops out wounded, the army

hand, at once, or. rather, as soon as

of preserved meat alone stood at 49,
100000 pounds, with an equal quantity
of army biscuit. One hundred tons of
tea and twice that amount of coffee had
also to be kept ready for the ever
thirsty Tommy. To sweeten his food
sufficiently for a space of four months
Tommy has to have LOO tons Of sugar.
OF salt he had 200 tons. OF compressed
vegetables he got away with 500. 900
pounds In the four months. while nearly
500,000 tins Of sweetened and unsweet-
ened condensed milk passed through the
commissariat department for the same
space Of time.
Jam is now an essential feature Of the
English soldiers diet. So he had to
have 100000 one pound tins Of this
delicacy, which was given him not as a
sweetmeat, but more as medicine, the
war Office authorities having discovered
the yaluabla. antiscorbutic properties Of
such a diet in the absence of proper
supply Of fresh vegetables, the best
preventive Of scurvy.
Tommy also has TO have his liquids.
These include $4,000 gallons Of rum.
