Written for The Evening Star by Capt. Archibald

Remembering Napoleon's famous saying,
that IAN army crawls on it's stomach the
Russian and Japanese leaders are devoting
the greater part of their time and thought
to the great problem of how they are to
feed their forces as they move them over
an immense and comparatively barren ter
rain.
Theoretically, the transport and commits
sariat arrangements of both the Russian
and the Japanese armies are well-nigh per-
feet. They have won the enthusiastic ad-
miraton of military experts of many ma
tionalities. and none has admired them
more than the United States officers. But
the theory of peace time is vastly different
from the stern practice of war. Theoreti-
cally, the Greek transport and commissar-
lat were all that they should have been in
the Thessaly campaign, while the Turkish
services were all that they should not have
been. But the world knows how the Greek

When campaigning the Russian soldier is

for each man for two Gays longer and the
divisional trains FOR from two to four days
according to the arm OF the service to which
they are attached, less being carried for

rible 10 forget that the transport and COM

last century. The experience of the past
indicates that tho Cossacks are the ONLY

organization broke down miserably, and
how the Turkish commanders managed
somehow to feed their men and move them
across the country from one victorious field
to another. The present war will test con-
clusively the value of the Russian and Jap
anese theories but some light is thrown
upon them by previous campaigns in which
their armies have engaged.
The vast extent of the Russian empire
and the comparative scarcity of large towns
and villages in Asiatic Russia make it nee
essary for the general staff to assume that,
in a campaign, the troops will usually have
20 bivouac. and will rarely be billetted upon
the civil popula Accordingly, the bag
gage trains attached to Russian forces are
larger than in most armies. An army corps
of 1900 men IS officially supposed to be
accomp anied by 2,4G0 wagons; but the NUM-
Der varies, sof course, with the local condi-
tons and the eMgencies of the situation.
1t is usually more, for it is difficult to re-
duce 1t If each unit of the force is to be
properly supplied.
Regimental Trains.
The unit Of transport is the ''polkovye
obozy," or regimental baggage train. Each
regiment has two such trains, called the
first and the second echelons The first
train which keeps up with the regiment or
goes ahead of it, carries ammunition, med
ical supplies. food, the indispensable part
of officers baggage, and other necessary
articles likely 10 be Immediately required.
The second echelon carries supplies not SO
Immediately necessary. which can be left
behind well in the rear whenever the tactics
of the commanding officer require. These
supplies include harness. reserves of food,
technical material, movable kitchens, re-
lgious emblems, etc.
The regimental trains are supplemented
by divisional train, attached to each divis-
ion of cavalry or infantry. Its business is
to replace the regimental stores as they are

especially by the Cossacks and the Turk
estan contingents
In the Turcoman campaigns in central
Asia camels were employed. but they are
hardly ever used today by Russian troops
Thousands of dogs are pressed into serv-
Ice, however, mainly for transporting SOL
diers and supplies in sledges across Lake
Baikal
In the present campaign the mikado's
fighting man is carrying great deal more
food with him than his Russian adversary.
Against the latter's two days rations. he
carries two cooked rations of rice in addf-
ton to six emergency rations. These are
contained in an aluminium mess pan, and
as the rice has been boiled and dried In the
sun the entire weight is trif1ipg.
The Japs' Diet.
1t is commonly supposed that the Jap
anese soldier lives entirely on rice and
dried fish. but such is not the fact He can
live, and fight we'll, on that spare diet If
necessary; but he is given meat and other
sustaining foods whenever practicable. as
well as beer or sake" Several years ago
a military commission was appointed by
the mikado to inquire why the physique OF
the Japanese troops was inferior to that or
the British. German and other armies. The
commission came to the conclusion that
beef and beer helped to build up the stal-
wart frames of occidental fighting men, ana
since then beef and beer have been included
in the diet scale of the japanese army.
1t would appear, from recent repor's'
that the food arrangements of the Japanese
forces now in the field are excellent. ~Ac-
cording to one statement, each infantry
unit has a cylindrical stove and detachable
kettle capable of cooking enough rice TO
furnish one meal for 100 men. Nine such
stoves and kettles are used for cooking for
battalion. Boxes containing half-pound
cans of meat are carried by four horses for
each battalion. The question of water sup
ply has been carefully considered, doubtless
owing to the fact that the sickness among
the Japanese troops in the Peking exped1-
ton consisted almost entirely of typhoid
fever. Each unit carries a quantity OF So
dunn sulphate to purify the drinking water.

needed II. All the official arrangements for
feeding the men and caring for the SICK
and wounded broke down utterly. and Sko-
belief was always putting his hand In ms
pocket through that campaign. On one oc-
casion he spent 1900 roubles to charter
steamer to take number Of wounded men
to Odessa for treatment. He never recover
ed from the government the large sums ne
expended.
When Skobeleff was praised to his face
for his generosity toward his troops he
replied. unaffectedly:
Owed Them Everything.
II owe everything to these men. and the
least can do is to spend a few thousand
roubles to help them in their need"
That spirit animates most officers in the
Russian army today. Gen. Kouropatkin,
Gen. Grodekoff and other famous Russian
officers trained under Skobeleff followed
his example. Now It is regarded as the
regular thing IN the Russian army for an
officer to have to spend money on his men
to remedy official shortcomings. 1t is to
be feared that graft has a great deal
to do with those shortcomings.
Military experts say that only a small
proportion of Russian officers possess the
ability to cope with emergencies and
make orderly and efficient arrangements
for the welfare of an army. The mill
tary attache at the American legation at
st. petersburg served with the Russian

very poor opinion of the Russian officers
capacities in those respects, for he wrote
