or owing to rains, was thus done away with,
and there is no doubt that such efficiency
as existed in the Russian army during the
war might be traced to the cooking wagon.
There is hardly limit to the hardship and

As a rule, the commander who gees to

But besides the distributing of the food

and he went as far as I liked with the lingerie

Then he peeled for what I needed in change,
and that night l was strolling around the
st. Charles, making a preliminary survey
OF the habits OF that bookmaker with the

He came out Of the dining room gnawing

facilitate the evacuation OF positions and
the retreat of an army without serious
loss, as at the battle OF Liaoyang; and to
their employment is to be attributed the
fact that the retreat from Mukden was not
very much more disastrous than iteventu-
ally proved to be.
One Of the remarkable features OF the
late war was that, with the exception OF
that Of the Yalu, which was more an ad-
vanced guard action on the part Of the
Japanese than anything else, all the great
battles Of the war were fought along the
line of the Manchurian Railway. Having
cleared the country to the stward of the
line of Russian troops, the Japanese took
to the railway, and though they conducted
lateral and fianking operations on an ex-
tensive scale, they we're all more or less
subsidiary to the main operations up the
railway from Newchwang and Dalny.
The Russians chung with desperation to
it, and SC firm was their grip Of the rail-
way and so complete their system Of guards
that ct no time, in spite Of the elaborate
efforts and self-sacrificing character Of
the Japanese officers, who devoted them
selves in their attempts to destroy the
bridges and interrupt the line, were the
Russian communications in danger.

"'Bo,' said to myself, thinking Of him.

that anybody's going to notice. And when
I get back to my own game the first Patsie

And the luck Of It swung my way only
an hour or so later when the days racing
was over. I happened to slide into seat
on the car directly behind the guffy book
maker who'd whitfield me away from his
block-I forgot to say that the 20 to shot

He was carrying foot and a half square
japanned tin box with him. and the man

him about the box just as slid into the
seat behind.
It's a wonder you wouldn't let your
cashier pack the bankroll box home and put
It In the hotel safe without your bothering
with IT, the other bookmaker was saying to
the chinny layer. And that started the
gutter.
Cashier, nothing. He'd had one cashier

he was carrying his own dust. And it

dependent modern armies are on the CO.
operation of commerce, industry and science
for success on the day OF battle. Given
armies OF relatively equal numbers and
with commanders Of ability on both sides,
that army which has been brought into
position in the best condition and equipped
with the most up to date weapons and
materials is morally bound to win.
1t was the perfection Of the German
organization and the needle gun that won
the campaign of 1883, and in like manner
it was the superiority Of the Japanese all
along the line that carried their armies
from victory to victory from the Yalu to
Telling. 1t was the organized prepared
ness, the perfection of the smallest details.
and above all the loyal cooperation OF
every one engaged, from the Commander
in Chief to the transport cooie, that has
raised Japan to the first rank among the
world Powers.
We will take the matter of the food sup
plies, without which nothing can be done.
for as Napoleon said, an army moves on
it, ely. One Of the most remarkable
features Of the war just ended has been
the completeness Of the Japanese COM
missari arrangements, which, except In
the case OF one or two Of the divisions en-
gagged in forced marches in the Mukden
campaign, never failed to keep every man
properly supplied with food.
The testing OF the food by the medical
officers was another feature in the Japanese
system that insured the health OF the men
in a remarkable degree. In some respects
the Russian army in normal circumstances
had greatly improved on it's last experience,
in the war Of 1877 when the greatest NOR
tally was caused by the impurity OF the
food and its bad quality, flour being adul-
terated and meat decayed, producing en-
teric and other diseases due to badly or
eanized and Indifferent commissariat and
medical service and official corruption.
In the late war the Russian troops took
the field with new regimental cooking
wagon that has fulfilled the highest e1pec-
tations. On the march, as soon as the biv-
ouac Is broken up and the troops ready
to start the boiler OF the cooking wagon
with each battalion is filled with the meat,
vegetables, condiments and water neces-
sary to make a good wholesome stow. The
heat is supplied by an oil burning appara-
tus, and by the time the days march is
accomplished the soldiers, instead OF having
to set to work to make fireplaces to prepare
their meal, have nothing to do but come
around with their dishes and take away
their hot food, to enjoy with the big piece
Of good rye or whole meal wheat bread.

y The wars Of modern times are so much
more the result OF economic pressure and
40 much more dependent on the products
.of scientific resea rch and the new methods
of transport and communication OF intelli-
9erce than those Of previous centuries
that they are but a counterpart OF our more
advanced civilization and quite as compi-
Gated:
The further back We go the less complex
vas the machinery Of war. Invading
armies lived on the country, leaving want
and devastation behind them.
The means OF transport we're simple and
easily improvised or repaired. Only the
sick and wounded had the benefit Of horse
or wheel transport and then only while
things were going well with the army to
which they belonged. In case Of routs
and hasty retreats they were left to their
fate. the tender mercies OF the enemy or
skirts Of every army Of those times to rob
ment and money.
Armies moved entirely on foot or horse
back, and as q rule the roads became almost
impossible in heavy rains. Movements
'were consequently slow. and the latera
communication Of armies was difficult.
which was frequently the cause Of battles
being lost by the failure OF combinations
on which General depended for the Sue
cess Of his plans.
As We come nearer to our own day cir
cumstanoes begin to change. Money had
to be paid for provisions and secret stores
collected In advance Of an invasion.
Marriott, one Of Napoleons most distin-
pushed cavalry leaders, in his memoirs re-
lates that the Leipzig campaign was lost
through the failure OF the contractors en-
ployed to collect supplies at the points ar
ranged. and paid for in advance for the most
part. In more recent times, as in the Franco
German war, provisions and transport
were requisitioned, receipts given and
settlement made at the end OF the war.
This was in addition to the supplies that
followed an army from its own country by
rail or road transport.
The sick and wounded, too, began to
profit by the institution Of ambulance
trains, field hospitals and the railways
wherever available. As the phrase goes.
war became more civilized. Even in the
Russo Turkish war Of 1877 the Turks had
their Red Crescent ambulances. and their
base hospitals in some cases were equal
TO those in any European army.
But it was left for the first conflict be-
tween the largest Of the European countries
and the smaller OF the two Far Eastern
Powers to demonstrate how absolutely
