ried just one-third of that amount.
The foot soldiers had enough food
FOR three days and the cavalryman
for one day. The cavalryman is sup
posed to be.able to get back to base
of supplies oftener and easier than a
foot soldier. Besides, his work being
usually in advance of the foot SOL
diers, the food supplies of the coun-
try are not materially depleted when
he appears and he is expected to help
himself
An army officer on duty with the
general staff in Washington says:
THE German soldiers are living on
soup and hard bread. If the supply
Of meat and onions is good the
soup is thick; If it is small the soup
is thin. The fewer utensils an army
drons packed with meat and vege-
tables mean more sustenance than
pots and pans and bake ovens. The
motive power that would be required
to carry frying pans, broiling irons
and baking dishes can be better used
in hauling meat, potatoes and onions.

Since 1909 the Prussians have been
working on the machine with which

of great and little powers today. They

| and fourteen ounces their iron ra.
| ton. It must last three days. Six
hundred carloads of food must leave
| CobIentz, Cologne, Aix-la- Chapelle, or
whatever for the time being is the
| commissary depot, daily for the men
operating in Belgium, Luxembourg and
| France, that is the minimum. The
chances are that 900 cars are being
used for the conveyance of one day 8
iron ration. For ammunition there
must be a minimum of 800 cars. For
forage and other quartermaster stores
| there must be a minimum of at least
| 1000 cars, although the probabilities
are that a much larger number are be-
ing used.
| If the army is being kept supplied
| by less than $500 carloads of material
| every day the statisticians and others
who have worked on the machine and
| it's handling have achieved great vic
tory. Probably 200 locomotives are in
| use.
All these things are being used to
start the supplies from the great de-
| pots at the base or bases to the tenn
| porary distributing depots.
The German soldier is eating black
bread baked two months ago. Its
crust is so hard that bayonet OF
saber must be used to break it. Hard
baking preserves it and reduces the
moisture to be carried to a minimum
AS to how the soldier shall eat it that
| is his affair.
These estimates as to the number
of wagons and animals are based on a
campaign ten-day march from the
base, or, roughly speaking, from one
hundred to one hundred and fifty miles
from the point to which the railroads
bring the food, ammunition, forage
and other material.

Retreat of Beleians Described.
The retreat from Malines was a
never-to-be-forgotten sight. For 20
miles every road was damned with
gathering cavalry, plodding infantry
and rumbling guns, their caissons COW

position.
Gendarmes with giant bear skins,
chasseurs in green coats, carabineers
in leather hats, machine guns drawn
by dogs, ambulances with red cross
flags, and cars, cars, cars-all the dear
old familiar American makes among
them-contributed to form a mighty
human river flowing Antwerpward.
Malines has population of 10000

Germans were returning. Sights
along the road were pathetic beyond
description. Children and aged, rich
and poor, lame and blind, with their
few poor belongings on their backs OF
piled in pushcarts, clogged roads and
impeded the soldiery.

they held dear to pillage and destruc

Germans Moved Down by the

Finally Reached Trenches, Only to Be

London.-The terrific charge of the
Germans in the face of deadly artillery
nre directed by the British at Mons is
described in dispatch received by
the Times from it's correspondent at
| Amiens.
He states that the following account
was given to him by a non-commis-
stoned British officer, who had been
| wounded:
AS the Germans came into view In
the open front of our hastily dug
trenches, our men opened on them
with steady fire that never went wide.
We could see, after each of our vol
leys, clean-cut gaps in the ranks of
the enemy, but they were a game lot.
They kept on closing up the gaps in
their ranks as though they were so
many marionettes.
Flesh and blood, however, could not
stand this sort of thing forever, and
after a while the Germans began to
come along with less confident step.
Once the advancing line halted and
the men looked about them in a dazed
sort OF way as we continued to rain
lead into them.
| Soon the first line faded from view
and another line of the enemy, fresh
and determined, took their places and
offered themselves as targets for our
! guns. After while those who were
left in that advancing line retreated
and another line took it's place. This
line stood up under fire as long as it
could, then it, too, gave way to an
other line. So it continued; one line
fighting to advance as long as it could,
and then, when we had riddled it, CIV
ing way to the next.
These tactics were pursued for
hours. Each new line, no matter how
much lead we poured into it, made
some slight advance, and when more
than dozen lines had taken turns in
fighting their way towards us the Ger
mans had accom- plished their aim
they had approached close enough to
us to hurl themselves upon our
trenches.
And then it was that we sprung
our trap. The Germans, in their
frenzy to reach us in the trenches,
had forgotten utterly that We might
have cavalry. And we did. 1t was
in hiding. Just at the moment that
the Germans were swarming over our
breastworks the cavalry emerged from
it's hiding place and bore down upon
the German soldiers.
"Helrs fury blaZed in the eyes OF
the Germans as they saw their new
foe and tried to grapple with it. But
it was no use They were beaten, and
quickly did they discover it. After
a brief battle with the horsemen, the
Germans broke and ran, pursued by
our cavalrymen. They were cut down
like chaff as they fed, and only very
few escaped.
THE actions of those Germans
whom we captured has shown us that
they hate us ten times worse than
they do the French. Some of the pris
oners have told us that they are sure
that If England had not Joined with
France the Germans would be in Paris
now debating terms of peace"

clares that, without exaggeration, the
German casualties, as compared with
those of the allies, bear ratio of

Needed Hospital Care.
He pleaded to be taken to his bunk

piled with, instead of locking him up
in the city Jail. and his friends agreed
to take care Of him. DR.. c. HI. Koentz
of this city, the Union Pacific sur
geon, was summoned and upon exam
lining the man found that he was suf-
fering with a fractured skull and or
dered that the man be taken to a
hospital at once, where he could re-
ceive proper care. Thinking that
Schultz was an employee Of the Union
Pacific, DR.. Koentz telegraphed the
railway officials at Kansas City for
transportation for the injured man to
Kansas City, where he would be put
in the company hospital During the
discussion OF the case by DR.. Koentz
and some of the employees of the
railway company at the station. it was
discovered that the injured man was
not an employee of the railway COM
pany, hence the company had no 5uris-
diction in the case. The agent for
pened to be in the city at the time
and was notified that it was up to
his company to take care of the in
jured man. He wired his headquar-
ters at Kansas City regarding the case
and he. Mr.. Kley. received word to
take the man to Topeka and turn him
over to the city officials of that place.
which he did, buying a ticket himself
for the injured man and sent another
discharged employee, who was going
to Kansas City, with the unfortunate
young man.
THE above are the facts in the case
which the writer has CLEANED from
the city officials, the physician, and
others connected with the case. This
proved beyond question that this city
is not entitled to any of the discred-
table remarks made by the Topeka
papers or the Shawnee county off,

the occurrence until last Friday even
ing, almost week after 1t happened,
and Marshal Hines states that the re-
port that he told the Topeka officials
that Onaga was anxious to get rid Of
the fellow is a falsehood, as he never
made such a remark. :
1.-The city officials and the railway
employees are of the opinion that
they did everything possible in their
power by getting the mans employ
ers to take immediate care Of him and
get him to hospital where he could
get the proper treatment, as there is
no hospital in Onaga. The officials
and citizens Of Onaga feel that a great
injustice has been done them by the
Topeka papers and Shawnee county
officials. and hope that the blame will

Local Authorities Left Injured
Man to His Friends.
OBJECT TO KIENE'S CRITICISM
But Statement Admits Very
Facts He Pointed Out.
Physicians Order for Care
Waited While Man Suffered.

That Frank Schultz, who was buried
in Topeka yesterday, met the injury
which caused his death while intOxi-
Gated and seeking a quarrel is the
statement of Clarence Haughawaut
editor of the Onaga Herald. In his
statement to the State Journal. Mr..
Haughawaut puts the responsibility for
the neglect of the injured man on the
HUT Construction company, from
whose employ he was discharged for
called out by the statement by Sheriff
J.. L. Kiene of Topeka, following the
post mortem examination. in which he
charged the Onaga authorities with
shifting their responsibility.
Schultz died in Topeka hospital
saturday night. He was put off a
Union Pacific train Thursday night
and helped to the city Jail by a police
man. From his own statements it was
learned he had been hit over the head
with pick-handle at Onaga on the
previous Friday night. His condition
became worse and he was removed to a
hospital soon after reaching here.
Attorney General Takes Hand.
At the request of Sheriff Kfene spe-
cial instructions were sent Monday to
Pottawatomie county authorities, by
John S. Dawson attorney general, di-
recting them TO investigate the assault
and attempt to punish the apparent
murderer. Sheriff Kiene afterward. in
published interview. made the charge
that Schultz's death was probably
bl..meable to the fact that the injured
man was not properly cared for at once
as would have been the case had the
Onaga authorities assumed charge and
given it their best attention
Mr.. Haughawaut says the Onaga city
officials are of the opinion that they
did their duty when they left the care
of the injured man to his friends and
the representatives of the railroad and
construction company. Topeka author
tiles complained that was exactly what
caused the neglect of the man who
died here. The fact remains that Shultz
had no proper attention for week
after he was hurt and after he was put
off a train here
