Napoleons dictum that an army
marches on it's stomach is as true to-
day as it was then, adequate provis-
ions for man and beast being the
most important factor in military sci
ence. The economic feeding of three
quarters OF a million men in peace
time is work enough. 1t becomes a
serious problem in the event of war
especially in a country like Germany
which is somewhat dependent on out
side sources for the feeding Of her
millions
The authorities, quite aware of
possible blocking and consequent
stoppage of imports, have made prep
with their usual thorough
German completeness. At any given
time there is sufficient foodstuff for
man and beast stored in state store /
houses and the large private concerns /
to feed the entire German army for |
twelve months. This might seem in
adequate. but it is not. the authorities
being well aware that war in Europe /
at the present time could not and
would not last longer than such
period.
Once IA year these storehouses are
,verhauled and perishable or deterio-
'ating provisions replaced. Tens of
thousands of tons of foodstuffs. espec-
ally fodder, are sold far below their
ictual market value to the poorer
