RETURNED TOURIST SAYS
FEW WOUNDED SOLDIERS DIE

Gettysburg, s.. D., Nov. IN. p.
Leonardy, a German American resident
OF this city has just returned home
from Germany, where he had been on
a visit since last May. Mr.. Leonardy
visited several of the battlefields and
states that a very small per cent of
the wounded soldiers die, due to the
fact that the steel bullets used in the
big rifles do not lodge in the flesh. as a
rule, as they are shot with such ter
rifle force that they pass clear through
the body and unless the bullet pene-
trates a vital spot, the wound is not
considered dangerous. However, the
soldier is often disabled for further SER
vice.
Mr.. Leonardy explains the way in
which the German army mobllized. He
says that each year the government re-
quires that every horse that is suitable
for military use shall be examined,
registered n numbered. In case IL is
sold the government has to be notified
of the transfer and its records are
corrected accordingly. When the war
broke out these horses were simply
drafted by number and the wner re-
ceived good prices for them. Every
thing else, in regard to mobilization in
the present conflict, was so systematic
that In about AZ hours 1t was com
plete.
Mr.. Leonardy states that he has seen
enough of war to satisfy his desire for
adventure n hopes never TO see any
thing like 1t again.

been collected and roads nave been
prepared up to the frontier of Egypt.
Mines have been dispatched to be laid
in the Gulf of Akabas.
THE notorious shiek ASH Shawis,
has published and disseminated through
Syria and probably India an in
flamatory document urging The Mo-
hammedans to fight Great Britain.
German intrigue cannot influence
the loyalty TO Great Britain of the TO-
600. 900 Mohammedians in India and
the feeling of the Mohammedians OF
Egypt. They must look with detesta-
ton On the misguided action under for
eign influence at Gonstaninople, which
will inevitably lead to the disintegra-
ton of the Turkish empire, which
shows such foTgetfulness of the many
occasion on which Great Britain has
shown her friendship to Turkey
They must feel bitterly the de-
generation Of their co-religionists who
can thus be dominated against their
will by German influences and many
of them realize that when Turkey Is
pushed into war by Germany they
must diaassociate themselves from a
course OF action that Is p~rejudicial 10
the position of Turkey itself"
