UHLANS GRIM DUTY
Famous German Cavalry Is
Constantly Seeking Death.
Italian Praises ssThe Terrible
Uhlans" Noble Patriotism.

Rotterdam, Sept 7-Of the German
Uhlans, of whom much has been heard
in the European war, Luigi Barzini. a
widely known Italian war correspond
eht, says in the Corriere Della Sera:
LAS we ncared a small station and the
train lessened its speed. we saw a small
troop of cavalry guarding the railway
crossings patrol of Uhlans. Their de-
meanor was calm. Tl.o--h 49, 100
in the eHerny's country, their care-free
attitude PAVE the impression that they
were merely in maneuver camp.
THE swarms of cavalry which the
Germans send out ahead of the advance
are to be found everywhere-on every
highway and path. 1t is their business
to see as much as possible. They show
themselves everywhere, and they ride
until they are fired upon, keeping this
up until they have located the enemy.
Theirs is a task of riding into death.
The entire front Of the enemy is estab-
lished by them. and many of them are
killedthat is g. certainty they face. Now
and then, however, one of tom man

himself, which otherwise is obtained by
officers in their rear making observa-

the Uhlan must say to himself:
Here I will meet an enemy in hid

He knows that he cannot defend
against a fire that may open
on him from all sides. And every
where, there is danger for the Uhlan
hidden danger. Nevertheless he keeps
on riding, calmly and undisturbed, in
keeping with German discipline"
The German Uhlan is employed en-
tirely for reconnaissance purposes and
what is known as screen" and contact
work. In the first of these capacities
he endeavors to locate the enemy with
out running into his fire, doing this
usually in groups of from twenty to
thirty which move with -vanguards,
flankers and rear work.
In screen work the Uhlan is used TO
cover infantry or artillery advance, TAX

has been accomplished. In contact work

drawn the fire of the enemy. Instead of

reconnaissance work. he endeavors to
trace the front of the enemy. riding

lieutenant in the Belgian army, and a
veteran of the battles Of Haelen,
Heuton, st. Margaret, Tirlement and
the fighting before Liege. returned
home today on beard the steamer
Cretic. Mr.. Van De Velde was visiting
his parents in Belgium when the war
started, and he enlisted as a reservist
The Belgiane were seriously handi-
capped in the early fighting by artil-
1ery that was inferior to that Of the
Germans.
Mr.. Van De Veldo said:
"Our guns were effective at only
about -onc-third the range of the Ger
mans. The Belgians also had to await
the arrival Of ammunition from
France after the fighting started. In
the early battles German aeroplanes
worked considerable havic. especially
at night, but the powerful lights set
up in the forts removed the menace.
Mr.. Van De Velde was released from
service in the Belgian army. as were
other volunteers from the United
States. in order that they might return
to their business. August Pfan of Chi
cagO, another passenger, said he was In
Berlin two weeks ago. At Doeberitz
about thirty miles from Berlin, he said
there were about $4,000 Russian ana
5000 English prisoners of war with q
large number of captured English
horses. Officers of the Russian and
Belgian armies were kept together fol
a time, but as the result of a fight in
which several Belgian officers were
killed he said they were separated. The
Cretic brought 266 passengers, the ma

WANT new LAW.
County CLERKS of Kansas After Re
vised Salary Schedule.

County clerks will probably present
to the next legislature a draft of a
new bill intended to establish a new
set of provisions for establishing sal
aries Of county officials, which are
now regulated in most cases by the
population in the respective counties
Of Kansas. At a meeting Of the ex-
ecutive committee of the County
Clerks association at Hutchinson
Thursday, when the program of the
state meeting was under discussion,
the salary law revision came up prom
inently for discussion.
THE suggestion has been made that
the pay of county officers be based on
taxable property rather than on pop
ulation," said o K. Swayze, Shawnee
county clerk, who was one of the four
members of the committee at that
meeting. 1T is not unlikely that such
a plan will be urged at the state
meeting at Hutchinson Nov. 10 and
H."
John E. Merriam, clerk of Smith
county; w. E. Neal, clerk of Neosho
county, and H. M. Payne, clerk OF
Reno county and secretary of the
Clerks association, were the other
committee members who met with
Swayze yesterday. S. b. Herman,
county commissioner of Sedgwick
county, was also present.

TO ENCIRCLE ANTARCTIC
ShackletOn Takes Motor Sledges to
South Polar Sea.

London. Sept. 18.@Sir Ernest Snackle-
ton and the members of his trans
antarctic expedition left London today
in two sections for the south Polar re-
gton. One party, headed by Sir Ernest
ShackletOn, departed for South Ameri-
ca; the other half of the expedition left
for Ross sea, on the New Zealand side
Of the Antarctic. by way OF Tasmania.
Sir Ernes. hopes to meet the Ross sea
contingent in April of next year, or
failing in that, by March of 1916. The
Shackleton expedition will have 20 dogs
and also motor sledges. The other
party will have 26 dogs.
One great difficulty that confronted
the expedition was lack of scientific
instruments. These had been ordered
in Germany but had not been delivered
because of the war, and 1T was neces-
sary to replace them in England.
The Ross sea party will board the
exploration ship Aurora at Hobarts-
town, Tasmania. Sir Ernest Shackel-
ton hopes to leave Buenos Ayres Oc-
tober IS by the ship Endurance, which
is now en- route to South America.
