Who The Uhlans And
COssacks Really Are

There seems 10 be good deal Hf
uncertainty with many people as TO
precisely who the "uhlans" are. who
figure so largely IN the news from
Belgium. Uhlans we're originally Pol

wearing the distinctive national dress.
They were first introduced into the
/. Prussian service In 1740. and body

PAY
FOR THE ARMY
SHOWS A Hitch

The experimental application of the
new system of paying enlisted men OF
the army every week, or at least oft.
ener than cnce or twice month, has
net met with entire success. At least
the reports made by officers at Fort
Sam Houston. enc CT the posts select
ed for the trial, do not indicate I'M
qualified satisfaction with the method
which has been in force at the Texas
post since April IA. The expression
CT commanding officers IS 10 the effect
that ii does not produce the results
expected OF it, 1t has been popular,
it is true, with the enlisted men. but
it seems to be equally unpopular with
commanding officers Of the various
organizations. Perhaps the abnormal
conditions which prevail at Fort Sam
Houston NAV be regarded as an eX-
cuse for the lack Of success or the
lack of endorsement of the system.
1t was felt, however, by the war de-
partment that If the method was salts
factory at Fort Sam Houston, owing
to the local conditions, it might be
safely extended generally throughout
the army, Among the objections which
have been expressed to the war de-
partments in reports from Texas are
that the scheme will greatly increase
paper work and that the post ex-
change win have great difficulty in
making expenses. 1t is also pointed
cut that the men are provided with
spending money at times when they
are more apt to use ii in dissipation
continuously than under the old sys-
tenn. 1t is felt, however, by some Of
the officers who comment on the sit
uaticn that it may be possible to
make the proposed frequent payments
under proper restrictions and avoid
the disadvantages while deriving the
benefits from the new method.

HOW A GREAT
ARMY IS Fed
IN CANT Align

How an army in the field gets its
food from day to day Is an interesting
story that is told in the special war
edition of the Scientific American OF
September 5, from which the following
extracts are taken.
The supply train Of an infantry di.
vision carries two days field and grain
rations. In the late afternoon or at
the end of a march or close OF COM
bat the division commander directs the
field trains to move up Immediately in
rear of the troops, and informs the
commanding officers of organizations
that one days rations have been order
ed to designated place. An orderly
Is sent to that place to conduct the
wagons TO the organization; after be
ing unloaded they return Immediately
and join the grouped portion of the
ration section. That same night, or
early the following morning, the emp
ty wagons are refilled from the supply
train, and this latter secures a renewal
of its supplies from designated point
on the line of communication, or is
reloaded from train pertaining to the
line OF communications, il the distance
from the end of that line of the, zone
occupied by the troops is so great as
10 warrant the use OF train. =
There are two methods of supplying
an army in the field: ..- , j.
1. BY eonsignments of supplies for
warded by the service of the line OF
communications and distributed as
above briefly indicated; and
2. BY utilizing the resources OF the
country. ~. -. =
1t is generally necessary to utilize
to the fullest extent the food. especial.
" the forage, available in the theatef
of operations. In former times the
invader possessed the right of booty
and piilage the resort to which was
most unfortunate for the army, as it
embittered the population and compro-
missed the safety Of the troops in an
enemy's country, and in the event OF
any real or imagined injury being done
them. It gave rise TO redress and re-
prisals .-.. -....:...

pointed bullet carries 415 grains.
The Germans we're the first to use
the pointed or Splitter bullet, as it is
called. This was in 1905, and Francs
followed the German example al
once. Its advantage is that il i1atens
the trajectory and increases conse'
quently the danger space. The Ger
man cartridge measures 3.22 inches
with the pointed bullet, and the
weights are 4S1 and S6s.9 grains re,
spectively The British use a round
bullet and the cartridge measures 3.05
inches and weighs 415 grains. The
Belgian cartridge measures 3.055
inches and weighs AL grains; the
Russian measures 3.025 inches and
weighs 424 grains, and the Austrian
measures inches and weighs As
