An eloquent commentary on the feel
| ing that exists between British officers
| and men, and reason why the list OF
casualties among the British commits
stoned officers has been so large is fur
4 nished in the following letter written
| hN noncommissioned officer of the Bluffs:
NO regiment fought harder than we
| did, and no regiment has better officers,
who went shoulder to shoulder with their
men, nut YOU can't expect absolute im-
possibilities to be accomplished no mat
ter how brave the boys are, when you
are lighting a force 20 to 30 times as
strong, If some of you at home who
have spoken sncerngly of British officers
could have seen how they handled their
men and shirked nothing YOU would be
ashamed Of yourselves. We are all de-
ttrmined when it is At again to return
and get our own back"
Hundreds of men from the Salvation
Army missions have answered the call Of
Lord Kitchener for services Loyalty and
promptly. Stories of the gallantry and
bravery of the Salvationsts are now
coming back from the front.
one of the wounded served as a motor
driver IN the royal field artillery He
was bandsman in the Salvation Army
before war was declared and told OF
ing the favorite songs of the army on
the battlenelds at night
Telling OF the fighting, the former
bandsman said:
Shells were bursting all around us and
was struck by a splinter. 1t was only
tlesh wound. however, so l bound 1t
up and went ahead with my work. First
1t seemed the enemy was getting the bet
ter of us, then he would retreat and so
the battle went all day Comrades were
falling all around me. The Germans
we're falling in hundreds So thick were
the dead of the enemy that when the
order to advance was given we simply
had to force the motor over heaps Of
bodies While following the retreatng
Germans six of us got lost. For four
days we tramped without anything to
eat or drink. on the third day our
tongues were hanging out from thirst
and two of the men went mad. 1t was
on the fourth night that we fell in with
the British ambulance sections, and one
of the first sounds heard was a wound
ed man in one of the wagons singing:
Tin child of n king,
I'm a child of king,
With Jesus my saviour,
I'm a child of a king
Il learned that he was a Salvationist
and later IN the stiffness of the night
heard a clear voice in another part Of
the camp singing:
" Then we'll roll the old chariot along,
And we won't drag on behind
THE song was taken UP in other parts
of the camp until 1t sweled into a chorus
of voices that made the air ring with
the old Salvation Army song"

Concern to British.
LONDON. Sept. q.

bONDOEN, sept CO.
The British army officials admittedly
are gravely concerned over the sanitary
situation in the field. Constantly re-
curing reports which can hardly be
overlooked, insist that real Asiatic
cholera is present. not only In Austria
among the wounded In Vienna ana
Budapest and among the troops on the
firing line In Galicia, but that 1t actually
has developed in certain parts of Russia.
In addition typhoid and typhus, as we'll
as dysentery, are said to be raging In
the ranks of some of the German armies
and navy French and British soldiers
suffering from milder disease.
AS a result of these developments ex-
traordinary activity is in evidence at all
of the hospital cases. To the troops at
the front have been sent enormous quun-
titles of quicklime, which Is being used
wherever 1t is necessary to clean UP
battlefelds in the rear of the troops.
In addition, the most extraordinary pre-
cautions are being taken to insure that
no water used by the army in the field
is taken from contaminated sources. In
this respect the British army is much
better off than any of the other forces
in the field.
From the first landing on French soil
the commanders of the troops have been
a ctive in safeguarding the water supply.
Whenever the field kitchens are not en-
gagged in supplying food for the men they
have been kept in operation boiling
water. Consequently up to the present
time the British eXpeditiona:y forces have
been remarkably free from disease.

DISPOSITION OF PRISONERS

100000 Austrians Taken Is Report.

PETRoGRAD, Sept 20.
The Russian regards the Austrian as
gentlemanly opponent, with whom 1t Is
pleasure to fight.
Not that the Austrian does not fight

has been as bloody as that on the Meuse,
ard the Austrian, though beaten, mas

troops.
The Austrians have never levied any
contribution on occupied towns, and nave
treated Russian prisoners and wounded
with reasonable humanity.
It is not easy to arrive at correct
estimate of the number of Austrian pf1s-
oners interned in various parts of Rus
STA The Bourse Gazette, one of the
leading evening newspapers of Petrograd,
sets the figure at S00,0O0. Among the
large contingent of prisoners at kiev is
the former Austrian commandant OF

The Austrian prisoners arriving in Pc

The first thing that strikes one about
them is the extraordinary number oil

are also streaming into Petrograd. They
are becoming a national problem.

To give the Austrian officer his due,
he does not often, when captured pes
ter his captors for favors. Some Aus
trian officers do not seem, however, to
take the war seriously. The best Aus
tran troops are those from the Tyrol.
They have had not quarrel with tho
Savs, and know nothing about them,
while the troops from eastern Austria
are either half Slav themselves or are
and not serious.
This lack of seriousness constitutes the
great moral defect of the Austro- Hum
garian army. 1t explains the readiness
of the Austrians to surrender and re-
treat.

The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1914-12-26

A street railway millionaire, own
er of a big trolley property, and at
the same time the highest-paid eper-
ating expert in the street car business
in Chicago, comes to the front again
today.
Bion ]. Arnold, chairman of the
Board of Supervising Engineers of all
the surface lines of Chicago, tells
newspaper men he is going to hold a
public hearing to find out why street
cars are crowded during rush hour.
Arnold has big force of men work
ing for him and reports piled on re-
ports. For seven years Arnold has
been drawing salary of $4,000 a
year, half paid by the city and half
by the car companies. The people
of Chicago pay him $4,000 year of
this salary for the express purpose of
finding out what's wrong and why.
Now this $4,000 a year expert
who has been exporting with Chi
, cago street cars for seven years, is
going to start hearings and have the
people come in and tell him what's
the matter. After seven years with
sheets full of figures stacked up in
bales in his Office, street car service
has been getting worse and worse
and the only answer of Bion ]. Ar
mold is: Eve are going to inVesti-
gate" .r''/
There is no doubt the record of
Bion ]. Arnold as a trolley capitalist
will be brought before the city coun-
Gil in some form i'd the near future.
And the question will be asked wheth-
er his point of view as a stakeholder
and official Of a trolley road doesn't
make difference in his decisions as
an expert for the people of Chicago.
The Elgin & Belvidere electric rail-
way line has Bion ]. Arnold for its
president. He and his brother are
the chief owners of the property. The
road operates under a contract with

employees. Bion ]. Arnold's name is
signed to the contract A strike and
tie-up of the road were necessary
before the men could organize.
Edward McMorrow, member of the
executive board of the Amalgamated
Assn, stated to Day Book reporter
today:
,"Your information that Bion ]. Ar
mold, chairman of the Board of Su-
pervising Engineers, is president of
the Egin & Belvidere company is
correct. We have nothing to say
against our treatment from Bion Ar
mold. He is classed by us as an cleo
trio, railway capitalist who is fair to
his men. When we first organized
