THE DAILY FOOD OF AN ARMY

How an army IN the field gets It's food
from day To- day is an interesting story
that is told in the special war edition
Of tho Scientific imcricon. from which
the following extracts are taken.
Tho supply train II an infantry divi-
sion carries two days field and grain
rations. In tho late afternoon or st
the end of a march or close ~ a combat
tho division commander directs tho fed
trains to moN, up Immediately IN rear
Of the troops and informs the COM
handing officers OF organizations that
one days rations have been ordered 10
q designated place. An orderly is sent
IN that place to conduct tn" wagons 20
the organization: after bong uuloaded
they return Immediately and join tho
grouped portion of the ration section.
That same night or early the following
morning the empty wagons are refillsi
from the supply train, and this latter
secures a renewal Of its supplies from
"A designated point on the line of COM
muniCations or is reloaded from ira "A
pertaining to the line II communica-
lions, II the distance from the end ~
that line Of the zone occupied by tho
troops is so great as To warrant the use
Of a train.
There are two methods Of supplying
an army in the field:
!. by consignments OF supplies for
wardcd by the service ~ the line ~
communications and distributed az
above briefly Indicated; and
.. by utilizing the resources ~ TO
country.
1t is generally necessary to utilize tp
the fullest extent the food, especially
the forage, available in the theatre uf
operations. In former times the invade
possessed the right Of booty and pi.'ass,
the resort to which was most unfur-
tunatc for the army, as II cmhittgr,i
the population and compromised tNs
safety Of the troops IN an cp,nys
country, and in the event uf any raj
or imagined injury being done them It

IL Is likely that Blumenau, New Ham
burg and some of the other towns and
villages, which have maintained their
German identity for half "A century, will
continue to maintain it for a good many
years to come but the natural tendency
OF immigration Is to surround them and
permeate all southern Brazil with pre-
ponderant Latin population Forced
streams OF state aided emigration from
Germany. II a victor in the war, is the
only thing that could materially in
crease the German population in south
ern Brazil.
Usually the assumption has been that
a new Germany would set itself up as
an Independent Power or else Germany
forcibly would seize large section Of
southern Brazil and establish German
colonial protectorate. Both of these as
sumptions were based ON the supposed
sympathy OF the present German popu-
lntion In Brazil with the German milf
taristic policy and also on much larger
German population than exists.
No one can doubt the devotion OF the
Germans In Brazil TO their associations
with the fatherland. They undoubtedly
sympathlze with II In the present strug-
gle. But they do not care for German
bureaucratic government over them
selves, and even as an Independent re-
puzzle of their own they would have lit
tie sympathy with German ovcrlordship
IN the sense that the pan-Germanists
Of the fathcrland regard It.
The political leanlngs Of the Germans
and their loyalty to Brazil has been
brought in question in all the discussion
Of the German policy. If Germans in

German emigration was resumed the
year after the Franco-prussian war
and continued with some steadiness for
a quarter Of a century. Then it dropped
for almost decade, to he resumed
about ten years agO.
An inquiry as to the actual immigra-
ton, as shown both by thu Brazilian
and the German official statistics. fails
to reveal the supposed million Germans
and descendants Of Germans In Brazil.
In the period Of almost century the
total emigration from Germany to
Brazil has not reached 10000. The
Aimdndch de GOtjd gives the total from
1920 to 1912, inclusive. as $4,000.
II Is significant that fully one-half
the immigration has been since the
Franco-Prussian war. and this immi-
grafton, as everybody who has been
in Brazil knows, has spread generally
over the country and has not been di-
rected to the colonies founded in the
decade between 1850 and 1860.
In the p. riod from 1871 to 1894. ac-
cording to tn" German statistics, tine
emigration to Brazil amounted to 3d.
900 individuals. and to other parts Of
South America 3l,Oa0.
These figures were given by the late
Baron Speck Won Sternburg, whea he
was Ambassador At Washington, and
so far as | am aware have never been
contradict'd In recent years part OF
the German emigration has been TO the
State of Sac paulo, which has had a

OF Sac paulo. The thnly settled
