Every morning at o'clock our Prus-
sian captain or tuehrcr (meanIng
ruidel swings himself down from the
fiuwsv compartment of a second class
German passenger coach, runs his
commanding eyes along the half doZ-
en- other frowsy compartments of the
carriage. and cries resonantly, "Guteu
moreen meme herren. Iaben sic
cut geschlafen 3''
N This inquiry q dozen correspon-
dents from half as many countries,
who have by no means gut geschlaten,
poke their disheveled heads from the
compartments and declare with more
on less confidence that they have in
deed slept we'll and are many times
thankful for the captains kind in-
Quiry
And you, heber Herr Hauptmann,
have YOU also slepr Well?'
"O thank you many times, my gem
tomen. / nave truly slept enormously
Well. Colossally we'll. l thank you
many tmes,'
He then formally shakes hands with
one and all.
Nasal Evidence Of War.
This exchange of greetings is every
morning idetical and ia performed
with great ceremony WheresoeVer o
O'Clock happens TO find us. Some
fines il is in The switch wards of a
Russian town with seven consonants
to three vowels-Wloszow is a fair
specimen. Sor -etimes II is I'M the
midst af fields spider-webbed with
lines of abandoned trenches and with
naught but the ruins of human hab-
itation in sight And sometimes It IS
i'm the deep dark depths OF lf ior-
esq where there was fighting once
as You may know from the smeH o., on
dead horses borne to you on the emu
morning breeze.
our captains morning appearance
IKE his salulauon, never varies EF
ciyhody else looks i'll conditioned ana
blear-eyed and oily and IS as Disagree
able To himself as he Is TO ms com
p1nlons. To fare for I'VE DAYS ana
nights over a besmirched country
without removing ones clothes does
not eonduce to spruceness, nor does
a morning wash in one-third or
hottie of mineral water do much TO
restore IL. These facts serve TO EN-
phasize the marvel of the captain
appearance, but do not explain me
method by which he attains H. ne
seems always clean shaNen. HIS lohS
gray overcoat of "a Kind of broadcloth
is never Wrinkled. HIS boots, Whlcn
the night before were caked with muq'
are always presentable when he comes
forth. His gloves always look as IT ne
had just drawn on fresh palr' ana
his face is never oily.
