safely there, to transport to them the mountains of provisions that they would consume.
 The railroad, therefore, is the first necessity in feeding the army. All the countries in the war have good trans portation facilities with the exception Of Russia. Perhaps this is why Rus sia has done less execution so far than was expected of her at the wars out set. Over the railroad lines of Ger many and France trains are hurrying day and night with stores of food.
 Where there are no railroads huge automobile trucks are used
 At the beginning of the war the countries engaged took over practi- cally all the automobiles they could lay their hands on. The machines thus taken have been used for every conceivable purpose. There have been skirmishes between motor cars armed with quick-fring guns and mounted troops of the enemy. h. fantry have been moved with incred- ible swiftness by means of taxicabs which used to ply in the streets of London, Berlin and Paris. Big guns are hauled by motor tractors. Gen. erals and staff officers speed from end to end of the far-hung lines in racing cars. But, most important of all, food is carried by motor truck to hungry men. Heavy motor trucks, capable of carrying several tons each of food, are attached to the various field depots. Adjoining these depots are the bakeries, where thousands of loaves are baked by day and night shifts for the men at the front. Bread and other food are rushed by motor truck to re- plenishing points established at fre- quent intervals behind the second line of troops. Where roads are too bad for the heavier vehicles, light auto mobile delivery vans or even horse drawn carts and wagons of every de- scription are used to convey food to the replenishing points. From these small depots men carry food, bread and coffee to the "dugouts" where the lighting men rest or even to the trenches, making their way to these danger zones by deep ditches dug for the safe passage of men under fire.
 The cooking equipment of the arm ies has been devised for portability and efficiency Each regiment carries its own cooking outfits. On the march the regimenta! cooks are busy getting ready the mems dinners or suppers. Immense cookers" are mounted on wagons or automobile trucks, gener- ally the latter. Each cooker holds gallons of strong, meaty stew, made of beef and vegetables. The Russians have an automobile field kitchen

Value of Country Life

The claim has been made that tba highest type of character cannot de. velop in the country; that the stress and strain of city life are needed to purify, refine and spiritualize.

LOSE THEIR SPEECH
Many Soldiers in Hospitals Un-
 able to Talk.
Men Recovering From Severe Wounds Must Be Taught to Talk as Chil- dren-Can't Frame Words
 Physicians Explain Work.
By KARL H. voN wlEcAND.

Laon, France.-Today l saw men being taught to talk again. In the human repair shops,' the great Ger man field hospitals, these men were learning anew the use of brains, tongue, hands and feet. They had re- ceived their baptism of fire Bullet, shrapnel, broken shell, all had done their work And now medical science was doing it's utmost to restore the victims to partial normality.
 This is the third time that Laon has been in possession of the Germans, first in 1874 and again in 1870, but this time only was the city taken with out fearful bloodshed. The main hos pital is improvised, a large roomy school building, well lighted and aired. In front is a large bronze monument erected to three young Frenchmen- cs-tireurs-executed by the Ger. mans in 1870 for sniping. Singularly enough this monument is unscathed.
 Professor Brockenheimer, in charge, and Doctor Luetkenmueller, chief sur geon, explained the work. They care for 2,100 severe cases, but the light wounded are given first aid treatment and sent back to the home bases, as this is too close to the actual front to permit keeping any wounded that can be moved More than a score Of cases, French and German alike, where trephining operations had been nee- cessary, were shown. It was singu- lar picture Through the windows came the deep, low bass note Of dis tant guns killing, smashing, tearing, maiming the human 'tenpins." Here they were being patched up Nurses sat by bedsides of friend and foe alike, bathing fevered brows and teaching pale-faced bearded men to speak the most simple words, telling them the names of objects and putting words together into sentences.
 What is this?" asked Professor Brockenheimer, holding pencil be- fore a bearded warrior from whose skull he had cut splinter of steel. The lips trembled Then came the 1CSDl0 CiltS W C1 CnSl4s
 held out a cigarette and asked what 1t was. The mans lips moved and a look came on his face which seemed to say that he knew what it was but couldn't say. Then Professor Bockenheimer came to the rescue. "Wtat do we do with this?" he asked. An apparent tremendous mental effort and then the reply: Smoke"
 Correct said the professor; "now what is it?" This time the brair and tongue worked and the answer was correct.
 Hours have to be spent by the nurses teaching these men all over again" explained the professor Tt requires amending patience and per severance"
 Many cases of plastic surgery v ere shown. Men with most of their faces smashed away were being brought back to life with parts of their bodies being grafted on to cover the terrible gaping holes. Many would be much better dead, but the doctors feel it is their duty to save all they can.
 We do not ask the wounded whether they want to live or die, D explained Professor Bockenheimer.
 At the main French hospital Profes- sor Manasse of Stuttgart was in charge Here, too, nurses were teach ing men to talk again and terrible wreeks of humanity were being patched up.

tain was he who best KwWy@ could rob the country to N NS&kzSsk fill the stomaehs of his - fighting men; when arm ies lived off the land and grew fat when the larders round about the bat tlefield were well provided, or starved when the fortunes of war or the needs of strategy staged the fight far from human habitations. Not so today. Vietuals and victories go together. In the long campaign big guns and high powered rifles are less important than good bread and beef If a modern army were to attempt to take it's prov ender from the territory over which it travelled it would have to keep on the move all the time, for in a few days it would exhaust the provisions of even the most fertile countryside. Like cloud of loeHsts 1t would eat bare the fields it traversed.
 A nation going to war must think first how it will feed it's million men in the field 4 nation preparing over long period of years for life and death struggle with it's neighbors must spend as much thought and money on it's lines of military com munioation as on it's fortresses and armaments Science, which has revo- lutionized every branch of warfare, has evolved a commissary system which transeends anything dreamed of by the great leaders of other days. And the men behind the fighting line, the men whose business it is to see that the army's unsuitable nav is sup piled with steady stream of provi- sions, are no less heroes than the men facing death in the trenches. It is quite as big job to feed as it is to lead million men. Indeed, the mistakes Of general at the front may be far less costly than the mistakes of eommissariat at the rear. Cour age and enterprise may make the struggle even though officers blunder and re-enforcements fail to arrive.
 Imagine the vastness of the task of feeding millions of men on a battle line hundreds of miles long. The great battle line in France for weeks ex- tended over two hundred miles. Fac ing each other on that vast line are probably between three and four mil lion soldiers. They must get three square meals day. They must get plenty of food, nourishing food, well-cooked and served hot. The concentrated rations in use by all governments and customarily carried by soldiers on the march for emer. gency purposes are not intended for day-in-day-out use The soldier must have a varied diet. consisting of meat and bread and vegetables and some thing to drink-and a little dessert now and then-precisely as must the clerk or the mechanic or the profes- sional man. How does he get it?
 He wouldn't get it at all if it were not for the railroad train and the mo tor truck. They have been laying their railroads with the thought that some day a great war would come in which it would be essential to mobilize all their men without a moments delay, and move them to some point on their frontiers. Therefore they built many and splendid railroad lines. Germany especially saw the need for railroads built for her army as much as for hor civilians. There was no sense in arming and training a mighty host of men unless at the same time she built great railroad lines to carry them to the scene of war, and after they were
