TOBACCO AND WAR.
The Weed Has Had an Inspiring
influence on Troops.

Send US cigarettes and more
cigarettes" is the plea to be found
in almost every letter sent home
from our soldiers at the front, for
tobacco seems as necessary to our
fighting men as food and drink.
There was time when the military
authorities would have stopped the
wholesale importation of the weed
on to, the battle field. wellington,
for instance, was very averse to his
men smoking when on service, but
today the commanders realize that
tobacco has an inspiring influence on
troops, which is an asset in warfare
that cannot be overlooked. 1t has
been proved that soldiers we'll sup
piled with tobacco, if their wind and
shooting do suffer slightly as re-
suit, fight better than those who are
deprived of the weed. Today one
hears of the Germans lying in the
trenches with pipes in their mouths,
ard even the cavalry are known to
advance while putting at cigarettes.
In the British trenches troops well
supplied with tobacco and matches
will lie uncomplainingly in water
logged dugouts, but if they are de-
prived of their smokes their hard
ships are felt the more. and they are
restless and irritable, as compared
with those who can find solace in
pipe or cigarette.
The influence of tobacco on fight
ing men was we'll illustrated during
the Franco Prussian war, when it
was actually stated by several mill
taro authorities that the crushing
defeat of the French was to large
extent due to their lack of comforts,
especially tobacco, when on the bat
tlefeld.
On the other hand, every effort
was made to provide the German
troops with the weed. Subscrip-
tions, headed by members of the
royal court in Berlin, were raised
for the purpose of providing the
men in The field with tobacco. His
tory tells of how the German -hussars
galloped into the charge with huge
cigars in their mouths, and the in
fantry stood shoulder to shoulder
while they puffed at their pipes
Bismarck himself set an example to
his men in this respect, for he was
seldom seen without a cigar. The
Iron Chancellor, at the conclusion of
a battle, used to walk among the
wounded and, taking cigars from
his pocket, would light them and
give them to the soldiers to smoke.
Gen Count Moltke, who did much
to bring about the German successes
in the Franco-Prussian war, admit.
ted that tobacco was necessary to
him when scheming on the battle
field. He took it in the form of
snuff, and kept it in a handsome
gold casket, which stood at his
elbow, while he pored over war
charts in his field tent.
In the present campaign tobacco
is finding its way into the hospitals.
While being operated upon some SOL
diers are allowed to smoke ciga-
rettes.-IH-Bits.
