The Food of
Armies
BY Garrett p. Serviss.

AS long as an army is fed il can
fight, provided, of course, that its
guns are fed also. We hear more
about the food Of the guns than
about that of the men, but the lat
ter is the more important of the
two. as was shown recently when
some of our boys in France. hav-
ing no guns, fought their way out
Of German captivity with their fists.
The improvements in army food
also keep step with those in pow
der and projectiles. High powered
| powder and high concentration
foods are the twin winners of mod
ern battles. Some of the foods
used as emergency rations" are
curious indeed, and some possess
astonishing powers of nOurishment
| locked up in a very small space.
Modern Improvements and discOy-
cries in the preservation and con-
centration of foods have. perhaps,
| been as effective as extending the
range Of military campaigns, ac-
celebrating the rapidity of strategic
movements and increasing the pow
er of sudden blows as any advance
in armament.
Meat stands, as it always has
done, at the head of the list of es-
sential foods for an army. Bread
in it's various forms, comes next.
Fruits and vegetables must gener-
ally be furnished in preserved and
concentrated forms, in which shape
| they supply some of the sugar.
which is very essential element Of
an army's ratiOns. COfee, tea.
chocolate, cocoa, and so on, are in
dispensable, and in some armies. as
the French, light wine is furnished
as a part of the regular diet of the
soldier. The Germans prefer beer.
1t is asserted that tea is the most
sustaining Of all the army bever-
ages because it is especially effec-
tive in arresting waste Of the bodily
tissues. Ii ranks next 10 milk in
this quality. The Russians are the
great tea drinkers, and the Eng
! lish are fond of it, but il has new, T
had the popularity of coffee with
/ American men. The Russian army
has many forms of compressed tea
| in its rations, and il is averred that
the Russian soldier could hardly
I fight without tea. one of the Illus
| trations shows a round disk Of
| compressed tea for the Russian
army made of whole leaves of prime
quality. and weighing three pounds.
( yet not too large 10 be slipped into
coat pocket other forms in
which the tea is pressed are bars,
slabs. and balls.
There is an emergency meat "a
/ ton called the "chain-shOt ration -
on account OF its form. 1t is used
/ by the Belgians, French and GER
mans as a winter ration. being too
| oily for summer use, and L. LO-
dian says of il in the Scientific
American that il lis the finest
combination Of sustaining and heat
/ ing qualities known among meat
| foods" Each ball in a chain con
stitutes one complete ration.
But the celebrated "pea-sausage. +"
| or "erbswurst" OF the German
army gets a setback on the same
| authority. for il is said 10 be about
as unsatisfactory a concentrated ra-
ton as any eXtant. and is actually
inedible when uncoOked. being Of
nauseating. bitter, and raw fla
vor."

SECTION VII.
GERMANY THE RULER
OF MIDDLE EUROPE

The significance of a middle
Europe as planned by the Ger
mans is not easy to grasp. The
scheme appears innocent, but
let no one be deceived. If real
lied, what is there in the world
to oppose this new Roman en-
pire? England, with its widely
scattered empire, of whose pop
ulation over one-half is in In
dia; the nOnmilitary republic
Of the United States; Russia di-
vided by internal dissensions
and relatively weakened
abroad? Nor should we be de-
ceived as TO the final purposes
concealed in this plan. Take
its relation TO Russia. By the
inclusion Of Poland, Germany
would take from Russia it's
principal manufacturing area.
BY its ability to close the Oar
danelles, Russia's great outlet,
il would hold a club over Rus
sia's export trade. Russia is
not today and will not prob
ably for some years be in a
position to rectify this situation.
And economic dependence is
very likely in these days TO lead
to political dependence as well.
The effect of middle Europe on
the other parts of Europe can
be judged from two sentences
of the most moderate of its adj
Vocates. Naumann and Won
List: Middle Europe will be
German at the core; it will use
the German language in its Off
cial communications" and.
conversely, Serbia and Monte
negro will have TO obey; they
will have TO do as they are
told" This is no commercial
scheme-it is a world empire
taking shape before our eyes.
