Witnesses Tell How Men
Act in Battle Under Fire

The present war will furnish new
facts concerning the psychology OF
the battlefield. 1t should be remem-
beret that, as the Encyclopedia Bri-
tannica says, in very graphic way,
"the duration of campaign is largely
affected by the deadly properties of
modern firearms. 1t is true that the
losses in battle are relatively less than
in the day of Brown Bess and the
smooth-bore cannon and almost insig-
nifcant when compared with the fear
full carnage wrought by the sword and
spear. The reason is simple.
"a battlefield in the old days, ex-
cept at close quarters, was a compar-
atively safe locality and the greater
part Of the troops engaged were sell
dom exposed for long time together
to a hot and continuous fire. Today
death has a far wider range and the
strain on the nerves is consequently
far more severe. Generalization.
therefore, sets in at all earlier period
and is more complete.
when troops once realize their in
feriority they can no longer be de-
pended on. 1t is not the losses they
have actually suffered, but those that
they expect to suffer, that affect them.
Unless discipline and national spirit
are of superior quality, unless the SOL
der is animated by something higher
than the mere habit of mechanical
obedience, panic, Sinking and whole
sale surrender will be the ordinary
features of campaign.
"These phenomena made them
selves apparent, though in a less de-
gree, as long ago as the American
civil war, when the weapon of the
infantry was a muzzle-loading rifle,
firing at most two rounds minute,
and when the projectiles of the artil-
lery were hardly more destructive
than the stone shot Of Mons Meg.
With the magazine rife, machine
guns, shrapnel and high explosives
they have become more pronounced
than even at Vionville or Plevna."

FIELD CLUB TO LIVE,
ITS MEMBERS SAY
Unanimous Decision Reached
at Meeting Held at Com
mercial Club.
BALANCE IN TREASURY

The Omaha Field club is alive and
going to be more so. This was
the unanimous decision at an enthu-
siastic meeting of about seventy-hve
of the members last evening at the
Commercial club.
This meeting has been called"
said President Rutherford, ito dispel
an idea that has gained much head
way that the Field club is going to
smash. Some members have fears Of
a big assessment. Others are alarmed
because of the talked-of sale of the
grounds. The Field club is in better
financial condition. All debts have
been paid and there is $500 in the
treasury (Applause.)
A. B. Shotwell, member of the
board of directors, addressed the
meeting and showed how the club
can make a splendid investment by
buying the Field club grounds if the
people of Douglas county decide to
sell them.
Proposes Lot Sale.
Suppose the property sold at
$300,0O0," he said. 1--WE could sell
seventy-six lots on the east end OF
the grounds at about $1,000 each:
This would take care of nearly half of
! the cost. And in ten years the
grounds would be worth 100000. Do
you think it would be hard to sell
stakeholder memberships in such an
investment"
He also told how the board of d.
rectors has planned to cut down on
the managers salary. He now re-
ceives $1,000 a year. By employing
him only six months of the season it
is proposed to cut this to $1,000. He
stated 5000 could also be saved on
the golf expense.
THE raw food for the dining room
cost $4,000 last year." he said. at
sold for about $4,000. This allowed
for no overhead expense. We actually
lost money on the dining room. We
propose to cut out such dishes as
lobster, which, if it isn't used today,
is spoiled by tomorrow"
| Smltn Iof Goou Eats.
! Ed P. Smith declared that the man.
agement must not attempt to save
money on the dining room.
Others spoke, generally voicing the
opinion that big membership can be
secured when the bugaboos are dis
PEELED, pointing out that it has the
best golf course and that, with the
removal of the Happy Hollow club il
will be the nearest club to the city's
center.
1t was decided to remain neutral
regarding the bill now in the legis.
lature and each present member was
made committee of one to get some
other good member to diffuse optim-
ism regarding the club.

LESS INTENSE ON
ITALIAN FRONT
Teuton Attacks Have Ceas-
ed Along Northern End
OF Line
Armv Hendnuartera

italian Army Headquarters in
Italy, Thursday. Nov. 29s--(By Tns
Associated Press. )-The Iessening OF
the Intensity Of the enemy attacks
along the northern front is regarded
as forecasting the moving of activity
to other points, either for massed at
tacks or in preparation of defensive
positions capable of meeting the
Italians, reinforced by the British
and French, in a concerted advance.
Aviators report that the enemy Is
feYerishly active along the Taglia-
mento river where he is compelling
the civilian population to assist in
the construction of lines of defensive
trenches and works on the eastern
bank Of the river to which he prob
ably would fall back In case Of q
reverse along the Piave.
The arrival of a number of AM
erican officers is regarded as highly
satisfactory and perhaps significant
OF coming events. Up to the present
the American government has re-
quired military and naval observers
to remain comparatively inactive in
Italy so as not to affront Austria
Hungary with whom America is yet
at peace.
Brigadier General Jos. III. Scriven,
who is here to study the Italian
situation for the American govern
ment, yesterday inspected the line
along the upper Piave and today was
going along the northern. fighting
front.
The general went into the first
line trenches along the edge OF the
Piave yesterday, noting the condi-
tion of officers and men as well as
the character of the defenses, the
andl guns. A heavy artillery
fire was coming from enemy bat
teries with rife fre from the BUSH
es. The Italian batteries were max
ing strong reply over the place where
the general and his escorts were
their inspection. At another
place the general saw a heavy artil-
lery duel around Monte Tomba.
General Scriven says he was i'm
pressed most favorably with all that
he saw, as 1t shows the Italian army
has been able TO make an effective
reorganization and is now in a high
state OF efficiency. The Piave river
he regards as having good defensive
not so much against
infantry as ii Is narrow and shallow
but IL is sufficient to be a barrier
against the enemy's crossing with
artillery unless they establish strong
pontoon crossings which the Italians
thus far have made impossible.

Grenville Hancock Has

First Lieutenant
HOME OF FURLOUGH
TO VISIT PARENTS
Experiences Flying Among
Clouds Depicted By
Soldier Flyer

Successfully passing the tests ap-
piled to prospective aviators. Gren-
vile l.. Hancock of Fargo, son OF
Architect and Mrs. George Hancock
Of North Broadway, is home on a
brief furlough.
Mr.. Hancock has just completed
the reserve military aviator test. and
has been recommended for a commits
sion as first lieutenant, which will
come from Washington in about two
weeks.
Mr.. Hancock has been in training
at Scott Field. BeIleville, ILL.,, having
been there five months, and he talked
70 Inc Forum most interestingly of
his experiences there.
4 Flying among the clouds is most
exciting, said Mr. Hancoek This
morning. Leaving the ground i'm
good weather, one goes up 1000 TO
5000 feet to find things materially
different. Snow stoms in the clouds.
regular, northwestern billiards.. are
sometimes encountered. while rains
are common.
Just the other day came to the
ground with my planes covered with
ice, gathered in a sleet storm far
above the ground.
The United States is certainly do
ing thorough work in training its
aviators for service. Men are given
two months ground work before they
are permitted in a machine. They
are given all kinds of work relating
to the aviation mans duties in serv-
Ice, including teIegraphy, map maxi
ing, photography, etc. Many men
take all the preliminary work and
are let out after they begin flying,
as the instructors find they are not
suitable material.
Flying is a fascinating game and
enjoy It immensely The variety of
experiences Is almost limitless. Up
IN, and above the clouds, in still and
choppy atmospheres, the gusty and
sudden changes, air pockets and
gales, keeps one busy to meet condi-
tions as they swiftly occur when fly
ing at speed OF 10 miles. an hour.
The Reserve Military Aviator tests
are very strict and no baIlks or errors
are tolerated. The first test Is land
ing at mark from an altitude of 900
feet with a dead stick" BY dead
stick is meant a dead propeller. that
is, the ignition switch is cut and the
propeller Is not turning. When we
land ordinarily we throttle the
propeller down to about 300 revolu-
tions just so 1t is turning and so the
engine does not have to be cranked
every time you land. The engine
idling at this speed of course has no
pull but it gives you a chance to
shoot on the throttle and go up in
case you get into a difficulty on at
tempting to land This test Is made
with a dead stick and you have to
use your best Judgment in landing
as close as possible. as YOU are only
