WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES.
August 5.-The French have captured
structions to the troops which is 80
interesting that I translate the whole
of 1t:
Corps - General Headquarters.
July 10. 1913. Note for troops.
Il. The enemy must be ignorant of
your presence. If he knows it he will
direct upon you the fire of his cannon
and the bombs of his aviators. Every
| imprudence and every transgression of
orders received endangers your line
| and that Of your comrades. Besides
it reveals to the enemy our intentions
and may cost you your life. There
fore, conform to the letter Of the or
ders given and the sentinels observa-
tions.
Best Way to Hide.
"2 Enemy aviators must not see you.
Hide the moment they appear. The
| best method of sneltering ones scif -

| or lie down. Don't leave the canton
| ments and woods unless the service
demands it. All movements made out
| side of cover are noted by the enemy.
Beware of enemy aviators throwing
| bombs. When halting seek shadow
and protection from above. Instead
of grouping together scatter out in
the felds. In case of an aerial bonn
bardment place horses against walls
or steep banks Should the halt be
| prolonged dig Immediately trenches
against shell fragments.
SO. The person charged with the
surveillance Of the routes is your
superior. 1t is necessary. therefore. to
follow his suggestions and orders as
IL coming directly from your superiors.
All disopedierce and all rebellion will
be severely punished.
THE police may use arms to force
obedience. Their instructions are es-
| culation goes well you will be well
revictualed; if poorly. you will 60
hungry and perhaps lack ammunition
Avoid Wine and Alcohol.
u. Do not waste what you find
along the route. Perhaps 1t will serve
you or others. Take only the food
| actually needed; all that remains will
| be gathered Tor you and you Will De
| the first to profit from it. Avoid
| drinking wine and alcohol These
| drinks render you unfit for combat
| and will bring severe punishment
"5. Lend a hand everywhere when
ever you are able to render service.
| Help stalled vehicles to retake the
route and push out of the road
abandoned vehicles and horses. Re
pair slight damages to the road. u
YOU act thus you will aid the general
advance and consequently the battle,
| il will also better your own revic-
"6. If you get lost seek Immediately
| to find your unit. Many assembly
centers exist where you will be given
| food, cantonment and information
Any one failing to go to an assembly
center is considered a shirker and will
be treated as such. If you are wound
ed and still able to walk go to the
| assembly point You will there be
| fed, bandaged and conducted to the
| rear. You have no right to leave the
assembly point alone. You will leave
| with a group of others.
ii. Employ all your force to conquer
the enemy and infiict upon him an
initiating defeat. Only victory will
bring you a peace wherein existence
for you and yours is possible. The
| grander the victory the nearer is
peace.
