DAILY FOOD OF
ARMYJN FIELD
The Supply Train of an Infan
try Division Carries Two
Days Field and Grain Rations.
How an army In the field gets its
food from day to day is an interest
ing story that is told in tlie special
war edition of the Scientific American,
from which the following extracts are
taken:
The supply train of an infantry di
vision carries two days' field and grain
rations- In the late afternoon or at
the end of a march or close of a com
bat the division commander directs
the field trains to move up immedi
ately in rear of the troops, and in
forms the commanding officers of or
ganizations that one day's rations have
been ordered to a designated place.
An orderly Is sent to that place to
conduct the wagons to the organiza
tion; after being unloaded they return
immediately and join the grouped por
tion of the ration section. That same
night, or early the following morning,
the empty wagons are refilled from
the supply train, and this latter se
cures a renewal of its supplies
a designated point on the line of com
munications, or is reloaded from a
train pertaining to the line of commu
nications, if the distance from the end
of that line of tlm zone occupied by
the troops is so great as to warrant the
use of a train.
Two Methods.
There are two methods of supplying
an army in the field:
1. By consignments of supplies for
warded by the service of the line of
aommunieations and distributed as
above briefly indicated; and
2. By utilizing the resources of the
country.
It is generally necessary to utilize
to the lullest extent the food, espe
cially the forage, available in the the
atre of operations. In former times
the invader possessed the right of
booty and pillage, the resort to which
was 'most unfortunate for the army,
as it embittered the population and
compromised the safety of the troops
in an enemy's country, and in tha
event of any real or imagined injury
being done them, it gave rise to re
dress and reprisals. It furthermore
paused the interruption of all commer
cial transactions, and stores were not
offered for sale, as private individuals
were compelled to submit their sup
plies to the repaeity of the enemy.
These evils were in a measure reme
died by not taking directly from pri
vate individuals, but by making upon
the civil officials certain demands
called requisitions fdr a specified
quantity of supplies necessary for the
troops. The local authorities could
apportion the demand among the in
habitants. according to the known
means of each, or could procure the
stores by purchase. The former prac
tice of spoliation thus assumed the
milder form of a war tax, regularly
ordered and collected. This eventual
ly led to tlie practice of giving receipts
for the stores delivered, and the in
demnity for the same was the next in
novation. All these modifications were,
of course, only introduced after a great
interval of time. §
