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. § FIRST TEST SI NEW PRIMARY New York.—New York’s new direct primary law had Its first test today when enrolled voters throughout the state expressed their preferences for party candidates for governor.
