VERY HUMAN
INSTITUTION
Iron Discipline of Barracks
and Caste Spirit Which Divid- j
ed Officers Prom Rank Not
Much in Evidence Now.
Berlin. —The German army is a very !
human institution just now. The iron |
discipline of the barracks and the caste
spirit which divides the officer from the
rank and file are not so much in evi
dence.
In one of the better restaurants of
Berlin sat two officers of the line. The
worn look of the field-gray uniform of
one showed that he had seen service.
That the other had been at the front
was made clear by a bandage over his
head.
Following an animated recital the of
ficer in the worn uniform picked up a
bundle which had lain beside him on the
table and proceeded to unwrap six mouth
organs.
“You see,” he said to his convalescent
companion, "life 'in the trenches —and
there will be much of it, I sea
rather slow. There are several men in
iny company who can play these things
and I am taking these back to them. A
little music helps them pass the time
fluid keeps them in good humor.”
”1 gave my captain five boiled potatoes
and the half of a salt herring the other
day and he told me he appreciated it,”
said a private when asked to explain to
what extent life in the barracks re
sembled life in the firing line.
To the remark that hunger comes to
all men regardless of station in life, the
private commented:
No Thank*.
"That is so. of course. But the of
ficer did not have to thank me for it.”
It would have served no purpose to ar
gue this point with the man so another
quetttion was asked.
“This is the time when everybody
must do his duty,” replied the man, and
then added slowly and with emphasis,
“and that duty right now seems to be
the same for .all alike—everybody within
his place, of course. The officer is as
likely to be shot as we are, and some
times more so. and that. 1 believe, evens
things up considerably.”
“A sort of democracy of death.” sug
gested the interviewer.
But the word “democracy” is in Ger
many principally associated with Ihe
“social democrats”—tl4e German soci
alist party. For that reason the pri
vate had nothing more to say.
It is as difficult to interview a Ger
man pr.vate as it is to get information
from one of the few officers who inhabit
the large rambling general staff build
in" across the Reichstag building It
seems to be *s much the duty of the
soldiers to be silent as to fight.
Liberal.
Tljere is no doubt that the dermau
army In the field is a more liberal in
stitution than the German arnjy iu the
barracks. One reads almost daily of
men carrying Their officers,to the dress
ing station behind the trench of firing
line, and of officers who after the
fighting is over make frantic effort to
succor their wounded men. Letters
which speak of officers dividing their
parcels from home with their men have
ceased to be a novelty.
On. '-e whole it Is a rare thing for a
Gernian private to get the iron cross of
the' second and first classes together.
So far there are three cases: lnfantrist
Maurer SUber, of Querfurth. Reserve
Corporal Carl Frank of Sinsheini. and
lnfantrist Herfry Mueller of Geestemu
ende.. the latter also earning promotion
to sergeant.
Mueller serves with a machine-gun
section. In a recent engagement the
crew of the section was shot down,
Mueller eat Tit. his wounded corporal
into a safe place behind the firing line,
and then returned to the machine gun,
which he began to work with such es
ficiency that with a few moments he
had killed and wounded nearly all the
men in two of the enemy’s trenches.
Apparently Three
Types of Big Guns
Much that is sensational has been
written by non-experts about the big
guns that have made their appearance
in the war, and which have been so de
structive to -the cities against which
they have been used. As a matter of
fact, very little of a definite nature is
known about these their size or
details. An expert discusses these
guns in the special , war issue of the
Scientific American, where he sums
up the evidence as follows:
Apparently there are three types:
■an 11-inch German howitzer; a 12-
inch Austrian howitzer; and a Ger
man 16-inch siege gun. The first two
pieces have been freely photographed
—the hugh 16-lnch ' piece has, appa
rently, so far escaped the camera.
Report has It that. Austria sent sev
eral of these pieces to Belgium and
tFYance for use in the German attack,
and that they were manned by Aus
trian artillerymen. That this was so
would seem to be proved by photo
graphs of this gun, in which the ar
tillerymen are Austrians and ths coun
try has the characteristic appearance
of Flanders.
The outfit of one gun consists of the
motor car carrying the gun detach
ment, a car carrying the foundation
bed. the turntable and mounting, in
cluding the aleeve and recoil gear, and
a car for the 'gun.
That these heavy pieces lose their
mobility and are liable to capture If
they leave the macadam roads is
shown by photographs of one section
(the mounting) sunk to the hubs in a
wheat field,
COLLISION CONFIRMED.
Norfolk, Vs. Confirmation was
given here today of tho report that
the three-masted schooner James H.
Hargrave of Baltimore war sunk early
Friday near Wolf Trap light, in Ches
apeake bay, in about 21) feet of water.
Her crew was taken off by a power
boat and ’later came to Norfolk, re
ported that the Hargrave was sunk
through collision with the fishing
steamer Fairfield, wrtch was injured
at the same time and towed to port by
another steamer.
