HOME EDITION VOLUME XIX, No. 326. German m a; 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.
