THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 9oμ, 1914,

HOW OUR ARMY IS FED.

LONDON BUSMEN'S GOOD WORK.

Unobtrusive but marvellously effici ent." It was the British Army Service Corps on which this verdict was passed, and what lends it weight is the fact that the man who uttered it not only had ha full opportunities of forming a judgment right ap at the front of the British lines, but he himself, when at home in England, is probably one of dw most experienced organisers in the country.N

Marvellously efficient," repeated this. authority. "Those London motor deli very vans, driven by London busmen, are maintaining a service almost as regu lar pe they do at home, And though thoir work is not so spectacular as that of the troops in the fring line, they take their share of danger, too, for the motor-wagons that carry the ammonition and supplies not only go right up to the front and sometimes come under fire themselves, but they have alsó frequently boon com- pelled to pras through districts infested by the chewy's patrols, and they never know sometimes as they pass through a wood whether a volley from unseen Uh- lans lurking there may not finish them off there where they sit before they even aus- pect that in enemy is there."

WELL FED AS AT HOME AS WELL

The feeding of the English Army in the field is indeed being most excellently done The soldiers themselves admit that with allowance made for the diffeul- ties of supply necessarily prevailing duz- ing the tine that they are actually under fire, they are as well fed as at home, and the officers praise especially the bacon.

The soldiers who have now been fight ing for a fortnight on the Aisne feed in different fashion, according as they are actually in the trenches, engaging the enemy, or held in reserve. The whole of the infantry of the British force is not, of course, in the firing line murning the trenches at once. The trenchies are held by shitte," changed usually at night, so as to save the relieving and retiring bodies of men from being fired on as they they go.

Those who have left the trenches march back to a sheltered position in the rear, where they are in comparative security from the German shells and can rest in peace till their turn for duty comes round again. Sometimes this safe resting place is protected by a rise of the ground; sometimes it is deep in the thick woods that stretch in places behind the British line. The Camerons have been lucky į they have found a great underground saudstone Cave, rainproof, windproof, where half a battalion can sleep and cat and more about as safely and almost as comfortably as in their barrück-room at home.

When the soldiers are back here in re serve the men have an excellent diet. They get bacon and chesse and jam kad tea and often even fresh meat. After a fortnight without the long marches to which they were accustomed in the first few weeks of the campaign, many of ther are getting perceptibly fat..

HOT TEA IN THE TRENCHES. When their turn comes to go up again for their spell-generally twenty-four hours in the trenchen they take Buck of preserved beef and biscuits with them. That is the main supply for the day, and it is not as unpalatable as it sounds, for the biscuits are of excellent wheaten flour and are easily broken-not the teeth. sinasher the old kind of biscuit was. But sometimes even there in the trenches they have hot food brought up to them frour the rear. And the orderlies who come along during a lull in the firing with a big can of bot tea hung between them de serve all the gratitude they get for the Gerinen guns may open fire again at any monient, and when Jack Johnsons" are #lving the only safe place is underground.

And so, there under the shelter of the earth parapet, outside which the German shells are bursting, the English private. eata his ration as comfortably as if he were af picnic and with far more. appetite- Ward Price in the Dail Haik
