OFFIZIERSHEIM. tioduzischki, Kus
na. End of May. Night and early
morning- had been cool, irst we nao
TidUen for hours through the ctiin
awn, the horses plunging to thelr
bellies in icy water and the black mua
splashing over us until we looked like
coalheavers. Then the wind died
away and the sun was climbing high.
.After an hour's march through swamp
and forest every man was wet un
sweat and parched with thlnst.
We were marching light. Overcoats
and Jackets had been left at regimental
headquarters In the village of Intoka,
but, even so. the nature of the soggy
ground made progress slow and dif
ficult. . , .
Toward noon we stumbled Into , a
thick forest or forest-that had been
thick for now the pines stood stark
masts. Artillery fire had torn away
fh.ii h-rnfirH The ground was lit
tered two and three feet deep ''lth
debris, which in some places covered
shattered cannon wheels and odds and
ends of soldiers equipment.
Soldier Lies Like Boy In Fields.
Jn the suggestion of decent shelter
made by a clump of four thick-growing
trees which shell nre hadr not reacneo
lflv seven bodies.
An effort had been made to dispose
Wm -iirnrnimlv. The legs were not
mimnlrf nn like the legs of the Rus
flans who still la"y as they had fallen
in the swampy stretch of pasture land
at the edge of the wood, and the arms
had been folded across the breasts ex-
ornt in the case of one man. llke tne
others he lay on hla back with his feet
toward the clump of trees, but his right
trm was stretched out beside his head,
and tbe forefingers of the half-clotsed
hand pointed upward.
The attitude made me gasp, not so
much with horror as with recollection
one of those Idle, meaningless recol-
Witons that sometime thrust them
selves into a moment of intense nerv
ous strain. AVhat came to me across
more than 30 years was a recollection
of boys lying under the shade trees
with arnw stretched out beside their
heads, and they looking up into the sky
and twisting Idly with one hand a bit
of flower or a strand of grass, or per
haps pointing lazily upward with the
forefinger.
So the dead soldier lay with finger
roititing upward like a boy in me
fields.
Search for Friend Kfnewfd.
Here I renewed my search for my
friend Rohde. Two or, three soldiers
were told off to search for him. and
young Lieutenant was assigned to
guide me. Presently the wood resound,
ed with cries of "Friedrich Rohde
Friedrich Rohde!" and a soldier shout
cd that we should go a quarter of (
mile along the edge of the forest where
it fronted the Russians, for there he
said the company lay.
Soon there was an answering halloo
to the cries of "Friedrich Rohde." and
a prodigious crackling in the under
brush. Then came a man, plunging
through the sodden growth and push
ing stray whips of branches away from
his face aa he ran.
Suddenly he caught sight of the
young Lieutenant and came to a .rigid
salute. The Lieutenant returned the
salute, smiled, and bade the man come
forward. This he did in long leaps,
jumping from one bit of dry ground to
unother to avoid the holes dug by shells
and now filled with water. One pool
with a treacherous overlay of sticks
and brush fooled him, and he sank to
his knees in water. I gave him a hand
and helped him pull himself out.
He was a tall, bronzed soldier, beard
ed, full-chested, full in the face, too
a picture of robust health and good
nature.
"Is It really you, dear Rohde?" I said.
"Tou look another man. Don't need to
ask how you are!"
"It's really I," he said, "and who
would have thought we would ever find
fach other on the front when I left
the office!"
Man's AVtaole Aspect Changed.
But the most astonishing part of the
meeting was the part Rohde could not
estimate as well as I, for here, right in
the thick of It, with dead Russians and
the dripping stretchers and the fire-
nlackened forest around him, was our
l.-indf-trum-mann, who, we had feared,
might develop tubercular symptoms
tinder the rigors of a Russian "Winter
and who. if he survived that, would,
we were sure, never see any more des-r-rate
service than garrison duty in
Vilna or Kowno.
In aspect he was no longer our lean,
flne-fibered Rohde. He had become a
stalwart. His voice was deep, his move
ments swift, his sentences crisp.
Vet this was the man who twice
after the outbreak of the war had been
snt back by the military doctors on the
ground of physical disability, and who
had been accepted at the third exam
ination only because the requirements
nsd become les rigid.
We visited excitedly together for 10
minutes, forgetting until half an hour
later at least I did most of the im
Tortant questions we should have
asked.
In parting I asked him whether I
rhould send him any food from Berlin,
"No." he said, "we have everything."
How about ioilet articles? -Got
ylenty soap and tooth paete and that
tort of thing?"'
Men Have Kverythlng deeded.
"We have everything, thanks every
thing we can manage to make room
lor."
"Want any more books or magazines
then?"
"Haven't much time to read now.
I'on't you bother."
My' last question had Indeed been
t-uperfluous for another reason than
the soldiers lack of time for reading,
for statistics Ju-st published by the
booksellers' exchange of Germany show
that during the first year of the war
more than 5.000.000 subscriptions to
newspapers and maagxines were taken
out by and for soldiers on the front.
The matter of the toilet articled and
the newspapers which my friend did
not need was typical of the thorough
ness with which all phases of the
well-being of the German army are
looked after.

LONDON. July f 24. Today' official
statement by the War Office says:
'Apart from continuous heavy shell
ing by both sides during the night, com

War Secretary Confidently Predicts
Victory in' Few Months Ex
penditures at Present Level
tc Be Continued.
LONDON, July 24 Premier Asquith
today asked the House of Commons for
a vote of credit of $2,250,000,000. This
vote will bring the total voted this
year to $5,250,000,000 and the total
since the beginning of the war to ap
proximately 14,160,000,000.
The premier said the recent expendi
ture was approximately t25.000.000
dally. All the expenditure from April
1 to last Saturday was t2.795.000.000.
Mr. Asquith said that the navy, army
and munitions cost $1,895,000,000; the
loans to Great Britain's allies, $755,000.-
000, and food, supplies, railways, etc..
$115,000,000. The average dally ex
penditure on the war, he said, was
$24,750,000.
The July total, continued the premier,
probably would be higher than that of
November and it was expected that the
present level would be maintained for
the near future. The munition expendi
ture had increased steadily and con
tinuously up to-May and in that month
and during June and July it was fairly
constant.
Prospects ef Battle Declared Good.
After a speech by Winston Spencer
Churchill, criticising Premier Asquith
for not reviewing the war situation,
David Lloyd George. Secretary for War,
replied, saying that it would be pre
mature to survey a military situation
and the prospects in the middle of
the battle.
"The prospects are good," the War
Secretary said. "Our Generals are
more than satisfied with and proud of
the valor of our men they are leading.
Great as the British infantry was In
Wellington's and Napoleon's day. they
never have been greater than now.
"One thrills with pride when one
thinks one belongs to the same race.
They are pressing back the formidable
foe who devoted his best brains to the
study of war for generations. - I feel
confident that victory Is assured to us."
Lloyd George Is Optimistic.
Continuing, Mr. Lloyd George said:
"Numbers and all other resources are
on our side. There was one fear that
years of training and thought on the
part of a great military power might
be something that might be insuper
able. Our men demonstrated that it
Is not so and that British resourceful
ness and Intelligence are. as In fields
of commerce in the past when they
have been able to snatch victory out of
what appeared complete commercial
disaster, going to snatch victory again
in a few months from what appeared
at one moment to be something that
was Invincible.
"There is no doubt at all that the
lesson of this battle is that we have
simply to press on with all our re
sources and with the material at our
command and victory will be ours."

LONDON. July 24. A significant re
mark was made in the House of Com
mons tonight by Premier Asquith at
the conclusion of a debate on a motion
for adjournment made by John Red
mond, the Nationalist leader, after an
announcement by the Premier that the
government had no intention of intro
ducing any home-rule-for-Ireland bill
with regard to which there was no
substantial agreement among all par
ties. In appealing to the Nationalists
not to throw away the opportunity for
bringing home rule into immediate op
eration Mr. Asquith said:
"I ask the House and will ask the
country, if necessary, if the govern
ment's proposals are not fair."
Asquith Denies Partiality.
Just before the motion of Mr. Red
mond was voted down. Mr. Asquith di
rectly addressed the Nationalists, deny
ing that any partiality had been shown
to either side during the negotiations.
Mr. Asquith declared that the exclusion
of the six Ulster counties from the
operation of the home-rule act was, in
his mind, the greatest give-and-take
arrangement ever made in the history
of a political controversy, and he a-sked
the Nationalists not to break off the
negotiations.
The discussion of Mr. Redmond's
motion to adjourn the House began
with a speech by Mr. Redmond. The
Irish Nationalist leader declared that
when two months ago Premier Asquith
had returned from Ireland and an
nounced that the present system of
government had broken down and said
the Cabinet had unanimously requested
ivir. Laoya George to bring about, if
possible, a provisional settlement by
consent, he was thrilled by the hope
that the Irish question might be put
away until the war had ended.
Kedmond Outline Agreement.
.Mr. Kedmond said the agreement was
for the provisional settlement of the
question until the war was over. The
first words proposed were that the
whole bill should remain in force dur
ing the continuance of the war and for
12 months afterward, but Sir Edward
Carson objected that if Parliament took
no action during the 12 months after
the war the Bix Ulster counties should
be excluded from the operations of the
home rule act of 1914. To meet
Carson's objections. the following
words were added: "But if Parliament
has not by that time made further
and permanent provision for the gov
ernment of Ireland, the period for
which this bill shall remain in force
is to be extended by order of the coun
cil for such time as is necessary to
enable Parliament to make such pro
vision." "I was informed." declared the Na
tionalist leader, "that these words
"Saturday last Mr. Lloyd George and
the Home Secretary informed me the
Cabinet had decided to Insert In the
bill two provisions one for the per
manent exclusion of the Ulster counties
and another cutting out of the bill the
agreement for the retention of the
Irish members at Westminster during
the transitory period.
"I stand by every word In the agree
ment we came to. I will not agree to
any new proposals."
Secretary Lloyd George frankly ad
mitted that what Mr. Redmond said was
true except in one or two points. One
of these, he said, was the phraseology
concerning' the exclusion of Ulster. Mr.
Redmond interrupted by saying that
the form of the words had been care
fully considered and had been drafted
by skilled lawyers and approved by Sir
Edward Carson.
Plan In Abandoned.
The government, declared Secretary
Lloyd George, was faced with the fact
that an agreement could not be put
through without the modification he
mentioned. He understood Irish mem
bers would resist any attempt to force
the bill with these modifications. This
remark called forth loud cheering from
the Irish members.
Continuing. Mr. Lloyd George said
that if that was the Irish view, it would
be Idle for the government to Introduce
a bill bringing home rule into imme
diate operation under any conditions.

WASHINGTON', July 24. Instructions
to impress on the British and French
governments that the United States de
sires an early and complete reply to
its last note regarding interference
with neutral mailswere cabled by the
State Department to Ambassador Page
at London and Ambassador Sharp at
Paris. The step was taken; after Presi
dent Wilson and other officials had
studied the British memorandum deal
ing with specific complaints and de
ferring until the future a reply to the
American contentions regarding the
principles involved.
The official text of the memorandum,
made public by the State Department,
discloses that Great Britain "feels
obliged to disclaim responsibility" for
the specific occurrences complained of
In the American note until there has
been "opportunity of investigating in
detail." .
One of. the subjects left for consid
eration in the allies' forthcoming final
reply is the American complaint
regarding money order lists, which it
Is decl.ire-3 "involves questions of prin
ciple on which consultation between
those governments is still in progress."
In replying to the complaint regard
ing mail removed from the steamship
Med an. some of which later was lost on
the Mecklenburg, the memorandum says
that the facts set forth by the United
States "are correct, but that it Is not
made clear, though it is the fact, that
the neutral mail bags removed from
the Medan were all sent on . . .
and that 182 bags lost In the Mecklen
burg were without exception for enemy
destination.
But Pacific Coast motorists
have proved for themselves
that Zerolene, an oil made
from selected California
crude asphalt-base, gave
best results.
Now their practical experi
ence is supported by thetes
. timony of international ex
perts. Lieut. Bryan, a U.S. govern
ment expert, stated before
the American Society of
Naval Engineers, at Wash
ington, D. C: "Oils made
from the asphalt-base cru
des have shown themselves
better adapted to motor
cylinders, as far as their
carbon forming proclivi
ties are concerned than are

vania oils."

Why. then, is there so much talk by
doctors against "self-medlcatlon"? A
