w y EVENING LEPaEB PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1U14- 13 GLIMPSE FROM PAGE , OF FRENCH HISTORY IN DARK DAYS OF '71 Removal of Capital to Bor dcux Revives Memory of Country's Plight After German Conquest. By QEOHOE DUFBESNE m,.ir Corrcipondent of tho International News bur -. r sen Ice. i pAIttS, Sept. 18. Tho slttlhp of the French capital at Bordeaux during a part of the grcnt European war, nnd the transfer of the Belgian capital from BruB iels to Antwerp, brings vividly to mind the days of 1870-71, when tho French capl t,i was moved to Botdcaux. It was to Bordeaux that the sent of delegated Administration was removed early In December, 1870, when tho army cf the Lolro was beaten and tho Ger mans recaptured Orleans, from which they had been driven out a month be- ' fore. The Provisional Government, which idzcd the Administration ot France on the downfall of the Empire at Sedan remained nominally In rarls throughout ' the siege. They were called derisively by their opponents "Tho Government of I the 73 Lawyers," because of tho great preponderance of lawyers In their ranks. At first there was a truco ot parties. But that lasted less than a month. The Provisional Government were timid and lacked decision. They continually changed their minds on the pressing Question whether tho municipal elections hnuld bo held or not. Tho cxtrcrao Rc- ) publlcans-the Reds, as they were called ttsan to Indulgo in noisy demonstra tions, and though tho Government wore confirmed In their powers by tho plebi scite of October 31, their position re mained exceedingly unsatisfactory and precarious. Tho unsuccessful negotiations for an armlstico weakened them stilt further, because the peoplo of Paris little under stood the leal position. The mob rule which followed a few months later was prophesied by acute observers. A I'DEnLL' GOVERNMENT. In tho circumstances In which Franco then found herself It was In every way unfortunate Hint councils of both of the Goernment and of the military authori ties of I'arls wore subject to the clam orous pressuio of the Pat Is ciuwd. Early In September the Provisional Government had dispatched a delegation to Tours with the object of organizing resistance In the provinces. Hut they lent the wiong people. A caustic ob itrvet wrote: The Go eminent bote consists of AL Clemieux highly lespcctable person; of M. tilali-Eiznln, an eecentile who wastes much of hi' colleague's valuable time by the development of crack-brain notions, and of Adnili.il Fourlclion. An delegate oi Ministry ot the intei in r wo luivo M CAREFUL PLANNING NEEDED TO PROVIDE FOOD FOR ARMIES Success of Field Campaign Largely Depends Upon Success of Commissary Department. How nn army In tho field gets lis food from day to day Is an Inlateatltig story that Is told In the Scientific American. Tho supply train of nn Infantry dlvl filon carries two days' field nnd grain rations. In tho late nftcrnoon or at the end of a march or close of a combat the division commander directs the field trains lo move up Immediately In rear of tho troops, and Informs the command ing officers ot organizations that one day's rations havo been ordered to a designated place. An orderly Is sent to that place to conduct the wagons to Uio organization; after being unloaded they return Immediately and Join the grouped portion of tho ration action. That same night, or early the following morning, tho empty wagons nre refilled fro tho supply train, and this latter secures a renewal of Its supplies from a desig nated point nn the linn of communica tions, or Is reloaded ftom a train per taining to the line of communications, if tho dlstancu from the end of that line of the zone occupied by the troops Is so gtcat as to wan ant the use of a tiuln. There aro two methods of supplying an army tit the field: First. By consignments of supplies for warded by the service of tho lino of com munications and distributed as above briefly Indicated; and Second. By utilizing thcicsouiccs of tho country. It Is generally necessary to utilize to tho fullest extent the food, especially the forage, available In the thcatie of oper ations. In former times the Invader pos sessed the right of booty and pillage, the resott to which was most unfortunate for the army, ns It embittered the. popu lation and compromised the safety of the troops In un enom's coutitiy, and In the event of uny real or Imaginary In Jury being done them, it gnve il.se to re dicss and lcpiisals. These evils wcic In ii mcnsuio lemedled by not taking di rectly fiom prlvnte Individuals, but by making upon tho civil olllclals ceitnln demands called leoulsltlons for n speci fied quantity of supplies necessary for the tioops. The local authorities could apportion the demand among the Inhab itants, according to the known means of cncli, or could ptocuie tho stores by pui chaso. The former practice ot .spoliation thus assumed the milder foim of a war tnv. This eventually led to the piactlco of giving iccclpts for the stotes dellv eicd. lit older to assuie tho continuity of the him vice of supply, that Is to say, the trlatlon between tho Hoops In tilt- Held nnd the centies or production In ienr or the ium, the work pel formed by the ad ministrative departments is divided Into tlneo distinct .sphotcs of action, viz..

The aeroplane has Introduced a new arid confusing element Into the art of war, for Its rapid development has made It one of the best means for obtaining Informa tion concerning an enemy! nnd not only can they be used for dropping bombs within tho cncmy'fl -lines, but the big airships are even provided with tapld firc guns. How It Is proposed to meet these new forces Is told In the following extract from tho special war number ot the Scientific American of September C There aro two means of combating a flying machine. Many military students contend that the way to destroy an aero plane Is to put a machine rifle In another aeroplane and attempt to combat it In the air. This will probably be the method followed lit a modern war at the present time. Another means Is to provldo field artillery guns able to fire hi the air, and many balloon guns of this type have been tried out by various countries. One notable cannon of this type is tho Deport field gun, which Is so arranged that It can be used as a field artillery gun for low targets, but may be trained for aerial targets as well. There are a number of dltlloultles con nected with firing against balloons or aeroplanes, and extensive cxpeilments havo been earned on in various countries for the purpose of solving this problem. The lurgo ordnance manufacturing con cerns of the Krupp nnd Khrhardt com panies, In Germany, have designed and manufactured guns tiring three-Inch pro jection mounted on automobiles or on wheels; but so fnr no definite conclusions have lenlly been reached as to the most effective manner of firing nt balloons. DIlTICt'Ir TARGETS. Among the difficulties experienced Is the fact that the aeroplanes move very rapidly, making it dimcult to follow them tluough tlie sights of the gun. Another difficulty to bo encountered is the fact that the required angle of departure for a piojectlle to leach a ceitnln range va ries as tlie target moves nbovo the horl son. For Instance, a target on tho snme level with the gnu at MHO yards range may require an afglo of depniture of 11 degrees; while if this target should bo located 45 degrees above the horizontal the supcr-elevatlon, which is tho eleva tion of tho sun above the lino drawn fiom tho gun to the tnrget, would be only 4 or D degrees. If tho aeroplane should be the same distance, hut vertically above the gun, ijo elevation over the di rection of the line of sight would bo nec essary, it Is also a difficult mattei to estimate the distance to these balloons, nnd the use of range-finding Instruments, due to the iapld movement of the targets, Is nt nines almost impossible. In some cases'- experiments have been carried on with a view of filing projectiles with burning tiacers attached to them. These tracers. by burning In tho nlr, will show tho pathv oi toe piojectue, and win show how close the projectile may bo to tho target. That lifies or small guns can be filed from aeroplanes has been dcmonstinted. While these guns would probably not bo veiy effective against troops on the gioiind, there is small doubt that bombs dropped from balloons would be a voryv dangerous inconvenience for the enemy. Tin: AIR SCOUTS. .Scouting by alrslilp is a now featuie in tho war game, and the effects of the In formation derived by this means in tlie conduct of cnmpalgna will bo ongerlv studied as lllustiated by the maneitveis the war in IJuroDo. Hecnus 1 e lm.s In alrciaft at his disposal a modern general will be moio apt to await the icsults of their leconnolterlng befoie giving final oiders. Tn other words, tlieio ougnt to be fewer counter oiders lr picseiu I'uro peau engagements than duilnc the Fianco-Prusslnn War. There Is too bU a link of moving troops in the u-ions di leetlon. It Is estimated that within 2s liouis a general may expect an all lepoit of his Ioc'h strength, position and movements if he i.s within a radius of M) miles, ir cnvnli.v alone were used for the amo pui pose probably three days, would ue re quited, and tho information cullected would not bo so piccise. Three and one half houis is not too long to wait Ixfoie giving u definite order which may lesult In victory or defeat. nmiaiBhu an enigma. While tho aeroplane has proved its unt il J both in the Motocco and Balkan cam paigns the dirigible Is still a military enigma. The opei.itinns of Hmupean ni tales dining their annual maii'-uvoia aro shrouded in a veil of seciecy as dense ni If tlie foice vvcio engaged In ie.il iwu.

The 'Zeppelin built In 190! had a volume of I3tf.ou0 vuolo lett, that of Hill. 627,000 cubic feet; the first naval ciaft vvreiked off Heligoland. TTO.i'OO cubic feet, und the second nuvul Eeppelln, "I, 2," KO.OOO cubic feet. Still larger vessels aio In course of construc tion. Spied has incieafcil coriespond iugly from &5 miles an hour in ISM, to 52 miles an Hour in WIS, and over 0 miles an hour In 1913. Tho veiy latest type has an average speed of about to miles an hour, and has niadn as much an 94 miles with the wind. In other woids, the latest Zeppelins compare favoiably in speed vltn the fastebt army aeroplanes. WICKED ELEPHANT, FOR YEARS IN CHAINS, HAS BECOME GENTLE "Bold, Bad Gunda," Who Once Had Murderous Dis position, Shows Evidence of Change of Heart. NEW YOntC, Sopt. H.-Gunda, the bold, bad Indian elephant of the Bronx Zoo, which for two years past has been chained III his cage by one hind foot and one front foot, unable lo move ex cept for a swaying motion of the body, has bocn given some mensuie of freedom. Not yet Is he allowed to have free run of the Inclosurc outside Ills quarters, but a heavy wire cable, some CO feet long, has been run from the fence around his pen lo the cage Inside of the house, and Gunda's only remaining chain, on his right foie foot, Is attached to a ring which runs along the cable. So the big elephant has liberty of movement for a space some 50 feet long and eight or ten feet wide. Gunda was tied up oiiglnally because of murdcious attacks which neatly cost the life of Walter Thuinan, one of his keepers. Iln was vicious, said tho Zoo officials, and must be kept tied up as a measure of necessary precaution. In a statement Issued by the Executive Com mittee of the New York Zoological So ciety on August 7, It Is said that "even If he were turned loose today he would not move about for the purpose of real exercise, but he would movo for tho purpose or Injuilng his keeper ot a Visitor." EVIL. TOHEBODINGS FNltEALIZED. B.ut this pessimistic fotebodlng, so un generously antlclpattve lu Its view of the elephant character, has not been realized. Dick Richards, who with Thu man, chapcrones the elephants, rhi noceroses and hippopotamuses of the Zoo, said that while the transfer was being made Gunda was extremely docile, and that slnco then he has behaved with un exampled mildness. In fact. It seems that the big elephant has att. lined a position something like that of a tiusty in a prison, and he has dono It by good behavior, it was during "musth," the season of excitement, that he made tho attack on Thuman which resulted In his being tied up. When the friends of thn elophant bc to clamoi for IiIh lelease eaily this summer tlie Zoo officials explained tluit the senson was on again. But it wa.s resolved at tlint time, it Is said, to watch him and see how he behaved when the period ot musth was over. It ended about a month ago, nnd since then Gunda hns behaved so meekly and so piously that It Is believed he has oxpcilenced n change ot hentt. CHANGi; OF HEART EVIDENT. Tho matter came to a head last Mon day, when Colonel Alfred Wagstaff, the president, and William K. Ilorton, tlie manager of, the Soolcty for the I'te vcntlon of Ciuelty lo Animals, who have been working 111 Gmicla'j behalf evei since attention was flist called to the elephant's plight, paid a visit to Di. William T. llornadiiv, dlrectoi of the Zoo, who told them that a gieat change had come over Uundn and that he was much milder than lie used to be, and finally agreed to take a chance by giving thn elephant a tneasuie of libel ty. The chance was taken, nnd Gunda. has done Ms best to piove himself vvoithy of it and to show his gratitude. Gunda, as his keepeis hnd deel.ued be foie ho was put on the cable, is rather a homekeepliij soil of person. Whethei he naturally dislikes enclse or is at tached to the comfoits of his own hearthstone, he spends most of the trine In tlie cngo wlieiu lie had been chained for the last two years. Peihaps his lnnc. captivity has bred ' dltndent.e and un willingness to venture back into the unfamiliar surroundings of the wot Id outside, perhaps it Is mere laziness. It Is only at Intervals that ho stiolls, slow ly along the cable. Punishment appears to have had In his case the much-deslied reformatory Influence, and the pnioled captive, chastened bv his mlsfoi tuncF, now stands beside his cable and gn7cs with contemplative benevolence at tlie crowds. The pioent move. It is said. I- onlv nn oxnetlment, but so fai It fi ems to have been Justified, nnd should the ele phant's temper continue to Improve it may bo that ho will got moie llbcity in due time. And, at any late, his condition now Is very nearly all that his best fi lends havo over asked. HOD AND GUN ?",,'u. ii V-', ii os as u vj 41 4J ii .. i '7i-- i -SS Si w w w f T. J I Z1:'' .'

MAYOR BLANKENBUHG RESTING RAILROADS URGED TO ADOPT GREATER EFFICIENCY PLANS Roadmasters of Country Want Motor-driven Ma chinery to Supplant Old Hand Methods Say Sav ing Will Be Large. Larger application by the lalhoads of the, country of scientific efficiency piln clplca in their equipment departments Is being strongly urged by the Itoadmasters' and Maintenance of Way Association of America. Statistics compiled by the association show that while the weight ot tracks used by railroads throughout the United States has Increased but 37 per cent, in the laat 20 years, the unit load hauled over tho tracks has lu some cases Increased more than COO per cent. Increase In the weight of track has necessarily called for the employment of more men to care for the track under the heavy loads which It Is lequlied to carry, i The association recommends that motor driven machlneiy and tools be used by the railroads so that a larger amount of ground can be coveied and better caro given tho maintenance ot tracks. Toward the Increase In efficiency, use of section motorcars Is constdeied an Im portant part. It Is pointed out that where motor driven machinery Is used It will result In a saving of 2 cents a mile, the cost of fuel to the motorcars, repairs, de preciation and wear of car and time ot tho men. In view of this It I.s lccom mended by a committee. leportlng to the association that motor driven cars be used Instead of handcats.

The difficulty un der which correspondents of Ameilcan nowspapeia are woiklng In tulng to send reports of the war by cable Is well told In tho following letter, wiitten by the London correspondent of a big New Vork dally, and pllnted lu the Times. "I have read with much pleasuie in the Times this morning the leading article headed 'The Judgment of America.' I have the honor to represent In London n fa mou.s New York nevvspapei. the news service of which appears lu a very largo number of Important newspapcts through out the United States, Canada, the West Indies and South Amcilca.

We have discovered, bv the costly process of experiment, that neither Intittet which appears In the Loudon newspapers after passing the censor nor even the official announcements of the press bureau aio necessoilly available for publication in Ameilca. "Wo cannot find out fiom the cable companies whether our messages have been sent oi not.
