WHO ARE THE HUNS?

106 German Treatment of Prisoners and Wounded.
made against the German doctors have not been confirmed in
a single instance. On the contrary it was the German physicians
who were forced to cleanse the Augean stables of French mismanagement.
The same thing applies to the English military leadership,
and its accusations against the Germans. A peculiar light is

"The King yesterday inspected a contrivance which has
been invented for supplying warm drinks to the troops at the front,
and expressed his complete satisfaction with what he had seen.
The contrivance in question is a motor field kitchen which
is to be sent to the French theatre of war as soon as possible.
The wagons rest upon a strong substructure, and have the
appearance of motor ambulances, which are designed to act
in conjunction with the Red Cross. For this reason they also
bear the sign of the Red Cross. The intention is to advance
them as far as possible to the line of trenches in order that
the soldiers who come from the firing-line there or go to it,
may be supplied with hot tea, coffee, cocoa, and beef broth.
The permanent crew of each wagon consists of a preacher
of the Salvation Army and a chauffeur. The inner equipment
has a compartment in which all the objects necessary for the
Holy Communion are kept;—a portable altar, a chalice, a
surplice and other things." (retranslation)
