(Correspondent Chicago Dally News.)
Brussels, Belgium. Germany's ad
ministration of the civil affalrB of Uol
glum presenta a now plcturo of tho
German roscrvo ofllccr. .
Tho resorvo corpB- of German ofll
core always has boon tho admiration
of tho military world. No other na
tion has been nblo to call out from
civil llfo an aggregation of men so ef
ficiently trained as ofllcera for tho vast
rosorves nooded for war. But tho
military training of theso mon Is only
ono sldo of tholr qualification. In prl
vato llfo thoy nro tho learned pro
fessional mon of tho nation. Thoy aro
tho lawyors, tho physicians, tho bank
ers, tho englncors, tho directors of
big entorprlsos, tho scientists who
havo given to Germany her peculiar
Industrial ofllcloncy.
Now thoy put on tholr uniforms and
tholr Bhouldor straps and march oft to
tho front Dut there aro many things
to bo dono In war besides leading
armlOB against tho oncmy. Not tho
least of theso Is such a problem as
that of Dolglum.
Horo Is a nation, of allon race and
tonguo, bitterly hostile, with Indus
tries paralyzed another Invading
powor must not only restoro peaco
and ordor, but call back to llfo tho
crlpplod Industrial organization. No
rnoroly military organization could do
this.
And it Is horo that your resorvo of
llcor shines. Govornor Gcnoral von
Hissing had only to dorioto tho de
mands of tho work to bo dono and
ho had tho greatest oxports of Gor
mnny at his command.
Porsonnl Influence has disappeared
ontlroly. Personal gain is not oven
thought of. "Lot us do something of
which wo Bhall bo proud," said Gcn
oral von Blsslng. And ' his assistants
havo beon living up to that motto.
A cataloguo of tho -experts who
wear military uniforms while thoy
work out Bolginn civil probloms would
mako an Amorlcan governor Jealous.
Hero Is n director of tho rolchsbnnk
nt Berlin ono of tho greatest finan
ciers of aormany. Ho in a major of
tho reserves, but ho hangs his sword
on a coat rack each morning and goes
to work with a pen. Major von Lumm
Is now 'dotnllcd" as tho "gonoral com
mlsBlonor of banking" in Belgium.
H.ls first task wbb to roorganlzo tho
whole financial rcglmo of tho king
dom, found a now national bank and
Invent a now curroncy. Moro trlflos!
Then thoro Is Captain von KobboI,
who is a membor of tho Prussian
house of roprcsontntlvos and a famous
authority on municipal govornmont
and social economics. Ho Is now the
adjutant of tho military govornor of
Llego, Lleutonant Colonol von Ken
nor. As Bueh ho has worked out tho
great industrial probloms or that big,
busy city and has started thlngB to
work again. Each day ho finds a now
way of oponlng up a factory.
Probably moro interesting is cap
tain Drapo, who was dlroctor of tho
gas works of Luonoburg when tho war
broko out. Ho was wounded nt
Lloge Yfhen Antwerp was taken ho
was hurried thoro bocauso tho water
works had beon dostroyod in tho bom
bardment In fivo days ho had dug
up nn auxiliary pump in eomo fnctory
and had tho system in oporatlon again
a vital matter in a city tho slzo of
Antwerp.
Then ho wont to work on tho streot
cars of Antwerp. ln, threo dnys ho
bad them running. Tho snmo spoed
put tho gas works and tho electric
plant in oporatlon. In, 14 days ho had
10 lntorurban railroads that centor at
Antwerp at work.
A man who could wavo a magic
w
EXPERTS
wand llko that deserved a bigger field
and ho was detailed to Brussels to
tako general supervision over munici
pal, gas, electrical and street railroad
plants In tho kingdom. Incidentally,
also, ho received tho Iron cross.
With Captain Drapo thero was
sent to Antwerp Buron von Plotten
berg, a first lieutenant of reserves.
In prlvato llfo ho la managing director
of tho North Gorman Lloyd a fine
training for a man whoso duty It Is to
rovlvo tho commercial llfo of tho great
seaport of Antwerp.
And so you can go down through
tho lists nnd find export nftor expert
whoso highly technical knowledge and
whoso ability play an Important part
In this groat undertaking, but always
underneath tho uniform of an ofilcor
of tho reserves.

EATS MJS MEN
Kaiser Depends on "Goulash
Cannons" for Meals.
Intimate Picture of the Soldicr-Empen
or In the Field No Special Prep
arations of Any Kind Are
Made for Him.
NewJ York. An Intimate plcturo or
tho kaiser ln tho Hold, tho soldier
emperor whoso sharing of the llfo of
tho common soldier has united tho
humblest and tho highest ln Germany
ln love, affection and veneration, Is
given In tho following dispatch to tho
Now York Stants-Zeltung.
Tho kaiser, to whom tho "goulash
cannons," the great traveling kettles
or hot food, owo tholr existence, Is
very favorably Inclined toward this
Important now contrivanco on tho
field. Many tales aro told ln ovldonco
of this, of which the following Is ono:
A country road In France soldlera
arrive, curefully carrying dishes. Tho
dust-covered Held grays who are en
Joying their repast suddenly become
attentive On tho road thero appear
four riders oHlcers. Ono separates
from tho group and gallops over to tho
"goulash cannon."
"Havo you a bit left for us?"
"At your service, captain."
Almost Immediately tho other threo
riders gallop up. Tho kaiser! In de
lighted surprise all shout "Hurrah!"
and tho highest commander thanks
them with n smile.
"How does It taste?" ho asks. "Do
not let mo disturb you; I only want
a blto to eat, too; I am hungry."
Then he rides over to tho "goulash'
cannon," whero tho captain already
has a dish filled for him.
Ho takes It good naturedly and cats
ln tho midst of his soldiers.
"Excellent, excellent," ho snys now
and then and asks ror a second por
tion. "I am taking uwny your share,
but I will prove my gratitude"
Tho soldiers aro enthusiastic and
proud that tho kaiser took his food llko
each or them from the same "goulash
cannon" nnd "dined" ln their midst.
A roal soldier kaiser! A rousing hur
rah accompanies him when ho takes
leavo or IiIb mon with a vigorous "Good
day!"
In tho evening several geeso and
chickens were sent as "Indemnification
Tor tho noon meal" and wero eaten
with great Joy for supper.
This llttlo Incident Is characteristic
of tho attitude and llfo or tho kaiser
at tho rront, ror ho lots no opportun
ity pass to tako IiIb food from tho
"goulash cannon" when ho is visltlug
his troops along tho battlo lino. For
tills reason no arrangements aro ever
mado for the kaiser's meals on theso
trips.
"Wo will meet a 'goulash cannon,' "
ho always Bays when nsked as to what
ho wishes to order for his dinner.
This Is also a proof of tho oxcollonco
of tho food which tho troops rccelvo
from tho fiold kitchens, for tho kaiser
never announces hla arrival before
hand. No special preparations nro
mado for him. .
"I will eat what my soldiers eat,"
ho has often declared.

SOME SOUPS WITHOUT MEAT.
The purpose of a soup at the begin
ning of a meal Is mainly to prepare
tho stomach for the

How of gastric juices.

of other dishes, it
should bo prepared with
that end In view. A
crenm soup Is ono of

A puree of beans or peas Is another
satisfying soup.

tablespoonruls or flour nnd butter, add

minutes. Servo very hot with crou
tons. When you have boiled cabbage for
dinner, save the water ln which It
