AUSTRIAN OFFICERS NO LONGER BEAU BRUMJIELS (By Associated Press) iWlith the Austro-Hugarian Army on the Isonzo front, Jan. 12 Once known as a man who paid much at tention to dress and the lighter side of his profession the Austro-Hunga-rian officer has during the war be-, come a very serious individua' j The military .Beau Brummel of i Europe has been changed into a hard j soldier a man who wears the cloth of the private and takes his place in ! the tiring line with rifle and bayonet. who, when the work is done sees to it 1 that those under him get their food ; Deiore ho eats his. 'io those who know the Austro-Hun- garian officer as he appeared in times of peace, and still appears wnen away irom the front, there is something grim in this. With "his vvorkday clothing yoes a working mind At the front he is on duty constantly, and even the lucky ones who may for a time xio staff work at some head quarters consider themselves well off wnen the working day is less than xourteen hours. in one ox the Tolmein positions the Associated Press correspondent .net a Lieutenant-Colonel, acting as oatallion commander, who had been on duty almost twenty-four hours ev ery day for ten months without a sin gle leave of absence. What sleep no had had been broken every night by the ringing of the tedephone be side his bed, and by many an alarm, rle has just been given leave of ab sence for a month for recuperation There is a captain of Scotch de scent, leader of a company of Bos nians in the same sector, who has been on duty uninterruptedly for more than a year. Drilling trenches into the hard lime rock, of his position has become his passion. What the various artillery calibres of the Italians will do on the grond he holds forms wonderful tables in his Scot ch brain, and of special interest is that he has the habit of taking a shoijt 41uib liirto battle. Tis men tell remarkable stories how he uses this. Sole pastime of this captain is casting for trout in a brook under the very noses of the Italians. He was wounded twice before he came to his present position. At the various headquarters officers are met who should be home Wounds have made service in the trenches impossible for them, but they do what ever they can. With both hands to tally crippled a major works at a certain general headquarters. It is painful to see him turn over the leaves of the reports he studies. Others walk with the aid of a stick. Some lack an arm or leg. Such men, it is claimed, make the best officers for headquarters work As a rule they are recommended for their duties by special qualities, be this unusual intelligence or training in some department. An officer made unfit for field work by wounds after two years of service in the fir ing line is a good asset on any staff if he has the needed intelligence to make use of the experience he has haul To many it seems great consola tion that they are still able to be of service to the institution to which they have given life.
