Unmilitary Phases of War 



German soldiers pulling down 

 a tall chimney which had 

 been partially shot away dur- 

 ing the bombardment of a 

 town in Russian Poland. The 

 ruins of war are now treated 

 as any other ruins 

 are handled in 

 peaceful commun- 

 ities everywhere 



Austrian soldiers 

 aiding Russian 

 peasants behind the 

 lines in gathering 

 their harvest. By 

 means of these har- 

 vests, the Austro- 

 German forces are 

 able to keep well 

 supplied with food 

 material. The two 

 million Russian 

 prisoners are prob- 

 ably being used to 

 maintain the econ- 

 omic strength of 

 both Germany and 

 Austria. TheFrench 

 and English prison- 

 ers are not used for 

 this work so much 

 as their allies from 

 the East

timbers for the German soldiers. The trenches were only a short distance from the French 



town shown in the illustration, on the right, so the Germans laid underground pipes from 



the water supply system of the town, and thus piped fresh water into their trenches
