RATIONS.
Troop b. First Cavalry, Out to See
whether They Are SUFFICIENT.

whether They Are suhncient.
WASHINGTON. May ls.-Troop B OF
the First United States cavalry has
been marching through the Wichita
mountains for a week, to see whether
soldiers can live on 30 ounces of food a
day. Last December the war depart
ment adopted an emergency ration
that is, q ration to be used only in case
of a shortage Of food, or on forced,
quick marches. when every possible
hindrance is left behind.
This ration was adopted by a board
OF officers. 1t consists of bacon, 10
ounces hard bread, IS ounces; pea
meal, 4 ounces Tor al equivalent in ap-
propriate material for making SOUP
sacaharine, 4 grains; salt, GA. 100 Of an
pepper, 4-l0 of an ounce tobac-
co, y ounce. 1t will be seen that the
actual food, hat is, bacon. bread, meal
and coffee, amounts to 80 ounces.
In order to test this allowance, Cap
tain w. {. Brown, who was a member
of the ration board. marched his troop
of cavalry out Of Fort Sill, /. T., a
week ago, with nothing to eat but
emergency rotions for 10 days. The
orders were to march due west from
Fort Sill for five days and then march
back again. Captain Brown has not
been heard from since the march be-
gan, but is expected to return to Fort
Sill with his hungry troopers by
Wednesday.
Major Charles Smart, a surgeon who
was sent from Washington to accom-
pany the troop, will then report to the
secretary of war how the men stood the
scanty allowance. The question Of
using tobacco was considered for some
time. 1t is true that tobacco 10 not
food. but it used so generally by sol.
diers that they would rather be do.
prived of food than lose it. Moreover,
those habituated to its use suffer
acutely without it. While soldiers
who use tobacco usually endeavor to
provide themselves with it., wnen they
are on forced marches, they might
sometimes be without it. Therefore it
was put in the ration
