FEEDING A GREAT ARMY.
How $4,000 British Troops Are Looked
After During EvOlutions in
the Field.

An army twice as large as any the
United States has put In the field in
the war with Spain is now maneuyer-
ing in Great Britain.
The men have held drills ant
marches covering considerable ground
have marched back and forth at long
distance from the railroad, but it is
not stated that any of the soldiers
have had to go without food for q
hours, as men have done in perma
nent camp not 120 miles from New
York.
The big show battle will occupy thu
entire force of $4,000 men. The pre-
liminary skirmishing has given the
supply trains practice in feeding thu
Tommies. Contractors will furnish
supplies other than bread, meat, fue
and forage, which are provided BY
army officers.
Four thousand draught horses and
1900 wagons will be occupied in rush
ing supplies where they are mos'
needed.
The exact load of each wagon ani
the method of packing it is prescribed
by the war department. Supplies must
always be two days in advance of thu
need, and officers will see that thi,
precaution is observed.
At every camp, though it may bt
pitched for no more than a single
night, there will be canteens at which
groceries, timed provisions and a null
titude of small Injuries may be pur
chased by men individually or drawn
upon by ''induct" from officers.
Our friend, Sir Thomas Upton, Of
tea and boat-race fame, has this con
| tract.
For every regiment or battalion Of
detached unit, occupying separate
camp, the contractors are to set NJ
three marques, one fitted as can
teen for the sale of beer, mineral wa
tiers and tobacco, with barmeD in at
tendance; one for groceries and othel
supplies, and third for the use O
warrant officers and sergeants.
| At each of the divisional camping
grounds the contractors will ais,
| pitch and furnish a similar marques
to be used as temperance tent. Strin
gent conditions are made for insurin,
the quality of articles sold at thes
depots.
This is soldering with some degre,
of comfort, is it not Pm. Y. World.
