The United States Government is feed
ing these soldiers and allows 80 cents per
man per day for rations. The cost of the
breakfast, dinner and supper for each
man in this company was 13 IA cents and
the soldiers did their own cooking. If all
the men at Camp Black Jared so poorly
their food yesterday cost $397.5O.
Three thousand times 80 cents is Sl,l10.
Thus are fortunes made in time of war.
The men in this company were actually
hungry last night. When they enlisted
they were strong and healthy, and natur-
ally they had good appetites. Outdoor
file and the exercise of drilling has put
a sharper edge on their appetites. So
they were hungry last night after their
alleged supper, and they went TO bed
hungry for they had spent all their
money. Some declare they do not get
enough 10 eat unless they buy additional
food at the canteens. And they have
spent all their money for extra food at
the canteens. Some of them have daily
paid out more than twice the amount
they earned as soldiers.
