the Peru, is on his way to Washington
with official reports. His home is in

in an interviews:
1T is probable that in the future the
| government will have two kinds of rations
-one for troops in the temperate zone and
another for soldiers in the tropics. sup
pose that more vegetables and meat with
practically no fat will be provided for men
on military duty in the Philippines saw
message of complaint filed by the Col
orado regiment. The fault is not with the
| government nor with the commissary. 1t
is with the company cooks and the COM
pany officers. There is never any COM
| plant from the regulars. They know how
| to husband their rations. They even save
sufficient to create quite company sur
