WINTER SUPPLIES HELD BACK

W1NIEh SOFELAhS HELD BACK
It is considered significant that no prepara-
tons are being pushed for the winterinr OF
the American forces in China. Beth the Com
mssary and ouarteImaster's departments are
ready to purchase and ship supplies for the
Chinese expeditionary force. such as would be
needful in a winter campaign. There are GER
tain supplies which would be necessary for
this contingency and certain steps which would
have to be taken, and that speedily. unless there
were strong hope that the American Army would
be out of China before the Gulf of Pc Chi Ii
freezes over. which usually happens about No
vember l. Preparations made up to a recent date
looked to the quartering Of the American force
on Chinese soil through the winter season. 1t
cannot be said that this expectation has been
entirely abandoned. but it is certain that some
of the final purchases and preparations are sUs-
pended for the present. though there were
considerable probability that they would not
have to be made at all The War Department
has as yet given no definite statement on this
subject, but the suspension of operations is con-
sidered significant.
