EMERGENCY RATION TESTS
Latest Experiment Said TO Have
Been Unsuccessful
Last Trials TO BE Made with Fun
Troop of Cavalry Early
Next Month.

WICHITA, Kan, Nov. 22.-Captain
Fountain and Captain Foster returned to
Fort Reno yesterday afternoon, after ten
days absence, during which they tested
an emergency ration compounded at Pas
sale, n. J. Captain Foster says no report
will be made until the return of the next
detachment which VIII take out supply
of an emergency ration made by & Chicago
packing company.
In an interview one of the enlisted men
of the detachment which has returned
says that as ration it is not as good as
that tested last mOE>h- It is seasoned too
highly to make it palatable for any length
Of time. The tea ration that gees with it
is all right for few meals, but it does
not compare at all with the chocolate ra-
tion which was abandoned on this test.
The weather was incIement part of the
seven days, but not to such an extent as
to cause great discomfort among the
twenty-five troopers who composed the
detachment.
Members of the Army board were eau
tious in expressing opinions as TO the
value of the ration 1t is known, however
that the men showed marked falling OF
in weight, that their temperature varied
greatly, and that the ration did not wholly
satisfy their hunger.
The fourth and final experiment viii be
undertaken about December I. A full
troop OF cavalry, consisting of fifty men
from Fort Reno and fifty men from Fort
Sill will be used The board will expert
ment with one of the three rations that
have given the greatest satisfaction and
will devote weeks time to the expert
ment
