nations on duty in China and to
especially observe how the American
troops compared with those of the
other nations.
Captain Franklin in his report de-
clares that the American soldier was
the best fed and best cared for of all
the allied army, and was the best al
round fighting man. The soldier re-
quired and received better food than
the soldier of any other army, fact
which astonished European military
officers. When British officer, who
had observed the quality and quan-
tity of supplies issued to the Ameri-
can soldier, inquired how often the
excellent bacon that was issued was
given the men, was informed they
could have it three times if they de-
sired, he was incredulous. But,
while our supplies Of every descrip-
ton were more generous in quantity
and superior in quality than those OF
other nations, they were not packed
with the same care to insure safe
transportation and ready handling.
In this particular the British and
Japenese were in advance Of the
others. With the Japanese few pack
ages exceeded in weight 100 pounds
and were arranged to fit the coolie
labor. Considerable quantities OF
fcod were lost by the Americans in
transit because CT weight Of the
packages, which was 600 pounds
These were difficult to handle and in
consequence were liable to accident
and breaksge, with inevitable loss by
theft. 10 the British army the
weight Of packages was limited to
l6O pounds for pack animals, which
enabled them to be moved easily and
rapidly. Except generous supply
of ammunition, the Russians did not
seem to have any stores to move
Most of the supplies for the French
army were purchased in the east, for
the reason that they were dispatched
hurriedly from France. Their com
missaries, therefore, could not be
compared with that Of the United
States.
The Germans were handicapped
with big packages, and in that re-
spect were as bad as the United
States. In addition to bulk, the
packages were sufficient in strength,
leading to breakage and consequent
loss.
In addition to rice, bread, dried
fish and tea, the Japanese ration was
varied with beef and mutton. The
Silkbs used only mutton or goat, 'Hut
the Mohammadans ate everything,
except pork. The Russians seemed
to have no commissary, and practlc-
ally lived on black bread and soup
made of every and anything, yet
they thrived and were apparently
contented. The Russians, however,
had cooking arrangements superior
to the others. Upon springless
carriage was mounted an iron fur
mace under boiler with a water
Jacket Into this boiler the Russians
put everything in the way Of material
for soup that came into their posses
sion. The cover was then screwed
dowr, the fire lighted and the per-
ambulating caldron was sent after
it's company. When camp was
made, all the men had to do was to
stack their arms ard march past the

been made of equal parts OF bran,

Blood Poison

There is no poison so highly contagious,
so deceptive and so destructive. Don't be
