ARMY
WASTE CAUSES
WAR SCANDAL
Food is Thrown Away and
Khaki Uniforms Used to
Bed Cattle Near Supply
Station.

LONDON, Sept. The vast amount
of food and equipment needlessly
wasted by the British army IL causing
much discussion and unfavorable COM
ment here and in many quarters COM
parison il made with the careful hus-
bandry Of the Germans.
Business men who have enlisted In
the new armies write home their a.
constituent and disgust ut the unscien-
tific methods employed.
The supply system works fine. they
say. never letting the men want for
anything. 1t also. they add. gives the
men from 20 to 100 per cent more
material than they need and fails to
make any provision for retaining the
unused articles or utilizing very yalu-
able products.
Uniforms Thrown Away.
Everywhere at tht front there are
,een rejected uniforms and caps lying
about the fields or put to base pur-
poses in the cottages of the peasants
Cattle bed on khaki. This material
IS worth $21.20 a ton.
Enormous numbers OF saddles are
thrown away although leather is now
almost as valuable as gold. The sit
uation as to food is worse. In some
towns the British troops quartered
there have q large surplus Of fresh
meat which they give away at the
town hall every day regularly. BY
army rules, this food must not be
saved or sold-it must be given away
or wasted.
Here is the reason for this condi-
ton. A war department regulation
has forbidden the supplying Of less
meat without a simultaneous deduc-
ton OF other food. Fewer rations can
be supplied, but not different or small
er rations. Something has been at
tempted to remedy this blunder, but
the change Is not general and the
waste Of food goes on.
Guns Are Not Collected.
In ammunition and arms 1t Is the
same story. When a man Is killed or
wounded in the trenches his rifle and
equipment are thrown aside-his com
rades do nothing to utilize them. They
lie in the mud and in a few days are
useless to any one.
There are general instructions
about saving things, but 1t is not the
specific duty of anyone and conse-
quently doesn't get done.
In the German army there Is q spec
ial body of salvagers which saved a
lot of money The French even en-
ploy a machine which converts into
valuable grease and oils ever relic of
refuse meat. ~... ..
