CUM PLAYS
IMPORTANT PART IN
KEEPING SOLDIERS FIT
Says Northcliffe, Head of British Mis-
sion-Urges Large Quantities to be
Sent to Front-Taft Lists Chewing
Gum as Red Cross Necessity.

That American chewing gum is
playing no small part in helping to
win the war is evidenced by the many
stories from the front. where chewine
gum, once regarded as a luxury, is
now listed as a necessity by the Red
berless prominent men. including ex-
President Taft, chairman Of the CEN
trail committee of the American Ma
tional Red Gross, and Lord North
cliffe, the famous London editor, who
Is now in this country on behalf or
the British government.
Hundreds of thousands Of large
packages of chewing gun are deliver
ed daily to the various army commits
sariat departments for distribution
among h troops. Millions of men OF
every nationality who never chewed
gum before have come to regard it as
a solace In times of loneliness, stress
and suffering.
Because Of the immense relief
subjected to all the nerve.rack1ng
strain of modern warfare, the keeness
interest has been developed in this
comfort by the army medical authorf-
ties.
AS a result of their observation of
the beneficial results obtained by the
constant use of chewing gum by the
soldiers. n especially the wounded,
who are often enabled to bear terrible
wounds stoically If only they may chew
gum, the Red Cross society now lists
chewing rum as a war necessity.
In a recent important interview.
Lord Northcliffe, whose work on be-
half of he British Red Gross attract
ed worldwide attention, urged thar
chewing gum should be sent to u
lighting boys n those Of u allies.
In generous quantities. Speaking from
what he had actually seen when he
visited the various war fronts last
year, Lord Northcliffe emphasized the
Importance of chewing gum in field
hospital work and spoke In glowing
terms Of the relief it had brought
countless pain-racked men, while COST
ing their benefactors practically moth
ing Er
