that an army fights on its stomach
Adiutant General c. w. Reed has adj
dressed a letter to the local station
notifying Them to get busy and MI up
the gakery corps. General Reed says:
"In order that the training OF bak-
ers and cooks may be started at once,
Il Is requested that 100 privates
be trained as bakers and another 500
privates be trained as cooks 10 be
/ transferred to the quartermaster corps
at once"
The letter states that these men
should be, as far as possible, men who
have had some experience IN that
/ line. but that in the event that there
are not sufficient men now in the
army. possessing these qualifications,
/ Il is recommended that recruiting sta
lions be authorized to recruit the re.
quired number.
II is explained in the letter
that not only are many minor
| phvsical defects waived in this
branch of the service, but that
there is an unusual opportunity for ad
vancement in the bakery Companies. The
general concludes with the statement
that the enlistment Of these cooks anC
bakers is desired for the earliest pos
sible moment
