BAKING FOR ARMY
IS HUGE TASK

American Advance Zone, Franct
Oct. r. Correspondence of The AS
sociated PresS)-Bread for the Yam
kee soldier in France is baked, not
in the dainty one-pound loves used
at home. but in loaves that weigh
twelve pounds each. They are so big
as to be inconvenient and the size
now is being changed to uniform
square loaf OF four pounds.
All the baking is on huge scale.
Asked for the recipe by which Am
erican bread has attained its SUI
periority among all the allied armies,
the chief baker gave it as follows
Flour 100 pounds; sugar, salt,
Yeast. lard and water. So pounds :;
total 2l6 pounds. He did not define
the amount OF the various ingredl-
ents, possibly from fear OF giving
information to the bakers OF the
German army.
The huge quantities OF dough al
ways OH hand aging or rising un-
tCl llC iiliuciIC VI iIt yeast looh
like giant battery OF snowballs.
Each dough is huge mass weigh
ing 4S0 pounds which two men han
die with difficulty. Over it the SOL
diers bend naked to the waist,
kneeding and mixing. Then the huge
mass rolls along to the next table,
where it is drawn into long thick
strings, which the soldiers deftly
chop off in 12-pound loaves, never
varying an ounce, ready for the
ovens.
Only One Standard.
There is but one standard of army
bread, for officers and men alike.
and General Pershing eats exactly
the same kind of 4-pound loaf as
the soldier in the ranks. In fact, the
American army bread is so superior
to the civilian bread commonly on
sale in France, that it is regarded as
a great luxury, officers and men are
besieged by civilians to get them
some OF the fine, white American
bread, and American officers at ho-
tells are the envy OF other guests
for the army bread they are able to
eat.
1t was suggested to the head
baker that tradition gave women
the first place as bread makers, and
he was asked if women could not be
utilized in making this army bread,
thus relieving 1000 men for serv-
ice on the fighting lines.
Women wouldn't last one day in
this kind of hard work" he said
This is bread making by the ton,
and by millions of loaves, and 1t
takes physical strength to handle
the huge quantities of material. 1t
would be impossible for women and
it is the hardest kind OF work for
men,"
AT the ovens a baking had just
started. There are seven of these
bakings each day, and seven each
night. for the work goes on night
and day, with two shifts OF men. one
going at 8 4. m. and the other at
p. m. There are 20 companies. and
each company OF 100 men has Is ov-
ems. Each baking takes about an
hour and IS minutes. which yields
an average oil II bakings through |

Evidence of Friction
There are evidences OF friction be-
tween the military authorities and
the soldiers and workmen'S council
in many towns in northern Germany,
the authority OF the latter being
questioned 1t is reported that civil
administration have been provision
ally organized where there is any
danger of a conflict between parties.
British forces reached Mons, Bel
GUM before the hour OF the cessa-
ton of hostilities. This evidently has
sentimental interest for all British
subjects. for it was there that KIT
chener's contemplate army had its
first real baptism of fire in 1914. The
Americans closed the campaign in
France by capturing the village OF
Stenay.
1t is announced that, by supple
mentary declaration to the armistice,
it was agreed by Germany that in
case the vessels stipulated in the
armistice were not turned over III
the specified time to the allied
powers. the island OF Helgoland
might be occupied as an advance
base to enable them to enforce the
terms OF the agreement.
When Last Shot Was Fired
When the last shot was fired, the
allied battle line from the Dutch
border to Switzerland was, approx
imately. as follows: The frontier OF
Holland north OF Selzaete to Ghent
to east OF Aydenarde to Grammont
to East of Mons to east OF Mau-
beuge and thence east OF the Fran
co-Belgian border TO north OF Ro-
croi. Thence the line was along the
Meuse to Mezieres to Sedan and
across the river in the region OF
Stenav. Thence southeastward south
of Montmedy and northeast OF Yer
dun to the Moselle near Pagny
northeast of Mont-a- a-Mousson. The
line then paralleled the Lorraine
frontier to west of Markirch where
it entered Alsace, then it ran
southwark to Switzerland on line
about twenty miles west of the
Rhine. France had been entirely
cleared OF the invaders, except for
the narrow strip OF territory from
the Meuse to Alsace,

Anomalous Conditions Of JobIess Men
and ManIess Jobs to Be Overcome, at
Least in Part-order Brings Force
Of $4,000 Postal Men Into New Lines
Of Endeavor-System Explained.
by E. G. Dougherty.l

Washington, March 16.-Through the
joint action Of the department of labor
and the postoffice department, $4,000
local employment agencies were set in
motion this week to deal with the farm
labor problem. This immense force of
employment agents has been created
by the simple device of notifying all
rural mail carriers and third and
fourth class pastmasters that they
are henceforth farm labor agents as
we'll as postal employees. They are to
act directly as local labor exchanges
and indirectly in a wider field by close
cooperation with the employment ser
vice OF the department of labor. The
plan has been thoroughly worked out
and is expected to be so effective that
it will dispose of the question OF unit
ing the man and the job and make pos
sible the planting OF record acreage
this spring.
The employment service in comment
ing on the new arrangement declares
that while there will be a great de-
mard for farm labor in the coming
weeks and there is a large supply OF
labor on which to draw" the means Of
bringing demand and supply together

carrier Is required to- receive applica,
tions from farmers wanting men and
from men wanting work. Thus. on ny
route the carrier will act as distrtcs
labor exchange. He also brings his
applications to the post office to which
he Is attached, and the postmaster is
required to post summary Of APP
plications for jobs and Of Jobs offered
Any Of these applications that are not
satisfied locally within three days VIII
be turned over to the nearest represen-
tative of the employment service
which is being rapidly extended, who
will then use the facilities at his COM
mand to so further afield to meet the
surplus requirements.
Thus for the first time It will be
possible on digesting and summarizing
these reports to know exactly what
the labor deficit or surplus Is in every
farming community in the United
States. and the employment service
will then be in a position to distribute
intelligently the labor supplies collect
ed at the central office throughout the
country.
Not Confined TO Farms:
Ill
scheme will absolutely eliminate the
anomaly Of simultaneous condition
OF jobless men and menless jobs SO
far as labor is available 1t will be sup
piled. and it is believed that there Is
enough to enable the farmers of the
United States to plant the largest
acreage in American agricultural his
tory. provided less attention is paid to
those crops that require laborers IN
numbers disproportionate to their food
values.
While the main purpose Of tncorpor-
ating the postnasters and rural car
riers into the employment service is
to meet the agricultural labor problem
these government employees also are
instructed to, take the applications OF
men desiring other than farm employ
ment. In this way it is hoped to cul
from every town and village in the
United States skilled mechanics tc
feed the ever growing demand for such
men from the war industries. The
more thorough the search for skilled
men the greater is the realization tina,
there are thousands and thousands o.
them hidden away in the smaller cities
and villages throughout the land. An
unsupported wealth Of skilled labor is
being revealed.
While no attempt is-made at the Of
flee OF the employment service or at the
food administration or the agricultural
department to believe the gravity OF
the farm labor problem there is no"
great confidence that taking the coun-
try as a whole labor will be provided
for every acre that can be financed.

Under no circumstances should the
SOW have any feed whatever for

She must, however, have plenty OF
water at frequent intervals. This
water must not be icy cold-that drawn
directly from the well is about the
right temperature. Commence after

creasing the feed gradually for prob
ably a week or ten days, when she
may be gotten onto full feed, condi-

quite easily prevented. Plenty OF ex-

Seed Profiteer. Warned.

The attention Of the department Of
agriculture has been called to occas-
ional high prices that are being charged
for seed corn in certain localities. The
department recognizes that the seed
corn shortage would have an adverse
effect upon the production of corn in
1918. and that the price OF seed corn
has an important bearing on the main
tenance of acreage. Emphasis has
been placed On the conservation OF an
ample supply Of seed regardless Of ex-
pense and effort to obtain it. 1t is
not the intention Of the department to
indicate as unreasonable. prices that
are necessary to provide fair return
for all efforts that have been made to
conserve seed. A fair price should
be determined by the actual service
performed in obtaining and conserv-
ing such seed.
Certain sections Of the country, par
ticularly east and south of the main
corn belt were moro favored than the
others by the fall conditions, Of 1917.
The territory including Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, northern Missouri, northern
| Missouri, northern Kansas, and all the
states north Of these suffered most
severely. Other sections Of the coun-
try apparently can provide for their
own requirements without great diff
Guilty, and therefore relatively lower
prices in those sections should prevail.
The food administration has an
nounced its intention to take such
action as may be necessary 70 prevent
speculation or profteering on the part
Of seedsmen. Upon receipt Of specific
information Of extortionate prices be-
ing charged for seeds, such cases will
be investigated and recommendation
made for such action as the conditions
require.
