Hundreds of the men seemed to be choking

situation, rushed gallons of ice water and

of the recruits said there had been little

left home, but that It was quickly ex-
hausted and no further effort was made
by railroad men to replenIsh the supply,
Other coaches were overlooked entirely.
In long stretches of the trip between
stops, at which there was no opportunity

suffered from thirst. Recruits seemed 10
have accepted the situation mostly as
their inst experiences IN the fortunes OF
war and there were no complaints except
as the facts were brought out by inquiry
here, but officers are indignant over the
situation. The oversight, they SAID, had
been on the part of railroad officials and
declared steps will be taken by military
authorities TO see that IT docs not happen
again.

any source to confirm this, as Secretary
Baker refused abolutcly to discuss any
phase OF the question.

presented
Although Secretary Baker would not

To overcome these distressing condi-

Clothes From Peat.

A very interesting and economical
ly valuable invention, in the field of
substitute materials" has recently
seen the light in Sweden. A process
has now been perfected there for the
manufacture of a strong textile ma
terial from peat fiber. The inventor
began to study this process 20 years
ago, but, so far, his methods were ham,
pered by the drawback that the pro-
cess of manufacture was much too
costly; he was therefore unable to
turn his idea to any practical use. In
duced by the war, however, he resumed
his experiments, and has now at last
succeeded in making dress material
from peat on a large scale. These
peat fabrics are somewhat cheaper
than those of artificial WOOL and they
are said to be of great durability. A
factory for the working Of the process
wholesale is about to be erected.
