Costs More to Feed
Army Mules Than
American Soldiers

Chicago, March 27.-It costs
more to feed United States army
mules and horses than ii does to
satisfy the hunger of the men them
selves
Millions of dollars-how many
millions the forage branch of the
quartermaster's corps here would
not say-have already been paid for
hay, grain and straw supplied cav
airy mounts and pack and artillery
animals since June, 1917, accord
ing to George l. Bridge, chief of the
forage branch. Mr.. Bridge joined
the nations "Sl-a-year" men to give
the advantage of his years OF ex-
perience as purchaser Of hay and
grains: He based his conclusions as
to the relative cost of feeding man
and beast on a basis of Is cents a
meal for each soldier.
To cope with the gigantic task
that the Quartermasters face in
keeping army animals well fed, a
Encouragement of the forage divi-
sion has just been effected. where
by Chicago is made the forage-pur-
chasing center for all Of America s
armed forces.
From the Philippine Islands to
the coast of Maine, from the Gulf Of
Mexico to Montreal. America is col
lecting forage for army horses and
mules" he said. Every canton
ment and military station in the
country. as we'll as all United States
Overseas forces. depend upon this
office for their hay, oats and straw.
Purchasing of forage supplies is
. much more complicated than in any
other army branch. For example
when a supply of frozen beef is
needed. it is only necessary to see
! five or six firms, because these
firms are practically the only ones
from which the beef can be obtain
ed. Consequently the purchase is
quickly effected
in the forage branch, however,
we are faced with a much more per
picking problem. Our purchases
must be made direct from dealers,
and there are thousands OF them
We pick up a carload of hay here
another somewhere else. This not
only necessitates a large volume OF
| correspondence but complicates our
work. One thing we may be proud
Of, however; there has been nc
trouble whatever in getting supplies
and there Is no shortage in this
country of the things needed in our
| department
The forage division supplies straw
for the beds of soldiers, large
amount being required for this pur.
pose alone.

FORMING ISLAND MILITIA.
Big Drive On To Secure Men fol
Philippine Guards.


Correspondence Associated Press)
Manila, Jan. pa big drive is on
here for men who will offer them
selves in any capacity to the Philip
pines militia. The passage by the
United States congress of the bill
which would permit the president to
call into federal service a division of
$1,000 Filipinos, has put new activity
into the men at the head of the Phil
ippine National Guard.
Plans have been laid for three
training camps for officers to be in
augurated at once while other plans
are afoot for the enlistment of some
10000 men needed to bring the
Philippine unit to its required
strength. That these men will be
forthcoming, without the necessity OF
CONSUMPTION, all insular government
officials believe.
Manuel Quezon, former resident
commissioner for the Philippines al
Washington, now president of the
Philippine senate, is the author OF
the insular bill which provided fol
organization of the Philippine mill
tia. He has been a moving spirit in the
agitation for support OF that body b!
the Filipino people and has been de
livering a series OF stirring addresses
calling upon the Filipinos to rally t
this organization and the support Of
the United States.
There is a growing feeling here
that the Philippine unit will not b.
used on the European front but mos
of the Filipino leaders share Mr.
Quezon's views that the insular ma
tonal guard should be used in France

American Dye Stuffs
to Fin Gap Left by
Supply From, Germany

With the announcement by the
National Aniline and Chemical Com
pany, Incorporated, that the big dye
stuff concern had started the cree
ton of a synthetic indigo plant at
Marcos Hook, Penn, the vacuum
which has existed in the American
market for synthetic indigo since
the war shut out imports of the pro-
duct from Germany bids fair TO be
a thing of the past.
The National Company. which was
reorganized last year with millions
Of dollars represented in capitaliza-
ton and plants, consists Of a COM
bination of what formerly were sew
eral big Independent plants, which
in the aggregate produce everything
in the dyestuff line from basic raw
ingredients to finished colors.
TIL National. along with the Du
Pont powder concern, which is pre-
pairing for after-the-wa changes,
by starting to manufacture dyestuffs
are recognized in domestic color
circles as the two chief factors relied
upon to make this country indepen-
dent of Germany in the matter of
dyestuffs when peace returns. While
the National is turning out the more
essential dyes needed by the Amer
lean textile industry, and gradually
bringing out some of the more COM
plicated colors, the manufacture in
this country Of synthetic indigo, of
which vast quantities are required
in the United States, has been on a
comparatively small scale by a sin
gle concern located in Michigan.
Prior to the outbreak Of the Europ-
can war practically all of the syn
from the Rhine section of Germany
The National Aniline and Chemi-
cal Company, Incorporated, in its
announcement of its intention to
forthwith add to it's activities by
producing synthetic indigo, said:
This plant is intended to cover
at least half the requirements Of the
United States. Much of the equip.
ment is now on the ground and 1t is
in course Of erection. The buildings
are now mainly completed. A few
months hence it should be possible
to undertake contracts for specific
deliveries The development OF this
important chemical industry has
been co-ordinated under the direc.
ton of Dr. E. S. Johnson of the Sem

WHEAT ACREAGE INCREASED.
Record Spring Planting Season As.
sured-Winter Grain Far
Advanced,

Chicago, March 27.-Favorable
weather until harvesting time will
give the world 15,0G0,00U more
acres of United States wheat than
last year, grain experts predicted to-
night.
With the yield depending on this
factor, they nevertheless forecast
the largest crop the country has
produced. A record breaking spring
wheat planting is assured.
Abnormally high prices of sub
stitutes have not turned farmers
from wheat Combined with pat
riotism, the guaranteed price on
price of substitutes has brought a
fullhearted answer to the call of de-
mocracy's hosts for more wheat.
Excepting Texas. Oklahoma and
western Kansas, where there has
been serious drouth, wheat passed
through the winter in very satisfac-
tory manner" B. w. Snow, widely
known grain expert, declared here
tonight. Most every section that
grows winter wheat increased the
acreage, altogether 100000 over
last years harvest.
Reports gathered tonight from
the winter wheat sections showed
the following:
Illinois has per cent increase
over last years planting of 1854
745 acrcs. The average yield of IS
bushels an acre is expected. The
spring crop is expected to show up
even better Kansas farmers have
sown 100000 acres, the second
largest in the states history. Much
failed to terminate recently on ac-
count Of drouth, but total yield OF
more than 100,000,0O0 bushels is
expected
Winter wheat in Nebraska is spot
! ted, but on the whole came through
with 80 per cent yield practically
assured. The acreage OF 900,
while not up to normal is greater
than last year. The normal spring
wheat crop Of 100000 will be raised
| to nearly 100000 according to pres
ent rlans.
Protected by heavy blanket oil
snow This winter the crop Is said tc
be of much better quality than fol
years past. az 49,
