Tne observer saw six black cylin-
ders drop spinning FROM the front ma
chine, and then, with his two reins
round the pilots arms in front, he
steered the machine to the right and
left as he watched the destroyer
through the wires and bars of his
bomb sight. Even as he was direct
ing the machine he saw the great
white clouds of steam, smoke and wa
ter leap up from the sea near the de-
stroyer.
The second destroyer, which was
now steering an almost direct course,
appeared below his range bars. He
turned the pilot slightly to the right
in order that he might allow for the
speed of the boat, and slowly pushed
over his bomb levers, one by one. Be
low the wings he had momentary
glimpse of the yellow, fsh-like bombs
rushing downward. He shouted to the
pilot, and they turned quickly away
from the inferno Of shells which were
bursting all around them.
Scores Direct Hit.
The observer stood up and watched
intently what was going on below.
Near the destroyers appeared the
white smoke and spray of a bomb.
Another followed, and another. Then
on one of the destroyers great red
flash appeared and the center Of the
boat was left clouded in smoke. He
had scored one direct hit. He shouted
excitedly to the pilot as one Of the
destroyers dropped out of line and
made swiftly for its mortally wounded
consort.
The British airplanes returned and
reported what had happened. A pa
troll returning a few hours later stat
ed that they had seen five German de-
stroyers returning toward Ostend. BY
then the sixth, torn and shattered, lay
with many another twisted and rusty
companion, under the sea.

Army coffee is roasted at the rat

Army coffee is roasted at the rate
of 10000 pounds day, and it takes
10000 pounds of solidified alcohol to
cook this coffee through the month.
The beef is the .bulkiest product
used each day, and occupies a daily
space of $4,000 cubic feet, or about
the dimensions of business block, OF
solid meat. Flour comes next, requir-
ing 25,OOO cubic feet of daily space,
and potatoes about the same.
A Few Daily Items.
These are only a few of the main
items. But the list runs all through
the many requirements Of the over
sea army ration, with vast quantities
in each case. Here are some of the
other daily items: Bacon, 225,OO0
pounds; beans, $4,000 pounds; rice,
$4,000 pounds; onions, 250,000 pounds
evaporated fruit, 10000 pounds; jam,
10000 pounds; milk, $500 pounds
vinegar, 10000 pounds; lard, 10000
pounds; butter, $1,000 pounds; syrup,
10000 pounds.
These being included in the over
sea ration, every one of the million
men is entitled to his full allowance,
and it must go forward to him wher-
ever he is. So that besides the vast
daily stock there is the question OF
unfailing daily delivery, first by rail-
ways and cannon trains, and then to
the individual soldier.
Besides this 100000 pounds Of food
moving forward daily to the troops,
each man carries with him two days
emergency ration, 5 pounds to the man,
an additional 100000 pounds of food
for an army of a million men. OF the
emergency ration, carried on the back
there is outstanding every day 2,O0O,-
300 pounds of corned beef and 2,OOO,-
900 pounds of hardtack, 100000 pounds
of sugar, 62,5o0 pounds of coffee, 20,-
900 pounds of salt, and 100000 pounds
of solidifed alcohol for heating and
cooking while on march.

VAST STOCK In RESERVE

Iiveries Made.

Tours.-The American army in Eu-
rope could be fed and clothed and all
it's creature comforts looked after for
three months if not another pound of
supplies was secured. This was the
statement made here by officers of the
army quartermaster's department.
which directs this mammoth work of
supplies.
It gives an idea Of the vast stock
of reserve resources stored in the
miles of warehouses stretching from
the coast inland to the fighting line,
and it is a comforting assurance, too,
that this huge reserve will be kept
up through the coming winter period,
so that the American soldiers warmth,
as well as his food and clothing, Will
be fully looked after.
Some Big job.
It is a huge undertaking to feed a
million men even for single day-a
million men scattered to a thousand
points, in trenches, on battlefelds and

a depth of 500 miles. And when are
added housing and clothing and the
period is extended through the VIM
ter months of cold and frost, with the
prospect that another million or two
of men may be headed this way before
long-with these elements one gets
some idea of the magnitude Of the
supply problem for a million or more
men.
Here at the center Of the system,
where the receipts are regulated and
the distribution made, there was an
opportunity Of learning some Of the
details of how the system operates.
In the food branch alone it takes
over 100000 pounds Of food every
day to feed the army. This prodi-
gious daily consumption Of food en-
braces 1000 pounds Of flour baked
into a million pounds Of bread every
day, $4,000 pounds of fresh beef,
$4,000 pounds Of potatoes, 100000
pounds of sugar and 125,0O0 pounds OF
tomatoes. The pepper and salt for a
single day is 1880 pounds.

yolve lazily, as they always do when
seen from another machine. The OBJ
server continually scanned the air
above and below the machine, and ex-
amined every now and then the sur
face of the sea.
Suddenly the front machine turned
to the right and began to fly toward
the coast. It's occupants had evidently

ing below, the observer of the back
machine saw a few miles from the
Zeebrugge mole six little shapes which
seemed stationary on the gray sea.
German Destroyers.
They were German destroyers which
were in reality steaming at top speed
toward the coast. Gradually the air
planes drew nearer and nearer and
soon were but a few miles from the
land.
Near the front machine appeared 8
small black ball of smoke. Another
appeared, and another, and the OBJ
server could hear the sharp crack OF
the bursting shells. A moment later
the second machine entered the zone
of bursting shells, some leaving white
smoke, and others leaving black OF

coast line he could see the little rec
flashes of the anti-aircraft batteries

Washington.-Box-toed shoes, felt
heel pads and felt inner soles are
doomed for the period of the war. The

the manufacture of felt used for these
articles must be discontinued as soon
as present supplies Of raw material

facture interferes with the fulfllment
Of government orders. The board also
called for a report of the stocks on

one Of the greatest photodramas eyer
produced by William Fox, has been
revised, along with five others of his
best productions and will be seen at
the Richmond Theatre tonight with
William Farnum as the star.
One of the earlier of the war films
which grew out of the world conflict,
"a Soldiers OATH, set standard for
thrilling situation and absorbing
heart interest which has not been sur
passed since. The story, it will be
recalled, relates the life tragedy of a
soldier Of France, who, falsely ac-
cused, is sentenced to life imprison-
ment for murder of his wife. How he
vinGicated himself forms a drama of
tremendous power.
