HOW The british

Vast Organization Supplies

100000 FIGHTERS
IN THE SERVICE
BY Newspaper Enterprise Association

By Newspaper Enterprise Association.
LONDON, July i7i.-The task OF feed
Ing and clothing the more than 100000
British sailors and marines has devel-
oped a vast organization.
No matter where the ships may be
stationed, those on board are always
assured Of the best that can be given
them, for in no branch Of the service
are the men better fed.
The Admiralty Victualling Depart
ment in charge OF this work, has con-
structed immense depots OF supplies in
the vicinity OF the grand fleet. There
everything that has to do with per-
sonal needs, and TO some extent mental
needs, OF the men are stored. The de-
pots are ready at any moment to an
swer all calls from eatables 10 ham
mocks and books.
In the transportation OF this vast sup
ply OF food and clothing the watch
word has been decentralization. Double
transportation and handling must be
avoided owing to the scarcity OF ships
and cars. Every ship has its own bak-
cry aboard, and fresh bread is sup
piled to the flotillas from their parent
ships. The old "hard tack" Is no more.
In the last year the principal depot
OF the grand fleet alone passed out
100000 pounds Of sugar. 100000
pounds OF tea and more than 2,5O00O0
pounds Of chocolates. The navy makes
its own chocolates. and nothing but
the best Is Issued.
