Armies and Workers
Are Still Well Fed

Next, let me make it clear that. what
ever privations be suffered by others,
ample food is provided for men scrv-
ing IN the armies. Never in the his
tory of the three nations affected
chiefly has manhood been better nour-
lshcd and clothed. Even sons Of we'll
to-do parents put on weight under
training, and home rations Of the armv
in England, even though now reduced
are as large as field rations Of other
armies abroad. Indeed. It is cynical
reflection on our ideas of civilization
that in Europe we only realized the
importance of providing necessaries of
life Tor the poor when the poor were
needed, not for production, but for de-
struction, Of human wealth. Soldiers
thus fed on meat every day for the FIRST
time in their lives will never return
alter the war to a slice Of bread
scraped with hammy knife. The truth
is that for some time tic armies actu-
ally wasted food. Ratons, when ap
portioncd, wero thrown awav as rub
blsh if left uneatcn, and it has taken
the military mind some time to learn
that in this, if in no previous war, he
and the civilian-as General Pcrshing
recognizes stand in together. All re-
sources must be carefully conserved,
because all resources equally assist
toward victory.

measure will reduce the affected com

may remark that it is rather fallacy
to say that five million tons of ship

men to a port three thousand miles
distant. II the soldiers were all en-

true, but the shipping would be re-

what happens. The million men are
proceeding on their mission at so many

guess at the number were possible, |
should not hazard it, but if we call if

ployed would be only 5X for each om

would tonnage be released for drafts

Queries and Answers
Earthquakes

+. II. Ri. Are earthquakes of great
frequency? 2. What causes Garth
quakes?
]. Yes. 1t has been calculated that
there occur about 10000 earthquakes 8
within a year, or $500 hours, hence,
that there arc on the average three
and one-half earthquakes in an hour.
Fortunately, not all earthquakes are of
a violent nature, like that of A. D. 526,
that killed from 10000 to 100000 per-
sons IN the region of the Mediterra-
nean. CT that of 1898, to which 10000
persons fell victims in Sicily, or Of
Lisbon in l755, and those that devas-
tatod Chile, Peru and Japan. OF great
frequency are the minor earthquarkes.
In fact. orr so-called firm earth car be
sand to be IN q state of perpetual agi-
tation. Our senses do not perceive the
slight Disturbances, but the seismo-

med to US BY our natural insensibilty.

,. One cause is the shrinkage Of
the carths crust from cooling. This
process cXerts n powerful sidewise
pressure on certain rock strata, and at
Irregular intervals one stratum Sins
a little over the other. Another cause
IS the sudden conversion Of water into
steam in or near volcanic districts.
An explosion of greater or less vio-
lencc is thus produced, and the consc-
quent tremor is transmitted for many
miles through the rocks.

Cost of Living
More Than Double

the war is put at 100. that cost had

little patience with American Gentle
men Of ample means who visit London
on important business, stay at the Ritz

that they could get all the food they
wanted. Money, if there is plenty
available, will always help the favored
few who can spend it; but what mat

average folk. How do they get on? In
the autumn Of 1917 queues began to be
notlced-at first for sugar, then for
tea, then for margarine, which sudden

IN hope of a small purchase. The
phenomenon was everywhere. The
grocer would ometimes insist that
other purchases be made with the re-
quircd article, but this form Of black
mail was ultimately stopped by gov
ernmcnt regulation. The trouble with
tea was an official underestimate OF
tonnage required. The voyage from the
Far East is a long one, and the au-
thoritics cut it too fine Butter had
long since failed, except for the
WEALTHY, and at Christmas the Marco

No Danger Of
Medical Breakdown

There are many hospitals for Amer
lcan soldiers in France. and the num-
Der VIII increase as the cxpcdtonary
army grows. There is no danger Of a
medical breakdown, because the Amer
lean Red Cross is always a little in
advance of the army. The army is p
new machine; the Red Cross has had
lot of experience already in this war.
1t is doing things in big way: it has
enlisted men of big business, men with
imagination and men with strength
and determination.
At Rue dc Chevrcusc is American
Red Cross Military Hospital no. 8.
which has been turned over to the
American army by Mrs. Whitelaw
Reid. II is intended exclusively for
the use of American officers. Before
the war it was the American Art Stu
dents Club Soon after the outbreak
of the war Mrs. Reid placed it at the
disposal Of the French Red Cross
Early last December. after being re-
decorated and rciitted, it was opened
as an American officers hospital. Il
IS now run under military rules and
regulations, but it has all the com
forts OF private house.
The building is stones throw from

twelve assistants and the matron have

the entrarce is spacious officers

graph, card tables and magazines. This
room is far enough removed to nrcvcnt
