ert X. Tomlin, jr., writing in "The Engi-

explains just how this supply is pro-
vided:
investigations of our army engineers in
France have led along some strange by
paths, routes unexplored in the course of
ordinary municipal water supply practice
at home. How much water does u horse
or mule drink daily? What is the mini
mum requirement per capita for troops
during an advance? What is the best
means of sterilizing water on the field?
How shall pipe lines, pumping stations and
tanks be protected from shell FIRE, Shall
each army corps or division be responsible
for its own water supply, or shall this
matter be controlled for all of our forces

they're first mortgage all the homes in cities
