Comfort for the Country

raised. equipped and Differed in nine months
the greatest body OF armed men that ever

life, in less time than any similar force was
ever raised in the history Of the world.
That is not all The machinery has now
been perfected whereby another army Of the
same proportions may be raised. trained and
equipped as last faster than the present
armed force can be transported to the battle
fields of Europe. More than $1,000 600 900
has been turned TO the military estab-
lishment in nine months, and more than half
OF that vast sum of money has been expended
or contracted for without single scandal
or without known waste in any direction
Ordnance, air fleets, machine guns, rifles
and cartridges are being produced faster
than there facilities for delivering them
to our men in the field. Clothing is being
Suppiicu DIS liSt as the mills or the country
can make it. Food superior to that ever
used in rationng any army upon the earth
is being supplied in unlimited quantities
On top of all this is the fact that the health
OF the American forces is better than pre-
walls in any belligerent country in this war
These are rcassuring facts. and if they are
