-he. great American sweet tooth 'is

A statistician attached to the quar-
termasters corps proves this assertion.
He made public yesterday figures
showing that since last September the
army has used 225.0OoOoo pounds OF
sugar, and that 1000 soldiers consume
27 pounds of sugar In one day., In
an eight months period. tue amount
OF sugar furnished by the allotment
division was so great that the sacks

four feet wide and five feet tall from
Baltimore to Washington. and tNat II
would require 3,3i5 box cars to corry
this amount. To unload these sae<s,
the statistician says five years OF con-

be necessary.

K. c. KNIGHT PROTESTS
2-GROUP DRIVE PLAN

A telegram has been received
here by>Secretary Baker from James
A. Flaherty. supreme knight of the
Knights OF Columbus, from New
Haven. Connecticut. protesting
against the division of the recog-
niZed oraa nizations into two
groups. one of the Catholics and
Jews. and the other of the Y. NJ.
c. A. the Y. W. c. A. and three
other agencies in the joint nation
wide drives for campaign funds.
Secretary Baker replied that not
only was the dual grouping not
drawn on any religious lines. Lut
-that religious distinctions we're not
thought of when the plan was
framed. A combination drive of all
seven OF the agencies recognized
by the War Department was not
possible for this year. and it wis
felt absolutely necessary to prevent
series of indepe ndent drives.

rs men in a front line trench. pack
ed in camouflaged galvanized iron
containers has been worked out by
the subsistence division of the
ouartermaster Corps. according to
a statement issued by the War De-
partment yesterday. The ration
contains hard bread, corn beef. corn
beef hash. roast beef, salmon. sar-
dimes. soluble coffee. sugar. salt and
the necessary can openers.
Every effort is being made by
the War Department to give the
men in the trenches hot freshly

ditions where this is not possible

AMERICAN SOLDIERS
GET GOOD SOFT BREAD

American soldiers in France are
getting good soft bread made from
pure wheat flour. the War Depars-
nent stated yesterday.
Field bakers are furnished by The
Subsistence Division of the Quarter
master Corps with pure wheat flour
because they work under pressure and
have no time to experiment with new
flour mixtures.
Bakers for the troops In the United
States are receiving their proportion
of flour substitutes. They turn out
appetizing breads because their ovens
are permanent and the bakers have
the time to try flour combinations.
The eighteen ounces OF wheat Gou"
for soft bread allotted each American
soldier has proved more than suffi-
cient. so that reduction to sixteen
ounces is now being contemplated.

CUT OUT THE TRAVEL,
M'ADOO SUGGESTS

Director General of Railroads Nc
Adoo last night issued an appeal 10
the public to refrain from travelling
unnecessarily, and thereby liberatc es-
sential transportation facilities for
war purposes.
The Director General explained that
he realized there were grounds for
numerous complaints OF oyercrowded
trains and unsatisfactory conditions
on trains, but that these things were
due to the great demand upon the
railroad systems for troop movements
and transportation of coal. food. raw
materials and other supplies required
for military operations.

thing to be done in connection with
