Tobacco Habits of Old
and New Armies Differ

Perhaps nothing illustrates the 'dif-
ference between the old regular army
and the new fighting forces of the
United States more graphically than
the tobacco habits Of each Formerly
chewing tobacco was in strongest de-
mand. Today the demand Is much
greater for cigarettes. This is as
cribed to the average age Of the pres
ent soldier being considerably below
that of the old army. Young men pre-
fer cigarettes to any other form Of
tobacco. The subsistence division Of
the Quartermaster Corps is shipping
to the overseas forces from 10000 ooy
to en- 10000 cigarettes each month
