BREAD FOR THE YANKs.

now some 100000 American soldiers
| in France. In it's If this achievement
! is wonderful, considering the short
ne riod in which it was accomplished
but equally praiseworthy is the es-
Establishment of the means of SUPPLY
ing this army of healthy, twoflsted
SONS of freedom America with the
tons of food necessary for their sub
sistence.
! Nc-one can doubt the vital import
srce of this part of the war program
AMI no individual knows better tnan
wife or a mother how much food
a vigorous, outdoor man can con-
sumo.
Germany sneerngly asserted that
in the first place America could not
set enough men to France to IN any
way affect the war and that even If
the men could be TRANSPORTED there
would be no way of feeding them.
While the military ring at Potsdam
was busy drilling such twaddle as
ssm1ght makes right" "Deutsc land
Der allies" and "Hoch der kaiser,
into the German people Ameri, by
her liberal and pea e-loving policies
was affording her citizens means
OF cultivating such charact SITS
as individual initiative, qui COM
rrehensicn of deta Is AMI the ABILITY
to do things Now when the saliva
ton of a nation depends on the
character of its men the American
people, though knowing little OF war
as a profession, are abe to rise to
any occasion required for the main
reason that they have been trained
ito think for themsel es and render
effectual such me- sures as are nee
essary to carry them to victory.
Now Germany's lies and brash stat
,ments are being Iur ed ba k in hsr
teeth, for net only las Aneri lone
everything she set cut to do but she
is proving to be the dec ding FACTOR
in this war to whom Germ any can

any other nation for her defeat,
The matter of feeling American
troops in France see me d at first
herculean task when it was rsmem-
bered that nearly every item for sup
plying the daily IN nus of tire sol
diers must first be produced on this
side of the Allan. il, harvested and
sent to the shipping ports, loaded
onto vessels and carried overseas,
and finally unyoaded "A transp rted
across country to tie fia-lng lines.
But it was accomp ishe d just as
everything else that America has at
tempted was and now the Yanks
abroad are receiving fully as good
fare as the people at home.
Bread, the staff o. life" CT course
forms a major part IN each days RAJ
tions. Uncle Sam has built bakeries
of an enormous CAPACITY in France
one of the largest of which has a
floor space OF 1S5,0OO square feet,
exclusive of the power house and
storage buildings. In this pl Mt about
100000 pounds of flour are consum-
ed daily. So advantageously is the
equipment arranged that force of
$50 men can make as much bread
here as 10 times that numb using
field bakeries are able to pro1rce
This huge plant is kept running the
whole "a hours in order that the sol
diers may have frfsh br ad every
day. AS many as SIX different kinds
of flour are often used in on2 mix
being blended together in a specially
constructed machine.
Practically the entire work In this
plant including the mixing, knead-
ting, molding and bahino is dine by
ma chinery. From the blending ms+
chine the flour is elevated to a sitter
suspended overhead from where it
drops into a weieher which automat-
ically deposits the exact amount OF
