System of Purchasing.

While the buying Is thus controlled

Washington. The purchase depots at
various points telegraph to the dlvl.
sonal officers price quotations on sup
plies with recommendations as to their
acceptance. The divisions experts
study them I'm connection with their
market reports and confidential lists
of prices from the big food industries.
Then from the divisional offices goes
the teegraphed word to the depots to
purchase or decline.
From the depots the food goes to
the various camps and environments,
where 1t is issued to the fighting organ
izations by the quartermaster in
charge. Each company, battery or
troop, each separate detachment, oper-
ates its own kitchen with its enlisted
cooks working under a mess sergeant.
Here the food is prepared for break
fast, dinner and supper.

Problem Long Ago Worked Out.

Problem Long Ago Worked Out.
The provision of food in such guam
titles and with such promptnoss is not
a feat that can be accomplished by sud
den inspiration 1t could be only the
result of much thought and study. The
army authorities gave the subsistence
problem the requisite amount of
thought and study long before the
darker war clouds began to gather on
the American horizon. At no time has
there been serious criticism of the
subsistence end of the quartermaster's
department
Under Colonel Grove, or associated
with him in the co-ordinated efforts Of
other branches OF the quartermaster
corps, are many well-known officers,
some of them veterans Of the army and
some fresh from civil life, but all ex-
perts in commissary service.
Back in 1898, when distinguished
gentlemen on the floor of congress
were apprehending that the American
soldier was being pampered with a
diet too elaborate, the ration for the
army consisted of one and quarter
pounds of beef, eighteen ounces of
bread and -four twothirds of an ounce
of salt and one-third of a gill of vine
gar. That was all, but 1t enabled the
American soldier to dine far more ex-
tensively than did any of his foreign
brothers in arms. Today the ration in
cludes II food articles, each capable of
extensive variation by substitution.
The soldier eats them In Gargantuan
quantities. Here are some of the things
which Colonel Grove and his organiza-
ton must provide each day in the
year:

GOD WANTS WORKERS" SAYS
BILLY. SUNDAY, MOT KNOCKERS
Preachers Who Preach and Teachers Who
Teach Needed, Evangelist Asserts.
Declares Creator Hands Tied.

There is a crying need today for Ia
borers who will lead, preachers who
can preach. teachers who can instruct
in the tremendous questions that con-
front u.s. said Billy Sunday in his SER
mon on Work the Secret Of Success"
before a large gathering last night at
the Tabernacle. He took for his text
in the Book of Nehemiah, fourth chap
ter, sixth verse. The people had a
mind to work.
What God wants." asserted the evan
gelist, is workers, not knockers. All
denominau tons are failing to convert
unchurched members. 1t has reached
the point where the bars Of the church
have been lowered until any old hog
with two suits Of clothes and bank
roll can crawl through, and ii he can't
get in one church. there's another
around the corner that will take him IN.
Gods Hands Tied.
Gods hands are tied and Gods chariot
wheels are clogged through the indif-
ference of the church today.
God wants workers, not critics; he
wants builders. not wrecking crews.
Young men are leaving the ministry.
Mighty few young men are entering the
seminaries. The seminaries are up
against it.
Enthusiasm for God is like the measles
or smallpox-n you've got 1t somebody
else will get it if they go near you. If
you are lazy and indolent. knocking.
grumbling. bowling. you are only q
drone in Gods hive, and other people
will not catch the spirit OF enthusiasm.
They will have feelings analogous to

People Too Lazy.
TT is one thing to know what to do
and another thing to do it. The trouble
Is that the people know what to do.
but they do not do it because they are
too lazy to do it. knowledge is OF no
value unless you use it.
ut is useless to know how to trim
a hat or make a dress or pair of
shoes or build a house. that knowledge
is perfectly useless If you will not or
do not use it. 1t is useless to those de-
pending Upon you for bread and butter
unless you use your knowledge. You
may know about God. yet your knowl-
edge of God and Gods cause is no good
unless you take the knowledge and put
it into practice. Religion is the most
common sense thing in the universe.
christianity consists in neither be-
lieving alone nor doing alone, but in
both. If you believe. wake up and do
something. Show you believe by what
you do. James said: Faith without
works is dead In other words, it Is

Funeral Arrangements Not Made.

Arrangements for the funerals of the
four other victims of the tragedy had
not been completed tonight. 1t was ex-
pected that the body of Mr.. Winters
would be taken to Kansas City. The
body of Carl Ohleson, clerk in the

Kansas City. The body of John Jewell.

Funston, who was visiting in the bank
when the murders were committed. will

body also will be taken to Kansas City,
according to information available to-

Although the dead men were civil

some ceremony by which the camp
might show its sympathy, probably
would take place.
News that the tragedy had been
cleared up came as welcome relief
TO the officers and men. Since the crime
was discovered last night the camp has
been a barred military area surrounded
by heavily armed guards with orders
TO shoot any one who might seek to
enter or leave the camp without per-
mission. None but military automobiles
were permitted to enter or leave. Hun
flrkds of laborers engaged in construct
ing buildings at the cantonment were
virtually prisoners and not allowed to

officials said tonight the restrictions
probably would be removed immediate
