FEEDING TROOPS In BATTLE
UNDER TRYING CONDITIONS
Supply Train Manages to Get There
Regardless of Circumstances. An
Emergency Ration Used.

LONDON-The method of feed
ing troops during a conflict of many
days is now so complete that even
in the most critical circumstances
the supply train is in constant touch
with the fighting line. If communi-
cations chance to be cut temporarily
each man can rely upon his emergen-
cy ration carried in his haversack,
and which he is forbidden to consume
until he receives the order.
Of this emergency ration, consist
ing usually of bully beef, biscuit, tea
and sugar, the sugar is not the least
important, as it is not only a nour-
ishing food, but an excellent stimu-
liant to men suffering from exhaus-
ton. In the event of a retreat troops
subsist largely upon what is known
as the MachOnochie ration, a meat
and vegetable stew packed in cans
and easily prepared for consumption.
The majority of the men are regu-
larly fed from the travelling field
kitchen, which cooks food while in
motion. 1t can bake or boil for 250
men.

STORMY SCENES IN

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Efforts of
the administration to secure immedi-

house resolution authorizing the pres
ident to take over telegraph, tele-
phone, cable and radio systems dur
ing the war stirred up a bitter fight
in the upper house in which the ad-
ministration won and then lost a par
liamentary advantage

The resolution was buffeted back
and forth between the senate inter
state commerce committee and the
senate floor, in a stormy cOntrover-
sy over the question of holding hear
ings or fastening senate debate and
a vote.
Senators demanding investigation
before action on the house resolution
won a partial victory when the SEN
ate interstate commerce committee
heard testimony behind closed doors
on the telegraph situation from Pres
ident Carlton of the Western Union.
A decision regarding further hear
ings was deferred.
While Carlton took the position
that ACCESSIBILITY of the pending legis-
lation was doubtful, according to
committee members, he did not Wig
orOusly protest against enactment of
the house resolution. He pointed out
difficulties attending government
operation and some of the members
said they gathered that ne regarded
government control as unnecessary
and believed the company can sue
cessfully cope with labor difficulties.

PLAN WAR TAX ON
WEARING APPAREL
MEMS CLOTHES, JEWELRY, WO-
MEMS HATS, PARASOLS AT
FECTED. SERVANTS, TOO.

That luXuries will be heavily taxed
for war purposes in the forthcoming
revenue bill there is no question, but
just how the line will be drawn be-
tween necessities and luxuries the
ways and means committee of con-
gress has not yet decided.
Treasury experts would establish a
basic price for all of the necessities
and would then levy a tax on ali
sums above that price. For example,
thirty dollars is suggested as the basic
price of a mans suit of clothes. On
all sums above this he would pay a
tax of twenty per cent. A like tax
Is suggested on all sums above five
dollars for shoes and so on through
the list of wearing apparel. A fifty
per cent tax is suggested on all Jew
elry. Every parasol would bear a
heavy tax, but the umbrella would
be a necessity up to stated figure.
Cost More to Dress Wifey.
Ten dollars was suggested as the
price of woman's hat with a TWEEN
ty per cent. tax on the cost above
that figure. Woman's wearing appar-
ell in general is similarly classified
Mems ties, hats, socks, and the whole
list receive similar treatment. Then
the tax enters the household and the
man with one servant would pay no
tax, but if he had two he would have
to pay his percentage of war tax
based on the wages paid. When he
gets up to four servants then he has
to pay as war tax a sum equivalent
to the wages the servants receive
There is certain to be heavy auto
tax, as the pleasure car is going to
be tagged as luxury. A member of
the ways and means committee said
the treasury department suggestions
had received no consideration and it
was not probable that many of them
would be followed out, but he gave
it as his opinion that the revenue bill
will say clearly what is a reasonable
expenditure for necessities and what
is extravaganza and luxury and levy
the tax accordingly.

Only the quickest action imaginable,

mendous quantities of hospital sup
plies from Red Cross stores in France,
as well as large purchases in Italy,
made the emergency work OF the
American Red Cross possible during
the recent distress in Italy brought
about by the rout of the italian army.
No such mission for human help has
ever seen the like Of this heroic work
by the American Red Cross in Italy.
For the winters needs it was found
that $50 tons of hospital supplies were
required, and these were ordered in
America for immediate delivery TO
italy.
Some of the things ordered were an
aesthetics, surgical instruments, rub
ber goods, enamel ware, gauze, abb
sorbent cotton and drugs. Just what
such a shipment means is difficult for
a layman to grasp.
If you'd like TO see your druggist

that were ordered for use in italy.

were ordered. Since the war quinine
