IMMENSE STORES NEEDED TO
FEED MEN ON TRANSPORTS

An account Of how soldiers are
fed at sea is given in the daily news
paper published on a transport:
Outside of providing 100000
meals at sea, the mess officer of the
ship has very little to do. Very
little.
ale is only called upon TO provide,
by the regulations, 1870 different
kinds Of food. That's all. Ever try
TO order 1870 different things 10 eat?
Vet this is the authentic list.
The food needed TO feed several
thousand men at sea ranges beyond
the glutton's dreams. You get the
answer in the ship, down below the
water line. where 1920 loaves Of
bread have been baked in one day,
and where you stumble over every
variety, from 10000 pounds OF beef
to $4,000 eggs. or compartment
of brick ice-cream in a i0-degree-
above-zero vault.
"And if this doesn't suit. you can
bump into 1924 pounds Of potatoes,
400 pounds Of ham and bacon. l.
800 pounds Of butter. 1900 pounds
Of sugar and 6i,5O0 pounds Of flour.
"lf you cant get a meal out Of
this, YOU can still fall back on 1900
pounds Of sausage, 3,iO0 pounds of
sauerkraut, 10000 pounds Of apples,
1890 pounds Of oranges. and 1900
pounds Of onions. And this leaves
out 1000 pounds Of jam and o 100
pounds Of lima and navy beans.

Reports from Russia are much con-
fused but it is apparent that some
thing is under way to overturn the
Bolsheviki rule and to establish a
government that will oppose the
Germans. The former premier. Ke-
rensky, has come into the open once
more, and has gone to Paris, after
making himself known in England.
II is his desire TO visit the United
States as soon as possible. He is
still far from well, but is as en-
thusiastic for his country as ever.
RumOrs Of the assassination of the
former Car Nichoas, of Russia, have
been circulated, affirmed and deni-
ed so that it is not possible to speak
of the act as certain. Il would be
rather strange, however, if he
should escape the fate that has al
most always overtaken monarchs in
