Z. 6. HAS HARD JOB TO
FEED BOYS ON OCEAN
100000 Meals At Sea Needed; How
They Kill The Mosquito And Fly
At Army Camps

(By the Bureau of Public Informal
ion)
An account of how soldiers are fed
at sea is given in the daily newspaper
published on a transport:
Outside of providing 100000 meals
at sea, the mess officer of the ship has
very little TO do Very little.
HE is only called upon to provide,
by the regulations. $50 different vari-
cites of food. That's all. Every try
to order $50 different things TO eatf
Yet this is the authentic list.
1.-The food needed to feed several
thousand men at sea ranges Beyond
the glutton's dreams. You get the an
swer in the ship down below the water
line, where 1890 leaves of bread have
been baked in one day, and where you
stumble over every variety, from Co.
600 pounds of beef TO $4,000 eggs, or
compartment of brick ice cream in
q ten-degree-above-zero vault.
"And if this doesn't suit, you can
bump along into 1924 pounds of po-
tatoes, 100 pounds of ham and bacon,
1900 pounds of butter, $500 pounds of
sugar, and 61,5O0 pounds of -four.
IF you can't get a meal out of this
you can fall back on 1900 pounds OF
sausage, 5000 pounds of sauerkraut'
10000 pounds of apples, 1880 pounds
of oranges, and 4,200 pounds of onions.
And this leaves out 1000 pounds of
jam and 9,400 pounds of lima and navy

The Quartermaster's department Is
now supplying gas-pr0of food contain
ers to the soldiers In the zone of OPP
erations in France. These containers
prevent seepage of gas into the con-
tanners and guard against contamina-
ton of the food. The men carry their
emergency rations in the containers
and all food brought up to the
trenches is carried in the new tins.
After the food is packed in the con-
tainers they are Theoretically sealed.
1t is planned to use paraffin for seal
ing. as it settles in the crevices In
such a way that 1t must be cut before
he lids can be taken off. 1t can be
applied by running the containers
through a paraffin bath.
Because the supply of tin Is limited
and there may not be enough to sup
ply the needs of the army the quarter
masters department is experimenting
with the wax paper box. Tests made
show that these boxes meet all condi-
tons satisfactorily. The tins and
boxes both are vermin and water
proof.

The original order that the approval
of a regimental or higher commander
was necessary before packages might
be sent to members of the expedition
ary forces has been modified so officers
with the rank of major and higher
may approve shipments. The ap-
prevail of company commander is
not sufficient
The question of the shipment of par
GELS to France first came to the atten-
ton of the war department when the
commanding general of the expedition
airy forces cabled that congestion OF
such articles had reached such point
that French railroads We're unable to
handle the load. board appointed
by the secretary of war and the post
master general examined 5000 sacks
of parcel-post mail and found that the
articles being sent not only, in the
main, were absolutely unnecessary, but
undesirable. The investigation showed
that the amount of such mail had
reached a total of 100000 pounds
week, and was steadily increasing.
Relatives and friends. according to
a recent statement by the war depart
ment, will find they often can do
greater service to soldiers by sending
them money for the purchase of ar
ticles. Tobacco is now being supplied
as part of the army rations, and mer-
chandise of nearly all kinds may now
be purchased in France through the
huge general store established by the
quartermaster corps at lower prices
than charged by retailers here.

There are now AZ theaters, which
cost over 100000, in operation In
camps and environments throughout
the country. Nearly 100 vaudeville
acts have been brought from the large
circuits to play in these theaters only;
about so acts have been secured from
Chautauqua and lyceum bureaus; 30
comedy companies are playing in these
theaters exclusively. Some Of these
are original New York companies,
playing the summer season only, with
expenses reduced about two-thirds.
The camps have been divided into
two circuits. In one the Liberty the
alters seat 5000, in the other the
houses are smaller, having capacity
of about 1000 each. 1t takes from IA
to 25 weeks for a production TO be
staged In each house of either circuit.

Special attention is being given BY
the medical department of the army
in all camps TO cleaning up spots
where mosquitoes and flies breed. In
some cases 1t has been necessary to
dig channels in streams, drain swamps,
and put in elaborate ditching systems
TO clean up stagnant pools and streams.
In cases where 1t has been impossible
or impracticable to drain swamps and
do similar work, there has been in
stalled system for keeping slow-mov-
ing streams and still bodies of water
covered with oil. At all points within
the camp where there is the slightest
possibility of mosquitoes or flies breed
ing daily spraying of oil is done.
Arrangements have been completed
with the federal public health service
to carry out a similar program in the
territories adjacent to the camps. The
health service has agreed TO fill boys,
open streams, and drain swamps, and
continue the oil spraying for a dis
lance of / mile around each camp.
Special precautions have been taken
to prevent the spread of disease by
flies. Instructions were given on the
disposal of materials that were likely
to become breeding spots. Arrange
ments were made to protect all food
from flies. With this end in view. all
buildings in which food is prepared or
stored were screened. Entrances to
the buildings have been vestibuled
An average of 5000 flytraps have been
placed in each camp. More than d.
700, 900 square feet of screening has
been placed In all camps.

The dental requirements Of an army
of more than 100000 men can now be
Iaet by the present force of the dental
corps of the United States army. Elk
aminations have been closed and no
further additions will be made to the
corps for some time. The number OF
dental officers has expanded since war
was declared from IS to $50. Com
missions were offered to 5,467 dentists
in all parts of the country, and all but
271 were accepted.
The average number of tooth fill
ings in the army ranges from 225,OOO
to 100000 a month. Special dental
infirmaries have been established in
the camps and cantonments, to which
newly indicted soldiers are sent for
examination shortly after arrival in
the camps.
A school for dental instruction has
been established, where IS officers are
assigned each month to take the two
months course.

The box-car situation is better at
present than it has been at any time
during the last three years, according
TO advice received by the department
of agriculture from the railroad ad-
ministration.
On May l box cars began to move
into wheat territory, and wheat-carry-
ing roads are expected to have on
their lines more than the normal
amount of cars owned by them. Cars
are being parked in wheat-loading ter
ritory, which was impossible last year
The railroad administration will con-
tinue to move cars into wheat dis
tricts as long as there is any indica-
ton that additional cars will be
needed.
