A government request for bids on
| 3,000,000 emergency rations for the
army in France brings to light the In
| teresting story of how American In
dustry has broken records in putting
up the iron ration" that the boys
take with them when they GO over
the top. The Iron ration" Is SO called
because it is impervious to gas, water
and air. 1t is in an Theoretically seal
ed tin which can be slipped into
soldiers pocket without Inconvenience.
Back in June, General Pershing
cabled a request to the quartermas-
ters department for "a million of the
emergency. rations like those formerly
turned out by Armour Packing COM
pany" The quartermaster got In
communication at once with Armour
& Co, and 1t developed that this par
ticuiar ration was a mixture of wheat
and beef dried and ground to n pow
der and three cakes OF chocolate.
The special machinery necessary
for putting UP this ration had been
dismantled years before, but when
the urgency was made clear the Ar
mour officials at once made the tele-
graph wires hot in locating the need
ed equipment at the various plants,
and N ordering the immediate as
sembling of the machinery at Kansas
City In ordinary times the task
would have been matter of months,
but with necessity as the spur. the
actual packing of iron rations" was
started the first part OF August.
The first order was for million
tins and the government wanted them
ready for shipment by January /. The
company commenced turning them
out at the rate of $4,000 a day. Then
out of n clear sky came the request
that the whole order be made ready
for delivery In France by Oct. 10.
After a gasp of amazement. the Ar
mour people set out TO do the fmpos-
sible. 1t Meant increasing the output
to so. 600 tins day or five times what
the original plan called for.
And 1t has been done.
Until chocolate shortage interfer-
ed the iron rations" began piling
UP at "A rate of almost $4,000 a day.
1T seems now that the first million
tins will be in France this month. The
Armour concern has been directed to
make second million as rapidly as
the work can be done and last week
the government asked for bids on an
additional three million.
Soldiers are not permitted to open
the emergency rations except on or
der of an officer or ia dire extremity.
They are meant to sustain. pfe when
man is caught in n shell hole in no

result OF pressure by the people of
Bavaria and the middle classes

opinion Of observers here
The middle classes see only ruin

The 1909 class has lately been sent
to the front. according TO an off1cia |
dispatch from Amsrerda m, and this
has had profound effect on the en-
tire population. Another official dis
patch from Berne in commenting on
the unrest in Bavaria says:
There is still greater perturbation
of mind In Bavaria than In Northern
Germany. The resolution. voted
lately by the Munich socialists and
demanding the convocation of a high
court for the trial OF all persons, even
those OF the highest rank, who are re-
sponsible for the war. has made
