Washington, May 16. = Soldiers
who fought against Spain in 1898
lost in weight on an average of p
pounds each; the average American
soldier at the end Of the fighting in
1918 weighed twelve pounds more
than he did when the selective SER
vice act or his own volition brought
him into the Army"
Thus the success won by the
Army's subsistence branch in the
great war is epitomized in chapters
of the official war material history
made public to-day by the War De-
partment.
The food problem of an Army of
100000 Americans is visualiZed in
the history by considering the force
as single man and the entire war
period as one dinner hour. Articles
comprised in the Army ration as
sumed these tremendous totals:
Army Rations
Roast beef S00,000,000 pounds;
bacon, 150.000,000 pounds; flour
(bread) 1.000,000,O00 pounds; but
ter, 17,500,000; oleomargarine, H.
100000; baked beans, 150,O00.000
pounds; potatoes, 4S7,000,000
pounds. onions. 100000 pounds;
corn, beans and peas, $50, 100000
cans; tomatoes, 190.000,000 cans;
prunes. peaches and apples (for des-
sert), 107,000,000 cans; sugar, $780,
100000 pounds; coffee, 75,000,00O
pounds; evaporated milk, 100000
600 cans.
The bill for this meal" amounted
to 1927, 7,000,0 900 to December 1, 1918,
the per capita cost having risen from
cents in 1897 to 4S in 1918. q.
At the time of the armistice,
American soldiers in France were
consuming 100000 pounds of food
daily. Moving this stCpendous guam
tity over the 3,000-mile line of COM
munication was the principal OBJ
stacle to be overcome. This and
necessity for conserving cargo space
led directly in the later months to
the shipment of dehydrated vegeta-
bIes to the American Expeditionary
Force.
1.-The problems were solved only
by the assistance of the American
food industry" the report says. and
while instances were found of food
specifications being violated, these
are declared to have been very few
and in most instances not inten-
tional.
The emergency ration of the
American soldier, designed to be used
only in cases of extremity, was per-
fected during the war to consist of
three cakes of beef. prepared with
a bread-compound of ground cook
I'd wheat, each cake weighing three
ounces; three one-ounce cakes of
chocolate. three-fourth ounces fine
salt and one dram black pepper.
For Invalid Soldiers
A special ration was designed for
the use of invalid soldiers, includ-
ing potted chicken, dried eggs, pud-
dings, etc.
Importance attached to the supply
of fresh coffee for the men is evil

bean in the green form and have

Billion for Construction
ION November IL, 1915" the re-
port says, ''the construction division
was conducting 535 operations in
442 localities. involving an expendi-
ture of $1,000, 900, 900. These touch
ed every State but one"
As the construction crews devel-
oped team work. remarkable in
stances of speed were reported. Pre-
cautions taken to assist the contrac-
tors included the detail of a disburs-
ing officer on the spot, with check
book ready" so that material could
be paid on delivery, and so that
special equipment could be obtained
at a fair rental and a steady now
OF building materials be insured.
The last feature finally necessitated
the sending of soldiers into the for
est to cut logs and piles and to load
them on railroad cars, which were
guarded by soldiers to their destin-
alton.
When a shortage of stoves threat
ened the health of the new army,
officers of the construction were sent
to the factories to speed up produc-
ton, with the result that the army
obtained $1,000 in three months,
although that number is years
output of the industry"
Fire prevention at the various
army projects was so efficient that
the per capita loss was, only 46
cents, compared with the civilian
rate of $2.42.
