shing did not tell Rogers how to do
it. He told him what he must accom-
plish and left 1t to Rogers to get the
results. That was in August. 1917.
The general plan was almost
blank but Gen. Rogers is born or
ganizer and he began to do for his
new corps what Gen. PershnS had
done in his own case-ask for the
officers that would fit into the Or
ganization that he saw he had to
build. Then it was that the broiling

With the growth of the little exhi-

grew from the few hundreds in the
beginning to something more than

in London, wired: VERY important
that l should confer with Chief Ord
nance Officer Williams and with
Chief Quartermaster General Hogers
on entire subject of supply Of troops
In France. Very, important. Bliss"
Supplies were beginning to arrive
from the United States, but they were
only beginning. Transportation was
in poor shape and Gen. Bliss called
the conference to learn the extent Of
supplies that he would have to secure
abroad. Gen. Rogers was one Of the
leaders in this emergency, and this
conference led to added comforts and
conveniences for the men that were
beginning to arrive in great numbers
from the United States. Later
Gen. Rogers was one Of the board to
handle the fuel situation in France.
Coal was almost out Of sight in guam
ttty and price. Tank steamers were
carrying oil as fast as their number
and the state OF the port terminals
would permit. but only most careful
planning would provide heat and
power to sustain and move the armies
growing larger day by day. Building
material had almost ceased to be in
France.
Evening star., 1919-05-11


II one asks Gen. Rogers what he
did in Europe. about the only thing
he would get from him is that he fed
and clothed the Army, provided fuel
and transportation. and paid the men
when it was possible. He says that
he had an organization that was al
ways little ahead Of the demand.
and that his officers ran it so well
that they only had to expand to take
care of twice as many as they did pro-
vide for. But some Of the officers who
have come back from France let fall
some little details. He kept the Army
ration up to the highest excellence. SO
that it has been said again and again
that no Army has ever been fed as the
American Army was fed. Quantity was
ample and quality was fine. People
on the western side of the Atlantic
went without white -four but the SOL
ders had bread in plenty. Gen.
Rogers erected miles Of bakeries and
fresh bread went right up to the
front.
When France was hungry for bread
which means much to the French
men--Gen. Rogers was able to lend
from his supply enough to tide them
over The quartermaster men at
midnight loaded trains with the
precious -four for sections Of
France. Gen. Rogers himself
not smoker, knows the way
the men feel about their Smokes"
so first he arranged to give them the
makngs at actual cost and more re-
as a part of the issued ration to the
troops in the field.
During the war he established sales
for the men at tho
front Taking from the general
stores stock that years ago would
have been called suffers supplies.
he sent small lots right up to the
front and sold combs, tobacco, witch
hazel talcum powder, candy, razor
blades. soap and notions Of all sorts
at cost.
Gen. Rogers was a strong advocate
of a better grade Of uniform than
that which the War Department was
issuing to the troops up to the time
that Gen. Goethals was placed in
charge Of supply. and through Gen.
Pershing made strong protests
against the grade Of cloth used dur
ing the first winter the troops were
in France. After good uniforms were
provided, it is a sound general state-
ment that American soldiers went
neither cold nor hungry. Nor was
the duty of Gen. Rogers limited to
France He had to provide for troops
in England. Italy. Belgium and for
the Russian expedition.
