Army Salvage Service in France

the war to less than three-tenths Of a
pound per man daily. For an Army
that Is to fight ON its stomach--as
all armies have done since Napoleon
first coined the phrase-the saving Is
an essential one.
The question Of increased produ-
ction was also made an active one In
the camps In the United States
throughout the war. 1t was initiated
on May 16. 1918. on q large scale
through the securing Of $4,000 from
the vocational training fund. which
was apportioned among fifteen can
tonments. Exactly a week before the
signing of the armistice Congress ap-
propriated $250.000 more for this
work, a sum that was never really
touched. owing to the closing of hos
tilities. From the amount previously
expended. the Army derived net
revenue Of $10s.000 through the in
tensive farming and raising Of live
stock. principally pigs. on the s.4ss
acres which constituted the various
cantonment farms. In addition to the
food conserved and the money raised.
1t offered a practical way Of train
ing soldiers in the art Of farming for
their civilian days to come.
Generalities on the savings of the
salvage division in America could be
indulged In without end IL the full.
list of its activities were to be ex-
plotted in detail. But the cold bare
facts are in these figures of it's net
saving to the. government on this
side of the Atlantic:

companies at many camps In this
country during the war and prepared
numerous salvage companies for
overseas service.
That the salvage division 10 assured
Of an integral position in the Ameri-,
can Army has passed the point Of de-
bate. The cessation Of hostilities came
at time when 1t was only beginning
to reach the point of greatest useful
ness. The most advantageous mar
kets were just being opened tp, thor
ough systematizing of the whole divi-
sion had only recently been consum-
mated and uniform accounting and
bookkeeping methods installed. Also.
the famous special regulation n was
issued Just few days before the sign
ing of the armistice. It contained diI
rections based on scientific investiga-
tion for saving and salvaging Of every
article Of Army equipment from motor
truck parts to food and gloves to
grease.
"The Alladin's lamp Of conserva.
ton" to use the sobriquet tho salvage
service earned by its conservation ac-
tlvities In war time, will continue to
shine as brightly as ever during peace.
The answer as to whether the sal.'
wage division has justified its exist
ence, outside of financial saving, 10
found in the official history written
by Maj. Simpson: !.
1.-THE history and development of the
salvage division is romance Of the
American Army. and its achievements
will go down as one Of the proudest
and most remarkable episodes ever
recorded among the Army's achieve
ments."

stice. the battlefield recoveries total

spirit that the salvage service is go
Ing on and that its greatest results
are still to be made apparent.
During the time that the salvage
service In France was practicing and
teaching the doctrine Of economy the
salvage division was filing similar
function in the camps and canton
ments of this country.
Clothing repairs were given prompt
attention In the cantonments through
the establishment Of repair shops in
all camps. those at the base plant in
Atlanta and at Fort Sam Houston be-
ing regarded as models in the way of
emciency and saving. As in France,
the repair process included q thor
ough cleansing. Clothing was steril-
lied under the pressure Of forty
pounds Of steam per square inch for
thirty minutes--a sure death to germs
and animals.
Coincidently with the clothing prob
lem came that of laundering. Like
myriad colonies, overnight there sprang
up In the twenty different camps of this
country immense laundry shops capable
Of caring for the needs of from 80, 900 to
10000 troops each. The soldier was
charged dollar a month for his laundry
In the United States. q cost far below
what he would otherwise have had to
pay. These shops were established
under an order issued by Secretary of
War Baker August s, 1918, at an esti-
mated cost of $5.287,S52. Despite the
inexpensive service given enlisted men.
1t has been officially estimated that
these laundries saved the government
almost three million dollars.
Take another angle. At Jeffersonville
depot. Indiana, an institution was estab-
lished that topped all the shoe repair
shops throughout the Army camps. 1t
was complete manufacturing plant,
rather than shop. 1t holds a record
for January. 1919, Of having received
1912 pairs of shoes, an average Of
more than 1000 daily. OF this number
$4,000 were irreparable, 11,475 needed
new inner soles. 1892 needed usual
run of repairs and LIE were graded for
civilian use. The average shoe repair
shop had a capacity OF from 400 to 500
pairs daily.
On tha 721.25s hats that the salvage
division renovated in this country 1t
made a saving for the government Of
more than half million dollars.
Consecutive reports from the salvage
division on foodstuffs showed that the
early waste Of two pounds daily per man
was reduced toward the closing days Of
