George Sightseer comes to have his

of the American occupation he re-

You can commence to figure from
there the high cost. An army au-

which can do everything but talk,
requires gasoline. And its not easy
to transport gasoline to the Rhine

tion for food, shoes, clothes and
other supplies.
However, George must see his
sights. Ile might walk ten miles to
save a dollar taXicab hire back
home, but he really appreciates a
thirty, sixty or ninety-mile breeze in
an army automobile with plenty OF
scenery thrown in. Such matters as
tire wear do not weigh on his soul.
With the automobile he has a
driver Of course. The driver is an
enlisted man. His upkeep and salary
and what it cost to get him over
here to Germany might be figured
in as one of the items of the cost
of Georges jaunt.

Then there must be a conducting
officer. He is a lieutenant or cap

ness waiting for him back home,
and who is tarnation anxious to get

Two and a half million tons OF

are placed at our disposal a long
time will be necessary to put them

Meanwhile Britain and America
must divide the major responsibility
OF furnishing tonnage for the food

only some 500 900 tons for use in his
work for Adriatic ports. Rotterdam

lack Of motor facilities and very
pessimIstic as to the armys ability

possible, but the President has made such
progress that the doctors have about
