The food problem Of an army of 3,700,.
600 Americans is visualized in the his
tory by considering the force as single
man and the entire war period as one
dinner hour. Articles comprised in the
army ration assumed these tremendous
totals:

The bill for this meal amounted to
1927 100000 to Dec, 1918, the per cap

1897 to AS in 1918.

600 pounds of food daily. Moving this
stupendous quantity over the 3000-mle
line of communication was the principal
obstacle to be overcome. This and ne
cessity for conserving cargo space led
directly in the later moL&ls to the ship
ment of dehydrated vegetables to the
American eXpedtionary force.
The problems were solved only by
the assistance OF the American food in,
dustry," the report says, and while in.
stances were found of food specifications
being violated, these are declared to have
been very few and in most instances not
intentional.
The emergency ration of the American
soldier, designed to be used only in cases
of extremity, was perfected during the
war to consist of three cakes of beet,
prepared with a bread compound of
ground cooked wheat, each cake weigh
ing three ounces; three one ounce cakes
of chocolate; three fourth ounces fine
salt and one dram black pepper
A special ration was designed for the
use of invalid soldiers, including ported
chicken, dried eggs, buildings, etc.
importance attached to the supply of
fresh coffee for the men is evidenced by
the decision to ship the bean in the green
form and have it roasted near the front.
This led to the invention of portable
roasters capable oflhandling several tons
a day.

Notwithstanding this decree, the
minister OF finance has placed an

VIENNA. Friday. Sept. 12.-Aus-
tria continues to drift toward an in
ternatonal situation approaching
the chaotic, and leading men and
the newspapers are beginning to
voice apprehension as TO what may
follow unless a strong central gov
eminent can weld the country into
a more harmonious national whole.
At the present time it is apparent
that each region or district is for IT
self and that all of them are against
Vienna. At the bottom seemingly

tinued decrease in the value OF the
crown and fear OF famine. The
