magnitude of their successors in
1919. they probably saved the coun-
try millions of dollars.
In 1917-1S the staggering loss of
tonnage as the result of ruthless
submarine campaign made the ques-
tion of maintenance of supplies for
our troops and our allies overseas a
serious problem. Save" became the
national watchword, and for the Sec
ond time in the history of the Army's
salvage developments necessity JUS
titled its claim to motherhood.
What attention had been given to
salvaging operations during the early
part of the war was due entirely to
the work done under Gen. Rogers in
and French, and to the fact that a
salvage officer. Col. Sir Frank B.
Beauchamp, was included in the Brit
ish mission that toured America
shortly after our entry into the strug-
gle. Even the salvage corps in San
Antonio had been a temporary at
fair
The same officer of the American
Army who had sized up the situation
along the Mexican border met the
contingency of 1917. He was now
Brig. Gen. Harry l.. Rogers. chief
quartermaster in France. Under his
supervision abroad the salvage serv-
ice was organized. while at home its
parallel functions were performed by
a salvage division.
While the benefits accruing to the
country and the individual soldier
could be enumerated without end,
there were three principal goals it
aimed to attain-the conservation of
tonnage space, so badly needed for
getting our troops across; the saving
of money that would otherwise have
been spent for new material, and
the reclamation of war material and
lts subsequent conversion into new
clothing, equipment or munitions.
Possibly nothing reads more like a
romance than the history of the SAL
wage service in France. 1t is typical
or the age that this was merely one
i"iS great pTOJectS which
MAJ. Gen. Rogers built up and over
which he had direct supervision. It
was subject which his personal in
terest had led him to take a keen
interest in and which, more than any
other single factor, contributed to
the magnitudinous results obtained.
Colncldently with the official organ
'zation of the salvage service in the
A. E. F. January 1s. 1918. and the es-
'aol'shment o: the first depot at St.
rlerre oes Corps. Gen. Rogers did
"hat has since been characterized by
business leaders as the wisest act of
the service He cabled request to
the War Department for experts in
various kinds OF property that was to
be reclaimed. One Of the men to re-
spond was an official Of perhaps the
largest harness manufacturing busi-
ness in America. and he was given a
commission as captain in the Quar-
termaster Reserve Corps. The case is
typical. Experts in clothing. shoes,
rubber goods. laundry work and other
lines answered this call to the serv-
ice.

The results were on par with the
planning. They showed the average

with the value Of the output at de-
pots and posts was IL per cent, item
lied as follows: Clothing repairs, 5h

leather and harness, az per cent;
shoes. 20 per cent; metal 10 per cent.
The figures include all costs with the

To convert the carefree spend
thrift American doughboy to precepts
of economy wide publicity campaign
was conducted. 1t was directly un-
der the supervision of the chief quar-
termaster. A. f. F., but each division
commander gave 1t added impetus. In
some divisions the order existed that
no man was to return from the front
lines without carrying at least one
item Of salvage and depositing 1t at
one Of the kitchens or little dumps
scattered along the front.
From these smaller dumps the sal
wage was gathered up In trucks and
carried back to the railhead, whence
1t was shipped to one Of the salvage
depots. In February 1919. the total
ground space occupied by depots, etc,
of the salvage service was more than
100000 square feet. The total opera
tions were conducted over an area of
1000 square miles. The personnel,
which had been Initiated with one sal

ceeded, IN February, 1919. 111,o00 peo-

sum $11'.000,000 goes to the credit of
the salvage service. as it was known
abroad, and the balance othe Salvage
Division in this country.
The figures are somewhat incom-
plete. There is no record of what
early months Of 1918 before the SAL
wage work was given official recogni-
tion. Also the overseas figures fail to
show the saving effected since March
81 OF this year, and no account Is
taken Of the prevailing prices today
that the government would have to
ray in replacement Of articles sal
vaged.
But for immediate purposes the sum
of $165.000.00o sufiices. 1t is an
amount more than hundred million
dollars in excess of the cost of our
Mexican war in 1S4s. 1t exceeds by
some ninety millions the country's
maximum debt between that time and
the ensuing civil war period. 1t is
S95.000,009 more than the total appro-
priations for the support of the Army
in 1898, the year of our war with
Spain.
The war Is over. The urgency of
shipping space has past. The frantic
disregard for dollars in the race to
save lives has ended. There is an
opportunity to take stock of the tre-
mendous sum saved the country
through the operations of the salvage
division. One of the assets that we
have reaped from the war has been a
realization Of the true meaning and
worth of economy; and the salvage
division has been the exponent of
this doctrine in the Army.
Salvage" so the Century Encyclo-
pedfa says. "is property saved from
destruction by the extraordinary and
voluntary exertions of the salvors."
Now determine how applicable the
definition is.
In the summer of 1916. when the
National Guard was sojourning along
Pancho Villa. a serious shortage of
tents developed. To aggravate the
situation new troops were constantly
pouring in and new tents were not.
At that time Maj. Gen. Rogers was
Col. Rogers quartermaster of the
Southern Department. under the late
Gen. Funston. with headuarters at
Fort Sam Houston. San Antonio. When
he had been apprised of the situation
he deliberated while and then said:
, III we can't get the new tents we
need, We'll have to make 'em out of
what we've got"
And at San Antonio there was es-
tablished. at his bidding. a tent re-
pair corps with workshops and a per-
manent cadre. 1t saved hundreds of
lives by protecting soldiers from in
clement weather and hundreds OF
thousands of dollars in the remaking
of tents that otherwise would have
teen passed upon as worthless by an
inspector and sold for song.
1t established the salvage principle
in the American Army. Shortly after
ward repair shops for motor trucks
and automobiles and for harness and
leather goods were authorized. AL

Tailoring Ancient Ar.

The art of tailoring, in the western
hemisphere. appears to have originat-
ed in connection with skin garments
rather than those of cloth. In the
North, throughout the reindeer and
caribou area. well-tailored skin gar
ments were worn, completely cover
ing the body. The Esklmos and the
carlbOu-huntlng Indians cut out pieces
of skin and fitted them together in
intricate patterns like modern tailor.
The tailoring art probably began in
China. whence II spread to Europe.
thence to the reindeer hunters in ST.
IBERIA and across from Asia into the
new world. Along the Pacific coast
the aboriginal Indians were but scant-
lily clad and the natives OF Patagonia
usually wore only breechcloth, al
though sometimes capelike robe
hanging from the shoulders was used.
