Plans for the distribution of 1,5O0,-
600 pounds of Army surplus foodstufrs
have been practically completed by
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
James 1. Blakslee. who will be in COM
plete control of the parcels post dis
tribution of the food throughout the
country.
The foodstuffs are scattered across
the United States in Army warehouses.
Completion of the price list, which
will start the wheels of distribution
machinery moving, Is expected to-
night. All Indications are that tomor-
row the Post Office Department will
begin the greatest food distribution
plan ever taken up in a single project.
AS a result of the expected huge
demand the Post Office Department
has decided not to print uniform
blanks for orders. but to take orders
from consumers on ordinary paper.

and consignment at the same time.
General Outline Of Plan.
The plan is in general as follows:
The Army having notified the de-
partment Of the availability of the
food, announcement will be made
probably tomorrow or the next day
Of the readiness of the Post Office De-
partment to handle the parcel post
orders.
Postal carriers, persons in charge Of
post offices, employees of post office
branches. and. possibly. other persons
connected with the Post Office Depart
ment. will be ordered to take orders
for the food and to collect for the food
and postage.
The money for food will pass
through the collection channels Of the
Post ONCE and to the, War Depart
.ment auditing divisions. The money

Orders and consjgnments. Z
& Orders ana consignments for indt-
viduals will be summed up and 4 list
retained at the central post office OF
the city or town.
After summing up the individual
orders, a request for q consignment
Of the bulk will be transmitted. to the
War Department distribution agen-
cfes, together with funds to pay for
same.
When the bulk consignments arrive,
which may approximate several car
loads Of food for large cities. the post
master will take the list Of individual
orders in hand and separate the
masses into packages.
Postman Makes Delivery. ,s..
The final step is the delivery of the
food packages to the consumer by
the postman.
This will save much more time and
expense than II orders were placed
with the War Department for food to
by, transmitted by parcel post. II
such syStem were followed, officials
declare. a Jam and tumble would re-
suit that the food might not arrive
for more than a month or two.
More than 220, OO0, 900 pounds are in
the Army surplus. 1t was stated. Much
Of this food will go direct to munich
palities for distribution. All of it. it
Is intimated. will be released from
the Army warehouses en- masse.
Washington will probably have a
chance to obtain the $4,000 worth
Of Army food ordered within a few
days, it was declared today. The re-
vision Of the price list has delayed
the release of the food, but further
obstacles are not expected to crop up.
