THE DAILY BRITISH WE CEEDING THE TROOPS ALMOST INCREDIBLE SUPPLIES NEEDED FOR THE ARMIES, £ 1 om-- - z British Soldiers Ave the Best Fed at the Front and Have = Wide Variety of Vignds---French and Germans Trust to Foragers to Get Much of the Supply--Five Huwdred Cars a Day. The soldiers who are fighting ia the many armies of Europe eat 11,- 250 tons of food each day. These figures are based on the allowances wade by each country for each man in war time and averaged by an auth- ority on commlissariat, 1t t& figured that the average tor each man is 2 1-4 pounds of food & day. It has 'been stated that there are from 8,000,000 to 16,000,000 mén now on the battle lines. Just what the real figures are it is lmpos- |: gible to determine, but 10,000,000 is probably nearly correct. A box car on a Canadian railroad will carry about twenty toms. This ineans that to transport the food of one day for 10,000,000 men 560 of these cars would be needed. If these 560 cars were divided into trains of forty cars each it would means four- teen trains drawn by the largest en- gines in the country. Hach nation bas its own system of feeding its men, and now it is realized everywhere that to enable the men to fight at their best they must be fed properiy. Great Britain sends food trains to follow each divi- sion, and these trains, equipped with the different foods, deal out to each regiment provisions, which are servéd to the men or are cooked and served from the kitchens. The French also furnish their wen with food, especial- ly when they are fighting on the de- fensive, as they have been so far in the present war, but when they are in an ememy's country they follow largely the system of the Germans, tbat the country should support the army as far as possible. The Germans in the present war have been able to follgw this plan, so that It is prob- able that they Nave not had to draw very largely on their regerve stores, . Catering fof the army has become a sclénce. Each country has its ex- perts who have figured out just what is needed for the men at home and when in the fleld carrying arms, Each has figured just what is necessary for all climates, and men who are sent to fight in cool climates -have dif- ferent food from those sent to war in the tropics. They have learned, too, what foods will be -best to nourish and sustain men in their tremendous work and have selected foods easy of transportation and which have as 1it- tle waste as possible in preparation. It is absolutely necessary that the men should have good wholesome food, and it is also an important item that this food should be put into as little 'space as possible in order to facilitate transportation. Each army has its own rations. One ration is for the army when on a peace footing at homg and the other for the men when they are in the field fighting. Germany and France, téo, have another ration for the men when they are taking part in the manoeuvres, and with these two countries these rations are very simi- lar to the war ration. In all countries bread forms the most important part of the ration. The British allow their men. 24 ounces, the French 32 ounces, and the German 26 1-2 ounces to each man. This bread is baked in the army ovens, The German ovens are drawn by motors and they arrive with the troops as soon as the battle is over. For cach division there are twelve ovens and these can turn out 30,000 loaves of bread a day. The dough is mixed in the usual way. Sometimes this bread is turned out in biscuit form. Each man receives two rations, which he carries in his haversack. Each one of these ovens can turn out 2,500 bread rations a day. The British also have these field overs, but they also have portable kitchens which are drawn by horses or by motors and follow the army. About four men are necessary to manage one of these kitchens and these men cook tue meals for the soldiers, which is served out to them night and morning as long as it is possible for them to do so. These kitchens make stews for the men, cook bacon, make tea or coffee, and with the British army jams and sweets form a large part of their food. It has been sald that the British soldier in the field lives well and often has what might be termed luxuries.. He gets his meat, 12 ounces heing allowed each man. ounces of fresh vegetables when they can be procured, 3 1-2 ounces of milk, an ounce and a half of sugar, and a quarter of an ounce each of tea, coffee and sali. The French ration is somewhat different. It consists of 32 ounces of bresd, 9 3-4 ounces of meat, 3 1-2 ounces of fresh vegetables and 1 onnce of sugar. also gets, whenever possible, about half a pint of red wine and coffee. The daily field ration of the Ger- 'man army is 26 ounces of fresh viead or 17 ounces of "biscuit, 13 ounces of raw meat, fresh or salted, ounces of rice or 8 ounces of pulse roffee or tea, sugar and salt. These various ingredients are not doled out to the men to cook for themselves, but the food train uses them to make stews and to be cooked in different ways, and then when they are cooked the men are served. Each soldier has what is known as a haver- cack ration and an emergency ration. His Memory. "Has Le a good memory?" "No, just a common, ordinary, everyday memory.

The Canadian army has for some years past bad army dental surgeons on its staff, though in England this has not been the case. The dental condition of England is deplorable. Among the poorer people teeth are seldom filled, but are extracted on the first pain, which accounts for the almost toothlessness of many quite young men and women who migrate to Canada, "They are realizing that now," said a local dentist. "They are have ing big dental clinics at all the con. centration camps, and plates and bridges are being made for the -re- jected men." If the dentists' offer is accepted it will mean that hereafter any volun« teer need only present a certificate from the medical examiner, approved by -the dental surgeon of the army, and his teeth: will be treated free of charge. There is a rumor to the ef- fect that mep examined merely by a medical examiner are ordered to have strange and wonderful things done to their teeth, which do not nggd doing at all. It stands to reason that a dentist would koow better whem a man's teeth were in good condition, than a doctor would," explained one den- tist.

"Brothers, A story that is causing considerable amusement comes from Salisbury Plain from a soldier to his mother in Toronto, The two 'principals. in the anecdote are Lieut. Gerald Warner, of the 100th Srenadiers of Winnipeg, and Signaller Warner, of the 2nd Battalion, Ist Brigade, of the 1st Canadian Contingeat, who wrote the letter. Mrs, J. B. Warner, of To- ronto, the mother of both soldiers, re- ceived the letter, and tells the story. Signaller Warner received three days' leave of absence from Salisbury and having not seen London before, decided to spend his time there. Soon he found himself among the jostling crowds of Pleeadllly Clreus, and on all sides he was greeted with words of welcome. Quite suddenly, over the heads of ' the erowd he espied the kha- ki hat of a Canadian soldier. Keohiog his eye on the hat he drew slowly nearer, and suddenly, and to his very great surprise he found himself face to face with his brother----the superior officer, Lieut. Warner, of Winnipeg. Grinning, his hand flew to the salute, which was quickly returned by the of- cer. "Enjoying London?" queried the officer. "Yes, sir!" replied the signaller grinning, "It you care to see me drop around to the hotel," sald the officer, his face imperturbable, "Yes, sir!" again replied the sig- naller, The signaller clicked his heels to- ; gether, salut: offic - Then he has 16 ounces of potatoes, 8 | ed gravely, the op ye plied, and the two passed on their respective ways, Troubled by Conscience.

"Where's that ady orderly?" yelled an English officer, recently in headquarters. The orderly appeared. 'Say, you, why don't you clean up ta place occasionally?" ye the The orderly got busy. ' Who was he? Why, he is the son of a Cana- dian millionaire, who enlisted as a private for "the fun of the thing. When the officér was told the hame of thé private that he was ordering about he replied, "Ah there are lots of them around here. This war will make men of them."

Some years ago the 'Bathurst School Question" was a very live issued in the Province of New Bruns- wick, and the matter was finally taken to the Supreme Court of that province, The Protestants claimed that Mr. O'Brien, a trustee of the Bathurat schools, was unduly favoring the Catholic teachers and endeavoring to introduce religious teaching in the Public Schools. In to this part of the case, Judge Barker, the present chief justice, said: "It seems that he (O'Brien) was born a Roman Catholic, but after- wards became a member of the Church of England, to which he still belongs; his wife is a Catholic, and of his six children one-half are Ro- man Catholic and the other Protes- tant. One would suppose that a gen- tleman whose religious balance was #0 admirably adjusted had especial qualifications for a position in which the rule of the road required such strict observance: "Steer straight as the wind will-al- low; but be ready To veer just a point to let travelers pass, Each sees his own star--a stiff course is too steady When this one to Meeting goes--that one to Mass."
