Medical supplies require ten entire I building for cots, litters, mattresses, i oxygen tanks and the great stocks of j hospital and medical supplies. The signal service has two large! buildings and much open storage, j with huge stocks of telegraph and: telephone wire for the army communi- j cation system which now spreads all j over France. | Ttio u-QPohniicp for fnnrl. Hrtt.hiner. and all quartermaster's supplies ex- j tend along a frontage of several miles, | all the buildings uniform, 500 by fifty! feet. Uniforms, clothing, flour and : wheat are called sack goods are kept under cover in the warehouses, but much of the stock in crates, boxes J and barrels is stacked along the depot: streets for miles. - | The one item ol^gasoline is a huge j thing owing to the part motor traction takes in warfare. In one month our army uses five million gallons, or | an average of five gallons a man for' an army of a million men. This means a steady movement of 10,000 j barrels a month. To step into the army refrigerator j on a hot. midsummer day is rather 1 a novel experience. The thermometer I was about 90 degrees as we went j through the yards, but as the colonel , opened a door of the big refrigerating 1" plant we were struck with an Arctic I chill of five degrees below zero?a j drop of So degrees as we crossed the | threshold . Inside the workmen were J bundled in fur coats wrapped around j their ears. The floors were slippery! with frost and the long ammonia j pipes above dripped frosted icicles | like stalactites in a cave. Frost an i inch deep covered the burlap cover-j ings of the big sides and quarters of beef and the beef itself was frozen . oc ctorin ov/nu ao oiuuc. | . Many of the workers in this place are from the big packing houses of Chicago. Besides more than a million pounds of frozen meat always on hand there is oleomargarine, butter, i ( lard and all kinds of fats. It is ar- | , ranged like a ship with water-tight1 j compartments, so that the freezing1 is carried only to those compart-! } ments required. Xo ice is used, as j the freezing process is carried out by {< the forcing of ammonia through pipes at a high pressure. The German prisoners' stockade < not far beyond. Here some 1,0001 j Germans are housed and fed, while they take part in the construction and warehouse work. Around the i stockade runs a wire netting fifteen s feet high, with a number of armed 1 iROLIN 41 ings npound epartme nyouwi i us To-C W.

The prisoners show no desire to get away, and when an exchange of prisoners was being carried out not long ago two of them actually broke down in tears at the thought of getting back to their native land. They sleep on cots and their rations are about the same as those furnished the labor troops. The German officers have their own barracks inside the stockade, wear their uniforms and medalso and have ralher comfortable equipment, with spring cots. The Thrift Programme.

April.?The emphasis of thrift in I "elation to democracy. May.?Plans for carrying on the summer activities. Alcoholic spirits have taken a back i seat. Patriotic spirit is the national stimulant these days. Steel and copper have each given lp a magnate to war industries. But silver and gold are paying for the var. || , j.
