An American Army Station.
r*> .?
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 .

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

guards.
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.
War savings in the schools is to be
given constant emphasis by the Division
of Education of the War Savings
Committee oh the Treasury Department.
The following tentative
thrift programme has been outlined
for the coming year; subject to revision
as new situations arise:
September.?Distribution of a bulletin
of supplementary number and
arithmetic problems arranged by
grades to present the importance of
thrift and war savings.
October.?The emphasis on elementary
problems requiring interest
computations on investments in War
Savings stamps.
November.?Study of the "War
Savings Primer/' showing the relation
ot saving money to saving iaDor ana
materials.
December.?The importance of
thrift and buying Government securities
interpreted in "Winning the
War," a play for the intermediate
and upper grades.
January.?The distribution of a
clearing house bulletin showing successful
methods and devices used in
the sale of stamps, and of "Written
English," containing a list of subjects
on thrift with unique methods of
interesting children.
February?Use of the "Thrift
Reader" to be sent free to all schools.
March.?A campaign to teach
children, by the aid of the Thrift
stamps and War1 Savings stamps, the
simple facts and principles related to
abor and capital.
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.
