I Tanks, machine IONDON. airplanes to the guns contrary, an army still travels bn its stomach. And in wartime, it's still the folks back home who must tighten their belts and make the most of a weekly food ration that lets them up from the dinner table minus that "satisfied feeling." America's World war food restriction, which featured "meat- less," "wheatless" and "sweet-less- " days, were child's play compared to restrictions now imposed on - S ' 1 CANNED BREAD Strange foods arise in time of war. This English lady is packing bread in hermetically sealed tins.' It tastes like toasted bread and keeps civilians in Germany. Here's the rations for one week: Meat, including the precious sausage, 17 Vi ounces, including the bone. Butchers are reported trying to sell pig heads because bones will then be reckoned as only 10 per cent of the weight. Fats, 80 grams, or less than three ounces of butter; four ounces of margarine or oil, two ounces of lard, bacon or tallow, and two ounces of cheese. Sugar, about nine ounces; syrup or jam, 3 ounces. Bread, five German pounds, reduced if the rationee buys flour. Coffee's a Fake. Groceries, 25 grams (or less than an ounce) of barley, yellow corn, flour, rice, oats, spaghetti or similar foods; 25 grams of starch products; four ounces of coffee substitute. Skimmed milk, all you want. Regular milk, a pint and a half daily for children up to six years old; half pint daily for older children, and a pint daily for pregnant women and young mothers. Flour, less than a pound a week. Soap, one piece of utility soap and 2Vi ounces of toilet soap. Shaving soap, one stick a year. Potatoes and onions are not rationed, and Germans can buy all the fish they want except that none are available. This winter there'll be one egg a week for every German. But food prices, both in Germany and Britain, are kept low. Germans who are able try to supplement fundamental foods with high grade vegetables. Britain Has Full Larder. By contrast, France has no food problem, being principally an agricultural nation. And Britain, although she has distributed ration cards, has vast amounts of foods stored in her larder. Moreover she Is still able to import while Germany is hemmed in by a blockade. Probably the Reich can count on Russia for some raw materials, but not unless she can supply the Soviet with manufactured items in return. And German factories are kept busy turning out war supplies. The importance of food in winning a war is not overlooked by military experts, who agree that victory always goes to the nation with the greatest physical resistance. This is a psychological factor, too, for a well-fe- d soldier at the front goes weak when he learns that his family he not made that appeal. Yet in 1920 there was no doubt whatever that resentment against Person the Wilson Administration for geta big ting us into the war played part in rolling up that tremendous majority against James M.

That is one reason Germany has cut off all communications between civil and military groups during the present war. Reich in Bad Spot. It was food that won the World var, and Germany is making a bad start in the new conflict. For in 1918, at the very end of the last war, Great Britain was eating better than the Germans are today. Then Britain's weekly domestic consumption of meat per person was 1.54 pounds. There was pound of sugar, .45 of a pound of fat and 6.57 pounds of white bread and flour. Contrast this with Germany's current rations. On the other hand, the Reich is accustomed to thin diets. Ever since National Socialism came into power it's been a choice between butter and guns, and guns have usually won. Several weeks before the current hostilities began, German housewives were ordered to limit their weekly purchases. Hence the people are psychologically and physically prepared for food rationing, having learned from experience how to get the most nourishment from the least amount of food. Americans would probably starve on the same diet. one-ha- lf 1IA if r A fe up has-bee- n & ; . Mechanized Warfare Rolls on Wheels But You Can t Beat Horses in a Pinch u? Europe Again Clamors for U.

The army mule and cavalry horse have come into their own again despite a lot of talk about mechanized armies, and the United States may once more become the source of supply for France, Britain iJ and other nations, just as it was during early days of the World war. But while foreign buyers are scouring farms and ranches of. the West for war horses and pack mules, there are at least two elements working against them. First, there are only about half as many horses to choose from as in 1914-1Second, the American Humane society hopes to shut off even that supply. A few weeks ago it asked President Roosevelt "in the name to include aniof humanity mals in the list of supplies that may not be supplied to belligerents." r rf) ilfv !) ' Mlk T. 8. ...

This 50 per cent decline is attributed to mechanization of the farm, a movement in which tractors and trucks are cultivating, hauling and plowing where horses and mules formerly supplied the motive power. Riding Horses in Poor Shape. More important, the type of animal has" changed. There are plenty of heavy draft horses nowadays, but tfiese are too slow and eat too much for army use. The buyers would find a fairly good supply of medium-size- d draft horses, suitable for pulling guns and wagons, but there are only 4,500,000 animals in the entire Old shell-pocke- FEEL GO0I -- -v Oil, FOR A MULE'S LIFE!

And most of these riding horses are too old or too young, too light or too unsound for the heavy tasks of waging war. Horse cavalry regiments are still an important unit of the average mechanization. army, despite France has 42 such regiments against only five regiments of mechanized cavalry. Germany has 17 horse cavalry regiments and England has only five, principally because she fears she would be unable to obtain a continuous supply of animals. Canada, oddly enough, has only two such regiments, while Italy maintains 12. Japan, which has no mechanized cavalry, maintains 25 mounted regiments. The late Polish cavalry, counted on to raid German troops in the recent eastern war had the autumn rains arrived on time, was the world's finest. Russia, big in everything, has no less than 90 horse cavalry regi ments ready u take the field. Exports Up in 1914. During the World war American horse exports jumped from 22,776 in the year ending June 30, 1914, to 189,340 in the following year. Of this latter number, France took 130,000 head; England bought Canada, 53,036; Italy, 83,-83- 9; 20,634-Scotlan- 6,908. As war continued, the demand became greater. Private ranch stock and riding horses went under the hammer and in the year ending June 30, 1916, exports reached the peak of 357,553 head. The following year the United States shipped 136,698 head of mules, but after that our own army took all surpluses. The recent Polish war, in which the vanquished army depended so much on its cavalry, did not disprove the value of animals in combat against mechanized forces, for had the conflict lasted longer inclement weather would undoubtedly have placed heavy tanks and troop trucks at a disadvantage. 1 -- oUJT - , .
