(By mail to New York).--Probably no army in the world, ac tually in the field, was ever better fed than is that of toe Allies. ' , Every French soldier in the field is entitled to 23 1-3 ounces of breaifl day; 3 1-3 ounces of rice, beans or peas; 10 ounces of meat; 1 1-3 ounce a of sugar; one ounce lard; 2-3 ounce salt ahd a little more than 2-3 ounce of coflfee. ;; ::'"';'-;v- '" Tl'fcrtfclesVoWHW tiffi"Taily ratiotv under ordinary conditions. There are times, however, when cir- , cumatances are extraordinary, when freed meat, new bread, dried vege tables and regular coffee can not be delivered daily to the soldiers. Un der such conditions the French fight ing man falls back, on his "reserve" ; rations, which are: -.C -- ' Ten ounces of "biscuit," or "war bread" as hard tack is known in the French army; 10 ounces of canned meat; 2 2-3 ounces of sugar 1 2-3 ounces of soup essence, in cube form; 1 1-4 ounces of essence of coffe, also in cube form, and .0625 litre (1-16 of a quart) of brandy. Back of the fighting line the French soldier has never, had to fall back on his the coffee bean; his fresh bread and the rest. Furthermore these things are quite good. I have lived for days with the private soldiers and eaten their food, so can give par sonal testimonial as to its excellence I have eaten their "reslbrve" food also, their canned meats ("monkey, meat' the soldiers call it) and tackled their hard tack; drunk their "cuh;" coffee and perhaps of the 'bullion made of their soup cubes. It is all wholesome and nutritaus. The bran dy is good and stimulating and, ad ministered In medicinal doses, as the good Marianne of France adminaterr it, can not harm the brave fellows standing in trenches which are hot and cold at one and the same time. Some of this brandy is of the "calva dos" brand and is made of fine, lusty apples, and in sipping it, the smell and taste of the apple are quite no ticeable. The re victualing of the Allies, un der ordinary circumstances, is car ried on by England and France sepa rately. That is France feeds her own troops and England feeds hers. It rarely happens though the circum stance, Is not unknown that French have to feed the English or vice versa. The English eat more tinned foods , than the French, one reason being their means of transport is more difficult They also consume tea in enormous quantities whereas the French are little addicted to the tea habit In France I heard this story of an English mother who had just received a letter from her son at the front: - "My poor boy!" the mother distract ed exclaimed, "he is undergoing en ormous sacrifices and hardships. He writes me that a few days ago he was obliged to go from 9 o'clock in the morning until six that evening .- . 1 "... . , . , , - v SCARBOROUGH IN THE DARIN G , " ' ' ' j , tfti 1' NEWEST PHOTOGRAPH 0F This is the latest and best photo- j graph of Chancellor Bethmann-Holl- j weg yet published in the United , oiaies. it snows mm in his neia unifonn with the ribbon of the Iron Cross on Ws coat The cross is hid den under the coat 1 , Through the many changes re ported, and which have taken place t without lunch ami no tea was served that day at all!"

If you have ever seen a picture of a French sol dier in full marching order you have noticed this utensil strapped to the top of his knapsack. He eats his meals with his pocket knife or fingers un less !he has provided himctelf with one of the many varieties of collap sible knives and forks. ' . - But where all does this food' come from: How does it arrive at the front. How is the food collected and handled; who baked this bread, where and how? In France there are some 20 revic- Kualing stations well out of harm's way back of the line. Then there is what is called a "control," which bu reau unifies the thing and prevents too much of any material going to one station and, too little to an other. Long before war was declared the war department . had tabulated the average output of food stuffs in each department of France. It was - un derstood that, in case -of war, 'each department was to furnish so much of this or that article. The thing works automatically now that it -is started, the government paying the departments for everything as it is bought. . The departments send to pie-arranged destinations, otherwise to a certain one of the score of re victualing stations. v" Coffee, tea, part of her flour and so on, France buys abroad and the revictualing stations are supplied from central warehouses in the vari ous ports. :(, . The revictualing stations , handle flour, but not wheat The flour is made into bread at these' stations, Uens of- gigantic ovens, in long rows being employed, soldiers, formerly bakers, doing the work. The flour goes first to the station warehouses, upon its arrival. . From theie it is taken to a "standardizing" room above the mixing pans. '. In this room, flours from the United States, South America, , Canada, Russia, x ranee and elsewhere, are mixed, or blended so that the quality wiH al ways be the same; were this not s one soldier would get a loaf .of su perb white bread while hisY4gunkie got a dark-looking and less Mlat- able loaf. By blending the flour of all nations, the ultimate loaf is stand ardized. The four is poured out upon a metal covered floor and mixed with shovels, r '.VVI. ' Nearby, are holes in the floor. These holes are chutes leading to the giant, cast-iron dough-mixers below. These mixers are steam-operated, great paddles and wheels turning and working the dough to the proper con sistency. Once properly worked the bread is put into a ; basket holding about 200 pounds, and passed on to ure weigners ana tnen to the ovens. I have the word of the soldiers then- selves that they get all they want to eat and that what they, get is "good." Read the advertisements, too.
