Correspondence of The Associated Press) : Less spectacular than the continued arrival of American troops and. their occupation of a definite front seectcr, yet in its way quite as important for their "success, has beén -the steafly development of the -intricate sysiem of keeping them in all' the hundred and one supplies that they muét haye. Public attention. of course has been mainly riveted on two things—the ag- rival of the troops themselves, 4nd the arrival of their supplies. Pace pace with the increasing - training camps there has grownm up a storage, transportation and - distribution sys- tem that not only accurately and efficiently supplies the needs of all our soldiers, but that is: continually being enlarged against future needs. Nei- ther troops nor supplies can come t60 fast for it. x The various functions of the sys- tem— Dakery, refrigerating plant, warehouses for clothing, non-perish- able foods and similar supplies, and the main distributing plant—are lo- cated for convenience sake in three towns or, cities’ situated respectively at the three corners of an obtuse. tri- angle, and near enough to the train- ing camps and front so that \supplies can reach the farthest points in 24 hours. An ever-increasing force of men is employed in the task of keeping the fighting man supplied with all he needs. .How well they succeed is at- tested to by the splendid physicai condition ‘of the tréops in camp and at_the front. No link in the chain between Port in France” and-the American front is, perhaps, more interesting than the bakeries.

For a time the troops, however, had to eat the dark French bread—until bakeries could be established.

The.cottagers concentrated on growing of btliadonna and henbane, and last year their crops vielded £6,- 000. The value in 1915. when they started the culture, which is on co- operative lines, was £2. Until the outbreak of war the medicinal herb was little known in England. “There are only these things T want to make me really happy,” wrote a Tommy in Mesopotamia to’'a Midland depot .which supplies soldiers’ com- forts. ‘‘They are a bit of soap, a fly net, and a mouth-organ.” They were sent, and.the soldier in reply, says: “1 feel like a new man.
