CHICAGO, April 4. — It costs more

nent of the forage division has just
been effected, whereby Chicago is
msdc the forage purchasing centre fo»*
all of America's armed forces.
“From the Phillipine Island to the
coast of Maine, from the Gulf of
Mexico to Montreal, America is col-1
looting forflge for army horses snd
mules,” he said. “Every' oantonment
and military station in the country',
as well as all United States Overseas!
foi-ces, depend upon this office for
thoir hay, oats and straw
•*Pui*chasing of forage supplies is
much more complicated than in any
other army branch. For example,
when a supply of frozen beef is need
ed, it is only necessary to see five or
six firms, because these firms are prac
tically the only one from which the
beef can be obtained. Consequently
the purchase is quickly afTected.
“In the forage branch, however, we
are faced with a much more perplex-:
ing problem. Our purchases must be
made direct from dealers, and there
are thousands of them. We pick up a
carload of hay here, another some
where else. This not only necessitates
n lar re v.ame of correspondence hut
complicates our work. Of one thing
we may be proud, however; there has
been no trouble whatever in getting
supplier and there is no stortage in
this country of the things needed in
«ur department.”
The forage division supplies straw
for the beds of soldiers, a large
amount being required for this pur
pose alone.

U-BOAT WAS
SNARED BY
BRITISHERS
AMSTERDAM, April 4. — A Dutch
newspaper priTits the story of a Ger
man U-boat which was caught in a
British trap and towed into a British
port. Thp story conies from a member
of the U-boat’s crew who escaped
from England and is interned in Ho*- |
land.
*‘We hid sighted some English fioh
ing boats off the English coast and
were maneuvering for attack, when ,
their curious movements led us to »
suspect a trap, so we dived. We pro-,
ceeded slowly, but presently the
screws began to oeat irregularly, and
the commander could not make out
what had happened.
“After about two hours the water
seemed curiously still, and the com
mander decided to come to the sur- i
face. When we emerged we were
alongside a quay where stood a num- j
ber of smiling British sailors. Wi. ;
were in a British port, towed in like a ,
dead lish.”
