Feeding a
Distant Armu.
How We Send Fresfi tot
to Our Phifippine
Troops.
B* Captain T. B. Francis.
The problem of feeding 20,000 sol
diers who are 10,000 miles away from
home is one which has ken given seri
ous attention by our military authori
ties. After several months spent in ex
perimenting and preparation a satis
factory solution has been reached. The
United States commissary department
is now equipped with the necessary ar
rangement to furnish our army in the
Philippines with just as good food as if
the regiments were scattered about at
the various home army posts.
The other day a vessel left for Ma
nila with 2,000,000 pounds of fresh
meat in her hold. This was the refrig
erator ship Glacier, which has recently
been acquired for this purpose. It is
the largest shipment of fresh meat ever
made to such a distant port. When it
reaches Manila, there will be joy in
the ranks of regulars and volunteers.
Fresh meat is something for which our
soldiers, and our sailors as well, have
been longing during the Philippine
campaign.
While the Glacier was loading at the
dock in Brooklyn recently one of her
officers on the Buffalo, lying near by,
received a letter from a brother officer
in Manila. “I'd give a fortune for a
prime rib roast,” said the faraway
writer.
So one of the last things which went
into the frigid hold of the Glacier was
a big, juicy cut of beef, frozen as hard
as a rock and bearing a tag which read:
FOR BILL MAHONEY.
A PLANO 19 FOLLOYHNG.
The Glacier really belongs to the
navy, but she has been temporarily
loaned to the commissary department
of the army for the present emergency.
She was originally built to carry fresh
mutton from Australia to England.
Although a fine looking craft with
good lines, she is really a huge floating

icebox. Beneath the white paint of
her hull are great cold storage rooms
running her entire length on several
decks. By means of the ammonia proc
ess, the same as used in breweries,
these decks are kept at a temperature
far below the freezing point. The pipes
which line ceilings and floors are cov
ered with boar frost, and when you go
dow'n into her hold you need an over
coat.
Even while sailing through the tropic
heat of the Suez canal the 'tween decks
of the Glacier will be just as cool as
when she started. For thousands of
miles her course will be through a re
gion where she will carry with her the
only refuge from sweltering heat to be
found within a week’s journey.
To make sure that the cargo will
reach Manila in good condition the en

esung.
A float with a number of refrigera
tor cars, reduced to the lowest possible
temperature by being packed with ice
and salt, was moored alongside tbe re
frigerating storehouse. The curs on the
float having been all filled, it was quick
ly ferried over to the navy yard and
hauled up alongside the Glacier.
Then one at n time the cars were
opened and the huge cranes set to work
lifting the quarters of beef and lower
ing them into the hold, where they
were carefully packed away in the
freezing atmosphere. Night after night
this process was repeated, 350.000
pounds of beef being packed away each
night. By the use of the refrigerator
cars for transporting across the river
not one of the quarters of beef was ex
posed to the air for more than ten min
utes.
From seven to eight days were con
sumed in loading the beef, all the rest
of the cargo having been put on hoard
first; then the hatches were closed air
tight, and the Glacier steamed away to
the hungry American fighting men on
the other side of the world.
A tremendous refrigerator storehouse
is now being completed on the wharf at
Manila for receiving the cargo of frozen
beef. It will not he exposed to the trop
ical heat of the Philippines for many
minutes —only long enough to put it
into the refrigerated,rooms.
