Foreseeing the difficulty of obtaining fresh meat in the oc cupied territory, the Italians erected a refrigerating plant here, from which 42 tons of meat is despatched to the front daily on motor lorries, of which there are 5,000 employed uninterruptedly for the transport of supplies A quarter of a million pounds of four are daily needed by the field bakeries for bread, and not only this but also 60 tons of wood for fuel must be transported daily. Some 7.000 mules and camels are used for the final distribu- tion of supplies in the regions where there are as yet no roads and the fodder for them alone runs up to the same figure per week as the provendor for the troops, making a total of 4,000 tons of stores unloaded daily at Massawa.
