| The Commissary- General of the Army
! has had some tests conducted at Wash
| ington Barracks, this city, with a new
| form of bread, which shall serve as {
satisfactory substitute for hard bread
as part of the haverSack ration. Thi:
| is a yeast bread, made upon a recipe
which preserves its palatability, and al
the same time imparts to the article
the necessary keeping qualities. o.
course, it will take some time to dem.
onstrate that that characteristic ha:
been attained, but from present indica.
tions the Subsistence Department has
come upon a bread which is an i'm
provement on the well-known hard
| tack.
So far the new bread has been kept
more than month and remained in a
perfectly good condition 1t is intended
to be subjected to moisture for half a
minute and then dried on a fire, when
it has the appearance and favor of
fresh bread.
The commissary officers are also ex-
perimenting with a new can, in which
will be placed corned beef and corned-
beef hash The latter article is consid-
Grad q most desirable component of the
haversack ration, the composition of

the requisite stock to be obtained with
out trouble in the market. Other COM
ponents of the ration are also being de-
vised along lines which will permit
commercial manufacture, so that there
will be no difficulty in obtaining them
in times of emergency.
And now it looks as tho Congress
might adjourn by the 18th of July.
The British Embassy has authorized
a denial of the report that the Right
Hon. James Bryce. the British Embas-
sador to the United States, has written
to the British Foreign Office asking to
be recalled from Washington.
The Army headquarters are confront
ed with a scarcity in the market of
horses suitable for military purposes.
and 1t is particularly difficult to secure
good cavalry horses. Ten or IL years
ago there were plenty of cavalry horses
in Missouri and surrounding States, but
there is probably only one now where
there were 10 dozen years ago. The
Spanish-Am erican and the Boer wars
exhausted to large extent the supply
on hand. Since then the type of horse
suitable for cavalry use has not been
bred as extensively as formerly. Draft
horses and mules have apparently
proved more profitable to the farmer
The visible supply of cavalry horses
at the present time is small, and the
indications are that it will be smaller
in the future, while the demand will be
as great, if not greater, than in the
past, even in time of peace. In time Of
war it would. be practically impossible
to secure enough horses of the proper
type for our mounted service
This situation Shows the wisdom of
the cooperation between the War De-
partment and the Department of Agri-
culture in breeding cavalry horses and
of the establishment of the Army re-
mount depots at Fort Reno, Okla, and
Fort Keogh, Mont, where are trained
young horses which can be purchased
for less than mature horses.
Capt. John Pembroke Jones, the old
est graduate of the United States Naval
Academy at Annapolis and a veteran
of the Mexican and civil wars, died at
his home May 25.
He was born in Virginia in 1925, and
was graduated from the Naval Academy
In 1s47. He participated in the siege
ef Buena Vista as a Midshipman. At
the outbreak of the civil war he Joined
the Confederacy. In the battle between
the Monitor and the Merrimac Jones
was Executive Officer Of the Merrimac
Eight years ago a little child was
born in st. Mary's Hospital. in Chicago.
whose mother was a full-blooded Usage
Indian and whose father just a kid Of
a white boy. The parents Of both op-
posed the marriage, and the two eloped
and were married secretly. Being with
out funds when the baby was born the
parents permitted 1t TO be turned over
to a wealthy Chicago family for adop-
ton. They promised that the parents
should not know to whom the little girl
was given, and that they would give up
all future rights to her. For a year or
so the foster parents sent the real par
ents of the little girl information about
her: then all communication stopped,
and the child has apparently disap-
peared from the face of the earth so
far as her parents know. Salla, the
father of the child. thru the mother
became one of the richest squaw men
in that wealthiest tribe of Indians. 1t
will be remembered that in 1906 Con-
gress passed an act decreeing that all
moneys and annuities held in trust for
the Usage tribe be divided and appor-
toned to the members of the tribe who
were enrolled in the register not later
than June !, 1907 The total value of
little Mildred Sullas property amounted
10 $4,000. with a grant of $50 acres
of land In Oklahoma, undivided surplus
that is held in the Treasury, and the
annuitles accruing from oil and min
eral grants on the reservation. Little
Mildred was two years old when this
bill became a law. The parents de-
manded thru the physician who had
placed the child in the Chicago family
that she be returned to them. The
family that had adopted her sent back
word by the physician that the $175,-
600 was but drop in the bucket COM
pared with the wealth that they intend
ed to settle on the child and that they
were not willing to part with her. The
Interior Department has been unable
to do anything in this case, and, of
course, the parents are not able to Sc
cure the $175,000. They have employed
detectives to find the child. and have
spent over $4,000 In the search, but no
tangible clue has been secured. There
would not only be the $175,0O0 for the
girl, but there would be also sI75.O00
for the mother. thru whom the girl
would inherit, as the father is only a
squaw man, and this money is all tied
up because the kid can't be found. They
let her go in their hour of adversity.
and then, when they found that she
