Mr. Thorne assumes he is entitled

However, the records in the Office Of

this absence OF authorization into

Distribution of Work.
The navy yard has declared its ability
to make the number Of guns allotted
as Its share of the complement. The
Watervliet arsenal of the army ordnance
department has undertaken to construct
the twenty additional two-inch guns and
six Of the ten additional fourteen inch
guns. Two fourteen-inch guns are to De
made by the Midvale Steel Company and
the other two fourteen-inch guns at the
Bethlehem Steel Company.
The Navy Department decided on thi.
distribution of the work in the pas,
few days. The Washington navy yard
however, has been at work on it's part
of the award for several months.
Forgings Still Needed.
Forgings for some of the guns are
still needed. Bids have been invited

No decision has yet been reached, but a

The government has suggested two

Back Of the recalling Of Gen. Bernardo
Reyes there may be a political signif-
canoe deeper than is apparent. 1t may be
that there is an understanding that in

enthusiasm in the army than can any
other man in Mexico. and II Madero wants

the direction of Reyes, find opposition

This IS the popular opinion. and ofhctal
Mexico, considering that Madero is in q
predicament, is inclined to chuckle. al
though discreetly.
It is recognized there will be work for
Reyes, even II the agreement OF peace
be signed. 1t is not improbable that such
rebel leaders as Luis Moya In Durango
and General Figeruoa in the south will
recognize the terms Of the agreement
and cease fighting, but 1t is difficult to
imagine a sudden cessation of all dis
turbances.
