Commissary Gen. Henry G. Sharpe is
the inventor of the war bread. AS head
of the commissary he has studied food
problems on a broad basis thr' world
around He found in France that the
army was making sort OF dry oread
that seemed greatly superior to our harG-
unbroken crust. 1t retained the moisture
of the interior for great length OF
time.
Upon the basis of this French bread was
begun the development of the bread that
has won the plaudits Of the army and
become a food deemed the best yet de-
veloped. The army bakers were started
on this bread and asked to improve it.
They tried various recipes, various meth

pease the insurgents.
In the meantime President Taft will

gin a series of maneuvers and return
soon to their posts. In addition to this
when conditions are normal In Mexico
a complete statement Of things which
actuated the mobilization of the
troops will be issued by the White
House.
The hope Of peace in Mexico also is
strengthened by the manner in which
the revolutionists have commented on
the magazine article Of Ambassador

OF expectancy with which the results
OF Senior Limantour's conferences In
Mexico City this week are awaited by

ORDERS CoUNTERMANDED
Radical Change In Movements OF Mo

Radical Change In Movements OF Mo-
hIized Troops In Texas.
San Antonio, Tex, March 21.-Some-
thing has happened in Washington,
or is happening there, to bring about
a radical change in orders regulating
the immediate movements OF the diyi-
sion of the army now modified on the
big plain at the Fort Sam Houston
reservation.
One squadron Of cavalry was wait
ing orders TO jump westward, and the
regimental commanders had reason to
believe that within a fortnight they
would be commanding their men on
campaign. Monday orders instituting
the partial and temporary disintegra-
ton OF the division were issued, and
the tIain which was to carry the
Eleventh cavalry to the Pecos river
still stands ready, but empty.
This sudden change, which Is
known TO have been dictated from
Washington, has left commanders and
privates equally on the raw edge OF
indecision.
The strongest indications that a
possible movement OF the troops to
the border or beyond within the next
few days had received countermand'
ing orders from Washington lay in
the announcement that General F. A.
Smith, commander Of the First bril-
gade, had been given permission to
march his brigade to Leon Springs
for maneuvers. This means that about
1000 men will be withdrawn from the
forces at Fort Sam Houston for q
week when the permission to move Is
carried out.
+ II any other element was needed for
eferyescence that same was furnished
by Senior Alfonso Madero, the head OF
the local insurrectionist junta, and
brother Of the provisional president
OF Mexico, Francisco Madero, the sol.
der.
When Senior Madero was found at
his home he said that he had some
real news from Washington.
From what | learn from the conf
Dental agent Of the provisional gov
eminent there" he said, Il am very
sure that within the week the United
States will recognize the belligerency
of the provisional government of Mex
leo"
When pressed for further details OF
this unusual prophecy, Senior Madero
smiled and shook his head. 1T Will
all come out in time" he added.
