NO CHICKEN ON ARMY MENU.
Commissary General Also Reports Sub
stitute For Hardtack.

The elimination of chicken from the
army menu. the limitation of turkey
TO Thanksgiving and Christmas, the
substitution of so called field bread
for hardtack and abolishment of the
field ration sum up the important
changes in the army ration for the
American soldier made in the last year,
according to the report of Commissary
General Henry G. Sharpe. The elimi-
nation of chicken has resulted in a
yearly saving to the government of
$4,000.
1t costs the United States 1914 cents
a day more to feed the American sol
dier in Alaska than it did those sta
toned in the United States. This is
held to be due principally to the cost of
beef and its transportation to the iso
lated posts in the territory, The daily
average cost of the rations issued in
the United States alone was 22.75
cents, in Alaska $3.50 cents, in Hawaii
24.10 cents, in Porto Rico 2S72 cents,
aboard transports 1882 cents, for
American soldiers in the Philippines
24.56 cents and for the native soldiers
In the Philippines 1457 cents.

ADVISES VACCINATION
OF HIS EMPLOYEES
Secretary Wilson Warning on Typhoid.
Is Not Compulsory.

War on typhoid fever was declared
by the department of agriculture in a
recommendation approved by Secre-
tary Wilson that all the 1850 employ
ees Of the department be vaccinated
against typhoid.
Secretary Wilson's action followed
the report of a special committee of
three appointed by him to look into
the advisability Of recommending that
all the employees of the department
be vaccinated against the disease.
1t was explained that the department
cannot compel it's employees to submit
to the vaccination, but the department
expressed a strong hope that the re-
quest that the employees be vacci-
mated would be acceded to. Secretary
Wilson gave his hearty approval of
the plan. He pointed out that of the
1000 employees of the department
outside of the District of Columbia
many are engaged in travelling about
the country during at least a part of
the year. To protect them from the
dangers of impure water the vaccina-
ton against typhoid has been recon-
mended.
Secretary Wilson said that the sug-
gestion came from the war depart
ment. During the Mexican revolution
the war department had had many OF
the United States soldiers stationed
along the Mexican border vaccinated
against typhoid and those vaccinated
escaped the disease. while many of
those who were not suffered from ty-
phoid.

The most striking event or the

a view to the protection of Ameri-

imilian. Diaz, nominally the pre-
sident OF a Republic, has ruled
like a monarch and with an iron
hand cugbed the restless Latins
and the blind forces of ignorance
inseparabie from the character of
d population of mixed races, in
which the clement of the aborigi-
nal savage coursed most copious
in the blood Of that tropical con.
glomerate of humanity. But it is
realized that Diaz is nearing the
inevitable conclusion of his work
and worth in the affairs of Mexico.
The very fact that revolutionary
movements have started in various
parts of the republic and that the
insurrectionary disturbances have
been handled by the government
with an absence of the wonted
sternness of Diaz has alarmed the
powers of the world who are con-
cerned in the commercial stability
of a country "arvelloasly endow-
ed in the riches of mature. What
with the Monroe doctrine and the
immediate proximity of this Re-
public to Mexico, it has been as
sumed that of all nations all obli-
cation of the United States to save
property and wanton sacrifice of
life is paramount. knowledge of
the character of the Mexican PEG.
pie carries with it the unavoidable |
that with the death of
Diaz, or his incapacity from di-
sease or senility, the dissolution
of his regime will, unless prevep-
tive force be used, be attended by
results which will be calamitous
to life and proper:y. That is the
obvious explanation Of the pro-
lection of a United States army
