PROJECTILES SENT
TO San ANTONIO
Ammunition for Artillery
Rushed to the Front.
BRIGADES TO MAKE "HIKE"
Entire Force to March from Place
of Detrainment to Leon Springs,
and Rear Guards Thrown Out to
Protect Camp from Surprise.

San Antonio, Tex, March 14-That the
War Department is rushing several large
consignments of projectiles and other ar
tillery ammunition and supplies to San
Antonio, where the Third and Fourth
toned as part of the maneuver division
under the command of Maj. Gen. William
H. Carter, became known as a positive
fact in certain quarters at Fort Sam
Houston to-day. They were shipped out
of Philadelphia in consignments of three
and four cars each.
AS result of the developments at Fort
Sam Houston maneuver camp to-day, the
indications are the soldiers and war ships
of the United States navy, mobilizing at
Galveston on hurry-up orders, will not be
called upon to defend that city from a
mimic attack. Instead. for the time be-
ing at least. the division will be kept in
close proximity to the Mexican border
notice.
Soldiers to Make ''HTke.o
This was made apparent when Gen
Carter to-day issued orders for brigade
marches from San Antonio to the United
States army maneuver grounds at Leon
Springs, forty-five miles west. Each bri-
gade will make this hike" and follow
ing that the entire division win be put
in operation with the same destination IN
view. No explanation is given for the
change in plans.
That the maneuvers are only as a
training for the army was the assertion

Money. of Mississippi. Senator Money
admits ignorance of the real measure of
the mobilization. but said that from con-
versation with President Taft and Secre-
tary of State Knox, he is sure that no
invasion OF Mexico or no demonstration
against Japan is intended
Supplied with Tobacco.
The demand of the soldiers for chew
ing tobacco is to be supplied. There was
at Fort Sam Houston to-day
5000 pounds Of plug tobacco. This is only
a months supply. About 50 per cent of
the soldiers use tobacco in some form,
more smoking cigarettes than chewing.
1t is estimated it will require a million
cigarettes a week to supply those now in
camp. Tobacco is not supplied. the SOL
diers purchasing it at their own expense
from the army commissary or in the city.
The bakeries at the maneuver grounds
are now in operation, and are turning
cut $4,000 one-pound loaves every day.
There is a lack Of proper tentage for
the soldiers of the camp, and a num-
ber are forced to use the small ''dog
tents under which it is necessary to
crawl. This was due to the failure to
arrive Of thtrty-one freight cars loaded
with tents These are expected every
and then proper accommoda-
tons will be given the soldiers.
Maj Gen. Carter has established him /
self on the field and taken personal COM
nand of the situation. To-day advance
and rear guards were thrown out, and |

against attack from front or rear, or |
from surprise, was taken. This gives |

States shall dominate this hemisphere or

countries which we refuse to permit to

Reserve Supply Depots Necessary.
Mr.. Huidekoper calls attention to the
fact that it was necessary to virtually
strip a large number of the army posts
of the country and transport men long
distances in order to effect a mobiliza-
ton of one-fourth Of the army along the
Mexican border. His formal contention
that the infantry Is the backbone of any
army he says is upheld by the fact that
artiI1erymen had to be placed under small
arms in order to make up an appreciable
infantry at the various posts to form
the nucleus of another division. He as
serts that there is to be brought home
keenly to the people the necessity for
the establishment of large reserve sup
ply depots at supply centers throughout
the country, where they could best be
employed in all mobilization and concen-
tration of the regular army and the
militia.
Efficient Railroad Men Wanted.
"Of course, the United States army in
mobilizing has much to contend with
that does not affect the armies of Eu-
rope" continued Mr.. Huidekoper. ''Other-
wise, the fact that a solid week was con-
sumed in gathering 10000 men in Texas
could hardly be considered anything but
a shortcoming. Distance and railway a.
commodations are strong factors in this
country which initiate against rapid
concentration. Troops ordered to San
Antonio from Fort Russell, Wyo.,
were seven days in reporting for serv-
ice. This emphasizes the need of closer
attention TO railway problems by the
army. 1t would be Of great advantage
if there could be incorporated into the
army men who were possessed of expert
ence as traffic managers. We had a few
of these during the civil war. Eventually
they became railway presidents of promi

personal inspection along the border near
Eagle Pass had confirmed the informa-
ton which had been given to him.
The word received from the south is
that the condition of Chihuahua, the
capital city, is much graver than the in
telligence heretofore allowed to pass by
the Diaz officials has indicated. Chihua-
hua was cut of completely from rail
and wire communication with the out
side world for more than two weeks, and
now there is every indication that the
garrison of $500 federals locked up In the
town will face a revolt from within.
Report of the concerted movement out
side the city to the north and east has
penetrated to the besieged town, and the
time has almost come when a handful
of federals there will have to confront
foes in the streets of the city itself.
The federals, so the report has it be-
lieve that they can stick 1t out for two
months, although food and fuel in Chi
huahua are almost gone.
The smelling and refining company in
Chihuahua, which employees 600 men, now
has fuel enough to last its operations for
only one week longer. It will close down
it's plant on Monday, and its operatives
will find themselves unemployed.
Along the line of the Mexican Railroad

ONE HUNDRED REBELS
KILLED AT CASAS GRANDES

Mexico City, March 1.-THE govern
ment to-day issued an official statement
regarding the recent battle between the
forces of Madero and Col. Cuellar at
Casas Grandes. 1t states that the rebels
lost 100 killed and an equal number of
prisoners, besides having captured from
them four wagons laden with army sup
plies and ammunition, 400 horses with
saddles, and other equipments, two rapid
fire guns, and a large number of Win
chester rifles.
The government losses are not given
out, but it is learned officially that Col
Cuellar was wounded so severely in the
arm that he was compelled to have 1t
amputated to-day. His condition is not
regarded as serious.
Col Rabago, who has been operating
near Juarez, has been promoted to be a
brigadier general for bravery on the field
of battle.

WASHINGTON CLERGYMEN
AGAINST MORMON ACT
Pastors of All Denominations Resent Effort to Place
POygamous Silver Service on Battle Ship Utah.

Washington clergymen of every denom-
ination are up in arms against the pro-
posed acceptance by the government Of
the silver service bearing the insignia
of the Mormon Church, to be presented
by the State of Utah to the United
States battle ship bearing that name.
Backed by the hearty approval of
clergyInen throughout the city, the Pres
byterian ministers, who met at the New
York Avenue Presbyterian Church on
Monday and protested to President Taft
against the acceptance of the silver ser
vice by the government. as announced
exclusively in The Washington Herald,
are even more determined than ever to
arouse public sentiment, on the grounds
that the acceptance will mean the ac-
knowledgment of a federation between
church and state.
Mgr. RusseIl's Views.
Mgr. William T. Russell, pastor Of the
St. Patrick's Catholic Church, said last
night: 81 am decidedly opposed to it. 1
am very glad that the Catholic Church, as
whole, can safely agree with the Pres
byterian ministers, that the acceptance of
this gift by the government would mean
the recognition Of the Mormon Church. I
am opposed to the government recog-
nizipg church that has borne so much
stigma in its past"
THE government ought not to accept
any favors at all from the Mormons,"

THE CASE IN A NUTSHELL.

Through the whole undertak-
ing the American people will be
brought face to face with the
fact that eventually they must
prepare themselves to police the
whole western hemisphere or
back down on the Monroe doc
trine.
Conditions should be greatly
bettered. If they are not bet
tered the Monroe doctrine must
go. 1t will be shown that the
time has come for the people to
decide, through their representa-
tives in Congress, whether they
intend that the United States
shall dominate this hemisphere or
whether we are to back down on
the proposition of saying hands
off, to the rest of the world.

Rev. DR.. Herbert Scott Smith, pastor
of st. Margarets Episcopal Church, was

Tho Jewish Petach, better known Is
the Feast of the Passover, commences
at sundown on Friday, April 14tb, and
will continue until April 2lst.
The Passover is in commemoration ef
the exodus of the children Of Isreal
from Egypt.
In ancient Jewish life, it was the
first OF the three Purim festivals u pom
which every male Jew was required to
present himself in person at the central
sanctuary In Jerusalem. Although the
Passover has certain features in com
mon with the universal Spring festival
it is its historical significance which
gives it lasting vitality. 1t is the great
Independence Day of the Jew; the tirst
event in his national history, an event
which became fundamental in all lis
thinking too, as evidenced by the
frequent reference to the great deliver
ance. The festival is ushered in by a
family service, called the Seder, at
which certain symbolic ceremonials are
observed. Each participant and the
lowest is privileged to sit at the able
that nights required to drink four
cups Of wine, memory of the four
promises made by the Eternal to
redeem lsrea from bondage. On the
talk, are the unleaven cakes lMatzos)
the shin-bone Of lamb roasted on the
Goals, commemorative of the Paschal
sacrifice, roasted egg, mixture Of
apples and nuts, tBha, osetb), to symbo-
lie the mortor with which the "Egyp.
tians made bitter the lives" Of the IA
theirs, and bitter herbs (Maror) remini-
scent of the unhappy daysin Egypt. In
song and story, the tale Of the oppTes-
sion and the deliyerance is rehearsed.
Psalms of thanksgiving (Halle), strik
the keynote Of the happy occasion
The services, interrupted for the fam
iiy dinner, closes with merry folk
songs, expressive of the character of
the celebration.
During the festival, unieavened
bread is eaten instead OF the usual
lesven. In orthodox homes, great care
Ia taken that all traces of leaven be re-
moved before the beginning Of the
festival Sets Of dishes, otherwise un-
used are provided.
S. rvices are held in the synagogues
and sermons preached in keeping with
this thoughts Of tho festival. Excepts
from, or, in some cases, the VIII le OF
the book OF The Songs Of Songs are
read.
