San Antonio. Tex, March 25.-Uncle
Sam is not taking any chances on the
possible spread of dicease in the mill
tary camp at Fort Sam Houston.
While the story is general among re-
cruits that one of the reasons for the
mobilization Of the army here is on ac-
count OF the healthful conditions every
precaution is taken to prevent an out
break of disease of any kind. About
the busiest thing in the camp is the
anti-typhoid fever bacillus. Soldiers
after being introduced to this are ex-
cused from duty for forty-eght hours
and given an opportunity to get
thoroughly familiar with the manners
and customs of their new acquain-
lance. Upon the whole. however. the
soldiers here are unusually healthy,
nothing more serious than the measles
and humps having made appearance
in the camp. Tents pitched upon high
rolling ground with an abundance of
pure water. access to baths. and splen-
did drainage are responsible for the
excellent health of the troops.

SIX MILLIONAIRES
IN FRENCH CABINET
american News Service)

Paris, March 25.-France's new cab
met has an interesting personal side.
There are six millionaires in it-mil-
Monis, Nj. Berteaux, M. Callieux, and
three of the minor ministers.
A curious popularity of the new
ministry is that seven of the minis
ters and three under secretaries of
state, have never been in power be-
fore. Another peculiarly is that there
are eight representatives of the south
of France, five of the center, one of
the west, and two of the east, in the
cabinet, and that the north of France
is not represented at all.
All Paris is laughing at the narrow
escape of NJ. Masse, the new minister
of commerce Just before he received
the offer of his portfolio from the new
prime minister, NJ. Masse wrote an ar
ticle for the Lanterne in which he was
exceedingly plain spoken about NJ.
Monis and his attempt to form cab
met. In the evening Nine. Masse ar
rived in great haste at the Office of the
Lanterne to ask for her husbands ar
ticle, which for private reasons, he
did not wish to be printed.
Since writing it, M. Masse had been
offered a portfolio in the cabinet he
had attacked so eloquently, and he has
accepted it.

The women were taken to the arsen-
al There they remained two days.
The nuns had taken very little with
them, and their property was confis-
Gated by the government. Before their
hurried flight they had gathered $as,-
900 belonging to the order and took
it with them. While they were In tho
arsenal they were robbed of the mon
ey. While they were protected from
the people their treatment in the ar
senal was not of the best. They were
always the object OF jeers, coarse jests
and insults. On the third day permits
sion was given them to go to the con.
vent of Bon Secours, nearer Lisbon.
They made this journey in motor cars.
They were next sento Lisbon. ar
irving there on the day the steamer
was to sail for England. They were

each nun should be deporred to the
country from which she came The

The expulsion OF the nuns from Az

Paris, March 25.--Old cannon to tbs
extent of 800 tons are to be turned
into new pence and half pence as
quickly as possible. In Paris. for
some unexplained reason, the French
copper coinage has way of disap-
pearing and at the present Woment
the mint finds it necessary to give us
$500, 900 worth of new pence and half
pence.
For this purpose the war Office has
made a present to the mint of the old
cannon which are in the forts in ana

ticular value.
This is the first time since the revol-
ution that French cannon have been
melted down and made into money.
