SUPPLIED WITH FIELD BREAD.
One Garrison Quickly Prepared 70,
Duty on the Border.

When the recent orders went out from
the general staff here for the mobile army
to be prepared for immediate dispatch to
the Mexican border line one Of the gar
risons carried its preparations SO far as
to have baked $500 pounds Of the So
called field bread" recently adopted by
the commissary department to be fed to
troops while In the field. During the
time the troops remained in readiness for
trip to the border-line they ate this
bread, baking an amount each day to re-
plenisIl that which was eaten.
Brig. Gen. Sharpe, commissary general
Of the army, regards this as an excellent
showing for the new substitute for hard
tack" The commissary department has
also discovered way of economizing
space in the baking of this bread-that is,
by increasing the size OF the loaves from
two to four pounds
Field bread differs from ordinary
bread only in the baking. 1t is placed in
slow oven so that very thick crust is
formed. and little moisture remains in
the dough. The heavy crust is needed in
order that the bread may be packed In
troop wagons without being mashed. as
would be the. case with ordinary bread.
The field bre d" retains its palatabiiity
for about fifteen days.

TYPHUS FEVER.
By Frederic ]. Haskin.

these pests for the disease makes clear
many points concerning which there was
mystery years ago. For instance, typf1us
fever does not exist in low. tropical re-
gions It is essentially disease of the
highlands in tropical countries and Of
cool climates. This is accounted for by
the fact that the body parasites will not
flourish in hot regions. The Identification
OF typhus fever in the United States and
or the means of its transmission puts
dinerent light on many of the mysteri-
GUS eepidemics variously known as ''Jail
FEVER and ship fever" 'putrid fever"
and the like. Such epidemics have not
occurred except in insanitary surround
ings and where all the laws of personal
hygiene were wholly neglected.
The frst recognized outbreak of typhus
fever Is believed to have occurred in
Cyprus In the tirst quarter of the six
seenth century, an epidemic which later
swept over all Italy. 1t was this disease
which ravaged the army Of Charles v
at the siege of Metz. In 1S16-1S1S typhus
ragged throughout England and ireland.
In Dublin third Of the population was
attacked. In 1S46-1S47 there were 1,3OO-
GOO cases In England and ireland. In the
Russian army during the Turco-Russian
war more than one-half the entire force
was attacked. Over 10000 contracted the
disease and nearly half died. It is now
practically unknown in the armies of the
leadin nations.

MEMBERS OF HOUSE
REPLY TO Mr.. BRYCE
Do Not Think Congress Has
Been NegIecting Needs of
the District.

The remarks of James Bryce, the Brit
ish ambassador before the Board of
Trade last Thursday night indicating his
belief that Congress was in the habit of
sighting the National Capital seems to
have annoyed several members of the
House.
"A statement of this kind" suggested
Representative Foster of Illinois. doesn't
sound well when coming from the am
bassador of another nation. 1t seems to
me hardly fair that any member of the
diplomatic corps. particularly when he Is
not versed with all phases of the situa
ton, should take upon himself the right
to criticise Congress.
I'VE recognize Ambassador Bryce as
great and able man. Undoubtedly his
statements were predicated upon misln.
formation"
Representative Kahn of California,
ranking republican member of the Dis
trict committee. said he didn't want t.
criticise the ambassador. but thought
Congress- was doing pretty well by the
District of Columbia.
I'm the last few years." he said, Con
sress has erected the two Office buildings,
the National Museum, the new Depart
ment of Agriculture, the Union station,
and has made plans for the erection of a
Justice and one other building. Besides
these, there is the new Columbus monu.
Eent in front of the Union station, TIL,
Grant monument facing the Capitol and
the Lincoln Temple, with the proposed
George Washington Memorial Hall
I'm every one of these projects Con-
gress has given aid. 1t has also looked
to municipal improvements.
Much Done for City.
when one considers the actual
achievements in this city the list be-
comes SO formidable as to disprove, with<
out further comment, the statement that
Congress does not look after the District
There is not a member of Congress who
does not take a personal pride in this
city and who does not desire to see it
grow
From what 1 have SEEM said Repre-
sentative Prouty of Iowa, new member
of the House District committee, Il am
satisfied that members of Congress de-
vote all the time they possibly can spare
to the needs of the District, and when
ever the Treasury warrants it this city
s given every improvement that is need
ed to enhance it's beauty and add to its
growth

PLANNING RESERVE FLEETS.
Some Good Vessels to Be Utilized
in This Wav.

Many fine vessels are to go into the
reserve fleets, under the terms of orders
issued by the Navy Department. When
Rear Admiral Alfred Reynolds takes
command Of the Pacific reserve fleet, at
Puget Sound, March 1o. he will have In
his command the Pennsylvania, Oregon.
Raleigh and ST. Louis. six more ships
will be added as they become available
namely, the West Virginia. Milwaukee.
Charleston. Chattanooga, Galveston and
Cleveland.
The Atlantic reserve fleet will be organ
lied about May at the navy yard, Phil
adelphia, under command Of Rear Ad-
miral Austin M. knight. The forma-
ton Of reserve fleets. into which vessels
not in active service or undergoing re-
pairs will be placed, Is a distinct advance
in our naval policy. While these fleets
will have reduced crews, they will have
all their stores on board and can be
sent to sea at short notice.
Each Of the ships will make a short
cruise, during which steaming trials and
target practice will be held The regu a.
lions prescribing the routine Of drills,
care and maintenance are so comprehen-
sive as to prevent the deterioration to
which ships are subject when out of COM
mission, and will necessarily keep them
in most efficient condition.

IL. then, is the situation the mill
owners Of Lawrence are facing alone.
This is the problem the settlers are try
ing to settle. How are they doing it?
Well. for one thing, they are trying to
effect their settlement through the Cen
trail Labor Union. which is the local
labor organization affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor. It's an
appeal from Haywood to GOmpers. One
of the Boston men put it well.
HAYWOOD makes Gompers look like an
angel" he said. THE l. w. w. makes
the mill men sigh for the A. +. of L.
1t may seem amusing to have a lot of
anti-labor business men signing to re-
establish the union in their mills, but the
reasons for their change of attitude take
all the fun out of it for them and their
friends, and If business men in other
parts Of the country are inclined to resent
this as weakening in their fight against
Gompers and the American Federation of
Labor, let them wait awhile before pass
ing Judgment
I quoted Haywood above as saying this
textile strike was not the last of Its kind
He meant that.
The textile strike is but one of series
of industrial uprisings planned not only
to carry on In new way the war of la
Dor upon capital but to force the reor-
ganization of the American Federation
of Labor along industrial lines or put it
out of business and set up in its stead
the Industrial Workers of the World.

LEAPS FROM AEROPLANE
AT HEIGHT OF 1850 FEET
Aviator First to Drop From Air.
ship Successfully by Aid
of Parachute.

ST. LOUIS, March 2-For the first time
In the history of heavier-than-air flying
q man leaped from an aeroplane at JEFF
ferson barracks yesterday afternoon and
descended to the earth in a parachute
The man was Capt. Albert Berry Ber-
~ and his pilot left the aviation field
In the afternoon in a two-passenger BIZ
plane. Beneath the machine, in a spe-
cialiy constructed case, was a large para
chute, similar to those with which aero
nauts leap.
Berry was first seen to leave his seat
in the machine, which was then perhaps
LOO feet high. Jannus the pilot, steered
the bipiane over the field at rate of
fifty five miles an hour.
The following heights of well known
structures will give an idea of the altitude
from which Berry dropped: Metropolitan
tower. 700 feet; Singer building. 612 feet;
Ethel tower, 9S5 feet; Washington Monu-
ment, 555 feet.
Shocks the Soldiers.
The soldiers at jefferson barracks were
astonished to see the men who had moved
slip down under the aeroplane 1t took
them several seconds to divine that Berry
had climbed to a trapeze bar and that the
thing was attached to a parachute.
With practiced hand Janus steadied
the machine. Berry gave a quick jerk
parachute plunged downward, while the
aeroplane. bounding up like a CORK, sud-
denly poised and steadied itself
The hupdredse f.-Xatchers held their
breathS as the man shot toward the
earth. the parachute trailing after him
IN a long. snaky line. Suddenly the
parachute popped open, the rapidity OF
the descent was checked and, amid
cheers. the first aviator to make such an
attempt reached the ground in safety.
Was Sure of Success.
Il didn't feel a bit nervous" said
Berry after the drop. II have made
many parachute leaps from balloons and
i felt certain this would succeed.
While II was attended with danger,
it is that feature of the performance
that adds thrill to it. / made up my
mind that would go through with It,
and when took my seat in the ma
chine / had made UP my mind to do or
die.
The pilot and j got ready at Kinloch
early in the afternoon, and after making
few circles of the fed to test out the
engines and test the air currents we
proceeded on our trip at an average
speed of about fifty-five miles an hour
We crossed over University City, For
est Park and the city sanitarium, and
proceeded on to Jefferson barracks, where
l had planned to make the drop.
Elevation, 1000 Feet.
When we reached the barracks we
were about 2.OOO feet up. On the return

BIRDS AND ANIMALS
FOUND IN CANAL ZONE
Collection Made in the EarIy
Part of Last Year by
E. A. Goldman.

In the early part of the year 1911. while
engaged In the Smithsonian biological
survey of the Canal Zone and the ada
cent parts of Panama. E. A. Goldman
made a collection of 36S mammals This
collection. representing between forty and
fifty genera, includes twelve new species
and subspecies, of which descriptions
have just been published by Mr.. Goldman
smithsonian miscellaneous collection, No.
2o75) In advance Of the general report
on mammals of this region.
Nine OF the new forms are from the
Canal Zone, and the others were collected
oy the author when he was on a trip to
the mountains near the headwaters of the
Chagres river, Panama. in March last
The new animals include two oppos-
sums from near Gatun, two squirrels. of
which one is known as pigmy squirrel
four rice rats, yoke-tooth rat which
was found to be one of the most abundant
rats in the grassy clearings of the Canai
zone: three spipy rats. including one
known as an octOdont and named after
Col. George w. Goethals, chairman and
CHIEF engineer Of the Isthmian canal COM
mission.
Mr.. Goldman states in his paper that
acknowledgements are due especially to
Col. Goethals and others connected with
the administration of the Canal Zone,
who materially aided the work of the
survey.
This paper, which has just been issued
by the Smithsonian Institution, forms the
sixth dealing with the results of the
Smithsonian biological survey of the
Panama Canal Zone.
New Birds From Panama.
Among the interesting birds collected by
Mr.. Goldman. while engaged on this sur
vey. there are two new species of nun
birds. These are described by E. W. Nell
son of the Department Of Agriculture,
biological survey, in a pamphlet Smith
sonfan miscellaneous collections No.
2O1O). published by the Smithsonian In
stitution. which forms the seventh paper
on the results of this survey
The nun birds. or genus Monasa, are so
called from the somber black or slaty
plumage, which, however, is somewhat
relieved by the bright red or yellow bill.
and In some cases white feathers at the
bend Of the wing and about the bill.
The specimens were collected by Mr..
Goldman on the base of Cerro Azul,
northwest of Chepo. Only single speci-
mems of the two new forms were OBJ
tanned, and, in fact, not Oilers were seen
during the entire season in the Canal
Zone and the adjacent country.
One of the new forms, Goldman's nun
bird, is named after the collector while
the other, Cerro AzuI nun bird, gets Its
name from the location.
The specimens described are deposited
in the National Museum collection for
scientific study.

Carried Through
Eleven Inoculations.

and Goldberger were engaged in the study
of Mexican typhus. and became impressed
with the apparently similar symptoms in
the two diseases. They sought an oppor-
tunity to study a case of Brilrs disease
first hand, which came in September last
year.
Blood was drawn from the arm vein of
the patient, defibrinated, and use to in
oculate two rhesus monkeys, and the
same operation was repeated on two other
monkeys the day following. with the adj
ditiOn Of an equal amount Of normal salt
solution. The first monkey went through
unscathed. The second one contracted the
disease and went through all its stages
to complete recovery. The third one
was in poor condition at the time of in
oculation. refused to eat thereafter, and
In six days it became advisable to chlOro-
form it. The fourth one died Of peritoni-
tbs. When the fever of the second monkey
was at it's height blood was drawn from
its heart, defibrinated, and used to inocu-
late two other monkeys. Both took the
fever. but the one which had the worst
attack was selected for the further propa-
cation of the disease Since then 1t has
been carried through eleven monkey gen.
erations by incubation of blood.

disease could be transmitted to monkeys
