and Family Given
Ovation at Their Church

A smartly dressed young woman
nudsed her mother as they sat deep in
one Of the rear pews Of Calvary Baptist
Church, Eighth and H streets northwest,
at the morning service yesterday and
said:
Look! There he is"
The mother turned her head. then
whispered exctedly TO her husband.
Within a very few seconds there was Z
general craning OF necks throughout the
church. and there arose a murmur OF
hundreds OF whispering which could be
heard even above the notes OF the big pipe
organ.
The cause Of il all was the slow pro-
,ession of a grave-faced. bearded man. in
a CapaCious morning coat and a Panama
hat. with a sweet-faced. blushing little
woman in a gown of green silk, accom-
panied by two girls. one in teens. down
the aisle.
1t was former Justice Charles Evans
Hughes. Republican nominee for the
Presidency of the United States. his wife
ard the Misses Catherine and Elizabeth

his regular pew. Now and again he turn

some acquaintance. but his manner was
everyday and matter OF fact Through
the services an atmosphere OF suppressed
excitement emanated from the rest Of the
congregation.
This atmosphere extended no farther
than the foot Of the pulpit. however. II
the Rev. Dr. Greene. pastor OF the
church, noted the arrival OF the new
nominee and his family, he gave no
sign. The congregation half expected
that some mention might be made Of or
at least some reference made to. the re-
cent political events in DR.. Greenes
discourse. Nothing OF the sort hap
pened.
Once the services were over the big
congregation made what might be called
a rush at the new nominee. Mr.. Hughes
has hundreds of acquaintances among the
parishioners. These all wanted to con-
graduate him. 1t was the same with
several hundred more. whom MI Hughes
did not know.

to reach the sidewalk, where Mrs

Politicians Take Partisan

politicians here followed strict partisan
lines yesterday.
Democrats replied to the Hughes at

Of insincerity and political buncombe

the Progressive vote.
Senator Cummins, Of Iowa. and Sena-
tor Norris. of Nebraska, both indorsed
Hughes heartily and announced their in

In the event of Mr.. Hughes nomination,
Col. Roosevelt would refuse TO head a

Taking their cue from the sharp attack
upon President Wilson contained in the
Hughes statement of yesterday, several
Democratic leaders launched into de-

motives which actuated it.

Among the food stores, all brought from
overseas, on view in the great ware
houses, there was no bread. That, alone
among the articles of diet, is made in
France, largely from American and Can
adian wheat. All the British armies in
France eat bread baked in an improVised
bakery. There is one in each of the
great base cities. Each IS in charge of
an army baker, and the thousands of
men who work in them are enlisted SOL
diers, members of the army service corps,
and bakers by profession. They work
longer hours than they did in peace
times. and get less pay, but they are in
khaki, and there is no grumbling, for
they know their job is an easier one than
that of the man in the trenches, and
their scale of pay is higher than his

twenty at time, into huge furnaces,
each of which bakes l forget how
many hundred loaves at once.
No loaf is lost track of, and If there
is any complaint about the quality of
the bread the trouble can be traced
right back to the man who made the
dough. As a result, complaints are
few. Once baked, the bread is stacked
in huge sheds for twenty-four hours,
that Tommy Atkins may not injure his
stomach by getting it too fresh. Care
is taken, however, that he gets it be-
fore it is stale, and except under un-
usual conditions each man is fed with
bread baked not more than three days
before 1t reaches him.
1t is unwise to say that one army
is better than another. But not even
the Germans, much as they hate Eng

army is the best fed army in Europe.
