Russia is the problem, the mys-
terry, the great possibility. What
is going on behind the curtain the
rest of the world does not know,
and only guesses at from the occa.
sionai flashes and glimpses of light
that reach it. One of the most
startling of these is afforded by
the recent declaration of the pro-
visional government, which con.
tains the following sinister sugges-
tion: "The frightful spectre of
civil war and anarchy hovers over
Russia, threatening its freedom.
There is sad, dark path leading
through civil war and anarchy
hovers over Russia, threatening
its freedom. There is a sad, dark
path leading through civil war
and anarchy to the return of des'
potism." 50 much depends on
Russia at the present hour that
the nations which are looking to
here for support and co operation
may we'll dread the realization of
such a possibility. Whatever
may be the developments behind
the veil, ir is quite apparent that
unless the Russians speedily put
their house in order the nations
now allied for the worlds Liberties
can hope for little help from the
nation which recently gave prom
Use of so much. -Vicksburg Herald.

Plans For Reorganization Of Twenty.
ninth Division Now Taking
Definite Shane.

As the plans for the reorganization
OF the Twenty-ninth Division, United
States Army. of which the Maryland
National Guard troops are unit, in
Guiding Company NJ and the Machine
Gun Company from Annapolis. began
te take definite shape. there are indi-
cations that few. If any, officers or
enlisted men in the National Guard
at this time will be left behind when
the division sails for service overseas.
Every Marylander in the service now
probably will go overseas with the
division.
Ii all the units of the division were
at full war strength under the pres
ent system of army organization IL is
probable that the reorganization
" ould create a large surplus of troops
which might remain i'm the depot bri
gade here. Many units arriving are
below war strength. however. and at
least one is below National Guard
peace strength.
Every National Guardsman with
the possible exception of a score or
more officers detailed to the skeleton
organization of the depot brigade will
undoubtedly be utilized in some ca
pacity in the Twenty Division
when il goes overseas Not all the
men, however. will be retained in the
outfits i'm which they enlisted or were
commissioned.

On September 26, just two weeks
from today, the drafted men of An
rapolis and Anne Arundel county will
Iesye here for training camps, pre-
parstory TO going to France to engage
IN the great war of nations.
It is expected at least 80 conscript
men will be in this division IL not one
hundred Certainly they are worthy
citizens Of this city and county and
are deserving Of some fitting recogni-
tion on the part Of those left behind,
for whom they go to fight
Let Annapolis people see 10 IL that
they are served a luncheon in the State
Armory before parading the streets to
entrain. Il may be, if the proper au-
thorites request it, that the Superin-
tendent Of the Naval Academy will
loan for this occasion, as he so cour-
teously did for the last, the Naval
Academy band to head the parade of
eonscriDted men. If Annapolis sees
to it that these men get a fitting send
Of, it will help to make them happier.
Some folk think that because a man
is drafted he is looked upon as a slave
since he did not volunteer. There was
probably some good reason that ne did
not volunteer. Home ties, depen-
dents. his job, all had claims upon
him The drafted men are by no
means outcasts They are good citi-
zens the same as others and should be
given a rOusing send off on Wednesday
the 26 These men come from all
over the county, and tie county should
help Annapolis give them the proper
kind Of send off when they leave.

TO BAKE 1900 LOAVES A DAY
Every Nationality Represented Amons
Chefs And Cooks-Few Have Typi-
caIIy German Names.

A score and more OF stalwart young
soldiers were busy Monday afternoon
carrying big bags of -four into the new
bakery at Camp Meade
There were 1000 of these bags,
each bag containing 9S pounds, SO
that before the day was over the men
in khaki had stacked on one of the
storeroms OF the bakery exactly 1885,
600 pounds of -four. Anyone can tell
at glance that that was some job.
Incidentally any householder who has
been buying -four can tell that >some
wealth was represented in those
stacked-up bags. There are approx
mately 100000 pounds of flour now
az the camp
Most of the soldiers who did the
carrying were bakers who enlisted
for the purpose, among other things,
OF teaching some of the new members
OF the draft army how to make bread,
pastry and other things for their COM
panions when they get 'over there" +"
They will begin their course of in
struction shortly after the As per cent

day OF next week
Bakery Is A Jimdandy.
The bakery, which was completed
only few days ago. is jimdandy.
which is capable of turning out $50
two-pound loaves of bread an hour,
the aggregate capabilities of the
ovens being 2.640 pounds an hour.
II is figured that about $4,000 loaves
day will be needed by the men.
The bakers will work in S-hour shifts.
There are l BaItimoreans in the con-
tingent
There will be immense -four bins in
the bakery building and big recepta-
cles in which the dough will be
kneaded before being sent on the last
stage of preparation for the men.
Interesting as is the big bakery, 1t
has no more of an attraction for the
visitors than the field ovens which
have been in use for the past week for
the benefit of members of the Tenth
New York Regiment and for some of
the regular soldiers Beginning to-
morrow, most of the bread that will
be used at the camp, both by labor
ers and soldiers, will be made at the
big bakery.
The field bakery has an especial ap-
peal to the visitor in that it shows
how the bread is made over in the
fighting zones in Europe. There are
two compartments of three ovens
each, the ovens being built on top Of
one another The dough that is to be
put into the oven is passed along from
soldier to soldier, just the same as
men working in a freight yard will
pass articles to the cars.
Every Nationality Represented.
Every nationality is represented
among the chefs and cooks at the
camp, but all of them are good
Americans. even few of them with
typically German names Some Of
these chefs have real linguistic abil-
ity. There is one from the Bellevue
Stratford, Philadelphia, who speaks
French, Italian. Spanish. English and
German. He admits, however, that
he can make more money preparing
dishes and he intends to stick to that
job
