Pershing to Command
Expedition, Is Report
Officials Refuse to Comment
on Generals Summons
to Washington

Washington, May 9.-0rders sum-
moning Major General John j. Perish
ing. commanding the Southern Depart
ment, to Washington have aroused
much speculation here. Officials have
declined TO give any explanation or
TO comment on reports that the gem
erals visit is connected with the sub
jcct Of selecting commander for
military expedition TO France.
General Pershing is known to have
the confidence of Administration Off
Gals because of his record as com
mander Of the punitive expedition in
Mexico. Since the bulk Of the regu-
lar army now Is under his command,
however. and since several OF the big
army mobilization camps are TO be es-
tablished in his territory, it was point
cd out that his trip here might have
TO do only with organization work.

an uproar. The entire cast was good

them.
Tonight the same cast will be seen
in a. .four-act dramatization of the
well known story "Thorns and Orange
Blossoms" with "Billie" as the Amer

we'll fitted to his remarkable talent.
His supporting, company will be found

BREAD OF ALL NATIONS.

Although wheat flour is the most
important material used in bread
making, it is by no means the only
one. Graham, rye, barley and oat-
meal flours are all commonly used,
and less commonly, barley, buckwheat,
rice and maize meal.
The earliest form Of bread was pre-
pared from acorns and beechnuts. In
Southern Europe meal Of various
species of millet is used. In India
and China, durra and other cereal is
also baked into cakes, and in South
America meal Of the tapioca plant is
used.
The art of bread making has kept
pace with the advance Of civilization.
It is q curious fact that the more per-
feet the system Of bread making, the
higher has been the grade Of civili-
zation. In this late century the COIN
cidence is established by the Univer.
sal Bread Maker, featured in connec-
t;on with the Universal Kitchen Effi-
cheney Contest, which will be conduct.

WILL
Be E HELD LATER
General Disappointment Expressed
That Greenwood Boys Could Not
Return Home.

Arrangements had been completed
yesterday afternoon for the banquet
to be given the Greenwood boys from
the border in honor of their return
home and much disappointment was
felt because the boys were ordered
held in Federal service at Jackson and
could not get here.
The fact that the boys were ordered
to be held in Federal service was not
learned here until four o'clock yes
terday afternoon. The order did not
reach Jackson until afternoon. When
it was received the regiment had been
mustered out and many Of the boys
had started for home. They are all
being recalled to jackson, by wire--'s
Mr.. Joe Stein, proprietor Of the Ho-
tel Irving, where the banquet was to
have been served, had decorated his
place very elaborately for. the occa-
sion and the work Of preparing the
actual dishes for the tables had been
begun when the message saying that
the boys could not come arrived here.
Mr.. Stein very. patriotically refused
any payment for the trouble and ex-
pense he had gone to to prepare the
banquet.
The banquet has been postponed
until future date. Those who SO
literally contributed toward the fund
for that purpose have agreed to keep
the money in one sum until such time
as it can be used as planned.

MARYLAND WANTS TO BE BAN
NER STATE FOR PREPARED
NESS. S

Baltimore, Nd, March 2S-(By Un-
ion Associated Press)-Maryland is
reported to be trying to establish a
record for preparedness among the
States in the Union, and Governor
Harrington, assisted by influential cit
liens, is tapping every resource in
the state to perfect a condition Of
military and economic preparedness,
believing that the period before an
actual declaration of war is only lin
tied by the time it will take to con-
vene Congress. Many loans have been
offered to the State already and it is
understood that every detail in con-
nection with the mobilization Of Mary
land troops has been perfected.
