Becomes an Industry.

Not only has all that changed, but
the" task of supplying the American
troops in France with white bread has
become genuine industry-which is
growing all the time. The few bakers
originally here have grown into COM
panies, the relatively small daily guam
tity. of bread turned oat in July has in
creased to scores of thousands of
pounds-to give the exact number
being fed-and entire shiploads of -four
are. arriving weekly and are being
stored away in warehouses with ca
pacity of millions of pounds, as a re-
serve against the arrival of still more
troops.
The site originally selected for the
baking industry was obviously selected
by those who appreciated that il soon
would develop 10 large proportions. The
American Army first took possession of
a huge bakery in a central French city,
formerly operated by a German, il is
interesting to note, and having a ca
flour in addition to not lnconsiderabie
daily output of bread from its coke
ovens
For the moment this establishment
was more than ample for the needs Of
the. first troops. but those making the
arrangements knew that the time
would soon come when the city bakery
would be Inadequate. So they went out
side of the city and leased from the
French tract of land consisting of
several thousand acres upon which the
conventional military wooden shacks
soon sprang up-and where there is
tioHal field bakeries as the need may

Friendliness Toward Japan.

On account of the chivalrous man
ner in which the japanese fought
against Russia the most friendly feel
ings exist toward Japan, but if the
Intervention is supported by the allies
Russia will no longer have moral
grounds for keeping friendship with
the allies in preference to friendship
with Germany.
1t is believed here that the speech
of the late British am bassador to Rus
STA, Sir George Buchanan. declaring
that the ear was no traitor to the
allies, and the letter from the car
published simultaneously in France
may foreshadow the success of the pc
tition by the grand dukes for the cars
release. Nicholas probably will come
to England or France if he is freed

Shacks Quickly Equipped.

BY the time the city bakery had
reached its capacity the shacks were
fully equipped with the very latest in
baking machinery. while alongside of
Inixing and kneading troughs there had
been installed rows upon rows of field
ovens that open conveniently few feet
from side entrances to the shacks, SO
that the kneaded loaveS may be passed
directly into place over the fire
The American authorities early for
saw probable difficulties in the way of
PROCURING steady supply of coal and
wood, for which. the ovens were ac-
cordingly arranged. A large detach-
rnent of engineers was assigned to as
sist the bakers, and today furnishes a
Ally carload Of wood for each of the
baking companies. Additional engineers
have arrived just as fast as have been
needed, and the reserve supply of wood
on hand makes the plateau-like baking
camp resemble felled forest
One of the first concerns of the off,
GERS in charge of the bakery was to
provide with railroad facilities. and to
this end spur tracks have been con-
Over these tracks whole carloads of
bread leave each morning and after
noon for the training camps and the
front.

Saneuinary fighting followed and at
o'clock in the afternoon the Bel

The German losses were exceedingly
heavy. Forty bodies were found lNng
on the barbed wire alone, while many
persisted under the grueling fire of the
Belgians. one German officer was de-
captivated by a shell as ne was running

captured together with twelve machine
guns.
The Germans claim to have captured
a considerable number of Belgians and
they undoubtedly carried away some
prisoners. Although it is impossible to

From the Jerusalem correspondent of
The London Times
II is doubtful whether the population
OF any city within the zones Of war has
profited so much at the hands of the con
queror as that Of Jerusalem In little
more than half "a year wondrous change
has been effected in the condition of the
people
One Of the biggest blots upon the Turk

failure to provide an adequate water sup
ply What they could not, or would not
do in their rule Of 400 wears His Majestv's
Royal Engineers accomplished in little
more than two months. The picturesque
water-carricr Is passing INTO the limbo of
forgotten things
For it's water, Jerusalem used 10 RELY
mainly upon the winter rainfall to fill it's
cisterns Practically every house has its
underground reservoir. But many had
fallen into disrepair, and most of them re-
quired thorough cleaning. To supplement
the cistern supply the Mosque OF Omar
reservoir halved with Bethlehem the
water which flowed from near Solomon's 5
Pool down an aqueduct constructed by
Roman engineers under tierod before the
Savior was born. THIS was not nearly

They found group Of springheads in an

hills, yielding some IA 900 gallons an hour,
and this water, which was running TO
waste, Is lifted to the top of hill, from
which il flows by gravity through long
pine line into Jerusalem Supplies run
direct 10 the hospitals and at standpipes
all over the city, the inhabitants take as
much as they desire The water con
sumption of the people has become 10
times what it was last year
A householder has merely to apply TO
the military governor for water, and a
sanitary officer inspects the cistern, or
ders il to be cleansed and sees that ii is
done, the department of pubic health
grants certificate that the cistern is
clean, and the engineers run a pipe to il

may be. Two cisterns were recently re-
plenished with between 60,O00 and 20 600
gallons of water from the hills

single and then hmped down trst. The
same tactics were followed with another
pinch hitter later in the inning, and ms
a result, Hsrlan's showed two runs
