Stands a regulation khaki colored tent of
regulation size. In these are sheltered the
troughs and "sponge" cans two of the
former and three of the latter In each.
' .Three Sponges an Hour.
In the cana a "sponge" of dough Is set
every twenty minutes. As It takes only
twenty minutes to bake a loaf, bakings are
thus regulated. It la a scientific operation
throughout. The temperature of the tente
are maintained at 0 degrees, It having been
shown that the best result are thus ob
tained. Ovens and accessories are designed to fit
Into one wagon, without exceeding the
6,0(i0 pounds limit. Tho ovena are built of
sheet, iron and asbestos. Tbey are big
and look heavy, but this is deceptive. Cer
tain parts of the ovens are collapsible and
wlih other accessories, may be packed
within the actual baking chambers.
The products of the Individual baking
crews are kept separate in order that any
defects may be detected and remedied. The
bread Is stored on racks In tents.
An essential advantage of the army oven
Is that It van be made ready far baking
within twenty minutes. The present
division could pitch camp and within an
hour of setting up the ovens, a brief task,
be served with absolutely fresh bread.

Preparation Made for Speedy Load
Ins; of Troops at San Antonio.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex., March 19.-The
air was electrical tonight with rumors of
important developments In Mexico and ol
the movement of the maneuver devlelon to
the border. The return of Jose Yves Ll-
mantour to Mexico, In part, accounted for
this.
A newspaper man, who returned from the
City of Mexico, said sensational develop
menta were to be expected. He said the
story of the stoning of the Diax palace wa
untrue.
At the maneuver camp nearly every prep
aration was a denial of the story of mere
drill and tactics. Eight tracks have been
cleared In the Southern Paclflo yards.
"Skids" and runways have been con
structed so that the loading of eight troop
trains can be effected slmutaneously. The
entire yard has been cleaned so that noth
ing will hinder thjs regular army In the
event of any emergency. That these eight
tracks are at the "disposal" of the govern
ment was admitted by an official of the
Southern Pacific, who In the same breath
told of the "bedding" of a lot of stock cars
that are being stored, In the Southern Pa
cific yards.
Plan for Transportation.
A second official said a representative of
the government asked him. If In the event
stock car were not available for the ship
ment of horses, how many animals could
be loaded Into ordinary thirty-six or forty
fot box cars, ; Inquiry was also made If
the road woald-undertake to handle soldiers
In box cars In an emergency,
A train, r said to be . destined to carry
troops to , Nogales, Ariz.,, on the Mexican
border, was made up at the army yards
here tonight. It consists of nine tourist
and two standard sleepera, a kitchen and
a baggage car. It Is manned and under
orders to remain In readlnees to pull out
any hour.
"It may go tonight or tomorrow, or
never," said a railroad man.
"It must remain with steam up and a
crew aboard at all times In any event."
So far aa could be learned no orders have
been received for the embarkation of
troops, but It Is said among railroad men
that the destination of the train Is No
gales. It probably will carry the Eleventh
cavalry. .
Interest la added to the news by the fact
that in the plans pigeon-holed at Washing
ton for the movements of troops ready for
any eventuality, an Invasion of Mexico in
cludes the use of Nogales as a gateway.
Satisfied Mtth .Method of Taft In
Ileal I na with Mexican Prol.lmi.
LONDON. March 19.-(8pe lal Cable-gram.)-Brltish
feeling regarding (lie Mex
ico program of Washington Is decidedly
lesa censorious than It was a week ago.
The change for the better is due to a clearer
conception of the pWposes of Mr. Taft
and to a cessation of makeshift explana
tions. It is pointed out that If Mr. Taft had
nothing more to expect than a fulfillment
of the Diaz promise to bring about the
sale of the big haciendas and a distribu
tion of a large segment of the Mexican
public lands, the end would Justify the
means.
A prominent writer, who went through
Mexico last summer, aaya that two-thirds
of the country is held In big estates and
that his train was all day In crossing
one.
"In last resort," lie adds, "the Mexican
problem,' like the British-Irish problem,
Is an abuse of land tenure."
Some surprise Is expressed that Senor
Llmantour In his New York valedictory
should have abandoned the attitude of
conciliation maintained until then. The
Americans are referred to as "having a
better grip on their emotions," and Llman
tour is advised not to spoil a fine Imprea
slon by becoming peevish.
That there is serious probability of war
between the two countries Is scouted aa
"an unthinkable farrago of nonsense, un
less the Mexicans wished to be swallowed
alive."
In a well drawn cartoon Mr. Taft dressed
in the uniform of an American policeman
and swinging a big stick bearing the let
ters "U. S. A.." la depicted as arresting
traffic on a road crossing the Texas-Mexico
border and saying to a band of lnsur
rectos and filibusters: "Can't let you pass
without orders from Uncle Sam." Beneath
Is a line very familiar to the Ixjndon
cockney, "And a good Job, too."

Ihronah the Maneuvers.
WASHINGTON, March 19. One of the
principal questions which the War depart
ment hopes to settle as a result of the
maneuvers In Texas and California la
whether the army aa now organized la
provided, with an overatock or with an
insufficient equipment-' of wagons, tents
and supplies. This Is a matter over which
there ha been a division of opinion among
army officers, some holding that the army
would be hindered on a march bv the large
amount of Impedimenta It carries, while
others think that It ahould be even more
heavily eoulpped.
Major General Leonard Wood, chief of
staff, In discusslong the maneuver today
said that another question which it waa
expected to decide was whether there
should be a reorganization of th cavalry.
It le contended that ths branch of the
service should be more In accord with
the system In use In several European
countries W'here the size of the cavalry
with each division of the army la much
mailer than In this eountry.
He explained that on the present army
basis a division of troops when on com
plete army footing would spread over
eleven or twelve miles when marching. To
determine whether this was too unwieldy
a body and whether it could be reduced In
certain respects, the troops would b'
formed into complete divisions.
LEAVENWORTH, Kan., March 19 E.
J. Gregory, who was sentenced to serve
four years in the federal prison here for
"aw eating" gold coins, was released on
parole today. He left Immediately for his
former home in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Gregory had a well-equipped laboratory
for "sweating" coins. By this method
small particles of gold were worn off of
the coins, melted and sold as virgin metal.
Gregory disposed of the gold to the Denver
mint. Its unusual purity attracted the at
tention of assayers at the mint and led to
Gregory'a arrest. He began serving hla
sentence In November, 1908.
Since Gregory waa Imprisoned one of his
children has died.
