POISON GIVEN TO
IIIATPIIISBORG
TEDDY AND
TWO weeks valuable time was lost by congress in pass
ing the army bill debating over sending Mr. IJoose
vclt's private nrmy to the trenches. The proposal was
first rejected, after stormy discussion, by the house, hut
accepted by the senate, after an equally lengthy talk-fest.
The conferees disputed a week, then finally agreed to drop
the Uoosevelt volunteers from 1 the bill, whereupon the
house refused to concur, reversed itself, sent the bill back
to conference with instructions favorable to adopting the
senate amendment. ,
The bill as finally passed, authorizes the acceptance of
a personally conducted force of volunteers, such as Mr.
Roosevelt suggests. It is up to the president whether such
a force shall be accepted. Tho general army staff is op
posed, and the president lias hitherto been governed en
tirely by its recommendations in military matters.
In addition, there will be difficult y in equipping and
training the selective draft army authorized, as there is
a shortage of nearly everything that goes to make up an
army. Whether such supplies should be diverted from
the regular organization for the volunteers of a paper
political 'army, with its. self-appointed officers and its
glory-seeking .spectacular leader, is questionable.
Speaking of Mr. Roosevelt's offer, the New York World
pronounces his demands mischievous, and says:
All other Americans of military age aro subject to draft as privates, or
If ambitious to bo officers, like hlniBelf, must undergo Intensive training
and Instruction. Willi little experience, by nature Insubordinate, always a
sensational showman, and giving evidence dally that he has no truo under
standing of the situation at the front or of the dirt.-cuiiios of transport,
Mr. ltoosevelt, who condescends to enlist
placing his legions :n the trenches In
uosslble and to be allowed, he and
slaughtered and his country humiliated.
Whatever Is gonoiiMO In Mr. ltoosevelt and nvs battalions ought to be
used very choorfully and thankfully to strengthen tho army of the United
States soon to be In preparation for service abroad. All that Is merely the
atrical and boastful a.-.d fraudulent In them can only hinder the mighty
work In hand. ;
Whatever is said against Roosevelt and his proposi
tion, however, there is this much in his favor he is one
of the few lenders in the. United States who realizes that
war and fighting are synonymous words. Teddy is a fight
ing man, it not a military man; a man with a. punch who
realizes that the sooner the United States begins fighting,
the sooner the war will be over. ......
There is no question but that the moral effect of hav
ing a former president of the United States in the trenches
of Murope would be tremendous and be a conclusive demon
stration to the world that the United States was in earnest
in entering the war.
Many 01 the congressmen
along opposed the war and
be trying to loree tho nation to
war, delaying action upon vital measures by opposition as
long ns possible.npparently 111 order that the allies may be
weakened until they become ineffective. If the only way
to secure actum is to' call 111
the present critical situation
action. ''''
Bran Flours for Home' Breadmaking
WASHINGTON, May IS. The use
ot flours which contain mure or less
bran Is sometimes advisable both for
tho sake of tho variety which they
give to tho diet and because of the
mineral substances and growth-regulating
substances theso flours contain.
Farniors' Bulletin S07 of tho United
States department of agriculture,
Bread and Dread Making, Includes,
in addition to whlto bread recipes, a
numlicr of home mudo bread from
wholo wheat or graham flour, from
home-ground flour, from rye, rolled
oats, etc. Theso aro as follows:
Wholo-Whent or tlmlinm llrcnd.
One and one-halt cups lukewarm
milk, thrco tablespoons brown sugar,
one and one-fourth teaspoons salt,
three caps whole-wheat or graham
(lour, one-half yeast cake.
(tea lit the milk, together with the
sugar and salt. When lukewarm, add
tho yeast, mixing It first with a little
of the milk. Add the flour, beat well,
and let It double Its volume. Heat It
thoroughly, put Into a pan, and let It
rise. In a pan of Btandard slue It
should come nearly to the top.
The nbove recipe may lie used In
preparing bread from home-ground
meal. There are many homes, par
ticularly In the country, where the
housewife can obtain unground wheat
at moderate cost. If ground In the
ordinary cofreo mill, such wheat
makes a course bread, not very light
in texture, but of such good flavor
thai It may well bo used occasionally
lo give variety to tho diet. It Is use
ful, too, in places where good bran
cannot lie obtained easily and where
coarse breads are desired as a means
of preventing constipation. In mak
ing such bread with a view to econ
omy the housekeeper should compute
what It will cost her per loaf, Includ
ing labor and fuel, as compared with
(tlier breads she makes. Skim milk
instead of whole milk can be used;
home made yeast, either liquid or dry
cakes, is a possibility, and some might
like the bread with loss sugar or un
sweetened. Another recipe which has
been work out follows:

SECRET TREATY
BETWEEN ; KAISER
AND CZAR EXISTED
PARIS, Muy 18. A long account
of a secret pact between the kaiser
and Emperor Nicholas and aimed at
France is given In the last issue of
the Moscow Itusskoye Slovo to reach
Paris. According to tho story, the
existence of the treaty was discovered
by Count Wlttee in 1905 while the
peace negotiations betwen Russia
and Japan wero proceeding at Ports
mouth, i !
Count Witto, furlouB at the decep
tion of the czar, informed the kaiser
that unless the pact was cancelled
ho would refuse to countersign the
treaty of Portsmouth. As Gorman
bankers' wero Interested In a loan
to Russia this would have hit them
hard, tho Btory goes, and rather than
havo complications in his economic
policy the kaiser yielded. Neither
emperor, howover, ever forgave
Count WItte.
At the beglnlng of the war Count
Wltto communicated tho facts to B.
Ollnsky, editor of the Messenger Ilis
toriquo. Ho bound tho editor to
keep the Information secret until he,
Count Witte, was dead, and circum
stances warranted the revolution of
"Nicholas' Inconceivable le;vlty or
treason whichever you like."
JAPANESE SHIPS ARRIVE
IN EUROPEAN WATERS
PARIS, May IS. A number of
Japanese gunboats have arrived at
Marseilles to aid in the war on Gor
man submarines and convoy French
merchantmen. If the experiment has
satisfactory results It. will be ex
tended. Tho arrival of Japanese warships
In Europe to tako part in the war on
Gorman submarines mr.rks the first
active participation by Japan in the
European struggle. The Japanese
navy has been active In the South
Pacific and aided In tho capture of
the German Chinese colony of Tstng
Tau. A number of German Islands In
the Pacific wero seized by Japanese
naval forces in the early months of
the war and Japaneso warships aided
in the pursuit of the lOmden nnd oth
er German commerce raiders In
southern and Far Eastern waters.
The prestige of the Japaneso navy
has been' very high since its sensa
tional successes in the Russo-Japanese
war. At tho outbreak of the
European war Japan had 55 destroy
ers with 1 0 more undor construction.
Under a seven-year building program
submitted last year, she was to con
struct 27 additional destroyers.

COAL COMPANIES
ASK DAMAGES FO
SHORTAGE OF CARS
WASHINGTON, Jf.iy IS. In one of
the most far-reaching complaints filed
beforo tho lutarstulo commerce com
mission four Utah coal companies to
day seek to recover approximately
$425,000 from seven railroads as
damages alleged to have been sus
tained through tho failure of the
roads to supply them with an ade
quate number of coal cars for their
operations.
The case sets a precedent. If de
elded In favor of the complainants, It
would open the way for the filing of
innumerable similar complaints, not
only by coal and other mining com
panies, but by manufacturers and oth
or shippers ot virtually all commodi
ties carried in interstate commerce
for alleged losses running into many
millions.
The complainants are tho Cameron,
Spring Valley and Standard Coal com
panies and the Independent Coal and
Coke company of Salt Lake City.
The Southern Pacific, Union Pa
cific, Los Angeles and Salt Lake,
the Oregon Short Line, tho Denver
and IMo Grande, and the Western
Pacific roalroad companies and the
Oregon-Washington Railroad and
Navigation company are defendants.
Complainants also ask the commis
sion to compel the railroads to in
crease their equipment to keep up
with industrial demands.
