The most satisfactory loaves in combining economy and appear- ance were those made with the mini- mum percentage allowed in Austria or +less. The loaves made with more than thirty per cent. potato meal were not so satisfactory as they were heavier and less attractive in form. The bread has a rather coarse texture and dark appearance but | possesses a distinctive and 4greeable flavor. It also retains moisture for a much longer period than ordinary wheat bread. The bureau of chemistry used the imported ‘“potato flake” in some of ts experiments and in others, meal made by slicing, milling and drying potatoes on a small scale in its lab- oratories. It should be added that | such ordinary ‘“potato flour” as is on our American markets is not the same | as the German ‘“potato flake” or E ‘Walz-mehl which has given such sat- sfactory results in the experiments. The question has been raised as to whether the ordinary cooked potato might not tuted for the prepared potato meal. The experimenters believe that it might serve the same purpose if uscd in just the right proportion, but this would be difficult for the average housewife to determine as there s great danger of using too much and producing a very soggy loaf. How- ever, the custom of adding a very lit- tle potato is already used by many housekeepers to keep their bread ! moist.and this practice can very well i be recommended for more use. ! Dried bananas, ripe and unripe, and chestnuts are other substitutes for wheat flour with which experiments are being made by the bureau of { chemistry. Still other products which offer promise of furnishing the pub- | lic with a cheap and nutritious bread ! are the following: Bran, soy bean, white bean, millet, kafir, milo, dash- een, cottonseed flour, oatmeal, cas- | sava, buckwheat, rye, corn gluten, kaoliang, rice (polished and natural), peas, potato (Irish and sweet), corn meal (white and yellow). The breads made from these vari- ous ingredients have already been photographed and analyzed. The flours from which the breads were made are being analyzed that it may be known exactly how nutritious they are in comparison with the pure wheat flour. The soy bean and cot- tonseed flours when mixed with wheat flours in proper proportions (about twenty“five per cent. give a breaa with aboyt twice the amount of pro- tein (muscle building element) that ordinary wheat bread contains.

(Correspondence of the Associated Press.) London, Feb. 26.—The gauntlet of dangers through which.a small band of Americans and Englishmen passed in their escape -from a copper mining camp in the Caucasus moun- of war between Turkey told by A. H. Trotter of & who has finally reached London. Their adventures form one of the most ex- citing of the minor episodes of the The mining village where the party was caught is called Dzansoul, and lies high up In the mountains about forty miles from the Russian port of Batoum on the Black Sea. The de- fense of these mountain villages was left to only a few companies of Rus- sian police armed with old black powder rifles. The report that the Turks were advancing in force from the south, and h&ad driven‘in some of the Russian outposts, reached the vil- lage in November, and this was the first news that hostilities had begun. The people in the smelter camp were slow to realize the danger that sur- and took no steps to escape until the American maanger ! of the company, R. T. White, was shot one Sunday morning while on his way from the camp to the mines, some miles higher up in the mountains. Rescued at Dusk. White was riding up the trail when shot suddenly poured upon him from a ridge across a ravine. Both he and his horse were struck, and he fell from the animal, wounded in the leg. From noon until cvening he lay in the shelter of the rock, sniped at every time he showed his head. At dusk, a party, of which Trotter was a member, sneaked up the trail to effect his rescue. They brought him down to camp, and then sent him to Batoum. The. following evening some Rus- sian soldiers, with a battery of three inch field guns moved up. They sta- tioned two of the guns near the smelter and four others lower down at Kura. Most of the non-combat- ants of the village left for Batoum, but a small party of Americans and British remained at camp. The situ- ation was not taken seriously, as the Turks were thought to be only ~ a small party of marauders. Torced Into Trenches. The next morning when the two Russian guns at the mine opened up at the crest held by the Turks, infantry which had been increas about 400 men at the mine, forced into their trenches b; return fire. Of the Russia small band of Cossacks carried mod- ern guns, the reservists having only single shot pieces. The mountain po- lice who were in the majority were armed with ancient guns, as said, fir- ing black powder and lead bullets. The fighting became so intense that Trotter decided to make his escape. On the way down the mountain, he often had to take refuge from the fire. At Kura he met a Russian am- munition train, whose officers ar- rested him as a German spy and seized a package of hank notes he had with him. Attacks Ammunition Train, Meanwhile, however, the Turks had slipped across the crest of the op- posite bridge and had begun a sur- prise attack on the ammunition train. The horses which got the worst of it, bolted down the mountain, wrecking as they ran many of the carts of sup- plies and ammunition. Trotter tried to jump on one of the wagons to escape, but was prodded off with bayonets, and sought cover. When a motor car filled with wounded came by he tried his luck but was unable to himself, for lack of Russian, again bayonetted off the car. Trotter’s Money Recovered, The Russian commandant, coming up later in an automobile gave him safe conduct to Borchk when the ammunition train was overtaken ang Trotter’'s money recovered.

He was so worn out, that he even dropped off to sleep while seeing a Turk in the same room whet a butcher knife and tallk about a Holy War. Arrested As Spy. By gvod fortune, an old Turk form- erly employed at the mine, vrecog- nized Caldwell as an American and set him free. He returned to the mine, hoarded up the camp, and then | worked his way to Trebizonde. Here he was arrested as a spy and served eighteen days in a Turkish prison. | He obtained release only by the mere chance of signalling a passing Ameri- can, who happened to be the United | States consul. From Trebizonde he took a Greek steamer for Constanti- nople, which made the trip in six- teen days instead of the usual three. DEADLY THREE-INCH SHELL. (Correspondence the Associated Press.)
