Havana, July 14—President Men- oca] hag suspended the constitutional guarantees and called an extra ses- sion of congress. The decree suspending the constitu- tional guarautees gives as a reason for the action between Cuba and Germany, but it is believed in political circles here that the real reason lles in the differences which have arisen Letween the pres- ldent and congress. The president vesterday Hill recently passed in the house in- creasing the salaries of atives. Last night at the final sion of the regular congress, the house re-passed the measure over the pres- \dent's head, ses- be the state of war existing vetoed a represent- SELECTING ARMY NEXT DRAFT STEP (Continued From First Page). be 21.

Almost on the eve of the army draft, the war department today j pointed out that the organization of 40 baking companies offers an oppor- tunity for young men to volunteer, learn the bakers’ trade under pay, see service abroad, and possibly get pro- motion. Each company will consist of 100 men, divided into 15 fleld bak- ery units, capable of supplying 4,000 pounds of bread a day. Commissions will be offered “to deserving men from, the ranks,” said an announcement. Food Bill to Be Revamped. Plans for speeding up final action on food control legislation in the sen- ate, in accordance with the suggestion of President Wilson conveyed in a communication to Senator Martin, were being mapped out today by ad- ministration leaders. One of the first moves to that end | wag to arrange for @& meeting early in the coming week of the senate democratic steering committee, when efforts will be made to change the original house bill along the lines pro- posed by the president to provide for government control of foodstuffs, foods and fuels only. Prospects seemed bright today that senate leaders would be able to so change the pending bill as to make certain its passage. Debate on the food bill continued in the senate today. Cabinet members are leading the campaign in their departments to ob- tain signatures to the food adminis- tration pledge cards. Secretary Baker signed the first blank in his depart- ment and Secretary McAdoo is mak- ing a personal canvas of the treasury. Considération of the administra- tion’s providing for the establishment of an immense airplane fleet at a cost of $640,000,000 began in the house to- day. The bill has the approval of the military committee. CONN. APPEAL REJECTED. Population Estimate on War Draft to Remain, ‘Washington, July 14.—In the matter of the protest entered against the manner of estimating the quota to be furnished by the state of Connecticut | under the draft law, the war depart- ment has declined to change the figures, which they claim are the same as used in all other states. It was admitted that the estimate of the population was wrong owing to the large number of young men of regis- tration age and the large number of aliens not subject to military duty. The department figures that the num- ber registered forms 9:32 per cent. of the total population. Under this system the city of Hartford is credited with a papulation of 190,000, New Haven 250,000, Bridgeport 278,000 and ‘Waterbury 170.000. Representative Tilson said that it would require most of the native born citizens of the state of registration age to fill the quota after the munition workers were exempted, McCABE SECURES 48.

Some of the dress- makers when they went on strike car- ried the Stars and Stripes, and when Up to 9:30 last evening 48 recruits had been obtained through the re- cruiting campaign conducted here during the past few days by Sergeant J.

American women have always dress- ed well and do not mind the cost, so it is to the Paris dressmakers’ ad- vantage to make clothes for them. ‘“Hats show a strong American note. 'The soft felt hat turned up on one side is worn with a touch of cow- boy swagger. The light muslin dress is also an American fashion. Shoes and trimmage show a similar inspira- tion. In fact, to be dressed” a 1'Amer- icane’ is very much the thing.” Bread Card 2,000 Years Old. Alkmaar, Netherlands, June 28.— The bread card, that familiar Euro- pean product of the present greai clash of nations, is nearly 2,000 years old. That is the discovery of a Dutch professor.

Moreover, not only did Romans have their bread cards and their gov- ernment grain, a term that has be- come so familiar in Holland, but gov- ernment intervention in ancient Rome evoked as much discontent and fric- tion between public und bread pur- veyors as has been the case in these modern days.
