Recent political sud equent to the peace offer made by Kaiser through Prince and culminating in the banishment of the Xaiser’s mother-in-law, proved beyond & doubt that the dual nion- archy is tn dive strefta, and this fact is doubly strengthened by the an- nouncement today that the Austrian emperor ha new overtures for peace, this time to Italy that and Kari sixtus, made made alone.

Does Austiria will make Prussia and imagine that Ttaly before Italy's just claims for torial rights are recognized granted? Could Ttaly ever forget the infamous wrongs done to her beauti- ful cities by the aviators of the Cen- tral Powers? Just yesterday in New Haven General Guglielmotti of the Ttalian mission assured his audience that Ttaly would “stand to the last man". This new attempt of the Hun and his slave to force a made-in-Germany peace upon one of our Allles will meet with the rebuke it deserves. Kaiser Karl will learn that he is not dealing with a mob of dreaming the- orists as was the of Russia. Ttaly’s reply in part has been given already.

Senator Brandegee of Connecticut was one of the thirteen who voted against the bill while his colleague, Senator McLean voted for Mr. Brandegee. who attacked the Administration bitterly, in a speech rccently delivered, attempted to be humorous by offering an amendment yroviding that “if any power, stitutional or not, has been inadver- tently omitted from this (the Over- man) bill, it is kercby granted in full.” This amendment was rejected by a viva vice vote. The Senate did not take Senator Brandegee's al- leged humorous remarks ary more seriously than they did his vitriollo attack on the advisers of the Presi- dent. 1t is a source of gratification that the Senate is gradually waking up to the needs of the country and that al- though it works slowly, it generally dces what the President wants it to So long as it pursues this policy it cannot go wrong. war. con- do.

Usually he for hanging is considered the more ignominious form of death. For murder or rape the criminal must be either executed or sentenced to life imprisonment. He may be hanged or shot. Hanging is usually imposed upon those found guilty of murder in connection with mutiny, or sometimes for desertion in the face of the enemy.

The way of the army is a hard way, but experience has proved that it is the only possible way to maintain discipline. What happens to an army man when disci- pline Is relaxed has been shown in the case of Russia. Had the rigid army rules governing the death pen- alty been maintained. we should nev- er have heard of the Bolshevists ex- cept as soapbox orators. Urban-Rural Balance. (Baltimora American) Every census taken of populations in the United States has indicated a continuously increasing relative pro- portion of city and town populations to the rtural distributions. The bal- ance as betwecen urban and rural when the 1910 census was made was not far from even. In the New Eng. Jand States, the urban population was in proportion of about two and a half to one. In New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland, the city and town populations were consider- ably in excess of the farm and rural village populations, but in the Central West, the South, from Virginia to Texas, and the prairie states west of ! {he Mississippl, the tural populations outnumbered the town populations in a score ranging from two to one to to ome. In Arkansas the rural population was in proportion of more than six to one, Tt is unmistakable evidence been an enormously in- creased movement of population all over the United States from the farm- ing regions to the towns and cities since the beginning of the war. and especially since the entrance of the TUnited Btates to the war. From al- most every city along the Fastern slope there ave reports about housing difficulties. The same is true as to West Coast citles. The war plants are mainly responsible for the shift of industrial populations, but the shipyards and munition piants do not entirely explain the rush to the cities and towns. The growth of cities and towns in all parts of the United States has been something like phenomenal during the two deeades preceding the war, but the rush citvward last year and this vear is a flood tide move- ment. that a A Gleam of Sanity. {Detroit News.) Occasionally a gleam of intelligence cscapes through some rift in the German censorship to indicate that not all Germans are hopelessly be- vond appeals of reason. Recently in the Prussian diet Dr. Franz Mehring, an independent socialist member, pro- pounded the following significant question: “If Canada. with less than 9,000,000 inhabitants, has been able to 250,000 soldiers into Burope, able to fly or swim, what ground has the finance minis- ter for denying to the United States with 110,000,000 inhabitants, any military capacity?” Dr. Mehring concluded that those who held the United States in con- tempt were blameworthy in that such baseless judgments endanger the Ger- man cause. Canada is the standing refutation of all contemptuous German charges against overseas foes. Americans need claim no superiority over Can- adians to make Germany take notice. The Germans know the Canadian sol- diers. They met them at Ypres and Vimy Ridge. Since then jibes about Canadian bravery and efficiency do not get over very well among the Ger- mans Herr Mehring potheses and in tails he was in cently.

Perhaps the best, most and most satisfactory way to make lttle meat go a long way-is by the use of savory stew the main dish for at least one dinner a week To furn our entire population into a non-meat-eating people is by no means desirable. But to stretch the supply of meat over the needs of the United States and our Allies is ne- cessary and quite possible without entailing any hardships. Beef, lamb, mutton, and veal are cach an excellent choice in making a savory stew; hut the food adminis- tration reaiosted that the killing of young antmals he aveided, as they niean a very much Jarger amount of rieat If left t6 grow to maturity. A deiry heifer. when grown, also rep- resents milk and many pounds of it, each pound heing of inestimable value in feeding the children of our ation properly. So we should vely npon beef and mutton for our stews. There is very little real difference actual flavor between lamb and mut- ton—the difference is mainly one of weight and size. And a few months addecC to the life of the growing sheep vesults in greatly increasing the amount of available meat. Therefore choose mutton wigpever possible. There are. in general, three quali- ties of beef. Those cuts designated as the third quality are best adapted to the making of stews. The cuts belonging to this class are tougher than those of the first and second classes. The flank and leg are good cxamples. The flank has no bone; the muscles are coarse, loose, and tough: but this piece of meat is ve juiey and has a very fine flavor. The meat from the shoulder, rump, and Lrisket is also excellent for stewing purposes. The muscles in the shoul- der cut do not run in one general direction, and there are many ten- dons in it; therefore it should be ccoked slowly and for a long time.: The leg and shin of beef are also full of tendons and must be cooked a long time, 50 that they are well- odapted to the making of stews. A stew “fit for a king” may be made with oxtail joints as the foundation. The neck of mutton is the portion o buy for a savory mutton stew. That portion near the head is in almost constant motion in the living animal, therefore, it s tough, but rich in fla- vor and nutrition. The shoulder and I'reast of mutton may also be used in this method of cookery. Game and poultry make good stews and are at cxcellent war-time choice, as this variety of meat can not well be skipped. Use older birds for stews. MABEL J. CROSBY, in Good Housekeeping economical, Jackies Ignove Style Changes. (From the Memphis Commercial Appeal.) Fashions may come and fahions | may go, but the habiliments of Uncle | Sam’s jackies never vary. Trained to | face nature in the open, the jacky is | invariably ready to meet all sor weather. He knows how to dress meet every condition, and the navy not only has him sufficiently clad, but has more clothes in his sea-bag and ready for use when he needs them. His clothes are eternally blue, the pat- tern never changes and tradition still holds her own in their making. De- cades ago whe nthe “old tars” had to climb a mast and dangle from the stretched-out ends of yardarms to do their reefing, conveniences and cus- tom made necessary the bell-shaped lower ends of the trousers. And time has not changed them one iota. The sailor also clings to his black hand- kerchief, draped about his blue blouse and tied across his breast. Tradition tells that the handkerchief thus worn originated with the British tar, for the blacks were once worn in this fashion as a mark of mourn- ing for Lord Nelson. The custom endures. Women Alien Enemies. (From the Lowell Courier-Citizen.) Wives of German and Austrian business men are among the ones nicst suspected of activity against the interests of the United States by the gathering of information for the use of opposing powers. There is small doubt of this. Many an unwise vord is lisped into the ear of women by men who ought to have more cense and a certain chivalry leads to the position that a woman, though of the enemy race and with enemy Jeanings, is not to be dealt wwith so Leavily as a male spy. It is high time to drop all that. Not a little of the spy literature with which the mzgazines of the day are flooded weals with the feminine agent—and no one has any doubt that a con- siderable proportion of the German cnemy within our gates wears the petticoat as an essential part of it daily uniform. In every community i* is probable that tire hottest expres- sions of German sympathy from the first have come from Gernian women. Certainly it has been so here. “Putting Down Egg London Day.) time for all good men the aid of the country down eggs. The water is nd sure. Eggs cheaper.
