AN rights of republication of special despatches herein are also “Right is More Precious than Peace” VON HERTLING'S PEACE TALK. There is no chance of Chancellor von Hertling fooling anybody but himself and the German people by his reachstag speech in which he doclares hat Germauny is ready to talk peace with the allies when they are sincere. This of course is a part of the peace offensive which was to be expected for the world is fully aware of the fact that where there has been any insincerity since the war opened it has been displayed by Germany. Not cnly its enemies but the cntire list of neutrals as well have perfectly good reason to doubt the sincerity of Ger- many in connection with any peace move or in fact in connection with any talk of peace. Time and azain has it been set forth as to the lines on which the al- lies will accept or talk peace. They are as firm in their positjon as ever. They zre not going to become in- volved in peace negotiations with Ger- many just to give that nation a breath- ing spell and allow it to prepare for another great war later on. But the allies are not calling for thc crushing of Germany as the chancellor claims. They do insist upon the crushing of Prussian militarism and will con- tinue to do so but they want none of Germany, and they will not sanction the expansion of Germany east or west, It is rather strange that the chan- cellor should be declaring now that Germany is ready to talk peace when the foreizn secretary has just been dropped because he claimod that Ger- many could not win by the sword alone but would have to enter into ne- gotiations. But Germany is going to catch po one napping and it might as well understand that there will be no false steps taken in regard to peace now or in the future. JOHN PURROY MITCHEL, New York has paid great honors to its late mayor, but net New York alone recognizes the loss which has been sustained in the death of John Purroy Mitchel and far more than that city and state were represented in the great gathering at his funeral. Although still in his thirties at the time of his unfortunate death, Major Mitchel had had a remarkable oppor- tunity to demonstrate his ability and ideals. He showed in the manner in which he conducted the government of the greatest city of the country what sort of a man he was. He was at all times keenly alive to the best interests of the metropolis. He was instrumen- tal in bringing gabout important re- forms and introdkcing improved gov- ernment where so much rottenness had been allowed to prevail. And in the midst of it all he showed in no unmistakable terms that he was a pa- triot of the deepest dve. This was manifested in his administration, in the support which he gave to the country in the conduct of the war and the wey in which he respond- *d when an expression of loy. Aty was called for. That this same support would have been rendered re- cardless of the politics of the federal administration there can be no ques- tion. It was not political expediency which actuated him. ‘This was ghown by the course which he pursued following his term as mayor. His ambition was to get to France and get into the fighting. There is no reason to believe but what he would have succeeded had he lived and participated in one of the most dangerous branches of the service. He nevertheless gave his life for his country just as mueh as if he had fallen on the battlefield and his death is sincerely regretted, THE VETO SUSTAINED, ‘When Presidert Wilson vetoed the wgricultural bill because of the pro- vision contained therein that the price of wheat should be fixed at $2.40 a bushel he acted in accord with the view of the lower house of congress which had approved that compremise ameunt in the bill simply to prevent a deadlock on the appropriation bill. It was the senate which sought to raise the figurs to $2.50 a bushel and the house desired it to remain at $2.20 and not until the conferees sere halk- ed was the compromise decided upon. Thus it wae enly what was expect~ of Sshen the opporlunity came to sus- ideas which are being worked out with fain the veto that the house qui 414 so, the refusal to pass the hill wyer the veto being by a vote of 172 10 72. Steps will now be taken to pass the vetoed bill with the price fixing feature eliminated, What sort of ac- tion the senate will ake remains to be seen but it is quite evident that it cannot hope to get through the in- erease in the wheat price while there are reasons of course why early ac- tion should be taken in putting through the bill without the rider. The action tgken thus far is in ac- cord with the reeds of the country and the effort to keep down the profit- eers, The wheat raisers are being well taken care of with the price at busitel. They never received any such figure before and there was no justification for boosting it up again at this time. It would simply have meant placing a greater burden upon the people and upon our allies and the re- moval of the price fixing power from those who have been named to take eare of it and putting it in the hands of politiclans. TRAINING FOREIGN TROOPS HERE. The allies of course recognize the tmportance of utilizing every possible resource for the increasing of their opposition to the enemy. Great as- sistance is being secured from the American forces that have been sent abroad to the number of 1,100,000 and which number is being increased ev- ery month. There are several nations in Central and South America which How many men they are in a position to put into an army is a question buwt it is prob- able that they are unable to get them together into sizable units and give them the same sort of training in the separate countries as they would if mbled with other ar- ed in accord with the mies and trail the allied forces. In order to take care of this situa- tion it is proposed that such forces should be a mbled and trained in cantonments in this country. It would be possible to assemble such soldiers from azil, Cuba, Costa Rica, Guatamala, Panama and Uruguay in the United States where provision has already been made for such purposes and get them into shape under their cwn officers just the samne as the raw recruits of this country are being or- d into fighting uni The ce would thus be en-of work- ing together even before the time for the actual fighting developed and| working under the same system the results accomplished would be more satisfactory than as if they were left to their own devices at scattered poin The proposition &vhich has neen advanced in this country is for the purpose of closer cooperation and Letter results. VON HINDENBURG. Fresh reports are being received to the effect that Von Hindenburg, the German commander in chief, is dead. It is known that his name has not ap- peared of late in the Berlin reports and for several weeks it has been in- hat he was out of touch with the military affairs of that nation be- cause of sickness or death. Various causes have been assigned but the ertion that he died from a v following an inter- Kaiser regarding the| western drive is more definite than anything else. This indicates that he differed with the kaiser and of course under such circumss he might as well be dead as alive for his use- fulness 2s a military leader would be at an end. What the facts are will be revealed in time but there is much to substan- tiate the claim that he is at least out of power. That such is liabie to have any serious effect upon the conduct of the war by ‘the central powers is doubted. Hindenburg Mse suddenly to his high position as the resuit of the success which he had in the east when the Russians were defeated at Tannenburg. It can hardly be claim- ed as the greatest victory of the Ger- mans but it gave him much prestige and he was selected for greater work. | Germany has other generals who have been rendering vital service, who have accomplished as much if not more than Von Hindenburg has. That Gen- eral Ludendorff will be named as his successor, if in fact Von Hindenburg is dead, is likely and it is known that he is not only qualified but that he has been closely identified with the actjvities in the field of late. view with the EDITORIAL NOTES. Over in Cermany they are smoking cherry and beach leaves. This rather looks as if the cabbage crop had been a fallure. Inasmuch as frost has seriously dam- aged the coffee crop in Brazil, an in- crease in price can be expected, taxes or no taxes. This is the season of the vear when everyone except those at the beaches is getting excited over what consti- tutes a proper bathing suit. With the resumption of steamship travel between Cuba and Mexico it looks as if their difficulties were in a fair way to be amicably adjusted. Another report from The Hague is to the effect that Hindenburg is ill. Well the outlook for Germany is enough to make any war lord sick. There is little question but what the pan-Germans are in the saddle in Ger- many, but it is becoming evident in Germany even that they are riding to a fall, The kaiser's great fear now is that the Russian bear will again walk like a man, while the great duty of the al- lies is to advance the day when It will do so. The man on the corner savs: When it comes to self praise for noble sacri- fice watch those who are throwing down their tools and going on a strike, If the suffragists experience in- creased oppositien to their cause fol- lowing that recent demenstration at Hartford they have no one to blame but themselves, There is always an exception to the rule and this seems to be furnished by the member of the British parliament who before his death at 96 declared that he had no rules for insuring longevity, The remark is frequently made that these must be great days for the news" papers. Yes, they are, only about 900 have gone out of business in this eountry since the war opened and 250 have consolidated, 1 against the floor. SUGGESTIONS FOR _It'.E HOUSEWIFE! sman pirds appear on sailor hats. Rusty flatirons can be cleaned by covering tHe rusty parts with sweet oil and powdered quicklime and allowing them to stand a few days—then wash- ing them with hot water and plenty of sal soda. Solled and finger-marked _birdseve | maple can be cleaned by washing with a soft rag and lukewarm water to which a litile kerosene has been added. Rub dry quickly and polish with a soft cloth. A thin ceat of potash left on the sink over night once a week will re- movd the ugly stains that will not vield to kerosene. It should be applied with care, as it is poisonous. A piece of art gurh will clean white leather girdles. A gentle rubbing will remove all spots that come from rub- bing against objects in the hand or on the outside. A teaspoonful of dry mustard rubbed into the hands after preparing onions or fish will remove the eodor com- pletely. It should be rubbed in as if it were soap. To test bread dough and to make sure it has risen sufficiently for bak- ing, press the finger on the dough. If the hole remains the dough is in prop- er comdition. To test a broom, press the edge If the straws remain in a solid mass the broom is a good one; if they bristle out and bend down it isn't. If vou want to be sure that bread pudding will be light, little baking powder to it. the add a It is a good idea to keep a piece of sandpaper over .the sink to clean pots and pans with POTASH PCSSIBILITIES. To clean a bean pot put into it one | teaspoonful of potash, fill with boilng water and let stand several hour. It will then as easily as any dish and the water is odoriess. Do not scrape or throw away your enameled di in which food has hurned. m into one teaspoon- and the pint of boiling water a for a short time. The potash dissolves the burned food and vour dish will be saved. If badly burned it may reguire a second boil- ing. One teaspoonful of potash dissolved in one pint of boiling water will re- move grease spots from floors. Never put the hands into’strong solution of potash. Turn the water out and wash the dishes in clean soap and water. EVERYDAY HELPS. Fried edibles have fallen repute beea o few cooks know how to fry correctiy. Soggy, greasy, indi- gestible results follow the average ex- periment with hot fat, and in many families foods are served only baked, boiled or sauted. Never pile croquettes, oysters or doughnuts one on the other. Keep them separate, so that they may remain crisp all over. into dis- The usual way of serving scrapple is to cut it into slices about one-half inch thick, dust the slices with flour or cracker dust or dry cornmeal and fry until the outside is somewhat crisp. Serve hot. GRIND HORSERADISH. Instead of grating horseradish, yhich is very smarting to the eyes, put it through the food grinder, using the fine knife, and erind a cooked beet with it. This gives a fine flavor and nice color. s HEALTH AND BEAUTY. ce or vinegar, if rubbed will increase both their gloss and smoothness. Beware of too frequent use, however, for this may drv the nailfold and cause painful cracks. If there is the slightest tendency to callous, the feet should be rubbed with powdered pumice stone. Profes- sional dancers, who depend on the fit- ness of their feet for their livilihood age them with good old fashion- ed mutton tallow. Preceding the massage, the feet are bathed in tepid water in which there has been dis- solved a teaspoonful of powdered bo- rax or a little witch hazel To reduce superfluous fat you must work. Your path will wind through many lanes of self-sacrifice before your mirror will give back the coveted wil- Tow: age. Your attainment of the ideal will mean hot work, too, for vig- orous exercise is necessary. A daily walk of five miles should not be ex- cessive if you are in good condition. Give a fair trial to the tonic baths so helpful for many girls who complain of “tired feelings.” Daily brushing of the brows and an occasional treatment with a tonic are excellent. As to the lashes, they also recuire attention if they are scraggly or too short. Clipping by omne who knows how to do so expertly will re- sult in making them grow, as a gen- eral rule. Oil of cajeput applied oc- casionally with a tiny camel's hair brush is a good tonic. And speaking of tonics, it is an excellent idea to pro- vide oneself with a good skin food or Jotion. Applying this to the flesh oc- casionally will cleanse the pores and freshen and beautify the complexion. NUT DOLL FOR CHILD, A doll made of nuts is certain to please a child. Choose a large Eng- lish walnut for the body and a smaller one for the head. Almonds are used for the arms and legs and hazel nuts for the hands and feet. Drill a hole one each side of the top and one in the bottom of the nut to be used for the head. Insert the large nut and drill a hole in the top for the head and four others where the arms and legs are to be at- tached, and a hole in each end of the almonds and hazelnuts. PReginning at the top run a narrow ribbon through the various nuts, bring- ing it back out at the top again, where it is tied to form a hair ribbon. Finish by painting features and hair, and little daughter has a doll that js a “nut” to be sure but very acceptable. USE FOR PLATES, Copper ash trays may be made from the copper plates from which th bride’s wedding invitations, “at home'’ cards and marriage announcements had been engraved. The plates were nat- urally the size of the invitations, and when pounded up at the sides which is a simple bit of work for the jeweler, they make gecod looking trays. The script, reading backward, presents a novel appearance. DICTATES OF FASHICN, Percale frocks are fashionable. Parasols have large polka dots. Navy blue serge is smartly combined! Leather covered furniture may be WOMAN IN LIFE AND IN THE KITCHEN fried | with blue tulle. ‘The new ribbons are very elaborate. ———— As the season advances more large hats are noticed. Silk jersey skirts are ai-nong the prettiest of the season. When you choose your percale dress choose a dotted one. Pony coats are in high favor for the summer suit of silk. Braided black satin gowns always have a certain distinetion. A gray silk frock is made attractive with a girdle of green. ! Low heels for women's shoes are more and more in demand. Cotton frocks are permitted in the most fashionable social circles. Plaid gingham is more effective when combined with plain material. Colored organdie frocks are charm- ing with organdie hats to match. Sports clothes nowadays are very smart and serviceable, instead of gay. Ribbons to be knitted into sweaters are now to be had in many colors: ORGANDIE AND NET. The giri who is clever at home dress- making should fashicn for herself this vear one of the enchanting little sum- mer dresses which combine organdie; {and shirred net. Neither material is| expensive, vet the two together give | an_ effect of dainty distinction and elegance. One of those pretty frocks shown is of pale blue organdie and white shirred net—ordinary cotton net which comes two yards wide at 60 ang 70 cents the yard. The whole skirt consists of alternate bands of organdie and shirred net and the organdie bodice has a round neck with a draw-up tuck of shirred net and net sieeves with bands of the blue organdie set in at the elbow ruffies of the net. A blue finishes this simple and Another model of pink net and p oreandie, the skirt of organdie over it an apron tunic of the net with several ruffles of net. The bodice of organdie has a deep, rfled fichu of net and the sash is of net with a na row ruffie all around and three ruffles on the ends which fall over the net apron. 1 above | HANDKERCHIEFS. If the handkerchiefs are yellow, the reason is that they have not been properly washed. To overcome this vellow color put the handkerchiefs in coid water, in which there is kerosene, about one teaspoonful to a quart and a shaving of good laundry soap. Let the handkerchiefs boil in this about three hours. Take them out, dry in the sun, and they will be snowy white. This treatment will apply to any linen or white clothing. CLEAN WINDOW SHADES. To clean soiled white window shades wring cloth out of warm water (not hot), have near a dish of baking soda, wipe off shade. Dip cloth in soda, wipe off again, then take a clean dry cloth and wipe shade dry as possible. At first they will look dark, but when dry will be nice and white. NEEDLEWORK NOTES. A loose feather stitch for sewing tucks into dresses for growing girls is much better than either hand em- broidered or machine stitching. In knitting a sock the beginner finds casting stitches on the dangling needles very confusing. Try this way which is far easier. Cast all the stitches, say sixty, on one needle, then knit off twenty on each of the other needles and proceed. To sew on buttons begin to sew on | the right side and sew back and forth several times before you begin to sew through the button. The knot will be under the button and not on| the wrong side to be rubbed off in| Jaundering. In sewing buttons on coats, sew over a match or toothpick and wrap thread for a shank. If you need a casing for the top of a camisole, or nightgown, or kiddie’s frock in a hurry, try making a wide cat stitch on the outside of the gar- ment with a heavy silk or mercerized cotton. You can run a ribbon or tape through this and make it decorative as well as useful in a much shorter time than stitching on the usual bias fac- | ing. There is another way, too, of | crocheting a row of open fllet mesh | and sewing it on. This takes a little longer, but wears well for wash cloth- es. CORRECT ATTIRE. It is invariably noticeable that the wemen who always seem to be well dressed and do so at small expense are those who select a color that is becoming and adhere to it, using for variation colors that are closely ailied to it. Some womcn tire of continually using a certain color and often resort to a dress of a decidedly different color Jjust for a change, oniy to find it rather an expensive experiment, jnasmuch as it sometimes means an entirely new outfit of hats, gloves and other acces- sories. By using tans, browns and taupes you will find many little touches of color can be given to a costume by adopting accessories of brighter shades. The same might also be said of blue, except that it is often a task to get blues that go well together, but where | time is no factor in shopping the matching can be accomplished; blue is almost a universally becoming color and staple blues are always good. Many women who motor will find themselyes confronting a problem re- garding correct attire, especially in these days when a ninety or a hundred mile run in an open car is considered only a jaunt. One wishes at the same time to be dressed to dine at any of the restaurants and feel as spick and span as those who tour in a closed car. For this purpose there is no garment quite as desirable as the long motor coat, tailored and cut on good lines. Underneath such a coat one may wear any sort of frock that is com- fortable and that will make a good ap- pearance when the wrap is removed. INSTEAD OF EGGS. Grated carrots can be used in place of eggs in meat loaf. Use any loaf re- cipe and substitute two or three grated carrits for eggs. Use a cupful of to- matoes instead of water to mix the bread crumbs. Employ grated carrots in place of eggzs in pancakes, too. CLEANING LEATHER, !

Views of the Vigilantes CHILD PATRIOTS By Harrison Rhodes of The Vigilantes There is a great deal of talk about the need of teaching patriotism in the schools. Germany, so we tell our- selves, learneq this long ago as part of preparedness for national action. So now, though almost afraid that we are learning one lesson too late we are reorganizing our schools, weeding out disloyal teachers, and including in our curriculum this great new study, a love of ccuntry, and there is a great deal of quoting of the proverb which says that as the twig is bent so is_the tree inclined. No one doubts this proverb, but it may sometimes seem a little discour- aging that we must wait ten or twenty years for trees and results. Fortuna- tely we need not wait that long for results. Any one who has studied the situation has already discovered with surprise and delight that the re- sult is here and now and that the eff- ect upon the prosecution of the war of schoo!l children’s eager patriotism is powerful and immediate. What no one had reckoned with was the effect of the child's beliefs upon its parents and its home. We have joked a great deal about the modern child’s bringing up its parents; we are now seeing it happen. The child who goes from school with a simple passionate belief that an American's whole duty is to help America win the war brings to bear upon any doubts in his parents’ mind, upon any tortu- ous pro-German reasoning .ther, a battery of innocence and fervor that clears out the enemy as a victorious charge of our boye in France clears the Huns' trenches.

If the home to which the child goes is one but the seas, if it is one of those muddled, only half Americanized families that the light from the school is carried, you can see how the influence of the school house is building up in the souls of our so lately alien citizens the image of America such as we who know her and love her best would hould be there.

Particularly should this be true if an official order, or trade conditions, should compel the dealer to sell in half or quarter ton lots.—Hartford Post. One of the practices which the new egulations for automobile owners will stop is the thoughtless and ex- pensive act of permitting the motor to run while the car is parked. Any street of the city will reveal at any hour of the day a number of large cars, amply equipped with self-starting devices, standing idle for many min- utes, but with the motor running. This is a large and useless waste when multiplied by the number of cars the nation over whose owners practice this habit. There i5 no rezson on earth why any car should stand for more than a few minutes wjth engine running. Even' the smallest car, when once heated up, is not a hard proposition to start by cranking. But it is not the owners of these small and econo- mical cars who are the guilty ones. Rather is it the practice of the owners of the heavier and costlier cars. To them a pint of gasoline is no account. —Bridgeport Telegram. The ways and means committee of | which Claude Kitchin is chairman fa- vors a heavy tax upon luxuries, which will strike to the bone.
