MADE PUBLIC
Friday, was the Letter Of Senator Plat Con.
cerning His Amendment.
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
Washington, d. c., June 7.-During
the conference between Secretary Root
and the Cuban committee, the Secre-
tary wrote letter to Senator Platt, of
Connecticut, who introduced the Platt
amendment, asking for his views rela-
tive to intervention as mentioned in
the third clause of the amendment
Senator Platt and his letter was fur
nished the committee confidentially by
the Secretary and was incorporated in
and made a part of the acceptance of
the Platt amendment by the constitu-
tional convention, The letter was
made public today by the War Depart
ment The letter states: Il beg to
state that the amendment was care
fully prepared with the object of
avoiding any possible idea that by the
acceptance thereof the constitutional
convention would thereby establish
protectolate or suzerainty or in any
manner whatsoever compromise the
independence or sovereignty of Cuba,
and speaking for myself it seems i'm
possible that such an Interpretation
can be given to the clause. believe
that the amendment should be consid
cred as a whole and it ought to be
clear on reading that its purpose is to
secure and safeguard Cuban indepen-
dence"

DEsiCcATEp VEGETABLES.
Dried Garden Truck VIII lie Used by
Uncle SANS soldiers.

Dried Garden Truck VIII lie Used by
Uncle SANS soldiers.
Desiccated vegetables are coming on
the market. for use especially by pros
pectors and hunters. who are obliged
to economize every ounce in the weight
of the provisions they carry. Necessity
compels them to select such foods as
combine the maximum of nutriment
with the minimum of bulk and avoir-
dupois. This implies water-free sub
stances. and dried fruits and vege-
tables are especially adapted for the
purpose. or late the War Department
has been experimenting with products
of this kind; 1t has found them whole
some and in all respects desirable, and
is likely to use them largely in future
yefrs.
White potatoes. carrots and sweet
potatoes have been found particularly
available for desiccation. The sweet
potatoes are cut up into little cubes.
while the white potatoes and carrots
are sliced. When wanted for use. they
have to be soaked in water before
cooking them, as sold. they are sup
posed to be absolutely water free.
What a saving in weight and bulk they
represent will be realized when 1t Is
understood that fresh white potatoes
contain so per cent OF water and fresh
carrots 80 per cent.
Experiments have proved that the
drying process causes no loss OF nutri-
ment and that the product furnishes
most valuable addition to the food OF
people who are unable to get fresh
vegetables. The desiccated white po-
tatoes are as rich in muscle-forming
element as the best wheat flour though
consisting mainly of the starchy ma
terial which is SO useful as fuel for the
body machine. The same thing may De
said of the carrots and sweet potatoes;
but a notable fact is that dried eastern
vegetables are richer in starch ana
poorer In muscle-forming material
! than those grown in California.

NOT long since . successful book of

European who had never been near
er Asia than the eastern boundary of
vienna The work. according to a
London paper. was made possible by
an agency for bogus travellers which is
established In Paris and which has
ehents all over Europe and some In
ehe United States. This agency, SAYS
tue London authority, is nominally one
LOT doing the usual touring business,
put 1t actually exists for providing any
one who can pay the necessary fees
with complete evidence OF their tray
els, posting them up on all the de-
tails OF their Journey" and giving
them perfect description of all the
sights they saw; In fact. generally
turning them over to their friends,
travel-stained. and full of adventure.
ana the pseudo-tourist can choose al
most any tour in the world. IL he IL
prepared to pay well for It,
he can go down into some cheap
Iarm house, send fee to the agency.
and later he can turn up among his
friends with wonderful knowledge OF.
Tor instance. the Alps. file of receipt
ed hotel bills. his rortmanteaus
smothered In foreign labels, and with
an armful OF small trifes bought In
the little hamlets he didn't stay at or
pass through-Swiss clocks, models of
h.
'chipped on the higher mountain
peaks-and he will be able to tell you
all about the good and the bad hotels
at which he stopped along the route.
In short. he could thoroughly convince
you that he has actually taken the
tour.
To talk of having done the Alps is
the ambition of thousands of people
who have not the nerve for mountain
eering. or who cannot afford the ex-
pense, cheap as the tour is nowadays.
1t is common enough to find people
posing as travellers on the strength of
this little tour alone. and 1t is prob
tlefolk have never set eyes upon the
ldHlouS mountains. Inc alpenstOCk,
guide-ropes and views they show their
friends as evidence OF their trips can
be produced at very moderate prices:
and the agency for bogus travellers has
well-written little books, from which
their clients can learn quite as much
as they could by actually taking the
tour.
Also, for small additional fee, eli
ents are provided with notebooks and
the copy from which they can write in
the notebooks short daily accounts OF
their doings during the tour. And all
this glory for about the fourth or fifth
of what the :our would actually cost
them,
By no means is the Alps tour the
only thing demanded by the clients OF
this unique agency. Tours to all sorts
OF outlandish places are constantly be-
ing arranged for richer classes OF bo-
gus globe-trotters.
You can go through" Siberia by the
courtesy of the agency for about 30
guineas, without the slightest personal
inconvenience or any loss OF time.

Smoking In Cuba.

Cuba produces no tobacco for chew
ing or for pipe smoking. The Cubans
who smoke pipes might be counted on
ones fingers without making second
round OH the fingers. The cigar and
the cigarette prevail. To what extent
the Cuban cigarette might ever become
popular with American smokers is n
matter beyond determination. 1t is GER
tain that most Americans of prolonged

Especial Letterl


Miss Lillian B. Taylor of Detroit,
Mich, is a very remarkable young
xoman, who prefers to summer on a
western ranch instead OF at fash
ionable resort, and who shoots bears
and kills rattlesnakes in place of play
ing golf. to pass away the time.
Miss Taylor's father owns a ranch in
Montana. near Butte. and thither the
Young lady hied herself early in June.
as she has been in the habit of doing
for several summers past She is a
devotee Of horseback riding, and one
morning coon after her arrival at the
ranch, while taking her constitutional
she found that the big traps had closed
over a huge bear, who was growing
and roaring in pain. Miss Lillian al
ways carries her rifle when out on
horseback, and as she neared the mon
ster and viewed the situation, she
raised her rifle. took good aim, and let
fly bullet that did the work without
delay. Bruin gave one dying groan,
and rolled over, dead bear. The
beast measured six feet in length.
Miss Taylor keeps her eye on the
traps from day to day. and later she
shot another bear, not quite so large.
Miss Taylor is passionately fond OF
the wild, free life of the ranch. She is
a splendid shot and superb horse
woman. She has owned a pony since
she was years Of age, and her friends
recall the times when she used to
hitch up the pony, the COW, and the
dog, tandem, and drive them about the
back yard of her Detroit home. She
rides horseback astride, wearing dl-
vided skirts, red wool sweater and n
wide-brimmed fedora hat. She is a
blonde, small In stature. strong. ath-
letic, bright and healthy. When she
comes home to Detroit she avoids So
cial functions, and loves rather to
mount her horse and speed away on
the boulevard. She Is fond of reading
and cares little for the companionship
or admiration OF the opposite sex.
But let 1t not be thought that Miss
Taylor lacks womanly accomplish
ments. On the contrary, she is an un
