from central and northern European
countries that the dasheen cannot be
grown successfully where the summers
are not tropical. In fact. the dasheen
cannot. be grown with commercial sue
cess where the froStless season is less

is desirable. Contrary to the belief OF
many people. the United States is a
country of tropical summers, and the

soil suitable for cotton. but may be
grown in soil suitable for potatoes. The
importance of the dasheen To the south

it natures in the fall, whereas the main
potato crop in the south natures in the
spring. and in winter the southern states
have to obtain their potato supply from

sirable to scrape the dasneens before
baking as they are then more convenient
for eating and the soft crust which
forms when they are properly baked is
particularly delicious The corIns may
be cut in half from top to base in order
to lessen the time needed for baking.
The time required is about the same as
for potatoes of the same size. They
should be served hot. Season with salt
and plenty of butter. and pepper il de-
sired Gravy instead of butter may be
used.
The dasheen when properly baked and
served is mealy. and the favor is much
like that of the white potato, but more
or less suggestive OF chestnuts. III not
overbaked the skin when properly
scrubbed or scraped beforehand will be
found of delicious flavor. As the dashcen
is drier than the potato ii requires more
butter In general il may be used in the
different WAYS in which the white potato
is used. 1t may also he candied like the
sweet potato. The flesh. when cooked, is

Nations Maintain Patrol.

The armed patrol on this railroad has
since been maintained by the various ma
tions. each furnishing guard for its par
ticuiar district.
Officials here pointed out that Russia
would have an unfair advantage should
the foreign forces be withdrawn, as. in
the event OF necessity arising, Russian
troops could be rushed into Chill province
by the railroads, which bring the Rus
sian frontier comparatively near the Chi
nese capital. not TO mention the dispatch
with which Rssian forces could be sent

the State Department late yesterday i'm
message from American Minister
Reinsch. at Picking. Minister Reinsch will
be instructed to confer with his colleagues
OF the diplomatic corps representing the
other nine countries maintaining armed
forces in China, but ii is considered here
as unlikely that the other governments
will acquiesce in the program mapped
out by Russia. 1t is almost certain the
United States will dissent from the Rus
sian proposal
The peace protocol which ended the
Boxer uprising stipulated that the vari-
Gus nations now maintaining armed forces
in China you'd be given permission to
continue not only the various legation
guards. but sufficient forces to guarantee
that the railroad from Picking to the sea-
port of Tientsin should at all times be
open for safe and uninterrupted trans

OF the dispatches from Mexico this

rule at this time. No ultimatum has
been sent TO Mexico and it is un
fortunate that the press should give
credence TO such a report.
"The harm done by speculation or
