the command of the sea on the Bel
gian littoral
Should the German navy undertake
this venture, it would be confronted
with much the same proposition as
has met the British fleet since the
commencement of the war, and il
would assume the same risks of col
liding with mines heretofore faced
by the British alone. because the Brit
ish mine field stretches along the
British coast from Ostend southwark.
II, as the allies claim, their left can
not now be turned, the only alterna-
tive left the Germans is to hack away
through the trio of armies confronting
them.
Climax Appears to Be Near.
Observers here think that this eli
max cannot be far off, and the Lon
Ion papers are quoting Emperor Will
liam, who. in addressing his troops
somewhere in France on October 8, is
reported to have said:
Before the leaves fall from the
trees here we shall all be back in the
dear Fatherland."
The probability that the emperor
never expressed this opinion does not
detract from its value in the British
construction.

Germans a third time" says a CORE

FIRST AMERICAN DIPLOMAT.

The first diplomatic agent of the
United States was Silas Deane, who
was born at Groton, Conn, 176 years
ago today. He became a merchant,
and was a delegate to the first CONT
mental congress. In the spring of IT'S
he was sent to France as a secret dip
lornatic agent. He posed as a mer-
chant from Bermuda, and on his ar
rival in Paris sought an interview
with Count dc Vergennes, the minis
ter for foreign affairs, who refused to
receive him. Deane' was reduced to
the direct poverty. and vas elected by
his landlady. Subsequent American
ambassadors have complained of the
lack Of suitable embassies, but Deane
was reduced to a point where he had
to accept poor lodgings from a sympa-
thetic Frenchman. Eventually he was
given an audience with Vergennes,
and began the diplomatic relations
which eventually resulted in the
French alliance. In 1777 Deane was
recalled. In the bitter controversy
which followed his recall, Thomas
Paine revealed the fact that supplies
furnished the colonies had been fur
nished 10Y the French governments
diplomatic indiscretion which cost
Paine his place as secretary of the
committee on foreign affairs. Deane,
driven into poverty and exile, died in
England in 1889. Half q century later
his claim for his services abroad was
adjusted by congress and O. large sum

A TALK TO TIE BOY.

Come. boy to your dad. Let me tell
you some things
OF the mar who loved me as Pm
loving you.
For the hearts but a pendulum heavy
that swings
Aye forward n back as all pen
dulums 10.
And tonight mine has swung far away
to the time
When your dad had a dad just as
you have, my SON.
A dad to whose arms | IA welcome
to climb
When his day in the cornheld or
meadow was done.
1 crept into arms that were stronger,
my lad;
And his hands-O so tender-were
harder than mine.
For the world had been stern with
the dad Of your dad
Yet would that my soul were as
gentle and fine
AS the n roughly clad in that body
Of his,
That lavishly gave of it's strength
for the one
Who shelters you now. And my
prayers burden is
That you may think thus of your
father, my son.
What I've gained, l have ~gained-his
the heavier cost;
He In embryo held all the things 1
have done.
But l fear-vaguely ~fear-there are
some things I've lost
That sadly diminish the triumph,
my son.
So lie close, little man--there's so lit
tie W. know
Except that I love you and you can
love me,
And I'll smile with content that you're
loving me so,
And be glad in that love, as my dad
used to be.

GREEN CORN HAS NEW VOGUE

New York Sun: Chatting dish spe-
cialties at the hotels just now include
many preparations Of green corn. The
majority of these are adaptations OF
old southern recipes, which have been
revived with a few fancy touches by
modern chefs. A spoonful OF chopped
green peppers or some slivers OF pi-
niento, a top sprinkling of cheese or a
few extra eggs will work wonders In
transforming a humble green corn
dish into a chatting, dish connection.
The glamor Of the attractive service
eoes a long way toward the popularity
Of such a dish, and the delicate flavor
OF green corn happens to blend partlc-
ularly well with many Of the best
liked accessories,
The simplest recipe for stewed or
creamed corn can be so glorified that
It will bear little resemblance to its
original state. A couple of egg yolks
beaten into the sauce gives a rich yell
low. which adds to the a~ttractivenesa
of the dish, as well as to its nutritive
value. Slices OF stewed okra blend
wen with the flavor of corn, and
ed as a soup, or the same mixture can
he baked and served direct from the
dish. The process is the same in each
ease. the variation being merely In the
amount Of liquid added and the mode
Of serving.
Corn chowder with okra is a favor

served al some Of the establishments
run by southern housekeepers. Any
simple creamed corn mixture, with
the addition of three eggs to every
cup Of corn. will result in a corn sou9-
fie, which must be sent direct from the
oven to the table. This baked corr
dish is on the list Of ITO order spe-

further, and now takes a rank as a
ire for insanity.
Many of the great alienists insist
that continuous bathing is the best
remedy for mental excitement. In
hosuitals where bathing facilities are
scarce the cold pack is used as a sub
stitute. Bathing induces quietness
and brings on quiet sleep at night In
many cases the continuous bath takes
the place Of the padded cell. The
patient is less likely to rave and
smash the furniture.
The Germans have been using the
bath in treating the insane for some
twenty years, but in America the
method is recent.
