NAMES FAMOUS IN WAR ANNALS

The names familiar to the students
OF the great wars of 100 years ago are
appearing daily in current dispatches.
Koenigsberg, Ailestein, LODI and Ka-
llsch recall the campaign of 1867,
when French and Russians met as enc
mics and what was left of the Prus-
sian army co-operated with the Cars
troops. Belfort has been a notable
name in the French military annals for
more than two centuries, while Yer
dunn. Longwy, and Toul are almost as
celebrated for battle or siege. Bel

called "the cockpit of Europe" Tao

repeat the flank march that carried
the allies to Paris in 1915, after Water

OLD BATTLE GROUND
Belgium Has Been Scene of Many
Bloody Campaigns.
Her People Have Struggled for Gen.
turtles for independence and Neu-
traIity-War Strength Largely
Increased Last Year.

The determined stand made by the
Belgians to keep their eleven thousand
square miles of territory, slightly larg-
er than the state Of Maryland, from
becoming a battle ground for other ma
tions, rests on an experience OF similar
conditions dating back to the days of
Charlemagne and the early Frankish
empire.
The greater part of what is now Bel
GUM was, in the early history of Eu-
rope, governed by Teutonlc people.
Flanders, the remainder of Belgium,
was under French rule. The progress
of the people of this land up to the
early nineteenth century was gained
only through constant struggles to es-
cape from encroachment of other Eu-
ropean nations. Holland, France, Ger
many, Austria and Spain, in that ma
tion's glory, all have tried their hand
at holding and governing the Belgian
people. The neutrality which Belgium
is trying to maintain was guaranteed
in 1882 by concert Of the powers,
after Belgium had gained its independ-
ence, by severe fighting, from the
Dutch. Even then It took a French
and English blockade of the Dutch
coast to firmly establish Belgian free
dom.
Belgium is the most thickly popu-
lated country in Europe. 1t has an
area of II 400 square miles with a pop
ulation Of seven and one-half million.
Maryland, with an area of 1927
square miles with a population of
1,294,450.
This density of population in the lit
tie kingdom has enforced the cultiva-
ton Of small farms. The number of
farms of less than one and oneQuarter
acres is more than half million, with
only few thousand of so to 125 acres.
The number of larger farms is now on
the increase, partly because of the
growth of the stock raising industry.
Other causes of prosperity are the
coal mines and the textile and iron
and steel industries. Because of the
presence of a great mass of industrial
workers the cause of Socialism is
strong.
The capital Of the kingdom is Brus-
sells, with a population, including sub
urbs, Of 100000 The nation has no
navy, but does a large importing and
exporting trade, with fair sized mer-
chant marine. The chief seaports on
the North Sea are Ostend, Heyst and
Newport. The only colony of the
country is the Belgian Congo, Africa,
where rubber is the chief export.
Belgium's war strength up to last
year was estimated at 100000. Almost
as If in some forehanded knowledge of
the turn of European affairs, a new
law was passed increasing the war
strength to 100000. This is divided
into 100000 for field service, 10000 for
auxiliary service and 10000 for gar
risons. The large garrison force is
made necessary by the large number
of fortresses on the several frontiers.

to take the time one would enjoy at
lake or stream to prepare fruit, even
in the best equipped and ventilated
kitchen, in hot weather. Peaches,
which are such delicious fruit. may
be a delight long after they are out
of season if carefully prepared.
Peach Marmalade.-Boil II pounds
OF peaches until reduced to a pulp,
with a small amount of water, then
put them through sieve and add
half pound of sugar for each pound
of fruit. Boil together, stirring con-
stantly, until reduced to a thick
marmalade Put away in bottles or
jars for winter use.
delicious filling for cake or for a
sauce for ice cream may be made Of
very ripe peaches, peeled and put
through a colander, then mixed with
equal parts of sugar and put in sealed
jars in the ice chest Weeks after
peaches are out Of the market this
sauce will still be good IL kept in cold
storage in the ice chest. This makes
excellent fruit for shortcake, too.
Plum Catsup.-Take half a peck
of blue plums, one pint of vinegar,
half the weight of the plums in sugar
or less if liked less sweet. Add a
tablespoonful each of cloves, CHINA
mon and allspice, tied in muslin
cloth. Boil all together. strain through
a colander and boil again until of the
right consistency.
Spiced Peaches.-Take three pounds
of sugar, pint and a half of good
vinegar, one ounce of cloves, two
sticks of cinnamon, boil all together,
then add seven pounds Of peeled
peaches. Let them heat through
slowly. then when tender and rich in
color dip them from the strip and
put into jars. Boil the strip down
till quite thick and pour over them.
Seal and serve with meats in winter.
These are the same as the old-time
picked peaches which were never
peeled.

WHAT SHALL THE WAR BE
CALLED7

What is the war to be called?
Peace advocates, scientific students
of war, already speak of it as "Arma-
geddon"
IL might be called the Anti
Teutonic' war; not from partisan mo,
tives, but simply to avoid the clumsi-
ness of seeking to enumerate the
Frankie, Russo, Anglo and other OPP
ponents Of Germany and Austria.
But in common use most Americans
now call IL the European war" The
"Pan-European war" would probably
be better. And this may be the title
by which the struggle will be known
in the future.
But It would be the best label OF all
could civilization impress its verdict
upon the great conflict by sending it
down into history as The Last War"

gold mines in Siberia and not penny
weight of that gold ever gets out Of
Russia. 1t is all in the gold vaults of

only nation of Europe that does not.

WHEN AND HOW
TO WATER PLANTS

Watering is at once the most important
and most difficult of gardening tasks. It
is impossible to say exactly how much
water should be given to plants in pots;
all one can do is to advise that the soil
DE kept moistAnever saturated. never
dry. Experience alone teaches the gard
ener when water is necessary. but II the
amateur takes care to water his plants
only when the soil begins to get dry, and
before it has really got dry. he cannot
go far wrong.
1t is obvious that plants need more va
er in summer than in winter. whereas
during the former season they might
need moistening twice q day. once q
week in winter probably would prove
sufficient The condition under which
plants are grown, the temperature in
which they are kept, and the state Of
the weather influence the question Of CIV
ing water. One rule, however. needs r.
be observed without fail. that when wat
er is applied let the pot be filled to the
rim so the soil IL moistened thoroughly,
then give no water at all until the soil
appears to need It
One of the chief causes Of failure in
growing plants In pots Is that Of giving
q little water frequently, a. 90 many
amateurs appear To do. This practice is
bound to. result In sour soil and the con-
ssqyent " h=estb 8 The plants

two calves hearts, which is enough for

with water cress.
Dutch Sauce.
One ounce Of butter. One ounce Of

One yolk of egg. One teaspoonful of

PRETTY THINGS
MADE OF FLOWERS

From time immemorial children have
loved to pick the wsyside blossoms and
deal with them in fanciful ways
Many delightful things may be made
with the simple blooms which abound on
every hand.
Perhaps not every one knows how to
| make a proper daisy chain: this Is the
best way to set about the business
Gather the daisies with long stems; now
make a loop in the stem and pop the
head Of the daisy through the opening.
finally pulling the looped stalk quite
tight. A daisy chain made on these lines
Is secure.
Another pretty chain may be made Of
dandelion stems In this case the howe
heads will not be needed 1t will be
found that one. end Of each hollow stalk
fits beautifully into the other. and. II
the stalks are linked up in this way. q
really beautiful chain of rings Ii formed.
Chains of leaves are easy to make.
providing fairly long stalks are avail
able. The leaves are fastened together
by passing the stem Of one through the
top Of the other, and then pushing 1t
back through its own leaf. Ivy leaves
are suitable for this purpose.
After all, one Of the prettiest things Of
the springtime II the cowslip ball. This
is easily formed by pinching OF the
stalks of the flowers Just below the
heads. Now get a fine piece Of string
and tie one end of this to some support.
such as a gate post. and hold the other
end in one hand. Next arrange. the cow
slip flowers closely all along the string,
singing them crosswise. When the string
Is crowded all the way with blossoms
gather up the two ends and tie firmly.
At once the cowslips fall In such a way
that a perfect ball is formed.
A primrose ball may be made In the
same manner IL small punches Of these
flowers containing about six or eight are
tied together and then slung across the
piece of string in the same way as the
cowslips. OF course. the idea might be
extended to various flowers by simply
making a quantity Of small punches in
the first place.

FASHION FANCIES
OF THE MOMENT

A good many of the new skirts have
shown silhouette which strongly sug-
gests the Turkish trouser. But upon
examination ,the effect is shown to be
produced by gathers. cleveriy manipu-
lated. and folds of material about the
ankles.
The hip yoke on some of the new
skirts is a marked feature. This yoke
is not tight. 1t really suggests the same
line given by the rather loose hip gR-
die. But IL does serve to hold in the
fullness of the skirt at the waistline. ana
1t is quite satisfactory.
1t is odd, by the way. that the butter
fly persists. 1t still appears in orna-
ments for the hair. in lace medallions
or underwear and blouses and in designs
in silk and crepe.
The shops of the Partisan antiquaries
are being ransacked in search Of genu-
Inc antique fobs similar to those which
were invariably carried by the dandies
of the eighteenth century. These fobs'
are mounted on black silk or fnoire. and
they look intensely smart hanging from
the pocket of a loose waistcoat or from
under a folded waist belt.
The tailored suits of today lend them
selves to this kind of ornament. Redfern
and others are giving slightly man
nish" outline to some Of their new coats.
and some of our Partisan tailors-not
Redfsrn. be 1t understood-are approv-
ing Of the idea of introducing side pock-
cts In severely plain cloth skirts. These
pockets resemble the pockets in mans
trousers. and Redfern will have none Of
them; nevertheless certain other tailors
Of note find the idea amusing" ~
For the afternoon frocks there Is o
wide ranxe of choice. Delightful frocks
for formal wear are made up in some
one Of tie soft crepes or chiffon. tat
feta or satin stuffs or one Of the sheer
yeilings or chiffon materials.
