MOTOR GUN RoUTS GERMANS
Belgian War Machine Dashes Into
kaiser's Ranks, and Many
Are Killed.

London.-The correspondent of the
Chronicle at Client says the Belgian
armored automobile, carrying Max
i'm gun, has again accomplished
notable exploit. He says:
ITO the north Of Alost the armored
car came suddenly around the cor
ner and ran into party of German
cavalry and cyclists. The cavalrymen
had dismounted and the automobiles
gun annihilated most OF them before
they could remount
Then the car started in pursuit of
the cyclists, killing six. AS they fed
along the road, lodging shots and TAX
ing shelter behind trees when posi-
BILE, four others were wounded and
several were captured.
THE commander of the car. Lieu
tenant Delhaix, returned to headquar-
tiers with helmets, overcoats, saddlery
and cycles. He carried q crew of
only four men. There are, however,
always many volunteers for these ex-
petitions. The Germans refer to the
car as land cruiser"

AIRSHIP AS NEWS GETTER
Hudson Maxim, the Noted Inventor,
Says II Is Ally Of the War
Correspondent.

Port Deposit, Md.-The present war
in Europe has shown that aviation is
one of the most important arms of
the military service, declares Hudson
Maxim, the noted inventor, In an ad-
dress to the boys of the Tome school
here. Mr.. Maxim came to lecture for
the school, and took as his topic
aerial warfare, especially the aerial
warfare of the future, built upon les
sons learned from the present war.
Aviation makes 1t possible to keep
one army informed of the position and
the movements of the other" said Mr..
Maxim, 80 as to render surprise at
taeks in force impossible. The aero
plane is also a great news gatherer
and is the strong ally of the newspa-
per correspondent.
II believe that the aeroplane will be
a more important war engine than
the dirigible balloon. There are
strong indications that aeroplanes
may be made of sufficient size and
power for the transportation Of troops
with arms for very effective fighting.
Had either Of the warning nations Of
today known before the war what they
have since learned, each side would
be equipped with large fleets Of aero
planes.
In future wars 1t will be the first
aim to clear the skies Of flying ma
chimes of an enemy in short, swift
scouting machines, troop carriers for
raiding purposes, and those manned
and equipped as aeroplane destroyers,
just as we have torpedo destroyers
today.
THE small damage which has been
done by bombs dropped from aero
planes and balloons has fully demon
strated that little result can be ex-
pected from aerial bombardments,"

FRENCH LOSS MOUNTS HIGH
Three Hundred Thousand Slain and
Wounded Up to and Including
Battle Of Marine.

New York.-A letter received by
New York physician from a reputable
source in France contains the star
Ting information that the French
losses (killed, wounded and prieoners)
for the six weeks fighting up to and
including the battle of the Marine were
slightly over 100000, perhaps 100000.
These losses are exclusive of the
British casualties, which, THE writer
says, have been fairly large in COM
parison to the small number of their
engaged army"
If credence may be placed in the
French statements that in most cases
the German losses were larger than
those sustained by the French, 1t
would seem to be a fair estimate of
the German losses, in killed, wounded
and prisoners, for the same six weeks
at close to 100000 men in the western
theater Of war alone, not taking into
account their losses in the fighting
against the Russians.

CARE IN USE OF MATCHES
Wise Person VIII Take Every Precau-
tlon-Proper Receptacle for Used
Ones Should Be Utilized.

When handling matches, those OF
us who are old enough to know the
danger connected with them are wary.
The receptacle into which we put
them is absolutely fireproof Then, IL
we are wise, instead Of foolish, we
place the burned matches in another
little fireproof receptacle instead OF
an infiammable wastebasket. Yet, al
most invariably, even the wise ones
will place their burnt matches In
tiny glass swung on ribbon loop
from the gas Jet. or some nearby con-
venient place. Surprising that burnt
match should still have smoldering
spark In 1t that would set fire to
the other dead matches, or should leap
up In a little tongue OF flame and lick
the baby ribbon with which the glass
is usually hung The result would be
a little heap OF blazing firewood upon
the floor. and the next thing the fire.
bells would be changing before the
door. To obvlate this possibility, al
ways strings up match glasses with
wire. 1t is hardly likely that the
matchwood within 1t could burn long
enough to melt the wire. There is
danger, however, of II breaking the
glass, so that to exclude danger en-
tirely, receptacles should be metal or
thick china.
Above all, teach the children to
never, under any circumstances. put a
burnt match in the waste basket. Let
them place 1t upon china tray or
some piece of metal near by. Also
warn them against placing such
match, which may have quantity
Of heat remaining in It, near the oellu-
loid combs upon the bureau.

HOME HELPS

The furniture will be improved BY
being wiped off occasionally with a
cloth dipped In linseed oil.
The short grass trimmings from the
lawn make very good feed for fowls.
To save face towels put hanger on
both sides of the towel and you will
find that instead Of one end wearing
and the other remaining unworn, both
ends will wear evenly.
One quart of flour made up into
baking powder biscuits will make
from twelve to fifteen, according to
the size of the cutter.
When using whipped cream II you
add the white of an egg to the cream
and whip with it, 1t requires less
cream and is more delicate in taste
and flavor.
Washing Jap silk blouses, a tea
spoonful Of methylated spirit, added
to two pints of water, gives just the
sufficient stiffness required and saves
starching or ironing, when too wet.

TWO VARIETIES OF PUREE
May Accompany Meat or Form the
Foundation Of Most Sub
stantlal Soup.

A PURGE may be either an accom-
paniment to meat or form the founda-
ton of substantial soup. Whatever
vegetable is turned into a PURGE must
first be we'll boiled, then passed
through sieve-a work demanding
patience; 1t is true. The PURGE will
then have little butter and season
ing added to 1t, cream or the yolks
OF eggs, or some gravy sauce, accord
ing to what meat 1t accompanies.
A PURGE of chestnuts accompanies
veal or poultry and requires the ad.
dition of little thick cream. A PURGE
of white haricot beans accompanies
roast mutton.
A PURGE Of sorrel or spinach, or
both combined, is really incest when
served without meat and placed In In
dividual cocottes or in shells of fried
bread. After passing the spinach, etc,
through the sieve it is beaten up with
a little butter and cream and literally
seasoned. It should not be boiled
more than just enough to cook It ten
der, and then it will keep its color
and flavor.
Cucumbers, marrows, turnips, arti-
chokes and pumpkins all make deli
cious purees, sweet or savory. Anoth-
er delicious PURGE of small white
onions and new potatoes makes a
dainty dish, If sufficient cream is add
ed, and the mixture is put into small
china dishes and drowned on top.
The PURGE destined for serving
alone or as an accompaniment to
meat must be kept thick, yet smooth;
the PURGE that forms the foundation
of a soup is heightened Qpt to make a
sufficient quantity by adding to 1t
meat or vegetable stock, and milk or
cream, or milk or eggs, etc. The eggs
and cream should not be put in until
after the PURGE is cooked and taken
from the fire.
