KAISER'S WISH TO KEEP
MEN SAVED LIEGE FORTS
So Says German General. Asserting
Belgian Attacking Force Was An
initiated BY Invaders.

Rome, Aug 12-Gen. Won Stein. an Of
ficer Of the German general stan. claims
that the Belgian forces that attacked the
German troops besieging Liege were an
initiated, according to a dispatch re-
ceived here today from Berlin. The dis
patch says that Gen. Won Stein issued an
official statement denying that the Ger
mans lost 1000 men at Liege. but failed
to give the losses. The dispatch quotes
Gen. Won Stein as follows:
only a small number Of German
troops were engaged in order to mask
the movements Of the main army. The
enemy's advance attacking force was
completely annihilated.
The forts remain intact, as the En-
peror did not wish to sacrifice life I'M
necessarily, but as soon as the heavy
artillery arrives the forts will be taken
without the loss of a man."
The dispatch says Gen Won Stein ad-
mitted that the capture Of the forts was
a difficult problem because Of the posi-
ton in which they lie. and he accused
the residents of Liege, both men and
women. Of shooting at the German SOL
diers from behind, in some instances fir
ing on Red Cross surgeons and nurses,
and even on the wounded.

BAKING POWDER Fight
RESTS ON The Hen
Great American Bird Is on Trial as
to Her Usefulness as an AS
sistant at the Oven.
CREAM OF TARTAR AGAINST HER

The great American hen is again on
trial. This time 1t is up TO the Congress
OF the United States to vindicate OF
condemn her. And as the central figura
in a Congressional baking powder fight,
the @. A. H is promised plenty Of ad-
vertising.
Congress did not seek the honor of sit
ting in judgment on the Great American
Hen. CONGRESS realizes that beside this
question, the suffrage question is harm
less, by comparison. The fight was thrust
upon3a sedate. II much frazzled Con-
gress. by warning groups Of baking
powder manufacturers. the food experts
OF the Department Of Agriculture having
given their decision and then joyously
passed the luck" to Congress.
The entire matter hinges on the ques-
ton, Does egg albI men in baking pow
der constitute an adulteration?" Those
manufacturers who use IL answer in a
loud and panied negative. Those who
use cream of tartar insist that the
Great American Hen is guilty Of adulter-
ating baking powder. The food experts
of the Department OF Agriculture, being
wise beyond their years, and naturally in
sympathy with the @. A. H, declare in
favor of the albumen. Congress must
decide. 1t has two bills before II. One
makes Il unlawful TO use egg albumen
in baking powder. The second makes
II unlawful not to use egg albmen. Both
sides are beating their tom-toms and
worrying their Congressman into a blue
funk.
Egg albumen, according to manufac'
turers who use II, offers the housewife
an opportunity, before using baking pow
der, to test the material and ascertain
whether II has lost its Yitality-its gas
This test. which prevents many wasteC
