MUST
 MAKE FIGHT ALONE
President Wilson Declares That Dur ina Crisis He Must Remain At
 Helm of Ship of State.

WASHINGTON, Sept S-The hopes of the Democrats who are seeking re. election this fall that President Will son would aid them in their cam paigns, have been shattered, as he has declared that he would not make an campaign speeches, believing that his duty to the country at the pres ent crisis required him to remain at the capital.
 The announcement that they would not have the active support of Presi- dent Wilson in their campaigns is a hard blow to many Democratic can didates who are seeking reelection. Many of them have been absent from their constituencies for nearly two years, during which time tariff and trust legislation vital to the business interests of certain states have been enacted. Democratic congressman in some of the western states face al- most certain defeat through the ef- feet of the tariff and in the Pacific coast states the abolition of the free tolls to coastwise shipping, 1t Is be- lieved, will count heavily against the administration supporters.
 President Wilson has declared that he cannot leave the capital and will have no time for politics as the Euro. pean war demands that he remain constantly in touch with the situa. tion.

TRAIN HELD UP
 IN DETROIT CITY Two Passengers Who Resisted Rob- bers Were Shot-Bandits Escape
 In Waiting Auto.

DETROIT, Sept. S-Two masked men held up and robbed an inbound passenger train on the Grand Trunk line within the Detroit city limits last Saturday night. Two passengers who resisted the bandits were shot and killed. The passengers and train crew were searched by one of the robbers while the other kept them covered with revolvers.
 Although the holdup and murders took place at one of the suburban stations where many people were on the platform, none of the spectators were aware of what was transpiring until the robbers had hastily entered an automobile and escaped. The bandits showed that they were exper fenced men in the hold-up game as they continued to finish their work of searching the passengers for val uables even after the killings. The Grand Trunk has offered a big re- ward for their apprehension.

CLASH OVER THE
 ALASKA COAL BILL Washington Representative Asserts That Cowardice Alone Prevents
 Claimants Getting Patent.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.-The Alas ka coal land leasing bill was passed by the House without a roll call af- ter Representative Hawley, of Ore gon, had withdrawn his amendment. The amendment of the western rep resentative provided for patents be- ing issued to coal land claimants who had proved title to their claims and further provided that other claimants whose cases had not yet been pass ed upon by the interior department should have the right to have their cases tried in the Alaskan courts.
 During the debate on the amend ment Representative Humphreys, of Washington, and Ferris of Oklahoma, clashed and were called to order. The Washington representative de- clared that only cowardice prevented the Department of Interior from passing on the disputed points of the validity of the Alaskan coal land claimants.
 Fearing that his amendment would result in the delay of the bill Repre- sentative Hawley withdrew it and supported the measure.

Ideas That Will Save Time When
One 10 Not in Particular Mood
for Working.

On warm days, when ones enthusi-
asm for cooking or baking is on the
wane, the following suggestions may
be of help: s75s
Buy a plain cake from the bakers.
Cut it through the long way twice,
making three layers. Then mash two
or three ripe tomatoes or other fresh
fruit and spread on layers. For a
frosting use confectioner's sugar,
mixed with little water and flavor
ing. Then sprinkle with cocoanut.
Or make frosting of sweetened con-
densed milk mixed with melted, un-
sweetened chocolate. This makes q
fair imitation of good homemade
cake
For soup purchase a can of tomato
soup. Cook half cup of rice or bar
ley, mash through sieve and add to
soup. This adds a little "home taste"
to the concoction. o..
Then with salad made of crisp
lettuce and cucumbers, olive oil, lemon
Juice, served with q few sailed pea
nuts or other nuts, one will have an
attractive, satisfying supper that has
required little labor. .-,.

The OFFICIAL HOSTESS OF THE WHITE HOUSE

She was the niece of James Bucha-
nan and during his entire four years
at the white house she acted as the
hostess of the nation. And this with
such incompatible grace that she
ranks among the great ladies Of the
mansion, and her regime was eclipsed
in social brilliancy only by two who
have followed, Mrs.. Grover Cleveland
and Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt. Miss
Rose Elizabeth Cleveland was mis-
tress of the white house for fourteen
months before her distinguished
brothers marriage to Miss Frances
Folsom. -.-
Times have changed most radically
since President Buchanan's niece dis
penoed the hospitality of the nation
and what was accepted as good form
then may be questioned by the social
augurs. For instance, some OF the
best-informed authorities on of1cial
etiquette doubt whether Miss Wilson
may stand beside her father when tho
offlcial levees are in progress. That
place in case of the death or absence
OF the presidents wife belongs to the
wife Of the vice-president, and after
her to the wife OF the secretary Of
state. and so on down the line, accord
ing to the accepted order Of prece-
dence. In the home and at the various
banquets or other amenities, Miss
Wilson becomes the presiding lady
