 DENIES CHARGE D
 NEUTRALITY BREAK


 Paris. March 25-The French minis try of war issued last night a state ment to refute the assertions made il American newspapers by the German military author, General Friedrich Won Barnhardi. to the effect that the French plan of concentration showed that the French and British govern ments had made careful preparations to violate the neutrality Of Belgium The war ministry's statement explains in detail that when war was declared the French army was concentrated along the German frontier and that the Teutonic invasion of Belgium com pelled the general stan to change completely the disposition when mad been arranged.
 The question of the British army taking the field was not considered the war ministry asserts, until after the violation of Belgium on August 5. Its concentration was effected behind MaHbeuge from August IA to D. Nari- ous orders are quoted to show that the French army was kept six miles from the frontier and ordered to leave to the Germans the responsibility for opening hostilities. An order issued by the minister Of war on August Is quoted as reading:
 Germany will attempt by false news to induce us to violate Belgium neu- tra1jty. It is strictly forbidden until further orders for patrols or even sim gle scouts to cross the line or for avi~ ators to fly over Belgian territory.
 Not until August 5. the statement as- serts, at the formal request of the Bel gian government made the preceding day, did the French troops enter Bel- gium.

ERASED LAMB WITH BARLEY
Simple but Appetizing Dish win Be Appreciated When Family
 Gathers for Dinner.

Two pounds of lamb from shoulder. two cupfuls of pearl barley, one small Spanish onion, one cupful of tomatoes tcanned), salt and pepper to taste. Have the butcher cut the meat into suitable pieces to serve, removing any unsightly edges or fat. Place a piece of suet in deep skillet and as soon as hot put in the meat and let it scar quickly on all sides. As soon as all meat juice has been absorbed pour on enough water to cover, then simmer slowly for half an hour Now stir the barley into the liquid, cut the onion into slices and lay on top of meat. then pour the tomato over. Cover and let simmer for about two hours. See from time to time that barley does not settle or liquid boil off Toward last, season to taste. Try not to mash the meat and barley When meat is tender the barley will be soft and puff fy. Serve on platter with meat in center. surrounded by barley, and pour the tomatoes and onions over with just enough of the liquor to moisten, or if gravy is liked the liquor may be thickened with little dissolved flour. If need be little more hot water may be added during the cooking.

WITH FLAVOR OF BANANA
omeIet That Is Somewhat Different From the Kind Ordinarily
 Served.

To make a three-egg banana omelet. separate the yolks and whites of three eggs and beat each separately. It is easier to manage if one of the whites is left out. Beat the whites to stiff froth and season with pinch of salt and a pinch of sugar.
 In the meantime have in the frying pan over a gas burner, turned down almost to its lowest place, two table spoonfuls of sugar spread over the bottom, except around the outer inch, and on top of this one banana cut in very thin slices.
 As the sugar commences to boil and the banana to brown, lift from fire and turn each slice of banana. After this has cooked a little on the turned side. pour in the beaten yolks, and prick them while they set, as in the case of any omelet Then spread the whites over them, and let cook about three minutes longer before folding and serving
 Just before the yolk Is put to cook some butter may be added, about a teaspoonful, but, if carefully handled, this will not be needed. The difficulty is in keeping the sugar from burning. If just caramelized, it is delicious.

Care of Brass.

All brass beds, brass handles and hardware used on furniture are lac quered to keep them from oxidizing. The less this lacquer is rubbed, the longer it will last If good brass bed is wiped off frequently with perfect ly clean, soft piece of cheescloth no other polishing will be necessary. When the lacquer does wear off and the brass becomes dull, the proper thing to do is to send it to good fac tory to be rebuffed and relacquered. Once in a while a brass bed may be wiped with a soft sponge wet with slightly soapy water, wiped again with a clean water and then dried immedi- ately with soft cheesecloth or very fine piece of chamois skin.
 If you drop acid on your clothes the immediate application of ammonia will prevent damage.

Homemade Washer.

To wash heavy things such as quilts and comforters often means much back-breaking lifting. One housekeeper ingeniously devised a method of Tightening her difficulties. When she had put her heavy pieces into the tub and soaked them well, she took an ordinary lard pail and made use of it for suction washer, pushing it, upside down, on the things, thus drawing the soapy water through them. When they were clean she lift ed them. without wringing them, hung them on the line and poured fresh wa ter over them to rinse them. This made them as clean, she found, as if she had tired herself out with rubbing them.

Roast Rabbit.

Empty. skin and thoroughly wash the rabbit; wipe it dry line tho inside with sausage meat and forcemeat (the latter of bread crumbs, we'll seasoned and worked up). Sew the stuffing in side, skewer back the head between the shoulders, cut off the fore joints of the shoulders and legs, bring them close to the body and secure them by means of skewer. Wrap the rabbit in buttered paper. keep it well pasted, and a few minutes before it is done re- move the paper, flour and froth it and let it acquire a nice brown color. It should be done in three-quarters of an hour. Take out the skewers and serve with brown gravy and red currant jelly. To bake the rabbit proceed in the same manner as above; in a good oven it will take about the same time as roasting. Most cooks garnish the rabbit with slices of lemon and serve up with currant jelly. Sometimes the head is cut off before sending to the table, but this is matter of individual taste.

The Cranberry Tart.

We are all more or less familiar
 with cranberry tarts. Sometimes the tart shells are filled with plain sauce, while pie crust is latticed across the top. A cupful of seeded and chopped raisins may be added by way of vari- ation. Whole berries cooked in sirup may be used as a meringue top. If the uncooked berries are used they should be mashed and well sweetened before being placed in the crust. It requires from forty-fve minutes to an hour to thoroughly make the tarts in this case.
