BRITISH REPLY IS
|NS|STENT OF
HER CLAIMS
Relative To Her Use of Flags Of
Neutral Nations
FOOD BLOCKADE is F0RECASTED
English Note Says That the United
States Used British Flags in
Civil War.
FOOD BLOCKADE is FORECASTED

London, Feb. 19.-The British re-
plies to the American notes on the
use of the American flag by the Gun
ard Line steamer Lusitania and the
decision to hold the cargo of the
American steamer Wilhelmina to a
prize court were delivered to Walter
Hines Page, the American Ambassa-
dor, today.
The notes made clear that while
there is no intention of resorting to
the use of neutral flags generally.
Great Britain thinks that neutral
countries should not Crude her ships
this privilege in view of Germanys
threat TO destroy British sea COM
merce, and, further, that in view Of
the latest German policy of sea war
fare Great Britain contemplates de-
claring all foodstuffs to Germany alb
solute contraband.
Both notes are of a conciliatory
character. That in reference to the
that the United States resorted to the
us of he British flag under similar
circumstances during the civil war
and that if Germany follows the usual
custom of ascertaining definitely the
nationality of ships stopped by her
warships no damage can be done TO
neutral vessels.
The detention OF the Wilhelminas
cargo, which is to be sent to prize
court is justified on the ground that
Germany has placed all grain and
-four in the empire under Govern
ment control
AS yet Great Britain has not def
nitely announced her promised re-
taliatory measures against the Ger.
man submarine blockade. which now
has been in force two days, and
which, so far, has resulted in the tor
pedoing by German submarines of
two vessels--the French steamer Di-
norah off Dieppe, and the Norwegian
tank steamer Belridge near Folke-
stone Both vessels were damaged,
but managed to reach port.

How Yeast Makes Bread Rise.

In the dough from which bread 1 Is
made there is a lot Of sugar, which
contains carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
1t is necessary to fermeut this sugar-to
make bread edible. and yeast is used
because it has the power TO do this. 1t
is made from n plant having this quail
ity. Fermenting sugar is equivalent to
burning 1t. and there are two results.
One is the formation of carbonic acid
gas. A great deal of this gas is caught
in the dough in the form of large or
small bubbles. and some Of ii escapes
into the air. The part that cannot es-
cape causes the dough to rise and
makes the bread light The holes in
bread are the little pockets which held
the carbonic acid gas. The effect OF
the bubbles is to lift the body Of dough
so that the heat can penetrate readily
and bake 1t properly.

Poe and the Literary Messenger.

With his stories and his criticisms
during the meager two years Of his
connection with the magazine Poe was
certainly able to reflect that, as at no

the letter he wrote to Anthem when
projecting the Stylus was somewhat
famboyant. 81 had Joined the Mes

and the wretched taste Of the proprie-

at all points, increased the circulation
in fifteen months to $500 subscribers,

Don't Be Radical.

The sooner young folks learn not to
be radical the sooner they will find
themselves floating serenely down the
stream Of life without friction. To be
radical takes lots of trouble; you have
to be continually ripping off veneers,
scratching surfaces, engaging in origi-
nal research. applying acid tests, lifting
lids, making analyses, tearing off masks,
demanding proof and so on illimitably.
But it is all pernicious activity. The
leaders and makers and sellers Of earth
fix things up so that they will seem to
be so and so; their leadership and their
fame and their profits depend upon our
being perfectly credulous and accepting
things for what they seem. Why, then,
ask embarrassing questions and thus
incur the everlasting Ill will of those
who are trying to hoodwink us? 1t is
much better to take things as they
come paying cash, Of course) and be

works, the language of the peasants.
He always says. speaking of truth.

Color Schemes In Rooms.

When following out a color scheme
In furnishing a room a little touch Of
an entirely different but harmonizing
color produces an excellent effect. This
was brought out by a professional dec
orator who was discussing the furnish
ings of her own home.
One room which was furnished In
green and had a green velours couch
cover was especially noteworthy. 1.-The
room needs something to break the
monotony," she said, land some pill
lows with a bit of old rose coloring

A bedroom where the color scheme
is blue and white is attractive, but re-
Quires another color to give 1t warmth.
A straight color scheme is easy
enough for any one to carry out, but it
calls for considerable skill to make it
distinctive. as in the practical applica-
ton of little variety is usually neces-
sary to make the furnishings really
