British Dreadnought For
midable Sunk in Eng
!: lish Channel.
SIX HUNDRED DROWN,
Audacious Believed to Have Met Her
Fate in Similar Way-Both At
tackled by Submarines.

London, JAN, 2-The sinking OF
the battleship Formidable-another
vessel which at the bottom of the
ssa attests to the success OF Ger
many's "whitling down" process
has depressed all of Great Britain.
No naval disaster of the war has
so driven home in England the
thought that Germany is picking off
His Majesty's ships one by one and
that the submarine highly developed
by the Germans, is doing the work.
Survivors brought in from the Eng
hsh Channel furnish accounts which
make it certain that the Formidable
was sunk by submarine. She was
torpedoed fore and aft and sunk in
ten minutes. She was ship OF the
same type as the Bulwark, which
was blown up last month and 1t is
now taken as matter of fact that
both vessels were destroyed by sub
marines and that evasive theories
about internal explosions and sub
marine mines may as well be dis
carded.
Although the admiralty has never
announced officially the loss OF the
Audacious it is generally conceded
here that that vessel, too was sunk
by u submarine and this demonst-
rates that Germany can swh1ts'e
down" the British navy both as to
pre-dreadnoughts and super-dread-
naughts.
The admiralty still withholds de-
tails of the sinking of the Formula

In, the Turkish minister of war;. is
in command of the Turkish troops
that invaded Transcaucasia and are
fighting with the Russians near Sar-
ikamisch.
The Turks made forced march
through deep snow in an effort to de-
liver surprise attack against Sar-
ikamisch before ce-enforcements
could arrive. The battle opened with
both sides fighting in snow to their
armpits. The Turks were plentifully
supplied with ammunition and they
must have exercised superb rhuman en-
ertions to haul it to the front through
the enormous drifts. At the out
set the Russians were compelled Il
fail back, fighting all the way, ans
the Turks were able to occupy SarlN
amisch, but the Russian re-enforce
ments came up and the fight was re
newed.
The Turks, attacked from three
sides. had only a narrow defle IL
the rear of their lines for retiremen
but the fresh Russian troops proves
superior and the Turks were drivel
back into the narrow pass. The Tur
kish soldiers being jammed in tn

MILK USEFUL IN MANY WAYS
AS Cleansing Agent 1t Is Frequent
ly Better Than Anything That
Can Be Employed.

Use milk on patent leather to pol
ish, clean and brighten it. Nothing
else gives 1t such luster and softness.
Use milk to clean piano keys. 1t
removes all dust and CRIME and does
not mar their ivory smoothness.
Use milk to remove ink spots. Wet
the ink spot with the milk and keep
it wet until the spot disappears Then
wash the spotted fabric in cold before
washing it in warm water. Do not
allow the milk to dry-keep adding
more to keep it damp. The dried
milk sometimes makes a yellow stain
that is troublesome to remove.
Use milk to restore the surface of
oilcloth and linoleum. Dip a flannel in
the milk, and rub the oilcloth or limo
leum thoroughly with it. Then rub
again with dry flannel.
Use sour milk for removing freck-
les. 1t is the Tactic acid in milk that
is effective in removing the freckles
Use milk in starch to give it a
gloss. Add a few tablespoonfuls to
a painful of starch.

MAKING LIVER TASTY
PROPERLY COOKED, MEAT is DE-
LIcloUs, AND CHEAP.
How to Prepare II With It's Tradition
al Accompaniment, Bacon-Ex-
ceIient When Baked-Two
Kinds Of Gravy.

Liver is savory and 1t is not heavy
two points most decidedly in its favor
at this season.
liver and for that reason 1t might very
well make its appearance on our tables
more often than it does simply fried
and served with bacon.
Moreover, there are two good kinds
of liver: Calls liver and lambs liver.
And the lambs liver, although much
cheaper than the other kind, is de
licious when properly cooked So,
when the price of calfs liver is pro-
hibitive or when 1t is not to be had
even for price, try lambs liver for a
change.
To begin with, the best way to cook
liver and bacon is to wipe of the
slices of liver with damp cloth and
then to drop them, with two slices OF
lean bacon to every one of liver, into
them brown like crullers. remove
them for a moment to piece OF
brown paper. then put them on a hot
platter diver and bacon together),
sprinkle with salt and pepper and
serve. II gravy is desired, spread
a little melted butter sauce. well sea
soned. with the liver.
Another way of preparing liver is to
brown slices of it in skillet and, as
soon as they are Drowned on both
sides, to remove them to a baking pan.
dredging each slice with -four and
sprinkling with salt and pepper. Cover
the pan and bake for three-quarters of
an hour.
To prepare liver with cream gravy.
slice the liver third of an inch
thick. drop for second into boiling
water and slash the edges of each
slice a few times to keep them from
curling. Tten brown in hot fat In a
skillet. Remove the slices of liver to
a saucepan and cook till yellow a
sliced onion in the fat and then add
1t to the liver with enough cream to
cover Simmer for ten minutes, COW
cred, and then serve. seasoned with
pepper and salt.
Another way to cook liver with
bacon is to soak the slices for 20 min
utes. then to dry them and roll them
In flour, and then to brown them in
the fat in which slices of bacon have
been cooked crisp. Then pour off most
of the fat, add hot water and -four to
the rest and pour over the liver for
gravy.
Baked liver is good. To prepare it
have a pound and half of liver in
one piece. Wipe it with damp cloth
and trim it neatly and then put in
rome strips of salt pork with a larding
needle across the top. Bake in hot
oven for half an hour, basting often.
and serve with a brown gravy made in
the baking pan.
Still another method is to add lit
tie lemon juice to the liver gravy.
This gives it a piquant flavor that is
decidedly tempting The lemon is
added to the fat, after most of it is
poured away. and then -four and but
ter rolled together are added, and then
enough water to make gravy of the
right consistency.

Killarney Salt Cod.

Soak one pound of salt cod in water
to cover four or five hours, peel and
slice about one-fourth inch thick eight
or nine potatoes according to size of
family. Try out four or five strips Of
salt pork, peel and slice a few onions
and fry in pork fat, but do not brown.
Cook potatoes and salt cod separately.
straining the water off the fish twice.
On your onions dredge about two table
spoonfuls of -four, stirring briskly, a
little salt and pepper and the water
directly off the fish, till of the right
consistency; then add one teaspoon
full of table sauce and let cook one
minute. In the meantime place your
potatoes and fish on platter and
pour onions and gravy over ALL This
is very tasty.

even of submarines were expected to
do nothing that could involve the lives
of non-cambatants or the safety of
neutral ships, even at the cost of fail
ing of their object OF capture or de-
struction. 1t confidently expects,
therefore. that the Imperial German
Government will disavow the acts of
which the Government of the United
States complains, that they will make
reparation so far as reparation is pos
sible for injuries which are without
measure, and that they will take Inn
mediate steps to prevent the recur-
renee OF anything so obviously sub
versive of the principles of warfare
for which the Imperial German Gov
eminent have in the past so wisely and
so firmly contended.
Prompt Action BY Germany Wanted.
"The Government and people of the
United States look to the Imperial
German Government for just, prompt
and enlightened action in this vital
matter with the greater confidence be-
cause the United States and Germany
are bound together not only by special
ties of friendship, but also by the ex-
plicit stipulations of the treaty of 1928
between the United States and the
Kingdom of Prussia.
Expressions of regret and offers of
reparation in case of the destruction
of neutral ships sunk by mistake.
while they may satisfy international
obligations, If no loss of life results,
cannot justify or excuse a practice the
natural and necessary effect of which
is to subject neutral nations and neu-
trail persons to new and immeasurable
risks.
"The Imperial German Government
will not expect the Government of the
United States to omit any word or
any act necessary to the performance
of it's sacred duty of maintaining the
rights of the United States and its
citizens and of safeguarding their free
exercise and enjoyment.
