 Whether pr. Meyer Gerhard, who was sent to Germany by, Count Won Bernstorff, ambassador to the United States, will visit headquarters and present bis facts to Emperor William in person has not been decided. In any case the German reply probably will not be ready for delivery in less than 10 days or two weeks.
 It may be. stated regarding Dr. Meyer report that the in formation brought by him contain ed little that was absolutely new to the foreign office and its chief value lay in presenting a report of the strength of the various currents of public opinion in the United States and at I4l0OS OA E1SSAOeAC W1lSOn ana n1S l advisers in a more positive convinc- ing form than wou16 have been pos s1ble in a, written communication. He Is understood to have made it clear there is no doubt the American peo- pie are standing sond1y behind the president in his >insistence upon guar antee against a repetition of such an incident as the sinking of the Lusi- tania and equally little doubt that no important section of the American people favor war'if it can be avoided honorabIy.

 Jones believed that Harrison had re- ceived the paper from Moss, as Moss, he said, had been getting things through the mail right along. Con- tinuing his testinony, Jones said he had seen envelopes received by Moss with dope in them. He had no idea who could have sent the papers to Moss and that Moss did not seem to know their source himself.
 Jones did not think that either of the defendants mentioned had the slightest idea that the papers were really advance copies of he examina- ton.

Apple Fritters.
Make a fritter batter by mixing a
teaspoonful of salt, a cupful and q
half flour ami two teaspoonfuls of
baking powder. Pare the apples, cut
them in eighths or quarters, roll them
in sugar, spiced with nutmeg and dip
in the batter. Drop in deep, very hot

Apple Frosting.
1t should be spread thickly on the
cake just before it les to be eaten, and
makes a good luncheon dessert. Beat
the white of an egg until stiff, add
eupful of powdered sugar and a
grated apple. with a little lemon fiav-
oring extract. Beat until stiff and
thick and spread.
Baked Apples and Nuts.
For a half dozen large apples. a good
three -fourths cup of nut meats-but-
ternuts or hickorynuts-will be re-
quired. Chop the meats fine and add
half cup of sugar. Core the apples
and fill the centers with the nuts and

Christmas table decoration than maid

Apples can no longer be bought for

we feel hungry for an apple and ex-
