FRENCH ARMY is SURE
ON THE WATER WAGON

Washington, July 17.-Not sim
gle drop of absinthe has been ad-
mitted within the French fighting
lines since the beginning of the
present war, according to state
ments of officials here. who profess
thorough acquaintance with the
French military regulations now in
force. Moreover. they call attention
to the fact that by an Official decree
dated March II last. the French
Government prohibited the making,
sale or transportation of absinthe.
1t is stated at the French embas-
sy here that the French troops in
the trenches are permitted to drink
only water. and even that is d1fflcult
to get at times. owing to the alert
ness of the enemy in watching the
trenches. Soldiers in the rear who
have been exposed to peculiar hard
ship are permitted to have each one
quarter of litre of ordinary wine
daily. There is absolutely no con-
sumption Of alcoholic liquors per-
mitted throughout the army.

THE GIRLS Of HOLLAND
TURNING TO SHOP WORK
While Men Serve In the Army
Servants Are Get.
ting Scarce.

Rotterdam, Netherlands, July H.
For the first time In history, the
Dutch housewife to-day is face to
face with servant problem. With
10 per cent Of the male population
Of the country called to the colors,
the girl who does not wish to be a
servant readily can find well paid
work as clerk or factory hand. or
in an ONCE or even on the farm.
Many are doing so, and 1t is now
rare to see in the Dutch papers the
customary form of advertisement
for place In domestic service.
Following the Dutch custom, do
mestic servants are employed by the
year at yearly fixed wages; and in
case OF dissatisfaction on either
side. rupture of the contract can
only take place quarterly. on the
first of February. May. August or
November. Notice by either party
must be given at least three months
in advance.
The wages, however, are not
high. though the war and the conse-
quent servant famine is tending to
raise them. A cook ordinarily re-
ceives $3.50 year. with all her food
and washing paid, and Il cent as
commission on every dollars worth
of household supplies purchased.
which the cook collects from the
tradesmen.
A good housemaid receives $50 a
year with the added hope of falling
heir to some of her mistress S
clothes. A footman or houseboy re-
ceives about $40 a year. The
housewife must, in addition. pay
workmen's compensation insurance.
The tipping system is the curse of
domestic service in the Netherlands.
In addition to the cooks commits
sion. each servant. at the New Year
and All Saints Day. receives gull
den on every hundred of yearly
wage. or 81 on every $40.

Household Hints.

70 separate egg yolks from the
whites break the eggs into funnel
over a cup. The whites pass through.
the yolks remain.
When scrubbing linoleum or the
kitchen boards. add little paraffin
to the water. 1t takes out dirt and
grease, and gives inoleum beauti-
full gloss without the trouble of pol
ishing.
When milk boils over the range.
to prevent disagreeable smell of
burning. sprinkle with a little salt.
In boiling meats that are not ten
der, tablespoonful of vinegar ad-
ded to the water will render them
much more tender, while at the
same time no taste of vinegar will
be apparent. Fish treated An the
same manner Will be whittier and
frmer.

plan to prevent the drouth from in

into which he puts one end Of a

THINGS DEMANDED
THINGS GRANTED
The Differences Which
Now Exist
Between GERMANY AND U. S.
AS Expressed In Exchange Of
Notes-Germany Is
Rather Defiant.
SUMMARY OF THE SITUATION

What United States Demanded.
That Germany acknowledge lia-
bility for the sinking OF the Lusita-
MIA and disavow the act of her sub
marine commander.
That Germany offer to make rep
aration for injuries which are
without measure"
That Germany take immediate
steps to prevent the recurrence "of
anything so obviously subversiye to
the principles of warfare" =-.--.
Recognition and acknowledgment
by Germany of the rights of Ameri-
cans to travel on merchant vessels
of belligerent nationality.
Assurances that the lives Of
Americans would be safeguarded,
whether on American ships or yes
sells of belligerent nationality.
Observance of the rules of inter-
national law regarding the visit
and search" of suspected merchant
men.
Discontinuance of Germany's sub
marine warfare against American
vessels.
Answer That Germany Made.
That she had no intention OF at
lacking neutral vessels (which have
not been guilty of any hostile act"
That the responsibility for the
sinking of the Lusitania rests on
the British Government and the Gu
nard Company. Consequently, she
does not promise reparation.
That she will not place In jeopar-
dy the lives of American citizens on
neutral vessels.
That she does not recognize the
right of Americans to travel on
ships carrying an enemy flag, and
the presence of Americans shall not
protect vessels of a belligerent ma
tionality.
That safe passage will be given
American passenger steamers when
Germany is notified "a reasonable
time in advance" of their move
ments and the vessels are made rec
ognizable by special markings. Ger
many expects. also. that the United
States will see to it that they have
no contraband on board.
To provide safe accommodations
for Americans who desire to travel
in Europe. the United States should
install in passenger service "a reas-
enable number" of neutral steamers
under the American flag.
If this cannot be done. Germany
will interpose no objection If four
enemy passenger vessels are placed
under the American flag for service
between the United States and Eng
land. and they will not be molested.
provided they observe the same con-
ditions laid down for American pas
senger vessels.
