Berlin, via Amsterdam, June 2o-AIl
Germany awaits with eager expectation
the future developments of the American
Mexican crisis.
1t would be folly TO conceal that nothing
would be hailed with greater joy through
out the German empire than the word
that war has broken out between America
and Mexico
1t is taken for granted here that the
minute the United States engaged in a
war with Mexico, the shipments Of arms
and ammunition as we'll as of supplies
to the allies. would be forthwith reduced
to a considerable extent. II not stopped
altogether.
In Germany It has been claimed for
months, unoficially as well as oricially.
that If the allies were suddenly TO be
cut on from the American shipments OF
arms and ammunition, GERMANY would
win the war in less than a quarter Of
a year. War with Mexico, IL Is argued
would compel the United States TO keen
its own arms and munitions, and prob
ably would greatly reduce its whole ex-
port trade. the sole benefcients OF which
have been, throughout the war, the al
lies.
What Will Japan Dor

concerning the trouble between tbe
United States and Mexico, the oues,,o,
10 which the greatest significance is at
tached: What will Japan do?"
For many months the belief has pre-
vailed here, and has been voiced from,
time TO time in responsible organs. tha,
Japan has a guiding hand in the present
defiant Mexican attitude.
When Washington dispatches rece1tIv
brought excerpts from the -challenRins
note sent by Gen. Carranza to the
American State Depsrtr,ent. It was this
fine Japanese hand" that wa. seen bv
press and public here in the astonishing
policy Of the Mexican de facto govern
ment. for it was argued. and is argueo
now. that Mexico would never have
dared assuming this attitude were it not
relying upon outside aid
Such aid. 1t is further pointed out,
could come only from one sideJapan
That country. according to the German
viewpoint, could select no more appro-
pirate moment than the present for the
realization of its long fostered dream to
attempt to gain the supremacy Of the

Jelly from apples, ounces, pouches, or

II you know how. according to Miss
Addie D. Root Of the Missouri College

Is to add enough tartaric or citrtc acid
to the Juice to make 1t taste about as
sour as good sour apple. This usu-
ally means about level teaspoonful
to q quart of Juice. 1t destroys the
delicate flavor Of peach and pear Juice
somewhat but improves the flavor OF
sweet apple and ounce Juice.
Blackberries, bIueberries, raspber-

make good jelly because they have
enough acid already and also contain
a substance called pectin which must
be present and must be brought out
with the juice by heating II jelly Is
to be made. That is why jelly-makers
do not simply press out the Juice from
cold fruit. All apples and similar
fruits have enough pectin for Jelly
making purposes.
In making apple jelly cover the
fruit with water before cooking and
boil 20 or 30 minutes. After boil
ing has continued 10 or Is minutes.

that will be required should have been

AS soon as the glasses are filled
with the hot jelly they should be set In
