COOKING IN A HOLE.
A Forest Rangers Method Of Prspar.
ing Baked Chicken.

A Forest Rangers Method Of Prspar.
ing Baked Chicken.
One summer day, while laboriously
picking a sage hen, a friendly forest
ranger approached, smiling, and offered
to show me an easier way.
He Lifted a bird as yet untouched by
my hands and deity cleaned but did
not pick it. Then he sifted some dirt
from the ground into big mixing pan
half filed with water With these in
gradients he mixed paste Of soft mud.
Now he cut slab Of bacon, which he
placed inside the hen, with a good
sprinkling Of pepper and salt, at last
stufing feathers into the opening to
keep the meat clean. This done. he
covered the chicken with the mud
paste.
Now he dug hole deep enough to
put the bird in. In the hole he built a
fire and waited until there was a thick
coating of Goals on the sides and bot
tom. Next he carefully placed the mud
coated chicken on top. All this he
covered with shovels Of dirt until the
hole was alright Now he turned to
me and said, st will be cooked in one
hour from now"
With that he went his way.
At the end of the hour he came again
and, throwing back the soil. drew forth
the chicken, quickly skinned it and
laid before us a delicately Drowned
chicken with a wholesome odor about
it.-Outing.

A Cargo Hard to Handle.

Asphalt Is said to be the most diff.

asphalt is taken out Of the asphalt
lakes in Trinidad in a semifuid state
and by the time the vessel reaches a
northern port has hardened, so that to
unload it it is necessary for the men to
go into the hold and dig it out with
pick and shovel This takes time, and
vessel carrying such cargo always
has to arrange for considerable stay

A Shabby Coat Collar.

Very often the collar of coat begins
to look shabby when the coat is in
good order, and it is wonderful what a
difference a thorough cleaning will
make. First take piece Of clean cloth
and dip it in spirits of turpentine and
rub the collar thoroughly with it. Leave
with the turpentine and scrape 1t care
fully to remove any loose dirt. Next
sponge the collar with little alcohol
and keep wiping it until it IS dry. Hang
1t up in an airy place for an hour or

arty Of Germany

Berlin, Nov. 13.-(Via London).-
The executive committee Of the Ma
tional Radical party today concluded
two-days session devoted to a discus
sion Of the party policy in the present
md outlining tactics fer it's represen-
ta+ives in the Reichstag in the future
The committee adopted a resolution
approving the action of it's Relchstag
representatives who supported the I'm
parial chancellor almost solid}y during
the recent crisis and condemning in
trtgues against the chancellor.
A feature OF the meeting was long
report by Frederick Won Payer, the
South Germany Radical leader in the
Reichstag on the parliamentary activi-
ties of the party in the last year. Herr
Won Payer discussed the submarine
crisis without mincing words He ar
raigned the Conservatives and Pam
Germans for their attempt to get rid
of an announcement" chancellor by
means Of an ostensibly patriotic cam
paign.
The agitation against the chancel-
Tor and in favor of unrestricted war
fare he said had passed the food and

the submarine policy in the hands OF
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1916-11-14

Concerning the discussions on Bel
GUM in the Reichstag committee last
week, Herr Won Payer said:
Nobody now desires to annex 1t:
nobody even desires to seem to have
ever wished to annex it. 1t will there
fore probably remain sovereign
state. On the other hand, nobody de-
sires conditions to remain an before the
war. The danger that Belgium will be-
come a stamping ground for British
domination must be counteracted.
THE Socialists are inclined to the
view that materially no propositions
should be made which Belgium would
be unable to accept with honor and
that the regulation OF Belgium's rela-
tons must occur through agreement
not one side dictation. The conserva-
tives and Pan-Germans, on the CONTRA
ry wish to make use Of the land for
Germany's naval position. Many prac-
teal possibilities and solutions lie be-
tween these antipodes.
THE peace debate showed that ev-
erybody desires peace. desires an open
statement that no effort at a reap
proachment will be repulsed and that
grand effort should lie made toward
the orga MIA ton Of institutions on an
international basis to prevent or rem
der difficult future wars"

Cardinal MERCER
Protests Deportation
Of Belgians to Forced
Labor in Germany

mands on official charity. ...-. -.
I'm his answer Won Blessing aband-
oned his previous argument and al.
legged that first the mere fact of wide-
spread unemployment tends to bur-
den finances. and, second. prolongation
of unemployment will result in the
workers losing their skill. 2
ITO this replied: There are other
ways of protecting Belgian finances.
for example spare us the war levies:
also spare us acquisitions which are
completely exhausting US. There are
other ways of maintaining the profess
sional skill of workmen. Belgian indus
Try could have been allowed to keep
its machines, accessories, raw mate
rial and manufactured products which
have been transferred to Germany.
1.-THE whole truth is that each de-
ported workman means another SOL
der for the German army. He VIII
take the place of German workman
who will be made soldier.
THE situation which we denounce
to the civilized world may be summed
up as follows: ~
-Four hundred thousand workmen
are reduced to unemployment through
no fault of their own and largely IN
convenience the German occupation.
Sons husbands, fathers. respectful OF
public order, bow to their unhappy
lot With their most pressing needs
provided for they await with dignity
the end Of their period OF trial.
Now. suddenly. parties OF soldiers
begin to enter by force these peaceful
homes, tearing youth from parent, hus-
hand from wife. father from children.
They bar with the bayonet the door
through which wives and mothers wish
to pass to say farewell to those de-
parting. They herd their captives in
groups of tens and twenties and push
them into cars. AS soon as the train Is
filled the officer in charge brusqucly
gives the signal for departure. Thus
thousands of Belgians are being re-
duced to slavery.
"The Germans are not only enrolling
the unemployed. but they are also re-
cruiting great number Of men who
have never been out Of work"
