HAS WON DESERVED FAVOR
American Cooks More and More Com
ing to Recognize the Advantages
OF the Casserole.

Why Is this cooking en- casserole, or
In earthenware, 30 popular in France?
Because In no other way is it possible
TO obtain such delicious fiavors.
There are three things to remember
In casserole cooking: First, the food
must be entirely prepared before the
baking Is begun; second, the oven
should be only moderately hot at first,
then reduced to slow heat; third, the
food should not be allowed to boil and
must be given time enough for long
cooking.
A meat casserole of any kind needs
at least an hour and a half to cook,
while many meats, fruit and desserts
require from three hours upward. In
the old French ovens covered crooks
containing beans, or apples, or fruits.
for the cooked compete 30 beloved by
them, were put in the oven at night
to cook slowly until the next morning
This was a part Of the frugality, the
putting to account every bit of meat
which Is still the habit of all French
housewives.
For the best results, or I may say
the most striking results, get cheap
cut of meat, which is not liable to be
tender, and see what a transformation
will be worked by the casserole cook
ing. Cut the meat in pieces suitable
for serving, and add some thickening
agent which will absorb the excess
moisture, leaving the food just moist
enough to be served attractively.
Rice is good with game, chicken,
lamb and veal; dried bread crumbs
with pork; macaroni and pearl barley
with beef Sometimes with young
chicken or tender fish potatoes may
be used, but never when long cook
ing is required, for they cook to a
mush.-Pittsburgh Dispatch.

PREPARE INDUSTRY FOR WAR.
National Council of Six With Seven
Advisors Proposed.

Washington-Another preparedness
measure was added to the Admins
trations program in the form of a
bill introduced in the House by Mr..
Hay, chairman of the Military Com.
mittee, providing for the establish
ment of a national council of eXecu-
tive information.
The formulation Of this plan for
bringing under the supervision of one
body the national industries and re.
sources of the country which may be
drawn upon in time of war was under.
taken, according to Mr.. Hay, at the
express wish Of the President.
Majority Leader Kitchin announced
that it was the intention of the Demo
Gratis to pass the naval bill under
special rule limiting debate.
The new preparedness measure pro.
viding for the council of executive in.
formation is designed in some re-
spects to comply with the demand
for a national council Of defense, but
covers only the civilian aspect of the
problem Of marshalling the resources
OF the country in preparation for war.
The council is to consist of six mem
bers Of the Cabinet, who are to ap-
point an advisory commission of sew
en- persons, experts in the lines of in
dustry most directly involved in the
task of defensive preparation.
Members of the proposed council
and their advisers are to be named
without confirmation by the Senate.
The body is to be largely an adjunct
Of the Executive office, although il is
provided that reports to Congress
shall be made of Investigations con-
Quoted. Indicating the plans for an
immediate formation Of the council
is the provision that 100000 for ex.
penses shall be Immediately avail
able"

In an effort to make their capture Of
Fort Douaumont complete the Ger

positions time and again only to be
hurled back.
Along the Russian front h,rd fighting
is reported north Of Lake Miadziol,
where the Russians put down Ger

In the Caucasus region, where the

HEAVY FIGHTING
FOR vERDUN
Berlin Claims Recapture of
Haudromont Quarry and
D0uaumont Lines
FRENCH NOW ON DEFENSIVE

London.-The fighting at Verdun
continues with implacable fury. There
is not even time to bury the dead
or succor the wounded.
The tide of the battle Is again with
the Germans Berlin announces a
further closing in by the Crown
Princes troops east Of the Meuse.
The Germans from their recaptur-
ed positions in the ruins OF Fort
Douaumont have swept forward south
and southwest and taken more French
trenches, and have retaken the quarry
in the Haudremont woods least OF
the fort) which the French carried
by assault in their dash on Douau-
mont.
On their side, the French have not
been reduced TO the defensive. They
delivered three counter-attacks on
Cumeres, in an endeavor to recapture
that village.
French military authorities declare
that the last months fighting has only
given the Germans an average gain
of a 800 metre depth on the west Of
the Meuse and that on the east Of the
river the line, except at Douaumont,
is the same as it was on April %.
The shadow OF Verdun is over Paris
as at the end OF February. Through
out the city there is no other topic.
That does not mean that confidence
is weaker, but the events Of the last
few days have shaken the people from
the comfortable feeling that the Yer
dun situation had reached a compare
lively harmless deadlock, and that
the German drive had failed. The
immensity Of the new German effort
compels recognition of the fact that
the danger is not yet over.

GERMANY INVITES
U. S. PEACE AGENT
Hopes Colonel House Will BE
Harbinger of Peace
ATTITUDE NOW Is CHANGED
Germany Has No Fixed Program AS to
Peace Terms-Conditions a vari-
able Quantity, Dependent On
Further Duration Of War

Berlin.-Another visit by Colonei Z.
M. House TO Europe would come as no
surprise to initiated quarters here.
American rumors to this effect are re-
garded as having a certain basis In
fact, although the opinion prevails that
the trip will naturally be postponed
until after the national conventions.
1t is hoped here that should Colo
mel House pay such a visit he viii
come this time as a harblnger OF
peace, or at any rate to prepare
possible, the foundations for peace
proposal. difficult as this task is rec
ognized to be.
During his last previous visit to
Europe Colonel House made no ef-
fort and conducted no investigations
in the direction of peace-in Berlin
at any event-having perhaps found
absolutely adverse conditions In
capitals of nations hostile TO Germany.
Presumably, also he had previous
information that American mediation
was under no circumstances desired.
The situation, it may be said, has
now changed. Apparently there is no
harm, from either a political or a
strategical standpoint, in saying that
Germany would welcome peace.
Germany's peace conditions are ex'
tremely moderate, in view of the mill
tary positions of Germany and the
Entente Allies, according to opinions
here.
Germany is now open to reason re-
garding the lot of Belgium and the
occupied regions of France, and ar
rangements for the restoration of the
Belgian kingdom and the return to
France of the provinces captured in
this war are easily within the bounds
of possibility.

Only Radical Change In British
and French Policy Will
Satisfy United States
OUR WRONGS INTOLERABLE
Communication Delivered to British
and French Enthusiastically Re-
versaI of Policy viii Satisfy
Property Rights Violated.

Washington.-Secr OF State
Lansing made public the text of the
American protest to Great Britain and
France regarding the mail seizures.
1t Is a vigorous document in tone,
and notes that "the governments OF
the United States, Great Britain and
France, however, appear to be in sub
stantial agreement as TO principle. The
method of applying the principle is
the chief cause of difference" The
note made no threats but in very
pointed words declared that only a
a reversal OF the policy OF England
and France can satisfy the United
States. The note was delivered to
the British and French Ambassadors
as the representatives OF their coun-
tries here.
The United States characterizes the
wrongs done to American citizens
through these practices as intolerable,
states that it expects these practices
TO cease and adds that only a radical
change restoring to the United States
it's full rights as a neutral power will
satisfy this Government.
1t is known that the United States
has the support OF Holland, Sweden
and other neutral countries in its pro-
test to the Entente These other neu.
trail powers already have protested
against wrongs which their citizens
have suffered.

London.-The underwriters charg-
ed so per cent. to insure against a
declaration of peace between Great
Britain and Germany before January

This rate indicates that, in the un.

an early peace are better than two

Attacks Allies Methods.

The United States admits that the
Entente may search mail on De.liger-
ent vessels to ascertain whether con
traband is being transmitted under
sealed cover, and this Government al
so admits that the Entente may inter
cept at sea all mails coming out OF
and going into ports OF the enemy's
coasts which are effectively D.ockaded.
But the methods employed by the
British and French authorities are Sc
verely criticised. The note states that
these authorities remove all mails,
genuine correspondence" as well as
post parcels and take them to Lon
don, where they are delayed for days,
weeks or even months, N some cases
with irreparable loss.
The British and French practice
amounts TO an unwarranted limitation
OF the use by neutrals OF the worlds
highways for the transmission OF cor
respondence, the note says.
The United States contends that
this is violation of the prior prac-
tice of nations which Great Britain
and her Allies in the past have assist
ed to establish and maintain. A de-
tailed summary OF grievous injuries
in a commercial sense suffered by
American citizens through unwarrant-
ed interference with the mails is set
forth in the protest.
United States patents for inventions.
rare documents, legal papers. powers
of attorney, fire insurance claims, in
come tax returns and similar matters
have been lost. Delays in receiving
shipping documents and papers relat-
ing to contracts have resulted in
losses of business opportunities. For
all of this loss, the United States
holds, France and Great Britain must
pay.
Although no specific time limit Is
set and no alternative to compliance
with the demand that these practices
cease is outlined, Secretary Lansing
makes 1t plain that the patience OF
the United States is nearing exhaus-
ton.
Though the United States protests
chiefly the action of those govern
merits, this must apply almost entire
ly to Great Britain, in employing
duress or in other ways inducing ships
TO enter British harbors and then as
serting jurisdiction over the mails
they carry. on the ground that they
were sent by way of British terri
tory.

NO GERMAN RUSE WILL WIN
PEACE, DECLARES THE TEMPS

Paris.-The Temps in an editorial
which reflects the prevailing senti-
ment in high quarters treats the peace
idea of DR.. Won Bethmann-Hollweg,
the German Imperial Chancellor, as
a "ruse calculated to deceive neu-
trails and to relieve Germany OF its
embarrassments."
Let the Chancellor pursue his
game" the Temps says. "The Allies
fully understand his manoeuvre. They
oppose 1t by an unshakable determine
ton, expressed not only by the chief
officers OF the Entente Allies govern
ments, but upon the battle field and
in the war factories. Germany will
not get by ruse that peace which she
is unable to get by force"
GERMANS RETAKE DoUAUMoNT.
Paris.-Under a rain of shot and
shell, which inflicted enormous losses,
the Germans have again taken Fort
Douaumont, northeast of Verdun. from
the French. AS though TO somewhat
even the score, however, the French
in spirited counter-attacks to the
northwest of Verdun recaptured from
the Germans trenches on the southern
outskirts of the village of Cumieres,
which the Germans had occupied In
the late fighting, and also stopped
with their artillery several attempts
of the Germans to debouch from the
village.
The fighting around Fort Douaumont
was furious, the Germans launching
attack after attack against the fort
employing among others two fresh
divisions of Bavarians. Several times
the attacks were put down with heavy
losses, but finally the Germans sue
ceeded in reoccupying the point OF
vantage which they had held virtually
since the commencement Of the Yer.
dun offensive until the French drove
them out several days ago. The
French retained the immediate ap-
proach to the fort.
On the Austro-Italian front the Aus
trians, from the Lake Garda region TO
the Val Sugana district, are keesing
up their violent offensive against the
Italians.
