which brought under the American flag

Japanese Fare for Summer

There is a vogue nowadays to take
the cue from the Japanese in culinary
matters as well as in questions of ar
tistic interior decorations The Jap
anese dinner is very good hot-weather
meal. Substantial as it often is, it
lacks the thick sauces and spices that
characterize occidental cooking.
Perhaps we would have to eliminate
the tea that is served, during and after
every Japanese meal. For one thing
we don't know how to brew tea as the
Japanese do; and for another our over
wrought nerves might not be able to
stand half dozen bowls of this stimu-
lating brew. But the use of much
chicken and fish, in place of the heav-
Ter meats, the well cooked vegetables.
the absence of heavy sweets are all
good points, especially for summer fare.
To be sure Japanese cooking is
sometimes as elaborate. and when they
serve US birds nests and larks tongues
it is anything but economical. But
those delicacies. are as rare to the ma
is with u.s. We must take our lessons
from the everyday fare of the well-to-
do. A suggestive dinner would consist
of a well cooked vegetable soup, an en-
tree of fried noodles. a main course of
chicken with mushrooms. and almonds.

cooked rice and bamboo sprouts-per-

The noodles are steamed. drained and

One of the delights of Japanese cook

dciently hot to avoid soaked condi-
tien of the food cooked in 1t. and the
fried articles are properly drained be-

1t was a long time before the English

many submarines have been caught

feet of merchant submarines in
time of peace would be of very little
value except that they might be ac-
quired by the government and kept in
reserve. They could. by the introduc-
ton OF tubes, easily be converted into
war vessels, or. IL they were sufficient
ly numerous. might be employed as
transports of troops to raid the shores
and destroy the towns of some espe-

submarine fitted up as transport, and
thus being able to convey hundred
or more men even though forced to
submerge a part of the time. A hun
dred such craft would transport at
least 10000 men. Had such a body been
landed at Lowestoft or Hartlepool un-
der the guns of the battle cruiser
squadron, they. could have devastated

back to the refuge of their submersible
transports.
But theirs is not the small way of
doing things. Some day this infant
ght-carrying submarine may grow
into a much greater ship. so that each
will carry a thousand men. Then
feet of hundred would carry 100000
men.
1t is really doubtful that the new line
becomes a popular way to cross the
ocean, in spite of a statement that
each Of two would-be passengers has
offered more for the privilege Of going
back in this slow freighter than the
ask for the finest suite of rooms on the
Vaderland, II 1t were running.
The sleeping accommodations are lin
tied and the promenade deck is any
thing but comfortable in a smooth sea !;
when a ship is sighted and the sub
mersible dives. the passengers must
go below deck, and the sensation is
unpleasant. 1t is bad enough to be
tossed about on the sea-. but to be
rolled about under its surface gives an
unpleasant sensation.
The thought will obtrude itself that
something might happen to throw the
ship out of its horizontal course, when,
If she went up a shell would crash
into her, ending her career. and If by
some accident she went down little
too far she would never come back, FOR
the pressure at too great depth
would crush in her sides.
Some of the London papers report that
plans were prepared before the out
break of the war for the construction
of submarines up to 5000 or 1000 tons.
If sufficiently numerous fleet of such
submarines could be put in operation
they would perhaps afford considerable
relief to the Teuton allies by supplying
them with certain things. such as rub
ber which they need; but when one
compares such fleet of tiny slow
goers with the stately, swift merchant
fleet. a small part of which is tied up
at the Hoboken wharves, he sees how
INADEQUATE they would be to carry the
enormous normal output of the great
manufacturing and trading nation now
cut off from free contact with her
former markets.
without drawing upon the imperial
navy, it would probably be difficult to
man such a. fleet with sufficiently well
trained crews. especially engineers and
electricians. Diesel engines are very
complicated. and only men Wha are ia
miliar with them in every respect can
be trusted to handle them.
The operation of the diving machin-
cry, of the intake valves and similar
important parts of these boats is not to
be trusted to any but experienced men,
used to diving and the niceties of bal
ancing the boat. 1t is said that the

said to have established an underwater

Would the sea carriers of this country
or other neutral countries be within
the law If they should establish a sub
marine line to German or Austrian
ports? The principle of international
law is well established that a neutral
may send what it pleases to belliger-
ent, provided it does not allow a hostile
expedition to leave it's territory, but
that If it attempts to send contra band
articles, they are liable to capture and
