VEGETABLE RECIPE BY UNCLE
SAM-CREAMED CARROTS
By Biddy Bye

The carrot is valuable as a vegeta-
BILE and a f1avorer. AS the carrot
grows old, only the outer layers are
desirable for food. Here is a recipe
for creamed carrots from one of
Uncle Sans cook books:
Scrape the carrots, then cut into
decor slices. Put into a stewpan
with sailed boiling water, allowing a
teaspoonful salt for a quart of water,
and boil until tender. Drain, season
with a little salt, put them in a vege-
table dish, and pour the white sauce
over them.
Or the carrots may be cut into dice
before cooking and boiled and
drained, then put back in the stew
pan, and for every pint add tables
spoon butter, 1 teaspoon sugar, half
a teaspoon salt and 1 cup of water.
Cook over a hot fire until the carrots
have absorbed the liquid.

Big Gun siIencer.

Several things give away the posi-
ton of big gun when 1t is fired,
the two chief being the noise and
the smoke. Thanks to smokeiess
powder. however, the latter has
practically been done away with.
The silencing Of big gun is a
more difficult problem, and, though
in the case of rifles and small gums
the report can be made negligible,
the gigantic rush OF gases when a
big shell is fired prevents a COM
plete silencing.
A silencer which the French are
using is so effective that no sound
of firing can be heard over a greater
distance than hunderd yards or so.
The si.encer is attached 10 the
muzzle OF the gun. AS the shell
leave the gun small shutter springs
up and prevents the explosive gases
escaping in the usual way. 1t is the
sudden fierce rush Of the gas which
causes the bang" when a gun is
fired
The gas passes out through the
two channels with nothing like the
rush that IS caused in the ordinary
ANY. 1t is impossible to stop the
gases escaping altogether. for the
pressure is so terrific that the gun
would be blown to pieoes.-York-

u. S. RECEIVES
BERLIN DENIAL
Teutons Formally Disclaim
Responsibility for Disaster
to Liner Sussex.
WILSON MUST PRESS KAISER
OR THROW DOWN HIS HAND

Count Won Bernstorff, the German Am
bassador. yesterday communicated to
Secretary of State Lansing Germany's
official disclaimer of responsibility for
the disaster to the cross Channel liner
Sussex.
Despite the evidence which the United
States has collected tending to show that
a submarine attacked this ship, Germany
now considers the incident closed.
Germany's official note, backed by a
determination not to yield to any further
modification of submarine warfare, has at
once made the issue clean cut and we'll
defined between the two governments.
President Wilson must press his case OF
drop it. Germany holds out no promise
of compromise. Great pressure is already
being exerted upon the President to stand
firm and see the matter through.
His advisors. including Secretary Lam
sing, are in favor Of basing the admins
tration's attitude on the accumuIative
evidence of German submarine attacks
which have jeopardized the lives of
Americans on the high seas. and news
comes from authoritative sources that the
likelihood of tho Presidents taking the
matter up with Congress is not remote.
Count Won Bernstorff is ready TO do his
best to prevent a diplomatic rupture, but
he is not ready to make apologies or fur
ther concessions.
Germany's position, as it is now out
lined TO Secretary Lansing, holds that the
United States government has no justih-
cation whatever for taking Germany to
account for the attack on the Sussex or
the attacks on the Manchester Engineer,
the EngIishman, the Eagle Point, or the
Berwindale.

New York Leader Repudiates Story of
His Alleged Pledge of Support
to Mooser's Nomination.

SPECIAL to The Washington Herald.
New York, April 10.-''Mr. Roosevelt is
an enemy OF the American republic, and
the most pernlclous influence in this
country upon the public mind-not even
excepting Mr.. Bryan"
That IL the answer OF William Barnes
to the story circulated In Boston shortly
after the arrival there OF Col. Roosevelt
on Sunday night, to the effect that Mr..
Barnes believed that the Colonel would
be nominated for the Presidency by the
Republicans, and woul support him IL
his belief turned out to be we'll founded
Mr.. Barnes went farther than that. In
characteristic statement, he left no
doubt Of his belief that Col. Roosevelt
himself had inspired the story that Mr..
Barnes had talked of the Coloners
chances OF being nominated at a recent
gathering of Harvard men. He gave to
reporters the names of men who were
at the dinner, so that his denial of the
Boston story could be confirmed. This
is the statement of Mr.. Barnes:
This year the periodical candidacy of
Mr.. Roosevelt for President is based
upon 'Americanslm,' and such sporadic
support as he is receiving comes from his
declaration in behalf Of proper national
defense.
Mr.. Roosevelt is not responsible for
any natural phenomenon, nor has he a
patent on the obvious That this country
should be properly defended-as it is not
defended now-is not open to debate.
Mr.. Roosevelt is an enemy of the
American republic, and the most per-
nicious influence in this country upon
the public mind-not even excepting Mr..
Bryan"
