VIENNA KITCHENS BEING
Barred OF ALL UTENSILS

BY far the most comprehensive
campaign for metal that Vienna has
known since the beginning Of the
war, has been ordered. Not only
must individuals turn over to the
government practically all the metal
they possess, but manufacturers,
dealers, innkeepers, restaurants, bak-
cries, sugar refineries, associations of
all kinds, cloisters, hospitals, sana-
toria and convalescent homes, bath
ing resorts, schools, educational in
situations and countless similar Or
CARNATIONS are going to have to sur
render a large variety of materials.
The list of things that have to be
turned in, against payment, as de-
termined by the government, some
time ago, includes:
Cooking utensils OF all kinds;
pots, pans, casseroles, plates, cups
saucers, lamps and similar objects
that are made of copper, or of metals
OF which copper is a component
Only knives, forks and spoons are
exempt.
Soup tureens, ptos, sauce and
dessert dishes, vegetable containers
etc., made of pure nickel.
3-Kitchen utensils of every sort;
irons, cups and lamps made of brass
4-Wash boilers, water kettles
hearth adjuncts such as tongs, bath
tubs and the like, made of copper OF
metal Of which copper is an alloy.
5-Vessels for boiling fruit made
of copper or nickel.
6-Boilers or parts of stoves con-
sisting of copper, brass, bronze or
tombac.
Weights for scales weighing
more than one pound.
S-Cwtain rods and rug or car
pet holders, and such other rods used
in the ordinary household, as are
easily removed and are made of
brass.
Manufacturers of and dealers in
any of the articles above enumerat-
ed, are required, for the time being,
to turn over one-third of their sup
ply on hand, reckoned by weight
rather than value. All other pos
SCISSORS Of metal are required to
turn over everything they own, I'M
less they can prove to a commission
already in existence, that this or
that article is indispensable. Heavy
penalties are provided for those who
conceal anything.
No less than ninety-one commits
sions for receiving metal articles
have been created to handle the ar
duous task of collecting all the avail
able metal in Vienna. Up to the be-
ginning of the compulsory surrender
of metals, voluntary surrenders will
be received as they are made. After

Your burglar has passed your house

where it is you can't think. You put
it in some place year or two ago and

comes creeping along to learn If yor

From all sides comes the informa-
ton that Secretary of War Baker made
a profound impression upon those who
were so fortunate as to hear him speak
at the recent dinner of the American
Publishers association in New York
The illusion that Mr.. Baker IS a paci-
fist or "a mollycoddle was dispelled
when ne said in ringing tones: "In
the first place there must be, of course,
arms and soldiers, ships ard sailors,
and these must be modern and ade-
quate. No nation can with justice
summon embattled farmers with the
rude firearms which were adequate a
few decades ago. On this subject, how
ever, congress is at present legislating

With good reason the International
Journal calls the attention Of
congressman tine rest of us-to the
fact that in all the talk on prepared
ness hardly u word has been said ia
a really audible way about one Of the
most important forms of preparation
for military possibilities. Our regular
army, small as it now is, has a medical
service far below what every authori-
ty on the subject declares to be nee
essary if soldiers in the field are to
get proper care, and if taxpayers are
to be spared the burden of pensioning
numerous victims of preveutable dis
cases. For the new army the senate
bill provides s97 surgeons, an allot-
ment per 1000 men of less than half
the number demanded by the experts.
II any thought at all has been given
to the matter, the problem has appar-
| emily been dismissed because of a
| touching confidence in that much-ad-
vertised and highly lauded group
known as the Medical Reserve Corps.
Angry protest invariably follows any
suggestion that the estimable physi.
clans and surgeons in the corps, many
Of them being of eminence in THEN
profession and all of respectable ability
are not to be trusted as no less eff
Eeient than well ntentioned-which is
saying a good deal for them. But the
international Surgical Journal, mucl
venturing, notes that to care for a civil
ian population at home is one thing
while guarding the health and lives OF
soldiers on active service is anothe
and quite different thing-a especial
Ity' as distinct as any in medicine
And it is the volunteer even NOR,
than the regular, who needs the pro
lection which can be given only b,
the trained and experienced army sur
geon. What the civilian praetitione
did in and for our camps of 1898
too we'll remembered by some and to
soon forgotten by our Legislators. Re
suits would be better now, doubtless
for the members of the Medical Re
serve Corps have needed the dreadful
lessons of that time, and taken som
pains, many of them, to acquire a thee

advice Of some tree doctor. Here is
what he says: 1.-The sooner tree i

ground, the more chance it has to live.
1t is the small, fbrous roots that fee,
the tree; therefore they Should be
spread out to give them plenty of con
tact with the soil. and the soil SHOULD
be trodden firmly upon them. The toy
soil is usually best; it should be plac
ed directly on the roots, and the hole
filed up with the poorer soil taken
from below. Never set out tree il
full leaf; it viii rarely live. If the
roots are scanty the top should be
cut away in proportion; there Shout
not be more top than roots. Dip the
roots in water just before planting, t,
make the soil stick to them. 1t is bet

When a cloud of red-clay dust Is
backed by a strong west wind, 1t Is
harder to fight off than an attack OF
the pric KY heat. Some parts of the
country produce more dust than others,
and divide freely with the tourist who
complains of the price of table-board.
The favorite method of disposing OF
dust is TO sprinkle the streets on which
the mayor and city council reside.
This makes property near the home OF
the mayor very valuable, and it also
makes a rousing campaign argument.
On circus day the street sprinkler can
make more money carrying water to

Meaning of Diplomatic Break.
(Meriden, Conn, Journal.)


With the imminent possibility of
our seveHng diplomatic relations with
Germany, it is important to under
stand what such a step means. A dip
lomatic breach does not imply war, al
though it has often been a prelude to
war. AS explained by Frederic r.
Coudert, an international lawyer of
repute:
1.-The rupture of diplomatic rela-
tions in itself is method by which a
nation expresses its complete and alb
solute disapproval of the conduct of
some other nation and indicates it's
belief that for the time being the con-
duct of such nation has put it outside
of the family of nations. Treaties are
not thereby abrogated, nor does com
mercial intercourse necessarily cease.
1t is much the same as an individual
refusing to speak to or have any fur
Their dealings with a neighbor against
whom he has grievance.
We have taken such a step several
times in our history, without thereby
mourning war. Twice on our early
days as a republic we broke off diplo-
matte relations with France. On other
occasions we have suspended inter
course with Brazil and Mexico.
Every situation, Mr.. Coudert points
out, constitutes a case by itself. IT
must be recognized that always the
chances of war are likely to be in
creased by such break, because il
arouses hard feeling, and may lead
to new offenses at the same time thai
it removes the usual facilities for dip
! lomatic adjustment. And a breal
