MINISTERS SPAR
WITH FIGHT GERM
DR.. Reisner Scores Knock
Out, Blaming War for
Recent Match.

A secret OF stunning import to the
public was revealed last night In Car
negie Hall, where five hundred mass
meters. including the orchestra, gath
cred TO protest against the Willard
Moran fight, which drew $4,000 persons
TO Madison Square Garden.
The last speaker-the Rev. Christian
F. Resner-let il out. lie told just
what was behind that fight II wasn't
Tex Richard, or the desire Of the two
participants TO sec who was the better
man. or the interest of a certain portion
Of the public, not represented at last
nights meeting.
One warm day In the latter part Of
June 1914, there was a shooting
affair over in Sarajevo, Serbia. Then
and there the germ Of the willard
Moran fight was Matched. After that
shooting, which, the speaker neglected
to mention, involved a certain grand
duke and his consort, most Of Europe
went to war. And in the war that
little Serbian Willard Moran fight
germ developed as his cousins do In a
pail of warm milk.
No country, no race Of people, no
sportsmen and no molly-coddles were
inoculated against that prize fight
germ. Finally it was transported to
these shores. People at the motion
picture houses got hardened that they
could watch blood running through the
trenches without batting an eyelash.
"Then"-to come back 10 Mr.. Reisner
the spirit of war was on US. We
felt an impulse to punch somebody.
That fight spirit has been with US for
months. tell you, my friends. if it
had not been for the war the City Of
New York would not have permitted
Willard and Moran TO fight for two min
utes."
Loud applause from the audience and
the orchestra.

BURGLARS DRUG
SUCCEEDS AGAIN
Escapes with $4,000 Loot In
"ChlOrOfOrm" Raid.

After several months Of inactivity,
the "chloroform burglars have des-
cendcd again upon the upper West
Side. Detectives have been assigned
to investigate two robberies, where
about ten apartments were entered and
the occupants drugged.
According to those whose apartments
were looted, II was the work of one
man. who was singulsrly daring and
agile. Between midnight and 6 o'clock
on the morning Of April /, he entered
the Alclyde apartments, At West
Ninety-fourth Street, through the
apartment Of Abram Davis on the
ground floor. After collecting all the
valuabes he could find IN rummsglng
through the whole apartment, he pro-
ceeded upstairs, probably by way OF
the fire escape, and entered five more
apartments, taking only money and
jewelry. The first 20 send out the
alarm was Mr.. Davis. who swoke az D
o'clock and discovered that the robber
had escaped with more than $1,000, and
5000 watch.
Mr.. Davis said that he was sure the
robber had used some drug on him.
The walls Of the bedroom had recently
been painted, and finger marks were
found near the bed as though the rob-
Der had leaned over Mr.. and Mrs. Davis
10 administer an anasthetic. Both OF
them reported to the police that they
felt the effects of drug when they
swoke. Others whose apartments were
entered told the police similar stories.
Last Wednesday night, the police say,
the same burglar forced open a window
on the ground floor of 3S5 Central Park
West and entered the apartment Of a
woman. After gathering up about $500
in cash and $500 worth of jewelry he
climbed the fire escape and looted sew
eral other apartments.

cANDIED cRANBERRIEs
Directions for Making a Delicious
CONNECTION Much Resembling
Candied Cherries

Candied cranberries make delic-
ious and inexpensive confection much
resembling candied cherries but hav-
ing a distinct flavor of is own. This
is a suggestion to housewives from
the home economics experts or the
new department, who have been de-
veloping new uses for the cranberry.
They have developed a method which,
if followed closely, gives a bright,
firm, plump, semi-transparent candied
fruit which can be eaten as sweet
meat or used to give a touch of color
to frosted cakes, whipped cream, or
custards, or which can be used like
citron in cakes and puddings, or chop
ped up and added to tutti-frutu ice
creams.
The secret of candying cranberries
lies in handling the fruit so that 1t
will become saturated with sugar,
This calls for slow cooking on the in
stalIment plan and the use of dish
large enough to permit all the Der'
ries to float at the top of the sirup
during cooking. The skins are so
tough that they must be pierced be-
fore cooking to let the sirup into the
pulp or interior. To do this, three
little Sits, each one-eighth inch long
should be made in each berry with
the point of penknife. Use selected
large, firm cranberries. The diree'
tions for cooking are as follows:
For / 1-2 cups of berries make q
thin sirup by boiling together until
clear 2 cups of sugar and 2 IL cups
water. When the strip is cool ado
the berries and bring very slowly tc

! heated too quickly, the skins vii

burst before the sirup soaks into the
pulp. AS soon as the sirup boils take
the dish off the stove and let it stand
over night. Next day drain the sirup
from the berries and boil it until it is
reduced to about half its original vol
ume. Put the berres into this med
ium-thick sirup and heat slowly; boil
gently for three or four minutes and
then allow ITO stand for two hours or
more. Then boil gently third time
for five minutes. A smaller dish will
probably be needed for the third and
last boiling. When thoroughly cold
or better still, on the following day
drain off the sirup and spread the
berries out on lightly buttered plate
or a sheet of clean, waxed or lightly
buttered paper until the surface OF
the berries dries.
The berries, if directions have been
followed, will candy separately and
not into sticky mass.
To make delicious ice cream add
one-half to three-fourths of cur
of chopped berries to each quart OF
the cream mixture. They also can be
combined with bits of candied orange
or lemon peel, or other glace fruits
to make tutti-frutti ice cream. The
sirup left over after the berries are
candied has a pleasant sweet-acid
flavor and fine color and is excellent
in pudding sauce or even, when di
luted with water, for use on pancakes
waffles, etc.
