CLEVELAND DIDN'T CAUSE WAR.

The sound and sensible method which Charles E. Hughes told a heck leE in Louisville that he would have used in averting such a catastrophe as that which occurred when the Lusitania was sunk has caused certain of the democratic press to view it with alarm and declare that it would have meant war. That is the dodge which is being used to meet the policy which stands for the upholding of American rights, but there is no ground for claiming that it would have meant war any more than there is for the assertion now that the election of MT Hughes would mean the ending of peace.
 Mir. Hughes is a man of peace. He has always stood for it and he does today and hopes to be able to con- tribute to a world peace. He does not favor, however. the idea of sacrificing our known rights. The fact of the matter is that there would in all prob ability have been no breaking of dip- lomatic relations with Germany by following such course as he would have taken, for as MT. Hughes took care to say at the beginning of his answer he would have put the state department in such hands that the nations of Europe would have known that it could not be played with. He would not have named a head of that department who would have told a foreign representa- tive that a note was meant only for home consumption.
 The fact is that an administration under Hughes would have followed the same course that Cleveland did when he wrote his Venezuelan note Ameri- can rights would have been upheld and foreign governments would have re- spected our position. Instead of that q weak, backboneless attitude was as stunned and we have been suffering from it ever since.

HOW TO REHEAT MEAT.

Meat must only be relocated, not cooked.
 Use good gravy or stock. and sea- son well.
 It is necessary to allow the meat to soak in the gravy or stock before re- heating.
 Rissoles should be moist inside, therefore the addition of gravy or sauce is necessary.
 All vegetables added should be cooked beforehand.

A good gift for linen shower would be lavender pads for the linen chest or closet, Two pieces of linen Of a deep cream color, three by five inches, with one side embroidered. would make a good looking pad. A border design in lavender and green, done in cross- stitching, would be sufficient decora- tion. A lavender flower in satin stitch embroidery or in cross stitch placed in the centre of the pad would also be attractive. After the embroidery is finished the two pieces of linen are sewed together on three sides, turned and filled with lavender. The opening is overhanded together and the pad is ready to place among the linens

RAILROAD RUMBLES
AbsOlves Rock Island
Directors in Big Suit

In the United States District Court
In New York city Judge julius Mayer
has handed down an order authoriz-
ing Walther c. Noyes, as receiver of
the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific
Railroad Company, to settle and COM
and the railroad company against the
directors for $75O,0OO paid by Daniel
G. Reid and William Fl. Moore. The
order is the result OF. a petition by
Judge Noyes, as receiver, supported
by the affidavit of Charles f. Rush
more, counsel to the receiver.
The chief claims asserted were that
the purchaser of the Frisco system was
a violation of the Sherman act and re-
suited in a great loss to the railroad
company and that dividends had been
paid out of current earnings when the
capital of the company was impaired
by the sale of the Frisco stock. The
affidavit of Mr.. Rushmore. support
ing Judge Noyes' petition for leave to
settle, stated the belief of the re-
ceiver and his counsel that the re-
ceiver could not successfully litigate
the claim and that no liability could
be successfully asserted against either
Reid or Moore.
The defenses of Messrs. Reid and
Moore and the other directors have
thus received the sanction of the
court, and they are absolved from all
company, the stockholders, or credi-

Breakers on Top of
Deckhouse

.Scituate, Mass, March 4. Two
light coal barges, the Ashland and
Kohinoor, which broke adrift from
the tug Swatara, in tow for Philadel-
phia, were wrecked last night on Mi
not's Light lodges.
Five men, the crew of the Kohl
moor, were lost, while five men aboard
the Ashland were washed ashore on
the deckhouse early to-day and haul
ed through the breakers to safety.
The North Scituate coast guard
picked up an exhausted man from the
Kohinoor who died before the surf
boat landed.
The tug encountered gale soon
after leaving Boston harbor. The tow
ing hawser parted and the barges
fetched up on the lodges, the Kohl
neer going to pieces almost imme-
diately.
Captain Estrand of the Asland
said the Swatara with her remaining
barge, tho Kimberton, probably kept
on to Provincetown. The barges were
owned by the Philadelphia and Read
ing Transportation Company.
