ECONOMY CALENDAR
Economy in Mutton
BY Frances Marshall.

Downright, 1916 bv the Mcclure News
paper Syndicate.)
Really no meat dish can be called in
expensive nowadays. But the woman
who plans to have all leftover bits of
meat served in such a way that they
will prove appetizing and nourishing
Is effecting an accomplishment in
economy.
Here are some suggestions for serv-
ing leftover mutton in such way
that none of it need be wasted. and in
such a way, too, that all of it will be
enjoyed and that all Of it will prove
delicious.
Mutton pie-Remove all fat. bone
and gristle from the leftover mutton
and cut the meat into small pieces.
Simmer the bone, fat and gristle with
an onion, half a green pepper and a
little carron and some water, thicken
the resulting broth or gravy with flour
and pour it over the meat. which has
been neatly placed in a baking dish.
Make baking powder biscuit dough and
cut small biscuits. Place them on top
of the meat, barely touching each
other, and brown in the oven.
A good way to serve for second
time a leg of mutton is this: Have the
meat sliced, when first served, from the
outside of the bone, in the center Of
the leg. Then on the second day heat
the leg by steaming. then fill the cav
ity with mashed potatoes, packed
down firmly, brush them over with
melted butter. and brown in the oven
Mnce left-ov mutton and simmer
with minced parsley, green pepper
and the strained Juice from can of
tomatoes until hot. Have ready on a
hot platter border Of boiled rice.
we'll sailed and pour the mince Of
mutton into the center cavity.
Another delicious way of serving
left lover mutton is to cut it into small
pieces and heat 1t in white sauce, to
which a generous amount of drained
capers are added. Serve very hot on
very thin slices Of buttered toast

BRITISH SEIZE RAILWAY
IN GERMAN EAST AFRICA
Capture Two Towns and Rout
Enemy's Forces.

London, July 22.-British troops
operating in the northeastern section
Of German East Africa have occupied
Muhcza and Amani and have captured
the whole of the Usnmbara railway, ac-
cording to an official announcement
made here to-day.
The Official statement follows:
Lieutenant General SHUTS states
that the enemy, who attempted to in
terfere with his communications west
of Tanga, has been driven over the
Pangani River. The towns OF Muheza
and Amani have been captured and the
whole Of the Usambara railway has
been taken.
"On the southern borders of Lake
Victoria Nyanza we are pursuing the
enemy who escaped from Muanza. We
found the German steamers Muanzs
and Otto Heinrich scuttled in Stuhl-
mann Sound. Much booty was taken
from the vessels, which can be raised
easily and utilized"
The Belgian Colonial Office report Of
July 3 on operations in East Africa
says:
"A strong enemy force, which was
dislodged by the British occupation of
Bukoba and Karagwe Con the west
coast Of Lake Victoria) found its re-
treat barred by much weaker Belgian
force, under Major Rouling, near Bust
rayombo, at the southwest corner OF
Lake Victoria. After a determined
fight, in which the bulk Of the European
Germans were killed or captured, the
remnant of the enemy force fed in the
direction of Msriahif, closely pursued
BY our force Herr Godovius, COM
mander of the German column, WAS
among the prisoners taken"

rights TO aid them against Germany.
There Ia no less sympathy with the
cause OF England and France, but IL is
now time for them. conscious Of Ameri-
can liberality in the past, to be them
selves a little more respectful Of
American rights. Germany has grudg-
ingly yielded her respect for them;
they as friends, it is asserted, should
do no less.
Talk Of Retaliation.
Among Congressional leaders there
has been talk Of forcing" their OBJ
servance by means Of an embargo or
rctsliatory legislation Of some kind.
Such attacks, however-likc that made
by Senator Thomas. Of Colorado, yes
terday-are discountenanced by the
Administration. Its own attitude has
been greatly stifened by the unpopu-
larity OF the blacklist, but it Is thor
oughly confident that the issues can
be adjusted by diplomatic means. Be-
sides, it is pointed out, reprisals by
means of legislation would only react
more strongly against the United
States.
Meanwhile, not averse to taking
political advantage Of the situation,
Administration men are doing every
thing possible TO get votes for the
ship purchase bill out OF the black
list. Its bankers have seized the OPP
portunity to paint glowingly all tho
horrors Of British shipping embargo
unless American firms can prove un-
tainted destination for their cargoes.
The natural relief for this. they point
out, is government owned ships TO form
the nucleus for an American merchant
marine.
As upholding their case, it Is under
stood that the British have cited
American precedents in the Civil War.
When the Union blockaded the South
many British firms in Nassau and the
Bahama Islands continued TO trade with
Southern firms. These British com
panies were promptly blacklisted by
the North and London entered no pro-
test.
Now the situation is exactly the re-
verse. and it is understood the British
expect Washington 10 be equally fair

Ambassador Responds to
State Departments Re-
quest for Information.
u. S. PRECEDENT
IN CIVIL WAR CITED
Administration Amazed by Out
burst of Indignation at
England's Decree.
From Tne Tribune Hurvau. I

Washington, July 22.-Great Britain,
through its Ambassador, replied infor-
mally to-day TO the request Of the
United States for information regard
ing the operation Of the blacklist un-
der which the trade of many American
firms has been interdicted. Sir Cecil
Spring Rice called at the State Depart
ment and explained the trading with
the enemy act" to Acting Secretary
Polk.
Neither President Wilson nor Mr..
Polk took their accustomed week ends
of, the latter working at his desk un-
til late in the evening.
While tho State Department is busy
studying the case, especially precedents
relating to it. the resentment aroused
by the British decree continues 10 reg
lister itself Holland has expressed it.
self as being in sympathy with any
move the United States might make,
and information has reached the State
Department that South American re-
publics and Scandinavian countries are
following the developments with the
greatest Interest.
In even greater degree than the
United States has suffered, the COM
merce of these countries has been re-
stricted. Blacklists have been in
operation for months, but the govern
ments have been powerless TO inter
pose any defence.
Outburst Amazes Administration.
Administration leaders are amazed at
the outbuIst of Indignation through
out the country following the British
decree. Although the United States,
under international law, has virtually
no case against Britain, many Of the
blacklisted firms having been engaged
in unneutral trade, resentment has
been widespread.
In the opinion OF observers this is
significant of change that has como
over the country. While the contro-
versy with Germany was uppermost,
British infringements of American
rights were passed over with scarcely
protest. Ship seizures were per
mitted, mail hold-ups allowed and
American trade with neutral countries
interfered with, and compa rtively little
complaint was made by the American
people.
Then suddenly over a minor point
so far as the law is there
is burst Of indignation against Eng
land. Interpreted by Administration
leaders, this means that the country
now feels that the Allies have passed
the crucial stage Of the war and there
is no longer any need OF straining
American neutrality and American
