USE
OF POTATOES IN
MAKING Bread

Washington. Oct. 13.-More general
use of potatoes in making bread is rec
commended by the baking specialists of
the department of agriculture. Bread
containing boiled and mashed potatoes
was shown through experiments just
concluded to be as nutritious as ordi-
nary bread, and to have the quality
OF remaining fresh longer.
The department believes that in To-
calitieS where there is a surplus Of
potatoes, or where they are cheap
much economy can be practiced at this
time by reason of the high price of
wheat flour, and that even in locali-
ties where the relative market price
of potatoes and flour are such that
there is no economy in substituting
potatoes for flour the individual flavor
and keeping qualities of potato bread
should make it desirable as variant
in the family diet.
Potato bread as known in Europe
usually is made with potato flour,
which is not available in the United
States. In their experiments the gov
eminent experts baked excellent bread
with three pounds of potato and two
and half pounds of flour. Three re-
ceipts have been formulated.

Three weeks ago Americans might

pettey annoyance. What has happened is
a sufficient commentary on the argument.
Again. Americans have suggested that
our trading with the enemy regulation

pettey and unnecessary.

A hearing had been held in the probate

Judge SWEET at that time reserved his de-
cision until Friday. Among the legatees
under the will are David Q. Patrick and
wife Amanda of Saco, the Weber Hos

Home. The will was drawn up by Edwin
Stone of this city and was contested by
relatives of Mrs. Yates and others who
were represented by Judge J. P. Deering

is that Mrs. Yates was mentally unfit 70

GERMANY SENDS
WORD TO DUTCH
ON U-b0AT ORDERS

The Hague, Netherlands, Oct. 13.-(via
London).-The Dutch government today
received from the. German legation a
statement to the effect that implicit in
structions had been given to the COM
manders of German submarines to sink
neutral steamships in no case unless the
vessels could be destroyed in accordance
with the German prize law. Therefore
it was considered extremely unlikely that
the captain of the Bloomersdijk was told
by the captain of the submarine which
sank the steamship that he would send
to the bottom every ship which other
wise might touch a British port. Such y
statement, 1t was pointed out. would have
been completely opposed to the orders
given to the commander.
The government also was informed that
should it be proved the Bloomersdijk' S
sinking was not In accordance with Ger
man prize law, Germany would grant in
demnity for the vessel and cargo without
submitting the matter to German prize
court.
