Manipulating . Blanket.

Learning hoy to manage blanket that is little sho-t at one end and not quite long enough at the other, with similar deficiencies in width, is one of the first things the young sok
 dier should be taught. If he is not taught 1t, he will probably have an ex. perience like that of western recruit who says that in his first week in camp he lost great deal of sleep at night. When he lay on his back his stomach was cold: when he turned over his back was cold; when he pulled tie blanket up around his shoulders he got cold feet, and when his feet were un- der the blanket his neck was. uncom. 1Ortable. A veterans recipe may, however, be worth considering. He says the only way to manipulate an army blanket, on a cold night, is te pull your knees up to your chin, lie face downward, and hold the four cor ners of the blanket in your teeth.4

ALIEN ENEMY
 REGULATIONS
 FOR AUSIRlANS
America Holds 100000 Un- naturalized Austrians and
 5,000,000 Germans.

Washington, Dec. 8. - Suggestions that regulations governing alien enemies with the United States be ap piled with less severity to the many thousands of Austrian subjects, who actually are pro-ally or who are even in the American army, were consid- cred tonight by department of justice officials. It is said that the regula- tions, to be issued next week, may provide exemption for certain groups. such as Hungarians, Poles. Rumanians their mother country. Officials re- and Slavs who maintain little love for alize, however, that it will not be an easy task to arrange notifications without impairing effectiveness of the plan, which includes registration of alien enemeies with the police au. thorities, restricting their travel and barring them from water fronts.
 It is estimated about 100000 un- naturalized Austrian subjects and 100000 Germans reside in the United States.
 The department of justice tonight received a few reports of arrests of Austrians, following the declaration of war, and it was indicated there would be many more next week.

GENERAL PRINCIPLES TO BE USED IN PLANNING AND PRE-.
 PAIRING WAR MENUS,

1. Avoid fried foods, thereby con. serving the fat supply and promoting greater ease of digestion. 2. Use cooked breakfast foods such
 as muSh, oatmeal, brown rice, whole wheat, etc., in the place of the more expensive prepared" foods, such as corn flakes, puffed rice, etc.
 3. Use skinned milk for the adults and whole milk for the chil- dren.
 4 Cook all vegetables so as to conserve the mineral. Cook potatoes with their. jackets on. Never discard the liquor in which vegetables have been cooked. Use it for soups and white sauce. 'f
 3. In preparing dried foods, wash them and put them to soak. When ready to cook, use the water for cook ing in which the soaking has taken place. Otherwise the food materials in the water in which the food is pumped are lost.
 6. Meat should be used very spar ingly. The cheaper, tougher cuts may be purchased and ground in d meat chopper at home. Do not buy the hamburger or meat loaf' already prepared. Do not use veal or imma- ture poultry for foods. Instead, use fish. mature poultry. rabbits, etc., if one feels the need of meat. Beans, peas, cheese, milk eggs, nuts, etc, are the preferable substitutes.
 z. Use less wheat--if wheat flour is employed, use, only the graham flour made of the entire wheat grain. Shorts, middlings and bran make very good bread. .t
 $. Use less sugar. Leave cakes out of the menus, and especially the rich, frosted cakes. Use. instead, hard fruit cookies containing raisins, pruues,e dates, etc, which contain the natural fruit sugar.

TUG WRECKED AND CREW PERISH OFF
 ATLANTIC CITY

Atlantic, City, Gee. s.-Swamped by mountainous seas driven by the worst northeast gales this section has experienced in years, the tug Eugene F. Moran, foundered three miles off the upper beach late today and sank with all hands on board. The captain and ten men were lost. Members of the crew of the tugs tow, who were after battle by the coast guard crews, were unable to identify the victims. The tug, owned by the Moran Towing company of New York, was bringing two barges from New York to Philadelphia.
 At the risk of his life the captain of the tug cut the two big hawsers hold ing his tow probably preventing a heavier toll of lives.

As 1t Should Be,

Home is the one place in all this world where hearts are sure of each other. It is the place of confidence i; it is the place where we tear off that mask of guarded and suspicious cold. ness which this world forces us to war in self-defense, and where we pour out the unreserved communities tions of full and confiding hearts. It is the spot where expressions of ten- derness gush out without any sensa. tion of awkwardness, and without any dread of ridicule.-F. w. Robertson.

Jersey Police Form
Living Wall About Count

In the dark of the morning ten
plainclothes men hurried down Four
teenth Street and halted in the lee of a
saloon at Hudson Street, within few
feet Of the Hoboken shore road tracks,
They were the vanguard OF the army Of
police and Secret Service men that later
formed a living wall around Count Won
Bernstorff and his suite.
Chief of Police Hayes, OF Hoboken,
marched down with 100 patrolmen apd
stationed them ten feet apart on both
sides of Hudson Street. From time to
time men and women dropped out Of
the early morning procession OF Man
hattan-bound workers and joined Count
Won BernstorfF's final reception party.
Train Enters the Scene
When the last policeman had taken
his post a Pullman car poked its nose
through the alley leading into Hudson
Street. Half dozen Secret Service
men were on the rear platform, among
them Chief William ]. Flynn.
Four other cars rolled leisurely
through the opening, followed by a
small putting locomotive that had guild
ed the special from Jersey City. Three
Of the cars were sleepers, two carried
the luggage of the departing diplomats.
s At Z o'clock, fou- minutes after its
arrival. Captain Elder came out to
greet a friend. He was followed by
Prince Won Hatfield, secretary Of the
German Embassy. One of the fifteen
limousnes that awaited the party rolled
up. Won Hatfield entered with Sc
cret Service man and was whisked on
to the pier, block and half distant.
At brief intervals the other mem
bers Of the Bernstorff suite entered
automobiles and rode away. Several
male members of the party were in for
nal dress, and they took their seats IN
the waiting cars as seriously and as
stiffly as a Potsdam drillmaster. The
women members were dressed simply
in dark travelling suits.
Each car as it left the side of the
train was escorted by Secret Service
man.
Faces Camera Battery
The rapid clicking Of cameras at the
rear Of the train signalled the eagerly
awaited appearance of Count Won Bern
storf. Bareheaded, he stepped out
upon the observation platform and was
hailed with a chorus of good morn
ings."
His face was psllid and marked by
tired lines, but his manner was that OF
old-easy, friendly, democratic-as he
returned the greetings. The simplicity
of his travelling clothes contrasted
sharply with the formal garb OF his

Expects Convoy Of Ships
Speaking again OF the imminenee Of
war, he remarked hopefully;
"Maybe it is possible that war may
be averted. The President is repre-
sented by the newspapers as having
made it clear that the next time ne
went to Congress il would not be 10
ask for war, but in connection with
protection for American shipping
What does that mean? To me, per-
sonally. that could mean but one thing
the conveying of the ships"
In defence OF the measures taken oy
Germany, Count Won Bernstortt sald'
There has been cry against Ger
many on the ground that we have vio-
lated the rights of humanity and the
principles Of international law. Is II
not a violation of the rights or hui
manity for the British to try to starve
out the non-combatant population our
women and our German babies! There
is nothing humane in that

HUNDREDS OF GUARDS
AT TRAIN AND SHIP
Silent Throngs Watch
Liner Frederik VIII De
part for Copenhagen

The last diplomatic link that still
held between Germany and the United
States snapped at o'clock yesterday
afternoon. when the whistle of the
Frederik VIII sounded and she backed
away from her pier at Hoboken.
On her deck stood the dismissed
German Ambassador. Count Johann
II. Won Bernstorf, with his suite, and
200 other German .consuls and diplo-
matte attaches, returning to their own
land from the country that has re-
jected them.
In front Of the liner, as she fastened
away into the sea haze which was
blowing up from the lower bay,
police boat slipped along, keeping
guard. even as men of the Treasury
Department had watched over the de-
parting ambassador all through the
long hours Of waiting before the YES
sci sailed.
Crowds gathered along both the New
York and Jersey waterfronts TO watch
the Frederik pass out to sea. The
t,.rong that collected about the Sean
dinavia-America pier taxed the pow
ers of HobOken police and Secret Ser
vice men TO hold them back. There
was no sneering or cheering. The de
parture of Won Bernstorff was more OF
a ceremony than the simple act Of
liner quitting port
Departs in a Haze
On the docks. on waterfront build
ings crowds stood silent as the inner
steamed for open sea. The. sun was
sinking far down the bay, over the Jer-
sey shore. A thick haze had erept IN
on the late afternoon wind and hung
over the far away mouth Of the mar
Dor. ......s.l -,
The count and countess spent much
Of the time before sailing in their
cabin. Both were apparently under
heavy strain. When Won Bernstorf dld
appear he seemed weary, and smiled
only when he submitted to the news
paper photographers.
AS the time for the vessel departure
came near most of the German omclals
came on deck to shout farewell 10
their friends ashore. Now and then
voice choked in the midst OF some
cheering message. One or two men
wept openly.
Cheered by Sailors
When the vessel started down the
river the German seamen on the I'M
nrisoued liners cheered. From the
masthead Of every ship interned on the
Hoboken shore strings of signals nut
tered a goodby message.
The ambassador stood with ms wi1e
a little way apart from the rest Oh
those who focked TO the rails. He
waved his hat in acknowledgment of
tho cheers. Later Prince hatfield,
formerly counsellor to the embassy,
and his wife Joined them.
Together they watched the skyline

The Frederik slid more rapidly lhto
the gathering dusk, still dogged by inc
smaller craft. And then she plunged
into the mist that stood between ne'
and the mystery Of the open sea. Won
Bernstorff had gone. The bulk oil the
Statue OF Liberty still loomed up III
