GERMAN DESERTERS
 FORFEIT CITIZENSHIP AND HOPE OF PARDON
Period of Grace Expired Last Month Deserters May Not
 Return to Native Land
f4ssociated Frs.sI

(4SS6Ctdted FF5.Sb
 ROTTERDAM, Netherlands, Aug Correspondence of the Associated Press1-The period of grace for Ger man deserters has just expired. All such who Ina dfled to Holland and oth- CT neutral countries, and who return during the stipulated period, were by proclamation assured of clemency. Instead of the extreme penalty pres cribed by the severe German military code. they were promised a chance to wipe out their offense by service at 5he front. All who had not returned by July 15 forfeit their German citi- zenship, and. according to the Army order, may never return to their fath- erland 'or hope for pardon.
 There is no evidence that any sub stantial number of the many hundreds probably thousands of deserters ia Holland returned to martial life. On ,ne other hand, the latest news from the frontier says the continued stream of deserters and escaped prisoners Of war in the reverse direction has led to the reinforcement of the German sentries At night sentry is now posted almost every hundred yards along the border.
 Clemency was not extended to men guilty of deserting to the enemy in the period of grace just closed. The latest measure testifies to the stren- uous endeavors being made in Ger many to round up every available man to fill the gaps in the far-stretching line of gun, rifle and bayonet in East and West
 4 camp for Ge1qaan and Austrian desertere i, to opened shortly at Der gen, in the province of North Holland. In ordinary circumstances, any such men have only to prove that they are genuine deserters to obtain complete freedom in Holland. This policy of extending open arms to all corners has been found to be attended by grave inconvenience -nu dangers. There has been an increase of crime and anxiety is felt in regard to the public health. The camp is being in- stituted for deserters who have of tended against public order and safe ty, or who are considered on good grounds likely to commit such offens- es; men whose condition is consider ed to constitute danger to the pub lie health will likewise be interned there All such will be given the choice of entering the camp or return ing whence they came.

Digestibility Of the
Common Vegetable Fats

The vegetable fats most commonly
used as food in the United States
namely, olive, cottonseed, peanut and
cocoanut oils-have been shown to have
high digestibility and consequent
food value by experiments recently re-
ported by the office of home economics
Of the United States department Of
agriculture. Sesame oil, which is used
extensively as food in some other
countries, but only in limited way in
the United States, was also found to
have high digestibility.
Cocoa butter, product Of the cocoa
bean and solid fat at ordinary room
temperature, was found, however, to
be little less thoroughly digested than
the other oils mentioned. The cocoa
butter was about 50 per cent digested,
while the other oils were approximate
ly 80 per cent digested.
The experiments indicate that for the
most part the vegetable oils studied,
especially the five with the higher d.
gestibility ratings, have about the same
food value and digestibility as the ami
NAL fats in general use.
No i'll effects from the consumption
Of fairly large quantities Of vegetable
oils were noted, and the experimental
evidence in general confirmed expert
ence in ranking them as desirable foods
for man.

When the Ice Gives Out.

The following suggestion is for the
benefit of those who do not have ice:
Stand milk bottle, tall glass filled
with butter Or whatever it is desired
to keep cool in deep dish. Put glass
inverted over the top or some other
means of thoroughly covering. Fill
outside dish with water as deep as pos
s1ble. Wiring a whole cloth Qinen is
best, as most absorbenD in cold water
and lay over the top In single thick
ness, drawing all ends under the water.
If there is margin Of this all around
ants cannot get in. Flies cannot pene-
trate the cloth, which draws up mois-
ture. Set in draft, away from the
sun. Butter will keep firm, milk cold
and sweet, through this method. Stand
On floor if possible. 1t is always cool
est there.

That are a hundred years away:
Though Of them could sing much praise
Our large concerns are Of to-day.
Sigh not for good old days Of yore,
There Is no music in the tone;
Today stands wide the open door,
Tomorrow is as yet unknown.

AS bring the dead past back to life
