War TO UTTERMOST
Is the Decision Of the United States
Plans are Complete for Battling
Germany With Efficient Army
and Nayy-NO political
Alliance VIII Entente
Allies Thought
Contemplated.

Washington, March 23-The Ameri-
can government has decided upon
sweeping measures to be put into eff
feet following the expected declara-
ton by Congress soon after April 2,
that a state of war exists between the
United States and Germany.
Fully appreciating Germany's policy
Of acting in war first and talking af-
terward, the government has deter
mined to provide against every posi-
BILE emergency.
Broad questions involved were dis
cussed today at long cabinet meet
ing to which heads of departments
carried reports on preparations al
ready made and others contemplated.
Details are being taken UP between
President Wilson and the individual
cabinet members.
Regretfull the government appar-
parently has decided that since Ger
many is making war on the United
States through ruthless killing of
Americans and. destruction of their
ships, the issue must be met with steps
much more farreaching than mere at
tempts to protect individual merchant
craft.
If anything is ahead to prevent this
Il Is not now foreseen. Once state
Of war is declared to exist, aggressive
measures are expected to be taken.
AS outlined after today's cabinet
meeting, the preparations of the gov
ernment are not to be for short war
or war marked by half way meas
ures. Nothing is to be- taken for grant
ed. A complete program has beer
prepared so that everything will b,
carried out in a systematic and or
derly manner.
The exact measure of American par
ticipation in the war Is not expected
to be revealed until after the Presi
dent addresses Congress and unit
public sentiment crystallizes. So ia
as it known no political alliance will
the Entente Allies is contemplated, al
though military as we'll as naval co
operation is possible and the govern
ment will be unsparing in both none
and supplies for the Allies.

KENTS HILL NOTES

Kents Hill, Feb. 21.-The series of
evangelical meetings now being held by
the Seminary and in charge of Rev. J. M.
Arters of the Rumford Methodist
church, is proving very successful. A
large number of the local residents at
tend the after supper session and good
results are expected to follow the visit
OF the evangelist to the community
At chapel, Wednesday, the leader gave
the second ten minute talk Of his series
He chose as his theme new application
OF the story of the talents. He men,
toned three sorts of capital which the
world has to invest, namely, money capt.
tai, intellectual capital and soul capital
He pointed out that Adam and Eve,
when cast out of the garden of Eden
were turned from place of abundance
out into barren world. Starting with
but desert as their capital they so In
vested it and their descendants have so
continued to invest it as to make It, in
comparison, veritable rose garden. In
speaking Of money capital, Mr.. Arters
pointed out by an apt illustration how
great is the opportunity for financial
gain in our country. He showed the
new attitude of very wealthy men tow
ards their duty Of investing part of their
fortunes for the betterment Of human
ity. In discussing the proper invest
ment of intellectual capital the speaker
made reference to the lives Of Living
ston Wesley, and Florence Nightingale
He stated in very positive terms that
the call of today is for people who pos
sess intellectual capital such as may be
obtained at school and for the invest
ment of that capital in the Masters SER
vice.
The final meeting of the series will be
held on Sunday in the morning. Mr.. Ar
ters has arranged for mems meeting
at Waterville in the afternoon thus pre-
venting his presence at the regular
church services of the Seminary

Meatless Dinner Dishes

copyright, 1917, by the Mcclure News
paper Syndicate)
Meatless dinners needn't mean some
thing to be avoided by the person with
a hearty appetite. Somehow they do
suggest weak tea sardine croquettes
and thin stewed fruit But there is no
good reason why they should.
In planning the lenten dinner, or any
dinner without meat, always make a
point to have one hearty dish in place
of the meat. If possible see that this
substitute contains protein as we'll as
starches and fats. Here are some dish
es that will answer the purpose:
Macaroni and beans: This calls for
a can of kidney beans and one cupful
of broken macaroni, and a good to-
mato sauce The macaroni should be
boiled thoroughly in sailed water and
when done drained and put into a
double boiler with the contents of the
can of kidney beans. Pow o''o~ +'N's
the tomato sauce and a heat carefully.
Serve very hot. To make the tomato
+ sauce prepare a white sauce from
two tablespoonfuls each of flour and
butter and three-quarters Of a cup of
milk Season well and cook, adding
one-t third of a cup Of tomato juice
strained from can of tomatoes.
Oysters and macaroni make a de-
licious dish for those who relish the
flavor of oysters To prepare it cook
three quarters of a cupful of macar-
oni until tender in sailed, bubbling
water. Drain and alternate in pud-
ding dish with raw oysters. Season
with salt, pepper. and a little flour.
Cover the last layer of oysters with a
half cupful of bread crumbs Dot
with butter and bake 20 minutes.
Nut loaf is especially nutritious. II
calls for one quart Of stale bread
crumbs, two cupfuls of nut meats
chopped moderately fine. butter and a
fiavoring of sage, salt. pepper and
chopped parsley. Add three well beat
en- eggs with two tablespoonful Of
water. Mix we'll form in a loaf and
bake
Cheese and nuts combine very nicely
in baked loaf This calls for one
cupful each Of grated cheese and
chopped English walnuts and bread
crumbs Add two small onions chop
ped and cooked until tender in one
tablespoonful of butter and a little
water. Mix the onions with the
cheese and walnuts and add a little
more water If necessary to bind to-
gether. Butter a baking dish and
brown In a moderate oven.
Macaroni and tomato make a good
combination. This calls for one large
Spanish onion, one cupful of milk,
two ounces of butter and one-half
pound of macaroni one can of toma-
toes and grated cheese. Parboil the
