world, you find the nations coming together against her. Before Germany can talk peace the Kaiser must step out and the country must be prepared to receive the just punishment that is we'll meritted. Nothing doing otherwise. At least that is our opinion.

MERELY TALKING.

It goes without saying that we hope that this peace talk reported in dispatches yesterday has deeper significance than most of us are ready to believe and that the parties concerned have real desire for peace, but we can hardly believe that peace will come through talking agency One side will have to be knocked sense less before we can really hope for peace They have gone too far now to give in easily.
 In the first place, peace will not come until Germany asks for it. otherwise need not ex- pect peace before the knock out blow is given, and not until then. The Entente Allies which include besides the original parties the United States. China and the South American republics. are not to let Germany come out of that desplc- able war with her whole skin. They will see that she gets the punishment so we'll meritted before they let go Bearing that in mind and knowing the autocratic propensity of the ruler of that country, it follows that talk will avail nothing.
 The only star of hope in the Armament of trouble that may lead to peace is the seeming tendency of the Socialist, Liberal and Catholic parties of Germany to join hands and force the Kaiser to quit Should the combination insist on demanding peace, the Kaiser will be forced to step down and out; then the Allies will talk peace even with generosity, despite thelr flght to be stngy and even ugly about it. On the other hand, so long as the Kaiser has anything to do with the settlement of the war, just so long the war shall continue.
 For forty years Germany prepared for that war and after three years of desperate fighting. she is fast losing her strength. Why? Simply because we had good cause, and simply because without any just provocation she has been try ing to hack her way through resulting in one country after another dropping away from her. Two of her own treaty nations have dropped away from her. and today, almost all over the

A JAPANESE ENTERTAINMENT
Festival Held in Yokohama in Honor of
American Admiral.

Yokohama, Japan, Aug, 80 GORE.
spondence of the Associated Press "A
notable demonstration of friendship to.
ward the United States was given re.
Gently by the citizens of Yokohama, who
arranged an elaborate entertainment in
honor of Admiral Austin NJ Knight and
other officers of the United States Asiatie
fleet. Admiral Knight came to Japan to
convey to Emperor Yoshihito the thanks
of the United States for the honors
shown to George W. Guthrie, late Amer
| lean ambassador
| The festival was held in the public
gardens which were beautifed by the
son. The distinctive feature of the func-
ton was the presentation of magnifi-
cent silver flower bowl to Admiral Knigh;
by Mayor Audo, in behalf of the citizens.
The souvenir bore suitable inscription
in Japanese and contained a scroll, signed
by leading residents, asserting:
'The existence of friendly relations be.
tween your country and ours is tradi-
tional. Yet, by the entrance of the Unit
ed States of America into the present
war our interests have become more
closely linked together than ever be-
fore; the friendship existing between us
has so matured that to-day we are not
only friends but allies
eve deem it fitting occasion there
fore for us to show our high regard for
you, and through you our warm feeling
for the American people, by presenting
to you this bowl. May it serve both as
mark of our respect for you and as
token of our sincere friendship for your
fellow countrymen."
Admiral knight accepted the gift as an
expression of the good feeling borne for
the United States by the people of Japan.
The entertainment consisted of jugglery |
and geisha dances. Japanese artists paint

senting them to the Americans as souve-

quate fuel supply to meet war time needs
is a possibility.
Operators were silent while United
Mine Workers officials awaited reply to
their invitation for joint conference to
discuss the wage increase proposed Tues
day. The miners, however, expect the
operators to agree to conference
There were intimations among pessi-
mistic operators here that they were
about ready to turn their mines over to
Coal Dictator Garfield and let him wres-
tie with their problems
Confronted on one side with a maxi.
mum price for coal and on the other by
the miners request for increased pay,
the operators feel, as one put it, that
they are Between the devil and the deep
blue sea-"
On the other hand union officials point
ed out they offered, ii necessary, to go
to Washington and show their need for
higher wages, in an effort to secure an
upward revision of the present coal max
imum price.
Miners feel they are in just as tight
a corner as the operators. They point
to rapidly rising prices of the necessities
of life and to their fixed wage and see
a hard winter ahead unless they get a
raise

Some Uses of Hot Water.

| Hot water is far more of a medicina
property than many believe or know. Be
cause it is to be had for nothing
many think it valueless on tn,
theory that what comes easiest is oft
times least thought Of. The uses of hot
water are, however, many:
For example, there is nothing that sc
promptly cuts short congestion of the
lungs, sore throat or rheumatism, as hot
water when applied promptly and thor
oughly.
Headache almost always yields to the
simultaneous application of hot water
to the feet and back of the neck.
A towel folded several times, and
dipped in hot water, and quickly wrung
out and applied over the toothache or
neuralgia, viii generally afford prompt
relief.
A strip of flannel. or napkin folded
lengthwise, and dipped in hot water and
wrung out, and then applied round the
neck of child that has the Group, will
sometimes bring relief in ten minutes
Hot water taken freely half an hour
before bed time, is helpful in the case
of constipation while it has most
soothing effect upon the stomach and
bowels.
A goblet of hot water taken just after
rising before breakfast, has cured thous-
ands of indigestion and no simple remedy
is more widely recommended by physi.
clans to dyspeptics.

ITALIAN 4IRMAN FLIES
200 MILES WITHOUT STOP
Covers the Distance From Naples to

SO Minutes.

Paris, Aug. 3O.-Captain Guilio Lau-

has established a new worlds long dis
lance record by flying more than 900
miles without stopping, says dispatch
to The Temps from Milan. The Italian

distance of about 920 miles as the crow

Jelly Making.

Three things are essentk in the max
ing of jelly. The fruit must contain
the right amount of pectin, the proper
the fruit juices must be boiled the right
length of time after the sugar has been
added.
All fruits which are green or nearly
ripe contain a substance known as pee
tin which causes the fruit juice to "jell''
when combined with the proper amount
Of sugar and boiled the right length of
time. II the fruit is too ripe, causing
the juice to ferment, or if the Juice is
boiled too long, then the pectn under
goes a change and it will be impossible
to obtain jelly of the right firnness
Therefore it is essential the fruit be,
perhaps, just, little underripe and that
the boiling of the juices and sugar to-
gether be not carried on too long.
A test for pectin is to take table
spoonful of the hot juice before sugar
has been added, add the same amount
of % per cent alcohol and if gelatin.
GUS substance forms which may be
gathered up on a spoon, pectin is pres
ent and good jelly should result If it
is found that pectin is not present, cook
the fruit juice again with the white
peel of orange or lemons or crabapples
or green grapes, until the above test
shows pectin.
The old rule of "a cup of sugar for
each cup of juice" is good in some cases
but it is better to use a syrup gauge
which may be obtained at almost any
drug store. To use the gauge, pour the
hot juice into small tall bottle like
IN olive bottle and drop the gauge care
iully into it, The gauge should read |
IS degrees; if under this reading add |
more sugar; if the gauge reads more
han % degrees, add unsweetened juice
because too much sugar has been used
Be careful that you do not use too much
ugar at first because it is easier to
i'd than to eliminate.

Insuring Our Soldiers and Sailors.

That a nation owes much to its citi-
zens who have fought its battles and
to their families when they have been
killed or injured so as TO destroy or i'm
pair their capacity to provide for their
families has always been recognized by
the United States. This just and gem
erous policy of our country, as admin
istered under our pension system has
been u9duly costly and has not always
been just One of the proposed uses
of the proceeds of the Liberty loan is
to give life and indemnity insurance to
our soldiers and sailors and to provide
allowances to their dependent families
while they are in the ranks.
The plan worked out by Secretary of
the Treasury McAdoo and his coadjutors
embodied in a bill which is now pending
and approved by the president has been
in Congress. As to the business and
Righteousness of this insurance of our
fighting men Secretary McAdoo says:
Military service in the United States
is obligatory; those who imperil them
selves have no election. The insurance
companies do not and can not permit
this to affect their calculations. They
must protect themselves by charging
premiums so high that they are secured
against loss no matter how severe the
rate of mortality may be. Consequent
ly the very men who are called into
the service because their physical condi. |
tion is of the best and who as civilians
would for that reason Be able to secure |
the most favorable insurance rate in
peace time, are denied as soldiers the
necessary life insurance to enable them
TO protect their families and dependents.
The extra hazardous risks of war puts
insurance entirely beyond the reach of
the conscripted soldier.
'The government which subjects these
ment to this insurmountsble discrimi
nation should itself supply insurance to
soldiers at cost and upon the peace basis.
II would in fact be dastardly and un
democratic if the government should
penalize the soldier who is forced to
render the highest duty of the citizen
BY failing to provide for him war in
sursnce upon peace terms and at net
,ost. The pay Of the enlisted men IN
he army and navy is less than the
wages and salaries generally earned in
private life and government insurance is
IN essential war and emergency measure
naugursted for the specific benefit of
,ur military forces and can not and
hould no; be conducted for profit
This legislation viii be q great step
Onward in the recognition Of the re-
luhlic's duty to it, heroes. II deserves
arrest and vigorous support Of the
ountry The United States should set
he highest example Of al the nations

lie for their country and for world free
