PRESIDENT REPLIES TO pom
TIFF'S PEACE PROPOSALS AS
VIRTUAL SPOKESMAN FOR
ALLIES, REJECTING TERMS.
NOTE COMES AS CLIMAX
TO SERIES OF WAR PAPERS
Executive Asserts That America Must
Fight on Until Convinced That
Treaty of Peace is More Than
Mere Scrap of Paper-Allies
Likely to Endorse Note.

Washington, Aug 20. - President
Wilson's rejection of the Pope's peace
proposals is regarded here as the high
water mark Of the war. Furthermore,
1t Is Indicative of the virtual selec-
ton of the President by the Allies
as their spokesman before the world.
The note comes as a climax to the
remarkable series of state documents
In which President Wilson has argued
the cause of world democracy against
autocracy in the high court of pub
lie opinion and is accepted more and
more by the people of the allied coun-
tries as expressing their ideals.
There appears to be no doubt that
the United States was selected to make
answer before the world in advance
of all the others. Whether the AL
lied nations will send extensive re-
plies is not known here. 1t is re-
garded as probable that they will in
large measure adopt the Presidents
reasoning for their own and send
notes Of Endorsement.
General Tenor No Surprise.
The general tenor of the Presidents
reply had been anticipated every.
where, but there was no inkling Of the
fOrceful terms he would employ to
say that the world can have no faith
In the autocratic government of Ger

nunciation of the military autocracy

man people to throw off their mill

a government fit to deal with the re-

appeal probably will not be permitted
to become known in Germany until
the autocracy has attempted to mold
the temper of the people for it's recep-
ton by denunciation through a gov
eminent controlled press of what has
been characterized as interference in
the internal affairs of Germany, the
hope is that it will fall on fertile
soil
Compromise Moves Buried.

acter of the Presidents communica'
ton, it's immense Importance in de-
finitely terminating for the present

Electricity and Coal Waste.

From coal we chiefly draw the suns
stored energy. which is required to
meet our industriaD and commercial
needs. According to statistical records.
the output in the United States during
an average year is 100000 tons. In
perfect engines this fuel would be suf-
ficient to develop 50O,OO0.OO horsepow-
er steadily for one year, but the sQuan-
dering is so reckless that we do not get
more than per cent Of its heating
value on the average. A comprehen-
sive electrical plan for mining, trans
porting and using coal could much re-
duce this appalling waste. What Is
more, inferior grades, billions Of tons
Of which are being thrown away, might
be turned to profitable use.-Nikola
Tesla in Golfers Weekly.

SALT IN THE FOOD.
Why lie Flavor at Times 10 Too Weak
or Too Strong.

Why lie Flavor at Times 10 Too Weak
or Too Strong.
The average housewife wonders why
she often over or under salts her
dishes when she knows" that she
sailed them just right, as she always
did and as the recipes called for.
The reason is just this: The season.
ing value of different brands of salt
varies widely. This is easily proved
Take FIVE slices of ripe tomatoes; apply
equal parts Of five makes Of salt upon
the separate pieces Eat as soon as
sailed. The difference in flavor, per.
meation, rapidity and equality Of dis.
solution and seasoning value are read
lily detected.
A table salt should be fine, the crys.
tails Of equal size, quickly soluble and
free from ingredients which absorb
moisture from the air. Large and
small crystals will not dissolve uni
formly; consequently the full sailing
effect is not obtained until the larf.se
crystals are dissolved. The quickly
soluble salt diffuses itself through the
food at once and gives an equality OF
SAVIOR. Sticky salt is an intrusive null
sance.
Failures In sailing are largely due to
changing from one make OF salt to an
other. Get the best grade, grow ac-
customed to its use and stick to tt

WASHING THE DISHES.
Doing This Job Only Once = Day, h 10
Said, Saves Time.

Sa1o, caves tSu0s
1.-THE careful housekeeper will always
resent the suggestion that once a day
is often enough to wash Dishes" writes
DR.. III. Barnard in Table Talk" in the
National Food Magazine. "She cannot
train herself to allow soiled plates and
silverware to stack up from one meal
to the next, for she has been taught
that such actions are evidence of shift
less, slovenly housekeeping. AS mat
ter Of fact, along with many other no.
tons which are fixed in the operation
of the home, both time and energy are
saved by cutting out two Of the three
daily dishwashing jobs
DR.. Barnard goes on TO recite the ex-
perience of one housekeeper who actu-
ally dared study the homely work or
dishwashing. One week she washed
dishes three times day; the next week
she washed each days dishes alto
gether. She used the same number OF
dishes each day In both weeks. She
found that it took her fifty-one minutes
q day to wash dishes after each meal
and forty-One minutes a day to wash
them once day.
This took account only Of time. but
there was q considerable additional
saving in gas or fuel consumed by
heating water once instead OF thrice
day, to say nothing Of the saving In
soap.

Single File.

4 When the Indians travelled together
they seldom walked or rode two or
more abreast, but followed one anoth-
er in single file. 1t has been thought
by some that this practice resulted
from the lack Of roads. which COM
PEELED them to make their way through
woods and around rocks by narrow
paths. If this were the real reason
for the practice, then we should expect
to find that the tribes who lived in
open countries trayeled In company, as
do whites. The true reason for jour-
,neying as the Indians die in single file
seems to be feeling Of caste. This
feeling was at the bottom of other
customs of the Indians. 1t madestheir
women slaves and rendered the men
silent and unsocial This popularity
is Asiatic. How 1t has warped and
disfgured Hindu life is well known.

INTERNATIONAL PEACE.
Plans to Secure II, Have Geen Tried
For Three Centuries.

Plans to Secure IL. Have Eeen Tried
For Three Centuries.
Admirable and farsighted plans for
securing a peaceful international order
have been before the world for 800
years NJ. Emeric Cruce submitted his
plan, which included liberty OF COM
merce throughout all the world, as
early as 1923. Following the peace OF
Utrecht, the Able de St Pierre devel-
oped his plan, which included media
ton. arbitration and an Meresting adj
dition to the effect that any sovereign
who took up arms before the union OF
nations had declared war or who re-
fused to execute q regulation OF the
union or Judgment Of the senate was
to be declared an enemy Of European
society. The union was then to make
war upon him until re should be dis
armed or until the regulation or 5udg-
ment should be executed.
Some twenty years earlier William
Penn had produced his quaint and real
" extraordinary plan for the peace OF
Europe, In which he, too, proposed to
proceed by military power against any
sovereign who refused to submit bis
claims to a proposed diet, or parlia-
ment, of Europe or who refused to
abide by and to perform any judgment
Of such body.
