Omitted Press Stan Correspondent
LONDON. April S.-;More than So
combats against German submarines
have taken ulace since February l.
and 2s of these in the period from
February Fl to March 17-Lord Rob-
ert Cecil, minister of blockade, stated
today.
His statement was evoked by
uestion from the United Press sug-
gesting that he outline for Americans
what he thought the problems Of the
day were in the submarine menace.
Several points stand out striking
ly in the German submarine blockade"
he said. I'm the first place, it Is
confession OF weakness and a sign
| that the Germans have really aban-
doned all hope OF obtaining a success
I'll issue in the land war It also ap.
pears to be due to a realization that
they cannot-so far as water craft
are concerned-hope to contest the
mastery Of the seas which the allies
have possessed since war was first
declared.
i would not speak OF the aspect Of
the campaign Of brutality in this war
rare. 1t is not new from Germans.
Indeed it would rather surprise the
allles-and l think l may also say nell
trals-'lf the Germans hesitated TO
employ any means because if was in
human or contrary to interna tional
law. Their government is a govern
ment OF force; their patriotism is not
based on any fine noble grounds. hut
merely the doctrine OF German state
above all-and any means are justi-
liable to maintain the greatness Of
that state and impose it's will on the
rest Of the world.
1T is that spirit we are fyhting.
it rs that doctrine which we must de-
stroy If we wish durable peace.
AS to the results of the submarine
blockade l cannot deny that grave
losses have been caused shipping, but
l do not think l am exaggerating in
saying that the losses have fallen
very far short Of those the Germans
hoped to infict.
Ohe must remember too That while
you hear lot Of the number of Ger
man submarines claims, you do not
hear so much about the losses the
submarines themselves suffer. In this
connection, 1t is worth pointing out
nat 0sutrals suffer more than bel.
ligerents.
Like all bullies, the Germans are
! tondest OF attacking those who can't
defend themselves. Unarmed neutral
merchantmen are just the sort OF
targets that German submarine real.
ly likes. But as with all bullies, those
who stand up against them suffer the
least.
Some neutrals in terror keep their
ships at home. Some are suffering
consequently, a real blockade. Let
them pluck up their courage and come
out The submarine menace is not
nearly as bad as it sounds.
I am sure you will realize that for
naval reasons it is impossible for me
TO sreak very definitely on this sub
Ject' the more so since it is very Of

WAStuNGTON. April 9.-Among

This not only makes them fatty

soak the beans overnight In cold wa

the water and use It for making soup.
Put the beans in a baking dish. ada
two level teaspoonsful Of salt, cover
them with water, cover the dish ana
bake to hours, leaving the dis
uncovered during the last hour. It's
unnecessary to flavor them with mo-
lasses as their natural avOr is du.Il
ious.
Since the soy bean contains no
starch the liuid in which they arc
cooked isn't thickened and the beans
remain separate. IL this is consider
ed Objectionable, the liquid can be
uickened with corn meal, onc-third
OF a cup to q uart Of beans.
The skins Of the soy beans can be
removed by boiling the beans for ten
minutes and allowing them to ccol
over night in the same water and
then rubbing between the hands. Mos.
persons prefer the beans without the
skins. They have more delicate
flavor and are, probably, more digcsti-
Bile when thus prepared.
