ship for the United States" said Mr..
Mendez at his home. 1.-The island is
the key to the gulf of Mexico and to
the Caribbean sea, and by declaring
war on Germany Cuba closes all her
ports to Germany. More than this, all
the ports of Cuba now are open to the
United States as a war ally for indefi-
mite periods and for unlimited supplies
Of all kinds. whereas had Cuba not en-
tered the war American warships
would have been subjected to all re-
strictions of international law as to
time of stay and amount of fuel OBJ
tainable there.
''In other words, Cuba desires to be
the outpost Of the United States in the
gulf and to act also if necessary as a
halfway station to aid the northern re-
public in its transportation Of troops
and munitions Of war to the Panama
canal or to other points on the gulf or
on the Caribbean sea. President Men

constant recruiting throughout the war,
and $4,000 more volunteers will be re-
cruited to take the place in the army Of
those sent to the front or distributed
wherever the United States wishes to
use them.
Announcement also has been made
that American warships will aid the
Cuban navy in patrolling the waters
around the island and such parts Of the
gulf as may be deemed necessary. The
ill timed and badly advised revolution
is at an end; General Gomez is pris-
oner in Havana, and other revolution

FRUIT JUICES FOR JELLY MAKING
KEPT WITHOUT SUGAR

Washington, D. c., June 12-Fruit
juices for use later in jelly making
Can be sterilized and bottled without
sugar and made into jellies at the
housewives convenience. This enables
her to do with fewer jelly glasses and
to distribute her purchases of sugar
for jelly making through the year.
Moreover, with the bottled juice she
can make a greater variety of jellies,
as juices which will not jell can be
put up when the fruit is ripe and COM
bined later with fruits that will jell,
or fruits ripening at different seasons
can be combined. For example, the
juice of strawberries, cherries, or pine
apple can be kept without sugar and
later when apples are plentiful can be
made into combination jelly.
From the unsugared sterilized
juices of currants, apples, crabapples,
and grapes, kept from 9 to IS months,
the Bureau of Chemistry, United
States Department of Agriculture, re-
Gently made jellies of excellent tex
ture, flavor, and color,
To put up unsugared fruit juices for
jelly making, proceed exactly as il
jelly were to be made at the time.
Cook the fruits until they are soft and
strain out the Juice through a flannel
bag. Heat and pour while hot into
bottles previously scalded. Fill the
bottles full, leaving no air space be-
tween juice and cork or SEAL Place
the filled sealed bottles on their sides
In water near the boiling point, and
keep them in the bath for about 30
minutes. Make sure that the corked
or sealed end is under the hot water.
AS soon as the bottles are cool, cover
the cork with paraffin seal. Thor
ough sterilization aand sealing are alb
solutely essential to success.
To make jelly from the sterilized
juice, test its telling quality, add the
proper amount of sugar, and proceed
as in making jelly from freshly ex-
pressed juice.
