that they have no desire to be treated
like Greece, the Zeitung says, ''but
the American government goes its way
systematically reducing the supply Of
necessary raw materials to those Euro
pea,n ncutraIa which will not serve
American purposes. America intends
thereby to exert an influence on the
attitude of neutrals toward belligerents
This, however. is an interference with
the free will of the neutrals in direct
opposition to the law of nations
The writer of the article, a German
international iurist, DR.. Noeldeke, de
clares that the utilization of hunger
threat against neutrals ma kes the
American action worse. He does not
believe that the neutral states will be
able any longer to make effective pro-
test and holds that the United States,
which should have led the way in de
Tense of neutral rights, has completely
failed .'because it is now absolutely
evident that Wilson, like the rest, only
employed the protection of neutrals as
q convenient excuse.
Commenting ON the same subject, the
semi official Cologne Gazette SAYS the
Wilson export regulations represent an
illegal action unique in the history of
the civilized world. Ncutrals which
merely want to carry on their trade and
obtain their food supply, says the Ga
zette, are to be starved and condemned
to unemployment Just because they vii
not obey the orders of the Entente.

Historic Battlefield.

\ half-hour's ride from the main
gate of Pultava lies the historic bat
tlefield. The rolling plain where
Swcde and Russian fought is covered
with golden-yellow wheat. 1t is TIE
most peaceful-looking spot in the
world. Near the center of the plain
there is mound about % feet high,
crowned by cross. On the cross Is
the simple, Enthusiastically Russian
inscription: Here are buried the
Swedes who died at Pultaya." 1t is
grimly unSentimental. with no sweet
and fitting it is to die for the father
land" about it. The Swedes were
killed here, they were buried here, and
that is all there is to it. The Russian
records the facts of the case, and in
| dulges in no Surmise as to whether the
dead men found it sweet and fitting or
not. But once q year mass is said
| on the mound. Historians and mill
tary men will tell you that this battle
| of Pultava was the most important In
| many centuries, that it ranks with
Waterloo. 1t was certainly battle
with many of the clements of romance
Two young kings were fighting for SUI
premacy in half q continent Peter
of Russia drove Charles of SwedeT
from the field. Great things were set
tied on this little field, but the yellow
wheat whispers in the sun as though
it knew secret more important thar
any of them.

Canning Corn.

Now is the time to answer the call of
the canning club and save the food of
the nations.
The lesson for today is on corn. For
canning on cob, select corn of uniform
ripeness and size and proceed with the
canning as soon as possible after the
corn is picked. If too ripe, the corn
will turn dark in sterilization and it
will be rather hard and tough; if not
ripe enough, it will be fiat when
served Remove husk, silk and shank
and any defective parts. Blanch the
corn in boiling water for six minutes
and plunge quickly into cold water fol
few minutes Pack in jars, altcrnat
ing tips and butts, add a level teaspoon
full of salt to each quart and fill jars
