o MESSAGES REACHED AM,
BASSADOR GERARD.

Repeated attempts were made TO
communicate with the American EN-
bassy. but none of the messages
reached Mr.. Gerard. After a month
all the men OF the rank OF officers,
including the four Americans, were
transferred to Karlsruhe, and the
others to Dulmen.
The journey to Karlsruhe required
flfty-two hours. on the way from
Neustrehtz they were switched about
for eighteen hours in the yards at
Berlin at a time when Ambassador
Gerard. whose imperative instruc-
tons were to ascertain whether
there were Americans among the
Yarrowdale prisoners, was In persist
ent and pugnacious fashion lombard e

daily notes OF inquiry.
They were almost starving when
| they arrived at Karlsruhe. There
they found that the insufficient ra-
tions of Neustrelltz were succeeded
by a steadily diminishing diet.
DIR. Snyder says he lost thirty
pounds and others about as much.
These Americans are unable to Civ,

Yarrowdale. Every scrap OF paper
including passports, was taken from
them. DR.. Davis and Mr.. McKiu
said that on the Georgia with then

There was no loss OF life in the

French Canadians were killed. The

Shoes that are strapped to the ankles
by a strip of material to initiate a
bracelet are gaining adherence every
month. This strap is fastened with an
imitation jewel or a tiny paste buckle.
They are made in all colors. in kid as
well as In satin. Their introduction is
said to be due to the fact that the
large number of French women who
are in this country are exploiting them
across the footlights and at dances.
They are readily acceptable by women,
who. having narrow heels, are con-
~ having their low shoes slip at the
heel when they walk and dance.
And it really seems as if shoemakers
had only just begun to realize that
there is quite a number of small-heeled
women in the population for whom the
,,snai iarxs-heeled boot or shoe was a
source Of much discomfort. In fact,

In some of the cake batter you may

If you wish to add raisins see that the
raisins are seeded and cut into small
pieces and mixed with part of the flour

where the raisins sink in baking.
The cakes should be allowed to cool

from confectioner's sugar should be
prepared. To part of this choco-
late mixture can be added, to another
part q little red coloring material
