DEVICE TO SINK u-BoATs.
Lord Bcresford Says British Navy
Has Brilliant Plan.

Lord Beresford, the admiralty ex-
pert. in a speech in London, last Fri
day declared that the navy had de-
vised a brilliant plan to overcome
submarines. He gave it as his per-
sonal judgment, says a cable dispatch
to The New York Sun, that the plan
would succeed. Such an authority
Inspires especial confidence that the
crisis in the U-boat menace pres
emily will be past.
Lord Beresford did not intimate
what the plan is. but it is strongly
believed it concerns an American con-
tribution to the war. British publi-
cists have long maintained that Amer
ican inventiyeness could produce ef-
fective anti-shbmarine weapons, and
there are some reasons to believe that
Lord Beresford's statement reflected
confidence founded on a recent con-
ference between British and Ameri-
can naval authorities.
1t is now recognized that it is USE
less to fight U-boats by building ships
faster than they can be sunk. The
number of U-boats is increasing con-
stantly. because they are turned out
by standardized processes and the
| parts are made all over Germany, be-
ing assembled at certain naval bases.
The only protection lies in devising
| means to~destroy or render them in
effective. This is what Beresford
meant.
England's problem now is to live
through 1917 and until the harvest of
1918, for by that time the increased
domestic food production surely will
be equal to supporting the people, with
rigid economy. The Washington con-
ferences are thought to have devised
means to tide over this difficulty.
| In the meantime evidence piles ur
to show that Germany is making the
submarine campaign more efficient
All commanders of submarines are
taking photographs Of the vessels they
attack before and after the explosions
also of the crews Of the vessels sunk
especially the officers. This systemat.
ic campaign of photographing is prob.
ably useful in instructing reserves fol-
| submarine activity.
1t is also q part Of the plan to have
double crews aboard the submarin,
mine layers, one for actual operation
the other made up of recruits who ar,
getting their training under actual op
era-ing conditions.
Consular reports reveal that tn
submarines are adopting new tactic
In stalking merchant vessels an,
awaiting the most favorable opportu
nifty for torpedojrg them. In one cas-
it is known that the submarine fol
lowed a bark several hours. The Ger
mans are taking few chances of vast
ing torpedoes. If during a chase

FROGS LEGS.

TINE legs should be rinsed and
wiped dry with soft, clean cloth.
Epicures usually agree that the
best way to cook frogs legs IL to fry
them in deep fat. To 90 about this the
legs should first be left In boiling water.
to which has been added little salt
and lemon Juice for three or four min
utes. They should then be drained on .
cloth or piece Of porous paper and then
dipped In fritter batter and fried quick
ly in deep fat Some persons prefer to
have the frogs legs simply dipped In
milk or milk and egg before frying. but
the fritter batter gives them more crisp
ness and makes them look little moro
tempting.
The Creole way.-Here Is the Creole
way OF cooking frogs legx Place .
dozen legs la an eartaen dish with Q
sprinkling OF lemon Juice and allow
them to remain there covered Tor two
hours. Now place two ounces OF butter
in saucepan with little onion IL the

green pepper and cook gently for i've
minutes. Add the legs, cover the dish
and allow them to cook for few min
utes. Now add four sliced ripe toma-
toes and half q cupful Of mushrooms.
Place a cover OF the saucepan and al
low this to cook till the legs are tender.
For Invallds.--Although frogs legs
are counted among the most delectable
Of flesh foods, they are. unlike many
dainties, very wholesome and may be
served to invalids and convelescents
with impuity. The best way to pre-
pare them for the sick room would be
TO parboil them and then dip them In
milk and eggs aud fry them in deep
fat. Fried foods are not usually the
most wholesome, but by this method
there is no hard crust on the surface.
