STA Into Making Peace.
Thousands of Tons of Grain at
Odessa Big Prize.

Amsterdam, August 4.-The Austro-
Germans are making their desperate
attempt to force peace with Russia.
Developing for days, their strategy
is now evident Their armies are be-
ing sent forward in a tremendous eff
fort to drive a wedge thru Russia to
the great Black sea port of Odessa,
where thousands of tons OF grain are
stored.
They are attempting to cut off Rus
sia's granary-the section back of
Odessa-from the hungry population
of the north. BY a great blow they
hope to bring the republic to its knees.
Czernowitz has fallen to the Austro-
Hungarians and Russia admits that
Kimpolung has been evacuated. There
seems to be no end to the retreat of
the Russian armies on his entire
front, altho all dispatches agree that
morale is rapidly being restored to the
ranks.
Much Talk of Peace.

make their object evident, talk of
peace is heard. 1t comes anofficially

effect that Russia and Austria are
nearing an understanding. The under
standing is declared to be for Austria
to keep her hands off the Polish prob

Our Wednesday Baking.

To make food so economical that
1t lacks in nOurishment or palatab,l-
ity is foolish, for why prepare food
at all If it Is going to be mere imi-
tation of the real thing? On the
other hand, it is not necessary to use
expensive and rich recipes at all times
for our regular baking day.
Here are few rules which are both
economical and good-a combination
not always found:

melted butter. 1-2 cups Of loppered
milk, rounded teaspoonful Of soda,
1-2 saltspoon of nutmeg

the eggs separately. Mix the yolks
soda in tablespoonful of boiling wa
ter. Add to the sour milk. Turn
into the butter and egg mixture, add
pinch Of salt and the nutmeg. Fold
in the beaten whites. Use bread flour
enough to mix soft. Roll out, cut
and fry as usual.
Never-Fail Waffles.
Two cups sifted flour, 1 teaspoonful
of soda, 1.1-2 tablespoonfuls melted
butter. egg, well beaten, cups sour

Moisten the dry ingredients with lit
tie cold water and add to the hot

ture over this and return to the fire

improved by the addition of half cup

Poet Tells what Americans
Have Done and are Do

vice-Many Notable
Things are Done.

London. Feb. John Masef1eld in
letter to The Daily Chronicle sup
porting the plea for an Anglo-Ameri-
can entente made in a series of arti-
cles published in that paper, gives an
account Of what America has done
and is doing in the cause of the allies.
He says:
ut is sometimes said, especially bv
Americans in the belligerent coun-
tries. that America should have en-
tered the war upon the side of the
allies. but. this course, though It NAV
seem natural to many here now in
favor OF war, must seem less obvious
four, five, or even six thousand miles
away across an ocean and a conti-
nent. At those great distances from
any part of the war the mind of a
nation as whole cannot grasp war,
and the passion Of nation as a whole
cannot be reused by it. Besides this.
the tradition of the nation. always a
strong thing in a young community,
Is against all ENHANCEMENT in Euro
pean affairs.
But though America has not en-
tered the war. (and should we enter
war II, say. united South America
suddenly ignored the Monroe doc.
trine, tore up all existing treaties, and
overwhelmed Colombia with fire and
rape?) the most thoughtful and feel
ing Of her people have helped our
cause with persistent largeness OF
generous effort"
He then mentions American relief
work in Belgium and Serbia, and the
efforts on behalf of British prisoners
Of war. and points out that SONS
thousands of Americans are serving
in Canadian regiments. while others
have enlisted in the British army and
many have Joined the French foreign
legion, among them the poet, Alan
