PEACE TERMS oF VITAL ISSUE

The mass of conducting reports, ru- mors and statements emanating from Germany within the past few weeks disclose clearly that the question of peace terms has become the chief po- liucal issue in the beleagured land of the Kaiser and also that 1t is an issue demanding early settlement by the authorities If they wish to avoid un- pleasant difficulties.
 However much the German over lords may strive to conceal the actual tenscness of the situation by means of a skillfu juggling of the statements allowed to drift to the outside world drought the censor, enough of fact can be gleamed from the hcterogen- ous mass of incohercncies and con- tradictions to enable one to under stand that the people are daily be- coming more lnsistent that definite eff fort be made to relieve the country
 
 which 1t has been plunged for three long and blood stained years. Fur themore it is clear that the masses are fast reaching that state of mind where they are not only demanding that some action be taken toward se- curing surcease from the war weary years but are also approaching dan gerously close to that stage of deter mined insistence which may easily be provoked into open rebellion.
 The best proof that matters are in a decidedly bad way is presented in the obvious inclination of the Kaiser toward playing politics with his own people, employing all the tricks of the political juggler to confuse the public mind and stave off the final issue as lang as possible, probably with the fatuous hope that some lucky stroke of arms may avert the impending de- nouement.
 The recent evasive statements of the Chancellor in reply to the peace statement demands of the Reichstag majority can be taken m no other sense than as deliberately calculated to gain time until the close of the session would still the

united clamors of the peace statement advocates and give the government a breathing spell in which to devise new of its aims.
 The effort to gam time has been the keynote of the government attitude throughout the session and one can hardly escape the conviction, that the Kaiser is being driven to close quart CTS if he is thus forced to subordinate his own will and judgemnt to the exigencies of domestic policies.

Russians Depleted dAgami

Overwhelmed By Teutons But
Show Spirit OF Loyalty

Apparently the turn in the tide
Of retreat by the Russians in East
Galicia is beginning. On several Sec
tors the loyal troops have halted and
now are facing the Austro Germans
and offering resistance As best they
can with their badly depleted forces.
Although the stands they have
made have as yet been unsuccessful
in holding back to any great extent
the numerically superior Austro-
German armies, they serve to show
that the spirit of loyalty is still alive
in many of the men of General

is not their purpose to surrender
more terrain without a contest.

EARLY BUILDING METHODS RE.
VEALED BY REPAIR OF HIS
TORlC NEW ORLEANS Gus,
ToMHoUSE.

Workmen delving into the recess
es Of the foundation and roof Of the
ancient customhouse at New Orleans
have just uncovered some very in
teresting and surprising facts con-
corning the queer but thorough me-
thods of early building operations in
the South.
How . massive structure erected
on planks and logs in the marshy soil
Of New Orleans could stand for al
most three-quarters Of a century
without crack or break of any
character, and remain today as SUBJ
stantial as when it was built, is prov
ing marvel to modern engineering
experts.
This enormous gray building oc-
cupies an entire block. On the site
where it rests there stood during the
early history of this city some kind
OF customhouse. It is worthy of
note, too, that this block was then
situated almost on the bank of the
Mississippi River. Ever since then
the river has been busily engaged in
building up the "batture" with silt.
taken from other points, and the
"bature" has grown in width from
year to year until the building to-
day stands full 200 yards away
from the river.
Once Site Of Fort 81. Louis
The first custonhouse was burned
in the great fire of4l788, and then
Governor Miro later swept away
everything that was on the site, and
built Fort st. Louis there, covering
the entire block.
When, in their turn, the Ameri-
cans took charge, they had no use
for forts, 30 they desaclished Fort
st Louis and built briek co.rt-
house in the middle Of the block. A
bsthef stood alongside.
n 1SlS both Of these were re-
moved; the aits, which had been
ceded TO the United States. vas
chosen for the customhouse, and the
work Of building began.

years before the interior Of the
was approximately finished. |
General Beauregard had technical |
supervision of the building-he was

A proposition, which II accepted by
the United States Government, may
prove Of immense value to the Gull
coast, in the future building Of steel
vessels was made public today from
Beaumont, Texas, which is nc
doubt Of great interest to the entire
shipbuilding gulf coast, especially

forward to steel shipbuilding. Ac-
cording to advices, propositions have

looking to extensive use Of East
Texas ores in manufacturing Of
plates in the government ship con-
struction program which Col.
Featherstone says will save the gov
eminent from fifty to one hundred
million dollars based upon the
figures furnished by the Eastern
manufacturers.
Two propositions are j submitted,
one that the government take the
raw material, the other that the
Texas Steel Company deliver the
manufactured products, the latter
being based upon a six-year contract
necessary in order to justify expen-
diture for plant enlargement.
Ten million tons Of Texas ore are
offered to the government in the

THREE WAYS TO DRY

Simplest form OF food con5erva.
ticn, sun drying, is to place rnpes o1
food on sheets Of paper or musiin
and expose them to sun, says today.
bulletin from the National Emer.
eency Food Garden Commission OF
Washington, which is co-otsEatiAe
with The Morgan City Rsview in 1
|natioI wide campaign q. sase food.
At al times care should Be t6kss "a
|protect the product from noisture,
and along toward evening The M
terial should Be taken indoors. The
food should be carefully covered
with cheesecioth to protect from in
sects. Once Or twice q day the ma
terial should be turned and the dried
pieces removed. No exact time can
be given for drying but q little ex-
perience will soon make it easy to
determine when the products are
sufficiently dried. When first dried,
vegetable should be rather brittle
but not so dry as to snap or crackle
and fruit rather leathery and pliable.
Products will mold if not dried
enough.
In Drying by Artificial Heat,
cloth or wire trays may be suspend
ed over the range or dishes of food
may be placed in the oven, or spec
ially constructed Driers may be
mAde or purchased. In Oven Drying
the feod-stuffs may be placed on
diahes or wire screens in . slow oven
with the door partially opsn. For
Drying over stove, . single tray
or series of trays may be suspended
BY . wire, or specially constructed
Driers may be placed directly upon
the top Of the stove. In Drying by
this process, care should bs taken
that the temperature is not too
high.
Drying by Air Blast takes advan-
tase Of the Electric Fan or some
similar device for creating , current
Of air and directing it along . series
Of trays stacked one above the
other. The number Of trays il regu-
lated by the size Of the fan. A COM
bination of this method with Sun
Drying gives excellent results. Dry
ing by this process may be done in
twenty-four hours, or less, few
hours being sufficient in the case Of
some vegetable and fruits.
Before storing for the winter it IS
that dried material be
conditioned" by pouring from one
container to another daily for sever
el days. All moist pieces should be
returned to the Drier until cured.
Proper packing and storage is Of
great importance. Tin cans and
pasteboard boxes with tight fitting
covers, moisture proof paper bags
md similar containers may be used.
Small packages should be used so
hat the products may be consumed
quickly after opening. Seal all cans
md paper boxes with paraffin and
lie tops Of bags tightly. Store all
Dried products in cool place from
insect and vermin, and
abel all packages for convenience
