GERMANS THANKFUL NOT BLESSED WITH
 U. s. LIBERTIES.
Call Peace Leak "WashingtOn' s Scandal and Abuse Our
 Institutions.

The Leipsic Neuste Nachrichten ln on the speculation on the New York Stock exchange at the time of the issuance of President Wilson's note, under the heading of The Wash lngton Scandal" says
 What interests us most in the scan dal. so characteristic of American adroitness in making dollars out of a horrible slaughter by rustling peace palms, is the searchlight falling on national institutions and administra- tion. The war shows anew what peace taught to US a hundred times. Jupiter Mammon is the real ruler of these states which praise to us stay at home Germans their free institutions and which so far as they are linked with our enemies talk to us of their aims 10 liberate us from militarism and mon archy and offer to bless us with their patented liberties.
 Germany declines with thanks the offer to improve us. Tho there may be many respects in which we need re- forms and are susceptible of improve ment. the inner purity and unassaila- bility of our monarchial government raise it high above the pseudo demo- cratic-republican production and cause IS to thank God that we remain pro tected from this all too-western prog regg."

MINERAL MEAT" IS
 LATEST DISCOVERY,

Science has been hurTying to the rescue Along sanitary. military and mechanical lines. it has made marvel ous progress of late years. In the culinary field. however, it has always left much TO be desired But now comes Q Philadelphia chemist and of- fers mankind q mineral soup that is pronounced fully as nutritious as the finest beef extract. He told the Frank lin institute how the substitute is pre- pared says the Cleveland Plain Deal CT
 II is decidedly peculiar recipe and one that might well make the ordinary cook book shudder. You take portions Of sodium phosphate and calcium car bOnale and ammonium sulphate, add q little sugar and Q small amount Of yeast These ingredients are mixed and set away until reaction by autoly- sis ensues, and Q brown sticky paste has all the nutrive qualities of com mercial bee I extract Is produced.
 According 10 the chemist. it is the yeast that transforms the inorganic minerals into the pronounced organic meat substitute The yeast contains fermentation agents called enzymes. which are responsible for the altera- tion. and produce the food qualities from the chemicals. There were doubters about the table at the Franklin institute. They insisted upon tasting the "stone soup" and pronounced it good They even de clared that it was fully equal in nu- triton and appearance to the market variety. and each Of the samplers pronounced the odor remarkably beenike.
 Incidentally the chemist announced that the cost Of stone soup" he called il synthetic meat, is less than that from or or sheep-which, Of course was 70 be expected.
 HoweTer fl can be assumed that even if the substitute is cheaper and equally nutritious. it will be lore time before il takes the place Of scrap pie on the Philadelphia dinner plate. An authority on finance has been Investigating American miIlionaires and finds that all except twenty start cd life as poor boys. and all except for. } ty have contributed largely to their communities. but that only one rich mans son in seventeen dies rich.

UNCLE SAM'S NEW
 HOSPITAL SHIP
The Firt of Its Kind To Be Built
 In The World.

Within a year or so there will be added to the United States navy q new hospital ship, the first of it's kind to be built in the world. The American hospital ship will differ from all others, in that it was planned and designed fer floating hospital from the very beginning, whereas all those now in the various navies of the world were originally intended for transports or dispatch boats, or, in some cases, for ocean liners.
 The United States. with navy rank ing fourth among the sea fighters of the world, says Popular Mechanics, has but two hospital ships-one Q fair ly well-equipped vessel now serving with the Atlantic fleet, the other too aged and frail to be removed from it's present anchorage in Philiipfne waters. Congress, however, has az reed to appropriate s2,500,0OO for the construction of big first-class hos pitaI ship, to be built at an American navy yard, according to plans and specifications laid down by the high est authorities in shipbuilding and hos pital construction.
 The building of the ship has com menced, and it is anticipated that the new craft will be launched late in 1917 or early in the following year. The vessel will be 46O feet in length and 60 feet wide, giving her an ordin- ary capacity of 300 patients, or, in an emergency, 300 may be accommodated. Aset of stabflizers, designed 10 min, imize as far as possible the rolling o1 the ship, will be included in her con- struction, and it is predicted that the effect of these will be such that the major operations can be performed even in comparatively high sea. As compared with this new hospital ship. with it's electrical devices and it's scientific theraputic equipment, ths hospital ships which have been refittet
 for the purpose and are still but make.
 shifts, appear almost medieval in con
 struction. The United States nayy'i
 floating hospital will not only be thu
 last word fin vessels in it's class. bu l il will be a worthy progenitor Of spec
 tally designed hospital craft, whicl
 other nations of the world will undoEb
