Transports Attacked Twice.

"The transports bearing our
troops were twice attacked by Ger
man submarines on the way across.
On both occasions the U-boats were
beaten off with every appearance OF
loss. One was certainly sunk, and
there is reason to believe that the ac'
curate fire of our gunners sent others
TO the bottom.
"For purpose of convenience, the
expedition was divided into contln-
gents. each contingent including
troop ships and a naval escort de-
signed to keep off such German raid
ers as might be met.
IAN ocean rendezvous had also
been arranged with the American de-
stroyers now operating in European
waters, in order that the passage OF
the danger zone might be attended
by every possible protection.
"The first attack took place at
~. ~ OH tHc ul6nt VI JuhC 60 " ~
gives il peculiar and disturbing sig
nificance is that our ships were set
upon at a point well this side of the
rendezvous, and in that part of the
Atlantic presumably free from sub
marines.
"The attack was made in force. al
though the night made impossible
any exact count of the U-boats gath
cred for what they deemed slaugh-
ter.
Submarines Were Scattered
The high seas convoy, circling
with their searchlights. soon dis
persed the U-boats as shown by the
fact that the discharge of torpedoes
became increasingly scattered and
inaccurate. 1t is not known how
many torpeodoes were launched, but
five were counted as they sped by
bow and stern.
"A second attack was launched a
few days later against another con
tingent. The point Of assault was
beyond the rendezvous. and our de
stroyers were sailing as a screen

KAISER YIELDS TO DEMAND.

It is announced that in order to re-
move all exuses of the Entente Allies
for refusing to send representatives to a
pea1e conference, the kaiser is willing to
yield to the demand of the allies and send
his terms of peace before hand
The Central Powers, it is stated, are
willing to permit a confidential ex-
change of broad tentative terms through
President Wilson, should it become nee
essary to do so. Of course, the import
ant communications between the author
tiles on all sides are not divulged, and
only such matter as leaks out in trans
mission that reaches the public, but such
things a sare stated above are public
ooerty and trustworthy.
Enough is known to establish the act
that the Entente Allies are left without
excuse for refusing to be represented IN
peace conference and accept peace
upon reasonable terms. They assume
the full responsibility of continuing the
var, with all of its dire results.-Ruston

READ ADS AND SAVE MONEY.

Never was there time in the
history Of the country, when the,
people were as constant and in
veterate readers Of newspapers ,'as
they are today. and this is ,eSpec-
tally so in the matter of.es news
paper advertising. PGoplel who
a few years ago, would hardly
look at a newspaper, now digest
every word oft, and they do it
with a purpose. The human mind
is broadening and expanding, and
becoming more liberal. 1t de-
mands food and particularly that
class Of food that conserves the
financial interests Of the reader.
This demand is satisfied in pc
rusal of newspaper advertising,
provided quick action is taken to
grasp the money-saving oppor-
tunities ocered. The well worded
advertisement appeals to every
y ell balanced mind. It points
the way to economy, and the wise
business man advertises accord

With many people taking cold is a
habit, but fortunately one that is easily
broken. Take cold sponge bath every
morning when you first get out of bed
not ice cold, but temperature of about

dow up. Do this and you will seldom
take cold. When you do take cold take

RECIPES.

Southern Batter Cakes: Even bet ter than "a stack of blues" the south ern man likes to see a stack of beau tifully Drowned, smoking hot batter cakes besides his morning coffee. What the thick. oozy, forid grIddle cake is to the northern breakfast ta- b1e. the thin. delicicate, luscious little batter cake is to the southern break fast table. where it is sometimes eat en with the morning eggs and bacon. Sometimes it Is eaten as an after breakfast de1icacy with honey or "goI- den syrup" or New Orleans molasses. A good old recipe for batter cakes fol- lows: One pint of milk, two eggs, one half pint sifted cornmeal (white), one pinch of salt. Make batter, not too thin, of the milk and meal Add the eggs, thoroughly beaten. and the salt. Drop the cakes on a hot griddle and bake till both sides are a delicate brown. Serve smoking hot.
 Maearoni and Cheese: One-third package macaroni, one and one-half pints of milk and -one-half pint water, ore-half cup grated cheese, butter size of walnut, four level tablespoons of flour. salt to taste. Make white sauce of milk. butter, flour and salt. When partly cooked, stir in grated cheese and finish cooking, stirring well to melt cheese. Ccok macaroni in boil ing water until tender. Stir cooked macaroni into hot sauce and bake in slow oven about thirty minutes.

one cup chopped sweet red pepper to one gallon of tomatoes. Cook until tender Put through a sieve and add mixture of one-third salt and two- thirds sugar in proportion of one tea spoon to each quart of the mixture. Cook until the consistency of the ket- chup, stirring constantly. Pack hot into sterilized jars or bott1e&. Adjust rubber and cap; place tho contafner or false bottom in g. vessel of water suffi ciently deep to reach almost to their tops Ard allow to remain at a boiling temperature for 25 minutes. Remove jars from the water bath and tighten the lids immediately.
 Water used for home canning should be pure, soft and as free from sedt- nlent and excessive mineral content as possible. Clear drinking water is generally usable. Softenihg, harden ing or discoloration of vegetables be- cause of the character of the water is an exception to the rule in home can- ming.
 Most vegetables as well as meats are injured in flavor and quality by an excessive use of salt for seasoning in the canning process. A little salt is very palatable, and it's use should be encouraged. but it is better to add no salt in canning than to use too much. It can be added to suit the taste when canned goods are served.

A GOOD MOVE.

One of the wisest things that the longshoremen in and about New York ever did. was to submit their griev- ances to arbitration aFd thereby stop the increasing congestion that was being caused by their strike. It re- uuired several days to make them appreciate the effects of their inac- tivity and what it meant to the coun- try to cause such stagnatioG as was resulting from their refusal to work
 That a continuance in their action was likely to result in government in- reference and possibly in the resort to conscription in order to prevent Inc Interruption Of the trade through tho port of New York may have had its influence. but as a matter of fact there was no reason. why the trouble should not be submitted to arbitra- tion- There was nothing in the dis pute which could not be settled in such a manner and settled fairly for all concerned. So long as the strike was continued there was little chance Tor an adjustment in accordance with the facts. Yet that is the proper way and the one which will now be fol- lowed. It is fortunate therefore that the men have reached this conclusion but equally so that they have done SO at an early date both for their own good in preventing a further loss of wages and for the good of the nation that commerce may be no longer i'm peded for that reason. It may be a vain hope but it will show magnffi = cent progress in the world Of labor when the adjustment of all such trou- kies can be depended upon from the rtart through just such an avenue.

FIND OUT WHY HE CRIES.

To discover the obscure pain in ba- by's ear is not always a simple mat ter, even for the alert and observant specialist. True enough, the little hands find their way at times to the neighbofhood of the sensitive area, but this is by no means as common a sig hal of earache as one might expect. It Is only when the baby's cries, as well as the presence of fever, cannot be laid to other portions of the in- fant's anatomy, that the ear falls un, der suspicion. Then the nurse or parent. by gently pressing in front. over and behind the bahy's ear will discover tender point by the increas- ed intensity of the chfld's cries, or by some other overt act of pain. Once convinced that the trouble Is in the
 ear, temporafy expedients of relief - and comfort should be followed as soon as possible by consulting with the fanf ly doctor. Iu this way much subse- quent disturbance of bearing may be prevented

NEED MORE VkesELs.

The claim is beins made that inas- much as there is an unprecedented congestion on the failroAds of the country the demands for tr4nsporta- tion being greater than the facilities available can handle, greater attention ought to be given to the -developpaent of. the inland waterways.
 There can be little question but what the waterways Along the Atlantic coast are of. great value to tidewater and other shipping; there can be no doubt but what there is a big oppor- trnity through such canals, rivers and sounds as are made suitable Cor coast- wise trade to give valuable assistance 70 the transportation problem, but it is a question, whether millions which are SO necessary in other directions should be devoted tosthfs development at the present time.
 The fact of the matter is. that water transportation through many of the protected arms Of the sea is not what it should be. It is costing more to get coal by barge than by rail at tide water points. when if the fleet of coal carrying vessels was doing all that was possible iii this particular the needs Of New England in this direc- tion could be better served than they are It is thus useless to spend a lot Of money developing the waterways until sufficient vessels for using them can be. provided There Is crying need for increasing our, coasting veg sels of all kinds and when that is ac compiished | big load can be removed from the railroads. but theeopening up of the waterways without having any vessels will not do it.

will not be difnkult. The change may even be healthful and enjoyable. There is corn meal. which makes excellent dishes. Corn meal mush, johnny cake, and fried mush were once sta- pie articles of diet throughout all this part of the United States. Most tasteful and pleasurable these items were. They have gone into disuse largely through the failure of the mer- cantile community to promote the sale of meal. Most of the time it has been easier and more profitable to sell flour. Potatoes will be very plen- tiful. It is no trick at all to substi- tute a potato or two for a slice of bread The wheat is needed abroad America has many other things to eat and can spare the wheat.-Bridgepor Farmer

AN EVE OPEN ER.

While there were reasons to believe that the representatives of Germany in this country were exceeding their isats and working against the neu- trality of this country for a long time before there was . severance of diplo-
 rnatic relations.S the disclosures which
 rave just been made by the state de- partment relative to such operations
 make it evident that the govkrnment
 was well in touch with what was go-
 ing on.
 The dismissal of certain attaehes 3 and even the handing of passports to Count Bernstorn did, not put an end to the clever intrigue that was under way. There were others in our midst who were equally dangerous. This was because some of them were not openly suspected and because others were carefully covering their tracks. If anything was necessary to convince this nation of the necessity of striking this element. and striking it hard. it was provided in the disclosures which have just been made. Bernstorff had an organization in this country on which he could depend to set his work done, to bring an. inften0e to bear upon our congress and to operate for the benefit of Germany. And when in his message he asked for $5e.n06 with which to continue this work it is made apparent that he controlled those who were willing to work cheap
 There has been a crying need for the roofing out Of all the spies, the shutting to them of all means of com munieation with the enemy and the hIockinE of the advantages which they have been enjoying, but new emphasis is added to it by the disclosures which .he, state department have just made. They ought to open tle-eyes of some people.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

It is an impressive statement which has been made by the Yale authorities with regard to the part the institution is taking in supporting the govern ment in it's prosecution of the war. Not only have elaborate plans been made for instruction in field artillery among the undergraduates but the teaching force has responded superbly to the governments call for assistance in va rious fields of research work. One looks in vain for a suggestion of he brown study in it all. We encounter rather the passion of the workshop. The counry haa prepared itself for the changes which will follow the end ing of the war and we have no doubt the Yale management realize that the university itself will never be again what it has been in it's outlook upon life and its obligation to the youth of
