SWITZERLAND DIsTRUsTFUL

Whether Germany actually plans an invasion of it's territory or not, Switz- erland is aipprehensive. It has been promised that nothing of the kind will take place, that its neutrality will be fully respected and that no attempt will be made to cross its line in or der to strike at the allies.
 But Switzerland is taking no chances. It knows what happened to Belgium and Luxemburg under sin1i- lar conditions. It has seen a treaty, which was so1emnIy enacted, totally disregarded and made a scrap of pa per. It has witnessed the crossing of Luxemburg and Belgium, the destruc- ton of the property of the latter when it attempted to resist and the killing of it's men, women and children. It has been conscious of the horrible conditions which have followed such actions and the necessity of appeal ing to the world for the sustenance of those who have been left fatherless, motherless and-child1ess. It has seen the effects of the iron hand of the op- pressor, the unjust exaction of heavy taxes and the demoralization of a people who had been given to believe that they would mot be disturbed in their neutrality, all for the purpose of bringing about the accomplishment of selfish purposes. And to cap the eli max it has seen the effects of the de- portation plans of the invaders who have continued to make and break promises.
 Switzerland doesn't want anything of the kind and it cannot be blamed. When it discovers activities which in dicate that the promises which have been made to Switzerland are to be disregarded it is but natural that, it should be distrustfu1 and make pre- parations to resist any violation of it's neutrality. Switzerland apparent Iy.thinks that word to the wise is sufficient,

HOW TO ROAST PORK.

When roasting a loin of pork cut up by the butcher, have the ribs cracked apart from the outside, so that the heat can penetrate, or it will be diff
 icult to cook a large roast thorough ly without drying up the inner DOT tions. If roasted in the ordinary drip pan 1t will require frequent basting with the fat. Use not water to baste pork. If you use a double roaster, made especially for beef, tilt the lid a, little to throw it's condensing and dripping on the pork. Some cooks rub salt and pepper all over a pork roast before putting it in the pan. Others, especially in the South add a little syrupy water, and still others use only the pepper, adding the salt when the meat is done. When the roast is done take from the pan, put on a hot plate and set the pa on top of the sove. Make a pan gravy by heating the fat dusting in flour and when brown ading sufficient water to make the desired consistency,

fronts and even in withdrawing them
 when strategic retreat became nec- essary, but it is not solely the get ting of it's army with the supplies here there and yon which has fur nished all the bother. for while such roads as it possesses are being util- ized for such purposes they are re- stricted in the handling of the usual volume of trade. It has been badly cramped for the facilities to move its great grain supply aside from the fact that most of its ports are warm weather outlets and therefore greatly congested with war business.
 Russia and Siberia produce much grain. Other countries have experi- enced a serious shortage in this com modity, but the supply in Siberia is large and only a small part of it has been converted into flour. It has shipped less instead of more grain since the war broke out and the req son for 1t Is that the railroads are so congested with war supplies that the grain shipments have to take a back seat. Siberia has millions of bushels of grain for export but no railroads to carry i& With such a state of af- fairs it is fully apparent why in creased attention to improved railroad facilities is being given in that coun- try. Russia has had a most profit able lesson in the value of railroads.

eRAYsoN,s SELECTION.

Whether or not the president an ticipated criticism for the course which he pursued in the selection of the last list of rear admirals, recently announced, he has received it and there appears to be good reason for it. The efficiency of the navy or any other department may depend upon the selection of the best men for the respective offices, and it is well known that such are not always secured by the hard and fast rule of seniority, for 1t is even possible by such a method that those who would be of the most value to the department would be kept in a subordinate position during the pc riod of their greatest usefulness, but when the White House physician, Dr. c. T. Grayson, a passed assistant sur geon, holding the rank of lieutenant is jumped to the rank and pay of a rear admiral for service as medical director of the navy over 137 who stood ahead of him on the list, it points very strongly to favoritism of a character which ought not to pre- vail in connection with such an of flee.
 Dr. Grayson has undoubtedly been a faithful guardian of the presidents health but those who stood ahead of him on the list may have been equal 1y faithful in the performance of their duties which were less conspicuous To ignore that does not contribute to the betterment of the navy. It is in conceivable that those 1s7 are not capable of the efficient performance of the duties which he will take up, but rather is the promotion regarded as the settlement of a personal debt It marks a change in the selection of rear admirals which does not bode well for the navy.

PRETTY PETTIcoATS.

Some fancy net and lace designs in petticoats are elaborately trimmed with vines of tiny roses and ribbon and are very wide, being four to five even six yards in width.
 A new fad shows the petticoat trim med with sprigs of paradise feathers in place of the ordinary silk fringe. The paradise fronds are interspersed with tiny flowers that trim a series of pleated f1ounces. The petticoat itself is of silk mousseline.
 A new petticoat is made of two shades of chiffon. The arrangement suggests two separate garments hung from one belt. There are two founces that extend to the hips, so that there Is no chance of a thickening of the hip line by a super1uous layer of even so sheer a fabric as chiffon.
 Green, purple, wistaria, Copenhagen, coral, rose, gold, Belgian blue, etc., are all good petticoat colors. Dark co1ors are worn with plain tailored suits, but are frequently bound or piped with a bright color. Braces are added to some petticoats. The best grade of mercerized petticoats have similar stripe and floral patterns to those of silk and are made up in as great a variety of patterns

TREE PLANTING.
Directions Given by Commissioner
 Ward of New York.

The following directions for tree planting given by Park Commissioner Ward of New York may prove help ful.
 Early Spring and Fall are the two periods when planting can be done successfully. It is important, how ever, to start preparations in advance. Do not wait until the best trees are sold out but order your trees at once.''
 After you get the trees, this is what should be done:
 Dig the hole in accordance with specifications the park department will supply. Replace the old impov- erished soil with rich, mellow loam. See that the roots of the trees are protected and kept moist from the very minute they arrive until they are placed in the soil. Before placing the trees in the pit the roots should be examined, all bruised roots cut off smoothly, and the ends covered with coal tar. The tree should then be set in the hole at the same depth as it stood in the nursery. The roots should be carefully spread out and the soil worked in tightly among the root let's More good soil should then be added and stamped, and before the last layer is filled in thoroughly wa tered. The last layer should remain loose.
 During the first season the tree should be watered and cultivated at least three times a week, especially on hot summer days"

PRISONERS OF WAR.

By one who has witnessed the op- erations of the German raider it is declared that it's commander is scrup- ulousiy observing all the rights of merchantmen, that the lives of those aboard the vessels which are seized or sunk are being protected and that in all particularly the operations are being carried on under the rules of war, even to the display of the Ger man flag before a vessel is halted or attacked.
 That may or may not be so. It is possible that there has been such an observance insofar as the speaker has been able to judge. but when 1t is announced that several hundred of those found aboard merchantmen have been taken to Germany as pris- oners of war, a different view of the affair is presented.
 This state of affairs causes this country to take notice for there are a number of Americans who were aboard the lost ships, and 1t is but natural that it should want to know whether any of them are being held es prisoners of war. and if they are, just how 1t came about.
 It has been held by this country that vessels have a right to carry a gun for defense purposes, but such equipment does not make it a war ship and unless those who were taken came from warship it is impossible to consider them prisoners of war, whether they happen to be Ameri- cans or not The action therefore promises to open up again the ques- ton of armed merchantmen, with this country insisting upon the release of any of its subjects who may have been members of the crews of the freighters which the raider captured or sank

AMERICANS IN TURKEY.

The information which comes from Syria by way of Rome to the effect that 51O, 900 people have died there from starvation, makes 1t plain that the appeals which have been made for the sending of relief to those peo- pie have not been overdrawn. Rather does it add emphasis to the petitions which have been sent forth to the world for it is not indicated that there has been any improvement or that there is likely to be in the treatment which is being accorded the Syrians by the Turks.
 At the same time new attention is directed to the plight which the Amer jeans in that country find themselves in. It was only a short time ago that Turkey refused to permit the depar- ture of 800 subjects of the United States, but this order was changed when this country refused to approve the ambassador who had been picked by Turkey to represent it at Wash ington It was agreed that after a certain delay these Americans could leave, but that they must remain for a stated period in order that any in formation which they might possess would be of no value to the enemy when divulged.
 But the calbled advice from our am bassador at Constantinople is that there are now three times as many subjects of this country who want to get away from the terrible condi- tions in Syria. Such being the case this country should bring to bear ev- cry bit of influence and power it possesses to accomplish their release. We may be powerless to prevent the horrible treatment which is being ac=

RESTAURANT HATS.

The English woman has always de- lighted to go bareheaded after dark, but the French woman and the Amer ican woman have always preferred to wear hat, even with a decollete frock at restaurants and other semipub1ic places in the evening. This year some of the milliners are specializing on what they call restaurant hats, de- signed especially to wear with deco1- lete frocks. They are, naturally, de- cidedly dainty-of gauzy, lacy mate ria1s-and there are tremendous pos similities ire them for beauty.
