Spread the Meat Flavor

Spread the Meat Flavor
Spread the meat flavor over other
foods and so economize on the guam
tity of meat consumed, says the
United States department of agricul-
ture. Here is one way to spread the
flavor.
Meat Stew with Dumplings
Make a stew from 4 cheap cut of
meat cut into small pieces. potatoes,
and such other vegetables rs are de
sired Thicken with a little flour di,
luted with cold water. Serve with
dumplings made as follows:
Mix and sift one cup of flour, two
teaspoonsful of baking powder and
one.fourth teaspoonful of salt. Work
in with the fingers one teaspoonful OF
butter; add gradually one.third of q
cup of milk or a little more if needed
Roll out one-half inch thick and cut
with biscuit cutter or in square
pieces. The dumplings may be steam
ed, baked like biscuits, or cooked with
the stew. In the latter case remove
enough liquid to permit the dough tC

MINISTER PUTS BLAME
FOR WAR ON NlETZSCHE

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. July 14.-To
the German philosopher Nietzsche and
to the noted historian Treitschke must
be attributed. TO great extent. the
causes of the world war.
This is the opinion OF the Rev.
David Thomas, who is spreading
broadcast throughout the state and
nation fervent plea to the loyal
Americans of German birth or descent
TO save themselves and their children
of the present and coming genera
tion from social and racial ostracism
such as the Jews have suffered for
nineteen centuries.
I'VE are today at war with the
greatest military power the world
has ever known. II knows no JUS
tice, no right save the right that
might makes. This power has
stopped TO barbarities and cruelties
that Attila in his widest dreams had
never dreamed of. They do indeed
out-Hunt and Hun. whom their en-
peror bade them initiate.
Back of this cruel power lies a
philosophy and spiritual attitude
which make 1t possible. The father 8
OF this philosophy and spiritual at.
titude are Nietzsche and Treitschke
To NietZsche all the Christian virtues
were weaknesses. He scored dem.
ocracy and proclaimed that the mass.
es OF human being mus, serve the few
from whence will come the super.
rnan. This philosophy drives out the
gentler virtues and exalts those that
make for military strength. The

KRUPP ORGAN WARNS
OF BRlTAlN'S STRENGTH

NEW YORK, July 14.-The Rhein-
ische Westfalische Zeitung, chief or
gan Of the Krupps. in series OF ar
ticles on the war situation, warns Ger
mans not to be too optimistic regard
ing the future, and great stress is laid
upon the strength OF the British EN-
pire and It's worldwide dominions.
The writer takes DIR. Won Bethmann-
Hollweg to task for his frequent re.
ferences to the war map in talking of
the present situation of the belliger.
ents. The paper continues:
England, which at the beginning
Of the war was SO foolishly and dan.
gerously underestimated, has, during
this struggle. attained military and
political strength which has almost
reduced to silence those prattlers who

age, the land without conscription.
has shown herself as nation which
still rules the world, and to drive
back which. in order that we may
live. still requires all our strength.
"In contemplation OF the terrible
battles in Europe, and in the eager
examination of our European wal
map. we have forgotten the map oi
the world, and it is high time thai
we look at that. While England il
our immediate neighborhood remains
on the defensive. she is yet strong
enough in other parts of the worlt
TO develop a remarkable offensive"
The article then goes on to review
British imperial history, and in the
review Prince Bulow. the formel
German minister OF foreign affairs
is severely handled for not having
recignized at the time of the Jane
son raid how serious the fall of III,
Boer republics would be for German
colonial hopes. The writer asks:
What trend would this world wa
have taken had there still been in
dependent Boer States which will
about $4,000 men could have helped
out German troops in Southwest anC
East Africa?"
The writer then traces the deter
mined and sustained action whereof.
England throughout the years ha
marched toward the goal of Africai
empire and an Alfred route acros
the African continent. and then pre-
ceeds to point OFT the great impor
ance to Germany of Southwest Africa

Another article of the series deal
with Great Britain's enormous en

the writer, recognizing how wide
the English language is spoken ther

not been destroying SO many boats.
They have not been getting so many
boats, it is true, but there is very
good reason for that.
Previously the ships ran on GER
tain old-established lines of travel.
All the submarine had to do was to
lay along side this course, and it was
pretty sure to get the vessels accus-
toned to make those courses. But
now the ships are scattered. They do
not approach the coast line from any
established course; they go in all sorts
of directions. Consequently, there is
not the same opportunity to get them
and that simply means that it re-
quires more submarines to cover the
area.
1.-THE papers have been announcing
the fact that the shipping loss is only
100000 tons a month and are crow
ing over the fact that to keep it down
to such an amount is great feat.
Now, we have not 10000 tons of
American ships engaged in the trans

els 1t possible to do so?"
"Of course it is possible" he said,
taking another whiff of his cigar, and
with the air and voice of man who
was sure of what he was saying and
more confident in the safety of the
submarine than surface merchant
man. IT have been advocating that
ever since the Deutschland came over
here and before.
THAT was the answer, but it takes
a long time for people to grasp it. It
took Is years to make the military
authorities realize that the submarine
was Of good value as a military weap-
on, and am concerned that that fact
may cost us a good deal of money and
the valuable lives of many of our citi-
zens. The loss Of money these days
