SEES END OF WAR IN
TWO HUNDRED YEARS
Russian General Also Sees the End
Of Europe.

LONDON, May 1.-THE Petrograd
correspondent of the Evening Sun
describing General Dragomiroff, who
succeeds General Russky as com
mander of the Russian western front
declares he is one OF the most in
telIectuaI generals in the army.
He talks eagerly on philosophy
saws the correspondent, yet he is
one of the most popular OF the fight
ing men who have made a name Ior
themselves in the war. While in
command OF a certain section of the
front he heard that an attack had
broken down. He rode his horse
into the front line trenches, where
the men saluted him He told them
he wanted a better salute than a mere
wave Of the arm. He so encouraged
his men that they went forward and
attained their detectives, refusindG
the aid of any reserves.
Thought the war would last, General
tbourh the war would last, GeneT al
Dragmiroff said he thought 1t woIld
last 200 years, and proceeded to de
yeIop a theory proving that shorter
duration was quite impossible. He
ADMIRED that there would be inter
yaIs. when he was asked what the
end would be he replied: The end OF
Europe.

DISCRIMINATION in Germany

The news that filters through from
Germany contains such items as the
demand for the resignation of Zim-
hermann and Bethmann-Hollweg,
rumors of the elevation of Berns-
torff, discomfort with the conduct Of
the war, reaction against the ex-
IRENE demands Of Junkerism. in
sistence on constitutional reforms
without waiting for the end Of the
war, increasing boldness Of Socialist
criticism, and growing dismay at the
failure of German arms and strategy
on the western front.
Promises are made and broken
that the terms Of peace will shortly
be outlined, the imperial government
being in the dilemma Of confessing
too much by liberal terms and Of in
stigating revolt by claiming too
much. The duty Of America is to
prepare for q long and >arduous
struggle, yet the signs Of disorgani-
zation in Germany are not to be
overlooked. .--'.

Corn for the Allies

With wheat above three dollars a
bushel, the people Of the United
States will make more bread from
cornmeal. The people of the South
have an initial advantage in knowing
by long experience how to procure
good meal for cooking purposes and
then how to cook it. Its preparation
for the table takes on various forms,
rivaling the famous fifty-seven va
rieties Of another edible. There is
ash-cake and hoe-cake and corn pone,
egg-bread and batter-bread, mis-
named spoon-bread, corn mullins, and
batter-cakes. Mush and hominy, the
latter of several kinds, lye-hominy,
big hominy, and grits, are staple
dishes for the table in the lower
South. Even parched corn proved
itself capable of sustaining the lives
of soldiers in the Revolution and the
civil war.
But while Americans learn to eat
the various dishes that are made
from the products of Indian corn.
why should not our allies learn also :?
Why not mobilize a detachment of
colored cooks from the South and
send them to Britain and France
with cargoes of corn? 1t may mean
the difference between a well-nour-
ished and a half-starved population.
The demand for such products Gre
ated now may increase with familiar
use when the war is over. Wheat
will still be the king Of grain-foods
but corn certainly ranks far above
the rye and barley that form so
large a part Of the bread of Euro
pean peasants.

Sir: The writer Is endeavoring to
formulate rules for q game that has
been played for a great many years
in a haphazard manner and requests
the aid of your readers in systematic
ing ii.
It is played by those OF us who can
not afford the time or money to play
golf, and requires no tools other than
those furnished by 1.-THE best 25-cent
meal in the city" and forms a very
exciting game for noontime;. II Is
known as Table Golf.
The course is any smooth wooden
or marble top table. the ball Is the
butter, the club is the knife, while the
hole is bread or biscuit.
To play-warm the knife in a hot
biscuit. and cutting a piece OF butter
with it endeavor to convey the said
butter a distance OF at least six inches
to the biscuit. II you succeed you
call that a hole in par: IL, however, IL
drops on the table top the real fun
begins. You chase It through all the
hazards of salt cellar, cruet, sugar
bowl, etc, until you finally corner It
at the water glass and triumphantly
hole out in possibly six. II the but
ter melts before you hole out you call
that a lost ball and start all over
again.
You can see what an interesting
and exciting game this could be made
IL II had proper rules.
