of warships captured from the Rus
SLAMS, but is believed here to be
strong enough to control, for the
present at least, the Turkish gov
ernment. 1t was pointed out yes

sopotamia of Turkish control, Tur-
key must hold to Constantinople as

power as government.

AUSTRIA IS
FASTENING
To Supreme Crisis. The
Hungarian Parliament De-
clares Hungary
SEPARATE NATION

London, Oct 13.-At a meeting
of the Hungarian Parliament proc
lamation was read declaring hunga-
ry to be an independent State, says
"a dispatch from Berlin fordwarded
from Copenhagen to the Central
News Agency here.
Henceforth, the message adds,
there is to be only personal union
between Austria and Hungary.
The Magyar kingdom of Hungary
has several times been united in dy-
nastic rule with Germany and Bohe-
mia, as we'll as Austria, by which it
became dominated in 1885, when
Emperor Ferdinand /, was crowned
King Ferdinand V. of Hungary. 1t
was then that the Constitution
which had been granted by Andrew
II. in 1922 was suspended.
In 1S49, in common with the Bo-
hemians, Ruman:ans, and the slav
peoples of the empire, the Magyars
revolted and forfeited their Consti-
tuition. 1t was restored in 1860, and
seven years later the Kingdom enter
ed into union with the empire by
compromise called the "Ausg-
LEIGH"
According tothis Ausgleich the al
fairs common to both States were to
be: l, foreign affairs; 2, military
and naval affairs, and 3, finance re-
lating to matters common to both
States. Besides this political con-
nection which was intended to be
permanent, a commercial union was
established, which has been changed
from time to time. In all internal
affairs the States have been COM
pletely independent.

Washington, Oct. 19!Information
of an Official nature which has reach
ed the State Department, Secretary
Lansing said, indicated that Austria
Hungary was facing great politi-
cal crisis, which might have fan
reaching effects and result in devel-
opments of supreme Importance u
the nations allied against the Cen
trail Powers.
The advices indicate that even
the best efforts Of Emperor Charles
and his advisers to hold the situation
in check may prove unavai inr and
that the elements unalterably oppOs-
ed to anything which may SAVIOR OF
a continuance of German domination
are rapidly gaining in power.
Emperor Charles, it is reported,
is preparing, at an early meeting OF
the Austro-Hungarian delegations
an extraordinary assembly of repre-.
lsentatives of both Austria and Hun
gary for the consideration of poll,
tics affecting the empire, to issue a
manifesto granting autonomy and
new government. Because of the
recent developments, it is said by Of
ficials here, the proposal has come
too late and probably will be sum
marily rejected.
Autonomy and new form of gov
eminent, it is now stated, will moi

LOCAL HOUSE KEEPERS
Make Food Conservation Suggestions
Good Bread Can BE Made Of
Substitutes Mixed With Flour.


Any woman in Mason county who
has learned to use substitutes for
wheat flour, lard, sugar, butter, beef,
pork or mutton Is asked to pass the
word on to others.
Many women are SO engrossed with
family cares and hard work that they
nave little time to read, study and
experiment with food substitutes. Wo-
men who have leisure or comparative
leisure can not do more patriotic
service than to help the more heavily
burdened women in the solution of
our common problem.
The following helpful suggestions
have been given at recent food meet
ings:
Mrs, A. NJ j. Cochran says Aunt
Jemima Flour makes excellent bis
cult
Mrs. j. c. Burwell says corn -four
with wheat -four in equal parts makes
delightful biscuit
Corn -four is not the same as corn
meal. 1t can be purchased in bulk at
W. |. Nauman & Bro. and ]. c.. Cab
lish G. Bro.
Mrs. j. w. Caplinger says rye flour
makes good biscuit.
Mrs M. ]. Flarity makes excellent
biscuit of equal parts of wheat flour
and corn meal. If one prefers use
three cups wheat flour to two cups
corn meal
Mrs. j. Foster Barbour sends the
following recipe for mullins, which
saves SO per cent of wheat flour.
2 eggs, cup of -four, 1 cup of
corn meal, 2 table spoonsful of SUI
gar, table spoonful of butter, tea
spoonful of salt, teaspoonful of
baking powder. Milk to make a batter.
Cream sugar and butter, add yolks
of eggs one at time, add corn meal,
then -four, fold in whites beaten stiff.
Bake Is minutes. Makes IA muf-
fins.
Any member of the Food Organiza-
tlOn will be glad to receive and mace
on to others helpful suggestions from
any housekeeper regarding the use of
substitute foods.
Many women do not read magazines
or newspapers or attend Women's
Clubs and meetings. A friendly visit
VIII furnish opportunity to give to
these women helpful information re-
garding the palatable use of substi-
tute foods.
