Green Tomatoes Offer Big List of
Excellent REGIMES

AJASSAANAB
The difference in flavor between
green tomatoes and the ripe fruit
and the surprising number of sdishes
in which they may be used, almost
adds another edible to the cooks
list. There are sure to be baskets
full of the shiny green globes left
late on the vines. Some can be salt
ed down, as Uncle Sam asks to have
done with as many vegetables as
possible, after canning and drying
have reached their limit Others
should be made into relishes or
cooked up with sugar and spices
for "mincemeat" or preserves.
Green TomatOes-On peck green
tomatoes chopped and drained over
night. Measure the quantity of wa
ter drawn off, and throw away.
Then supply the same amount of
fresh water to the tomatoes and
cook Until tender. Add four pounds
brown sugar, two pounds raisins,
two pounds cuTrants, two table
spoons cinnamon, two tablespoons
cloves, two tablespoons allspice,
two tablespoons salt, one cup vim
egar. Boil together until thick,
then seal. This makes delicious
pies.
Fried TomatOes-Select smooth,
green tomatoes Wash and cut in
slices one-foUrth inch thick Roll
in flour and fry brown in butter
Salt and pepper. Sprinkle with su-
gar just before serving.
Chow Chow-One pect OF green

onions, four stalks celery, two
heads cabbage, two tablespoons
each of white mustard seed and eel
cry seed, three pounds sugar and
One-half gallon vinegar. Boil five

Now when the time OF fruit and
grain is come,
When apples hang above the or
chard wall,
And from a tangIe by the roadside
stream
A scent of wild grapes fills the racy
air,
Comes autumn with her sunburnt
caravan,
Like a long gypsy train with trap
pings gay
And tattered cOlors of the Orient,
Moving slOw-footed through the
dreamy hills.
The woods of Wilton, at her com
ing, wear
Tints of Bokhara and Samarcand:
The naples glow with their Pom
peian red,
The hickories with burnt etruscan
gold
And while the crickets fife along
her march,
Behind her banners burns the Grim
son sun

As Field General Mangin entered
Laon a few days ago the people
were almost wild in their rejoic-
ings and hailfng him as their great
deliverer from the bondage Of the
past four years. Mangin, who has
distinguished himself in several re-
cent engagements, is called the
Tiger among French generals.
Even in appearance he has some
thing of the air of the great jungle
cats. His expression is gTimly fe-
line. A square-jawed man with a
narrow line OF dark moustache,
thin. firm-set lips and black brist-
ling hair trimmed like a brush. To
tell the truth he has rather for
bidding, not TO say ferociOus, ap-
pearance; and there is a look in
his eye which shows you that he Is
humorousIy aware Of it He is not
vain. After Mangin had retaken
Douaumont Fort at Verdun in No
vember, 1916-a job that required
all the Jungle qualities any general
might ossess-bucien Jonas was
in his dugout one day painting his
portrait Mangin went quietly on
with his work until the artist had
blocked in the rude outlines of the
generals stern. square features.
Let me see it, he demanded sud
denly. "Ah, that's perfect" he re-
marked. You can leave it like
that. IF you finish it you will only
flatter me-"
Charles Mangin is what the
French army calls an African. ="
When war broke out in 1914 he had
nearly 80 years of desert campaign
ing behind him He was in all
Frances Sudan, Congo, East Afri-
can and Moroccan scraps" and
was wounded in five of them. Three
years in TOnkin formed the only
variety in his military career after
he sailed for Dakar as q green sub
altern.
The general was born 80 years
ago in Lorraine. His father was a
civil engineer, but the Mangins are
essentially a fighting breed. One
of his soldier uncleS was a general
at 45. Two of his brothers. both
young men, were killed in Frances
colonial wars. The third, an Afri-
can missionary, threw off the robe
Of the White Monks in 1914 and
came back to France as sergeant Of
Senegalese sharpshoOtersi
When Mangin was in Africa he
wrote a book called 'BIack Power"
which had much to do with the Gre
alton of Frances African army.
Mangin saw that a country like
France, with a falling population,
was doomed in a struggle with Ger
many unless it made good use Of its
colonial reserves; so the divisions
of "Sidis'' and "BaIHboulaS'@
French soldiers nicknames for
Arab and negro trOops-sprang into
being, and under Mangin's com
mand have done much of the most
brilliant attacking work in the pres
ent war.
General Mangin possesses a vein
of sardonic humOr When. in the
autumn of 1916, he had helped to
undo in few days the work for
which the crown prince during
eight months had sacrificed the
flower of the kaiser's army at Yer
dun, Germany launched a peace Of
fensive Reviewing his men one
day Mangin eyed them over and re
marked with a grim smile, 'Ah,
you're the sort OF peace ambassa-
doris the republic wants"
And Nangin is the kind Of general
the allies want The French public
knows it. and when his portrait ap-
pears on the cinema screen no sci
der is cheered more loudly.

MANNHEIM SWATTED |. BY TONS OF BOMBS SAYS MACPHERSON
Republican A. p. Leased Wire]

LONDON, March 19.-Two hundred and fifty-five flights into Germany have been carried out by British avia- tors and only 10 machines have been lost, James Ian Macpherson, parla- mentary secretary of the war office, announced in answer to a question in the house of commons today regard ing the results of recent air raids into German territory.
 More than a ton of bombs were dropped on Mannheim on March IS, he added. Mir. Macpherson said eight direct hits had been obtained on the Badische Sedafabrik at Mannheim. The British raiders were attacked by an enemy formation and two of the enemy machines were downed, the others being driven off. All the Brit ish machines returned.
 The 255 flights, MT. Macpherson eX- plained, constituted 3S raids into Ger many, all since October. The aviators dropped AS tons of bombs. Most of the raids were carried out in daylight The number of these expeditions and the amount of explosives dropped were increasing steadily. The attacks were concentrated on objects of military importance.
 MT. Macpherson also said there had been steady increase in the strength of the enemy's aircraft defenses These aircraft, however, had been de- feated with loss whenever they at tempted to intervene.

LENROOT MAKES
 CLOSE RACE IN
 PRIMARY BALLOT
Loyalist Candidate In Wis consin Will Win Only By
 Slight Margin Over Man of La Toilette If He Wins
Republican A. P. Leased Wire1

L.
 MILWAUKEE, March 19.-Those who hoped for a clarion blast of pat riotism from today's senatorial primar ies were plunged in gloom over early returns.
 It, appeared from scattered returns from 31 counties that even if Lenroot, the republican loyalist candidate op posing James Thompson, the La Fol- lette candidate. should win it would be by very slight margin.
 Joseph F. Davies nomination over pr. Charles Mccarthy by the demo- crats by an overwhelming majority, probably five to one or more was as- sured early. Both are enthusiastic SUD- porters of the presidents conduct of the war and the republican loyalists took a need of comfort from the fact that the votes should also count in the judg- ment of Wisconsin pronounced by the country at large.
 Thompson Leads Lenroot Thompson, with 11.756 votes in the scattered returns, was 800 ahead of Lenroot, who had 11,206 At the time of this computation little had been heard from the so-called German counties, where Thompson was ex- pected to poll a heavy vote. Nothing had been heard from the city of Mill 1 waukee, where there was also a mu- nicipal primary and the polls did not close until o'clock.
 MT. Davies lost no time in beginning his campaign for the election on April ?.
 He issued statement in which he said:
 Issues Campaign Statement
 Today the political situation in Wis consin is exactly what it has been for many months past. WiSconsin's repu tation for loyalty still hangs in the balance. The nation doubts Wiscon- sin not because of the acts of any one of her public men, but because of the acts of many of her public men. It is a doubt that can be removed by clear unequivocal expression of the lovaI sentiment of Wisconsin registered al the polls. It can be removed by nothing else.
 The situation in Wisconsin is o1 deep concern in more than one way It involves the question. of course. ot whether Wisconsin shall support with all her power our battle line in France But it also involves the question ot whether Wisconsin is thoroughly wholeheartedly American in all cases and under all circumstances.

Special to The Republican,

!, FLAGSTAFF, March 19.-Northern Arizona is in a ferment and Flagstaff is at a fever heat over Normal school affairs brought on by the decision of a majority of the Normal school board to remove the president, Dr. R. II. H. Blome. and two of his assistants. When the new board that came iR upon the reinstatement of Governor Hunt met, there,were rumors that Doc tor Blome was in danger because ot the appointment of John Hennessy as a member of the board, but althougt the other two members assured those who asked that there would be nc change on March without giving it's president or the citizens any hearing, the board decided not to re-employ Dr. Blome and his assistants, Honn and Thorpe.
