"How foolish for America to have
come into the war;" he went on. IF
she could succeed in landing a real
army in France, what good would ii
90! America can see how easy it was
for me to break through and to cap
ture 300,OOO of the Italians, and they
must realize that can break through
on the western front and do the same
thing there. If America had kept out
of the war she would have gone on
making untold profits and when peace
was finally declared she would have
been in most enviable position
among the nations of the world AS II
is, wilson Will never have seat at
the peace table if l can help it, and
now America shall have to pay all the
costs of the war;" Evidently he mag

complete that there would be no peace
table, but that the warning nations
would be compelled to accent the
terms he offered them, in which event
knowing the magnanimity of the Ger
man makeup, l should say the world
at large would have to be content with
very little.
How the kaiser feels now that the
failure of the U-boats to Inherent
American troop ships must be pain
fully apparent to him, and America
has so overwhelmingly overcome the
shortage of shipping, don't know, but
1t is more than probable that for some
time to come the real situation will, at
any rate, be successfully concealed
from the German people. l know that
the failure of the U-boat campaign was
unknown to the Germans up to the
time left Berlin-in January, 1918.
While the kaiser and the Germans
generally felt confident that we would
never be able to send many men
across, they professed to feel little
even if we did.
According to some of the German Of |
icers with whom I spoke, even If we
anded 100000 men in France it
would not be enough to break the

Fruits Save Suaer.

All ripe fruits contain sugar. The
amount varies fSom about three ounces
or one-fifth cupful per pound in fresh
figs and plums to about one-half ounce
per pound in watermelon.
If the water IS driven off from fruits,
as in the drying process, the sugar
becomes far more lGominent than II
is in fresh fruits. Dried fruits, there
fore, taste far sweeter than fresh ones
and are for this reason often classed
among the sweets. 1t should be re-
membered, however, that sugar is
present in all fresh fruits, even In the
most acid ones, and that those persons
who wish to do so can economic on
other kinds Of sugar by eating large
amounts OF fresh fruits In unsweet-
ened forms.
In warm weather melons and other
fruits may be used in place of made
desserts, which usually contain both
butter and sugar. Fruit and lce-cold
junket, which can be prepared from
skim milk, make a refreshing dessert
and utilize perlshabe foods chiefly.
Or the dessert course may be omitted
entirely and fruit salad with cot
tage cheese may be used in its place.

Washington.-Already certain pollti-
clans have begun 'looking forward" In
regard to the political effect of the
great war. For the most part this re-
lates TO the presidential campaign in
1920, but there are other considera-
lions which are somewhat personal,
particularly to the younger element IN
congress. There is no question about
the creation of a large crop of Great
War heroes. Men who participate In
the present war for democracy and
humanity will be heroes In the eyes
of the people for many years to come
and they will naturally receive politl-
cal benefits accordingly.
For years after the Civil war Union
army men dominated politics In the
North and held most of the Offices. In
the South only men who had Confeder-
ate war records were recognized for
any political position. In the North
Union war record was for 20 to 30
years n great political asset. In all
probability for 40 years after the pres
ent war ends men who participated In

this means large, fat fee for the al
torney or claim agent.
Congressman Harold Knutson OF
Minnesota read letter in the house
showing that certain attorneys had
been in correspondence with one of his
constituents in regard to the back pay
of a soldier who died in France. The
amount was 5000, not very large, but
the Washington attorneys wanted TO
get rake-off of 20 per cent, which
would mean that the relatives of the
soldier would receive $160 instead or
5000, and these attorneys would get
$40 for services of no account what
ever, as in due course of time the pay
ment would be made to the estate or
the soldier, to his next of kin, OF Who
ever was designated as the person to
whom it should be paid. Congress-
man McClintic of Oklahoma also pre-
sented letters showing that the same
sort Of a game was attempted upon
soldiers from his state.
1t is not likely that the exposures of
Knutson and McClintIc will have the
effect of preventing victims from be-
ing held up by attorneys and claim
agents, but 1t may result in lettering
many people from becoming dupes of

Cooking Just Long Enough Has
Been Discovered -- Dried
Fruits Add Variety.

Mush and milk for breakfast or
lunch makes a simple dish fit for a
king-but like all other simple dishes
1t must be made just right or the king
won't like it. The secret of serving
cornmeal this way lies in plenty of
milk and not too much mush. In the
first place see that the mush is not
too thick-try out your recipes until
you find the knack of cooking it just
long enough. No one enjoys dry, thick
muSh. Then serve moderate portions
with a generous amount of milk or
cream on top-and have plenty more
in the pitcher to add later on. Raisins,
dates, figs and other dried fruits give
variety to the dish and please the chill
dren. They sweeten the mush and
save sugar.
The most common way of prepar-
ing mush is to allow the water to
rome to the boiling point and to add
the meal slowly, stirring constantly.
The objection to this method is that
there is considerable danger that the
mush will become lumpy and often
times it is inconvenient and unpleas-
ant to stand over a hot stove and stir
the mixture sufficiently to make II
smooth. A better method, therefore,
Is the following:
Put the cornmeal, cold water and
salt together in the top Of a double
boiler. No stirring is necessary. Put
the top of the double boiler into the
lower part and allow the mush to
heat slowly, cooking half an hour, or
longer, If convenient. Many people
cook It as long as four hours. Just
before serving remove the top of the
double boiler from the lower part and
boil the mush for two or three min
utes. In boiling 1t at this time there
Is no danger that it will lump.
