Dr.. MuhIon's Revelations.

DIR. Wilhelm Muhlon, at the out
break of the war a director of the
great krupps company, whose story
of his discovery that war was impend-
ing was given here with the I4ichnow-
sky abstract few months ago, has
given out further statement in
Switzerland, where he is now living.
One feature of it is v1ndicaton of
Belgium from any completely in bring.
ing on the war or knowledge that 1t
was impending. He tells of the guns
which Krupps had made for Belgium
and which were ready for delivery
before the war, but at the request OF
Belgium were not delivered. He says
Belgium drew virtually all her
war material from Germany and
depended upon us for models and
manufacture Thus 2S-centimeter
guns for fortifying Antwerp had
been ordered and were ready for
delivery The earthworks at Ant
werp, however, were not suff1-
GENTLY advanced and Belgium
asked US to keep them, and short
ly before the war even offered to
pay storage on the guns if they
were kept until it was convenient
to accept them. The guns, there
fore, were held, and when the war
broke the Prusstan war minister
took possession of these valuable
cannon and turned them to his
own use.

Picnic Sandwiches.

The restrictions on the use of wheat
flour only add to the piquancy of the
picnic sandwich, for it always has been
the sandwich made Of some non-wheat
flour that has made the best sand
witch. The ideal cheese sandwich is
made with rye bread: cream cheese
goes best with graham or bran flour
bread-and by the way. bran mixed
with rice or potato or corn flour gives
the same result as a wheat and bran
bread. And corn bread makes a de-
licious background for tomato sand
witches. The corn bread should be in
the form of Johnny cake. The toma-
toes should be sliced and put between
split pieces of buttered corn bread just
before being eaten. little mayon-
Sor.
Here are some more suggestions for
wartime sandwiches for picnics:
Peanuts on Oatmeal Bread.-Pea-
nuts mixed with mayonnaise and sliced
egg make a good filling for oatmeal
make a good filling also. The filling
consists OF chopped dates, figs, lemon
juice and ground nuts. lightly mixed
with tart jelly, The oatmeal bread is
buttered for this. Candied fruits are
often used. but often the sandwich is
a sweetened war bread containing
chopped nuts and currants.
Cheese Sandwiches.-This can be
made at home by grinding sharp
American or store" cheese thru the
meat grinder. Add paprika, salt. a
little olive oil and onion juice. Before
using, add chopped chives. parsley or
cress to give color and additional fla
vor spread between slices Of dark
bread.
Nut sandwiches.-Run thru the
chopper any meat you have on hand
and an equal amount of pecan nuts
mix with the meat. season with salt
pepper, Worcestershire sauce and to-
mato catsup; then blend in enough
melted butter or thick cream to make
of the right consistency. Spread on
slices of buttered Boston brown bread
Tomatoes and Ce.ery.-Take crisp
new tomatoes. finely minced celery
and mayonnaise dressing. Place this
mixture between triangles of fresh
brown bread.
Shredded shrimp and finely minced
celery and your favorite salad dressing
makes an excellent filling

COUNTY TREASURER DIES

A realization of the deadly charac-
ter of Spanish influenza has been
brought home to the people of Gen
esee county through the death of
County Treasurer Clare A. Proper,
which occurred at his home in Flush
ing, Tuesday night, at about twelve
o'clock, after an illness dating from
last Friday. While ill, he was up
and dressed on the morning preced-
ing his death. He was 38 years of
age. His second term as county
treasurer would have expired next
January and at the time of his
death he was occupying the position
of cashier of the Flushing State
Bank. He was a splendid young
man, who had a host of friends
throughout the county, and his
death is exceedingly deplorable. Fun
eral services are to be held today
from the Flushing M. E. church.
