WOMEN BY THOUSANDS
TAKE N { Ms PLA CES
IN 3 YEARS 62l 900 ARE ADDED
TO MUNITION PLANT
WORK.

London, Sept, 2-(Correspond-
ence of The Associated Press)-
Fully 100000 women in the United
Kingdom are engaged in whole
time work, much of which, in one
way or another, is essential to the
war;" Harold Begbie an English
journalist and novelist, writes in a
London newspaper. "ln three years
62l,000 women were added to the
payroolls OF England's munition
factories he asserts.
Our Amazons,' Begbie says,
have saved us. We could not have
continued the struggle without their
help. They have not only enabled
millions Of men to be enrolled in
the army; they have doubled and
trebled the national output OF muni-
tions of war.
Behind the pretty girls in at
tractive uniforms, who are dong
most useful work, there are millions
OF women toiling in the sweat OF
their brows from morning to night
at work either so hard that ii was
thought before 1914 no women
could perform it, or so dangerous
that no man ever dreamed OF asking
a woman to do
The spirit in which these women
have come forward t5 take the place
OF men is beyond praise. They have
been a steadying influence in trade
disputes. They have shown the
utmost courage in moments OF
danger or panic. Many OF them are
doing either exceedingly hard work
or extremely monotonous work.
Their physical endurance has equal
led their powers OF nervous resist
ancc to fatigue. Their morality has
been superior to that OF men.

PULPIT CAMOUFLACE
ARIES TROOPS
AMERICAN SOLDIERS IN
EUROPE DO NOT WANT
SHALLOW TALK

London, Sept. l6.-Uncle Sans
fighters, an American army chaplain
finds, are eager TO be talked to
about religion, but, he says, you
can't fool the boys with pulpit
camouflage. Down in their hearts
they crave the vital things of life
and eternity"
The chaplain was discussing serv'
ices held in the Y. NJ. c. A. huts
I'VE usually OPEN he said, with
fifteen minutes OF movies. A ven
cradle preacher asked ii that was
necessary. He thought it wasn't,
and he proposed to put it to the men
themselves. Boys, he said, I've
come here to tell you something
about religion. Would YOU like to
begin right away or would you
rather have a movie film first?
"A tall, raw-boned soldier stood
up in the audience. TO hell with
the movies he exclaimed. Let's
hear about religion.
The boys don't come to be enter
tanned. What they want is to hear
the simple. sincere and elemental
truth OF religion as the preacher
conceiveS it. There are certain
subject, too it is wise to steer clear
OF. Don't talk to them about drink
and gambling and sex. They hear
all they need OF that sort OF thing
from the proper instructors.
And don't talk about spread-eagle
patriotism. They have plenty Of
patriotism OF the real sort. Don't
tell them how fine they are, for
they've heard that until they are tired
OF 1t. Besides, no real man likes to
be flattered, and these fellows are
real men. Above all else, when your
hourSe sense warns you that the
boys are waiting with open hearts for
the best comfort that religion can
give them, don't tell them funny
stories.
Give them a message straight
from God, il you have such mes
sage in you. Suppose your son
were going away, perhaps never to
return. What sort OF message
would you give him? That's the
message they want, and no other"

GERMAN PAPERS AFFECT
SURPRISE AT PEACE PLOT
Kaiser's Scheme to Split Allies Is
Discussed in Berlin.

Amsterdam, Sept. l6.-Sharp re-
proof OF Austria Hungary is voiced
by the Vossische Ieitung OF Ber-

is accepted by the entente it means
"the bankruptcy OF Niennese pol

The writer remarks that this is
the first time central power has
acted independently, which action,
he says. will create the impression
that the centralpowerS are not unit
ed but that the Germans and Aus
irians are fighting among them
selves. r. as may be expected, he
said, the entente refuses the offer,
then the prospects OF peace are
harmed rather than benefited
The peace initiative should have
been left to the entente allies. ac-

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agrculture)
In creameries ii is customary to con-
troll to some extent the ripening OF
cream by means of starters" which
are pure cultures of lactic-acid-produc
ing bacteria grown In pasteurized
milk. The making of starters is tech
meal work that should not be under
taken unless butter Is made on COM
mercial scale. If the milk and cream
are produced under proper conditions,
there is no need for using starters. IL
handled under those conditions ard
protected from contamination, cream
will develop the desired flavor when
allowed to ripen or sour naturally at
the proper temperatures.
When butter Is made on CONNER
cial scale, ii may be advisable to con-
troll the ripening and thus make
product that Is more uniform from
week to week.
Commercial cultures for starter maxi
Ing may be obtained from culture man.
ufacturers and from dairy supply
houses. Directions for using accom-
pany each package and should be fol-
lowed carefully.
A natural or homemade starter may
be made as follows:
1. Clean thoroughly and boil for five
minutes three pint fruit jars and tops
After boiling keep the Jars covered to
prevent the entrance Of bacteria.
2. Take pint sample of milk
freshly drawn from each Of three cows,
place In the jars cover, cool to rs de-
grees Fahrenheit, and keep at that
temperature until curdling occurs.
3. Curdling, or coagulation, should
take place in about "a hours. An ideal
curd should be firm, smooth, marble
like, free from holes or gas bubbles,
and should show little or no separa-
ton Of the whey. 1t should have a
clean, sharp, sour or acid flavor.
A. Select the sample that most close
ly meets those conditions and propa-
gate it, discarding the others. The
selected sample Is prOpagated as fol-
lows:
(a) Clean thoroughly and boil for
five minutes quart jar, the top, and
teaspoon.
(b) Fill the Jar with freshly drawn
milk, cover loosely, heat slowly to boil
ing, and pasteurize by boiling gently
for 80 minutes.
(c) Cool the milk to Is degrees Fab
renheit and add teaspoonful Of cur
died milk described In section 3 and
set away to curdle at that tempera-
ture.
(d) Propagate the starter from day
to day in the same manner described

scribed in Is the one to use for
ripening the cream, and should be add

Thirty-seven health officers report that
the device is being made locally for

inspectors stated positively that the
local milk supply has been improved
through the introduction of this de-

sterilizer was demonstrated to more
than 5000 farmers and was made the
subject of campaign in favor of
clean milk utensils that reached thou

Dainty tub blouses, to be worn with

Nothing could be prettier for tho

fabrics wolfe holds It's own as the most

Here comes the bride with her head
adorned by veil or by hat-as she
may elect-and her maids in yelled or
veilless hats; hers is the privilege to
decide which. Many brides have
chosen to wear lovely hats of ma
lines or crepe with wells suspended
from the back, to be brought about
the throat and partly over the face.
They are followed by maids in wide
brimmed hats or quaint bonnets. But
no one expects the bride to forego the
stately wedding veil, and IL she
chooses to wear it she may concede the
yelled hat to her maids.
A very simple and sweet arrange
ment of the veil is shown at the right

band of fine lace run with threads of
silver, that borders small, close Gap

out of this danger zone. After we
marched about two kilometers up the
river, we were halted, and discovered
that the corps bridge train was In
place. We were told that we would
get the bridge ready on land. Sections
consisting of two pontOons each were
firmly fastened together, equipped with
anchors, everything else made ready
and then put in the water. The loca-
ton for the bridge was indicated to
us and we rode with all our might
down to the bridge position. The en-
envy did not see through these tactics
and did not interfere, so that all the
parts reached the position in very
short time where they were fastened
together. In less than twenty min
utes the bridge was completed and
the infantry stormed over 1t.
The bridge was covered with straw
in order to dull the noise of the troop
movements. At the same time, at diff
ferent places, transports with pontoons
were assisting the army to cross and
before the French found out what had
happened our troops had occupied the
opposite bank and established them
selves firmly there.
