A Friendly Enemy

Lena, who had cooked for two
generations of Johnsons, could cer-
tainly make sauerkraut. Crisp
white and to just the right degree
briney, it would have tickled the pa
lates of her ancestors in SaXony' IL
could not nave been improved up
on by her old grandmother who had
brought her to America fifty years
| before Also it was one of the prides
| of the Johnsons' menuS-until some
| over Jealous patriot shifted at the
once popular dish and refused 1t.
Besides, she told a neighbor, there
must be something very queer about
family named Johnson that dotted
on such a German dish!
Then the young Johnsons rose
up.
mo more sauerkraut," said they.
Lena is using German propaganda
on u.s."
So sauerkraut was interned as a
dangerous alien enemy for a week
Then Mrs. johnson began to think
it over. She looked up the origin
of the dish. She read the sugges-
tions of the Food Administration on
the subject, and the next evening
announced her stand to the family.
In the first place." she said, Il
kraut is of Dutch origin, rather than
German. Also, 1 am firmly con-
vinced that it is patriotic to eat it.
and foolish not to. Cabbage is now
fresh from the garden we have been
cultivating all summer. 1t is exactly
the kind of food that the Food Ad-
ministration asks aIs to eat because
it is grown, perishable, and
not one of the staples that we have
TO send abroad.
So the next day Lena began to
make sauerkraut again. She first
cut the heads of cabbage into long,
fine shreds, and put them into big
Jar in layers, with salt sprinkled
thickly between She mashed each
layer down with hardwood
weight.
After twenty days, she took the
jar out of the cellar, where she had
put it because she wanted the tenn
perature of about sixty degrees for
it, and she saw that the process of
curing was complete, because bub-
bles had ceased to rise at the edge
of the jar.
That night the youngest Johnson
helped himself to a generous por-
ton of sauerkraut, to eat with his
cold meat, and said:
'Well ! guess old Lena and her
sauerkraut are all right after all.
And besides wasn't it silly to call
cabbage German. when it grows
right in our own yard?''

! to avail themselves of the higher
education offered to women, and to
fill the colleges and prepare for the
professions. They were the first OF
organize units in France and Bel
gium to feed the refugees, care for
the lost children and nurse the sick,
and they went prepared for these
duties.
They did not invade stricken
countries full of futile sympathy
and inability to speak a word of
the language. They ha dless of "Oh,
you poor dears," and more of "Je
pearle.'
They did, the first thing that
came to hand. and they did it
mighty well. A famous war COR
respondent tells of a group of
them, from , Smith College, whom
he met in the north of France
helping to repatriate the peasant
ry. l ntheir wrecked and desolate
homes.
They stayed by the work till the
Huns were upon them, and then
applied the torch to the model
village that it had taken thou
sands of dollars and months of
labor to build, rather than let it
fall into the enemys hands.
And when they did leave, each
one of them came driving her own
motor truck and bearing in it a
load of helpfell natives. One girl
actually brought to shelter a
troop of terrified dwarfs, dropped
from stranded caravan. Nok
she was a bachelor girl, modern,
resourceful. humane. An old maid
would have said, in reference to
the dwarfs Haven't you some
thing more pleasant for me to
drive?"
To be an old maid indicates a
state of mind. to be a bachelor
girl denotes a state of grace.

U. 5. CONSUL POOLE HAS
REACHED FINN CAPITAL
FROM MOSCOW - DUE IN
STOCKHOLM WEDNESDAY.
Lansing Discredits Rumor That
American Consulate Was
Being Besieged.

Washington. Sept. 24.--United States
nsul-General Poole has arrived at
Helsingfors from Moscow and Is due
In Stockholm tomorrow.
News that the consul general had
crossed the Finnish border In safety
reached the state department today In
u message from Helsingfors dated Sept.
II. Upon its receipt Secretary Ian
sing disclosed that a week ago he Or
dered Mr.. Poole, the last American Of
ficial remaining at the bolshevik capt.
tai. to leave Russia.
The dispatch brought no informa-
ton concerning the British and French
consular officers. who are detained by
the bolshevil<i. and TO aid whom Poole
insisted on remaining at his post until
ordered away.
frmed rumor recently reached the
state department that the American
consulate at Moscow was being be-
sicged by the bolsheviki because Brit
ish and French officials were given
refuge there. Secretary Lansing said
he did not believe this report, but be-
cause OF the rumor and the known Sc
riousness of the situation In Moscow
he had directed Mr.. Poole to. leave.
No detailed report from Mr.. Poole
has been received and the department
does not expect any further word from
him until his arrival in Stockholm.
The United States consul general at
Christiania reported today that the
Norwegian consuls in Moscow and Pc
trograd have been untiring in their ef-
forts on behalf of American citizens
and American interests in Russia. II
is due to their firm insistence on the
rights of Americans to leave Russia
and in giving them refuge In their
consulates that Americans have been
saved from most serious difficulties in
that country.

New System Of se-
1oction. ~

Washington. Sept 24.-Volunteers Sc.
lected from the ranks of the draft VIII
supply the men needed by the navy and
the marine corps henceforth.
The conditions governing the selection
of men subject to the draft who volunteer
for service in the navy and marines were
defined at conference today between
Provost Marshal General Crowder and the
representatives of the navy deparement
The navy will take $4,000 men month

In addition to the Class / men the navy
expects the enlistment of a large number
of mon in deferred classfcations. partic-
ularly men whom the higher pay of the
navy would enable to care for their de-
pendents.
Secretary Of the Navy Daniels said to-
night that under the arrangement with
Gen. Crowder the navy is assured of an
average monthly allotment Of $4,000 men.
which will not be exceeded unless an
emergency develops.
OF this allotment the navy is to enlist
or enroll. when needed, men skilled in
particular naval service. He added that
the majority of the $4,000 men will be
taken from the run of the draft. OF these
the navy officials will sort out the skilled
men.
Under the new arrangement" Secre-
tarry Daniels said. 1.-The recruiting officers
will be known as mobilization officers,
and mobilization centers are being estab-
lished at central points. Men of draft age
who have qualifications that make them
valuable to the navy and who are de-
sirous OF entering that branch of the
service can apply to the officers at these
mobilization centers.
IF applicants measure up to the re-
quired standards and demonstrate their
fitness and qualifications, the mobiliza ton
officers will apply for them through their
local registration boards. This selective
needed.
Individual enlistment for the navy
may be made from deferred classifica tions
on the grounds Of dependency in view or
the higher pay Of the navy. which does
away with the possibility Of hardship for
the dependents"
