Sugarless Pie-Filling.

Plenty of apple pies are guaranteed
for Americans next winter in spite
of the sugar shortage. Housewives

filling canned without sugar, according

canned by this method will be avail
able later on when the sugar may be
added or pies may be sweetened with
sirups and other sugar substitutes.
In canning apples for pie filling
slice them Immediately after pairing in

the product carefully in hot glass jars
or tin cans until full. Use a table

$1,000 BRIGANDS IN CHINA

Census of Outlaws Made, Following
Capture of American Engineers.
By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, July 12.-Following
the recent capture of three American
engineers by bandits in China, a GEN.
sus Of Chinese outlaws has been made,

command as leader of the army

THE AMERICA.JAPAN LINK

Queries are often propounded as to
how America and Japan are linked to-
gether. The address of Viscount Ishii
Japanese Ambassador to the United
States, the other day is an excellent
answer. He said:
"The great book which you love
and whose precepts underlie all that
is best in your civilization, says: Cast
thy bread upon the waters; for thou
shalt find it after many days
Upon that beautiful promise which
1 interpret to mean that good things
never die-that noble actions sooner
or later come back in harvests OF
blessedness-is founded the truest in
centive which men have for right liv-
ing and right acting.
America and Japan stand linked
and resolute In defense of a cause
which is so holy--so Just and right
that all other considerations. vanish
to nothingness."
AS Japanese statesman says, I'VE
love you, and, If you will let us, we
will walk at your side in loyal good
fellowship down all the coming years" :"
All his is the ARerica-Japan link.

GERMANY In THE LEAGUE

Earl CurzOn, government leader in
the British House of Lords, said in re-
gard to the proposed league of ma
tions, that it was hard to contemplate
Germany being admitted. He thought
her admission would be impossible
until she was forced by arms to
abandon her world dream" He pro-
poses two leagues, one of the allied
nations, one Of the enemy nations.
There are indications that France will
not view with favor any future re-
lations with Germany. There are
without doubt many in the United
States who would not wish the United
States to enter league to which Ger
many had admission, and the German
chancellor has withdrawn his approval
of the plan. SO-it seems that none
of the parties in the quarrel are ready
for peace.
This war can have but one Of two
endings,-a compromise or complete
victory over Germany. A compromise
that would leave Germany with ves-
tige of her intolerable system We
will not for a moment be contemplated.
1t must be a conquered Germany with
which we will deal, Germany con-
vinced Of her error and ready to
adopt other ideals. When that time
comes the leaders Of the nations will
voice a different sentiment.
There can be nothing in Lord Cur
IONS plan for two leagues. 1t would
lead to disunion not union. Armed
force would be necessary to maintain
the rights Of each league. We would
be building up a cause for militarism,
not abolishing it. If this war is
worth while we must stamp out
militarism in Germany, and establish
conditions unfavorable for its future
growth. The league Of nations was
proposed with a view of ending the
war; but there must be greater vision
of all that peace means. There should
be no desire to destroy the autonomy
of Germany. Whatever will be Ger
many's condition at the close Of the
war, it will still be Germany, a great
nation, capable of great development.
If we by our peace terms make it an
Immaelite among nations we are but
creating a cause for future militarism,
not destroying the cause. That would
be no preparation for enduring peace.
When this war is rightly ended we
will see things more clearly. We will
need to take Germany into the league
that a firm foundation for peace may
be established; and Germany will need
US. A world wide democracy does not
contemplate crushed nation. 1t con-
templates conquerers ready to uplift
a contrite nation recognizing the need
of help. Hatred will not vanish easily
but the necessities Of meeting the
conditions of a reorganized world will
in time necessitate adjustments and
bring harmony and peace.

Food Hint for Today I
How To Can Peaches.

Before preparing fruit make sirup
| g pounds 9 ounces sugar toll gallon
of water or pounds s ounces sugar TO
l gallon Of water), allowing about l
cup of water for each quart jar. Put
in one cracked peach pit for every
quart of sirup. Boil sirup for min
utes Strained honey or other sirups
can be used in place of a part of the
sirup usually required.
Sort the fruit, using firm, sound,
uniform peaches, for canning and put
ting aside the soft broken ones for
jam. Peeling may be done by i'm
mersing in boiling water about 1 min
ute or until skin slips easily. Re-
move, plunge for a minute into cold
water, and slip of the skins. Cut into
halves and pack at once in previously
boiled jars, placing the halves in over
tapping layers, the concaye surface
of each half being downward and the
blossom end facing the glass. Fill
each jar with hot sirup and paddle
carefully to remove air bubbles. Par
TALLY seal jars. Boil (process) quart
jars in a water bath for 20 minutes
and half gallons 30 minutes. When
thoroughly cold test jars for leaks.
Store in a cool, dark, dry place.
4. Firm, perfect peaches may be fioated
in boiling water for about 20 seconds
after being peeled. They are then cut
in halves, seeds removed, and packed
as indicated above. Peaches fioated
in this manner are made more flexible
and pack to better advantage. They
also become mellow, absorb more sirup
and are finer in flavor.-U. S. Depart

While Editor Jones, of the Arcadia
News, was in church last Sunday, his
automobile, which he had used be-
cause his wife and grandchildren
were not able to walk the distance
from his home to church, was coated
with yellow paint. We venture to
say that no patriotic spirit prompted
any one to such an act of vandalism
Rather it was the the out-cropping Of
the cowardly mob spirit which takes
advantage Of any condition that al
lows it to practice lawlessness with
immunity. If these people had been
the right kind they would have been
in church with the editor. Under the
Interpretation of the administration
no one has any right to judge The mo-
tives Of any person who drives his
automobile to church, and no one
should annoy or humiliate him.

SARY OCCUPATIONS

Washington, D. c., Sept. II, 1918.
The War Department authorizes the
following from the Office of the Pro-
vost Marshal General:
Persons, such for example as
bankers, men in commercial enter
prises, newspapermen, etc., who mas
contemplate making claims for de-
ferred classification on the ground
that they are persons engaged in in
dustries, occupations or employments,
including agriculture, found to be
necessary to the maintenance Of the
Military Establishment, or the effec-
tive operation of the military forces,
or the maintenance of national inter-
est during the emergency and should
bear this in mind:
"That any such person must be
prepared to convince his district
board (D that the particular enter
prise in which he is working is nee
essary to the maintenance Of the
military force, or the maintenance Of
national interest during the emer-
gency, and (2) that he himself is
necessary to the operation of that en-
terprise.
I'm making such claims such per-
sons may make use of those parts OF
the QUESTIONABLE relating to claims
for deferred classification on the
ground of being engaged in indus
tries.
Employers of registrants engaged
in industry, agriculture or other &C.
equations necessary to the mainten-
ance of the Military Establishment, or
the effective operation of the Military
Forces or the maintenance Of ma
tional interest during the emergency
should also make claim for deferred
classification for such employees.
A registrant entitled to deferred
classification on grounds of depend
ency is not compelled to give up his
occupation in order to retain his de-
ferment. 1t is, however, a patriotic
duty every man owes to his country
to engage in some essential occupa.
ton or employment during this emer.
gency.
