Wilson Dealt
Knockout To
Hun in Dixie

WASHINGTON, Dec 14-Only by
the most vigorous methods, instituted
by the President and the military au
thorities, was the German propaganda
checked, which was being spread
among the negroes in the South dur
ing the month of July, Captain Lester
today told the Senate investigating
committee.
President Wilson's proclamation on
July 26, calling upon all Americans to
refrain from mob violence, was the
direct result of German propaganda
in the Southern states. This proola-
nation, together with the high wages
paid the Southern negroes, dealt a
death blow to the Hun propagandists.

FRANCE POURS
OUT HER HEART !
in WELCOMING
OUR PRESIDENT

PARIS, Dec. 14.-The booming of
cennon from Fort Mont Valerian on
the outskirts of Paris proclaimed the
arrival of the President of the United
States at 1912 O'Clock this forenoon,
and the roaring of guns elsewhere
marked the course of the presidential
train through the outer Notifications
and outer limits of the city.
From the moment the roar of the
first gun reverberated, the laundering
of cannon continued at one minute in
tervals until a salute of one hundred
guns had been completed
The weather was fine as the Presi-
dents train crept into Bois de Bou-
logne station. A flock of airplanes
hovered in the sky above the station,
adding a thrill to the arrival of the
first president of the American re-
public ever to visit a foreign country
Great multitudes, filling all the thor
cughfares in the vicinity of the station
and the route to the Murat mansion,
where President and Mrs. Wilson will
live during their sojourn in Paris, rent
the heavens with deafening cheers.
President Poincare, Premier Glenn
enceau and many ambassadors, minis
ters and army and navy officials greet
ed the President and his party at the
station. Presidents Wilson and Poin-
care entered the first carriage. Mes
danes Wilson and Poincare the sec
ond, and other notables followed in
other carriages. Republican guards
and soldiers lined the streets all the
way from the station to the Murat
mansion. The Stars and Stripes were
displayed everywhere
President Wilson was recognized
everywhere from his pictures, which
had become so well known during the
war throughout the world The Pres
ident and Mrs. Wilson found the Mu-
rat mansion in readiness for their
reception.
The President was formally well
coined to France at luncheon at the
Elysees palace at noon, President
Pcincare making an address of well
come. President Wilson replied in a
brief speech, in which he said:
II am sure l shall look upon the
ruin wrought by the armies of the
Central empires with the same repul-
SION and deep indignation that they
stir in the hearts of the men of France
and Belgium / appreciate as you
dc the necessity of such action in the
fral settlement of the issues of the
war as not only rebuke such acts Of
terror and spoilation, but to make men
ey erywhere aware that they cannot be
ventured upon without the certainty of
Just punishment"
He declared that the questions rails
e! by the war must be settled in such
a way as to insure the future peace
of the world. He intimated that he
favors the personal punishment of the
kaiser and his satellites
This afternoon President Wilson
addressed a delegation of Socialists,
to whom he declared:
This has indeed been a peoples war
1t has been waged against absolutism
and militarism, and these enemies OF
liberty must from this time forth be
shut out from the possibility of work
ing their cruel will upon mankind"
President Wilson will spend Sun
day very quietly recuperating from his
long voyage across the Atlantic it
is announced.

The need of a United Service Club

realixed. This club will be opened
shortly at % Jackson place, the new

Liberty Kitchens.

Here is a recipe for thin corn bread.
not only approved by Mr. Hoover. who
tells US that We must save wheat in
order to win the war, but has been
tried In the four liberty kitchens in
operation at Washington, and been
found so palatable and nutritious that
II Is served daily in many homes here.
One and one-half cups of Virginia
underground corn meal, sifted; one
half cup cold boiled rice (the rice must
be dry, and preferably cooked the day
hefore), one-half fiat teaspoon of salt.
Butter crisco the size of a walnut
Lard the size of a walnut. and two
cups of milk (skimmed milk will do).
Divide the butter and lard equally be-
tween two large pie plates and place
on back of stove where the grease will
melt slowly. Bring the milk to boil
and add slowly to the dry ingredients
which have been thoroughly mixed,
beating vigorously until the mixture is
perfectly smooth and the consistency
of double thick cream. Pour into the
heated pie pans fabout one-quarter
inch thick). and bake in quick oven
twenty minutes. If they do not brown
on tep, use thin knife and turn as you
would a griddle cake. Boiling water
may be substituted for the milk, but in
that event omit the rice. using all corn
meal and teaspoon of sugar. When
using boiling water add a little Of the
melted grease to the batter, which must
be somewhat thicker than when milk
is used.
This corn bread is very economical
and SO palatable that it has been sery-
ed at many of the smartest luncheon
parties given here this winter
Realizing that the women of America
are not only willing but eager to do
their part in the conservation of wheat,
meat, sugar and fat. the four food es-
sentials in the winning of the war, the
United States Food Administration and
the Department of Agriculture have es-
tablished liberty kitchens here that the
housewives might be instructed by
competent teachers the use of these
substitutes, and the methods of cook
ing cheap cuts of meat.
At the Franklin School many classes
are under instruction, incluring one
which started last Wednesday after
noon at o'clock. In this class there
are forty-three members. all having a
knowledge of cooking. from the va
rious churches throughout the CITY, who
when they have completed their course
at six lessons have promised to or
8anize other classes, teaching those
who will do likewise. 1t is hoped that
through this class of intensive train
