HERTLING GIVES SUGAR PILLS
Chancellor Admits Situation in France
is Grave, But Says it Might Be
Worse.

London, Sept. 25.-Count Won Hert
ling, the German imperial chancellor
addressing the main committee of the
reichstag declared that the public
discomfort in Germany was not justi
fed by the military situation on the
western front, according to dispatch
from Berlin.
The chancellor opened with the
promise to meet the desire of the
reichstag for information as far as
possible. He proceeded 10 allude Ia
the deep discomfort which has seized
wide circles Of the population" and
said that the principal reason was the
pressure of the terrible four years OF
war, with all the deprivations and suf,
ferings brought in its wake and the
sacrifice imposed on all classes, all
families and, more or less, on every
individual.
Says Discomfort Excessive.
81 have no intention of trying to
diminish this pressure by words" he
continued, but, gentlemen, if this
discomfort is influenced by our pres
ent military situation, by the events
on the western front, | must, without
desiring TO anticipate a statement
which we may expect from a repre-
sentative of the war ministry, declare
most emphaically that it far exceeds
justifable limits
Count Won Hertling admitted that
the last German offensive was unsuc.
cessfuI and that it had been necessary
to withdraw to the Siegfried line.
THE situation is grave" he added,
but We have no cause to be faint
hearted We have already had to pass
through harder times"
Hearers are Dissatisfied.
Chancellor Won Hertling, says he is
ready for peace based on the princi-
pies of President Wilson's fourteen
points. ..f.. .....
This statement according to advices
received LHlS AFTERNOON was Hldue Dy
Chancellor Hertling in his speech
which he made to the main committee
o. the Reichstag. H.
The Chancellor declared that he
had evidenced such readiness in his
speech OF February 25 TO which how
ever he pointed out Wilson had never
sent a reply.
Members Of The main committee are
reported to be greatly dissatisfied
with Won Hertling's speech, declaring
that it is unequal TO the gravity of the
situation.
Party members Of the Reichstag are
meeting today TO decide their attitude
toward Won Hertling.

BOYS LOVE RED CROSS BANNER
American Soldiers and Sailors Think
AS Much of Ensign AS of
Stars and Stripes.

Washington, Sept. 25.-When a
wounded soldier is dying, his last
words are usually, Tell Mother" A
last message from L. S. Marine who
vas killed in France has just come to
Washington, for the greatest mother
in the world" Pvt Edmund B.
Rowe, of the S1st Co., Machine Gun
Battalion, U. S. Marines, wrote from
"a little town in France on July 14th,
Bastile Day, TO an American Red
Cross official, telling him that the sol.
,dier has learned TO love that banner
as well as he loves the Stars and
Stripes. 3. E-"f .."r... .-t .a.4
"If you could only see," he contin-
ued, the expressions of comfort and
cheer which your generous donations
bring 10 the dirty, weary countenances
of recipients, you would feel highly
rcmunerated for your outlay of time,
labor and money / want the Amer.
lean people and especially all mem.
bers of the Red Cross to know just
how. every soldier feels toward your
great organization"
The letter bore this postscript from
Lieut.. Bower of the Marines:
ut is with great sorrow that add
these few words. Pvt. Rowe, a
member of my section, was killed in
action several days after he wrote
this and before he had an opportunity
to mail it. He was fine soldier and
a real man."

F+FFFFE+EFF++E5%s
Tomato VINEGAR.

In attempting to utilize the tomato
In as many ways as possible, it is not
uncommon practice, especially with
tomato club" girls, to make what Is
termed tomato vinegar" This prod
uct is not vinegar, although 1t has
a sour taste and to certain extent, as
In salads and for table purposes, can
be used as a substitute for vinegar.
1t Is really Tactic acid fermentation
instead Of acetic acid and for this rea-
son is more like sour milk and sauer-
kraut juice. 1t spells rapidly after
fermentation unless 1t is put into bot
ties, filed as full as possible, and
corked tight. After opening and ex-
posture to the air the product will spoil
unless kept very cold. In making this
product the Juice Is collected and al
lowed to stand In warm place for
few days. After 1t becomes sour 1t
should be filtered or strained and
stored In bottles filed full and eorked
tight. 1t is said that products of this
type are being used as substitutes for
vinegar In Austria. There appears to
be no reason why such product could
not be used In salad and meat dress
lngs with entire satisfaction.

War Review By
J. w. T. Mason

General Allenby is continuing
his advance northward in Pales-
tine along the Mediterranean coast
road at about as rapid a pace as
has marked his constant progress
since the present offensive began.
The capture of Haifa and Acre
by the British gives to the allies
the use of the excellent Bay of
Acre, for the landing of supplies
and endorsements. Haifa for this
reason, probably will become the
principal base of operations for
the immediate future in the de-
velopment of General Allenby's
strategy.
The remarkable use to which
General Allenby has recently put
his cavalry must now begin to be
curtailed and for that reason the
progress of operations henceforth
cannot be expected to continue at
the unprecedented record of the
last few days.
Fifteen miles north of Acre the
plains of Acre terminate in the
mountains Of Phoenicia. The
plains of Tyre, somewhat farther
to the north are available for cav
airy operations but only to a, very
limited extent. Hereafter the Brit
ish must move their artillery and
supplies through the mountainous
territory, of Phoenicia and CALI
lee. The cavalry cannot conduct
pursuits of the enemy and must
be used principally as transport
animals. Fighting for the most
part will occur on foot.
The extent of the oppositions
which the Turks will be able to
bring against the British north of
Acre, however must be very limit
ed, at least for the time being,
1t is impossible for many of the
Mahometans, to have escaped in
that direction. In general, Allen
by has the fact in his favor that
the progress through the hill
country toward Beirut and Da-
mascus can be properly organized
with little enemy interruption.
The area of the main Turkish
regiment is far from the Acre
sector. The Turks who have cross
ed the Jordan are moving east
ward, away from the Mediterran-
can coast. They are reported to
have reached Asman on the Da-
mascus railway. 115 miles south
of that city and 50 miles southeast
of Acre, on the other side of Pal
estine.
Arabs in strong force are in
that territory and the future of the
scattered Turkish units is uncer-
tain.

hour captured Roy Lancaster, alias

tween 20 and so degrees T., prefer
ably at so to 50 degrees +. Do not
disturb the film that forms, for this is
the true mother, the acetic acid bac-
terra which turn the fermented juice
to vinegar. Do not exclude the air.
The acetic acid bacteria must have
air for growth. Taste the juice every
week, and when 1t is sour, as 1t will be-
come-that is, doesn't increase in acid
or when 1t Is as sour as desired
syphon off and store in kegs, jugs or
bottles, filled full and stoppered tight.
II this is not done after reaching the
maximum acidity, the acid will gradu-
ally disappear and the vinegar Will
turn to water" If stored in we'll
stoppered, full receptacles, this cannot
happen, for the absence of air prevents
this change.
If the directions are followed, espe-
ciaIly as regards temperature, the
process will usually be completed in
six weeks to two months in cases
where only a few gallons Of juice are
used.
Apple vinegar may clarity itself
spontaneously, but If it should remain
cloudy and turbid, must be clarified to
make a Incorporating product. A
common method Is to store the vinegar
In barrels, undisturbed for a consid-
cradle time, and then track off :" that
is, draw off carefully, so as not to dis
turb the sediment. This is repeated
several times, and usually gives a
fairly clear product.
