The Atlantic division of the American
Red Cross cuts out the garments made
by the chapters in New Jersey, New
York and Connecticut. In order to
take care of the great demands. the
cutting department has been equipped
with electrically driven machinery. BY
the use Of cutting machines the mate
rial can be made ready for thousands
Of workers. The same scheme can be
utilized in any city or town where
there Is a garment factory. At Column
bus, Ind, the Red Cross chapter turned
its material over to q shirt factory.
Work that had taken a great deal Of
valuable time was one in a twinkling
by machinery and there was no charge.
The owners of the factory were glad to
further the Red Cross work in that
way. Any chapter, In a place where
there is such a plant, should be able to

The officials of the Long Island rail-
way have begun another years cam
paign to try and prevent motorists
from committing suicide by driving in
front Of moving trains. Last year the
Long Island had 100 grade crossing
gates smashed by automobile rivers.
1t was a favorite game to drive at
high speed into these barriers, smash
them and then clear the track Just a
few feet ahead Of the oncominG train.
Mondays newspapers usually carry
long casually lists resulting from fool
hardy motor car drivers, who cele-
brate Sunday by going to eternity in
stead of their intended destination.
There are reckless drivers in every
state and in every city of every state1
indianapolis has it's share, and sooner
or later they will learn that the game
between the automobile and the loco
motive Is an unequal one. The loco
motive wins nearly every time.

that q New York chef has n wonder
receipt for making bread without
wheat flour" Jean Ricroch, chef of
the Biltmore hotel, is responsible for
the recipes. and he now gives 1t to
the country, without money and with
out price. Mr.. Ricroch told q Herald
reporter the ingredients Of the new
bread is as follows: twenty-five
pounds Of rye flour. rs pounds Of
graham flour rs pounds Of corn flour,
25 pounds Of crushed oatmeal, one
pound Of lard and two pounds of yeast"
This, 1t is explained, is enough to
make $50 pounds Of bread. The yeast
and rye -four should be mixed first and
the Others added alternately. Smaller
quantities of bread can be made by
using small proportions. The receipt
doubtless is a good one. bua 1T does not
provide for bread without wheat flour.
Graham fleur is unbolted wheat flour.
SO, while the bread is a wheat saver
1t does not do away entirely with the
use Of that grain.

LEASED LAND OF
HUNS SEIZED BY
China SORE

Picking, April 4.-(Correspiondence Of
The Associated Press.)-Substitution
by the Japanese of civil administra-
ton for military rule in Tsingtau and
along the Tsingtau- Tsinan railway
which is regarded here as giving the
appearance of permanency to Japan's
occupation of that territory in Shan
tung wresteil from the Germans at
the beginning of the war; has aroused
the indignation of the Chinese local
population. This has been expressed
in petitions to the central government,
to the governors of other provinces
and to influential Chinese organiza-
tons.
The Chinese government has pro-
tested to Toxic and has received a
reply stating in effect that the in
auguration of civil government was
done with the idea that it might
please the local population better than
a military regime.
Japans point of view, as described
here. is that any obligations to. va
cae the territory in question after the
war. which existed by virtue OF ia
pans declaration at the time of its
occupation, has been annulled by
China's declaration of war against
Germany and the consequent cancel
lation of existing treaties.
1t is understood in Picking that ia
pan holds that the ultimate DISPOSE
ton of this territory must be the sub
pject of further negotiations between
China and Japan.
Meanwhile Japan is perfecting and
extending her civil administration or
the ground that it is her duty tc
maintain peace and prosperity in the
territory she captured from Germany

with despair Japan's action, say much

way zone.
This want of any authority for a
railway zone" is being argued by the
Chinese foreign office in its protest
against the alleged encroachment
The Japanese, in reply, argue the
difficulty of altering a decree issued
by their Emperor, declaring that what
they are doing in Shantung is such
authority.
The Chinese declare that under ex-
isting treaties any decree by Japan
can only affect the Tsingtau district
and the erstwhile German leased ter
ritory, therefore there is no need of
modifying the decree, the only requi-
site being to properly interpret it.
While the respective foreign offices
discuss the merits of the controversy
the influx of japanese into the terri
tory in question is said to be growing
from day to day.
