"WlCKEDEsT CITY" is DEAD
Hopewell, Va, Which Sprung Up Like
Klondike Town, Dies
Sudden Death.

Hopewell, Va.-Hopewell, the "wick-
eldest city," which arose out of nothing
like town of the Klondike three and
a half years ago, has died a sudden
death. f
The great powder mills of the Du
Points, which provided sinews of war,
are being dismantled. Forty thousand
inhabitants of the town have begun
an exodus. In few months the corn
fields from which the town sprang
will be restored. Only stories of the
great fires of unbelievable vice and
pistol duelS will survive.
The e. I. du Pont de Nemours Pow
der company built $75,O0O,O00 pow
der plant and Hopewell grew up with
1t in few months. Destroyed by
fire once, it was rebuilt. Cornfelds
sold for $4,000 an acre. Dance halls,
gambling rooms and saloons brought
desperate men into the town. Re-
yolvers were part of every mans
equipment. A woman did not dare go
on the streets unescOrted. The old
strong-arm law of the Wild West days
prevailed. And now the inhabitant:

GLAD COLONIES ARE FREED
Native Chiefs in Former German Pos
sessions Hope They Will Remain
Under British Rule.

London.-German cruelty exercised
toward the natives of her, former col
onies is outlined in the statements of
native chiefs in the Samoan islands,
the Kameruns, Togoland, Southwest
Africa, and East Africa, in white
book published by the colonial office.
The statements show that the natives
everywhere hope to remain under Brit
ish rule.
In a few cases the chiefs said they
were afraid to say anything lest their
land be restored to the Germans, who
had threatened them with what they
would do when the war was over. This
fear, however, failed to prevent vir-
tually unanimous appeal for retention
of the British flag.
The horrors of the German rule in
Southwest Africa, the white book says,
already are too we'll known to require
repetition, but the same system of
tyranny was found in other German
colonies in a greater or less degree.
The burden running through all the
statements of the natives of Togoland
and the Kameruns is ''fiogging, fog
ging, f1ogging," especially in connec-
ton with forced labor on plantations.

PANCAKES IN OSTEND

Hotel Manager Tells of Sufferinqs at

American Press Headquarters, Brit
ish FrOnt.-The first pancakes made
in Ostend in four years were served
the other day at the Crown hotel. But
the American correspondents got them
under false pretenses.
They had had very good lunch of
vegetable soup, roast beef, Drowned

milk and flour from the British ships
today, and are able to make pancakes
for the first time in four years" Then
she added solemnly: "The manager
and the chef will do it, because you
are English"
Whoever cooked the pancakes had
lost no mastery of the art in four
years. The American correspondents
were served four pancake master
pieces each sprinkled with sugar.
They were so good that we had no
qualms later when we were told that
the roast beef of Ostend was really
roast horse.
The Crown hotel, Ostend's finest,
had suffered at the hands of the Ger
mans. The manager showed us
through two floors, pointing out where
wall ornaments, chandeliers and ev-
erything of copper had been torn off.
All wool had been plucked from the
mattresses. Nine thousand bottles of
wine had been carted away. But the
hotel had receipts for everything
stOleni
Nor was this ALL The hotel was
set apart for German officers, and it
had been a great trial to endure the
tyrannica1 mood of most of them.

Try Vegetable Marmalade
if Fruit is High

The use of vegetable marmal-
ades as substitutes for fruit mar.
malades has been suggested by
the extension department of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture
They are less expensive than the
fruit marmalades, because they
require less sugar, and be-
cause vegetables may be purchas-
ed at lower figure than fruits.
In times like the present, when
it is desirable, if not imperative,
that we reduce the cost of living
the idea seems worthy of a trial,
at least. The following sugges-
tions and recipes have been rec
commended.
In each case the mixture should
be cooked slowly until it is thick
and the ingredients are tender,
and then packed in hot jars and
sterilized.
Carrot Marmalade - Two cups
of ground carrot, 112 cups of sug-
ar, 2 sliced lemons, and 2 tea
spoonfuls of ground ginger root.
Carrot and Orange Marmalade
Two cups of ground carrot, the
juice of 2 lemons, the juice and
grated rind of l orange, l cup of
sugar.
Carrot and Pineapple Marmal-
ade-One cup of ground carrot, l
cup of shredded pineapple, l cup
of sugar, l sliced lemon.
Pumpkin and Pineapple Mar
malade-One cup of pumpkin
peeled and ground, l cup of shred
ded pineapple, 2 cups of sugar, l
teaspoonful of ginger, this to
stand over night in a granite pan
or for several hours until the
juice is extracted. Add the juice
and rind of l lemon and cook as
heretofore stated.-R. A. McGinty,

Behind the efforts of those who

In bold relief.
1t is almost precisely 300 years since
the Pilgrim Fathers set sail from Ply
mouth in the Nkayfower to make, or
on undeveloped continent, brave ex
pertinent of self government. The
actual tercentenary falls next year

grimage last year. when 100000 he.
role soldiers left their homes In Amer.
leo to speed across the Atlantic to the
rescue Of the old country. They
came actuated by that love Of liberty
which had been handed down to them
from the ancient Pilgrims. and with
their British brothers they testified on
the battle field to the essential unity
Of the AnglO-Saxon stock. 1t Is now

Speech of Lithuanian Peasants Rec
ognized as the Most Ancient

"Viri trahite jugum"-"Men, drag

tician when Nero turned down the re-
quest Of the Amalgamated Togamak-
ers' union for an eight-hour day and
raised taxes to pay for the autumn
series of orgies and new fiddle.
"Vyrai, truukite jungan," echoes the
Lithuanian of the present day. as he
and his fellow refugees shoulder their
packs and set out for the return trip
to the farms whence they We're driven
before LitlIuania had set up its pres
ent republican form of self government
This striking similarity between the
modern Lithuanian and the ancient
Latin language is no mere coincidence
applying to those few words only.
Lithuanian is the oldest living Ian
guage in the world today. 1t resem-
bles most the primitive Sanskrit and Is
probably older than Greek or Latin,

what the language originally common
to the Indo-European may have been,
