Could This Be Lover

II. r. MI hardly think you are in
love with the young man, my dear,
even If you do want to see him when
he is not with you. There would be
more to your love than that IL you
really cared. You are not in love with
the other young man either. Be good
friends with both and tell the young
sailor that you are very sorry you we're
so weak as to let him think you cared,
that you like him and did not want to
hurt him, but you must not encour-
age him to think that you will cere,
for you will not. You were very wrcng
to give him the encouragement you did,
letting him 60 away thinking you meant
to marry him some day.

MANY inquiries are coming to me
z in regard to conserving apples
for winter use. Windfalls and sum-
mer apples may be canned, sliced,
stewed, as in apple sauce, or made
into thick puree, apple butter or
baked.
Sliced Apples
Pare the apples and then cut in
quarters and remove the seeds. Then
cut in thin slices. Place three cups
of sugar and one and one-half cups
Of water in a preserving kettle and
add six quarts of apples. Simmer
slowly until the apples begin to have
a clear appearance and then lift them
into sterilized fruit jars, adjust the
rubber and lid and then seal. Process
in hot-water bath for twenty min
utes. Then remove. cool and store.
Apple Sauce
Wash the apples and then cut into
pieces. Place in a preserving kettle
and add
One quart Of ,cdter
to every three pounds of apples.
Cook slowly until soft and then cool
and rub through a sieve. Fill into
sterilized fruit jars and adjust the
rubber and lid. Seal and process for
twenty minutes in hot-water bath.
Remove and cool.
Apple Jelly
Cover the peelings and cores of
the sliced apples with water and
bring to a boil. Cook until the peel
ings are very soft and then turn into
jelly bag and let drip. Measure the
juice and then return to the preserv-
ing kettle and bring to boil. Cook
for fifteen minutes and then add
three-quarters cup Of sugar to each
cup of juice. Stir to dissolve the
sugar and then bring to a boil. Cook
for ten minutes, pour into sterilized
glasses and when cold cover with
melted paraffin. Cool and store.
Apple Butter
Wash the apples and then cut into
pieces and place in a preserving ket-
tie. Add one quart of water to every
three and one-half pounds of apples
and cook until very soft. Cook and
then rub through sieve or colsnder.
Measure and return to the preserv-
ing kettle and add one cup of brown
sugar for every quart of apple pulp.
Stir to dissolve the sugar and then
add the following spices tied in a
cheesecloth. For a four-quart mix
ture:
SIG tablespoons Of cinnamon.
T11o teaspoons Of cloves,
One teaspoon of dllspice,
One teaspoon Of nutmeg.
Place the spices in the apple mix
ture in the preserving kettle, adding
one-half cup of strong cider vinegar
to this sized batch. Cook slowly
until very thick and stir frequently
with wooden spoon. Place an as
bestos mat under the preserving
kettle to prevent scorching. Apple
butter requires long, slow cooking
TO be a success.
Spiced Baked Apples

FIRST STEP TAKEN
IN PEACE TREATY
Supreme Council Calls for Re-
ports and Conclusions of
Commissions.

PARIS, March "a step toward the
formation of a treaty of peace was taken
by the Supreme Council to-day when Il
adopted the proposal OF the American
delegation to have tho various commits
sions present to the council their reports
and conclusions in the form OF articles
to be inserted In the peace preliniinaries.
The council also discussed the MILL
tary, naval and aerial conditions to be
imposed on the enemy.
The Supreme Council, after hearing a
statement by Jules Cambon, decided
unanimously yesterday to reject the de-
mands OF the minor Powers with limited
interests for greater representation on
the financial and economic commissions
which are about to be formed. The minor
Powers, especially those from South
America, followed Brazil In demanding
earlier in the week that the minor Pow
ers have the same number of members
on the commissions as the great Powers.
After two days Of futile unofficial con
ferences. NJ. Cambon laid the matter be
fore the Supreme Council. Brazil was
supported by Belgium, while Greece and
Serbia took the opposite view in the
discussion. The Supreme Council asked
the minor Powers to name their Ave
representatives on the commissions to.
day. The great Powers will have ten
representatives.

berger, chairman OF the German Armis-
tice Commission, criticised the old Ger
man Government severely for its poll
ces toward the Poles. which consistently
alienated them.
Herr Erzberger said that the treat
ment of the Poles by the old Govern
ment had created problem where
otherwise there would have been none.
He said that the present Government
was concerned with the situation In the
East as earnestly as its critics and was
anxious to help the Germans in German
Poland. The speaker said he wished
Germany had been fairer to the Poles.
The Government, the speaker con-
the protection of the German minorities
in other States, but II cannot claim
this right unless the Germans protect
the minority populations within Ger
many. Herr Erzbergcr concluded by
saying that the behavior of the Ger
man troops in Posen In November had
hurt German prestige with the Poles
greatly. He mentioned that in one in
stance several thousand German soldiers
and officers had fled before 500 poorly
armed and poorly disciplined Poles.

front is painted in blacklist colors by

PARIS, March s-The news from Ger
many continues to become increasingly
disquietlng and will. 1t is hoped, have
the effect of speeding up the work OF
tho Peace Conference. In connection
with this It must be remembered that
at each moment of the crisis between
the Allies and Germany since the sig
nature OF the first armistice the Ger
mans have had more or less spontane-
Gus popular i-Bolshevist agitation,
The renewal of Spartacism on this oc-
casion has been heralded by a violent
campaign of the press against the terms
which the Allies have prepared for In
clusion in the preliminary peace treaty.
How far the fresh disturbance Is
prompted by the requirements OF the
German peace policy cannot be judged
with any degree Q" accuracy from Paris,
but ono thing Is certain. that unless
rapid steps are taken to supply Germany
with food on a larger scale than Is at
present being done there will be the risk
that negotiators here may find there Is
none left in Germany with whom TO sign
a binding peace.
The question of payment for such food
supplies is important and raises the
points OF principle. Payments for food
supplied made to America by Germany
weaken the resources from which tho
enemy would be able 10 meet the claims
of the French, Belgian, Serbians and
Rumaniano for reparation. But the sums
involved are 80 insignificant when COM

ring to the future Of the Kiei Canal and
Heligoland. and as to the method by
which the future size OF the German
fleet shall be settled. based more upon
principle than upon fact. and French
reservations as to the destruction of the
German feet, there Is a complete agree
ment on the general military, naval
and aerial terms TO be imposed.
Such being the case. in the opinion
OF Marshal Foch at any rate, the pre-
limlnary terms OF peace ought to be
communicated to Germany so that the
German delegates may be able to come
tc Versailles. the place chosen for the
meeting, on March 20. and the actual
signature of peace might be fixed for

BERLIN, March (delayed) The vi
cinity of police headquarters In the Alex
anderplatz continued to-day to be the
scene Of recurring street fighting between
Government troops and armed Sparta
can rioters. comprising soldiers. sail
ors and strikers.
At o'clock this afternoon the troops
and policemen fired heavily with ma
chine guns on the crowds, which surged
back into Alexanderplatz after having
been driven off. Strong reinforcements
we're sent to police headquarters during
the night. including a field battery of
six pieces. Minor clashes occurred
there almost hourly during Tuesday, the
casualties being six dead and twenty
wounded.
At 10 o'clock this morning two per-
sons were killed In a clash between
troops and rioters in Huttenstrasse. in
the Moabito district.
The Spartacans have constructed bar
racades in several side streets leading
OF from Alexanderplatz and continue
to plumber the shops In the vicinity.
Herr Ernst, the police chief, asserts that
the strike wave Is receding and that
police headquarters is amply fortified
against any attempt TO storm 1t.
The strike situation In central Ger
many Is unchanged and a renewed eff
fort by the Spartacans to procure the
proclamation OF a general strike at Ores
den and Magdeburg has failed.

zens as a counter action against the in
