BILL GROWS BEARD
 AND FIRES BARBER
Last Duty Is to Cut Counts Hair and Introduce Vil-
 lage T0nsOrial Artist
By Associated Peess


 Armerongen, Thursday, January %. The former German Emperor's barber returned to Berlin today, his servise be- ing no longer required. Count William Hohenzollern having definitely decided to wear full beard always. Two other personal attendants accompanied him homeward.
 The barber, whose name is Otto Kruger. has been for several years in close attendance upon the former mon arch, accompanying him on every jour ney and shaving him daily. His last duty today was to cut Count Hohenzol- lern's hair and then introduce the vil- lage barber of Amerongen who will in the future be entrusted with this sery- ice.
 The entire German personnel is grad ualIy disappearing but Count Marshal Gontard remains, as does also General Won Esdorff, Count Hohenzollern's close friend, as we'll as Capt Sigurd Won Ilsemann, his private secretary General Von Esdorff has leased a house just outside the Won Berntinck castle, which he will soon occupy, thus indicating his intention to continue here.
 Since the setting in of the severe frost, which covered both meats sur rounding the castle with ice, extra pre- cautions to insure the fomer Elm peror's safety have been taken by the police Count Won Bentinck has given permission to the villagers to skate on the outer moat, but the ice forming on the inner moat is broken daily by the police, who are armed with car pines and patrol continually the ground between the meats, while the draw bridge is raised immediately after Count Hohenzollern returns to the house from his daily wood saving. To- day the outer moat was covered with skaters, some of whom obtained a glimpse of the bearded ex-ruler.

Paris, February lon July 20, 1914. the French government ordered it's troops to retire for 10 kilometres from the from tier, having heard that the German troops were moving toward it. Rene Viviani. former premier, declared in the Chamber of Deputies last night in the course of disclosures concerning the origin of the war which never before have been made public. NJ Viviani was premier when the war broke out
 Tt was on July 5o," he said, that the government of which l was the chief. decided that the French troops should retire eight or 10 kilometres from the frontier. On the same day I requested Paul Cambon, French ambassador in London. by wire to inform Sir Edward Grey of the measure taken.
 England, I said, will realize that if France is finn, it is not she who is talk ing measures of aggression. Although Germany has moved her troops upon her battle line the government of the French republic interds to demonstrate that France as well as Russia bears no re- sponsibility for the attack.
 These "reminiscences of the momentous days of the last of July 1914, caused the deputies to arise and cheer the former premier.
 NJ. Viviani continued:
 Could we risk murderous war upon the chance meeting of patrols? We de- sired to proclaim high before the world that if France were forced to fight she would do so for right and justice and not take advantage of any equivoca- tiO0, B.

NO OBSTACLE MET

The withdrawal was carried out with out meeting any obstacle either technical or military. Had we met with an ob- scrvs1ion from General Joffre to the eff feet that the measure might endanger the fate of the country. we should inot have hesitated, but would have kept the watch on the frontier. No objection came from the general
 NJ. -Nivianis speech was in reply to questions by Deputy Fernand Engerand, who sharply criticized the abandonment of the 10-kilometre zone. He claimed that it was a technical mistake because the mineral valley of Briey was within range of the French guns and had it been bombarded intensively for three or four days the German iron ore deposits and factories would have been destroyed and Germany placed in an inferior posi- ton regarding minerals. This, the dep uty thought, would have brought about an end of the war in six months
 Former Premier Viviani replied that the abandonment of the Briey valley in the event of war had been decided upon by the general staff in January, 1912 withdrawal to depth of 20 kilometres was first considered, said M. Viviani.

 For diplomatic reasons it is indispen- sable that no incident occur at the from tier No unit and no patrol shall ad- vance east of the line fixed"
 Nj. Viviani then read a message from A olph F. Messimy, the minister of war at that time. as follows:
 Tn order to assure English collabora- ton, it is indispensable that French troops do not cross the general line de- cided upon unless regular attack is made upon them.'
 On August ?, General Joffre, learning that r violations of the French frontier had been committed, telegraphed to Pre- mier Viviani as follows:
 The interdiction against crossing the line indicated is lifted, but for national reasons of diplomatic and moral order it is indispensable to leave to the Germans the entire responsibility for hostilities. rsequently, our troops will merely hold the enemy back and throw him upon the frontier without pursuing him be- yond."

THEN CAME WAR

''Then war was declared. The Presi- dent of the republic wrote letter to King George which was published in the press at that time, but the reply of the KIng is still unpublished. It reads: - admire the limitation which France willingly imposed upon herself and which so vitally concerns her military defense. "
 The former premier was laboring under great emotion and his voice was at high pitch, as he concluded:
 Tt is essential that the world know that in order to assure the peace of the world, we were making such a sublime SC crfice in uncovering our frontier in order to affirm our right. Do you think tfat great and noble America would have remained indifferent to such a striking demonstration of our good faith and that it had no influence upon her final de- cision?
 Upon the responsibilities for the war historians may discuss, but France by her withdrawal 10 kilometres away from her frontier has given the world proof of her earnest desire for peace.'

FOODS NO LONGER IN USE
Vegetables and Meats, Familiar In the
Middle Ages, Have Disappeared
From Modern Menu.

II the art Of cooking has declined,
II is in part due to the changing fash
ions In food. For instance, in Ger
many in the middle ages many vege-
tables were eaten which have long
since disappeared from the table, such
as violet leaves, mixed with young net
ties, and green wheat, and boiled hemp
seed. Salads were made Of mallow
leaves, celery roots. and purslane,
mixed with salt and pepper. for oil was
almost unknown. Olive oil was con-
sidered TO smack Of effeminacy and
Italian luxury. Horseradish sauce
was used instead.
The origin Of sauerkraut is lost in
antiquity. But II was certainly made
by the German hausfrau long before
cauliflowerS or artichokes or potatoes
were known. The potato revolution
lied the fare Of the poor, who had for
merly TO rely on the roots Of wild
plants. The variety Of meats was
larger, including beavers. and in Berne
bears were kept for food. Spices and
aromatics were much sought after and
far more used for cooking. Ginger
and nutmegs were used to flavor many
dishes that have now vanished from
oui tables. >.

WHY LAMB AND MINT SAUCE
knolish Writer Goes Far Back to
Trace Custom So Popular In
That Country.

Lamb is the only meat with which
mint sauce is partaken, and England is
the only country where the custom is
practiced.
The latter fact seems TO di>prove the
idea that 1t originated with the Jews,
else it would have been adopted in
other countries where the race predon,-
mates TO an even greater extent than
in our own. Hence, also, 1t could not
have originated or been associated
with the bitter herbs" which were
eaten with the Paschal lamb.
When one remembers what are the
vegetables usually eaten with lamb. We
get a clue 10 mint sauce And ii is
one that leads us 70 what Is probably
the true reason Of its combination with
lamb. New potatoes and green peas
are the adjuncts immemorial time has
led US to associate with the flesh Of
the lamb. These. our forbears de-
cided. were provocative Of indigestion.
and therefore an adjunct must he in
troduced 70 correct This tendency.
Mint during all ages has been asSo-
ciated with such an office. The Latin
poets have broken into song regarding
its merits. and the siver Of feast
never thought Of laying the meat on
the table until the boards had been
secured with this herb. So, in addi-
ton TO being corrective. mint had
reputation as an appetizer. Gerarde
says. The smell of mint doth stir up
the mind and the taste to n greedy
desire of meat."-London Tt-Bits.

Fraudulent Old Clocks.

The brass lantern clocks Of ths SIX.
teenth and seventeenth centuries have
made a strong appeal to collectors
and this fact has led to the manufac-
ture of replicas OF the old clocks
When these are sold frankly as rep
hcas. there is nothing to be said
against such a practice; but, unfor'
tunately, the matter does not stop here
and too often the attempt IL made to
palm off an imitation as genuine
old clock. Famous makers names are
added and various expedients adopted
to make the new clock pass muster as
an old one. Such frauds are deplora.
BILE from every point Of view, and the
ignorance Of many collectors makes
success possible. Every one, 1t is OBJ
vious, cannot possess genuine old
clock. 1t would be well If this fact
were faced, and the clocks bought
simply as reproductions, by all those
who are not in a position to mHke
reasonably sure that they are really
purchasing a genuine old English

ousckery Sometimes Effective.

Faith and foolishness will cure any
disease" says the cynic; and judging
by some instances Of miraculous whole
sale cures. there seems to be some
ground for the assertion.
There is the historical episode OF the
prince of Orange, for instance, who
during one of his campaigns, cured
those of his soldiers who were dying
Of the scurvy by a piece Of quackery.
With his doctors. who were In the
secret, he said he had procured a med
icine-really a decoction Of camomile,
wormwood and camphor-of the great
est rarity and value from the East 1t
was so strong that two or three drops
would impart healing virtue to gal
lon of water. The men took the medi-
cine with faith and cheerful faces. and,
so historians tell us, grew well rapidly.
