THE INSIDE STORY OF AUSrRO-GER-
MAN INTRIGUE. BY Joseph Gortcar
and Lyman Beecher stowe New York:
Doubleday, Page & Co.
A relation in full for tho frst
time OF the sensational stofy OF the
attempts OF the Germans in Austria
and the Magyars in Hungary to
start a world war, and shows how
they, aided by Germany, made three
separate attempts before they sue
ceeded. Here is also disclosed the
per1ured testimony. forgeries, and
diplomatic chicanery which the two
nations employed DR.. Goricar cx-
plains that the aim OF the war was
the conquest and exploitation of
Russia, a plot first conceived by the
ing the Crimean war. revived after
the Russo-Japanese war and finally
attempted in 1914 DR.. Goricar de-
votes much space to a discussion OF
tho improbability. of starting the
war had there been league Of
nations, and points out that as long
as the college OF ambassadors, a
purely advisory body, sat in Lon
don and gave publicity to the al
legged cause which Austria-Hungary
successfully put forth. II was i'm
possible to precipitate the war.
DR.. Goricar, himself a Slav and in
keen sympathy with the aspira-
lions of his people, was until the
outbreak of the war, a member or
tho Austro-Hungarian diplomatic
corps, and Is thus enabled to re-
veal the intrigues which led up to
the war from inside knowledge OF
the diplomacy OF that country.
The material for the book was
supplied by DR.. Goricar, who also
wrote the original OF the text. This
text was then largely rewritten
and put into it's present form by
Mr.. stowe. 1t In an Illuminating
record OF facts before unknown, and
as direct contribution of new
views should become a part OF his

They went back the rest OF the
way in silence, Leon carrying the

ahead of them; they felt exalted:
only the boy was his usual self.
Mamma Kantor tucked him in, with
visions of lined eiderdown

thrift in the use of foods witch
they purchase and are varying the
vegetable seasoning. One of the
best fats for seasoning a vegetables
dish Is sweet savory drippings.
Not all meats supply fats that
are savory in the sense in which the
word is employed here, but the fats
from fried sausages, ham. bacon,
and pork and from roast pork,
veal and chicken, may be employed
alone or in combination for this
purpose. Some fats have a flavor
which comes from the seasoning as
in sausage, from the smoke as in
ham and bacon. and from the brown
material as in roast meat which
is agreeable to the palate.
The fats SKINNED from the
water in which poultry has been
boiled and the fat skinned from
the gravies OF most roast meats
may be clarified and employed also
in a preparation of vegetables fo-
the tables. Great care must be
taken that all of these fats are
sweet and clean and that the tenn
perature at which they are fried
out shall not be so high as to i'm
pair the flavor. Burned or scorch-
ed fat is not only unpelasing in
flavor, but is a frequent cause OF
indigestion.
When rendering trimmings Of fat
meat, / use a small onion or shallot
(uncut), a few leaves of summer
savory, and a teaspoon OF salt and
pepper may DO added to make
savory dripping of pleasant flavor.
This amount of seasoning is enough
for half pint of fat. Drippings
should be kept covered in a cool.
dry place.

Abrahm Kantor should appeal to
him in the matter OF little Leon.
Advice where no money is involved

and the mother took little Leon

Tennyson's lines that things seen

Mr.. Ginsberg had his doubts. but

There were the usual prelimi-

violin and played. The eyes OF
Abrahm were on the face of his

enough to justify him in his visit.
