HORROR ON THE RHINE.

SIT is impossible to study the Negro
occupation and believe that the pres
ence of black troops constitutes CON
stant terror and IL horror to the Ger
mans. The crime is rather against the
black troops themselves than against
the Germans. They are virtually
slaves forced to military service in II
cause in which they have no interest
and which they do not understand.
Thus writes Lewis Cannett from
Mainz. Germany, after careful first
hand study. His article appears in
THE NATION for May %. About the
Horror on the Rhine" German of
ficialS told Mr.. Gunnett that this pro-
paganda was commercial enterprise
conducted for profit" The article
censures the conditions of the occupa-
tion, and describes in detail not only
the conduct of the black troops on the
Rhine but that of the white troops as
well.
THE NATION publishes in the same
issue the complete teNt-of the Haitian
Memoir to the United States describ-
ing the atrocities perpetrated by the
military occupation of the Republic of
Haiti and concluding in part:
1t is the most terrible regime of mill
tary autocracy which has ever been
carried on in the name of the great
American democracy.
The Haitian people, during these
past five years, has passed through
such sacrifices, tortures, distinctions,
humiliations and misery as have never
before been known in the course of its
unhappy history.
The American government, in spite
of the attitude of wisdom, moderation
ana even submission which it has al
WAYS found in dealing with the Halt
ian government, has never lived up to
any of the agreements which it had
solemnly entered into with regard to
the Haitian people.
The Haitian people is entitled 10
for the wrongs and injuries
committed against it.
The great American people can only
honor themselves and rise in universal
esteem by hastening the restoration OF
Justice of all the justice due weak
and friendly nation which the agent OF
its government have Systematically
abused.

Electricity Is the HOme's Most Energetic Servant

is a small, portable oven suitable for all requirements of the small family and very useful where kitchen space is limited as in city apartments. This little oven, in addition to the regular oven duties of roasting, baking and broiling, can be converted into an ele6- tric fireless cooker. One of the great drawbacks of the ordinary fireless cooker has been the heating of the stones and getting them into the well of the cooker and the partial cooking of foods beforehand on a stove of some kind
 This new oven has a stone fixed in the bottom of the oven with 330- watt heating element over it, while above on supporting racks is an additional 3SO-watt unit This is removable when the oven is being used as a cooker. A very new feature is an outside top ele- ment for boiling small quantities of water. After the oven processes have been completed and the current switched off entirely, the boiler clement can then be used for the making of tea or coffee. Thus the oven takes care of all the cookery processes within certain limits, and will even lift water to boiling point, one quart in eight or nine minutes. it is claimed, to boiling point with full heat on. The size Of the oven is 161zx14Hx12.

MANY USESFOR
 EJECT RICITY

The New York Electrical exposition opened in Grand Central palace. New York city on Oct. and continued for ten days. Three floors of the big palace were filled with displays illustrating the thousand and one uses of electricity in home, office. store and factory.
 Of special interest was the servant less household wherein electrical labor savers and appliances either perform or greatly tighten the labor of every household task from laundry to nurs- cry. A visit to this particular section established the impression that the only general houseworlSer left is elec- tricity.
 A therapeutic exhibit demonstrating the many beneficial uses of electricity in the doctors office and in hospitals was another interesting feature. Much progress has been made recently in the development of the wireless telephone and this exhibit attracted a great deal of attention.
 The third floor of the Palace was given over to a series of working ex- hibits where the employment of elec- tricity in many industries was demon strated in an interesting manner.

OLD CREST MILL MAKING MONEY
 WITH NE W POWER

More than l50 years ago a log dam was built at Leesville, Conn. to pro- vide water power for the saw and grist mills of the early settlers. The advent of the railroads and steam pow CT drew industry away from the small tidal tributaries of the Connecticut river until the little settlement of Leesville was without any industry.
 Then the bankrupt mill owner, who was almost as unversed in the won- ders of electricity, as other people at that time, belted a dynamo to the idle water wheel and provided some elec- tric lighting service. Then came the technically, commercially trained spe- cialist who developed the business which soon expanded to all adjacent towns giving better and better service until handsome new power house be- came a war time necessity.
 The company's securities are regu- larly sold to its customers and as in fairy stories those who dared to take the bankrupt abandoned electric light company seven years ago are now re- ceiving a substantial reward for their skill and their courage. This is the true story of the old East Haddam Electric Light company, now known as the Central Connecticut Power and Light company.

Lobster a. Ia Newburg for party of six, prepared in electric chafing dish. Select two Holsters of 2 pounds each.

HUT WATER |S
 INDISPENSABLE

Plenty of hot water in the home is indispensable for the washing of clothes, the dishes, for use in the bath room and in the kitchen. The water IS heated generally in boiler in the Kitchen or in the coils of a water heater in the basement and upon turning a faucet and waiting for a time, it runs hot enough for use. Heating water by means of electricity is the latest achievement of this progressive age.
 For some thirty odd years it has been possible to obtain light by merely turn ing on switch, now it is possible to obtain hot water the same way. An instantaneous electric water heater comprises a cylinder body of porcelain with g2 tubular passages from top so bottom. The cold water to be heated enters into the passage from the house piping, continues in circuit through the 22 passages from the last of which it is led to the discharge faucet. The passages are all provided with non corrosive electric heating coils dis tr1buted in circuit, the terminals of this heating element being connected oy a snap switch to the source of cur rent supply. When the water flows through the porcelain passages it pass eS directly over the heating element.
 Physicians, hospitals, factories, of fices. buildings, stores, hotels, trains. steamships, homes with kitchen. bath. laundry all require hot water and the instantaneous electric water heater pro- Vldes simple means of obtaining if.

SUGAR MILLS ARE
 NOW OPERAT|N
 ELECTRICALLY

One of the most important steps of progress in the cane sugar industry has been the installation of electric drive in all departments of the fac tory, or central" the name used in all the Spanish countries. Central Amistad located in Cuba was the first cane sugar mill to be completely cleo trified. The cutting of the Cuban cane begins early in December and the op- eration of the sugar mills must be con- tinuous day and night for about 150 days. Time lost due to breakdowns or to any cause whatever cannot be made up as the operating season is limited by the rainy season, which makes it impossible to cut the cane or haul it from the fields.
 As in all innovations, 1t took some time to convince sugar mill owners of the evident advantages of electric drive. It was only after the electric system had convincingly proved its su- periority, that the steam engines were removed and electric motor drive per manently installed throughout the plant for all machines, pumps and aux diaries. Some of the advantages are Increased extraction of sucrose and a consequent greater production of su- gar. greater economy in fuel greater ease of operation and decreased cost of manufacture.
