AMERICA WINS DECISION
 IN WORLD COURT CASES

LONDON, Dec 14.-The United States achieved a signal victory over Britain before the international pecu- niary claims tribunal when eight out of ten cases were decided in favor of the United States and none of the British claims against the United States were sustained Some of the cases were more than hundred years old and were previously argued by American and British lawyers of na- tional repute.
 The amounts involved aggregated millions. One of the most important claims decided in favor of America involved claims for damages by Bril- ish cable companies for the action of Admiral Dewey in cutting the Hong Kong Manila cable in 1898 and simi- lar action of American naval forces in severing cables in Cuba. The tribunal decided that America was under no legal obligation to make compensation which is remarkable in view of the fact that the executive department at Washington had al- ready recommended to congress that payment be made to the British com- panies.

TROSS roads are dangerous places.
In the Great war allied and Ger

where roads crossed. When n motor

lance wagon neared such a point, the
driver put on full speed and rushed
past in the direction he had decided 10

If you stood long enough on a railroad

The cross roads of life are just as
dangerous rs were the cross roads in
Flanders and France.
When YOU come 10 a parting of the
ways, make up your mind quickly
which is the right way to 80, and 80.
Sooner or later you will come TO a
situation where you can save yourself
a lot of trouble by departing from your
usual rule of truthfulness and telling

That IS a cross roads.

way TO turn, vacillating between the
two courses, the chances are greater
that YOU will take the wrong road-the
road of the lie.
Your first impulse Will be to take the
course of truth. You will know II is
the right road. Don't stand al the
cross roads. Go full speed down the
route you know is the right one. Next
time YOU come 10 n cross roads with
he same signs displayed, 1t will be
easier to keep right on going.
And If YOU select the road OF truth
YOU will come To fewer puzzling corners
than YOU will on the road TO lies. 1t
will be much easier TO stay N the
right road than 10 get back TO il.
Sometimes 1t is impossible TO get back.
The same thing will be true of every
road parting which you encounter. To
linGer there will be dangerous. To
wabbIe back and forth between the
two routes Will mean that you are
liable 10 be engulfed in n disastrous
chain of circumstances before you have
made your move. II is just like the
soldier who stands AT the cross roads
until n shell searches him out and It's
explosion destroys him.
The armies shelled all cross roads
at frequent intervals because they
knew that somebody was likely TO be
there, either because OF congested
traffic or because Of indecision as to
which way 10 go.
Chief among your enemies are your
own weaknesses and habits. They will
deliberately attack you while you are
at the partins Of the ways.
Do not loiter there.

goes a long way as q substitute for
gelatin, sago and rennet.
OF course in its preparation ii should
be carefully washed in several waters,
until every individual piece is clean.
Tie the moss in q piece Of cheese
cloth or put into a small bag, drop Ii
into the milk and cook for a half hour,
or until the sea moss is we'll softened.

as desired with sugar to sweeten. a
