French in Clear-cut Review Refute
Claims Now Sent Out
From Berlin.

The plain facts are that in
August. 1914, the ultimatum. follow
ed by a declaration of war, was not
delivered by the French ambassador
in Berlin to the German government,
but by the German ambassador in
Paris to the French government. And
we must just recall in which cir
cumstances this was done.
AT the very time when France
and England were multiplying their
sincere and conciliatory efforts, their
proposals for conferences, their
schemes for mediation, Herr Won
Schoen, the German ambassador in
France, called at the French foreign
office and asked M. Viviani, then
premier of France and foreign minis
ter, to declare, within eighteen hours,
whether France would remain neu-
trail in the event of a war between
Germany and Russia. This is already
significant enough, and in 1918, after
the French cipher service had sue
ceeded in DECIDING certain German
documents which had previously es-
capped it's attention. or efforts. it be-
came known that the German am
bassador had been instructed to de-
mand as security the handing over
to Germany of the French eastern
fortress of Verdun and Toul, which
were to be occupied by German troops
for the whole duration of hostilities

TT is true that the German am

those extraordinary instructions
which would have too clearly shown
at the time that Germany wanted,
through such an unbearable humilia-
tion, to force war upon France, as, at
the same moment, France was calling

proposals that military preparations

1.-THE MAILMAN, AT LYCEUM.

Tonight is the last opportunity local movie lovers will have to see Ralph Lewis, Johnny Walker and their as- sociated stars in "The Mainmal," that great melodrama of love, thrills and suspense which has made such hit all week. The vaudeville bill also will be changed after tonight, but this bill is a treat for those who have not seen it. The Emerson Revue presents one of the classiest Irish ballad acts here in long time. Everything about 1t is Irish--music, songs. dances, dia- logue and costumes. For those who like to laugh until their sides ache there is Allen and Norman, in a com edy act that is entirely new. Their lines arc funny and their actions more so. Martini scores with the accordion and the Roma Revue gives some whirling Russian dances.
 With tomorrow's change of pro- gram comes Bryant Washburn and Mabel Forrest in "The Love Trap"
 Following Sundays double feature bill, Charles Ray in "The Girl Love" will be presented for thres days, be- ginning Monday. Other early re- leases will be Cameo Kirby" Mon ma Wanna" Judgment of the storm" and others.

CHARLES RAY AT CAPITOL.

In his latest production, "Smudge, released by First National, which IS coming to the Capitol theater or Thursday for a three day engage ment, Charles Ray appears as dem ocratic young Californian who, in the face of heavy odds and opposition defeats a practice which has caused much trouble in one of California's orange belt towns.
 A love story runs through the pic ture, which Ray regards as one of the best in which he has ever ap- peared.
 The supporting cast includes Ora Carew, Charles K. French, Florence Oberle, J. P. Lockney, Blanche Rose, Lloyd Bacon and Ralph Mccullough.
 In addition there will be a Keith vaudeville show that will be a riot as far as entertainment goes. The fea- ture attraction being the Bobby Pc der Troupe of 10 athletes; Adams and the Thompson Sisters in a musical treat, and the Clayton Drew Players in When Rome Howls." The other acts will be up to the Capitol stand ard. Starting Monday the U. s. Jazz Band will be the feature.

Only three days more remain in which to obtain tickets for the Morini-I.azzari concert at the Capitol theater in Hartford, Sunday after noon at o'clock. Realizing that it is not always convenient for some of the out of town patrons to make trip to Hartford, Manager Robert Kellogg. director Of the Kellogg con- cert series, under whose direction these artists arc brought to Hartford, has arranged to give special attention to mail orders and telephone requests for reservations, As far as previous sale permits he will try to serve re- quests when preference for sittings are indicated. There is an un- precodented interest in this, the third of the Kellogg concert series. due undoubtedly to the excellence Of the concerts previously given under Mir. kellogg's direction. 1t is im-
 portant then. that seats be obtained at once.

 Delicate Tastes
 Sage is not liked by many persons, but if used carefully if gives an elu- sige flavor that adds much to stuffings and sausage.
 The shallot Is the most delicately favored of the onion tastes While stronger in taste than the onion it does not leave the odor that is so ob- jectionable in the common garden variety of onion.
 And for the use of the woman who has little room and less inclination to experiment with seasonings, there are many excellent sauces and mixtures on the market that will make her soups and stews more appetizing.
 Just as a bit of salt is needed to bring out the best of any sweet, so a bit of sugar will bring out the flavor and juices of meats and vegetables.
 It should not be considered an ex- travagance to have a variety of sea- sonings on hand. for a little goes a long way and makes if possible 10 use many foods that otherwise might be uninteresting.

NURSING THE INFANT
Article I

The important rules and regulations concerning the baby upkeep are for some unaccountabie reason, usually given great prominence in the warmer months. Many infants arrive during cold weather and the problem of proper nursing is just ss difficult at this season as in any other.
 In most cases the mother has proper and normal supply of milk. If the mother is somewhat nervous, the supply may vary from time to time. In many cases such a condition of supply depends on irregular nursing periods, amount of fluid intake, diet and the correct amount of sleep and rest Again, the amount of milk sup ply may be reduced or influenced through fear, worry. fright. distress or sorrow. Painful breasts are usual ly the result of a break in the regu- lar nursing routine.
 The mother must carefully avoid all these unnecessary conditions, if proper nutritious nursing is to be carried out successfully. Too much importance is frequently given to diet, tonics and nostrums as aids in nursing and milk supply. Young mothers are prone to adopt many nursing hints and theories from those who are entirely ignorant in such matters. Look out for advice. If you really need advice, get it from your physician.
 Sometimes, if the mother is inclined to weakness or is anemic, any effort to stimulate milk supply is helpful Warm milk, water at the right temperature (about 60 degrees F) or weak tea, will greatly aid in such cases. On the other hand, if the breasts produce more than the child should have, the milk should be ex- pressed at least once daily. and dis carded, as failure to empty an over- filled breast often endangers the sup ply.
 The frequency of nursing must be determined by the individual as no two are the same. Longer periods give the little digestive system rest, while shorter periods seem to give regular, constant weight increase. Periods and weights will be given In article to follow

SEASONING

The seasoning of foods often de- termines their pa1atabienesS. 4 little bit different seasoning will change an appetizing but wholesome dish that is unpopular into one that finds favor with the family.
 Too many housewives fail in this respect of using a variety of condi- ments. Salt, pepper, onion and pap rika is about the extent of the sea- sonings at the average woman's hand. She shudders at the thought of "gar- lie in things" but it is just the faint touch of garlic that makes the club chef so popular with her husband. A "houquet garni'' means nothing to her and the contents of the American soup bag" are more or less vague in her mind.
 Shallots, chiyes and cheryil are but little more than names to many wom- en. Parsley and celery are familiar to most of us, but we never seem to nave them when we want them most
 Window Garden
 A pot of parsley and one of chives growing in the kitchen window will mean much to any woman, The ten- der shoots of chives. minced and add ed to a salad impart a taste quite different from the ordinary minced onion. Chives are rather stronger than onions and must be used spar ingiy and with discretion.
 A clove of garlic rubbed over the surface of the salad bowl before mix ing the ingredients gives that inde- f1nable something 10 the finished salad that every cook strives for, the pep that lifts the salad from the common place.
 A bit of garlic placed on point of mutton while roasting adds much to the flavor. The garlic is removed before sending to the table.
 If the leaves of celery are saved when the celery is dressed for the table and later dried. the cook is sure of q delicious flavoring for soups and stews.
 Soup F1a,oring
 The bouquet garni'' and soup Lag" are much the same. The first is a little bunch or "fagot" Of herbs Of two or three sprigs of parsley, a sprig of thyme and a bay leaf, majoram, celery leaves. basil and other herbs particularly fancied.
 The soup bag is a collection Of spices. sweet herbs and seeds tied in B tiny cheesecloth bag. Three cloves six peppercorns, six mustard seeds, three sprigs each Of dried parsley, basil, summer savory and thyme and one-quarter teaspoon of celery seed make good bag. Since these sea- sonings arc all dried. is there any req son why every woman cant add 10
