NEUSCHWANSTEIN ASTLE,
Germany, May 14.-American 7th
Army authorities have uncovered
over the reichsmarshals own sigma
ture-sufhcient evidence to convict
Hermann Goering as one of the big
gest thieves the world has ever
known.
Here in this gaudy, graystone cas-
tie, investigators found sheafs of
correspondence between Goering
and Alfred Rosenberg, minister of
civil administration in eastern oc-
cupied areas, explaining in minute
detail just how his men were to go
about looting museums.
A small fraction of the booty Is
here. Paintings, statues, silver and
jewels worth millions of dollars un-
der guard of the American 10th
Armored Division while officers be-
gin the long task of identifying
each object and returning it to its
owner.
Many From Paris.
Many came from the Rothschild
collection in Paris. Others came
from Kiev, others from Belgium.
Among the oils are Rembrandts,
Reynolds, Van Dycks, Bonheurs,
Murillos, Rousseas, Gainsboroughs
and Moreaus. Various objects
cram this castle to its attic.
But the biggest ind is four
page letter from Goering to Rosen-
berg, dated November 81, 1910, in
which the Luftwaffe boss raved
over the beauty of art objects he
had found in France and insisted
they must be brought to Germany.
Goering was so enthusiastic he
told Rosenberg he would place the
full strength of the Luftwaffe at his
disposal to expedite the project. The
reichsmarshal emphasized, how
ever, that no one should get the idea
the wholesale removal of European
art to Germany was for the personal
and private glorif1cation of himself
of the Fuehrer.
There were to be two museums
one at Linz in honor of Hitler and
another at place as yet undecided
to perpetuate Goering's memory.
The latter he proposed to give the
German people on his Goth birthday.
The bulk of the art intended for
the Linz museum is stored in a mine
near Steinberg. A complete map of
this subterranean vault was found
by 1t. James j. Rorimer, in charge
of fine arts and archives for the 7th
Army. For seven years 1t. Rorimer
was curtaor in the Metropolitan
Museum at New York.
Through records found here in

Are you still in trouble about that
precious sugar that is disappearing
so magically from your bin? Well,
why not use honey as a substitute?
When honey is substituted for
sugar, usually one and one-hah times
as much honey by weight is used as
sugar and in many respects if honey
is used very little or no water is
necessary. Less than one-fourth as
much water is needed. Less than
one-fourth as much water is needed
as when sugar is used in making
strip, depending Of course on the
quality Of the honey.
Try these recipes:
Apple sducs
Wash and drain apples. Remove
stem and blossom ends. Cut into
quarters or Fights. Place in kettle.
add a small amount Of water to keep
from burning and steam the apples
until soft. Run through a food mill
or sieve to remove the peels and
cores and return to the fire adding
~ cups of honey to each gallon Of
pulp. Heat thoroughly, pack into hot
lars or cans and seal at once. Process
for S minutes at boiling in q hot
water bath.
Grippe Sducs
Wash grapes. Steam without the
addition of water under 3 pounds of
pressure in the pressure cooker for
/ to 2 minutes. Force the pulp
through a food mill and grind the
skins and add them to the pulp. AL
low t~hree-fourths cup of honey to
each quart of the grape pulp. Heat
the mixture to boiling and pack
while boiling hot into sterilized tins
or jars. Seal and process in a boil
ing water bath for S minutes.
Succhorine Pickle Recipe
To l gallon of vinegar add a bag
of spices made of 4 bay leaves, 4
tablespoons yellow mustard seed, 4
tablespoons allspice, 4 tablespoons
celery seed. Heat gently, but do not
boil the vinegar and spices. for 10
minutes. Cover and allow to stand
for l hour. Be sure that it is thor
oughly cool.
Now, dissolve in this vinegar 100
half grain saccharine tablets and l
scant cup of salt. Pour over the Gu
cumbers which have been washed,
wiped dry and placed in sterilized
jars, churns, crooks or anything not
made of metal.
Let stand 6 weeks before using.
Protect Sheets and Towels
Your sheets and towels can be pro-
tected from ~hot-weather wear this
summer by practicing a few simple
measures. These household linens
are expected to continue on the
scarce list at stores for some time.
Air beds with extra thoroughness
in warm weather. After washing,
dry sheets and pillow cases in the
sun TO whiten and sterilize them.
Sunshine is one of the best and SAT-
est bleaches. Hang sheets and pillow
cases straight on the line, smoothing
carefully so that they will need lit

take them from the line as soon as
thew ere dry, because Tapping in a
stiff breeze may whip out hens.

Britain attempted to appease Hitler
it did not work! The United States

It seems to me that record should
be enough to convince anyone that
a-ppeasement is no good, irrespective
of how it may be camouflaged. But,
apparently the United States hasn't
been burnt enough yet, as we are
again headed down the same old ap-
peasement trail. This time, OF course,
it is not called appeasement. We've
become a little more high hat. We
now call it the international Bank"
and the world Monetary Fund"
However, no matter how you slice

Sam doing all the putting" and the
other fellow doing all the taking.
"Round and round she goes and
where she'll stop. nobody knows.
Among other things in our great
new program, is q loan Of six billions
or more to Russia, and perhaps three
or four billions to England. Or, stat
ed another way, we now propose to
buy ten billion dollars worth Of
manufactured goods and farm pro-
ducts from American producers and
give the whole works to Russia and
England. That's exactly what it a
mounts to as the so-called loans"
win never be paid-you can gamble
on that! And while this is going on,
the International Bank, the World

Sooner or later, Of course, this
sort of thing must be stopped as, be-

not wealthy enough to carry all the
rest of the world indefinitely. What
happens when it stops? What hap

few years after the end OF World
War I? That's what will happen a
gain, only this time it will be worse!
If ever any nation was in a good
trading position to get exactly what
Il wanted from the other nations OF
the world, it was the United States
of America, up to the time Congress

ton, for example, to say to Stain:
snow Joe, you behave yourself! Let
the little nations alone. Let them
set up their own governments and
actually have the freedom and self
determination we guaranteed them
under the Atlantic Charter"
We were also in a position to say
to Mr.. Stain: Were completely
fed up with your messing around In
cur domestic affairs. We haven't any
intention or desire to in any way
interfere with the manner in which
you run Russia, and we do not in
tend to permit you to have anything
to do with the way in which the
American people operate their gov
eminent; SO if you want any loans

Testimonial to
James Garfield Taylor

When one who we hold dear
has reached the end of life and
laid his burden down, it is but
natural for us, his friends, to pay
the tribute of respect and love;
to tell his virtues, to express our
sense of loss and speak above the
sculptured clay some word-of
hope.
James Garfield Taylor, upon
whose bier we now gaze, died
Saturday morning, February 10th,
at 9:15 at the Seattle General
Hospital. He was a Past Wor-
shipful Master of Harmony Lodge
No. 2, F. and A. M. Seattle,
Washington. He was in the
highest sense a man. He was his
own providence, his own teacher.
With him work was worship and
labor was his only prayer. He
depended upon himself. and was
as independent as 1t is possible
