Selected Recipes:
Oyster Loaf.—Take the two ends
of a loaf of Vienna bread (crit over
an inch thick) and scoop out
enough. 3f the heart of each to form
a shallow box. Toast, it to as :light
brown and butter it while" hot.
Have ready bait a dozen. large fried.
oysters, piping,hY>t. Put them be-
tween the two pieces -of ''rot butter-
ed toast, With a very•thin elice of a
large, sour pickle, and serve them
at once.
Batter _11►14es,---Cut out the cores
and centres of one dozen apples of
uniform size. Place in abaking
pan and fill each apple with sugar
and a little grated nutmeg. Now
make a cake batter of one oupful of
sugar, one tablespoonful of butter,
one cupful. of sweet milk, two eggs,
two teaspoonfuls of baking powder
and three cupfuls of flour. Beat this
well, pour over the apples, and
bake. Serve with sauce.
Creamed Celery. Remove the
leaves and small' stalks from two
heads of celery, wash and cut in
half-inch lengths. Boil in salted
water until tender, While the cel-
eryis boiling. make .a sauce of one
cupful of cream or thick milk and
one tablespoonful of butter mixed
with flour. Boil the sauce until it
is smooth and thick; When the
celery.- is ready, drain and place it
in a die:h, pour over the sauce and
serve.
Pnrtrjikin . 1'ie 'Filling—Put the
pumpkin in the oven and bake it
until it is soft. Then remove the
inside and press it th"rou"gh -a strain-
er. This results in drier pumpkin
than that prepared in the ordinary
boiled way. To the pulp of .one
medium sized pumpkin add .a •quart
of rich milk,a cupful of, granulated
sugar, three • beaten eggs, a tea-
spoonful of ground ginger and :one
of cinnamon, a big pinch of salt,
and three tablespoonfuls of dark
molasses.
Creamed IJiee.-Soak a cupful of
rice ever night in cold water. In
the morningboil it for about ten
minutes; thenacid sugar to suit
your taste, a dash of salt, one cup-
ful of condensed' cream, and one-
half of a cupful of chopped wal-
nuts, and boil the mixture until it.
is creamy. Turn it into an earthen
dish, cover it, and allow it to steam.
This process finishes the cooking.
Serve it with cinnamon, sugar and
cream. Adding the condensed cream
makes the rice much richer than if
it were cooked in milk.
Owentlarw Corti Bread.—To two
cupfuls of hot, boiled hominy, add
two tablespoonfuls. of ]butter, and
four eggs beaten until °light. Mix
thoroughly. Stir ingradually, first
one•pint of milk, and then tine -half
pint of coat ;meal, making :a batter.
of the consistency of rich boiled
eustard. If it ehould be thicker,
Gadd a. little more milk, Bake in a
deep ,pan in.an oven that is 'same-
wriat -hotter a,l; the ,loaves than at
the top; so that the bread,may rise.
It has the appearance when cook-
ed of a baked batter pudding, and
ought to have almost the delicacy
of baked custard.

Capt. Stat ret. • Imprisoned . as Uri -
fish Spy, I'i'ied England
to Prepare,
If England had heeded the warn-
ing of •a brave and devoted officer,
Captain Bertrand Stewart, %one of
the first to lose his life when Bri-
tish troops joined the Freer& in
Belgium, the first -phase of the wear
might not,have been favorable to
the German "arms. Indeed, there
Probably would have been no war,
says the New York Sun,
Captain Stewart, itwill be re-
membered, ,was ;arrested in .. Ger-
many ab the time the German naval.
bi).1 of 1912 was in preparation, was
accused of spying, was convotrad,
and vas imprisoned for two y=ears
under the most rigorous conditions,
When he was .released he prepared
memorandum based upon the
knowledge gained in these ;two
years, of the hostility felt by Ger-
many 'toward 'England, hostility
artfully concealed but none the less
intense and menacing, and ,of Ger-
many''s intention tp• attack ,as soon
as a favorable xiio hent eaane.
Most of .the developments of the
last three months:: were predicted by
Captain .Stewart, who labored pas-
sionately to convince the. British
Government and people than Von
Bernh.ardi and= his kind were not
irkespc nsible madmen, but that
-they typified German sentiment and
German policy. But Captain Stew-
ar>,4'e opinions and advice Were re-:
jected. The Government and peo-
ple believed the friendly protesta-
tions of Adririral voo Tsrpitz, the
German, of Maxine, and
other agents, and slackened rnili-
tasy and naval ,preparationsat the
very time Germany was most ener-
getic: Captain .. Stewart • warred
England that he was cealtaam be-
yoad a shadow of a_ doubt from his
pea -Kriel observatioei,s that Germany
meant and wanted war, not peace.
He 'VI'is Laughed At,
- When the oar that he
predicted
came he did his simple: duty.. He
wenn to the front, fought bravely
and gave his life for his country.
But he left as a 1eg.acy to the em-
pire his private memorandum
drawn up `after his release from a•
wholly undeserved imprisonment,
From kris widow Archibald Hurd eh -
a copy of .the memorandum
and . descrabe•s its purpose in the
London. Daily= Telegraph:
Long beforeRear was thought, of
by . Government or public, Captain
Stewart wrote, inhis memorandum :
"Though the mass of the German
people may not"be hostile to us,
they are saturated. with militarism,
live in .a. statte'which°General Bern-
hardi discribe,s as "wholly based on
war," and are ruled' by a class
which takes as its idea the theories
of Frederick the Great, and would
be prepared to act toward us as he
acted toward Austria.
"That the ruling class aims at ea-.
quiring ,00lonies and money from
Great Britain. They arm also at
annexing Holland and Belgium,'
with a view deo leecuriag not only a
share of the wealth of these na-
tions, but in the English Channel
important bases for its future oper-
atione. To ' ace omp1ish these ' ends
Germany must have more sea. pow
er. As it would be obviously im-
politic for the government to give
these as their reasons for increas-
ing their navy, they state that they
only requireit for the defence of
their eaast lino and their commerce,
but require a large one because. we
intend to attack them.
Convictions at All Costs.
"They know quite well that the
facts do not support this assertion.
But to obtain the necessary money
they have to persuade the people,
the Reichstag and the Emperor that
Great Britain :has aggressive inten-
tions, To. do this trey have, as Y
hope to prove, recourse to all pos-
sible means. Experience has shown
that oases of alleged espiona•ge in
Germany can be most usefully em-
ployed:to stir up public opinion, to
influence members of the Reichstag
and to persuade the Emperor. To
this end they take steps to instigate
such oases to obtain convictions at
all costs and generally to use them
as a means of showing the supposed
hostile intentions • of other coun-
tries."
Rxaetly this happened in Captain
Stewart's own case. He was an
ordinary traveller in Germany,
seeking ordinary relaxation and
pleasure. He was saiddenly arrest-
ed, kept in jail for sik, months and
then tried. How the. German ma-
chine worked is revealed by his
summary- of the charges against him
and of his replies
First --"Comprehensive maps of
the North Sea fortifications were
found on the prisoner." (I. have
never in my life seen` maps -of North
Sea forttifieations, much less had
them found on me.)
Second—"The police found about
twenty photographs and sketche on'
him." (No photographs; nosketch-
es were found 'on me, and I. took
none and made none.)
'Never clear Forts: •
Third—"The prisoner was caught:
photog'raptbing the' forts' at'' the
Mouth of the Weser River at Bre-
merhaven." .'(I have never been
near these forts,. and I had no caan
era.)
Fourth—"He" was observed pro-
tographing the fortresses. (I had
no camera.)
Fifth—"He visited Wanngeroog
and the Frisian Islands." (I have
never in "my life been to these is-
lands.)
s-lands.)
Sixth—"Letters frona hig English
military •quarters to the prisoner
]J
were intterce ted.tters
p (Na(

me were intercepted.)
Seventh—"He excited suspicion
at Borkum." (A place I have never
been near in my life.)
Eighth—"His luggage contained
important map material as to the
German fortifications on the North,
Sea coast, with a. large number of
letters in cipher apparently ad
.dressed to the Britis admiralty or
to some superior." (This is abso-
lutely untrue.) '
• Captain Stewart offered eviden•ce
that the only witness against him
was a orisrrinal, a thief, forger and
blackmailer. The man received
liberal rewards for giving testi-
iaony. •
Had the warning been heeded it
is. at least possible that England.
would have been so fully prepared
that Germany would: not Tuve dared..
to go to war with France: At any
rate, it is probable that the German
military machine would have been
halted at once.

vocates with the roast of ,artillery.
Has mankind really" gone daft?
It would seen' so, indeed!
Already this war is too big for
comprehension. More than a bil-
lion of the eighteen hundred mil-
lions of people on this earth are al-
ready gat each other's -throats in
desperate earnestness; and over
thirty millions of the 51,500,000
equate miles of the globe's land
area are already involved.
• Nearly twenty millions of armed,
men --the flower of the human race,
strong and sturdy sons,. the best
that civilization can produce—must
go down in death or be turned into.
physical wrecks, to feedthe insa-
tiable militarism of the War Lord.
Was ever a picture of human de-
pravity, more real, more harrowing,
presented before in the long reach
of ancient or modern history i Tre-
ble•:tl e,riiunber of. igen leave been
killed in. the four months of struggle
than in the l;usee-Japanese war,
which lasted 576 days, or in the
Mnerican Civil war, which lasted
�?,45G days.
The destruction of property, the
destitution and suffering, in Bel-
gium alone, presents an unparal-
leled chapter in the misery of war,
and we have yet to hear from
France, • Germany, Austria-
Hun-gary, Serval., ,Montenegro and Rus -
slate Poland.
It will be years after this war is
ended before the world can begin
to underatand or realize theimmen-
sity of the destruction it has
wrought, and, in fact, is working
to -day. •
It is heart -sickening and bewil-
dering that we hear so little of
petace above the clash of arms; that
the weeping mothers for the dead
boys at the front, and the wails of
the destitute;, begging for bread,
fall upon deaf ears. Verily mili-
tarism., with all its horrors, its -sac-
rifices, and its crimes, is in the
sgaddie,
1iut Mr. Henry Van Dyke, Ameri-
oa's Minister to the Netherlands,
and the other peace 'advocates, have
not labored wholly in. vain. The
cries of the hungry Women and
children of Belgium, and of the
mothers in France and England,
and even in .Germany and -Austria;
in Russia and Japan, and in Ser-
via, are preaching the gospel of
peace in such thundering tones that
the great war lords are beginning:
to• hear. and to shudder over 'the
havoc' their unholy ambitions , for
world power have occasioned.
The militarists/have made it too
big already, and are alarmed at its
devastating scope. It has indeed
gone beyond their control already,
and. has stirred up the treacherous
Moslem with •their two •hundred
millions of ferocious savages, until
we hear tihe paradoxical slogans
from their barbarous throats: "This
is a holy war !" "Death to the
Chri rtna" ! !
The sitnsuation presents a• psyebo-
laggi•eal problem. What is it in hu-
man nature that induces the mass-
es, yes, even the friendly Socialists,.

It is said that °madams differ in
their conduct from asteam engine
by possessing a greater number of
degrees of freedom. Scientiats
have soaped this theory "animal tro-
pism," but itapplies alike to. ani-
mals` and. human conduct. •.It is
akin to madness in the moth to
rush to the lighted lamp. It would
n•ot be correct to call this a case of
"Pan
In the case of the human, it
seems to be the netting free of defi-
nite chemical sub stances by' some
agency like • those that cause the
complex of reactions called fear.
Setah substances, whatever they
may be, seem to annihilate all de-
grees of free action in individuals,
except in one direction. The con=
dition r,s little else than madnessor
Tera nity.
We 'all know how human beings
;are ,aroused to .action by the use of
,certain catchwords ' or phrases.
These words when uttered seem to
give rise to certain secretions in
the 'body, which, in turn, arouse
those physical alterations which ar'e
symptoms of '`passion," The de-
grees of freedom of action are
thus reduced and the person acts
only in one way or direction. - -
Those who know how to lead the
masses or to utilize them for epe-
cial ,purposes, first reduce the de-'
grees orf freedom to but one, and
that one in which they expect them
to act. •
Alt great movements in:history
.have been produced by the discov-
ery of means by which all degrees
of freedom but the one desired were
srippressed. Take the Crusaders,
they were rendered unfree by hav-
ing their minds filled , with the
phrase `Liberate our Saviour',
tomb from the Infidels." This is a
species of artificially produced in.
sanity. The unanimity with which
the 'Germans, Russians and French
rushed to the, front in,,the present
war h.as• a siilar basis. 'It is saicl
that. Treitschke, the German "Court
historian," first broke loose with
the idea, of the superlative value of .;
the Germanic race and civilization.
This was in 1879, and by the support
he received from Bismarck, who
was responsible for the outbreak,
the idea that the German .was the
Super -Teuton was systematically
inculcated into the minds . of the
young, To -day Gertnany is filled
with writers of a similar spirit
even the most enlightened of them
do not suspe•ct the •cause. The Kai-
ser had very little difficulty in work-
lagy upon this p,sydhologica1 weak-
ness,..and when he told the people
of their superior civilization and
freedom, and how it was endanger-
ed by the barbarous, hordesfrom
Russia, alldegrees of freedom..were
wipetl .out except the one to "up
and at them,"
The great dangers lying • in the.
fetich of racial antipathy and racial
superiority is now .assuming very
threatening ;aspects in Europe, We
.see it also in the TJ. S. and in 'Can-
ada when the natives refuse to
work side by side with "Asiatics," -
or ne ;roes.
But this only thrives on aloofness
and min-iaognaintanee, ' and the
great mischief of it lies in the fact
that the natives of each country are
oonvinoed of their own racial en-r:,•„i
periority over the inhabitants of all
ether countries.
Thus the hallucination of "ea
cial superiority" is assuming
threatening 'dimensions throughout
the world. This must be met by
proper education, beginning -with
the common schools, and by the
example of the war's devastation
when it is ended.
