COMMAND OF THE SEA.
What the British Fleet Has Done in
the Year of War.
H any one wishes to know whether
the British Fleet has during the last
year proved itself worthy of its tra-
ditions there is a very simple method
of arriving at the truth., Writes Mr. A.
J. Balfour, First Lord of Admiralty, in
the New Yark World. There are eev-
en, and only seven, functions whioh a
fleet can perform:
It may drive the enemy's commerce
off the sea.
It may protect its own commerce.
It may render the enemy's fleet im-
potent.
It may make the transfer of enemy
troops across the sea imposeible,
whether for attack or defense.
It may transfer its own troops where
it will.
It may secure their supplies and (in
fitting cercumstances) it may assist
their operations.
All these functions have so far been
succesefully performed b th. B
fleet. No German merchant ship is to
be found' on the ocean. Allied cora-
merce is more secure from attack,
legitimate and illegitimate, than it
was after Trafalgar. The German
-gehigh sea fleet has not as yet ventured
beyond the security of its protected
waters.
No invasion has been attempted of
these islands. British troops, in num-
bers unparalled 1 .history, have moved
to and fro across the seas and have
bean effectively suppmatets on shore.
The greateet of military powers has
seen its colonies wrested from it ane
by one and has not been able to land a,
man or a gun in their defense.
Of a fleet which has done this we
may net only say that it has done
much, but that no fleet has ever done
more. .And we citizens of the Britisij
empire can only hope that the second
year of the war will show no falling
off in its success, as it will ass-uredly
show no relaxation of its effoiee.
BAVARIAN PRINCE DOUBTFUL.
Thinks Now That German Victory is
Not Possible.
A French news agency is authority
for a statement that Crown Prince
Rupprecht of Bavaria is no longer
hopeful of German victory The
Crown Prince while conversing with
it member of the Reichstag who is vis-
iting the German lines M Artois, said:
"'1 must confess immediately that I
am no longer an optimist It will take
some time before the allies can ser-
iously affect our positions in France,
but the roles will undoubtedly be re-
versed in the end. The enemy's
strength and resources are now too
well organized. He is in a position
to hold the balan.c2 in his favor.

Don't Cry Over Sour Milk,
At this season sour milk is often a
source of unnecessary household
waste. Though sour milk has not as
Many uses as sweet milk, there is no
good reason for throwing it away,
since there are at least one hundred
delicious dishes in the malting of
which sour milk is better than the
sweet. When these dishes are wanted,
if there is no sour milk on hand,
sweet milk is often sourced by the use
of rennet.
rn the Southern States, where hot
biscuits are found on every breakfast
table, only families who keep no cow
or are unable to get sour milk use
baking powder. These sour milk bis-
cuits, when madeley a good cook who
knows how to handle soda, are not
only lighter,
flakier and more tasty
when hot than those made with bak-
ing powder, but when cold there is an
even greater difference. A baking
powder biscuit will be dried and more
tasteless two hours after getting cold
than the sour milk biscuit in two
days. Besides, the biscuit made with
sour milk inay be split and toasted,
and so made to taste just as good as
when first taken from the oven.
Besides biscuits there are numerous
kinds of griddle cakes and batter
breads, including those utilizing cold
hominy or cold rice, for which sour
milk and the proper proportion of
soda is to be preferred to sweet milk
and any brand of baking powder.
There are also two varieties of sour
milk pies and two kinds of sour milk
raised bread. In one of these corn
meal is used, and it is called corn light
bread. Doughnuts and gingerbread
are almost exclusively made with
sour milk.
In the genuine johnny cake baking
powder is not to be thought of. Only
sour mills with the cream well beaten
in should be used for mixing the meal
before the beaten eggs are stirred in.
Such a Johnny cake will be eatable at
the end of seven days if kept M a dry
receptacle. .Of course It must be thor-
oughly cooled before being set away.
For waffles the Southern cook re-
fuses any substitute for sour milk
with a pinch of soda, which, being
measured, means an even teaspoonful
of soda to each pint of thick sour milk
To get the best results, waffles both
light and crisp, the eggs must first be
1 beaten light, then the milk in which
the soda has been thoroughly dis-
solved beaten in; after this conies the
flour, also beaten in until the batter is
light both in color and weight.
Sour milk salad dressing whe
properly mixed and cooked cannot b
distinguished from that in which swee
milk is used. The same is the cas
with sour milk ice cream and of frui
cake. Chocolate gingerbread, choco
late crullers and coffee squares ar
all improved by the use of sour milk
So are sugar cookies and all of th
fruit breads in which Graham flou
is used.
The one and only secret of using
sour milk in cooking is getting th
soda in the right proportion. Fo
thick sour milk an even teaspoonful
of soda is sufficient for a pint of milk.
Where the milk is thin, which means
that more of the curd has been eaten
up by the whey, slightly more soda
should be allowed.
For whitening the hands and face
there is nothing better than milk suf-
ficiently sour to bite the tongue. This
applied to the face, hands or neck
with a soft cloth every three or five
minutes is a sure cure for tan, and
for sunburn where the skin is not blis-
tered. For removing tan and for
cleaning silver the milk should have
the cream removed.
Graham bread made with sour milk
in this way is delicious: Sift together
a cupful and a half of graham flour
and one of white. Add a cupful of
broken nut meats and a teaspoonful
of salt. Then stir in half a cupful of
milk and a cupful and a half of sour
milk, and lastly, add a teaspoonful of
soda. The soda can be sifted into a
little of the white flour and added last,
if adding it with the flour is easier.

Speed is Possible.
A year of war has re -discovered the A Zeppelin has a. rigid framework

spirit of British freedom. By the old, "napitharing" sections, each contain-
ing a gas-tight bag -a total gas ea-
. amity of 681,600 cubic feet. Over the
framework is stretched a heavy cloth
covering that is impervious to rain or
snow. Upper and lower decks furnish
surfaces that serve the same purpose
as do the wings of an aeroplane when
it is desired to drive to a higher or
lower air level.
The individual gas -bags are not fully
inflated before the ship starts on a
voyage. Slack is left to accommodate
the expansion of the gas in the upper
air. Safety -valves with indicators on
the .pilot's desk make it almost im-
possible for any one of the gas -bags
to explode, but six of them might
come to grief at one time without en-
dangering the airship, so great is the
sustaining power resulting from speed.
The "Viktoria Luise" is just start
of 486 feet in length and has a
breadth ef 46 feet. It has three 6-
cylinder Diesel motors with a com-
bined horse -power of 450. A speed of
fifty miles an hour has been made
with atmospheric conditions normal.
If, by some rare accident, two of its
motors should be rendered useless,
the third would be sufficient to give
headway against a twenty -seven -mile

Haecker, who commanded
the "Viktoria Luise" in the trip from
Dusseldorf to Berlin, has little fear of

Age of Heroism and the Cycle of

States which we *call the Empire has

blast of cannon.
The year ends with a passionate
protest from Emperor 'William that
he did not will this war. Yet he is
the responsible Governor of Germany,
the final authority for every national
act. He is as much an absolute mon-
arch as any Oriental in the history of
Islam. In the face of facts that will
damn Germany for generations, in
the face of records which cannot be
denied, the Emperor is willing to lie

to himself. He will find out the mean-

lie is unbelievable."
In emphasizing the extraordinary

History does not record any exploits
of savagery which approach the rape
of Belgium. They talk still in Ant-

from Vise to Louvain, from Aerschot
to Dinant, from Dinant to Ypres. It
touched at Scarborough and off Kin-
sale, where the Lusitania took her
plunge. By these acts of hellish lust
and infernal cruelty, utterly divorced
from the business of fighting, the
German army is dishonored for all
time, and the stain on the name of
Hohenzollern is fixed forever.
We find after a year of 'war a tem-
per in the Allies which prevents any
inconclusive peace, a determination to
strain every nerve to bring this Chaos
to a satisfactory end, It is already
apparent that only by wholesale
slaughter can this end be achieved.
The price is appalling, but it must be
paid for the sake of generations to
come and for the sake of the genera-

Five German Agents Have Met Death
in Englaud Since the
War Began.
Immediately upon the outbreak of
• the European war there developed in
all the belligerent countries a fever_
• ish spy mania, Thousands of harm-
less citizens of neutral countries were
arrested "on suspicion," their bag-
gage was searched and in many cases
they were subjected to maltreatment.
On November 6, 1914, Karl Hans
Lody, an officer in the German naval
reserve and for years employed Man
American firm promoting travel, was
shot in the Tower of London, having
been convicted of communicating im-
portant military information to the
German Government. He refused to
the last to say a single word concern-
ing his activities and took the secret
of his espionage career with him to
the grave.
• The second execution in the Tower
was attended by much mystery, the
name of the condemned man never
having been revealed. He was shot
on March 5. Shortly after this three
Germans were arrested by Scotland
Yard men. Their names were Muel-
ler, Hahn, and Kuepferle. All were
convicted by a gourt-rnartiaj of hav-
ing. sent military secrets to a German
espionage agency in Holland. Muel-
ler was executed on June 23, Hahn
was sentenced to seven years of penal
servitude, and Kuepferle was sen-
tenced to death. On May 20, the day
before he was to be put to death, in
the Tower, Kuepferle hanged himself
in his cell.
Tells of Passport Francis.
Found guilty by a court-martial of
having sent details about the move-
ments of the British fleet to the Ger-
man Admiralty, Robert Rosenthal was
shot in the Tower on July 16 last.
Rosenthal was caught red-handed. He
had in his possession what appeared
to be a genuine American passport is-
sued by the embassy in Berlin. In a
full confession he is said to have as-
serted that Capt. von Prieger of the
German Admiralty had a complete
outfit for the issuing of frdodulent
American passports. Many incrimin-
ating documents, including a cipher
code, were found in Rosenthal's bag-
gage.
In the first month of the war a
German spy was convicted in Paris
of obtaining data concerning the Eiffel
Tower wireless connections for the
purpose of sending it to Germany.
In Petrograd a court-martial on
April 3 last sentenced to death Col.
leriasoyedoff as a German spy. The
Russian officer was hanged. To him
was attributed the disaster in the.
Mazurian Lakes to the Tenth Russian
Army Corps. He had several accom-
plices, who were caught.
Belgians Shot as Spies.
The German authorities in Belgium
early in June arrested seventeen Eng-
lishmen and Belgians who were said
to have communicated information re-
garding the movements of troops on
the Belgian railways to Feance.
Eleven of the prisoners were shot and
six were sentenced to long terms of
penal servitude.
It was the German information ser-
vice along the coast of South America
that was able to keep Admiral von
Spee, commanding the German squad-
ron, informed of every move made by
the British squadron that the Scharn-
horst and her companion later de-
stroyed.
To meet this thoroughly organized
system of the German information
service successfully Great Britain has
exerted immense efforts in building up
a similar system. It was cabled on
the authority of a high British officer
recently that the British Admiralty
knew in advance of the proposed Ger-
man raid on Scarborough, and even
he name of every German ship in
the expedition.
The mysterious explosion on the
French liner La Touraine, resulting
in a fire imperilling hundreds of pas-
sengers, was ascribed to the work of
a German spy. Arrests were made
and the inquiry is still under way.
Israel Zangwill, historian ef the
Jewish race, points out that only the
Jews who are in America have es-
caped the war. Ten million Jews are
engaged in the war, three million of
them in Poland alone.
Twenty t.heusand Jews are flghting
for England, 50,000 for Germany, 170,-
000 for Austria, 350,000 for Russia, and
2,500 for Serbia.
The French Zouaves are twenty per
cent. Jews. Jewish soldiers and sail-
ors also come from Morocco and Tri-
poli, Australia, New Zealand, Canada
and South Africa.
