Washington, D. C.— Official reports
telling of the overthrow of President
Carranza of Mexico were before Pres­
ident Wilson and his cabinet Tuesday,
but the new turn of events was under­
stood to have been given only passing
attention.
Dispatches from navy officers and
state department representatives all
have indicated thus far that assur­
ances of protection to Americans and
other foreigners had been given by
victorious leaders of the revolutionary
forces, and th^re was nothing of an
emergency nature in the situation, of­
ficials indicated, that called for action
by the Washington government.
The question of recognition of the
new government apparently in process
of formation in Mexico may arise soon.
It was reported that plans for asking
recognition were being pressed by revo­
lutionary leaders. The super-dread-

Squabs and How to Serve Them.
First get your squab. The raising
of squabs hns become quite a success­
ful enterprise and they are not an
annoyance to the neighbors when kept
within their own domain. Squabs are
a choice morsel, boned, stuffed and
baked or broiled.
Game of any kind, so say those who
are authority, should not be washed In
water unless the gall bladder has been
broken. Sprinkle the Inside of the
dressed bird with plenty of black pep­
per and let It hang In a cool current
of air until needed. Then wipe thor­
oughly with a dampened cloth wrung
from cold water. The custom of keep­
ing game for several days after killing
makes It tender and develops a flavor
well liked by the epicure. White-
nieated game of all kinds should be
cooked well done, the dark-ineated
kinds are better served rare.
A squab should be plump and pink,
although there are those of a dark
color (this variety does not bring so
good a price). Squabs are In season
all the year.
Squabs should he drawn ns soon as
killed, the heads nnd feet removed If
to be served nt once. If the squnhs
are to be broiled, split down the back,
wipe well, brush with melted butter or
olive oil nnd broil over or under a
good fire, searing quickly to retain all
the Juices, lowering the Lent as the
meat becomes brown. Have cooking
ns many slices of bacon as there-are
squabs nnd serve each with a piece
of bacon.
