1 slice of tomato, 1 or 2 tablespoons

of fresh cut crisp shredded lettuce
(or lettuce "chiffonade"). The let

cutting. Over this arrange slices of
fresh ripe tomatoes, well chilled and
with the skins removed. Over that
place a layer of crab meat, not cut up
as for a salad, but left in large hand
some pieces, so that one can tell whe
ther one is eating claw or bodv meat

governor to be so good as to con
firm in writing the verbal pledges
he had given me. He replied that the
rumors relative to. the deportation
were void of foundation and he gave
me, without hesitation, this declara
tion In writing, which was read on
Sunday, October 18, 1914, in all the
parish churches of the province of
Antwerp: "Young men need have no
fear of being taken off to Germany
either to be enrolled In the army,
or to be there employed in com
pulsory labor."
Pleat to Von ar Goltx.
Immediately on the arrival of Baron
von der Golt'z as governor-general
at Brussels, I went to request bin
to be so good as to ratify for the
country at large without limit of
time the pledges given by Governor
von Huene for the province of Ant
werp. The governor-general retained
my petition in his hands to examine
it. at his leisure. The following day
he was kind enough to bring Mallnes
In person his approval and renewed
In the presence of two aides-de-camp,
and my private secretary the promise
that Belgian citizens' liberty would
be respected.

how painful the burden of my respon

Belgian families if the confidence re
posed In you by my Intervention and
at my instance should be rudely
shaken."
The governor-general answered:

only after two years of warfare, dif

jlour (to make a soft rolling dough),
a few blanched almonds if liked.
Cream the shortening, beat the honey,
and the well beaten eggs, fold In the
flour sifted with the other dry Ingred

you will not have to use so much
flour as would give a hard consist

little egg (a teaspoonful or so may be
left in the bowl in which the eggs
were beaten). Mix with a little
milk. Sprinkle with granulated sugar
or chopped blanched almonds or leave
plain as preferred. Bake In a mod

make about three dozen jumbles (or

Before taking space to give you a
detailed recipe for cinnamon rolls. I
should like you to tell me whether
you meant rolls made from yeast
dough or from a baking powder
dough. In either case the dough
(which may vary from "plain" to
"rich"), is rolled out, sprinkled with
cinnamon and sugar with or without
a little butter and then rolled up like
a Jelly roll. This roll is then cut In
slices about one Inch thick and the
slices are placed cut side up on a
greased baking tin. Rolls made from
yeast dough must of course rise again
before baking. Baking powder rolls
may be baked at once. A few raisins
or nuts may be added it liked for
"extra glory" but are not usually
needed If plenty of sugar and cin

this "hint" you will not need a recipe.

government, and proves, In a per

and antl-sooial character of the de

Archbishop's House, Mallnes, Nov. 10,
1916 To His Excellency Baron von
Bissing. governor-general. Brussels.
Sir: I refrain from expressing to
your excellency the sentiments awak
ened In me by your letter (1.100051)
In answer to the letter I addressed to
you October 19 regarding the depor
tation of the unemployed.
I have a melancholy recollection of
the phrase, which your excellency,
emphasizing each syllable. pro
nounced In my presence on your ar
rival at Brussels. "I hope our rela
tions will be cordial . . I have re
ceived a mission to heal the wounds
of Belgium."
My letter of October 19 recalled to
your excellency's memory the under
taking given by Baron von .Huene,
military governor of Antwerp, and
ratified some days later by Baron
von der Golts. your predecessor In
the general government at Brussels.
The undertaking was explicit, un
conditional, without limit of time.
"Young men need not fear being car
ried off to Germany, either to be en
rolled in the army or to be there em
ployed in compulsory labor."
This understanding has been broken
daily, and thousands of times for more
than a fortnight.
Baron von Huene and the late Bar
on von der Golts did not speak with
any qualifications as your dispatch
of October 2d seemed to imply: "If
the occupation does not last -more
might write again and tell me about
how many eggs to two cups flour you
want for the "foundation cake." Of
course one can make a fairly accept
able nice light cake with one or two
eggs to each, pint flour but such a
cake is not exactly "velvety." A very
velvety mixture that I often use
(when eggs are not too high), calls
for four eggs to two cups flour. Is
that too rich for you? You will find
the white cake given above very use
ful for a general foundation cake. If
well made It Is soft and fluffy
though not exactly velvety." The use

"Young men and still more men of
riper age shall not at any time dur

To justify yourself your excellency
quotes the conduct of England and
France, who have, you say, taken
from neutral ships all Germans be

If England and France have been
guilty of an injustice. It is on the
English and the French that you
Bhould have Inflicted reprisals, not
on an Innocent and disarmed people.
But has there been any injustice?
Imperfectly Informed as we are of
all that takes place outside the walla
of our prison, we are tempted to be
lieve that the Germans taken and In
terned belonged to the reserve of the
Imperial army. They were therefor
soldiers whom England and France
were justified in sending to concen
tration camps. Belgium has only re
cently. hat is since August, 1918. had
universal military service; the Bel
gians, therefore, from 17 to SO years
of age residing in the occupied part
oi Belgium are civilians and non
combatants. It Is a mere play on
words to liken them to German re
servists In applying to them the mis
leading appellation "men fit for mili
tary service."
The orders, publio notices, com
ments in the press designed to pre
pare publio opinion for the measures
being put at this moment Into execu
tion have placed In the forefront two
considerations. The unemployed, it
was said, are a danger to publio se
curity, they are a burden on the state.
It is not true, as said before In my
letter of October 19, that our work
men have upset or simply threatened
anywhere to disturb publio order.
Five million Belgians, hundreds of
Americans, are wonder-struck wit
nesses of the eelf-respect and unfail
ing patience of our working classes.
It Is not true that workers deprived
of workare a burden on the occupy
ing power or on the beqevolent funds
which its administration provides.
The national committee to which the
occupying power makes no contribu
tion is the sole means by which vic
tims of enforced Idleness are assisted.
These two answers have been left
without reply.
"Rescued From Idleness."
The letter of October 26 6eeks an
other method of justification. It al
leges that the measure, by which the
unemployed have i been struck so
grievously has been "brought about
by social and economic causes."
"It Is because it has at heart more
earnestly and more intelligently than
ourselves the Interest of the Belgian
nation that the German government
rescues the laborer from Idleness and
saves him from losing his technical
skill. Compulsory labor Is the price
to be paid for the economic advan
tages procured by our commercial
exchanges with the empire."
