In January 1818, the United States font a note to Germany, through the Spanish foreign office, declaring It waa "deeply stirred" by reports that American prisoners "are being treat ed in a manner utterly opposed to ins practice or clvlllued nations." Such mistreatment, the note aald, must be stopped. Retaliation Hinted The secretary of atate added that the United States "could not but re gard with alarm" the effect that "inhuman treatment of American -prisoners . . may exert on public opinion in the United States," result ing "in an almost certain demand" (or "retaliatory measures" against German prisoners. Thereafter a spanlah neutral In vestigated one of the German prison camps containing Americana. He found that "treatment and disci pllne" were good, but that barracks were uncomfortable and some petty ojucer were iorced to work, In July 1818 Germany complained that Its prisoners were being finger primeo. and measured like crmv inala, The war department admitted this, explaining these measures were necessary for Identification, and did not oppose Germany's threat to treat American prlsonem similarly.

How ever, it tell Just why sandwlchea have grown Into such popularity The possibilities are almost un ending and from the original use for a quick lunch their uae h grown to Include the d a I n 1 1 e a t morael for tea and a "dinner sandwich" which la almost a com plete meal. Open- faced sandwiches are served sandwlchea a appetleera and aweet replace confection. The sandwich idea la even used in salad, meat and dessert arrangement, thereby adding great varletj in ap pearance and flavor to an otherwise ordinary combination. Today we shall outline suggestion for various groups of the sandwich family. Open-Face, fllnce this form of sandwich Is par ticularly decorative, and Its filling, open to view it Is usually served as an appetites or a light repast with tea. For appetisers, fish, finely chopped meat, cheese, parsley, olives and pick les are used generally. Highly sea soned butters, mustard, paprika, siloes of pickled onions, flowers of cauliflower, etc., art commonly used in the making of auch sandwiches The various seed are also sprinkled In or on the spread. When served with tea, the filling Is quit different and usually Is sweet. The foundation may be cheese but fruit or nuts are usually Includ ed. Marmalade, jam, preserves, can dled fruit, maraschino cherries, can dles or preserved ginger, and so on. am all suitable. filling materials. Com-: blnatlons of sweet and sour, or spiced with sweet ingredients are delicious and interesting. Some of the most. delightful flavors are obtained by just, such combinations. Open-face sandwiches should al ways be smsll. They may actually be quit unappetising If large and awkward in appearance. Rolled Sandwiched, The bread is cut thin and length wise of the loaf for rolled sandwiches. A light apread, either sweet or spicy as desired. Is applied and the crust cut off so aa to allow smooth rolling. The roll is then fsstened wtti tooth picks and covered until ready to serve. They may then be toasted or decorated, aocordlnp to the type of service desired. Tiny rolled sand wiches are sometimes tied with a baby -ribbon and served with ice cream or so me other light dessert. Lrge or heavy rolls are sliced and then toasted on the flat sides. O rilled or Toanted Jan dutches. This type of sandwich is especially good for a luncheon or late supper dish. Almost anv type of aandwlch may be toasted. The procedure ts to spread the filling on the Inside, or between, the butter being spread on tha outside. Then toast lightly In a toaster, grill or waffle Iron and serve Immediately. When bacon or thinly sliced meat is used for filling, the meat is placed a piece of toasted bread, sprin kled with seasoning and toasted un der the heat. A llttl muntard or relish 1s added and the whole covered with a second piece of toast. As ltd sandwiches may be arranged this way if the filling is improved by little toasting. ftalad Sandwlchea. Place- a lettuce leaf on the buttered bread, then add salad or a combina tion inch as la used for salad. Some times both rentable and meat or a combination of fruits Is used. Add the dressing and cover with anouher lightly buttered piece of bread. Hot fiandnlrhre. These are usually the "dinner sand wiches' mentioned above. A filling of hot food, such as creamed fish. meat or eggs Is served on toast with toast cover and vegetable sarnUli. Sometimes gravy is poured over all and plain bread used. Hthbon ffanrinlnhes. The ribbon effect la obtained by using varied fillings or light and dark bread in the same sandwich. A favor ite one Is made by slicing a white loaf lengthwise in four slices and placing an eg filling between the first two. plmtento or tomato in the second and parsley or reliih In be tween the remaining sheet. Corer all with a cream cheee pat and chili Then slice crosswise to serve. An; favorite combination of foods or col ors may be substituted. I Held In Kidnaping s i William R.

(UP) The nineteenth anniversary of the diplo matic crisis which precipitated the World War finds many American his tori a ns in print with books exon erating Oermany. Upon the basis of post-war revel a tions of documents a score of writ era now contend the Kaiser's govern ment was the victim rather than the instigator of the crisis. . Barnes, Fay Defend Empire "Germany Not Oullty In 1B14" Is tbe title of a work by Prof. M. H Cochran of the University of Mis souri. Harry Elmer Barnes In his three-edition 'Genesis of the World War," and Prof. Sidney Pay. of Harv ard, In his "Origins of the World War," also defend the fallen empire and its leaders. 'No person in authority waa guilty of deliberately working to bring about a general war," writes Pro fessor Pay. "Germany did not plot a European war, did not want one, and made genuine, though too belated. efforts to avert one. She waa the victim of her alliance with Austria and her own folly." Austria Is Blamed Pay believes Austria moat respon sible, but has modified hla Judg ment somewhat since LJuba Jovano vltch, Serbian mllnlster of education in 1914, revealed the Serbian cabinet knew of the plot to assassinate the Austrian arch duke three weeks be fore he was killed and failed to ar rest the assassins or warn Austria. "The only direct and Immediate responsibility falls upon Serbia. Prance and Russia with the guilt about equally divided," Barnes has concluded. "Next in order fei be low France and Russia would come Austria. Finally we should place England and Germany in the order named, both being opposed to war in the 1914 crisis." Others Had Ambition Barnes contends the ambition of French leaders auch as Polncare to regain Alsace-Lorraine, and the de sire of Russian officials like Sazonov and Ievolskl to gain the Straits, caus ed them to make a World War of what might have been only a Balkan matter. "The German lack of preparation was notorious," wrote John Kenneth Turner. "The crisis found German shipping In all parts of the world. On July 38. 1914, the North German Lloyd steamship, 'Kronprinsen Cecile' sailed from New York with s 10.000.000 of gold aboard. Halted by wireless In mldocean, she made a sensational race to port to avoid capture by British cruisers." ALL ABOARD!
