' r Down through the dim vista of the years past comes the memory of-sweet potato pudding of fifty years ago. Of course there are puddings now, but they have lost their savor. There is too much of the twentieth century about them—too much sugar, condiments and the cooking range. The only sweet potato pudding worth while was sweet ened with cane syrup, seasoned with orange peel and cooked in an open fire-place, in an iron spider, with a fire of corn-cobs. The sun had not melted the morning frost -when Mother and the boy began collecting ma terial for a pudding for dinner. The boards which closed the door of the sweet jfotato bank were stuck with ice and the ground around was crisply frozen. The boy crawled inside, pushed away the straw and handed the potatoes to the Mother waiting outside, who carefully selec ted those of the right shape and size for grating. With a supply, they returned to the log kitchen, where a big fire blazed on the hearth. The potatoes were washed, trimmed and peel ed ; then the grater was taken down from where it hung on a nail against the kitchen wall. This grater was of tin. in half cylindrical shape, with holes punched from the inside, leaving jagged protuberances on the outside of the - convex sur face. With one end of this grater in a large tin pan. the other held at an - angle by the handle on the end in the left hand, the potato was grated by simply catching it-in the right hen,I and rubbing it briskly mer the grater. While this was going on. the I— d-od watching, getting his reward-in pieces of uiicy yam. too small to. grate, after the potato Vfas worn away; occasionally getting a treat in a wad of succulent parts adhering to the grater, even winning the privilege of cleaning it off when the grating was done. With the potati ready, out of a draw cr in the kitchen table was * taken the nutmeg grater, a miniature repetition of the potato grater. In a receptacle at th. top. closed by a spring lid. was a store of orange verage mind cannot conceive tk»tmrrora of subraarine ruthlessness of Prpin vandal ism froaP*%aading newspaper «*cet>unta, when thousands of^ples intervene between the reader and the scene ot tragedy. But with tfie com ing to this country of men and women who have seen theae horrors In all their nakedness our minds are impressed with the inhumanity of the Hun and the absolute necessity for curb ing his power for all time that the world may safely dwell in peace. In his address to a Savannah audience Tues day night, Hon. Wesley Frost, American Con sul at Queenstown during the first years of tha war. drew for his hearers a blood-curdling pic ture of the staggering horror of the German campaign of submarine warfare as it came di rectly under his observation.

Then it jras set in the spider to cook, with a slow fire underneath and on the lid. When the pudding came to the table at noon it was a feast in itself.

Around the edges and over the top. the juices of the potato and syrup had candied: from the mass, dark brown, almost black, arose the delicious odors of orange, spice and nutmeg; even as you ate. in wholesouled enjoyment, occasionally you would find a delicious bit of orange peel, too small to grnte-a,nd thrown in for good measure.

But from a standpoint of military strategy the city, is *not -worth much to the British as Jaffa or half a dozen other points captured while enroute to Jeru salem. It was reported at /one time that the German* had fortified the four principal points of approch to Jerusalem, probably with an eye to its ultimate possession. The hospital the Germans bailt on the Mount of Olives, which commanded the city, was thought by many to be a fort, as was a building outside the Damas cus gate, the German church near the center of the city and a hospice and church on a hill which tradition regards as Mount Zion.
