Raider Of High Seas, Limped
Into Newport News
DESTROYED ^TALLIED SHIPS
Great Nord Deitchcr Lloyd Protected
Liner Hai Sunk Many French
And English Boats
Newport News.—The German con
verted cruiser Kronprinz Wilhelm, an
other of those elusive raiders of com
merce In the south seas, slipped Into
tills port and asked for fuel and pro
visions. Many times reported de
stroyed, the former North German
Lloyd liner evaded hostile warships
for eight months while she sent fif
teen enemy merchantmen to (ho bot
tom, and her officers say she wns
forced to steal her way through a
fleet of four allied cruisers off this
coast in order to reach this refuge.
When she dropped anchor off Old
Point the Kronprinz Wilhelm had less
than twenty-five tons of coal and
scanty provisions for the crew of 600
men and sixty-one prisoners from
British merchant ships sunk in the
South Atlantic.
Tlie drab painted 15,000-ton cruiser
Came with a record of fifteen mer
chant ships of the enemy captured,
fourteen of them sunk, nine British,
four French and one Norwegian. Tho
British ship Chasehlll, captured, was
allowed to proceed, taking to shore
more than 300 prisoners from previ
ous raids.
GERMANS PREFER CHARGES
Teutons Declare United States Ig Not
Maintaining Strict Neutrality.
Reply Will Be Sent
Washington.—Count von Bernstorff,
the German ambassador, made public
the text of the note he recently pre
sented to the state department de
claring that “if the American people
desire to observe true neutrality they
will find means to stop the .exclusive
exportation of arms to one side, or
at least to use this export trade as
a means to uphold the legitimate trade
with Germany, especially the trade in
foodstuffs.’’
The memorandum was prepared at
the German embassy, and while it
does not call for a reply, the state de
partment already has drafted one
which will be delivered probably with
in the next few days.
The ambassador, in his complaint,
informs the United States that con
trary to the real spirit of neutrality,
an enormous new industry of war ma
terial of every kind is being built up
in this country and that this is "sup
plying only Germany’s enemies, a fact
which is in no way modified by the
purely theoretical willingness to fur
nish Germany as well as if it were
possible.”

foreign affairs permit. The date is
still uncertain. The president’s ad
visers, it has become known, are anx
ious for him to make ‘a number’of
speeches in different parts, of the
•county before the next congress
meets.
Friends of the president say the
contemplated trip cannot he called a,
"campaign lodr,” and they are pre
venting, ns far as possible, the forma
tion of "Wilson clubs,” to avoid even
the appearance of starting a boom
Although political advisers of Mr.
Wilson say privately they have
doubt that lie will be renominated, It
was indicated that there will be' no
formal launching of his candidacy, as
such a step might embarrass him In
carrying out the policies of his adi-
mtnlstratlon.

Washington.—Sixteen Latin-Ameri-
can republics had accepted President
Wilson’s invitation to attend the Pan-
American financial conference here

Cuba and Salvador already had ac
cepted".
Further Wrangle Over Treaty

of the Japanese demands on China—

concessions and railway pledges re
ceived from China—was reached in
the discussion at the conference be
tween tile Japanese minister to Chi
na, Mr. Hioki, and Pekin government
officials. Article five of group five
roads: “China agrees to Japan's right

French Market Coffee

is best for this climate
TN the coffee growing countries, good coffee, roasted

sity, a healthful stimulant to aid digestion. Hot climates
create a desire for stimulants, and the one great healthful,
stimulating drink is coffee, not the ordinary roasts of coffee,
but the rich roasts which contain no heavy oils, and though superbly stim
ulating, will not irritate the most tender stomachs

SOUR CREAM DISHES.
Among the women in the dairy dls-’
tricts the question 1b asked every day:
“How can we use the
small amounts of left
over sour cream .that are
always accumulating
from the cream cans?”
Here is the answer:
Salad dressings of va
rious kinds are improved
by the addition of cream.
It may be whipped and
added to a boiled dress
ing and make it a most rich and
tasty dressing. Simply adding sour
cream with sugar and salt to sliced
cucumbers or cabbage, with a dash of
salt and pepper, you have a most ap
petizing salad ready to eat.
Sour cream used as a white sauce
ip place of milk to serve with fish is
another dish not half appreciated or
known.
Sour-Cream Biscuit.—There is no
more enjoyable hot biscuit than the
one enriched by sour cream. To each
cupful of sour cream add a half tea-
spoonful of soda, using two or three
tablespoonfuls of shortening, accord
ing to the richness of the cream.
Drop Cookies.—Take a half cupful
of-butter, soften it, add to one cupful
of sugar, beat well, add a beaten egg,
two cupfuls of flour, a fourth of a
teaspoonfui of soda and three and a
half • teaspoonfuls of baking powder
and a half cupful of sour cream, mix
well, and drop by spoonfuls on a but
tered sheet. Sprinkle with granu
lated sugar and bake in a moderate
oven.
Gingerbread—Beat a, quarter of c
cupful of sugar, add a cupful of mo
lasses, two well-beaten eggs, one cup
ful or sour cream and three cupfuls of
flour. A teaspoonful of soda and a ta
blespoonful of ginger. Beat well and
hake in a large dripping pan.
Sour cream griddle cakes, gems and

The “Restful LuniJh.”
A custom observed by many employ
ers is that of serving the seamstress
In the middle of the afternoon with tea
or coffee and crackers or sandwiches
or, in the summed, with a cool drink.
This attention as well as the "restful
lunch” is sure to be appreciated. In
bad weather or even on pledsant days
if the family carriage or-the motor is
at the door or Is not being used, it is
easy to have the coachman or chauf
feur take the tired seamstress to the
nearest subway or elevated station or
home as the case may be.

The reasons for
Certain-teed Hoofing
Evpry. buyer needs the proper assur
ance,’ when • he pays for the best
quality, that a second or third quality
will not be delivered. The market
is flooded with too many brands.
Some manufacturers with poor facil
ities too often meet competition by
cutting quality. Some wholesalers
buy any old quality, put their labels on it, and
say it is the best. Our Certain-teed, label is backed by the
written guarantee of the . world’s largest manufacturer of
asphalt roofings. It gives each buyer the assurance wanted,
and our unequalled facilities for manufacturing enable us to
sell it at a very reasonable price."
These are tine reasons for
Roofing
We Invite every one interested to come to our *mUl^ and see how we make the
goods. We know that our Certain-teed Roofing is the best quality that we can
make. It*8 the best quality that can be made to last and remain .waterproof on the
roof. It is made with that one purpose in view. We also make cheap grade,
poor quality roofings to meet the demand for very temporary roofs, but the
Certain-teed label goes only on our best quality, longest life product. It is the
grade which carries our Company name and endorsement and guarantee—l*ply
5 years, 2-ply 10 years, 3-ply 15 years.
If you want the right quality and want to be sure you are getting what you pay for, Ins^t
on the? Certain-teed label. The price is reasonable. No one can tell the quality of a piece of
roofing by looking.nt it. The man is not living who can take three kinds of roofing of dtffc*''
ent qualities and tell with any degree of accuracy the length of time each one will last otf u 1 ®
roof. He cannot tell their relative values by
looking at them. Why take the chance of
guessing, when you can get the safest guar
antee on the best quality goods at a reason
able price.
If for any reason you do not care for the high
est qunlity—if you want a temporary roof, we
also make goods sold at the lowest price on
the majket, because we have unequalled fn-
of the entire asphalt roofing ohd
papers of the whole world’s supply. Our
facilities enable us to beat all competition on
price goods as well as on Certain-teed quality.
The difference betweeu the total cost of the
goods, the freight, the laying, etc., between
quality goods and price goods is insignificant.
Bis much better policy to cut out the guessing .
and let the manufacturer of real responsibility
insure you on all the vital points. He knows
what he puts into the goods and what they
will do—you can then insist upon getting
everything as represented.
