BY our own Wire. Publishers Press.
BERLIN. Feb. 16.-1n a statement
made to-day 10 the correspondent Of
the Publishers Press outlining the
policy of the German government fol-
lowing its victory In the recent cleo
tions. Prince Won Buelow, the Chan
ce lor. set al rest the fears which have
been held In other European countri -
that flushed by this success, Kaiser
William might be disposed TO meddle
unpleasantly in world politics.
To-day's statement is the first pro-
nouncement from the Chancellor since
the election. and the official announce
ment Of Germany's intentions has been
eagerly awaited, both by that nation
and the world at large. Every news
agency in Europe has besought Cham
ce'lor Won Buelow for a statement but
until favoring the Publishers Press
to-day Prince Buelow has steadily re-
fused
The Chancellor makes II very plain
that the election result has not swol-
len the heads of Kaiser William and
himself. making them an international
menace and that the peace Of tho
word is not threatened by their pres .
ent policies.
In his statement Prince Won Buelow
says.
1T Is entirely Incorrect 10 suppose
that the result OF the recent Reichstag
elections win produce tendency TO an
aggressive foreign policy on the part
Of Germany. If the government en-
tertained such intentions the financial

disregard its many special advantages
when applied to theater coats and
wraps generally. while. then, 1t is to
be noted that the sleeve of elbow
length-or rather shortness-can now
be discarded by all those who may
prefer the more protective and becom-
ing sleeve. whose career continues to
the wrist. and whose claims to re-
newed favor are at last being recog-
nized.
Blousea are of universal interest
and women are constantly needing to
add to shetr supply of these most con.
venient garments, In our large Illus
tration above We display a variety OF
patterns, from which helpful sugges-
tions may be obtained for the making
of these garments.
The special features of fashion
which vary from those OF the fall and
winter season of 1906 are the skirts
and the sleeves, both having become
considerably smaller. The ordinary
tailor-made mans sleeve is prominent
ly adopted ON the long coat. while the
skirts invariably fit closely round the
hips. and boast their little fulness in
the center of the back
The short skirt and the long skirt
are alike in evidence. and since each
may most successfully play a different
part. there is no reason that the
charms of both should not be recog-
nized impartially.
Although there is much talk OF max
ing velvet dresses with the short
skirts and long coats, l would hold
that. as general rule. the long skirt
looks far better in velvet. Nelveteen,
however. may have a success as a
short skirt. and besides these checked
already spoken. have met some with
blurred spots upon their surface. and
others with pattern of some conven-
tional design in fine black.
The models in hats all seem exactly
alike. invariably of the ben-shaped
style. the only alternative being the
beaver toQue, which has an upturned
hrlm. and is trimmed with couple Of
skeleton feathers or fanciful
mount of plumes.

Numerous are the tweeds in stripes.
