Minister Defends X-Ray Gowns

ROCKLAND, ME-, Sept. 2T.-Rev.
Louis A. Walker, minister of the First
Unitarian Church of Rockland, is
hailed as the champion of the pre-
vailing style of dress by the women.
notwithstanding threats of arrest by
police in other cities against wearers
of the X-ray gown and the slit skirt,
the Rockland minister says:
ITO brand the wearers Of these
fantastic gowns as vulgar is an in
suit to a large portion of American
womanhood. The immortality Is with
those who see the suggestive rather
than with those who wear novel gar
ments."
Mr.. Walker is sincere in his own
suggestion Of binders for the men
who ogle women in modern garb. He
declares the proper censor Of styles
would be "a prim and ancient maiden
with ringlets."

At that hour the sea gate was

VITASHINGTON, Sept. 10
Wv The exposition to be held
at San Francisco in 1915
VIII be an international affair to
celebrate the completion of the
Panama Canal.
IL is an event of world wide
significance and Importance. The
United States undertook the her
culean task and carried It to COM
pletion, not only for the benefit
our citizens would derive here
from, but IN a broad and humani-
tartan sense, to aid the commerce
and intercourse of the whole
world.
The minor differences at pres
ent existing in connection with
the rate Of charges through the
canal should not interfere with
any nation participating in the
celebration Of this great achieve
ment. Especially has il been
disappointing to see that Germany
has refrained thus far from par
tlcipating in this great exposi-
tion.
We have a large commerce with
ports and exports. The very large
trade between these two nations
is profitable to both The increase
OF this commerce both in selling
and buying will be OF mutual ad-
vantage.
Everything should be done to
promote this increased commerce.
1t is believed the present reduc-
ton of tariff duties will benefit
both the United States and Ger
many. 1t would seem to me
wise policy on the part of the
Government of. Germany when
the United States, through great
reduction Of custom duties, is in
wiling increased trade and COM
merce with all nations, to avail
itself of the opportunity to share
in this increase between this
country and other nations.
In addition to these material
advantages accruing alike TO both
countries, there Is a strong senti-
mental reason why we would be
especially pleased at German par
ticipatlon in this exposition. We
have among our best citizens
many Germans and descendants
of Germans, who will always en-
tertain affectionate feelings for
the Fatherland
1t would be gratifying to this
large class of our citizens to have
Germany take a prominent place,
a place where she belongs, In this
great exposition and the celebra-
ton of the completion OF a Won
derful waterway through which
the ships Of Germany in the flu
ture will pass.

VIZ ASHINGTON. Sept. 90
Wv If the German people
adhere to their apparent
determination not to take part in
the Panama Pacific Exposition, it
will be a matter for sincere re-
greet on the part of the Ameri-
can people, aud in my judgment
result in substantial loss to Ger
man prestige in the great world
of industrial activity, in which
she plays so prominent a part.
This exposition celebrates the
completion of the greatest work
of many centuries. The building
OF the Isthmian Canal, cutting in
twain a hemisphere and shorten
ing the sailing distance between
European and South American
and Oriental ports, and the west
ern coast of our own country, is
of tremendous Importance to
every maritime nation. Among
these Germany stands in the
forefront. Her commerce will be
benefited immeasurably Her
trade viii feel the forward i'm
pulse this gain in time and less
ening Of distance means when
her merchants in the future count
the cost OF handling their con-
stantly growing foreign trade,
vast majority of which must nee
essarily pass through this canal.
The Panama Pacific Exposition
will bring to San Francisco rep
resentative business men Of South
America and the Orient. German
goods and German manufacturer
should be there to greet them. 1t
seems to me that this will afford
an opportunity which, combined
with the opening of the canal it
self, viii never again be ayaila BILE
for those whose aim is the ex-
pansion of their national trade
and commerce,
In view of the fact that this
country is enacting legislation
with respect to our tarlE that
broadens the field of International
trade intercourse, II is especially
advantageous for Germany ana
all other European, countries to be
represented at this exposition. Our
new tariff, in my Judgment, will
be beneficial allie TO American
and to foreign trade and to com
merCe. and those who are domi-
nant in the field of International
industrial activity will not fail TO
see the wisdom of being repre-
scented at san Francisco in 1915.

The bill repeats all treaties now

asked to maintain the status quo
