Touching!Mexican Troubles

The plot is thckening down Mexico
way.
Madero is first deposed, and Huerta
comes in as ruling military governor.
Presto change, Madero Is murdered
and the country is thrown into con-
sternation.
Meantime. up north, the Washing
ION government Is watching anxiously
every step that is being taken In revo-
utionary Mexico. The policy of nom
Intervention is strictly adhered to, and
the hands off policy demanded of
European powers comes into special
significance.
And the all-absorbing question now
is: Will the United States intervene?
Not If the present administration
can have it's way. Wisely, President
Taft and his cabinet maintain that at
present there Is no ground for inter-
yention; the Mexican troubles are in
ternal and do not seriously affect
foreign interests.
But what the incoming administra-
lion will do in case the Mexican
troubles continue must remain for a
brief time matter for conjecture.
Intervention means war, and war
means the spending of millions of
money and the wasting of thousands
of lives in an endeavor to establish
peace and prosperity In the Mexican
republic.
No intelligent American wants war
and all that it would mean; they pre-
fer peace at any cost to be sure, but
only when all means for effective set
clement of difficulties have been tried.
The Mexican revolution of the pres
ent day throws most interesting light
on the relative Importance of the Uni
ted States. And this light is reflected
more especially by the English press.
The consensus of their opinion seems
10 be that the United States must now
step In and bring order out of chaos
There is not the faintest suggestion
that European powers are to NEEDLE
IN American affairs.
And that shows clearly what an ad
vance the United States has made
since not longer ago than 1898.
Eighteen-n eight is the great |
hegira in the history of this country.
AS Senator Frye used to put it: They
blew us up in Havana Harbor, and
when we came down we came down |
Everywhere!
We became world-power in 1898,
and to be a world-power is useful
1t gives the nation an opportunity
TO step into the midst of discomfort
aud bring peaceful settlements of diff
iiculties; it permits us to be leaders
In worldwide peace. 1t permits us
10 say to. the little Republic on the
south: It's high time now that you
quit this squabbling, that you get your
affairs into shape, and that you spend
your efforts, In social and industrial
betterment of your people. War is
thing Of the past; revolutions are no
longer tolerable.
May the warning be enough even |
though we may exult In the fact that |
we have become somebody in the
= eat array of nations.

MARKET NEWS

Kansas City Stock Yards, April
26. 1918. Fairly good receipts of
cattle and hogs came in this week
about $4,000 cattle and $4,000 hogs
which was slightly more than ar
rived here either last week or the
same week a year ago. Cattle de-
clined 5 to Is cents, and hogs Is to
20 cents, though the loss at other
markets was more. Dealers ex-
pect lighter receipts next week,
and for some time ahead, and
there is a feeling of confidence
that prices will hold up strong.
This is shown by the strong de-
mand from the country for stock
cattle. at $7.25 to 1925, prices
inquired here this week for stock
hogs. being willing to pay 10
cents a pound for shoats weigh
ing 80 or 90 pounds. That lshows
a strong belief in high p ri C S
ahead. Stock hogs are not al
lowed to be taken out of the pub
lie yards, but efforts are being
made to permit this through the
use Of hog cholera serum. If
that could be done, and dealers
believe it will be arranged with
in the next six months. Some
hogs f rom Eastern Arkansas
weighing PIT pounds average,
brought So 60 here this week. and
some common light hogs from
Mena s$8. 35. Mixed COWS and
heiters from Fl Smith sold at
$500 to $5.75. also a few gcalves
included, a single COW at $6.75,
odd head of steers at Sc 90. No
grass cattle are coming to Kan
sas City now, but packers here
would like to see some of that
kind coming; they are buying a
few at Fl. Worth, and shipping
to their plants here,

Latest American Fashions
BY CORA MOORE.

Ratine has proved worthy OF the FAVOR
the designers promised for it. 1t is prac-
teal and smart, and what is of particu-
lar advantage now, it can be worn upon
the street made up in tailored suits and
one-piece dresses. Blue is the color first
in favor, and there are the most wonder
full shades, embodying gray tints, green
and brown. In one or two one can almost
fancy a reddish cast without any sug-
gestion of purple. Marine, which is
deeper tone of peacock and softer, and
aero. which has an ethereal cast, are
among the best. Ratine can be found In
all the new shades of brown. gold. red,
green and rose. 1t is wide and comes In
different weights.
Navy blue ratine is used for the street
costume of today's sketch, which is un-
deniably smart, with it's gold-colored
satin scarf-sash draped down over one
hip, and it's amber glass buttons on vest,
blouse and skirt. The blouse. mas deep
rounded opening in front with edges
crossed just above the belt, and there are
rather wide, easy-fitting sleeves, cut In
one with the side sections. The shaped
facings which cover the fronts drape
loosely around the underarm seam ana
form a straight bib in back rising Tour
inches above the belt. 1t is not advisable
to leave an extra thickness of ratfne UNI
der the facing. as an appearance of bulk
mess will result. The little guimpe on
vest of soft white mousseline has a
round turneddown collar of handkerchief
linen. with an openwork edge. There are
cuffs to match. The skirt has a short
fitted tunic with its-lower line curved up
a trife in front. 1t should fit smoothly
over the hips and in front, but in back
there is succession of scant gathers
arranged at the waist line. The lower
skirt opens diagonally down the right
side, and is blindly caught together on
the wrong side to within six inches of
the ground. A little triangular slash at
the feet is the result of the crossing of
both sides. Large amber buttons trim the
left side of the blouse and the right side
of the skirt at the top of the opening.
and a row of smaller ones trim the front
of the mousseline guimpe.

TRIES TO COOK

The so-called openings of clothes,
which means the exhibition of import
ed gowns, have been late this year on
account of the difficulty in receiving
the models from Paris. There has been
a good old fight between the French
and the Americans. the copyists and
the creators, the brokers and the
buyers.
These conditions have held back clothes,
and although many early spring models
were here the third week in February, the
really important gowns did not get here
until the beginning of the second week In
March. Even then many of the dist.n-
rushed models had not arrived, and at
some of the latest openings the French
gowns were unpacked as the living
models were parading in front Of an
invited public.
This did not disturb the public. 1t only
disturbed those who were In charge OF
the opening and the jressmakers who
were fearful of losing custom. because
they did not have certain models from
certain French houses that their patrons
demanded.
This situation really brought about a
very pleasant condition in the public
mind 1t gave it the chance to see a
procession of new clothes for two or
three weeks instead of having a rapid
panorama unrolled before it's eyes too
fast for any one to take it in One can
get indigestion from seeing as we'll as
eating too fundamental If not physical
and one is as bad as the other.
AS this is the usual condition twice a
year with those of us who try to attend
every opening in Paris and New York
and compel the mind to grasp details and
separate colors and make clear divi-
sion between the output of the famous
houses, it IS easily imagined how sure
mental Indigestion Is.
1t is a pity that one cannot have these
two changes in fash.On divided into six
parts, SO there would be an agreeable
division of the entire year, and one
would not have to wake up every MORN
ing in dull season with a terror that
some new fashion might not appear and

one would have nothing to write about.
At this season of the year there is so
much to say that one does not know
where to begin or end. Yes. the division
Is very unequal.
New Coats Are Short.
Although Paquin, insists upon long
coats with godet seams below the waist
and elaborate waistcoats in front. all the
other houses show short coats in varying
styles, which are more or less graceful.
One thing which Is remarkable is the
insfstence upon the normal or lowered
waist line. This was foreshadowed in
the late winter by the loose coat with.
belt. combining 1t at the hip line; but
the new waist line does not show belt.
but a cord or piping to outline the juno
ture of the two parts OF the coat.
Instead Of the top part Of the coat be-
ing on slim, tight line it hangs in folds
from shoulder ito waist and then bags
over the combining cord. This idea is
carried out in waists as well as in coats
and has made its appearance In evening
gowns. 1t is a well known oriental
touch and has pervaded the dressing OF
the east for centuries. and it is only
natural that 1t should come in with the
sash that girdles the hips and the tulle
and gauze nantes which are placed on
evening and afternoon gowns.
This kind Of coat is what you want to
keep your mind on, because 1t Is never
than all the rest and Will probably De
worn longer than the others. 1t may be
short and finished off with a cord trifie
above the natural waist line In order to
show the oriental sash, which is wrapped
around the figure; again 1t may be fin
ished off with peplum. which Is fitted
to the hips or gathered or pleated.
Another style is to have square or
oblong peplum only at the back and the
fronts held in with cord and fastened
at the waist line. or they are cut on the
~ of 10 dfrocfnrQ and faSfnn-
ed with military ornament in the mid
die Of the front.
Paul Poiret sent oyer such coat with
q plain tight skirt slightly draped at enc
hip and trimmed with broad line of
white elk cording down the left leg. The
idea expressed in this was purely mill
tary, and because OF the exceedingly good
appearance of the suit 1t was brought
over by sretail and wholesale buyers and
was seen at almost every, opening. 1t
was not always in black, and not always
in enc color. The model with a black
skirt and red jacket was the most eff
fectiye one,
