Fashion is responsible for many In
ventions. This Ii the case with the
manufacture Of artificial flowers. for
their demand was due to a caprice Of
fashion. In Italy during festival time
II was decreed that flowers should be
worn in and out Of season and that
their color should be retained. Many
plans for solving this problem were
brought forward and at last some one
nit upon the idea Of making them Of
various materials which would re-
semble the real flowers. Later. in the
middle ages. the artificial % far super.

SEND THEM IN SOONER

The Star would be very glad if it
could impress on its friends who have
notices of public and social affairs
the necessity of sending them in
early in the day. The notice of the
civic Christmas tree was sent in yes
terday about 2 o'clock and it is
simply impossible to set up anything
of that length at that time in the aft
ernoon. 1t often happens that if we
held back the paper set set all such
matters that are sent in after dinner
it wouldn't go to press until dark.

MEXICAN WAR

Peace Convention Rejects Carranza's Conditional Surrender, and
 Armies Move.

CALIENTES, Mex, Nov. 12.-After an all night session the Mexican peace convention, which claims to be the governing body of the republic, decided that the conditional resigna- tion of Provisional President Carran- ga upon terms which he insisted must first be carried out, should not be ac- cepted and that the government of Provisional President Gutierrez take immediate steps to carr out the de- sires of the convention.
 The new civil war in Mexico then
 -"ned and the troops are marching south from here. Where the first bat tie will be fought Is not known. The department of the north, which is con trolled by Villa and his followers, will endeavor to destroy the army of the south, commanded by General Carran- ga. General Villa is in command of the army of the north.

LONDON, Nov. 12.-Dixmunde has fallen. The news caused a sensation here, as the city was expected to hold out for weeks. The huge German force commanded by the kaiser in person is crushing it's way to the coast and the British people are pan ic-stricken. Many other towns about Dixmunde have also been taken by the Germans and new line of de- fense is being quickly prepared by the allies.
 Look To Russia for Aid.
 The people are praying for Russian successes to continue SO that the kali ser may be forced to weaken his force in Belgium and give the hard pressed allies a chance to bring up reinforce ments. The war department has wir. ed to Petrograd strongly urging that the Russian campaign in East Prus- sia and in Silesia be pushed with great vigor, fearing that the German general staff may otherwise send more troops to the western battle field. The news of a Russian victory in East Prussia is the only ray of sun- shine for the people of London.
