WAR NEWS IN BRIEF.

The German war machine has
battered its way into the Belgian
town of Dixmude. Today's Off
cial French statement contains
the admission that the allies were
obliged to fall back from this
point of vantage in the great bat
tie for possession of the eastern
shore of the British channel. AS
an Offset, the French war Office
states that the allies forces have
advanced along the North sea
coast, pushing back the Germans
and taking Lombaertzyde, a small
Belgian town a few miles north
east of Nieuport.
Along the remainder of the
battle line, says the French war
Office, there is no change, except
for slight progress by the allies at
a few points. The Berlin view
of the situation, however, is op-
timistic. Comment is made there
of the use of the expression good
advances" in the latest official
German reports concerning the
fighting in the west, being the
first occasion on which such
terms have been employed in this
connection.
The German crown prince is
reported to have been placed in
supreme command of the German
and Austrian forces in the east.
Petrograd contradicts the Ger
man claim to an important VIC
tory along the northern border,
asserting that brilliant success
has been won there, ana tndt the
Russians have begun an invasion
of East Prussia.
An official Turkish statement
laid claim to considerable success
in operations in the Caucasus,
as well as on the Egyptian from
tier.
Heavy fighting continues on
Servian soil. The Austrian gov
ernment announced that its forces
had made several important ad-
vances, repulsing the enemy and
capturing many prisoners.

like conyeniences remain to be con-

POPE TO TRY FOR PEACE,
SAYS COLOGNE DISPATCH

LONDON. November IL, 1920 am
Telegraphing from Copenhagen, a cor.
respondent Of the Central News says:
"A dispatch received here from CO.
logne affirms that the Pope shortly will
endeavor to initiate negotiations for
peace through the medium Of a pas
toral letter.
THE German view of this is that any
such action by his holiness would raise
the question of the Pope's temporal
power. and force Italy into taking an
attitude against the proposal"

LAW COMMITTEE WILL
SUGGEST LEGISLATION
Chairman Sinclair Believes Pur-
chases of Firearms Should Be
Made Difficult.

The Washington Chamber . of Com
merce at meeting held last night
took cognizance of the movement par
ticipated in by other organizations of
the city to prevent the indiscriminate
sale of dangerous weapons when it in
structed its committee on law and leg
-islation to make thorough investiga-
tion of the present laws governing
their sale, with view of recommend
ing amendments making them more
stringent.
This action was taken on the motion
of A. Leftwich Sinclair, who, after
speaking of the ease with which dan
gerous weapons now may be obtained.
read from The Star of yesterday re-
port of Maj. Richard Sylvester, super
intendent of police, to the District
Commissioners embodying a draft of a
proposed law governing the sale of
enacted. Mr.. Sinclair is chairman of
the law and legislation committee,
which is to conduct the investigation
in behalf of the chamber.
THE present law governing the sale
of dangerous weapons is inadequate" :"
said Mr.. Sinclair. 'It does not restrict
the sale Of weapons in any way, for to
comply with the law it is merely nee
essary for the prospective purchaser
Of a pistol or any other firearm to give
his name and address. If he gives a
fictitious name and address it does not
matter. He obtains the weapon and no
further questions are asked.
No Check on Sales.
eff person contemplates violence he
can rush into a store selling pistols,
buy any particular type he might de-
sire and also a supply of cartridges, and
be on the street again in less than five
minutes, If the clerk who waits on him
is at all brisk This should not be the
case. The purchase of dangerous weap-
ons should be made a difficult matter.
This would prevent a person from OBJ
tanning one on a sudden impulse.
THE indiscriminate sale of pistols Is
a serious matter here in the District.
1t is one which should receive the at
tention of the Chamber of Commerce.
We should endeavor to have a more
stringent law enacted"
Mr.. Sinclair said he would call a meet
ing Of the law and legislation commit
tee in few days and take the initial
steps in the Investigation of the law. A
report to the chamber will be made at
its December meeting. At that time
the committee probably will present a
draft of what 1t considers proper law
governing the sale of weapons. the en-
actment of which the chamber will be
asked to recommend.

Little change has taken place in

is much liked for warm weather and
will be worn for a considerable time
to come. The costume of white
gabardine bound with white silk braid
is an exceedingly handsome one and
by no means so perishable as at first
thought appears, for gabardine does
not hold the dust and, when really
soiled, can be cleansed perfectly and
without injury.
White taffeta for dressy costumes is
fashionable and white taffeta with
trimming of black velvet makes a
handsome as we'll as fashionable
combination. One could think of the
cape coat suit made in that way to be
singu1arly successful while, as matter
of course. silk in darker color would
be more practical for every day wear
All the tan and brown shades are to
continue their favor for the autumn
SO that suit of one of those colors
bought now would be useful in the
future.
Women who are inclined economi-
>cally will find the tunic an excellent
garment. The prevailing skirt be-
meath is in the close two-piece style
that has been the fashion for some
time. A really new costume can be
made at moderate cost by using such
a skirt in blue serge with a tunic and
coat of either blue or black taffeta
or bengaline or, to further connect the
two materials. taffeta could be used
with little cape like collar matching
the skirt.
There are great many possibiii-
ties in these tunic costumes. The
first great advantage is to be found,
of course, in the intrinsic beauty but
the many ways in which they can be
utilized also are an advantage. To
avoid unnecessary weight. many
tailors are making the under skirts
of thin lining silk and facing with the
material to the necessary depth and,
in that treatment. is to be found still
another hint of practical value.
Such short tunics as are shown in
the smaller group are really very
pretty and attractive and 60 a long
way toward freshening partly worn
toilette as we'll as adding to a new
one. Pretty fancy silks and ribbons
are being much used for their making
and it is really astonishing how COM
pletely a fancy tunic such as the
shirred one. made from lowered ribbon
or Roman stripes will transform a
white gown or one of quiet tone that
has been worn throughout the season
with a different finish. 1t is almost
no trouble to make these, little
accessories and they more than repay
the labor as well as the expenditure.

weather. The material does not crum-
pie nor crush readily. It is delight
fully light of weight and sheds the
dust. 1t would be easy to reproduce
any one of these models in any chosen
material. for the designs are of the
available sort that can be adapted to
hard usage of travel and also to church
going. visiting and the like, as one
material or another is used. All white
