ABOLISH SALOON
IS PLEA OF WET
Model License League Head Ar
CUES People Are Not Actually
Opposed to Liquor Trade.
URGES NEW BALLOT FORM
Gilmore Advocates New Plan for Ref
erendum on Four Methods OF
Dispensing Alcohol.

Washington, d. c., May 14.-Abolish
the American saloon and sell liquor in
a way more to the liking of Americans
this virtually was the kernel of an
address yesterday afternoon by T. NJ.
Gilmore, president of the National
Model License league, delivered at the
convention OF the National Wholesale
Liquor Dealers association.
He maintained that the majority
of the people favored neither the sa-
loon nor actual prohibition, and he ad-
yocated a referendum plan which
would divide the purveying question
into four parts-whether liquors should
be dispensed from saloons, from no.
tells OF 20 bedrooms or more, from
cafes without bars or screens, or from
groceries and drug stores in original
packages.
In support of his contention that the
prohibition wave was a demonstration
against the saloon rather than against
the liquor trade in itself, he argued
that the prohibitionists, in drawing
their laws, Invariably provide a law
full channel through which the con-
sumner may obtain all the wine, beer
and whisky he may desire"
Denies Liquor outIawed.
Mr.. Gilmore maintained that:
No place in the country actually has
outlawed liquor.
While so-called prohibitory laws
have proved destructive to distillers,
brewers and other liquor interests, a
citizen of prohibition state may order
liquor from another state and drink as
much of it as he wishes.
Prohibition of this sort merely in
lures a legal business without doing
what some of its advocates say it
will do.
The saloon, he said, was an institu-
ton largely peculiar to America and
created for the purpose of serving peo-
pie who are in a hurry.
Saloon Causes Antipathy.
81 think the antipathy to the saloon
is due to the bar, the screen, the
perpendicular drinking, the treating
habit, and the exclusion of the women
OF the family, and not to the commodi-
ties the saloon dispenses," he explain
ed.
III tnlS Is true, lHeu IL is uHuOuuleu-
ly the part of wisdom for US to make
such changes in our methods of dis
tributing our commodities as the pub
lie desires us to make. We know that
the people of so-called prohibitory
states are in favor of the purchase and
use of liquors, because they have made
provision for it In their laws, and that
the people of these states, whether
right or wrong, are not willing to have
the American saloon, as they have
known it, reestablished as a factor in
society"
The speaker said there is no good
reason for standing out against this
sentiment, and, therefore suggested
the use of ballot similar to the one in
New York. whereby the citizens of any
state could register a legal order re-
garding the physical mode OF liquor
dispensing.
In this way. Mr.. Gilmore contended,
the actual sentiment of nine persons
out of ten on the drink question could
be gained. Now, it was either sa-
loon or no drink at all, which, he be-
lieved, was an unfair attitude.

in it's airiness and originality of design.
 From the establishment of Lewis, in Paris, comes another simple and striking hat for the end of tho sum mer, It is a blocked shape of hemp tilting upward at the back. Except for the wreath of full-blown pink roses which extends over the crown and en- tirely across the hair at the back, and fiat sash of ribbon which slips through slashes in the crown and ter inmates in bow on the bandeau, the shape is without decoration This model was made for no less a person. age than the Princess Zezianoff, on whom it is pictured.
 No flower is quite so appropriate when the summer has reached it's height as the big garden rose for trim ming midsummer millinery. But it must be cleverly handled An ap- pearance of weight or overelaboration is out of place at this season. The two models portrayed here demon- strate more clearly than words the excellence of simplicity.

CHINA SEEKS AID
 OF UNITED STATES
WANTS THIS COUNTRY TO UN- DERTAKE THE PEACEFUL RE
 TURN OF kiAo CHOW PORT.
This Plan Seems to Have Met the Approval of Germany in Order to Avoid War With Japan.

Washington Aug. 20.-Most signif- cant of the days developments in the European situation here was the in- quiry of the Chinese government of the United States whether the latter would undertake the trusteeship of the territory Of Kiao Chow. transferr- ing it immediately from Germany to China.
 Chinas inquiry was understood to have been based on an acquicscence of Germany to such a plan, hoping thereby to avert a war with Japan. While officiais were generally reti- cent to express any opinion, it was generally believed the American gov Vrnment would not accept the pro- posal unless both Japan and Great Britain formally assented. President Wilson and Secretary Bryan thus far have scrupulously avoided involving the United States in any way in the situation
 China's endeavors to obtain the ter- Titory of Kiao Chow and at the same time preserve neutral relations with Germany. Japan and Great Britain were manifest in dispatches from Picking. In any eventuality China in dicated clearly to the American gov ernment her firm intention of remain ing absolutely neutral.
 Diplomatic dispatches from Europe contained little information concern ing the progress of the war. Colvii'3 Barclay, charge d'aifaircs of tho Brit ish embassy, inquired of Secretary Bryan when a decision on the cabie' wireless controversy might be avail able and learned that none had yet been reached. Announcement, how ever, is expected to be made to morrow.
 1 President Wilson told callers today that he was deeply appreciauye of thc hearty response to his appeal askine the American people to remain nen | tral in their public expressions of thu war. Scyerai peace organizations | have asked the administration atti tde toward mass meetings plannet
 as a demonstration against war. Ta' president and Mir Bryan discussed ; meeting planned by a New York peace
 society. The president did not disap prove of the meeting but suggcstet
 that speeches referring to individua

T HE heart of the summer could not be more fully expressed in any apparel than it is in these two ex- quisite hats. Full-blown roses, of the large garden variety. are used on both of them. The first hat, rather small, shows marvelously clever and orig jnal combination of the simplest of millinery materials. It is made of black silk braid and blue satin rib bon over the lightost of frames. There is q finish of horsehair braid forming rufTle about the brim edge The materials are put on the frame in the simplest possible manner. q row of braid alternating with Q band of rib bon.

 The brim is faced with a shirring of pale lavender chiffon. This Is made of bias strip. folded along the middle and shirred into a narrow rutIie near the folded edge.

 The crown is covered with circu- lar piece of satin of the same color as the straw It is put on in loose puff, the edge is turned under, gathered in narrow ruffle. and sewed to the base of the crown.
 At each side sprays of wheat, with small garden flowers, are mounted near tho back A bow of ribbon, like that which covers the bandeau Is sewed fiat against the under brim at the back. JULIA BoTToMLEy.

MIGHT DRESSES designed for sum- N mer are made of the Iightest and sheerest of batiste or nainsook or cross-barred muslins. linen and cotton lawns, and also of wash silks and crepe de chine The latter and linen lawns seem to be in highest favor at this season.
 For decoration, well-made French or German val faces, cluny and shadow laces hold sway, with hand embroid- cry always the most elegant of all, If fine hand embroidery is to be used, linen lawn, crepe de chine, or very fine bariste will make the work worth while. Hand embroidery in simple de- sign and neatly done is the most de- sirable of all decorations for lingerie. Durable faces in narrow insertions and dainty edges are quite often used with it. But the majority of hnnd-embroid' cred garments have no further deco ration than fewer sprays of embroid ery and all edges finished with but tonholed scallops.
 A gown of batiste Is shown in the picture cut ih the simplest manner possible. A plain kimono pattern does away with armholes or separate sleeves. The round neck and shor' sleeves are finished with buttonholed scallops, and these are placed, in stead of q hem. about the bottom. A flower spray appears on each sleeve and in the front of the garment.
