TOBACCO is NOW FREED
FROM WAR RESTRICTIONS
British Government Agrees Not to
Interfere With Neutral
Shipments.

The British government has yielded
to the American representations for re-
moval of all restrictions on the ship
ment of tobacco to neutral consignees
in neutral countries. Word of this
reached here yesterday from the Ameri-
can embassy at London.
The British embassy sent the follow
ing message to Secretary Lansing:
The foreign Office informs me that
the British government agrees for the
present not to interfere with the car
goes of tobacco shipped to neutral con-
sIgnees in neutral countries. and states
that in these circumstances tobacco in
all its forms destined for Holland will
no longer be required to be consigned
to the Netherlands Overseas Trust
The removal of the British restric-
tons. protested against by representa-
tives OF tobacco producing states. re-
lieves a situation which resulted in
overstocking of the tobacco ware
houses. Scarcity of ships to handle the
product and high freight rates now
confront tobacco shippers.

Enormous quantities of mail moving

RULE AS TO NEUTRALITY.
Sunday Not Excluded From Twenty
Four Hour Limit for War Vessels.

Sunday is not to be excluded from the
twenty-four hours which beIligerent war
vessels may remain in a port of the
United States under the President s
proclamation of August 4. last year.
Secretary W. G. McAdoo of the Treasury
Department has SO advised officials of
the customs service charged with the en-
forcement of this feature of neutrality
observance.
The order is in accordance with the ad-
vice of the Secretary of State.
Under the Neutrality-suspicious. rule a bel
ligerent vessel coming into an American
port must depart before the expiration
of that period. In coaling and provision
ing such beligereut ship some difficulty
may be experienced by the application of
this rule to Sunday, a day upon which
such supplies may be hard to obtain.

CHARY ABOUT INVESTMENTS.
French Capitalists Object to Condi-
lions in Cold Storage Business.

PARIS, November 81. 5:s5 pm
Andre Lebon. former minister of com
merce, said today at the. Academy of
Moral and Political Science that in
view of the need of the importation
annually of at least 100000 tons of
cold storage meat it was necessary to
overcome objections of dealers to
spending money for cold storage plants
without assurance that they will be
able to continue this business for sew
eral years.
NJ Lebon advocated a bill making
provision to this effect which was
passed by the chamber of deputies in
July, but was defeated in the senate.
He said the special interests which are
opposing Importation of beef should be
disregarded by the higher authorities
in the interests of the people.

Details of Conditions Outlined by
Mrs. John A. Logan-Plea to

The District of Columbia Belgian re-

Logan. has taken up again with vigor
the work of raising money and gath
ering clothing to send to the destitute
people in Belgium. From November of

that a large number of Belgians. who
were suffering from the effects of the
war in Europe. were aided. The COM

of the local committee, Mrs. Logan last
night issued an appeal to the citizens
of the District of Columbia, which is,
in part, as follows:
The District of Columbia Belgian
relief committee was organized in the
name of humanity, and, in the Ian
guage of Mr.. Lincoln, with malice to-
ward none and charity for all and
earnestly hopes that every one, without
regard to creed or nationality, Will
generously contribute according to
their means to this unfortunate nation.
Nothing in the history of the world s
greatest ca1amities compares with the
condition of the people and the pros
tration of the country of Belgium.
Millions of People in Distress.
In the rigors of a cold winter mil
lions of human beings of all ages and
classes, are condemned to endure I'M
speakable sufferings without food,
clothing or shelter. Thousands would
have succumbed to the bitter blasts and
the pangs of hunger but for the spon-
taneous generosity of the people of the
United States. The situation is still
such that it will require all the funds
and supplies that can be raised by in
dividuals, committees, clubs and organ
izations whatsoever. There is plenty
of work to be done by whosoever will
lend a helping hand in the long drawn
out months of nations distress.
This committee is composed of the
representative citizens of the District
of Columbia, is deeply sympathetic and
in earnest in it's appeal and the work it
proposes to perfrom without fee or re-
ward. They appeal to all the people to
help this winter. as they did last, in

prosperous nation our part in this hui

BEAUTY AT FORTY"-WOMAN OF ANY AGE
CAN WEAR ANY COLOR THAT BECOMES HER!
WRITTEN AND ILLUSTRATED BY IDAH McGLoNE GIBSON


l was describing to a friend
of mine the other day a wom-
an whom l hid never seen eX-
cept in pink or blue and she ex-
claimed, Mercy is she as old
as all that?"
Color plays a great part in
the beauty scheme of the wom-
an of 40. The days when
black was a suitable color to
signify the death of hope has
passed.
A woman of any age can
wear any color that becomes
her. Personally, l could never
wear any of the shades of pink
until my hair grew white, but
for the woman who has white
hair and a good fresh complex
ion there is no color more be-
coming than any shade of pink,
from flesh to coral, or from
blush to American beauty.
l never wear a corset in my
own home and my house dress
es are all made after one de-
sign which l have evolved after
many years of experiment.
These costumes are made Of
any fine material from Canton
crepe to brocade velvet and I
do not feel called on to apollo
gize to any one because they
are unconventional, as they
are graceful, modest and most
comfortable.
My friends tell me that the
one most becoming is of Amer
ican beauty and dull blue strip
ed satin.
l must have plenty of color
about me and l think as a wom-
an reaches her Indian summer
she should take a leaf from ma
ture and use any of the brilliant
tints with which autumn dyes
the foliage, turning the earth
