What About the New skirts?

Each of the women who are regard
ing the prospect of buying new clothes
for the autumn is far more concerned
with the skirt than with any other
part of the costume, unless it be the
high-crowned hat, which is really
nerve-racking knot for the woman
with long face to unravel.
The truth concerning skirts is that
so many varieties are offered, no wom-
an need actually worry. Even the
full tunic is admitted. True, the skirt
beneath the tunic is not as narrow as
1t was last November, when Jenny and
Callot flooded the country with skirts
that had a narrow line about the
ankles, but a sharp contrast is still
made between the tunic and the lower
skirt. Both are cut circular and each
is fitted at the hips, for the umbrella
shape rules on a majority Of the
gowns. When this wide circular cut
is thoroughly understood and well
managed, it is far prettier than the
skirt which is full at the waist and
narrow at the ankles.
Waist Line Is Smaller.
This season such fullness at the
waist line will be eliminated to a large
extent, which is good news to all but
the emaciated women. The cut of
skirt which is widely adopted and
dominates the field of clothes is what
was once known as the umbrella skirt
There is no better name for it. 1t fits
the waist. is smoothed out over the
hips, falls Imply around the ankles,
its fullness folding up on itself, and
with a hem sometimes irregular and
sometimes even.
There is no struggle to keep the
fullness from falling in front OF the
knees; for that idea of squaring off
the front Of the gown and putting the
fullness at the side is evidently put
back on the shelves with last years
fashions. 1t was never attractive, but
1t was tolerated and accepted because
1t was one Of the ways out of serious
sartorial disaster.

Conner Predicts Peace

Member of Paris Law Fir Visiting Oscar w. Underwood Jr Says Germany Cannot Stand Pace Much Longer-But Allies Will Never Pass the Rhine Fortresses
 He Says-Engand Not Anxious This +
 Should Happen

B. II. Conper of Paris. a member of the American law firm of Donald Harper, in the French capital, believes peace will be declared dn Europe in less than six months. MT. Conner spent yesterday here as guest of Oscar w. Underwood IT, who was formerly associated with the Paris firm.

 Tn the. first place Germany cannot stand the pace much longer She can not afford the enormous losses in men she is sustaining and when the German people once realize their task is hope less they will make peace while they can if order to get the best terms possible
 Ut should be borne in mind. however that when peace comes Germany will be on her knees. Her fleet must have been rooted out, Belgium must be restored as before the war and Constantinople must be in the hands of the allies.
 However, the allies on the west will never pass the Rhine fortresses They are practically impregnable and can be held with a remarkably small number of men on the western front. England will be in the strongest position when peace comes and England is. not eager for the German bulwark between Frank and Slav to be entirely, broken down. If an inva

Culbertson, himself a director of the Dallas reserve bank, of which MT Wells was governor before he came to Birmingham. Mr Culbertson and MT. Wells are warm friends. MT Culbert- son spoke feelingly and in the highest terms of Mr Wells. The crushers were prepared to listen to one of the best in formed men on the reserve bank in the south and they were not disappointd.
 HALL ATTENDING MEETING-G. w. Hall of Memphis, one of the best known members of the crushers' association, Is here attending the convention Mir Hall Is delighted with the convention and with the plans that have been executed in entertaining the delegates. He said yester- day the press club was one of the most magnificent he had ever visited.
 DADDY OF THE ORGANIZATION F. w. Brodie of Memphis, who is attend ing the convention of crushers in this city is the daddy" of the organization It was MT. Brodie who 20 years ago thought such an organization could fill a place of usefulness. Mir Brode there- fore. promoted the organization and is one of the most highly regarded men in the association and always of interest at the convention MT Brodie has son who is here, Julien L. Brodie, who was a special agent for the department of commerce several years ago The younger MT. Brodie made q study of cotton pro. duets in Europe and distinguished him self by reports submitted. He is now engaged in the brokerage business h Memphis with his father.
 THREE EX-PRESIDENTS ON HAND E. M Durham Sr, of Vicksburg. George Alexander and Col. E. s. Ready of Helena Ark, are three of the most widely known ex-presdents of the crushers. MT.

FRICTION IN RANKS
 OF UFFRAGETTES|S
 CAUSEDBY THE DUES
Rumor Says Another Body Is to Be Organized on a Different
 Plane

According to a persistent rumor in equal suffrage circles. in the ranks of the women who have banded them selves to secure the right to vote, a sharp division has occurred-a divis- lon so sharp that unless a remedy be rapidly applied, it will become perma- nent.
 The casus belli, it seems. is a re- gently adopted amendment to the suf- fragettes' constitution which gives only those suffragettes who pay dues. the right to take active part in the delib- erations of the band in other words, to vote. The great majority of the sui fragettes throughout the state pay no dues, if reports are correct, and the malcontents are up in arms it is said. because of the efforts of those able to pay dues. to disfranchise and otherwise mortify their sisters who earn their bread in the sweat of their brows
 It is understood that plans are already afoot for the organization of another equal suffrage league. the idea being to create body democratic not pluto- cratic. which shall offer inducements to everybody, the poor as well as the rich to enter the fight for the so-called new freedom" The new organization If it is perfected will term its mem bers "suffragettes." not ''suffragsts, '' the idea of its promoters being that the former word is not only the cor rect word but the stronger in that it IS denuded of the affectation and fash ion which is attached to the latter.
 Efforts to secure interviews on this situation failed yesterday. It was said by the element which Is reported to be in rebellion, that there will be interest Ing developments in the near future.

sion of German territory comes 1t will be through Galieia but Germany will seek terms before this invasio has been car ried very far. England does not want the Slavs too close to the western shores of Europe and it is for that reas that it has long ago been agreed that Con- stantinople is to go to Russia at the close of the war. It will give the Muscovites an outlet to the south which they have sought for centuries and will relieve the pressure toward central Europe When ments for the war all these things were specified.
 "Germany's fate Is almost sealed. Her finances are liable to break down any day She is depending entirely for her powder supply now upon nitrogen made from the air. Holland is upon the verge of entering the war and will be fight Public sentiment In Italy s now virtual- ly ripe for her entrance with the allies and that Is what they have been waiting on. Roumania will be in with the allies before the war closes
 What hope has Germany surrounded by such an array? She and Austria Hum ary will be hemmed in on every side ex- cept Scandivana and these countries, nv the way, hate England too much eve- to
 join the allies.
 AS I said, there will be no such thing as disntegration of Germany England does not want that and Germany Is too wise not to seek peace long before that l time comes"
