VELVET AFTERNOON FRoCKS
FOR THE YOUNGER SET,

THE democracy OF
Il American fashions Ia
passing glance. for the
worthy OF more than a
outcome is decidedly In
teresting. BY this I
mean the tendency to-
ward a common style
for both the young girl
and her mother. In for
mer years the school,
girl wore simple serge
frocks. or a plain. we'll
made topcoat. The tai
lored suit was quite un-
heard Of In Junior sizes.
Today the young miss
Of IL has her small tall
leur, probably selected
by herself and approved
by no one. And she
doesn't conhne herself
to serge. either. Vel
vets and embroidered
chiffons are not too or
nate for the girl OF 20
a style which would
have been considered
outre a short time ago.
Truly, the democracy Of
style shown in the
shops is a liberal edu-
cation.
Navy blue velvet is
seen on this little after
noon gown for the
schoolgirl. The lines
are simple enough to
escape the accusation
Of overelegance. but
the materials them
selves. fur and velvet,
serve to accentuate the
lack of simplicity which
really exists in Juvenile
styles. The severely
simple gown, both in
line and material, has
given its place to the
more practical models.
The yoke at the bod
ice Is a noticeable inno-
walton. The drop shoul-
der is a good idea, for II
serves to soften the an
gularity popularity and
not always accurately
associated with youth.
The collar is turned
down, with color notes
in blues and greens,
The rest of the bodice
is quite full, with cut
steel buttons down the
front.
The glrdle OF fur Is
q dainty feature. 1t is
used to bring out the
waist line, which Is
slightly above the nor
NAL. Pockets of skunk
are seen at either side
of the front to good ef'
feet. These are used OF
some of the most sue
cessful styles of thu
season.

GERMANY ADMITS THAT GREECE MAY
 HAVE ENEMY

BERLIN. Dec. S.-Germany has no secret agreement with Greece, and Is making no effort to combat threats' promises and the pressure exerted by the Allies at Athens. Germany IS willing to allow Greece to choose her future policy.
 German newspapers emphasized the facts but admits the possibility that Greece may be forced into the conflict on the side of the Allies.
 There is a slight undercurrent or pessimism. yet military experts are quoted as saying that even if Greece l.ioins the Allies with her 5OO,OOO men she win find that this possibility has not been overlooked by the German general staff.
 The decision of Greece is expected soon. but even if it Is adverse to Germany, it is declared that 1t will have no ultimate effect on the Bal kan campaign. The greatest danger is that such decision by Greece may influence Rumania to 8 similar ae' tion.

 ORDERED
 TO LEAVE

WASHINGTON. Dec. 8 German Naval Attache Boy.Ed and German Military Attacho yon Papen were, in effect. given their walking paperes to- day when Secretary Of State Robert Lansing notified German Ambassa- dor von Bernstorff that they were persona non grata with the United States government. The Secretary Of State asked that Germany withdraw the two men from service here, be cause of their objectionable activities In connection with naval and military matters
 Tie disclosures at the trial of the officials of the Hamburg-Amerlcan S.. s. Co. at New York furnished great many of the facts upon which the re quest of the Secretary Of State Is based.
 The usual procedure would require Von Bernstorff to notify his country by cable of Lansing's request, in which case the order of withdrawal should follow next week.

He will put the responsibility for accepting or defeat ing such preparations squarely up to Congress. He will not suggest any plans for raising the money. This essentially is the duty of Congress. If Congress shall decide to overturn the program. the President will from time to time in public utterances de- fine his own position. SO that the re- sponsibility can be placed"

LONDON. Dec 3.-The landing of

 The Invasion of Bulgaria by Russi- an arms has aroused intense interest in London and there is much specu- latl0n as Go the next development lt is expected that Bulgaria will witness some of the sharpest fighting of the war, as the Russian army has been equipped for strong offensive drive. Reuters correspondent at Salonika telegraphed this morning: "lt Is ex- Dectcd that this move will have a far. reaching effect on the internal situa- tion of Bulgaria and will likely modify the whole aspect of affairs In the Bal kan States"
 Austrian Flag HoIsted.
 The fall Of Monastir is confirmed in telegrams from the Reuter- Agency. The Salonika correspondent said that fne city had been occupied by Austro- German forces and says his informa- tion was received in a telegram from Florina. in Greek Macedonia. and only a few miles from Monastlr He add. ed that the only flag hoisted when the city was occupied was the Austrian The Bulgarians did not enter Mona stir remaining at Kenall, a suburb. lt is reported. however. that they will march Into Monastir today. Telegraph- ic communication with Monastir ceas- ed at z o'clock Thursday morning.
 The Invaders attacked Monastir from three different quarters-Babuna Pass. Brod and Kruseyo-and with its capture and the fall of Noyibazar and other points near the Montenegrin border Old Serbia, as it existed before the last lwo Balkan wars.

Embros. as affirm. ng that Earl Kitchener received for maj assurances that Greece in no case would take measures hostile to the Entente Powers and that solution of the differences would be found
 However. it is believed In London that should Greece fail 10 state her intentions. a blockade of her ports will be ordered by the Entente If Italy carries out her plan to send troops to the Entente IT Italy carries out her plan Go send torops to the Balkans, it lis said that Greece certainly will send her army in the field to fight the cen tral allies

fanaIno Naked statement

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-Secretary of State Robert Lansing issued the following statement explaining his re. quest for the withdrawal by Germsny of Naval Attache Boy-Ed and Mill tary Attache Von Papen:
 "On account of what this govern
 ment considers improper activities
 in military and naval matters this
 government has requested the i'm
 mediate recall of Captain Boy-Ed.
 German naval attache, and Captain
 Von Papen, German military at-
 tache. as they are no longer accept
 able to this government"
 Lansing based his statement to Count Von Bernstorff, relating Co the recall of Captain Boy-Ed, upon the fact of his connection with the con spirators of the Hamburg-American line, who yesterday were found guilty In New York. The State Department is believed to be of the opinion that, as Boy-Ed had admitted his connec ton with the financing of the opera lions which the New York jury pro nouuccd illegal. there was nothing else to do but to inform the German gov ernment of its views by informing her ambassador that the two attaches are persona non grata with the United States.
 The action of Secretary of State Lansing leaves 1t with the German government as to the manner in which the unwelcome German diplomats shall terminate their connection with the embassy. This is the usual dip lomatic procedure in the case of an attache of an embassy or legation whom the United States finds objec tionable.
