AMERICAN STYLES

There is no use in depending on Eu-
rope for styles in America, declares
Madame A. S. Custer, the we'll known
couturiere of the Maury Dry Goods
Company, who is just back from Chi

ing:
Every dress maker in America
should have attended the meeting OF
the Fashion Art League of America
held at Chicago last week. The con-
vention was a success in every way
and those who were fortunate enough
to attend felt more than amply re-
paid. 1t taught US something we

of the new styles is simplicity. We
are going back to the crinoline days
and the wide skirt will occupy the
center of the fashion stage for a
while. One thing about the present

-FOUR INDICTMENTS
ONLY FOR SELLING
LIQOOR ILLEGALLY
SMALLEST NUMBER BY GRAND
JURY IN MANY TERMS OF
COURT.
HAS ALAOSi BEN RULES OU.
Sixteen True Bills Returned at First
Report of the February Grand Jury.
One Was for Murder In the. First
Degree.

The grand jury of the circuit court
made its first report Of the term
this morning. 1t brought in twenty
bills, of which sixteen were true bills,
while four were no-bills.
For the first time in many courts,
the number of indictments for selling
liquor without license failed to be
the largest of any Of the counts.
There was one more indictment for
larceny than there was for bootleg
gin9.
The division of true bills was as
follows: Carrying weapons, four;
larceny, FIVE; selling liquor without
a license, four; assault to kill, two;
and murder in the first degree, one.
The latter indictment was returned
against Isom Pitts, who shot and kill
ed Nick Sharp at Mt. Pleasant a few
weeks ago. Pitts is now in the coun-
~ jail, waiting Tor MS trlal 10 come

After the grand jury made its re-

room, where they again went to work
on other bills. They are receiving
the assistance and help of Gen. Frier-
son, who is helping to examine the
witnesses. They have number Of
other cases, on which they have been
working, but on which they are not
yet ready to- report
The report Of the jury is unique in
that it is the first in long time

paid especial attention to this phase
of law violations, but the supply Of
this nefarious class seems to have
practically dwindled to nothing

ANNOUNCEMENT OF ASQUI1H
Members Rend the Air With Cheers
When He Gives the British Answer
to the Submarine War Waged by
the German Nation.

LONDON, March 2.--If the combin-
ed fleets of Great Britain and France
can prevent 1t no commodities of any
kind except those now on the seas
henceforth until the conclusion of the
war shall reach or leave the shores
of Germany.
This is England's answer to Ger
many's submarine blockade, and it is
to be effective forthwith.
Premier Asquith, reading from a
prepared statement, made this an.
nouncement in the house of commons
today at a session which will be his
toric. Studiously avoiding the terms
on the blockade" and "contraband"
for these words occur nowhere in
the prepared statement the premier
explained that the allies considered
themselves justified in attempting
and would attempt ito detain and
take into port ships carrying goods of
the presumed enemy destination.
ownership or origin"
The premier emphasized, however,
that vessels and cargoes so seized
were not necessarily liable to confis-
cation, and begged the patience of
neutral countries in the face of step
likely to injure them. He added that
in making such a step the allies had
done so in self-defense.
we, are quite prepared" he went
on, Ito submit to the arbitrament of
neutral opinion, and still more to the
verdict of impartial history, that in
the circumstances in which we have
been placed we have been moderate;
we have been restrained; we have alb
stained from things that we were pro-
voked and tempted to do, and we
have adopted 0 policy that commends
itself to reason, to common sense and
to justice"
Every member of the house not at
the front in khaki, or unavoidably de-
tanned, was in his seat and there was
frequent cheering. The galleries
were packed When the premier con-
cluded his set statement, and turning
to the speaker and said; THAT, sir,
is our reply" there was tremendous
outburst.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Con-
gress worked away steadily today on
its task of cleaning up supply bills
which must be out of the way before
adjournment on March 4. The senate
passed the naval bill, $4,000, 900;
the fertilization BILL $6,000,O00, and
the diplomatic bill $4,2OO,OOO, while
the house spent the day debating the
general deficiency measure, with in
terruptions now and then to dispose
of conference reports.
The senate added about $4,000 900
to the naval bill as it passed the
house, providing in the two battleship
construction program for five sea-
going submarines, for a gunboat and
a hospital ship, and adding $1,000, 900
for an armor plant and $500, 900 for a
projectile factory.
Senator Smoot vainly sought to
have authorized the construction of
fifty sea-going and twenty-five coast
submarines, declaring that no man
"can tell when the European disturb.
