Coats should have lead weights sewn

But the real problem of dress is not

AS some fair female unadorned and

Secure to please while youth confirms
her reign,
Sights every borrowed charm that
dress supplies,
Nor shares with art the triumphs Of

When time advances and when lovers

OUTLAWS RULE
 IN MEXICO CITY of Foreigners-Mueh Looting Is Reported.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-The State Department has been advised that the outlaws in Mexico City are footing all residences and are killing and burn ing, laying the city waste. The con- dition is serious but the administra- tion is unable at this time to aid the foreigners, although strong protest has been made to Gen. Carranza and to Gen. Villa against the acts of law lessness committed by the outlaws and request for protection for for, eigners in the Mexican capital.
 The opposing factions are prepar' ing for another big battle. Villa has received strong endorsements from the north, having moved all garrt sons south to block the Carranza troops. The outcome of the battle may decide the fate of the opposing generals. Gen. Villa cannot stand another defeat and hold his forces loyal, he is therefore bringing all his troops for one desperate attempt to break down the Carranza strength.

NEVER ACCEPTED
 BLOCKADE ORDER
Bryan Denies We Agreed To Brit ish Orders In Council-Still
 Protesting.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-Secretary of State w. J. Bryan announced to- day that the United States had nev- CT agreed to the British order in council by which all neutral vessels are prevented from trading with Ger many or taking cargoes of foods to nearby neutral countries through which country the cargo can reach Germany.
 It is understood that the German foreign office has been advised that the United States had agreed to the British blockade and would make no protest to England against its oper- ation. This is denied by the secre- tary, who insists that every right of trade will be upheld by the State Department with Germany as well as England.
 Diplomats say that the announce ment may do much to influence Ger many to accede to President Wilson's demand for protection for neutrals and non-combatants.

GENEVA, May 22.-The report has reached here from semi-official sources to the effect that the Ger man reply to President Wilson's note of protest will assure the American government that hereafter no Ameri- can merchant ships will be sunk even in the war zone and that the merch- ant ships of the countries now at war with Germany will be sunk only after the passengers and crews have had an opportunity to leave the ships, after which they will be sent to the bottom.
 This is taken as indicating the de- sire of the German government to avoid a break with the American gov ernment The reports that have reached Germany from confidential agents in the United States indicat- ed clearly that the American republic was almost a unit in support of President Wilson and his position in the matter of sinking the Lusitania and that Germany could not expect aid from German-Americans who have been forced to remain quiet in the face of popular indignation which swept the United States when the

 of Treasury Officials.

WASHINGTON, May 22-Justice Mccoy has taken under advisement the motion for the dismissal of the charges brought by the officials of the Riggs National Bank against Sec retary McAdoo and Comptroller Will.

Adoo and Williams have exercised arbitrary powers and also announced that the evidence so far received in dicates clearly that the bank had vio- lated the law and therefore the with drawal of government funds was jus. titied and the refusal to renew de- posits of the government proper measure and showed no malice.
 It is expected that the verdict of Justice Mccoy will be against the bank and the cases will be thrown out of court, in which event the bank will start work to secure a congres. sional investigation, when the oper. ations of the Treasury Department can be aired and the investigation not limited as it is by the present suit.
 The bankers insist that the Treas ury officials have tried to wreck the bank because of the refusal of the officials to aid Williams when he was an applicant for his present position.
