Of the same dark toned material as the
coat around the bottom Of the skirt Is
the link between two complete cos

A perfect toilette indeed for the

Miss Jane Addams asSundertaken
/, TO explain and amplify her curious
and Instructive observations on the
use of alcohol In modern armies.- II
appears that In the address thar
caused so much commotion she was
concerned ONLY to lay before her
audience certain facts indicating "a
revolt against war taking place In
the midst OF war ITSELF" Now. ns
she intimates In the current "lndc-
pendent." she is, not satisfied that
this revolt Is general. and fears
that In expressing her own views on
the extent to which alcoholic stimu-
lspts are used she unfortunately
gave q mistaken impression" Tier
desire, therefore, is u make clear
exactly what she meant on that oc-
casion. --. U.S.
To begin with. It never occurred
to her for a moment that the doses
were administered 'because the men
lacked courage" Besides. she was
men. On the contrary. Zone OF the
'hideous results OF the war she
says. rs the inveterate tendency OF
the average man to fall Into the
spirit of hot retaliation" il may be
gathered that Miss Addams has
ceptional men. the men who have 10
be whipped up with spirits before
they will fix bayonets. These are
the more refined modern sort. and II
is evidently In these that Miss Ad-
dams sees Indications Of the great
revolt against war. She IL thinking
of "a type Of sensitive man doup;-
less found In each army" and ror
this type. she still holds. "stimu-
lants might be necessary" When.
therefore, she heard that rum. ethct
and other spirits were In fact used.
she concluded. not that the imbiber-
were timid or cowardly, but that
the stimulants inhibited the sensi-
bilities of a certain type OF modern
man"
This Is all extremely interesting.
only. considering how strongly the
old way OF distributing spirits to
soldiers has been condemned by army
men OF experience, the proper distri-
button of alcohol on these critical
occasions must call for very nice
discrimination. When II ~ consid-
cred. moreover. how very uncertain
the action OF alcohol IL, the task
must be enormously complex. How
ever. II Is obviously encouraging to
the pacifsts to see that the chiefs of
modern armies In spite OF their oppo-
sition 70 alcohol are Obliged to use II
IN the end. II shows that the SEN
sitive modern type OF man IL already
too strong for them. and when the
revolt Is general they will be at their
wits end To keep whole armies
perpetually drunk would be task
beyond the greatest OF generals
