WILLIAM HODGE AT
 PARSONS TONIGHT

One of the most delightful treats of the present theatrical season was the recent engagement at the Parsons theater, Hartford of William Hodge in 'The Road to Happiness" So pro- nounced was the enjoyment of the big audiences then that the management has worked hard to secure return visit of this unique star Tn this de- lightful "comedy of cheerfulness." It will be seen in Hartford tonight and Tuesday and those playgoers who missed its charm and merriment on the previous occasion will surely avail themselves of this forthcoming chance to travel this real path of sunshine and smiles with the inimitab1e Hodge along this footlight Road to Happi- ness" -..t#

 To Be Seen Upon Streets This Spring They Are of Frock Style Which Go As One Piece, But Look Like Jacket and Skirt Former Jaunty
 and Appealing.

line into solidly embroidered long, pointed postillion, dropping fiatly upon a skirt whose front and sides only arc covered with an overdress This section, full gathered under the deeply pointed waistcoat of the bodice, is exceptionally flaring, and at it's edge Is trimmed with rows of fine braid ing. At front center it covers the hem of the underdress, but at the sides is several inches shorter, looking as though 1t intended to become still more short across the back, whereas it simply runs into the seams of that gore. A girdle with mbroidered short ends, loosely knotted at the left side, and a tall stock in satin give the French "black" touch to this costume
 White satin and silver, if sparsely and cleverly applied to a frock suit, give to it an air of distinction wholly out of proportation to the amount of glistening material used. The simpler the costume the more effective are these touches they are too insignif- cant to be called trimmings. Almost severe in it's plainness is 8 model in darkest blue silk gabardine The square necked bodice is shirred at the waist line and edged at front and about excessively wide arm-eyes with the narrowest of satin pipings to match the vest.
 The blousing bolero is crossed at the back of the neck by a turned-over tall white satin collar. from whose corners depend tiny tassels in silver. Rhinestone centered. silver buttons fasten the life side of a crush girdIe in satin partly drawn over the top of circular skirt, whose deep hem in chiffon is headed with a side pleat- ed satin band Another band of chiffon, edged top and bottom with narrow side pleated satin bands ap- piled near knees shortens the effect of the skirt and break its monotony of line.

SMELL OF SAWDUST
 IS ON THE POLL PLAY

"The real smell of the sawdust" is an old circus expression that show men have used for years in describing a tent show and that same expression aptly described Folly of the Circus" the Margaret Mayo comedy drama in which the Poli Players appear all this week in Hartford with the usual lnatinees and evening performances daily.
 Manager Thatcher has preserved all the pretentiousness of the circus fea- lures and has conceived several novelties of his own which will be shown. The lobby of the theater will resemble the paths through the tents of circus soS patrons will, as Rev. Billy Sunday might say, Init the sawdust trail when they enter the theater. The cages with the animals will be there and all of these features will be free to all The barker will not be absent nor will a freak or two to add to the naturalness of the scene and create the proper at mosphere which should prevail before the curtain rises on the first act.
 The story of the play is a familiar cne. Miss Skirvin will, of course, play the name part and those who have come to admire her art, antici- pate an exceptionally pleasing pre- scntation of the role which has been such dramatic success. Mr. Hol- lingsworth will play the minister ard again his friends look for another de- llghtful character reading by the popular leading man.

With the arrival of springs mod erately mild days, simultaneously there will appear upon the streets walking costumes of an ideal type. These are the frock suits which go on as one piece, but nearly always look like a jacket and skirt The jackets are jaunty and appealing, and usually carry the embroidery. stitchery or braid used to make the costume elaborate.
 But rarely is this garnishing in startling contrast. On a marine blue frock the red embroidery will be in the darkest tone of that color. the stitchery in dullest silver or the braided design in black
 So few as to be remarkable are the suit frocks carrying self toned braids In fact these are seen chiefly among the advance models in whites. in biscuits and pale grays, and in certain sandy shades-thosc guiltless of a greenish hue-which have survived last winters craze. In sand colored gabardine Drecoll has launched a frock suit calculated to induce any girl to reconsider her nasty taboo of that oyerworked shade.
 Bolcro Embroidered With Braid and
 Buttons.
 Its bolero, heavily embroidered with floss and braid in self-tone, separates over deeply pointed, hip long waist coat carrying double row of tiniest buttons in white. Gabardine covered buttons of goodly size trim but do not make a pretence of fastening the jacket. and slightly smaller replicas of these buttons are on the marrow sleeves fitted to arm-eyes whose tops are overlapped by elaborately en- broidered revers of so broad and square type that they dominate the fronts of the bolero.

imperial German government have
been the provocation or the circum-
stantial justification for the past acts
OF its commanders at sea, the gov
ernment Of the United States con-
ndently looks to see the justice and
humanity of the government of Ger
many vindiacted In all cases where
Americans have been wronged or their
rights as neutrals involved.
THE government Of the United
States, therefore, earnestly and very
solemnly renews the representations
Of it's note transmitted to the impe-
rial German government on the 18th
of May and relies on these represen-
tations upon the principles Of human
ity' the universally recognized under
standings Of international law, and
the ancient friendship Of the German
nation.
The government Of the United
states can not admit that the promul-
gation OF war zone from which ner-
tral ships have been warned to keep
away may be made to operate as in
any degree an abbreviation of the
rights either Of American shipmasters
or of American citizens bound on law
ful errands as passengers on merchant
SHIPS OF Delligerent nationality. 1t
ooes not understand the imperial Ger
man government to question those
rights. 1t understands it. also, to ac-
cept as established beyond question
the principle that the lives of nom
combatants can not lawfully or right
fui'y be put in jeopardy by the cap
ture or destruction of an unresisting
inerchantman. and to recognize the
obligation to take sufficient precou-
tion to ascertain whether suspected
merchantmen is in fact of belligerent
nationality or is i'm fact carrying con-
'raband OF war uder u neutral flag.
Ihe government Of the United States
therefore deems it reasonable tn OK
pect that the imperial German gov
ernment will adopt the measures
necessary to put these principles into
practice In respect Of the safeguard
ing or American lives and American
ships and asks for assurances that
this will be done.

BRITISH STOPPING COTTON,
ANNOUNCED THAT YARN is
REACHING GERMANY By
WAY OF NEUTRAL
COUNTRIES.
Licensing Committees Appointed to
Deal With Question to Satisfaction
of Ncutrals I'm Shipment of Cotton.

London, June 10.-Walter r. Runci-
man, president of the Board Of trade,
announced to the house of commons
today that inasmuch as cotton yarn
exported to some neutral countries has
been reaching countries hostile to
Great Britain. it would be necessary
hereafter to procure licenses to ex-
port yarn to neutral ports as is done
in the case of coal. In order that
licenses may be dealt with quickly.
cotton licensing committee similar
to the coal export committee, will be
appointed.
Speaking on the general subject of
cotton shipments Mr.. Runciman said
that particular importance attached
to the subject of cotton shipments
from the United Sttaes. From the
start the government had taken meas
ures which 1t thought would be effec-
tive in checking the receipt Of cot
ton by enemies of Great Britain but
from one direction after another
there had come evidence which could
not be disregarded, to the effect that
cotton was passing into Germany.
Germany was not finding cotton
necessary for the manufacture of ex-
plosives, he said, since she had al
ready stocked herself very we'll for
that purpose, but cotton sent in
might be used, and it became incum-
bent upon the British government
that cotton should be one of the first
things to be prevented from reaching
Germany.
We held up large number Of cot
ton vessels" Mr.. Runciman continued
ION terms which 1 am glad to think
were satisfactory to vendors in tho
United States, and the foreign office
has been able to avoid any friction
which might be apprehended. This
cotton is finding it's way into Lam
cashire mills.
THE same objection is applied to
cotton yarn. We could not allow cot.
ton yarn to be exported. even when
going ostensibly to neutrals. The gov
ernment secured a guarantee that II
would not be reeXported, but figures OF
imports and exports showed that II
could not all be used in the destina-
ton countries"

With Their Crops.

The gloom that settled down over
the strawberry planters after the
severe hail last week, was partly dis
PEELED by the recent rains which saw
ed great part Of the crop that ap-
peared to be lost. The farmers are
shipping a car of the berries daily
and will continue to do so for several
days to come. Several buyers from
northern markets are here compet-
ing for the shipments. and will re-
main until the season is over. A
great many of the berries are being
handled locally.-Georgetow Times.

LANDS MUST Be RESTORED.
COURT DECIDES AGAINST SOUTH.
ERN PACIFIC RAILROAD.
Valuable OIL Lands Taken by Fraud,
Says Court, and Must be Returned
to GOvernment-In Kern County.
California.

Los Angeles, June 11.-Ten sections
of California oil lands near the town
or Mckittrick, Kern county, valued
at SIS 100000, were declared to have
been fraudulently patented by the
Southern Pacific Railway company in
decision by Robert S. Bean of the
United States district court Of Oregon,
filed here today.
The land, part Of large area which
was alleged to have been claimed
illegally by the railroad company, was
ordered restored to the government.
The land Is in Kern county and would
supply the navy with petroleum for
25 years, according to Willis N. Mills,
special counsel for the government,
who made the closing argument here
before Judge Bean last January.
Another suit involving oil lands in
the same area, valued by experts at
1920, 100000, is pending in the United
States district court. In the suit just
decided hearings were held in various
parts of the country during a period
extending over three years. The gov
ernment alleged that c. w. Eberlein
land agent of the Southern Pacific
company, had filed affidavits that the
lands had been inspected and found
to be not mineral, but agricultural
Patents were granted in 1904.
AT the trial of the case however
| Eberlein testified that he never had
caused the lands to be inspected, as
set forth in the affidavits upon which
the government granted title.
