Turks Occupy Tabriz.
London, Jan 13. - TabriZ, second
largest city in Persia, 100 miles east
of the Turkish frontier. has been oc-
cupied by an advance detachment of
the Turkish army. says the Reuters
Petrograd cores spondent.
The taking of Tabriz means that
the Turks. who undoubtedly had the
backing of some wild Turkish tribes
men in this locality. have secured a
base for a projected German-Turkish
attack upon Russfarr -pu sitfurs in the
province OF Erivan. north of the Pers-
ian border, and considered Russias
most vulnerable point.
Opinion here is that Russia and
Great Britain may offer resistance to
Persia in defense of her neutrality as
a result Of Turkeys dramatic advance.
Even though Turkey may fail to push
further northward she will have gain
ed basis for negotiations IL she is
able to retain Tabriz.

1 900 Persians of the Province OF Azer-

SACHET FOR THE HATB0x
Bunch of Tiny Roses Is One of the Newest Ideas for the Scenting
 of Lingerie.

An unusual sachet, which would be very attractive for the hatbox or to keep among the lingerie. is bunch of tiny rosebuds, such 'as are used for decorating boudoir caps, negligees, etc The heart of each rose, before being coiled, should be filled with ones favorite sachet. In a cluster of eight or nine roses, the sachet will be sufficient to impart delicate fra grance.
 A sachet of this sort is extremely dainty and the rosebuds are the most easily manipulated of all the ribbon flowers. The ribbon should be an inch wide and sewed into little pocket at one end of the sachet, then wrapped around ard around until the rosebud is the correct size. Add a few leaves, cut from green velvet. and you will have one of the loveliest of sachets.

Adds Briuhtness.

Those who recall the colors of 20 years ago will remember the remark able popularity of cerise. Since then it has returned many times and with each reappearance it has been re- eeived with the same amount of pleas ure which characterized it's first com ing.
 "Beetroot," "geranium" and various other shades of red have been favored by fashion, but none of them is ac- cepted so cordially as cerise, which reappears under the name of 4mili- tary red" These brilliant shades of red helr to brighten the dark colors which are so popular. The monotony of black, tete de negro and midnight blue shades in vogue is relieved by an occasional dash of brightness, such as cerise or similar colors.

 One of the novelties in evening frocks, not, however, made by Worth, is founces of white tulle edged with pink worsted embroidery. These coarse threads of crewel are also used on chiffon, on voile, on silk. Taffeta frocks have worsted flowers at the waist, at the end of a sash, as a border to the hem, and one shop of- feTs frock of dark blue silk with it's tunic bordered with short yellow and blue worsted fringe. It is easy to see that the constant knitting by the wom- en all over the world this winter has suggested the idea.
 The prevalence of mourning in Eu- rope has brought from the manufac- turers a large assortment of mingled black and white materials. The new silks have large and widely separated black flowers on a white ground. The broad stripping of the direetoire has returned and black coat suits are made with long pointed waisteoats of it.

 Taft

Morristown. N. J.-The United States is threatened with a serious in- Vasion of it's rights, as a neutral, by the warning nations of Europe, and in preserving it's commerce with those nations is face to face with a crisis, in the opinion of former President William H. Taft In the solution of that crisis, should it arise, no jingo spirit must be allowed to prevail, MT. Taft advised, neither pride nor mo- mentary passion should influence our judgment
 And when the president shall act" MT. Taft declared, We must stand by him to the end. In this determina- tion we may be sure that all will join, no matter what their previous views, no matter what their European origin. All will forget their differences in self-sacrifiicing loyalty to our common flag and our common country

 AND IN OFFICIAL CIRCLES.

Washington.-After the cabinet meeting, it was said, it was consider ed that the situation regarding Ameri- ca and Germany is not at all threat ening and the administration has no fear that any American ship will be sunk The intimation in the German note to the United States that the American ships be identified by con Voys was taken up. It was agreed, however, that the American govern ment has no authority to order ships to adopt such measures as were taken by Holland and the Scandinavian countries, which include the painting of the nationality of the ship in large letters on each side. It was under stood, however, that inquiries will be sent to maritime insurance companies to learn if any arrangement has been made for identifying neutral ships.
 dispatch from Berlin quotes the Nossisehe Zeitung on the latest Ger man communication to the United. States as follows:
 The new German measures at sea are directed against two of the allies Of Great Britain. One is the Ameri- can traffic in arms and the other is starvation. We need no American arms; we shall make the struggle with starvation in the firm conscious ness that he will pull through, even if not one single grain of wheat reaches us.
