If we conduct ourselves in a

':e whole paciflst case for un-

people will be hostile to us un-
less, by preparedness, we make

V anton waste and folly, for we

our ncighbors' lands. We have
undevelopcd territory and re-
sources sufficient for five times
as many people as now dwell un-
der the stars and stripes.
We Are Neutral, Vet We Are
ATTACKED.
But it is not true. We have
been scrnpulously neutral thru
out this war. We have not taken
single alien life nor tried to
take one. We have not interfered
anywhere with the trade and
commerce of the world. We
have been so scrupulous in our
efforts TO obey the law of nations
that the belligerent governments
have not even lodged an accusa-
tion that we have in any way vio-
lated international law.
We have been more than neu-
trail; we have been chivalric and
generous. Our people have given
enormously to funds and organi-
cations laboring in the war zones
to mitigate the horrors of war
to nurse the wounded, to feed the
famishcd, to care for the refu-
gees.
Yet we are attacked on land
and one sea. Our women and
children have been slain; our law
full cargoes have been confls-
Gated: our lawful ships have been
halted at the cannon's mouth and
men under the protection of the
alag taken off and imprisoned. AS

Every person who has gone to the

hrst starts to rotate IL appears to re.

turning. although the vehicle gains in
speed. IL then seems to rotate forward
slowly. but not with the speed of the
rest of the vehicle. The film manu-.
facturers have not been able to elimi.
nate this unfortunate illusion. Many
explanations have been heard. but
they seldom approach the right one.

fact that the retina of the eye retains
the vision for small fraction of a

SKIRTS TO BE FULL
PARTISAN moolsres HAVE MADE
THEIR DECISION.
Change Is Not Likely to Be Enthusi.
astically Welcomed by the Ma.
jority Of Women, But Il Seems
to Be a Certainty.

Women are insisting that their street
skirts be made without exaggerating
fullness. and this is probably as far as
anyone will get. II the dressmakers
are determined to spread six yards of
material around our ankles, the ma.
jority of women will probably submit,
and in so doing, they will add years to
their age as well as inches to their
hens.
The long, full skirt Is peculiarly
awkward in the evening. 1t cannot
obtain dignity, and yet. 1t looks as
though we will have to face this fash.
ion. There are advanced gowns in
which the trimmed skirts flow on the
floor. front, sides and back. SO far,
we have held our own quite well
against the inroad of ugly ideas and
transformed original awkwardness in.
to a marked degree of grace. The best
wish is that we continue to do 1t.
II the farthingale or distended hip
line becomes universal some of the
awkwardness will be lifted. II this
idea becomes exaggerated through
public usage we shall enter into an era
of troublesome costumery. but IL II is
merely used as means of keeping a
wide circle away from the ankles then
1t will redeem the extra full skirt.
One of the pronounced features of
the new Breton style Of gown Is the
apron that is often used in the front
and back of wide skirt. This will
be taken up by the house of Cheruit
and several other designers. 1t has
been appearing in exclusive models
since Christmas. but 1t takes more
than several weeks insistence on q
fashion to popularize It.

vet ribbon.
In other and more extreme gowns
the Breton apron with its bib Is used
only In front. Its wide strings form
girdle, and they are tied into a fiat
bow at the back or twisted into q
knot with long ends. The attempt to
introduce second color into the
gown by means of this apron has not
been successful, but 1t will be further
modified by strong shades Of light
blue and pink, mauve and yellow,
which are coming into evening gowns.
Any woman who likes simple lines
which give elegance Is distressed when
the fashion promises profusion of
trimming, and 1t is time for this dis
tress to be shown. With the excep-
tion Of the new Poiret gowns, the
fastidious woman finds everything
overloaded.
Jenny. as well as anyone else. Is re.
sponsible for this movement in dress.
Many of her clothes are quite en-.
chanting, but they do not owe their
charm to simplicity of line. She uses
bands upon bands of fluffy trimming
going around the figure.
Lanvin, who speaks with such au'
thority these days, is standing spon'
sor for that ancient kind of trimming
which we somehow always associate
with the costumes OF the Spanish
court testers. 1t consists of dozens OF
tabs of ribbons pointed at the ends
and laid over each other In straight
lines. These are often edged with
white or black rhinestones.
