to be considered at the General
Federation Of Women's clubs Of
America to be held hero next

believe in the decolette gown so

should be modest and never sem

custom of dress for women
especially young girls, that is
simply frightful. The extreme
split swirt that shocked us once
has given place to the extreme
split waist. Evening gowns worn
nowadays by women who prob-
ably mean well but are foolish

CONSERVATION BILL
 IS PASSED BY HOUSE
Opens Seven Hundred Million Acres of Land for Private
 Lease

Washington. January 15.-The second of the administration conservation measures. bill under which more than 100000, 900 acres of public lands would be thrown open for lease by private interests, passed the House today without a roll cali. lIf- me6iately afterward the 6l0-acre home stead bill was taken up with a prospect that 1t would be passed early next week.
 Opposition to the land lease bill was confined principally to far western repre- sentatves, as in the case of the water power leasing bill passed last week. A group of westerners opposed particularly the provision under which vast oil re- sources on public lands in California and Wyoming would be developed under fed eral leases. They contended that the states should be permitted to regulate de- velopment of their own resources.
 In it's report the lands committee de- clared that the lands opened, which in- clude approximately 45O000.OO0 tons of coal and $90,000, 100000 worth of phosphates and unknown quantities of oil, gas and min eral fertilizer, should be developed imme- diately.

Plan to Make Stand at Rieka-Will Concentrate at Scutari if Necessary. Further Defensive Preparations
 Being Made Around Saloniki

London, January 15.-Only on the Bes- saraibian and East Galician front and in Montenegro have there been recent mil- tary developments of prime importance. The rapid sequence of events in the Mon tenegrin campaign, involving the crumb- ling of the little kingdoms resistance, presents perhaps the more dramatic as- pect, but on a far larger scale and of greater interest for the moment at least is the conflict being waged between the Austrians and the Russians. The Russian offensive, resumed in force after a brief halt, apparently is being pressed with more determination than before. Reports of the fighting so far have come only from Vienna, but these indicate that the attacks against the Aus trian lines were of desperate charac- ter. the Russians repeatedly charging in serried line a dozen deep, only to be re- pulsed each time with frightful losses. ac- cordng to the Austrian official state- ment

PROTEST
 AT PROPOSED PLAN
Alabama Democrats Evi- dently Against Extensive
 Preparedness Programme

Washington, January 15-(Special.l
 Judging from recent letters received by
 Senators Bankhead and Underwood, the
 rank and file of democrats in Alabama are opposed to an extensive programme
 of preparedness.
 Practically every letter received by Ala
 bama' s representatives are letters of pro-
 test It is obvious, the senators state that the people are fearful of the $lsO, 900, 600 taxation burden that the President $ programme would entail. The attitude of Alabama. as interpreted by the two senators, is one favorable to reasonable preparedness, but opposed tc extensive preparedness. There seems to prevail the idea that the navy should be increased by auXliaries, submarines and torpedo destroyers, but that few new dreadnaughts should be constructed and that a large standing army be not pro- vided for.
 The senators have received many let ters, a fair percentage being from cit
 izen of substantial properties.
