A fascinating combination of chiffon
and black taffeta Is introduced in this
attractive gown, which suggests Spanish
tendencies. The bodice Is extremely
simple and features three attractive
motifs embroidered in jet. The skirt Is
an odd draped affair with drop of net
and lace. Elaborate jet embroidery Is
featured in an attractive design on the
tront. A bright toned corsage and MORE
girdle are finishing touches.

PRESIDENT Threw BOMB
INTO NATIONAL CAMPS
In Transmitting Germanys Peace Proposal to
Belligerent Nations Also Asked Them for a
Discussion of Peace Terms-Action Was Sur
prise to Foreign Diplomats in Washington and
the Comments Were Varied

Washington, ID. c.. Dec. 2l.-Sur'
prise was apparent among diplomatic
officials here over President Wilson's
plea to European belligerents to dis
cuss peace terms. The general opin-
ion was that President Wilson's &C.
tion would give encouragement to
some sort OF exchange OF views which
might result In a discussion OF def
mite peace terms between the bellig.
erents.
Despite the fact that President VII.
sons note states specifically that he
is mot proposing peace and that he
is not even offering mediation" they
are regarded here as OF such nature
as will compel the belligerents to
make more OF reply than mere &C.
knowledgment OF receipt.
Diplomats think II incredible that
President Wilson should have taken
this action without some belief that II
would not be fatty rejected without
consideration by the entente allies.
The wish and hope OF the German al.
lies that he take some such step has
long been well known. and there Is no
doubt OF the manner OF Its reception
among them. Officials and diplomats
here. analyzing the Presidents note.
are finding something deeper than an
appeal for peace terms. They see
that the President is not acting. but
also was considering what would have
TO be the course OF the United States

without comment. had taken all th,
action that was TO be expected from
the United States for some time. un
less there was some unforeseen de

crecy around which the notes wer,
prepared was complete and no,hinl
was known OF them until they wer,
well on their way.
