substance of the whole thing was that
stripes grew very tiresone to the eye.
But the stripe fashion this spring will
not be such a bore. There are scores
of them shown in advance displays and
there is no reason for them to become
common. Most of those that have been
created thus far are unusually clever
and distinctive and will no doubt ap-
peal to the fastidious dresser.
Plaids in most instances are dying
out" They have had. their turn at popu-
larity and are giving way to the striped
patterns. OF course, there will be few
OF them and those that there are will
be very clever. The Glen Ureuhart
plaid will again be the leader in this class
and makes stunning appearance in
both light and dark weaves. Tartan
plaids have been on the decline for the
last few seasons and predictions are
that there viii be few If any shown in
mems shops for spring.
Club checks are due for a moderately
heavy season They are perhaps more
subdued than those of previous years.
In fact, the whole tendency seems to. be
for mere quiet effects. Shepherd plaids
and checks have seen their best days
except for sport coats.
Greens put in strong bid for popu-
larity. In some clothing manufacturers
lines three-quarters of what they show
are composed of greens. There have
been some unusually striking greens
woven in both plain shades and mix
lures. They are sure Of winning the

want something a bit different than the

are no end of different variations and it
won't be long when we will see men
who said they would never be seen in a
green suit wearing them.
The man who wears a suit of some
mixture will be in good style. Mixtures
are exceedingly handsome, especially the
gray ones that will be shown. There is
every reason to believe that mixtures

strong appeal.
There are few plum color blues that

light in weight and keeping its shape

Serges also take prominent part IN
the new seasons showing. Serge is a
good fabric, wears well and holds a

been chosen for spring. There have been

STRIPES THE TH1NG

Perhaps never before have stripe,
been used so much as they win be tliiI
season. Stripes are undeniably tn,
vogue. They are shown hy everg tailor
and BY every clotitier. There are, it Is
safe to say, thousand dtferenn stripe
variations. There are all sorts of
stripes: wide stripes, narrow stripes,
double stripes, pencil stripes, pen stripes,
shadow stripes, contrasting stripes,
stripes, stripes, stripes, stripes and again
stripes.
Browns and blues are going to be
popular, too, if enough of them can be
obtained. It's a peculiar thing, but
everything that is scarce is always in
demand. Browns and blues are very,
very hard to procure and they are un-
Usually expensive. Perhaps for those
reasons more than any others are they
IN such demand. Browns are to be worn
IN very dark shades and are in most in
stances shown without any patterns.
Getting back to stripes again (fer they
are the most important consideration for
spring. no doubt there will be many, but
not - many as to make them look mo-
nonnous. A few years ago there was a
craze for stripes. Everybody wore
them; everywhere you went YOU saw
them; every tailor, every ciothier showed
them at about every price. But there
were. very few variations+they were

M|NERS'- CHIEF COMES OUT FOR
 THE PRESIDENT

"we note with regret | 1t without surprise the existence of an organized effort to discredit the administration of President Wilson," says John P. White, president of the United Mine Workers of America, in a formal statement.
 "The attitude of the President to- ward the many grave questions affect ing the men of labor during the past four years has been such as to war rant a word of appreciation at our hands at this time.
 "His efforts in keeping our country at peace commend him most favor ably to the toiling masses and to the labor movement in particular.
 "He has given his personal assis- tance in support of humane labor leg islation and has championed the cause of child slaves of industry, and we feel sure that we are but discharg1ng our just obligation to President Will son in commenting him for the things accomplished in the interest of hu- manity; and we believe that the many outstanding achievements of his ad- ministration in the interest of progress
 and human betterment will find fa- vorable consideration among the great masses of the people throughout our country"

din, but failed to make the payments thereafter to the Robert Dollar Co.,, which had taken over the contract from those individuals. Instead, the car company is alleged to have organ ized the New York agency with capi- tai stock of $20,000 paid by the Cana dian company, and to have transferred the contract to the agency.
 The Canadian company now claims that the agency was not a party to the original contract and cannot, there fore, be sued in the New York Su- preme Court and the Canadian com- pany, being a foreign corporation, cannot be sued in that court either. A novel point will be raised before the court as to how far it is possible for a foreign corporation to evade ser vice in New York state by dealing through an agency.
 Sue for S1,25O,OOO.
 The Canadian company claims that the agency is an entirely separate company, and is merely a trustee for the corporations and individuals to whom the Canadian company gave out sub-contracts. The amount claim ed by the Robert Dollar Go. is the sums paid by the Russian government to various Repositories in New York, amounting to $1,400,000, less the pay- ment of $150.0OO to the original. con- tractors, or $1,250,000.
 Those who are mentioned in the suit are the trustees for the agency company, John P. Murray, Nicholas Golijewski, and William B. Joyce; Robert Y. Hebden, William A. Bog and James T. Molineaux, representing the Bank of Montreal; Harry F. Pat terson, Richard A. Daily, and Wesley Caldwell, representing the Bank of Nova Scotia; the Irving National Bank, the Farmers Loan & Trust Co.,, and the Guaranty Trust Co.

IS THE KAISER INSANE?

The theory that Emperor William is insane, which has been suggested and elaborated by many writers of the AL lied nations since the outbreak of the wal, is no new one. Twelve years ago, in the North American Review for October, 1904, Dr. Allan McLane Ham, ilton, perhaps the most distinguished of American alienists, advanced this allegation in an article on Sanity and Safety in Public >Office'' Of the Ger man Kaiser he wrote:
 Though brilliant and vigorous in certain directions, as are many par anoiacs, his conduct Is cratic and im- petuous; and no one can possibly pre- dict what form his latest explosion may take. Possessed of an idea of his power and almost God-like supremacy, which moro closely resembles that of the arbitrary rulers of less civilized ages. his delusfonal sense of greatness leads him to indulge in all sorts of ec- centric and disorderly forms of the exercise cf power. Though his at tempts to regulate the art of Germany and to teach sculptors, artists, actors, and musicians, and even baIlet-girls, are evidenced in mild insane con ceit, and do no great harm, his power for mischief Is really dangerous when he becomes, as he does at times, the subject of a species of semi-religious exaltation. This was his condition when he addressed his troops previous to, their departure to China, urging them to kill Again, his exaggerated sense of personal importance has led him to direct or bring about punish ments for 1ese majeste,' which are not only extreme, but at times ridiculous. ?
