LORD ABERDEEN SEES
EARLY END OF WAR
Peace Will Come Much Sooner
Than Expected, British Diplo-
mat Says

Lord Aberdeen, British diplomat, who is
in this city after attending the banquet of
the League to Enforce Peace last night at
the Bellevuc-Stratford. predicted today that
peace would come much sooner than many
persons expected
The diplomat. who was a former Vice
roy of Ireland and Governor General Of
Canada, in making this prediction added
that this war was one of salvation. "If
were a German" he remarked, II venture
to say that. knowing as much as / do. 1
could not help being pro-Ally in my SYM
pathies. We are fighting to protect Ger
many from Germany"
In explanation of this, he said that the
struggle was for the continuation of civil
li2ation, meaning that the true Germany
would be better off by the elimination or
reduction to submission of the men now
ruling the destines of the Teutons.
Lord Aberdeen explained the motive of
the League to Enforce Peace. Persons
should not he said, think that the league
is going to butt in" the present war.
ut is simply to preserve peace after peace
once more reigns. 1t is fine idea Not
only do statesmen of leading countries rec
ognize it, but even your own Theodore
Roosevelt has urged it, if l remember cor
rectly in a magazine article"
'Do you not think the moral effect will be
effective?" he was asked,
YES" he answered but it must have
something more potent to back it up. A
policeman acts as moral effect, ! might
say The sight of him will often stop
man from breaking the law But when
man starts to break the law the policeman
must take out his truncheon and stop
him."
Lord Aberdeen then praised this nation
very highly for its severance of diplomatic
relations with Germany. The act he char
acterzed as a "pronouncement of great
principle" II can only repeat the words
of Lloyd George" he said in regard to this
America has hardened to the call of
destiny in taking her share in the vindica-
tion of international law and rights"
There is no real unfr,endliness in Engr
land toward the United States.' he con-
tnued. III there were the headlines would
have said last week. Better Late Than
Never or something Of the sort But they
didn't"
Lord Aberdeen afterwsrd went to the
luncheon OF the Fairgrounds Association at
the University Club.

WOMEN'S SPRING HATS
DESIGN, NOT ACCIDENT
Simplicity the Key to New
Styles, With Strong Oriental
Influence

To those who have not believed IT, women
this spring are going to prove that they
are people.
They are going to do It by proving that
they are more sensible and they will prove
that they are more sensible by their new
spring hats
SO there, as the saying is you are!
Miladys new spring bonnet will not
necessarily have a blue ribbon on IT, but
its stylishness will be judged by the degree
of its simplicity. The style for the spring
and summer indeed, will reach very nearly
to the other end of that line of extremity
marked a few years back when she APP
peared under wealth of pompadour and
a large gob Of millinery that often looked
like the wreckage of an explosion.
Except for the sharp colorings of IT,.
she will wear this spring almost no hat at
all. II will be lght--very light in weight
and to guess from the early showings of the
mllllners art, its lines will be part of
her.
That Is to say, It will not seem at all,
as In memorable times gone by like a bit
of extraneous matter that had somehow
collected around her brow in a process of
development similar 10 that in which a
cobweb strays across the corner of an old
ROOM 1t will be design and not an acct
dent.
The milliners give no reason its change
is only a change of style. But there is a
reason. There are two reasons one is,
as those who have watched have seen, that
all of woman's clothing has tended toward
several years. The other is that new art
has entered into hat making--the art Of
China and Japan.
To be sure. the American woman this
spring will still look to Paris for some of
her hat ideas, but there have come into the
country from the Orient some happy sug-
gestions that have resulted in the simpl-
fcation of women's hats They are princi-
pally Chinese ideas of color and Japanese

New Persey Farmers Anticipate An

SwEDESBORO, n. j.. Feb. Should

prices of early truck crops in New Jersey
and elsewhere in the North.
Farmers in this part of the state are
already making preparations for big
planting of early tomatoes, for which crop
Swedesboro is one of the most important
shipping stations. The farmers here made
large profits from this crop last season, and
they expect to do even better this year.
