WAR UNIFORM PLANNED
FOR AMERICAN WOMEN
Officially Approved by q. S. Food
Administration, Which Will
Furnish Patterns.

Tomorrow Uncle Sam begins the biggest
recruiting campaign he has yet under
taken.
The government wants to put 2o,oooooo
women in uniform-in the kitchen uni
form of the food administration.
The uniform is the product of the mag
nations of some of the foremost pattern
designers in the countrq. The first de-
scription was made public today. Every
woman who signs the pledge card and
thereby registers as member OF the
food administration may wear the uni
form. If she sends 10 cents along with
her regStrati ton card she will receive
pattern for it,
The uniform is red. white and blue.
The dress is blue, the collar and cuffs are
white and there is red insignia on
sleeves and cap. The insignia is an en-
broidered shield Of the Stars and Stripes
surrounded by heads Of wheat. The en-
tire uniform, including the cap. may be
made for less than dollar.
The merits Of the uniform are set forth
Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, which is conduct
ing the registration Of women, as follows:
serviceab1e and Pretty.
cit is pretty, but it is even more serv-
iceable than pretty.
''It is made to conserve time. Set the
cap on your head. Poke your arms

fold it around you. button the one big
round button which holds the straps in
the back, and, pyesto!-you are ready to
fight waste for the Stars and Stripes!
"It conserves labor. 1t Is easily washed,
being made of tub materials in fast colors.
1t is scarcely more trouble to iron than
a small sheet, as the dress opens out fiat
and the cap can be unbuttoned. leaving
two plain pieces Of cloth. Many useless
steps will be saved by the capacious peck y

THE white cuffs are only buttoned

The reasons for encouraging women
to wear the uniform are given as fol-
lows:
ut is a constant reminder to the
wearer that she must save food for
America. It is her badge of honor,
anything romantic or spectacular. but
working quietly in her own home. she
is faithfully and loyalty serving her
country in its hour of great need"

cause it is regarded as proof of long
smouldering suspicious of German ac-
tivities to stir up trouble elsewhere on
the western hemisphere, where the
United States, by the Monroe doctrine,
is morally obligated to maintain order.
Reports Assume Concrete Form.
Reports of German submarine bases
in the Gulf of Mexico, hints of possible
German influences behind the uprising
in Cuba: repeated assertions that Ger
man influences were playing upon all
revolutionary factions in Mexico with
the sole purpose of embarrassing the
United States; reports Of resentment
being stirred up against the United
States in Colombia, which already has
a grievance because Of the partition OF
Panama; the recent purchase by the
United States of the Danish West In

that the United States could not af-

the opinion of officials here, take on
a decidedly definite form with the dis
closures made in Germany's instruc-
tions to her minister in Mexico.

his celebrated speech in the reichtag
in which he deplored the break and
protested that Germany had promoted
and cherished the friendship of the
United States, 'as Bismarck put it
an heirloom from Frederick the Great"
the documentary evidence in the
hands of officials here showed that
Germany was plotting an attack on
the United States by triple alliance.
American officials wonder how, in
the light Of these disclosures, German
officials will reconcile their plea that

tion on the new submarine orders

organized disabling of German mer-
chant ships in American ports, at a
pre-arranged signal from the German
embassy here-some of them even be-
fore the break was an accomplished

ested in knowing what reception the
startling disclosures will meet in Ger

the German people If they are permit

At one sweep Germany proposed to
weaken the entente alliance by the
detection of Japan; strike crushing
blow at England's naval power by
cutting off the vital supply Of Mexi-
can fuel oil; and thoroughly engage
the attention Of the United States by
an invasion, in which Japan was to be
invited to join, and for which Mexico
should be rewarded by reconquering
her "lost provinces" Texas, New Mex

shows plainly that Germany while
making repeated protestations to the
United States, that she had no intent
ions of resuming her sea campaign
Of ruthlessness, was making the final
arrangements for its execution two
weeks before 1t was announced, and
had even gone so far in consideration

to meet them by the attack with
Mexico and Japan upon the United
States.

mans announcement that she intended
to withdraw from the Pacific, as part
of the making of peace. was carefully

Germany's schemes with the prospect
not only Of occupying the German
possessions in the Pacific adding to
her domination of that great ocean,
but of settling the long standing fric-
ton with the United States.
Mexico Reverses Attitude.
Observers here believe that the
break down of the scheme SO far as
Japan was concerned, was signalized
when the Mexican government sudden
ly reversed its attitude and announc-

off the British supply of naval fuel oil,

WASHINGTON, March 1.--Revela-
ton OF how Germany, expecting war
with the United States as the result
OF her submarine campaign of ruth.
lessness, plotted to unite Mexico and
Japan with her for an attack on the
United States, has stirred the capital
to its depth.
Members Of congress, many Of
whom have been hesitating before
President Wilson's request for full
authority to deal with Germany in the
present situation, went to the capitol
today reading documentary evidence
Of the intrigue which proposed to
separate Japan from her allies, and
add the United States to the list Of
nations which Germany hopes to see
conquered in her dreams OF world
domination.
Instructions Reveal Attitude
How Germany. confident that unre-
stricted submarine warfare is the in
strument by which she will bring Eng
land to her knees, proposed triple
blow, is revealed in set of instruc-
tions from German foreign minister
Zimmerman to German minister Won
Eckhardt in Mexico City, which was
transmitted through Count Won Bern
storif, late German ambassador here.
