New York.-Prohably the lack of ec-
centricity I'm the spring apparel is Its
distinguishing feature This is am adj
mrable trait in time of war; but
France did not forc>ee that America
would bee in war when she designed the
spring clothes that have been uuiyer-
sally accepted i'm this country.
Paris keeps its wartime clothes for
its own people, and has never failed
to send to the rest of the world q fresh
batch of newly invented gowns bear
ing all the marks of frivoIity and eX-
trayagance.
Many reasons have been given for
the lack Of eccentricity noticeable in
the French gowns, but whatever the
cause, it is a matter of satisfaction
that the condition exists Women are
compelled to buy new raiment at each
change of season, but in time of ma
tional crisis they do not think 1t fit
ting or seemly to indulge in the pc
culiar caprlces of dress which have
marked recent eras.
Other Days, Other Clothes
It is a common cry to say that the
existing generation is always the most
provocative of criticism. We forget
what has gone before in history, in hui
maDity and in religion as well as in
dress. There are critics who cry aloud
over a certain fashion. consider IL
monstrous, and wonder what our young
women and girls are coming to that

Frankfort, Ky, March 1.-The Ken lucky state senate yesterday passed a resolution condemning in unmeasured terms the action of United States Sem ators who prevented vote last week on the armed neutrality bill.

''
 It asserts the senators knew Ger many repeatedly had insulted the American flag, torpedoed ships in de- fiance of international law and was making earnest efforts to bring the United States into war with Japan; that they knew the United States was swarming with German spies and that bridges and nnunition plants were be- ing ruthlessly destroyed, mot know ing how soon plots would be uncov- cred to assassinate our president. de- stroy our navy yards and naval and military stores, sink our ships and otherwise humiliate and discredit us among the nations of the earth"
 The resolution condemns the "out- rageous action of the senators named as ''unmanly. unpatriotic, un-Ameri- can unparalled and unwarranted." It comments ''the patriotic members of both branches of congress- who stood with the president in showing that while we may havey isolated cases

 Two of the most elaborate and sin- tricate mine fields that a nation has ever devised for the safeguarding Of a city's water gate have been planned by the coast artillery and the corps of engineers to protect the entrance to the waters immediately about New York
 While these if1ine fields have been planned. experts say, so that not even a hostile rowboat could pass through them unharmed, ways have been de- vised to permit the passage of. friendly vessels. Mines such as those shown in the picture are able to de- stroy even the greatest vessels af1oat The destructiveness of such mines has been demonstrated many times in the European war.
