WAR TALKS By UNCLE DAN
 Number One
America Must Fight Hard or Germany May Win-Necessity for Mill
 tary Training.
Number One

"Now, Billie," said his mother, "yOur Uncle Dan is coming tomorrow to spend a week with us on the farm, and if you want to know about the war, here's your opportunity. Uncle Dan IS probably one of the best-informed men In the country" Billie clapped his hands and gave such whoop that he wakened the baby, but what could you expect of a fifteen-year-old boy who is 8 living interrogation point and wants to know about war?
 Uncle Dan arrived in due time and Billie watched for an opportunity. It came that evening after dinner when Uncle Dan had lighted cigar and taken a seat on the porch.
 ''Tm mighty glad you came, Uncle Dan. want to talk to you about the war. We have just put military train- ing in our township high school, but we had a hard time to do it. The Joneses and the Greggs objected. They said the war wouldn't come over here. Grandma Jones said: They ain't no use to worrit, it will soon blow Over.' We'll we put the training in just the same. You orter heard Judge Brow do the slackerS up. He said unless we take off our coats and go to it, Ger many may yet win, and if she does, she will take over the great British fleet as B war trophy and compel us to do what ever she wants to; that she could make us pay all the cost of the war; the kaiser could tax us as he pleased and that we couldn't help ourselves. He could make every one pay over part of what he earns that he could make the farmers pay rent for their own farms, etc. Now, Uncle, what do you think of that?"
 "Well, my boy" said Uncle Dan, s"all that Judge Brownell says might easily come true and may unless we go quickly to the aid of the allies with large numbers of men and help them break the German line. Unless we can DCoC tAO cuOIudAihCos I1ACS A4dy PA V vent us from getting enough food to the allies to keep them going. In that case Germany would win. As matters stand today, our greatest need is trained men. If we had had several millions of men with military training in our industries and on our farms when the war came, who could have been called at once for service, l do not believe the kaiser would have forced the war upon US. As it was, he had no respect for us, and now we are in it and must go through with it. But never again must we be caught so wholly unprepared.
 "There is only one safe way" said Uncle Dan, "and that is to adopt per- manently universal military training, apply it to every young man who is physically fit, say in his nineteenth or twentieth year. The training can be carried forward in the United States training camps that are now being es- tablished for training men called by the selective draft. AS soon as these men vacate these stations, they should

"Why is that policeman looking so attentively at your cottage?"
 "I guess he has noticed that the vine upon 1t is a porch-climber."

We have arranged for series of six interesting articles, "War Talks, by Uncle Dan," written by Mir. Howard H. Gross, president of the UniVer- sal Military Training League, of which this is the first. They tell in a graphic way why military training is of value, both to the nation and to the individual, and our readers will find them of unusual interest.

Bell Shapes Are Also in High Fa-
vor Among Paris Millinery
Designers.
BRILLIANT C0LORS FEATURED
Black Has Given Way to Brighter
Hues, With Red Favorite-
Draped Crown Has Been
Generally Adopted.

New YOrk.-The American woman
buys the hat to match the frOck after
the latter has been purchased. The
French woman buys the hat first and
matches the frock to it, or chooses the
two from the same dressmaker and
keeps the one costume intact. So goes
the criticism of the experts who make
study of the important differences
between women's methods of dress in
various countries.
No one can deny that our methods
of choosing hats have left much to be
desired. The usual quota of millinery
was one hat for formal wear, one for
informal occasions. No matter what
the frock, the suit, or the wrap, the
hat of the hour was added to ii.
When the shops made So hats pos
sible and pretty, then women began to
learn the lesson of completed cos
tune, which is the hat and the frock
that go together. Each season, the
demand for more hats, per capita has
increased. until the newer lesson to be

can be done.
As nation, we have gone quite mad
over variety of hats, and we eagerly
search for something new and daring.
Therefore, / sent over to the source
of perfect hats for more information
concerning what the smart milliners
there were making, and the interesting
story received is as follows:
Black Hats Disappear.
The draped crown has been with
US off and on for long time, and now
that all the milliners have launched it
they mean to try to make the feature
a success. The crown rolls over in
layers and often renders the hat heavy
and old. At the Riviera, where all
fashionables have been running, the
loose crown is having great success.
The all-black hat has practically dis
appeared, and the houses which are
recognized as leaders in their art show
little that is dark. This might be a
new idea, were it not that for l u years

them, with all the peculiar tricks that

Sometimes they are garnished with a

liners, crowns are high here, but the
height is relieved by applications of

Lewis Features Wells.

Lewis is making smart effects with
the yelled hat. This kind of millinery
is always alluring. and when Paris last
saw it-about - years ago, peo-
pie went mad over it. The veil is
of black lace, and is draped ever the
back of the hat to fall to the neck.
Fine mesh is employed, for it is the
aim to have the effect as diaphanous
as possible, and veil which was
heavy would spoil everything. Some
times Lewis makes the veil serve as
the sole trimming for the hat.
The big capeline is ordered not only
for France but American commission
ers are commanding many. The cape
line is nothing more than big. soft
hat, loose of crown and soft of brim.
Some shapes have ribbon to come over
in front and rest under the chin, while
others have loose bride. The bride"
or bride, has not enjoyed approval
here for years, and now that some Of
the best houses show it, it is probable
that it may form part of the spring and
summer hat. Strings are charming
whether on hat or bonnet, but If the
multitude adopt the garnish then the
woman who does not want to appear
like moving bargain counter will drop
the fashion.
Lewis shows a large assortment of
big hats. None are particularly dark
and all show brilliant assortment of
dyes. A few are tiny. but these are
built out with stiff horsehair lace,
which in some instances is wired with
tiny vines. and the hat is made in al
most any line.
Georgette Revives Aigrette.
GeOrgette shows fondness for the
crown, and this style is especially eff
fective for hats with tailored suits.
The crown is in one tone. the brim in
another, and the kind most favored Is
that of the beige straw crown. the tiny
brim of black or navy blue satin or
peau de sole. This very quiet effect
changes place with the crown of gera-
mum soft STRAW and brim of black
satin. Georgette likes the capeline and
she lets the lace flow over the face.
and in some examples shows wide soft
ribbon brides. The lace capeline at
Georgette's is tulle crown covered
in lace. while the brim is lace with the
last row hanging over the rim. Black
hats of this kind trimmed in groups
of colored aigrettes are stunning. The
aigrettes are put on in groups of two
and three over the brim.

 We have always been inclined to agree with those advising the acquiring the habit until late lv when we woke up to find that the doggone boosters had boosted the necessaries of life to a heirhth beyond our reach and now we-nave to co hungry on account of that boosting habit. Let them boost their friends, neighbors, improvement and all that. VIC shall not object, but when they rsair t5 boost the bread out Of our mouth, there bv boost us out of what we thought was a pretty
