BRITISH NOTE TO RUSSIA
Approve. Principles In Wilson's Mes
SAGE to Congress.

London, June 13.-In reply to the
Russian governments request for
statementN of the British war aims
Great Britain has forwarded to Petro-
grad a note in which it expressed
hearty acceptation and approved of
the principles which President Will
son laid down in his historic message
to congress.
The British government believes,
broadly speaking, that the agreements
made from time to time with Britain's
allies are conformable to these stand
ards.
The purpose of Great Britain at the
outset, says the note, was to defend
the existence of the country and en-
force respect for International agree
ments. Since then there has been
added that of "liberating populations
oppressed by alien tyranny" The
note bespeaks not only the liberation
of Poland by Russia, but Of that Sec
tion of Poland within the domination
of the Germanic empires.

.DES MONIES CHOSEN
FOR BIG ARMY CAMP

Washington, June 13.-Minnesota
has lost the Thirteenth divisional can.
tonment for the new army to Iowa.
The war department announced that
Des Moines has been awarded the
camp.
1t was said at the Office of Newton
d. Baker, secretary of war, that Des
Moines was chosen because the extra
land needed near Fort Smelling was
held at an exorbitant price.
Minnesota lost the cantonment for
these two reasons:
The price asked for the extra land
needed at Fort Smelling was declared
exorbitant by the war department.
Iowa is dry and Minnesota is wet.
The fact that the wet and dry ele'
ment had entered into the contest did
not become known until after the an
nouncement of the selection was made
by Secretary of War Baker.

London, June 13.-On every West
ern front allied pressure is squeezing
the German grip with increasing
strength.
Field Marshal Haig, profiting by his
newly won and dominating positions
on the Observation-Disclosures ridge,
forced reliquishment by the enemy of
an additional patch of Belgian terri

To the south French pressure on the
base of the now badly battered Hin
denburg line is steadily increasing in
conflict marked by intense artillerying.
Italy is apparently started on an
other offensive. This time the blow is
on the 1'rentino, adding another the
ater of active fighting to the great
wars development.
Italy has just concluded the first
stage of one highly successful often
sive in the Carso. Austria must keep
greater forces constantly massed there
to meet the menace of General Cador-
mas ever Tightening grip on Trieste,
now in sight of the Italian forces.
Austria must also hurry reserves to
the Trentino to stop encroachments on
her own territory. What makes the
new Italian drive Of particular interest
here is the fact the fighting Is over
Teutonic ground. 1t is one of the few
places in the world war in Europe
where the Teutons are fighting the
battle brought to their own land.
There is still hope that Russia may
be revived into active participation in
the fighting.

Paris, June 13.-President Wilson's
note to Russia occupied a prominent
position in the French newspapers.
The general current of editorial

all states being based upon liberal
principles throughout the world and

Washington, June 13.-The Amer

Consular reports which brought the
news of the disaster said one boat
with eighteen men, the third mate and
the chief engineer had been landed
and two boats with an unstated num-
Der of men are missing.
The time and place of the attack

The Petrolite, tank steamer, first
figured in the news almost two years

submarine threatening diplomatic re-

mcnt and the United States. The
ship was shelled by the submarine
and Petrolite men were wounded.
The submarine sent a crew aboard
the vessel and removed a large guam

The incident was the subject of a
series of notes between the United

HATS ARE OF MANY SHAPES
There Never Was a Time When There
Was So Great Variety as Is
Found This Season.

There never was a time when hat
shapes were so diversified as they are
this season In fact, there are so many
varieties that It would be impossible
for any type of woman to be hated
unbecomingly.
There are many shapes that tend to
the Napoleon styles; novelty tricorns.
models that show the influence Of the
Spanish and hats that are adaptations
Of the Breton.
The directoire and the marquis
shapes come In for much attention,
and shapes that are seemingly inspired
by the Alpine. Poke mushrooms there
are in plenty with their short backs
and long fronts that coquettishly
shade the eyes.
Then there's the hat with the irreg-
ulnr brim edge-sides that shoot out
suddenly In points with the opposite
brim much narrower and perhaps just
describing n round edge. Then again
the crowns are irregular-some show
the four indcntations that one ASSOC
ciatcs with the soldier hat then there
Is the Japanese crown that Is highly
peaked.

teriai, Even Chiffon.

Since the simple silhouette Is an es-
tnblished fact, an opportunity has been
given women to spend their time and
energy upon the charming details Of
their costumes. In America we have
been so buslly engaged changing the
cut of skirts and the width Of sleeves
that we had no spare moments to spend
upon the little hand touches, the ex-
pert fin;shings, and the hemstltched
edges. These seemingly Insignificant
nlceties are really important, says
II writer In the New York Times. In
Paris they realized that ages ago and
took advantage Of the fact, sending us
each season creations to excite envy
because Of their infinite attention to
the little things that put their stamp
of perfection upon the finished gown.
Wool embroidery, the Partisan edlct
Is, shall be an important factor In the

and then worked over In tiny, close

the whole creation has become pnsse.

Two things, above all others, IRE re-
quired for the success of the separate
skirt. When It Is made In plain, famil-
lar materials 1t must be rescued from
the commonplace by faultless fit and
workmanship. When made of novelty
weaves the selection of unusual and
appropriate patterns reflects the best
talent or mOdistes. 1t takes an instinct
for dress or an educated taste to make
the most of the separate skirt.
Beautiful color combinations, In
broad and narrow stripes, and original
methods In making are found In the
new separate skirts for afternoon
wear. Some very handsome plaids are
among them but stripes afford better
opportunities for the designer. A fine
example of what may be done with
them appears In the picture above.
Taffeta, in black, old blue and white
stripes, laid In wide plaits makes n
skirt that can afford to dispense with
any cost Of trimming. 1t hangs from
high waistline where three overlap
ping bias folds make wide girdle eX-
tending to the hip. The same fold is
laid in the semblance of pocket ut
each side finished with II row Of small

BIG DESIGNS IN CRETONNES
Tendency lie Toward Large Figures,
Especially for Window Curtains
and Chair Cushions.

There is, perhaps, no very distinctive
thing about the new cretonnes and
chntzes and printed linens-and, per-
haps, that Is just what gives them their
characteristic charm. For among them
can be found one to suit every sort of
taste.
Perhaps the tendency is toward big
designs-although there are charming
small designs II you want them. But
the big designs are more effective, IL Is
safe to say, for window curtains and
cushions in chairs--and nowadays
yards and yards of cretonne are used
for these purposes. Moreover, the bags
that are made now are so huge that
even large designs show well on them.
The bird has come to stay in Gre
tonne, and he appears In more gOr-
geOus plumage than ever this year. He
Is most often n parrot. perhaps be-
cause the parrot has such gaudy plum
age by nature that unexaggerated II
makes colOrful cretOnne. Sometimes
he Is some other sort of tropical bird,
Of gayly colOred plumage. Occasionally
he Is an almost cOlorless bird of some
sort--and I'm dull rose and gray-black
he is quite as effective as the brilliant
parrot.
Then. little figures, chiefly Of Chi
nese and Japanese sort. appear on some
of the new cretonnes. These are very
attractive in some places, and are quite
unattractive in others. In many of
the smartest new bags they are used to
distinct advantage. And sometimes
they may be employed in hangngs
with very good effect.
