wedged. 1t forms a salient that Is be-
ing rapidly strengthened and organ
lied.
The first woman who appeared in
a military outfit at fashionable res
taurant at the noon hour received as
much enthusiastic attention as did the
young artillery man who stood be-
hind a rapid firing gun mounted In
the lobby of the hotel. with poster
asking for subscriptions to the Liberty
loan as background.
The woman who wore the military
costume had just come of duty and
was getting her lunch in as much of
a hurry as she could. 1t amused her
very much that a number of people
thought she was in fancy dress cos
tune.
She wore the khaki of the United
States army. Russian leather, low
heeled shoes, a very short. scant skirt,
a khaki regulation military jacket and
the regulation cap.
Against the background Of filmy
chiffon, strings Of pearls, picture hats
and Oriental garb, she made delight
full picture. She was the essence of
simplicity, efficiency and trigness.
Within the month the desire for the
military costume has grown so great
that one sees all classes Of wem-
en- on errands of war relief in these
khaki outfits. Women who have been
taking their lessons in ambulance
driving, walk through the streets
wearing the full, khaki breeches
which the uniform prescribes. and over
their shoulders is the full, swirling
cape of the French ambulance and avi-
alton corps.
Greeted With Difference.
Women have long worn riding
breeches on the street, covered with
q cape or a long top coat, and this new
ambulance costume creates less at
tention In large centers than it would
have done half-dOzen years ago; but
even now it creates a ripple of interest
which is always attended by approval
and admiration. There are no jests,
no satirical remarks, no laughter from
the men as these uniformed wOmenpass
through the ranks Of people on the
streets. Some OF the Difference Is
shown to them that is given to the
women with the red cross on their
costumes or the brassard of mercy on
their arms.
1t is happy fact to remember,
when one is separating the segments
Of fashion for this summer, that the
1S4O-6O-7O fashions for women have
not reappeared. They were ugly, futile
and costly. Fortunately for us, in this
season Of embrOgliO, we are not asked
to wear frills and flounces, streaming
ribbons and roses.
Medievalism is severe, even II gor.
geOus at times. The Napoleonic fash
ions are economical, for they run from
what is known as the First Empire

Aims to Rule Asia
Her Interest Is in Post-Bel

Washington, May lG. Japan does not

the United States, as reported IN recent
dispatches from the Far East. accord
ING to high Administration officials.
The questions now under consideration
al the conferences in Washington DO
not involve the interests OF the Orien-
tai power, IL is pointed out. Japan mas
already frequently waived her right to
representation at the Allied confer
cnces held abroad
Japan, IL is stated, is much more IN
tcrested in the post-bellum arrange
monts than in any Of the immediate
problems confronting the Allied pow
ers. The Japanese press, according 70
rcports reaching Washington, is be
coming more insistent that the govern
ment adopt a stronger foreign policy.
Many Of the foremost editors and pup
licists have declared vigorously for a
japanese hegemony over Asia, and, 1t
is believed, this will be incorporated IN
the Oriental nations proposed peace
settlement after the war.
Japan's Views Given
A statement Of this view, written by
Unosuke Wakamaya, one Of the fore
most sociologists in Japan. appeared
recently in the "Chuwo Koron." After
excoriating Christianity and Western
civilization, Dr. Wakamaya writes:
The great Asia policy is means OF
self-defence. Il is a declaration with
the object of sweeping away from Asia
all the anti-Asiatic influences when
are robbing. or are trying to rob, the
Agiatics OF their heritage in Asia.
More concretely speaking, it is new
ideal to reject European and American
influences which recognize Asio but do
not recognize the Asiatics, and to build
