Accuses Germany of Greed.

Berlin, July 80 (via Copenhagen)-
DR.. George Michaelis, the German
Imperial Chancellor, on Saturday
summoned large number of news
papermen, to whom he declared:
The speech of David Lloyd George
the British Premier, at Queens Hall,
London, and the recent debate in the
British House of Commons again have
proved with 1ndisputable clearness
that Great Britain does not desire
peace by agreement and understand
ing, but only conclusion of the war
which means the enslavement Of Ger
many to the arbitrary violence of our
enemies.
proof of this may be seen in the
fact that Sir Edward Carson (mem-
Der of the British War Cabinet) re-
Gently declared in Dublin that nego-
ttations with Germany could begin
only after the retirement of German
troops beyond the Rhine. In response
to a question put by Commoner JOS
eph King, A. Bonar Law the spokes-
man of the British Government in the
House of Commons, modified this dec
laration by fixing the standpoint Of
the British Government as being that
if Germany wanted peace she first of
all must declare herself willing to
evacuate the occupied territories.
1--WE possess clear proofs that the
enemy gives assent to a declaration
going even further than that impu-
IDENTITY made by Sir Edward Carson.
You all know that detailed Informal
ton regarding the French plans Of
conquest, approved by Great Britain
and Russia, has been circulated for
weeks past in the neutral press and
that it has not been denied up to the

Hubert H. Harrison, one Of their race,
when he attacked Colonel Roosevelt ,
yesterday afternoon. He was replying
to the assertion of a previous speaker
that the colonel's denunciation of this
East st. Louis killings had buried
Brownsville deeper than the bottom
Of the sea- y. Pest
'Roosevelt's act in Carnegie hall
may have buried Brownsville" said
Mr.. Harrison, who is a street corner
socialist speaker. That is the
trouble with us negroes. We remem.
Der little thing like pat on tha

When Roosevelt's action would have
had the backing Of political position
he did absolutely nothing for us. IT,
when he was president, he had in-
sisted upon a federal law against
lynching, I would be for him.
In another part of his address Mr..
Harrison said:
I'VE know that white people will
love us just as long as they can use
us and that they cannot be trusted
any longer. What we want is not
their love, but their respect. You can
love little dog. We do very we'll al
little dogs.
Before allegiance to the flag itself
come our allegiance to the negro
race"
Several speakers charged that there
is scheme to draft negroes under the .
CONSUMPTION act, not for the army
but for farm work. They said men OF
their race are anxious to do military
service but will resist being put to
work on farms. James c. Thomas jr,
said he would take a term in Jail
rather than work on a farm. unless
white men were compelled to do 50

They will not be forgotten for some

Herr Erzberger is honest in his at

There can be no peace until Germany
is ready to admit that she does not

does not, and probably will not admit
that. Any peace brought about under
such conditions would not be peace,
but a truce. 1t would be but

Germany could prepare for another

President Wilson in his great war

DRECOLL AND THE DIRECTOIRE
The house of Drecoll presided over
BY NJ Wagner, has gone to the direc-
toire for inspiration. This is not a
startling departure, for Drecoll has
already seen the possibilities suggested
by the slim, pencil like gowns worn by
women when France was fighting for
her ultimate freedom.
This directoire touch is shown In a
vast variety of gowns in France today.
and although it will not be repeated in
Its most eccentric form, there is a good
deal Of evidence that women who wear
1t will stand out in the highlight of
fashion.
Drecoll cuts his skirts down to the
slimmest line. sometimes opening them
over petticoats of another color. He
uses the long. tight sleeve that runs
to the wrist or knuckles, and he has a
modified position coat effect on his
frocks which is very good.
Drecoll introduced the redingote last
spring, and 1t has steadily won its
way to high favor in France, 1t is
built on directoire lines, and sometimes
he embroiders it in brilliant and bar
barrie patterns.
1t was Drecoll who brought out the
shade of brown which is called Mary
land after the cheap cigarette which
is smoked by the art stuGents of Paris
and also by the coachmen. It's stately
English pronunciation is broken by
the French into quaint bits of speech,
put nevertheless. it is the same word,
the same tobacco, and it has a happy

significance to both the Americans and

at all
He tries out bit of first empire

that wonderful hydrangea blue that
Callot made so famous the summer BE-
fore the war
The really odd fashion in Worth s
exhibition is the skirt which has it's
hem turned under and gathered to the
lining. Jenny has hammered on this
skirt for four years Cheruit insisted
upon it as far back as seven years ago
and Poiret has used it since the OPEN
using it. it looks as though it has been
elevated to a dignified rank.
JENNY'S ORIENTAL SKIRT
Possibly. no one expected the house
of Jenny to omit her Algerian skirt,
as some call it, with it's light fullness
at the waistline and it's tucked under
hem which gives the appearance Of
oriental trousers. Jenny likes this
skirt, she finds hundreds of women
who will wear 1T, and although the
men have a strong aversion to 1t and
criticize the women of their family
who adopt it, 1t goes on being in fash
ion.
Greater Designers in Paris than
Jenny tried to impose this skirt upon
the American public. but they were not
successful. When, however, this little
wren-like designer says that this Kind
of skirt is the correct one to wear, the
American women take it up without
argument, for Jenny has a strange and
persuasive effect upon what is called
in America the large and respecta BILE
middle class. Be well assured, how.
ever. that her influence does not resi-
there; but it is curious how strongly
it exists there.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1917-09-16

And here is another strange thing
that Jenny has done in her new ex .
hibition. She has gone against the
other designers and made bodice that
is almost as low as those that Callot
middle class care for such gowns dur
ing war time? Well, if they get a bit
excited over this departure into the
extreme by their best beloved design
err, probably they will become more
upset over the knowledge that Jenny
not only introduces the oriental skirt
with its trousered hem. but puts full
trousers under transparent skirts,
making one look even more oriental.
1t is. of course, Algiers and not Con
stantinople from which these French
designers draw their inspiration.
Perish the thought that Turkey GAG

from France She may have been the
sick man of Europe for decades, but
she is now the dead man Of Europe to

However. there are quite enough
oriental suggestions to be found in
the French colonies. and enough color
and line and originality in those AL
gerian cafes along the blue ocean,
where sit the gayly CARRIED French sol :
diers.
Jenny also uses the exceedingly high
1ur collar on tailored suits, and the
trench mufflers and apache cravats as
substitute for collars.

mouse has brought out. 1t was told
