The appeal to men to save Woolen material by reducing the frills on their clothes is good,
 Belted coats, except the few sporty Norfolks used for golfing, will disappear next year; and fashion designs will naturally follow the tendency of recent date in scanty dimensions, without radical change. That is about all that's possible, unless We all take to knickerbockers. Wearing old clothes is sure to become fashion able hence men should select the best sort of new clothes that will "jolly up" and look good for several seasons. The other day a GUS toner wore i'll here an Overcoat he had used for ten years and after buy ing a new one had the old coat sent home for bad weather. How dis couraging!

Washington, Organization of the house by Democrats was said to be assured tonight by Representative Randall of California, prohibitionist and one of the five so-called independents upon whom the political conn plexion of the house has seemed to hinge.
 Mr. Randall returned tonight from Los Angeles. Alter reading a statement issued during the day by Republican Leader Mann to retire from the race for the speakership in favor of Speaker Clark if a bipartisan or nonpartisan organization was agreed upon, he said Mr. Mann was too late, that he is in a DO, sition to say that enough of the independents would vote with

 There have been indications for several days that the Demo- cratic leaders had received satis factory information concerning the independents. Speaker Clark and other spokesmen of the par ty have predicted the outcome apparently with complete conf dence.
 Democrats and Republicans go into the organization fight with 214 members each and 21S votes are required to elect the speaker. So four of the five inde pendents must join the Demo. crats to re. e.elect Speaker Clark unless there are defections from the Republican ranks.

BURDEN Of WAR
FALLS ON us.
American Army Official States That
Russia Is Eliminated, France Weak
and America Must Win War
BY Webb Miller
nited Press Correspondent

tUnited PreSS COrrespOndentt
Washington. May 25.-Russia La
out OF the war. as far as military
power is concerned, for at least two
years; France Is about at the end OF
her man-power.
These are the cold facts about the
war situation. as seen today by mill
tary men who are In position to
know conditions by reason OF inti-
mate knowledge Of American observ-
ers' reports.
While Great Britain still has con-
siderable punch" left, these mill
tary men believe that the struggle
abroad is rapidly reaching the point
where the United States must bear
the main burden.
The war, they say, will be long.
The west front struggle. the experts
say. has been misinterpreted, and
unreliably reported. either through
the allies unwillingness to let real
fact be known or to ignorance
OF the exact state OF facts on the
part Of American newspapers.
These men declare that for many
months the American people have
been led astray as to the real situa-
tion. The allies, they declare. are
not making the headway that the
country has been led to believe they
are.
In this connection. they say. that
solution of the submarine menace
must eventually determine to a very
great extent where victory shall rest,
except for what part America shall
play in the struggle.
That our apathy will cease when
blood begins to spill. is the main
hope Of military men, who say
frankly at present the country's in
terest is insufficient. as shown
graphically by recruiting figures,
slowness to subscribe to liberty
bonds" and other signs.
The selective draft system will get
the men. but the spirit must be
aroused. the experts hold.
