OUR STATE DEPARTMENT LIT
TIE INTERESTED IN PRUs-
SIAN-AMERlCAN TREATY.
NO ACTION is PLANNED YET
Kaiser Wants Freedom for His Peo-
pie Here-United States Will
Live Up to Spirit of Compact
Though Germany Don't.

Washington. full text of the
explanatory and supplemental clauses
proposed by Germany as protocol to
the Prussian-American TREATY has
been made public at the state de
partment.
Briefly, the protocol amplifies the
treaty so as to place Germans in this
country and Americans in Germany
in case of war on exactly the same
footing as to all property rights, free
dom from detention, concentration
camps or sequestration of property
that are applicable to other neutrals.
Nationals of either country might
remain fully undisturbed in the 9th
er country as long as they please,
and not for the nine months period
provided in the treaty.
Safety for Merchant Ships.
Merchant ships of either nation
might not be seized or driven to sea
unless under a safe conduct to their
home ports through all possible enc
mics, and their captains and crews
may not be made prisoners.
Officials have pointed out that
while Germany's violation of several
provisions of the treaty may be taken
by this country to have violated the
convention the United States will con-
tinue to live up to it's spirit. Two
proclamations already have guaran-
teed that German ships or private
German property will not, even in
case of war, be seized and used by
this government.
Proposal Not Well Received.
Little interest is shown by the state
department officials in the German
proposals.
There is no indication that any i'm
mediate action will be taken.
Whether the new document consti-
tutes in effect new treaty, subject
to ratification by the senate, or
whether it is a mere explanatory pro-
tocol, is one of the points at issue.
If it is shown to have new provisions
or to modify the sense of the earlier
documents senate approval is essen
tial.

These times of high prices, short
stocks and resulting grumbling Gus
toners make it hard for a merchant
to keep his head. But the one who
remembers his customers first and
serves them the best he can in spite
of all those difficulties, will make his
store friends for a long time to come.

The Man With the Hoe.

In the poem that caught general at
tention a few years ago the man with
the hoe was presented as stunted OBJ
ject, a pathetic failure, without re-
ward for ceaseless hard work, crea-
ture who never had chance to know
Me joy of living. 1t was false note
at the time, but suggested a subject
worthy of thought.
The national secretary Of agricul-
ture has reviewed the food situation
and he declares: ''The farmer who
makes five bushels Of grain grow
where three grew before contributes
as much to victory and the future peace
and security of the world as any man
in the trenches" So runs the argu-
ment everywhere in a world crisis in
which energetic, practical action is a
grim necessity. A danger must be
overcome lest it overcome civilization.
The real man with the hoe is now in
evidence.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

eunuchs of the royal household. Jussuf had been

dating back to the days of the victorious emperors.
The holy prayer was chanted: "Bissm Hlah irrah-

SPAIN FULL or MUSIC NOW
Bands Of Hungarian Gypsies Fled
From France at Beginning of
War to Avoid Internment

Spain is filed with music. At near
ly any hour of night or day one can
hear the twanging and twinging of
musical instruments. The country is
overrun by orchestras of Hungarian
gypsies.
These bands are among the most IA
nous in Europe. They usually are To-
Gated at Paris, Monte Carlo, Nice and
other centers Of gay life. When the
war began these players, being Hum
garians, had to get out of France or
be interned as enemies. If they had
returned to Hungary they would have
had to put rifles on their shoulders in
place of violins. So they all migrated
into Spain, filling the country with
music.
Spain already had its share of gyp-
sizes, relics of the days of the Moors.
These greeted the newcomers with
open arms. They play together and
often hold grand entertainments, at
which one of the Hungarian gypsy
bands play, an Austrian-Polish gypsy
sings and a Spanish gypsy dances,
Pastor Imperio, the fiery queen Of the
Spanish gypsies who married the king
of the bull fighters, Guyio, is one of
the star dancers.
1t is said the weird, Oriental strains
of the Eastern gypsies combining with
the wild tOreador music of the Span
iards makes strange but pleasing
music. A few bars of American rag
time is introduced now and then to
give dash to the dancing of the tango
and one-step. This medley of music is
heard everywhere, at entertainments,
theaters, hotels, concert halls and even
in the Streets, for Spain is crowded
with these wandering players.

LOOKING AHEAD AT
ADVANCE SPRING STYLES
Straw aHts Begin to Put In An APP
pearance-Jersey Cloth Still on
the Hudson.

New York, January 31.-The
temptation to rush the seasons
is very strong at this time of the
year when in every window we
see displays of straw hats and
spring frocks and suits. One
must be very strong-minded to
refrain from blossoming forth
into a spring hat with so many
on show, but the weather is for
bidding and those of us who are
endowed with a sense of the
fitness of things will abstain yet
a while, guided by our better
judgment.
Some of the hats combine straw
and fine felt, or straw and satin,
others are entirely of straw
trimmed with flowers or ribbon,
and a great many are of crepe.
An almost brimless, rather high
crowned little hat was fashioned
entirely of narrow ribbon inter-
laced, giving the impression Of

Boo Coat of Green Jersey Cloth
With White Pleated Skirt.
straw, at distance. 1t was of
narrow blue ribbon with a tiny
red border on either side. The
trimming was a bunch of red
cherries placed on the left side
of the crown. Another hat with
a small upturned brim was of
white silk covered entirely with
machine stitching worked in a
close allover design. Machine
stitching is also very popular
just now as decoration for
suits and dresses, therefore it is
not surprising to find it on hats.
Some NeaO Suits
Very snappy are the new suits
with their nip-length coats. The
DO coat in the sketch is one of
the new models. The pleated
pockets and cuffs tell at once
that this is a 1917 design for
DO coats have never before had
such frivolous pockets. Coats
Of bright colors such as green,
rose, marigold, citron or purple
accompany white skirts which
are either plain, or else spotted
or striped with the color of the
coat. Some of the skirts are
made from bordered material
with the border ait the lower
edge and the top laid in pleats.
In some of these, the designs are
embroidered instead of printed
The designs are generally large
dots or squares worked in two or
three striking colors or in SOL
id color with black or a con-
trasting shade used to outline
the motif.
Jersey, and Still More Jersey
Jersey keeps at the height of
popularity and is now combined
with other materials. A suit of
citron-colored wool jersey was
made with white pique collar.
The collar was, of course, de-
tachable so that it could be re-
moved and laundered with ease.
In another instance, wool jer-
sey was combined with gabar-
dine very pleasingly. The suit
was of purple jersey, and tan
gabardine fashioned the large
collar and revers that went the
length Of the coat. The cuffs
and pocket-laps we're also of the
tan gabardine.

Irish crochet as a dress trim.

Irish crochet as dress trim
ming has been revived again.
The idea was brought from
Paris very recently. On dress
of white Georgette there were
large pockets of Irish crochet
lace, and an edging to match
finished the large bertha on the
waist.
Dresses of white serge also
begin to make their appearance.
Some very attractive models are
seen, frightened here and there
with touches of Oriental en-
broideries.
The sleeveless jumper is
another new departure to which
women have taken kindly. 1t
slips on over the head and is
worn on the outside of the skirt
on the order of the favored Rus
sian blouses. The accompany
ing sketch shows one of these
jumpers developed in the new
dotted fabrics. The jumper is
worn over a plain blouse and
box-pleated skirt. 1t has new
U-shaped pockets and the waist
line is defined by a narrow belt.
Clothes for Small Children
Clothes for very little tots
show some very interesting
points. For the tiny girls party
frocks there are the daintiest Of
white net frocks all fluffy with
frills and narrow pink and blue
ribbons. Alternate rows of pc,c
pink and blue used around tne
bottom of pleated white net
frocl give a most fascinating
effect. There are frocks of SIX.
wolfe and fine linen, too, for the
little ones. These are trimmc |
with fine hand embroidery, irish
crochet lace or shocking, which
is often developed in colors. The
combination of white soutache
braid with band embroidery on
fine white linen dress is quite
novel and very effective.
