 WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. IT, An amplification of the Entente an swer to President Wilson's peace note was received today at the state department in the shape of a note from Lord Baltour, the British for eign minister. The note was de livered through British Ambassador Spring-Rice tnis morning.
 The new note reiterates the state ment contained in the first message, to the effect that it is impossible at the present time to attain a peace which assures any guarantee of per nanency. It repeats the demands formerly made for the expulsion of Turkey from Europe, the restora- tion of Alsace and Lorraine to France and of Italia Irredenta to Italy. The

WOMAN'S DEPARTMENT

A recent fashion letter from Chi cago says:
 One of the most interesting gowns among those displayed at the sea sons initial style show tempered the airy frivolity of net skirts with a rich over garment of embroidery. This over garment was bodice and panel combined, and was sleeveless The colorings were in the blues, greens. bronze and black of the pea cock feather, which inspired the de signer in a courageous effort to imi tate the gorgeous achievement of nature. The effect was splendid and big peacock feather fan fin ished off the toilette. Comparison was therefore easy and the em- broidery did not suffer.
 Judging from this frock, skirts re main as full as they have been, but are not artificially distended They are little heightened. and this fea- ture of the new modes may be em- phasized as the season advances. The bodice is in reality an extended girdle, and the fate of the evening bodice appears still to hang in the balance. A few daring models are displayed in which there is next to nothing at the back of the waist In one beautiful frock the details of the toilette included a little silk variety bag. These small. brilliant necessities of life seem to be with US always in one form or another, and they are attached to fans. um- brella and parasol handles, walking sticks, etc They are small, elabo- rate affairs, made of ribbon or silk in the richest weayes, and ornament ed with tinsel faces, beads, en- broidcry. and needlework, with me talic threads. Even garters are re quired to support small cases made of ribbon to match them.
 Those who are in with present styles need not be told that there is an immense variety in the designs in which practical coats are made. Certain style features are present in all of them. But to suit individual taste there Is a wide choice in ma terials and in colors and especially in the construction of the garment
 As to the general style features of the new coat; First, they are long, in many cases quite covering the dress; they are made of heavy material, and the most interesting innovations in cut and decoration are to be found in the back of the gar ment. In colors, besides the staple,

MT. Moisant happened to be in the vicinity of Glen Ellen, where the Lon don ranch is located, and, being a friend of the family, called upon the author. Jack London looked the pie ture of health, and the camera man little thought that he was grinding out picture of historic importance in the literary world because the journey into the shadow was SO close at hand
 Jack London was pictured just as he lived-a hale, big hearted fellow of Gods great out-of-doors. He is shown driving a farm wagon, curry ing his favorite horse, feeding his blue-ribbon pigs, and lounging about the ranch house where his recent stories were written. There are charming glimpses of home life, as pictured in the splendid companion ship between himself and his wife. The author is shown as he helps her mount her horse and waves to her as she passes out of sight. And the last picture of all shows the author of "The Call of the Wild," and other red-blooded volumes that are truly American, as he holds squirming. squealing armful of little pigs, whose antics cause him to laugh heartily.

FUTURE PLANS
 OF CLUB BOARD
 ARE ANNOUNCED

Plans for the immediate future aC- tivities of the organization were dis cussed and inaugurated at a meet, ing of the new executive board of the Tanana club, the mems social club of Fairbanks, held yesterday afternoon These include arrangements for further improvements in the club rooms, increasing the membership and pleasurable enjoyments for club members.
 Ladies nights at the club were also discussed, and in the end it was decided that they will be held once per month. instead of once per week, as was the case last win. ter. The ladies' night will be the last Friday evening in each month. The first will therefore be on Friday evening, January 26 On that night the club doors will be thrown open at : r. NJ. to ladies escorted by club members or possessing card, signed by the president and secre, tary of the organization, entitling them to admission.
 The big event, however. will be the dance which is now being plan ned. Arrangements for the affair were not completed yesterday, but after the meeting 1t was announced that the ball, which the board plans will be the event of the sea, son, will probably take place on the evening of Friday, February 16. Just where it will be held has not yet been decided upon. but the board will probably select one of the dane ing floors of the city best adapted to the size of the crowd which will be present. It is stated. however, that the number of tickets which will be issued to the affair will be limited. It will be full dress ball in every respect, the club board hay. ing decided, in that regard, to again inaugurate the social custom which prevailed when Fairbanks was a boom camp. Tickets for the dance will be sold at $5 each
 Regarding the clubs internal ac' tivities, the club board is making numerous plans, including improve ments and arrangements for spor. of different kinds. It is probable that a bottle pool tournament will be inaugurated and that there will also be a bridge whist drive" Ii you are not familiar with the latter term, Hook in the book and see"
 Improvements will consist of re pairs on the building which houses the club and also of club fixtures. The owners of the building have al ready agreed to make the necessary repairs in that regard, and the club board has decided that the internal improvements are an absolute neces- sity.
