| NEW YORK, June 27.-President
Allan r. Hawley Of the Aero Club
Of America, will recommend to the
American government the building OF
20 900 battle planes and the training
! of 5000 American aviators for the
Russian front Immediately, he an
nounced in q statement to the united
Press here today.
Russia is fighting blind" said
Hawley. "And the greatest practical
service we can render that strug-
ling democracy is eyes for her army
and artillery. She has multitudes OF
men. She has more guns and ammu-
nition than 10 suspected. She is
more ready to tight than we know.
"Russia's worst handicap Is lack of
air craft We are the only one of
the allies in position to remedy the
shortage.
IF we can equip the Russians with
good aerial eyes at the same time
I've overwhelm the Teutons on the
western front with our twenty thou
sand aviators and 100000 fighting
planes, the crushing power OF our
blow will be augmented by at least
fifty percent.
plans are well advanced for the
manufacture Of the 100000 planes

the western front.
I'VE can add Ave thousand men
and twenty thousand planes to the
program without much trouble be-
cause our machinery <awill soon be
standardized for immense produc-
tion."
Hawley's idea is that we should
send one air squadron to the Rus
sian front as quickly as possible,
'.for moral effect"
"One air squadron would accom-
plish wonders in battle" said Haw-
ley, "and 1t would convince Russia
that America is in to fight for and

BERLIN (via London) June 81
Agitation for immediate liberalization
of Germany is growing daily. Even
newspapers of heretofore strongly
conservative tendencies, are urging
reforms. A number of leaders of Ger
man thought, heretofore reactionary,
apparently now favor greater reform.
Such newspapers as the Vorwaerts
(the socialist organ) the Tageblatt
and Vossosche. are pointing the way.
But most signif1ant was the statement
issued today by the historian, Prof.
Otto Huntze. He said:
1--WE Prussians cannot stand alone
in the midst Of Germany, Of Europe
and of the whole world and resist
liberalization. We are threatened
with dangerous isolation from the
worlds people"
The greatest Importance was at
tached to Professor Huntze's declara-
tions since he has heretofore never
given evidence of any liberal ten
dencies.
1.-THE reichstag will reopen its
sessions July five, and on that date
the so-called constitution committee
will make it's report This body, of
which Philip Scheidemann, the major
ity socialist leader, Is chairman,
adopted the resolutions In May which
were enthusiastically hailed by GER
tain elemtnts in Germany as tending
toward immediate liberalization Of
the government. The constitution
committee had been authorized to
make recommendations by the kaiser
himself.
Their suggestions as announced
May 81 were:
To make the imperial chancellor

clining to give the reichstag any pow

Medieval Sleeve
Well Liked Here

New York.-It is not possible to d.
vide the new gowns into strongly diff
fering sections. No designer has taken
period and copied her gowns from it
with certainty and exactitude. All of
the French and American workers have
5umbled their history in way that
would give the seeker after truth q
brainStorm.
1t is well for the public at large
that the designers do not stick too
closely to period clothes. When the
decorators insist that one cannot
have a curtain, vase or a cushion
IN room that is drawn from a GER
tain period, we get beautiful pieces
of interior decorative work which
should be in museum, but which have
little relationship to an intimate home
life.
1t is wise for every woman to learn,
and it would be well If one could only
teach the artists and decorators the
same thing, that exhibition work is
one thing, but the kind of work that
one must live with is another. We
can go to museums or department
shops and see period rooms and period
dress, but human nature resents the
thought of having such limited waking
and sleeping hours. Therefore, we
greet with pleasure the fact that vastly
different periods of history have been
dipped into for the new clothes; but
anachronism is rife.
Cabot and the Empire.
The CallOt gowns were the last to
get to this country, and they pre-
sented no new note, except the intro
duction of the First Empire sill
houette. Even when Callot took the
most symbolic feature of this period,
which is the high waistline that
slightly girdles the figure just under
the bust, she added medieval sleeves
to it that the Empress Josephine
never wore.
The most dominant First Empire
frock that Callot has sent over is of
brilliant red that is neither geranium
Japanese nor wine. She calls it Gin
cendi"." 1t has the richness of a
ruby in the light and resembles that
Jewel to the inexperienced eye more
than the flames from a cOnfagration.
This gown is not married by trim
ming. AS the French say, it goes
without a garnish. The neck is not
low in the way that Cabot is apt to
arrange it, and the sleeves not only
cover the arms and wrists, but the
back of them hangs to the knees
when the arms are dropped.
When Cabot features a new thing,
1t is bound to be significant, and,

Medieval Sleeve Featured.
Probably the medieval sleeve will
receive more attention from Ameri-
cnn women than the First Empire
waistline. This fact is increasingly
evident in the exhibitions of Amerl-
can-designed gowns, which have OBJ
viously taken the medieval sleeve as
the chief feature.

written concerning this sleeve. II
has played a most historic part In the
evolution Of fashion throughout the
centuries.
