WAR CLOTHES EDlcT
IN FORCE NEXT YEAR
w.. s. Defense Board Joins Allies for
Simple Apparel Of Both sexes

Washington, Nov 28.-Fashion has
decreed severe lines for next years
gowns Frills and furbelows are to
be taboo as a measure OF war econo-
nv, and both men and women. IL they
want to be stylish must be patriotic.
This Is the decree OF the Entente
Allies handed down through the Coun-
Gil of National Defense of the United
States and the Paris designers.
| Wooden clothes will be particularly
affected, and a saving of 25 per cent
on our annual wool consumption is
expected to be realized by doing away
with useless belts. deep hens. pleats
and pitch pockets. This economy
also will be extended to silks and
other cloths to conserve raw material
and manufacturing resources.
The decree goes into effect next
summer The fall clothes for 1913
will be decidedly war garments. Rep
resentatives of the Commercial Econ
omy Board of the Council of Defense
have held extensive conferences with
New York and Paris designers and
have decided that putting the decree
into effect this year would work harm
through it's effect on the clothes In
dustries already prepared for the
seasons business.
Defense Council officials declared to
day that they do not believe women's
skirts will be shortened because OF
the increased demand for leather for
high boots that would result.

upon us. This war will go IN; and
none can stop onward nfareh.
If at the end Prussian autocracy
stands fast, then, of course. we have
failed. But no American could think
of failure. So those who do not Want
our country to lose want America to be
strong, strong enough to allow q gen
erous peace, not weak enough to ena-
BILE Prussia to dictate terms Of peace.
To make this p~eace-1oving nation
strong. billions are now needed. Our
soldiers must eat, wear shoes. carry
guns for defense; and surely we ali
want extra comforts for them, too.
Every fighting man must feel that his
people at home are for him heart and
soul. THAT gives the fighting
strength.I So the only question on
cetvable form any American regard
ing the Liberty Loan is this:
Shall America be weak or shall
America be strong?
More MOney-Less BIoOdShed.
If anv sentimentaIist should answer
that he does not care to lend. his money
and send our boys to death abroad"
we may truthfully tell him that every
dollar he now giveswill mean a drop
Of American blood saved.
Pacif1sts and pro-Germaps can not
stop our American soldiers from go
ing abroad. Our boys will go-and
more will go, and still more-until the
decisive day. The harder We strike,
the sooner that exodus will end.
If we could have ready today equip
ment representing $50, 000, 900 900, how
many days before. Germany would sue
for peace? We can not raise fifty bill
lion in a year, but we are doing our
best. And every citizen who does his
best Offending his utmost may gen
timely feel that he is keeping a boy,
perhaps 10. perhaps so American boys,
out of the death-dealing. trenches.
Hence more money means less blood
shed.
Hour of Danger Upon Us.
Let us not deludel ourselves that our
task is simple, Gernnany's army today
is larger than ever; her nav is prac-
tically untouched. and she is even now
planning new terrors-submarines ap-
pearing in fleets like schools of sharks
and a~ircrafts in locks. The German
people might be willing to stop. But
those who teach and rule them will
fight to the death. They are fighting
not Off life but for mastery over mil
lions, for unending glory" even
