The first sketch shows one of the
latest forms of the straight frock. 1t
has three large tucks over the should
ers, stitched to yoke depth and contin.
ued in soft pleats below the waist.
The lower part of the dress, the collar
and cuffs are of figured material. A
belt extending around the sides and
back, with two narrow straps filling
the gap across the front, marks the
normal waistline.
The other sketch shows a design
also suitable for two fabrics. The
waist and kimono sleeves are of plain
white wolfe, the yoke, cuffs and skirt
Of figured wolfe. In many Of the frocks
developed in two materials in this
way, motifs from the figured material
are cut out and applied to collar and
cuffs to make the trimming.

Gray a Leading Color.

Evidently, gray is one of the smart
est of the light colors this season.
Sand, beige and putty are others which
have already been successfully launch
ed. The popular gray is soft tone,
most attractive in dresses of chiffon
and crepe beaded or braided elabor
ately in deeper tone of gray. For the
most part, all-gray is generally favor
ed, but a touch of light blue or coral
pink appears here and there.
Even in shoes, gray is color con
siderably used. Gray suede and kid
pumps are exceptionally smart to go
with afternoon dresses, and in shoes
for street wear the gray suede uppers
with gray kid or black patent-leather
vamps are most desirable. Gray for
gloves is also fashionable, especially
to match the shoes or dress.
Another color we see more and more
of is the dull old-gold. Suits, dresses,
separate waists and skirts alike claim
it as their own. Very popular, too. are
the mustard and citron shades. When
used in combination with any other
color, navy blue or black is usually
chosen to be the companion of gold
Both navy and black, but navy in par
ticular, used with SAND and beige make
excellent combinations.
Just now the black satin skirt with
a white chiffon blouse worn over it is
considered very chic. The blouse may
be trimmed with filet lace, embroidery
or fine tucks. With white satin or silk
jersey skirts these long slip-on blouses
are also charming,
Still the Straight one-Piece Frock
The appearance of the barrel skirt
has in no way diverted attention from
the straight one-piece frock. 1t con
tinues to hold its sway and still finds
favor with the masses. And new va
riations OF it appear perpetually.

@. KS COLOMBIA PACT
SENATE COMMITTEE APPROVES
TREATY WITH SOME CHANGES.
Foreign Relations Body Makes Amount
to Be Paid $25, 900 600 Instead
Of SIS 100000

Washington, March 1.-THE senate
foreign relations committee approved
in modified form the treaty with Co
lOmbia by which the United States
would pay that republic $25,000,000
for the separating of Panama from
Colombia. 1t will be pressed to a vote
in the present special session of the
senate.
Important changes were made in the
treaty. Instead of an expression of
'sincere regret" by the United States
for the secession of Panama, the new
treaty contains d joint expression of
regret by the United States and Colon
bia for any incidents that have married
the friendly feeling between the two
nations.
\ special article has Colombia ac-
knowledge the title of the United
States to the Canal zone.
An amendment to the original treaty,
attached last session, reducing the
payment from S25O0O,OOO to $4,000
600, was stricken out
Republican opposition is expected to
be allayed to some extent by the
changes, but still there are some SEN
ators as much opposed as ever.
AS the treaty has been changed, a
new ratification by Colombia would be
necessary.

TURK ARTILLERY LOST
CAPTURE NEARLY TWO
THIRDS OF FOES GUNS.
sonar Law Tells Commons of Victory
at agdad-Russians Pursue
Enemy.

London March 13.-After annOunc-
ing the fall of Bagdad in the house of
commons, Andrew Bonar Law, chan
cellOr of the eXchequer, said there was
every reason to believe that twO-thirdS
of the Turks artillery had fallen into
the hands of the British or had been
thrown into the Tigris.
Mr.. Bonar Law said the fall of Bag
dad came as a sequel to a series of
brilliant operations carried out by
British and Indian troops with dash
and determination for which no praise
could be too high. When General
Maude, commander of the MesOpO-
tamian army, crossed the Tigris above
kut- ei-Amara last month he imperiled
the safety Of the Turkish army. The
Turks immediately retired on Bagdad
and We're pursued with the utmost en-
ergy. Large numbers of prisoners and
quantities Of materials of all kinds
we're captured.
Replying to a question by Winston
Churchill, formerly first lord of the adj
niralty, BOnar Law, chancellor of the
eXcheQuer, declared in commons that
the LIoyd-GeOrge cabinet was respon-
sible for certain exciSiOns" in the re-
Gently published report of the commits
sion appointed to investigate the Oar
danelles campaign.
Churchill was one Of those on whom
the commission blamed some of the
mistakes at the Dardanelles.
PetrOgrad, March 13.-The Russian
column operating toward the MesopO

Turks from a position near Bsitun,
the Turks retiring to Hadjiabad.
Caucasus front: On March in
the direction of Hamadan, we routed
the Turks from their position near
Bisitun and occupied it." the state
ment says. "Hard-pressed by our

Asia Minor to Constantinople, has in

confidence any spring offensive which
the enemy may launch. The chamber
will pardon me if [ preserve silence

GERMANS REPULSE BRITISH
Berlin Reports on Operations South Of
Arras and in the Champagne
Sector

Berlin, March 14-Following artil-
lery preparation English detachments
attacked on wide front south of Ar
ras, near Beaurains, but were repulsed
with heavy losses, the war Office an
nOunced.
Lively fighting occurred in the
Champagne and on both banks of the
Mouse. After a drum fire, the French

Germans the much disputed Hill 185,
dominating the region south of Ripont,
but the Germans maintained their po-
sitions in the face Of numerically su-
peri0r forces.
The French made what the war of
fee described as a locally limited
gain of ground" on the southwest
slope but at heavy losses, it was
stated.

WORLD TOLD i. s.
SHIPS WILL ARM
State Department Notifies All
Embassies.
WILL NOT VIOLATE LAW
Senate Enters Upon Second Week of
Special Session-Adjourn Is
Expected Within
Few Days.

Washington, March 13.-Formal no
tice that American ships traversiGg
the German submarine zone are to
carry armed guard for the protection
of the vessel and the lives of the per-
sons on board" was sent by the state
department to embassies and legations
of all foreign governments in Wash
ington.
Following is the text OF the COM
municatiOn as made public by the state
department:
In view of the announcement of
the imperial German government on
January 81, 1917, that all ships, those
of neutralS included, met within GER
tain zones of the high seas, would be
sunk without any precautiOn being
taken for the safety of the persons on
board, and without the exercise of
visit and search, the government of
the United States has determined to
place upon all American merchant YES
sells sailing through the barred areas
an armed guard for the protection of
the vessels and the lives OF the per-
sons on board"
Proceed With Ship Aiming.
The American government having
announced it's decision to proceed with
the arming of merchantmen intending
to go to Europe in defiance of Ger
many's ruthless submarine campaign,
no further details on the situation
were given out.
Many interesting questions relating
to the new policy remained unan-
sWered. The only statement author
lied was that nothing will be done
by the government not in strict ac-
cord with international law.
The senate entered upon it's second
and probably the final week of it's spe-
cial session. Both houses of congress
will meet in special session on April
Is and many senators are known to
be anxious to pass as much of the in
tervening time as possible at home
Adjournment of the special session
is looked for after the senate considers
number of nominations, including
that of DR.. Cary 7. GraysOn, naval
aid to President Wilson, to be medi-
cal director and rear admiral in the
navy. No serious opposition to his
confirmation is expected.
Indications are that no attempt will
be made at present to ratify the S15,-
100000 Colombian treaty.
