COMMISSION TO

Workers for Belgium Loath to
Believe Relief Ships Sunk,

NEW YORK, March 2l.--ln connec-
tion with cable reports OF the ShelInC
OF the relief ships Haelen and Tunlsic
and the alleged killing OF several men
in one OF the life boats the commits
sion for tclicf in Belgium issued the
following statement last night
at is inconceivable that il Ger
man submarine commander made such
an attack and ordered the shooting
down of seven relief ship sailors in an
open lie boat he did so under authorl-
" from his government.
"Thc ships left Holland in ballast
with four others under specific in.
structions from the German govern
ment as to their route and time of sail
ing
Furthermore, the commission had
positive assurances las, week from the
German government that U-boats had
been instructed to pass all relief ships.
II is unthinkable that any government
would at once break its word in such
manner. much less be party . to
wantonly killing relief ship sailors
In such circumstances tho conmls.

NEW YORK, March 2l--lt is one OF
the cherished desires Of the majority OF
women not TO indulge in new ward
robe for the evening when spring
comes
Those who journey to fashionable
and expensive resorts in January are
quite willing to renew their evening
clothes, and the same thing is true
when July comes; but during March
and April, there is always feeling OF
lasstude regarding formal night gay
ETY.. Lent brings relaxation; the
warmer weather suggests informal
gatherings. In great centers, the opera
has ended, the new play, at the thea
ters have run out, the majority OF hos
tesse have done their part in social
entertaining, and all society settles
down to enjoy itself in a more human
and natural manner than was possible
during the winter months,
Fre,hening Old Gowna
Those women who do not cling TO
the higher stratum OF society in all its
forms and methods OF enjoyment feel
even more keenly than the fashionable
women this desire not to bother about
new evening gowns as the spring ap-
proaches They like to furbSh up the
ones they own; they add bit OF tulle
here. a new bodice lining there; they
replace a torn sleeve with fresh one
and thus, after enlivening the evening
outfit BY def touches. they hang the
gowns back into the closet and CON
fdently believe that they will serve
| until next autumn.
In the usual run Of events, this
course is justiflablc and satisfying
but this year. the new silhouette has
upset all such plans OF economy and
saving Of vitality. The gowns OF yes
tcrday appear out OF the picture against
the new ones that have arrived from
Paris. The irll fluff and burbelow OF
the skirts that we have worn IN mass
throughout the winter. arc distinctly
dlstaNeful TO the woman who sees that
the long, slim Drcctoire silhouette
has been accepted
This note vas sounded last October
Those who had a %eathef-wiSe eye

the tokens tina, came from France. that

side Of a small SET the short Skirted
evening gown was steadily worn It
flared from the knees down and had a
general Soap-bubble appearance
Paris, however aided by the Amer
ican designers, has put this type Of
evening gown out OF commission. The
youngsters, Of course. will continue to
wear il, i, is not for them to adopt
the stately Direotoire or the First
Empire They look better in a modi-
fled version of the gowns worn under
the Bourbon reign.
But those who want to be in fash.

and stately, will not hesitate to adop'
the new evening gown which rules al

FRENCH PREM|ER|S
 CHEERED AS HE
 PRAISES AMERICA

Paris, April 5.-Premier Ribot ad- dressed the French Parliament today. Almost every phrase was interrupted by applause. MT Sharp was again obliged to rise and acknowledge all ovation when the premier said:
 "The United States wishes neither conquest nor compensation" and again when the premier referred to the liber- ation of slaves by the United States
 The closing words of the premier were lost in storms of applause. There were cries from deputies in every part of the chamber that the speech be printed and posted throughout France This action was authorized
 After the premier had concluded his remarks the president of the chamber Paul Deschne1, delivered an appre-. citation of the action of the United States which elicited two more dem onstrations, both of which lasted until MT. Sharp arose and bowed. The chamber decided that MT. Deschanels speech also should be posted and that both speeches should be read in every school in France.

TOORGAN|zE HOME
 GUARD OF 5000 MEN
Will Be Composed of Men Over Age of First Call.
 To Protect Properties

Steps to organize home guard, con sisting of 5000 men, are contemplated by George Watkins, a prominent young at torney. This organization will be raised by volunteer methods and it Is proposed that it be available only for home duty.
 The object in recruiting 5000 men is to provide the Birmingham district with it's immense industrial plants and valuable resources with proper protection. Ac- cording to present plans the services of the home guard is to be rendered to the city, and will be under its direction.
 Whether the universal military service provision will interfere with this move ment there is some doubt. It is under stood that. in event this conflicts with the movement, that the home guard will be composed of men who are above the oldest age limit.
 The home guard will be divided into several companies, and 1t is proposed that those guardsmen be on duty only two nights a month Owing to the large number, it will give 600 men each night for patrol duty, and the guardsmen will be subject to service only twice during the month.
 The movement is still inthe embryonic stage, but there is every indication that it will be offered.
