OF Interest TO Women
RUMANIAN EMBROIDERY is POPULAR.

There is directoire collar. and the full

of the features of this summers frocks.
1t would be difficult to count the
number of new gowns that have this
full front reaching from bust to knees
and adjusted in some manner. 1t is
quite easy to see that you drop from
the directoire of Napoleon's day to the
Spain Of Philip on the journey from the
collar to the cuff.
The sleeve is slashed open at the
wrist with ornamental buttonholes and
buttons, and there is a full cuff of Ru-
manian embroidery finished with ruff

CIVIC BODIES STRIVING
TO WAKE UP AMERICA
U. S. Chamber of Commerce Leads
Way in Pointing Out Dangers
That Confront Nation.

That Washington's civic and COM
mercial organizations will do all within
their power to awaken the people to
a realization that this country is at
war and needs the support of every
man, woman and child wa made plain
by a number of members of local bodies
today. The executive committee of the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States recently sent out copy of
resolutions adopted in favor of such
educational work.
The document points out that the
United States should speed preparations
for the great conflict, saying: There
are possible and even probable con-
tingencieS which might cause the
United States to bear the brunt of the
fighting on her own shores: If Russia
should collapse; if the British fleet
should be overcome; if the food situa-
ton should bring our allies to their
knees; if great reversals should be met
on the western front; if the submarine
menace be not checked.
1t was pointed out today that such
steps have already been taken here.
Patriotic touches have been given to
meetings of most of Washingtons civic
and commercial organizations recently,
one of the most notable instance having
been that of the Board of Trade Monday
night, which took the form of pa
triotic rally.
Mai Gen. George Barnett. comman-
dant of the United States Marine Corsp,
today telegraphed to f. c. Branden-
burg. president of the Board of Trade.
asking the cooperation of that body
during the Marine Corps recruiting
week. to begin June 10.
Explaining that it is hoped to enlist
1000 men in the Marine Corps that
week, Gen. Barnett expressed the earn
est desire of the corps that the Board
of Trade and commercial interests rep
resented in the membership should as
sist in every way possible. President
Brandenburg sent word that every pos
sible assistance would be given the
movement.

GERMAN MONEY MAY HELP
u. S. CARRY ON THE WAR

Millions of dollars in dividends and
debts due to Germans from American
citizens may be invested in liberty loan
bonds under the trading with the
enemy act now pending in Congress.
Germany thus will help America pay
for the war.
A custodian of enemy property to be
named with passage of trading with
the enemy act will take over all enemy
alien property, investing funds and
putting real property into the hands
of trust companies for operation.
Liberty bonds are considered safe
investment for the German funds, and
at the same time the money will be
made to work for this country.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK. June 5.-Even those OBJ
servant men and women who are in
Paris and who sit daily in the salons
of the designers, confess that they are
puzzled as to what silhouette is pre-
ferred over there.
None of them deny in their letters or
cabled reports that each designer tries
out a dozen or more kinds of costumes
taken from various and opposing
epochs of the worlds history and from
many races.
Here there is the directoire, there the
first empire. the Egyptian and the Ro-
man. as revived in Napoleon's time be-
cause Of his victorious wars. The
Spanish still raises it's head in all the
best costumery, and here there is the
sleeve of the toreador, the wide sash of
the Algerian soldier, the winding head
dress of those who dwell in Mesopota-
mia, and the buttons. trappings and
epauletS of the millions of men who
are killing each other as best they can.
This is not an impossible situation
either for the public or the dressmak-
ers. If women dress alike week in and
week out. or If fashion allows them to
look like a Spanish bull-fghter on
Monday, a Benedictine monk on Saturday,
with a CLINT of free Poland on Wednes-
day, they are very well satisfied.
Inspiration From Rumania.
Everybody who knew anything about
fashions and their sources and inspira-
ton, knew that Rumania would quick
ly furnish many ideas: and the colorful
and effective embroidery of that coun-
try instantly found it's place among the
most expensive garments that France
sent to America.

Sen. Tillman Asks Government
to Investigate Combination.

Trenton, Sept. 16-The sudden
fall in the price of cotton seed in
the past few days has caused the
people to open their eyes and it is
generally believed there is a com.
bine among the buyers and crusbers
to lower the price of seed at this
time while the poor man and the ne
gro must sell. The drop has been
so sudden and uncalled for in view
of the small crop as estimated by
the census bureau that Senator Till
man has taken hold of the question.
On being interviewed today on t1e
subject the Senator said:
From the best information /
have there is evidently combine,
restraint of trade among the buy.
ers and crushers of seed, to lower
the price and buy them as cheaply
as possible just at this time while
the poor man and The negro has to
sell. / have to-day wired Attorney
General Gregory the facts in the
case and urged upon him the
necessity of prompt action on his
part. I expect to get him to send
agents here to investigate the prob
able combine, and will not let up
until / have gone to the bottom of
the question. The people can de-
pend upon that. There is no appa-
rent reason for the decline in the
price except the greed of the crush
ers, and I will do what / can to see
that the people get fair price for
seed"
The Senator has received a num-
ber of letters and kilograms bearing
on the subject which tend to prove
that there is a combine, and it is
generally believed his efforts will
result in the alleged combination
being broken up.

Weekly Cotton Review.

The wide and varying fuctuation
of values in the cotton market dur
ing the past week has been more or
less the result of the technical con-
dition as it switched from time to
time in narrow market. The crop
has not begun to move as yet in
sufficient volume to bring about an
active and even trading, supplying
the necessary contracts, that is es.
sential in a well balanced market,
and the demand at the moment for
the actual is sufficient to absorb the
limited amount of spots. How
long this condition will exist is en-
tirely problematical, and whether
the free offerings which are yet to
come can be taken care of at pres.
ent values is rather difficult to fore.
cast. Our opinion, however, is that
when cotton begins to move in
normal volume the urgency of the
spot demand will not be sufficient to
absorb this supply at the present
level prices, and we, therefore, are
of the opinion that values will de.
cline to still lower level.
