 KAISER DETHRONED
MiNlSTER OF JUSTICE KERENSKY MAKES THE SUGGESTiON-PEO-
 PILE COULD SETTLE WAR.
MILUk0FF MIXES STATEMENT
Members of New Russian Government Say That If Germans Expect Sepa- rate Peace Under Present Coadi-
 tione They Will Be Disappointed.

Petrograd.-Minister of Justice Ker- ensky said in an interview that II tae German people would follow the Ra sian example and dethrone their el3. peror we offer the possibility of pre- liminary negotiations"
 This statement was embodied in aa announcement by the official neFFs agceny, which reads
 On Thursday. according 10 =neXs from Copenhagen, Dr. Eduard Dav5a, speaking on behalf Of the majority part of the Social Democrats in the eign Minister Milukoff and his SUI porters were Germanophobes and that consequently the Social Democrats based their hopes on NJ. Kerensky tRussian minister of iustice) and II. Tcheidse Ca Socialist leader in the Duma). On this subject NJ KcrenskH made the following declaration to q party of journalists:
 From the incomplete information supplied by the press, it is difficult to form sound opinion. It all depends on knowing what are the hopes that Deputy David founds on me and Il. Tcheidse.
 If he supposes we are going to as. sist in making q separate peace he will be rudely disappointed. II. on the other hand, he hopes the German people are about to follow our ex- ample and dethrone their emperor, We can do no other than warmly applaud, for that would greatly free our hands and offer the possibility of entertin; on preliminary negotiations
 am convinced that the peoples who are engaged in this unexampled war will more easily come to an un. derstanding and more quickly obtain satisfactory results than the mon archs who are primarily responsible for this cruel carnage.

Just where and how far the design CTS of women's clothes are going in their strivings for something new, no one knows, but they are on their way. To prove it, here is new coat-dress which We can easily forgive for keep ing us guessing as to whether il is q dress or not, because it is so pretty and so full of style. There is provo cation for q quarrel as to whether it is rightly called dress or not, but it's designers have so named it and we will take their word for it.
 IL is made of one c. the new weaves in silk in heavy crepe effect and hangs straight from shoulder to hem. There is no definition of the waist line, but lest it's lines depart from their straight and narrow Way, belt of the material holds them so that they cannot flow outward The belt crosses at the front and fastens to the body of the dress at each side All the way down the front pearl buttons attend strictly to the business of mak- ing the straighness of the froek emphatic
 Everything has real pockets this spring. and this dress is provided with one at each side in the style of a coat.

They are square and are buttoned down with single button to the dress A cape collar among many cape col lars, becomes immediately interesting when its designer thinks of making slaShes in it. This one is of soft pique and black velvet ribbon is run through the slashes, forming ties that hold the collar up about the neck This idea is so good that 1t bears rep- etition in the turn-back cutTs also laced through slashcs with ribbon
 It takes just these touches to make Us conccde that this new model is en- titled to be called dress Taking il all in all it will prove very useful for wear instead of 3 suit.

i'll shapes. They prove how much we owe to artists who transform the simplest and humblest headwear by interpretations of their own into hats of irresistible charm.
 At the right the summery and flow cry hat is made of fine black hair braid, set over a cap made also of n narrow black braid The top crown is covered with tiny forget-me-nots in several colors and the brim edge is softened by little black silk balls, set close together about it. Narrow black velvet ribbon in two long ends have no particular reason for joining forces with the hat, except that the designer chose to put them where they are.
 At the left fascinating coolie shape is made of silk in deep orange color and black, set on a turban of black satin. Silk cords and twin tasselS, orig inal and splendid products of China, find themselves very much at home as q decoration for this model.
