Thomas Hardy, who has just remar.
ried at the age of seventy-four, loathes
the slit skirt"
The speaker was publishers reader
who had just returned from London
He continued;
Il lunched with Mr.. Hardy one day
at the Savoy. Slit skirts were every.
where. Look where you would, you
saw nothing but long, slender ankles
In silk stockings protruding from sill,
skirts.
THE spectacle caused Mr.. Hardy tc
shudder with disgust.
If the preesnt trend of fashion
keeps on, he sneered, 1t won't be long
before women will refuse to wear any
thing certainly she won't wear rapl

COMMENTS ON THE
PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
Bv Ex-President Taft

THE presidents message is an ad
mirable setting forth OF the causes
that must lead the United States int
a declaration OF war. 1t is grea
historical state paper. Its approval o.
universal compulsory service and OF 4
close practical alliance with England
France and Russia in overcoming
Prussian militarism shows the presi
dents determination that the country
when In war shall wage is effectively.
The entente allies are now fighting
our battles as well as the battle of
world progress and we should be re-
creant to every principle of honor and
decency II we do not subscribe to the
presidents policy in firm union in
this war with France. England, Russia.
Italy and their allies"
BY En-President Roosevelt
The presidents message is great
state paper which will rank in his
tory among the great state papers OF
which Americans in future years will
be proud. 1t now rests with the PEG
pie OF the country to see that we put
in practice the policy the president
has outlined and that we strike as
hard, as soon and as effectively as pos.
sible in aggressive war against the
government OF Germany. We must
send troops to the firing line as rap
idly as possible. Defensive war is
hopeless. We must by vigorous OF.
fensiye warfare win the right to have
our voice count for civilization and
justice when the time for peace comes.
Il. OF course, very earnestly hope
that / may be allowed to raise a di-
vision for immediate service at the
front i guarantee that no finer body
OF fighting men could be gathered to-
gether than there would be in that
division, but, of course, the men to
whom l would appeal will come for
ward only IL it Is understood that the
division is to be sent at the earliest
practicable moment into the fighting
line"
BY the Westminster Gazette
The stirring words with which the
presidents address closes should re.
move all hope on the enemy's part and
all fear on the part of the allies that
America. having made her choice, will
pursue it half-heartedly. She comes as
a great ally with immense reserves OF
man power to be used, as she tells
us, without stint to supplement and
fortify the heavily drained resources

party which recognizes Prussia as the
enemy OF mankind who must be dis
abled il the world is to enjoy peace
The Standard then says that Germany
in bringing the crushing material and
moral force OF the great republic
against her was acting on only two
possible theories: First. that Germany
contemplates a surrender and that
Z only to the whole world; second. that
il means a desperate stalking of all
on the chance of starving England by
her submarine campaign.
BY the Paris Temps
1T is a great date in the history of
America, a great date in the history Of
humanity. The decision not TO mix in
the quarrels OF Europe had dominated
American policy for more than a CEN
fury. German violence has been
stronger than this will and 4 new ally
joins US. Despite the Monroe doctrine,
despite immigration, and despite all
sorts of ties binding two nations, the
aggressive policy OF the Hohenzollerns
has forced war on people which was
firmly decided to remain neutral"
What will Edison do?" What I'M
expected discovery will lie offer to
his country" are questions that are
being asked by the French people in
view OF the prospect Of the United
States joining the entente. The great.
est curiosity is being manifested in
possible new war inventions.
