bAVAR|ANS Dislike
RE|CHSTAG'S PLAN
Opposition Is Growing to "Non-
Annexation and Nom
Indemnity" Peace.
MAJORITY BLOC IS FIRM

By the Associated Press.
COPENHAGEN, october l5.-There
seems to be growing movement in
South Germany against the nom
annexation and non-indemnity basis OF
the reichstag peace resolution. The
Bavarian centrum recently proclaimed
opposition TO the attitude of the CEN
trists in the reichstag. and now the
liberal first vice president of the Ba-
varian house of deputies. Herr Won Cas-
selmann. has delivered a speech reject
ing the idea OF a renunciatory peace.
He favors the idea that resolution
should be adopted not inconsistent with
such territorial alterations as are nee
essary TO the security of the German
frontiers.
The Beriiuer Lokal Anzeiger has
started a campaign against GustaNe.
Ador. head OF the Swiss political DE-
partmeat. because of his remarks that
as condition for just peace Belgium
must be restored and compensated. The
Lchal Auzeiger demands the retirement
Of Ador. and suggests that the ministers
at Bern of the central powers sever re
lations with the Swiss political depart
ment until he resigns.

WASHINGTON ON BRINK
OF SHORTAGE IN GAS

Owing to lack Of transportation ia
cilities. washington is on the brink Of
a gas famine. according to Howard 8.
Rees!de, president Of the Washington
Gas Light Company. A shortage of
care and ra!lrosd hands, caused by the
unusual war traffic conditions, has
Inado shipments Of oil from baltimore
to this city very much smaller, and
the supply Is hardly large enough TO
meet the demand for gas II traffic con-
gest!on is not relieved.
Gas consumption in Washington has
been greatly increased over last year
due to two causes. say officials of the
gas company. Washingtons population
which has risen over $4,000 since a
year ago, and the fact that the short
age of coal is forcing many people to
rely on gas for heating, are given as
reasons for the increased demand.

GARBAGE PERFUMES THE AIR

Still garbage perfumes the air and
the germs continue their frolic. Eight
hundred city garbage teamsters went
on strike yesterday with the demand
Of 81 more per day in wages.
Aid. MiChaelsOn submitted a resO-
luton to the council authorizing this
increase of near one-qUarter Of a mil
lion dollars a year. It was referred
to finance committee.
Health Com'r Robertson says the
solution of the garbage question is
reduction of garbage.
In Paris" he said, the amount of
garbage averages one-qUarter pound
per family. In Chicago it amounts
to one pound per person each day.
This amount could easily. be reduced
to halt and garbage could then be
burned"

NEW YORK, April 24.-All hats are
abused. but the picture HAT of tulle or
gauze, touched with real or near para
disc, is the most abused.
). One day in Paris. at Suzanne Talbots,
when some especially lovely pieces Of
this kind of millinery were shown. a
man and a critic standing by, made a
bet that of the two women buying one
particular hat OF tulle with paradise,
ONE. an American, the other French
woman. ono would wear il at the right
time and place and the other would do
just he opposite.
The bet was taken, and. as each wom-
an was known by reputation to the
men. they knew ii would be easy to
quickly settle the bet. 1t was settled
that very day. In the early afternoon
the American woman came into tea
garden wearing the big cartwheel Of
rare materials in conjunction with
tailored suit of white pongee, and IN
the evening for supper, the Parfslenne
came ito Ciro's wearing the hat with

sharp way which he has to make sure
that Peter meant what he said, and he
saw that Peter was very much in earnest.
But. like everybody else on the Green
Meadows and In the Green Forest, Sammy
had supposed all winter that Danny and
Nanny Meadow Mouse were dead, and 1t
was very hard for him to believe just on
Peters word that they were not.
Peter saw the look and understood it.

capes are attached to little fitted vests
in a color contrasting with the cape
proper.
A model of this type is shown in the
sketch.
The cape is made of navy blue spring
weight velour. and the vest is of white
corded silk. cut double breasted. after
the fashion of a mans vest. and. of
course, fastened with two rows of
handsome white pearl buttons.
This cape fits neatly about the Shout
ders, and is held in place at the waist
line by band of elastic which ex-
tends around the waist in the back.
The collar is of white. matching the
vest.
The cape shown would be very easy
to make 1t is quite circular. but not
full enough to envelop the figure, as
the vest is allowed to show at all
times. To make the cape, which is full
length, one and half yards of silk
thirty-six inches wide will be required
for the vest and three and a half yards
of fabric the same width for the cape
proper. Usually the wool fabric capes
are unlined.
The military influence is unmistaka-
bly, expressed in the increasingly
strong vogue for capes.

our women have taken up the fashion
Il wearing their picture hats in the
light place and at the right time. The
cry low frock and the huge hat GO
ogether. If custom and fashion smil-
ngiA accept the combination, then
there is hope that our women VIII
abuse the picture hat as they have
been in the habit of doing.
The size and not the suitability of
these hats is now the problem. They
grow large along with the leaves and
petals: in truth. some of them are
partly built of petals massed over the
crown and blowing hither and yon
with the air. When these are rose
colorcd and the brim of the hat, swirl
ing as it does far into the open, is OF
pink tulle with an oriental embroidery
on it's surface of silver threads. it
pulls any evening frock into brilliancy.
Another feature of these hats, in adj
dition to their immensely. is the re-
vival of the paradise feather. 1t is not
to be supposed that the French mil
liners are buSing fresh feathers: they
are using up their stored reserve, but
as our customhouse does not allow the
passing of such plumage. the women
over here must be doing as the
Parienne and Londoner are doing
using up what they have.
1t goes without saying that there
must be stocks of paradise in this
country 1t was too expensive a type
of plumage to discard when the law
made IL questionable, and difficult to
get, and even the Audubonfsts might
not decry the use of the feather If 1t
is from an old stock. In yellow and
with touches of scarlet it adds won
erfuIly to picture hat of embroider-
ed black tulle like the one shown. in
the sketch. and any other feather
would do almost as well. provided the
coloring was gotten
The old variety of black tulle picture
hat built in rows of shirring has given
way to stretched tulle covered with
primitive designs done in silver and
gold threads Women who prefer
startling simplicity omit the touch of
plumage and depend entirely upon the
embroidery for effect. And 1T Is there in
good measure.
