GERMAN VIEW OF
WILSON ADDRESS
Great Armies Are Prepar-
ing For Reopening of
Struggle In West
(Bv Associated Press.D

Rome, wednesday, Feb. 13.-Pope
Benedict and Cardinal Gasparri, the
papal secretary Of state, discussed
President Wilson's latest message to
congress during the forenoon today,
after which Cardinal Gasparri ap-
peared to be satisfied about the ef-
feet the message probably will have.
Cardinal Gasparri is reported to
have said that the message gives
reason to hope that 1t may lead to
pourparlers and prevent a further
offensive. He is said to have added
that the message perhaps was a
starting point for negotiations for a
just and lasting peace.

plain color material. The vest is of
fine tucked white Organdie, and must,
of course, be detachable.
In order that fabric may be econo-
mixed, the skirt section of this frock-
that is, the underneath part-need not
be entirely of the material of which
the gown is made. Lining material
may be used for the upper part of it.
The dress is, of course, a one-piece
affair, the bodice lining fastening in
the center front. 1t would be best to
have the organdie vest fastened in
viSibly at one side, and if buttons are
used in the center, as shown in the
sketch, let them be purely ornamental.
Navy serge is holding it's own in the
lineup of spring dress fabrics, and,
while dresses of silks and satins will
be very much favored for strictly util-
ity use, nothing can replace serge.
Soutache braid, wool embroidery, cord
ing and stitching are favorite decora-
tive touches for the serge frocks.
The two-piece coat dress is shown
for spring developed in both wool and
silk fabrics. One of the most popular
types consists of a Straightline one
piece dress of figured material, checked
worsted, Powered silk, etc., with sleeve
less coat of plain color.

SEPARATE SKIRT TO BE WORN
Spring and Summer Demand for This
FaVorite Garment Promises to
Far Exceed That of Winter.

More than ever the separate skirt
has a definite mission In the we'll
dressed woman's wardrobe. 1t has
been worn this winter under the heavy
coat and it is to be worn in the spring
and next summer with lingerie blouses
and sweaters of silk or wool. Sepa-
rate skirts for spring will almost all
of them be made of silk. The con-
servation of wool demands that wOm-
en- use more silk and when climate
conspires with patriotism the task will
not be difficult. The new skirts are in
themselves so attractive that every
woman must desire them. They are.
of course, moderately scant, but there
is never anything skinny looking about
them. Of course, there is much dra-
perry or plated fullness about the hips
in some of them. In others the hips
are well defined and such fullness. as
there is is secured by clever plaits and
sometimes by shirring or the use OF
hip yokes. All sorts of silks are used
in making these skirts. There are
some striped taffetas-the stripe of
satin-that are especially attractive.
They are made in heavy quality and
not only always look crisp and fresh,
but will give good wear.

And yet it is fact that from 60 to 70 per cent of
the French mutiles nowadays were, before the
war, farmers farm laborers. Not all of these

Moreover, everyone knows that the first great
world peace problem will be the challenge of
food shortage. Obviously as many mutiles as pos

that, judged by American Standards France is not
yet in the forefront of scientific agriculture.
French economists, whose minds are now more
than ever busy with the facts of food production,
are exclaiming at the sad truth that Germany,
with less and inferior farming area, should, be-
fore the war; have exceeded France in agricultural
production.

France is teaching her mutiles small trades cob

Fur Trimmings and Pieces.

Just now it is with fur that the most
effective suits and coats are trimmed,
and nothing is at once so comfy, rich
and becoming at this time OF year. A
very simple costume takes on an air
of style with fur fixings, whether these
are attached or take the more practi-
cal form of separate sets. People who
have cleverly waited, writes a New
York fashion correspondent, to make
their selection of furs have unusual adj
vantages this year, not only in price,
but in the assortment, which remains
practically unbroken. On display the
other day were seen some of the best
imported pieces at one-third of the
prices earlier in the season. The foxes
remained in fascinating array, ranging
IN all tones from pure white, taupes,
browns and grays, to sets of the glossy
black that are the most becoming of
any dark furs. One advantage of fox
furs is that they remain available near
ly the year round and, are fashionably
worn when heavier-looking pelts are
laid by.

TO WEAR UNDER SUlTc0AT
Sleeveless Jacket Admired by Many for
Wear in the South or as Sum-
mer Sport Garment.

The little sleeveless jacket TO be
worn underneath the suitcoat if de-
sired, or, If worn in the South or de-
signed for summer sports wear slipped
On over tailored blouse, is one of the
popular modes of the moment.
These jackets are made of wool jer-
sey cloth or of lightweight wool velours

corduroy, velveteen or satin.
One of these jackets, is a very sim
pie affair, buttoning frankly in the cen

are, however, decidedly the smartest
and have the additional advantage of
being easy to make.

FOND OF ORIENTAL THINGS
Women Search Shops for Chinese En-
broidery for Decoration Of Gowns
to Which Richness Is to Be Added.


Women are cleaning in the Oriental
departments of the shops for bits Of
Chinese embroidery to use as trim
ming. Some of these embroideries are
quite modestly priced; all of them
show rich and beautiful colorings and
sometimes the silks may be matched
so that details of the pattern can be
repeated by hand here and there on a
gown.
Not infrequently, however, strips of
embroidery offered at low prices are
so worn and shabby that they are
scarcely worth buying and no matter
how effective the pattern they would
detract from rather than add to the
smartness of a new gown.

Mrs. Della Olson, OF New London, Wis,

ing the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills that
