crown prince and many of the prom
inent herrs of the German empire. The
purpose of the drama is to present in
timately and graphically the causes
of the war and to project, as well, a
vision of, the birth of a civilized state
out of Germany's present travail of
barbarism. This second point is the
one, no doubt, which. out of it's purely
Imaginary quality. justifies the title.
The interesting part of this play is the
part having to do with the mental
processes and attitudes of the chief
actor-the kaiser. The unstable psy-
chology of the man is apprehended and
projected here with insight and force.
Here the kaiser is the victim of his
own Inheritance, of his own warning
contradictions victim, too, of the
ambitions of the crown prince, and even
of the inflated self-love Of the German
people, rather than the deliberately
monstrous man that he is commonly
counted to be- 1t is this personal ac-
quaintance and insight of the author
that gives plausibility to his concep-
tion Of the character OF the kaiser. and
that gives, consistency as well to the
workings Of the German mind as these
are portrayed here under the urgencies
of their dreams of glory through the
instrumentality of devastating war.

COLLEGE WOMEN DOING THEIR
BIT TO HELP WIN THE WAR

How college women have helped and
are helping in the war is shown in a
pamphlet of eleven pages, bearing the
title War Work of Women in Col
leges," and issued by the committee on
public information with the approval of
the Secretary of State, the Secretary Of
War and the Secretary of the Navy.
The pamphlet shows college women
in all parts of the country working as
farmers, gardeners, stenographers.
typewriters, clerks. tabulators statisti-
clans, nurses, shoeblacks, hairdressers,
dressmakers. cobblers and list of oc-
cupations embracing about everything

skirts are necessarily short, for their
narrowness would greatly impede prog
ress if they were long.
If the summer brings back the fash
ion for pumps on the street without
spats, there may be room for criticism
in these extra short skirts, but at the
moment it looks as though women will
not relinquish the high boot. the cloth
spat or any ankle covering that gives
them a military appearance.
Spats are a part Of the national cos
tune. They are worn as constantly as
the Enelishman has worn them for
generations. They stand higher in
fashion than the boot with the cloth
or leather top. although there has come
about, through the activity of over a
million women in war work, the fash
ion for an extra high Russia leathe:
laced boot, with a broad, curved sole
and stitched band.
The low-heeled shoe has gained
rapidly in fashion since women went

ROCKVILLE AND COUNTY
Special Correspondence of The Star.

Special Correspondence Of The Star
ROCKVILLE, Md. February 16 -
James T. Trundle. prominent farmer
and leading citizen. died this morning
at his home near Poolesville, this
county. He was seventy-seven years
old. His death was due to a complica-
tion of diseases, and followed a long
illness. He is survived by his wife,
formerly Miss Elizabeth Chisweu of
this county. The funeral will take
place Monday from the family resi-
dence.
Mr.. Trundle was lifelong resident
OF the county. He was at one time ac-
tive in democratic politics, and for four
years was a member of the board of
county commissioners. For many years
he was successfully engaged in farm
ing.
The republican state central commit
tee for this county, which is composed
L. Dawson, William H Proctor and c.
Scott Duvall. has submitted to Gov.
Harrington the names of Maurice NJ
Browning. Charles F. Kirk. Mortimer
Q. Stabler and Charles T. Day. from
which list the republican member of
the board of supervisors of elections
for the county will be selected. 1t is
understood that Mr.. Browning is the
choice of the party leaders, and his ap-
pointment is looked for.
William H. Griffith, chairman of the
board for the last two years. will, it is
understood, succeed himself as one of
the democratic members. but who the
other democratic member will be has
not been disclosed. The appointments
will be made within the next few days.
The funeral of Charles d. Morgan,
lifelong resident of Rockville, who
was for many years in the mercantile
business here, took place at II o'clock
this morning from the Rockville Meth
odist Church, the pastor of the church,
Rev. j. w. Duffey. conducting the serv-
ices. Burial was in Rockville Union
cemetery. The pallbearers were Charles

these straight little Jackets in vel
veteen, braid them heavily with SOU
tache and add to the neck a waistcoat
of white jersey fastened with tiny gilt
buttons. They will cut the sleeves slim
at the top, slightly flaring over the
hand and slashed at the back. The
jacket itself will be slashed below the
belt line on each side.
SUCH coat may serve for several
skirts. There is a tendency toward this
for the spring, as it points the way to
economy and variety. Our skirts wear
out; our jackets rarely do, and the lat
ter garment is more expensive and
more difficult to make than the former
So one perfectly turned out satin or
velvet coat may serve to dismiss the
subject from a woman's mind. and she
can pick up or make in her own sewing
room skirts of jersey, of dull Burgundy

that will give her a chance to escape
the appearance of being in uniform.

American public looked with a shrug OF
the shoulders at the pink and blue taf-
feta skirts that were tucked up at the
hem and caught here and there with
formal little bouquet of roses. How
stale and stupid Paris is, was the com
ment. Can't she ever get it into her
head that America does not want that
loose, overfull skirt with it's nngraceful
line about the ankles? Debutantes and
young girls continued to dance in this
kind of skirt wherever the fiddles
sounded. but women of more mature
years dismissed it as a fashion from
the start.

at a slight distance as though she wore
baggy trousers and Army boots.
To the majority of women this news
may not be welcome. They Will fancy
a far more sensational garment than that

There is so little fullness in this new
skirt that it does not seem to be even
a first cousin to the skirt of Jenny with
its tucked-up hem. That skirt, which
pervaded the continent for two years,
had tendency to flare out, to fling it
self away from the ankles; this skirt
goes in so rapidly from knees to hem
that it does not need to undergo the
same treatment that was accorded the
other skirt.
For instance, to be technical-the
fullness at its hem is not caught up and
gathered to a short, narrow lining. This
is not considered necessary. 1t is mere
