What They Are Wearing

There is much discussion about
the skirt width. whether it shall be
wide or narrow. So far these varing
opinions of fashion artists have re-
suited in a compromise which has
produced what one might call neu-
tral silhouette and the latter displays
a bodice cut separate from the skirt
with a waist fairly well defined but
supple, and the skirt of medium width
and modesty but not frumpily long.
The newest designs in waists and
blouses for spring show low necks or
low rolling or fiat collars.

Washington.-The peace ncgotia-

the Bosheviki government In Russia
have been Temporarily suspended by
the Germans.
From the meager advlces received,
II appears the rock upon which Il con-
tinuation of the pourparlers split was
the demand of the Russians that the
conference be resumed mt Stockholm
instead of at Brest-l4itovsk. Dissatis-
fled with the proposals for peace made
by the Teutonic allies before the re-
cess of the Brest I.itovsk conference.
Leon Trotzky, the Bolsheviki foreign
minister, had been insistent on the de-
liberations being held on neutral soil
instead Of ut the German eastern head
quarters.
Germans Equally Firm.
The Germans, however, had been
equally as firm in their determination
not to treat with the Russians at any
other place than Brest Litovsk.
German advices Saturday were to
the effect that the Bolsheviki dele
gates, on finding that the representa-
tives of Teutonic allies We're at Bresl
l.toysk awaiting them, had started for
this town, but nothing has come
through to show that these had any
foundation, in fact. The decision Of
the Germans to discontinue the sit
tings was arrived mt during a crown
council held In Berlin Saturday, which
WAS attended by Field Marshal Won
Hinderburg and General Won Luden-
dorff, first quartermaster general.

Padded Pay Rolls blamed.
Since the government paid manufac-

tendency in many plants was to pad
pay rolls.
At the Curtiss plant near Buffalo.
Mr.. Hughes said. there is abundant
testimony, with picturesque detail"
showing that large numbers of en-
ployes were kept on the pay rolls
when they were not needed; through
an utter lack Of decent system men
and women were paid when they did
not work; employees were able to leave

The mistakes. failures. delays and

day after having been made public at
the White House.
While the report acknowledges the
successes and achievements Of the new
administration in aircraft, headed by
John D. Ryan, it deals unsparingly
with the shortcomings Of the old or

martial proceedings for one Army Of

Chief Blame for Failures.
The chief blame for the failures is
charged by the Hughes report to de-
