unes, to insist upon justice and
to oblige governments to act for
them and not for the private and
selfish interest Of a governing
class.
at is a war to make the ma
tions and peoples of the world Sc
cure against every such power as
the German autocracy represents.
1t is war Of emancipation. Not
until it is won can men anywhere
live free from constant fear or
breathe freely while they go
about their daily tasks and know
that governments are their ser
wants, not their masters.
"This is, therefore, the war of
all wars which labor should sup
port and support with all it's con-
centrated power. The world can
not be safe, mems lives cannot be
secure, no mans rights can be
confidently and successfully as
serted aga nst the rule and mas
terry Of arbitrary groups and spe-
cial interests so long as govern
ments like that which, after long
generalization, drew Austria and
Germany into this war, are per
mitted to control the destinies
and the daily fortunes of men and
nations, plotting while honest men
work, laying the fires of which
innocent men, women and chill
dren are to be the fuel.
"You know the nature of this
war. 1t is a war which industry
must sustain. The army Of la
borers at home is as important, as
essential, as the army cf fighting
men in the far fields of actual
battle. And the laborer is not
only needed as much as the SOL
der. 1t is his war. The soldier
is his champion and representa-
tive. To fail to win would be to
imperil everything that the labor
err has striven for and held dear
since freedom first had it's dawn
and its struggle for justice began.
"The soldiers at the front know
this. 1t steels their muscles to
think of it. They are crusaders.
They are fighting for no selfish
advantage for their own nation.
They would despise any one who
fought for the selfish advantage
of any nation. They are giving
their lives that homes everywhere,
as we'll as the homes they love in
America, may be kept sacred and
safe, and men everywhere be free
as they insist upon being free.
"They are fighting for the
ideals of their own land-great
ideals, immortal ideals, ideals
which shall light the way for all
men to the places where justice is
done and men live with lifted
heads and emancipated spirits.
That is the reason they fight with
solemn joy and are invincible.
LET us make this, therefore,
day Of fresh comprehension, not
only of what we are about and of
renewed and clear-eyed resolu-
ton, but a day Of conservation
also in which we devote ourselves
without pause or limit to the
great task of setting our own
country and the whole world free
to render justice to all and of
making it impossible for small
groups of political rulers any,
where to disturb our peace or the
peace of the world, or in any way
to make tools and puppets of
those upon whose consent and
upon whose power their own au-
thority and their own very exist
ence depend.
I'VE may count upon each
other. The nation is of a single
mind, 1t is takinp co,,rcol with

private or single interest. It's own
mind has been cleared and forti-
fed by these days which burn the
dross away. The light of a new
conviction has penetrated to every

More than ever the separate skirt
has n definite mission In the we'll

been worn this winter under the heavy
coat and Il Is to be worn in the spring
and next summer with lingerie blouses
and sweaters Of silk or wool. Scpa-
rate skirts for spring will almost all
of them be made Of silk. The con-
servntiOn Of wool demands that wom-
on 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. or 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 plalts and
sometimes by shlrrlng or the use Of
hip yOkes. All sorts Of silks IRE used
In making these skirts. There are
some striped taffctns-the stripe Of
satln--that are especially attractive.
They are made In heavy quality and
not only always look crisp and fresh,
but will give good wear.

There Is an early Easter this year
and the annual, welcome guest of new
spring millinery is on. Nothing stales
its perennial interest-we discover the
new styles with as much Joy as II they
were gold mine each season. This
zest Is merited by the new hats; they
are In reality as fine from every stand
point as any within the memory Of the
oldest milliner. There Is variety with.
out end In them-the shapes emphas-
lie becomingness. There are many
kinds of trimming and beautiful work
manship Is the rule. Which all leads
to the conclusion that the American
woman has earned a reputation for
being well dressed because she is dis
eliminating.
The paramount hat, or the para
mount fabric of which hats are made,
is crepe georgette. It is used with
braids and with other fabrics, or with
out them. for covering shapes. All
colOrs look their best In its rich and
dainty texture. At the center Of the
picture a hat is shown covered with 1t
and having ruche of 1t about the
crown. Large, glazed cherries In red,
jade and blue find the beige color Of
the crepe the best Of backgrounds.

There Is, or mt least there appears to
be, vogue for aprons of the sorts that
cover the dress or are substituted for
1t. Styles In aprons are shown In al
most as much prOfusiOn as styles In
frOcks and some persons insist-es-
pecially some masculine persons-that
women look their best In these wOrk-a-
day garments. At any rate they have
chance to look very well In them
since there are so many designs In
them made up In attractive cOlOrs and
with easy, semifltted lines.
The fortunes Of war have brought 1t
about that many women must do a
great part of their own hOusewOrk and
they are making a virtue Of necessity.

is the insignia of service to be proud

Sleeveless Jacket Admired by Many fer

mer Sport Garment.

The little sleeveless jacket to be
worn underneath the suitcoat IL de-
sired, or, If worn in the South or de.
signed for summer sports wear slipped
on over a 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
usually, although they are correct in
corduroy, velveteen or satin.
One of these jackets, is very sim.
pie affair, buttoning frankly In the cen.
ter front and held in with a belt Of
self-fabric. Occasionally a little
"change" pocket is let In ut one side,
and some Of the jackets are shown cut
double-breasted and finished with two
rows of buttons. The simpler ones
are. however, decidedly the smartest
and have the additional advantage Of
being easy to make.
Another sleeveless jacket has been
christcned the trench" vest. It con.
sists primarily of panel front and
back. with opening through which the
head Is slipped. II Is open underneath
the arms, except ut the waistline,
where belt holds II to the figure.
This Is the simplest of all the models
to make, as straight piece Of fabric
sufficiently long to reach from back to
front of the figure and allow six or
eight inches below the waistline Is cut
out to form neck, which may be plain
or finished with a "Monk" collar, and
the whole is belted in as desired ut the
waist.
Jackets that IRE semi-ftted, are,
however. smarter and In better taste.

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

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 new gown.

They make up spring house frOcks

AUSTRIAN STRIKE
rumblings of storm in Austria from

rumblings of storm in Austria from
the result at Brest-Litovsk.
That the strike in Austria and the
peace longing is genuine is undoubted
here. American officials knew before
they attempted their publicity cam
paign that Austria was the weak link
in the Teuton chain, and they knew, too
that she was under food and financial
strain more terrific than her dominant
neighbor.
But they pointed out today, America
must be cautious of ill-founded thoughts
that Austria will Immediately drop out
of the combat.
First, they emphasized that, as pre-
dicted in yesterdays United Press dis
patches, Teuton domination is already
having calming effect on the Austrian
population and that the Austrian prem
ier-under Germany's thumb--has sue
ceeded temporarily in quieting much OF
the disturbance.
Secondly, they cautioned that the
freedom granted the press in getting out
the Austrian news might indicate part
of cunning scheme to lull the entente
and America into a false sense of Sc
curity.
Despite this tendency to put on the
soft pedal, there was nevertheless a
general satisfaction over the trend with
in the central empires.
Advices here show that Germany is
desperately keeping her people in line
to tide over the fuel difficulties, en-
couraging them with the thought that if
they pass this spring they will have
fresh stocks of food.
The time is ripe for pressing the po-
titical, as well as the military often
sive, authorities say.
The political drive is under the dl-
reetion of the committee on public IN
formation; new military moves and fur
ther coordination of war work Will be
planned in the inter-allied conference
soon to meet in Paris.

ACORNS OF HISTORIC OAK
TO BE PLANTED AT U.
Colonel John Leader Brings Seeds to
oregon From Famous Tree Which
Once Sheltered Charles III

University Of oregon, Eugene, Jan.
23.-Aeorns from the oak tree in
which King Charles the Second hid
from the Cromwellians after the bat
tie of Worcester, are to be planted
this week on the campus of the Uni
versity of Oregon at Eugene. The Bos-
cobe loak, as IT is known in English
history, saved the Stuart dynasty. The
kings pursuers heard noise which
they thought might be his majesty in
concealment, but just. then an owl flew
out and their suspicious were lulled.
To this day certain English regiments
bear oak instead of laurel on their
erests to commemorate this incident.
The Boscobel oak, which grows in
the park Of the Duke Of Grafton, has
about outlived its span of centuries
and this year produced only about 100
acorns. Colonel John Leader, late of
the Royal Irish Rifles, just before
leaving England to become command
ant and professor of military science
at Oregon, spent some time visiting
Mrs. Leader s relatives, the Grafatons.
While there Colonel and Mrs. Leader
collected all the acorns of the most
historic of English trees, and have
brought them to Eugene for planting
on the campus.

The blues were then passed along to
the newer recruits.
First deliveries of uniforms were
made by the Manchester Cooperative
Societies at twenty-one shillings each
(about $5.25). Meantime other contracts
were LET for khaki. Deliveries of these
began in April, 1915.
Eight or Nine Months.
So it was between eight and nlne
months after England entered the war
that the first fighting uniforms manu-
featured as a direct result of her enter
ing were ready. In three more months
n supply sufficient for all needs had
been assured.
Until March, 1917, the government
simply bought at the best price it could,
price usually being of less of eonsld-
eration than quality and speed. Since
then the entire trade has been under
government control, from raw wool to
made up material.
ssThe chief mistake we made" the
general explained, twas in not getting
the trade together at the very outset,
finding out what each manufacturer
could do and telling him to do it. OF
course. we were handicapped for long
time bv not knowing how much of an
army we could raise. Now that we have
control of the trade all difficulties look
comparatively small.
Supply Ample Now.
con demand now the army could get
between eight and nine million uniforms
a year. Nineteen million have actually
been issued since the war began. Prices
have grown. Blouses now cost s4.26,
against $s.s4 in April, 1915. Trousers,
1924, against sl.64; coats $50, against
$5.76.
"other clothes gave the government
less trouble, with the exception Of socks.
II was necessary to buy all the socks IN
the United States and Canada before
the problem Of producing them here was
solved. Getting shirts and undereloth-
ing was comparatively simple. =
