Aliens Are Drafted

Dear Cynthia am n daily reader of your
column and find il very interesting. Now ]
would like to find out enc thing which has
always impressed itself on my mind and
that is: ! am IA young girl OF sixteen and
seem to understand the doings of this up-to-
date war all except this: ! have four brothers
and have given three brothers to the colors,
aud gave them with all my heart to my
country, | buy bonds ana thrift stamps,
and have given everything to my country
ana still I am anxious to give more.
But ! am pretty sore seeing strong young
fellows that oueht To be at the front side
by side with our boys parade the streets and
earn good money weekly just because they
are aliens. After the war many of our
hearts will be broken and many a home va
cant. And still those alien slacliers will act
patriotic. ANXIOUS.
Aliens are not allowed to go about
scot-free from service. They are given
the Choice of enlisting in the services of
their own countries or of being drafted
here in ours. Alien enemies are put in a
far-deferred classification of the draft.

or in the motor. for sunshine or for rain.
II is s;ill long. virtually covering the
gown, still belted. still pocketed and
still gencrousl- collared. However. We
have he'd an interim when these coats
hung in fiaring fines from the shoulder.
we might, therefore. speak OF the
girdliug as new. but that would be
stretching the truth a bit, for the belt
even with the two buttons has been
with us for some time and is likely to
stay with US for a considerable time to
come. Ii would be more to the point to
say hat this mode has proved so very
satisfactory in every respect that it has
been gdopted as a standard.
This standard, however. may be
given TO the world in various forms.
The belt may in some cases be very
wide. while on other models the belt
may be of the narrowest width. Then
the collar may in some instances be of
the shawl variety. the large flat kind :;
or then again 1t may be Of the regula-
ton tailored type. These same changes
may be noticeable in the cuffs and the
pockets. These changes are. neverthe-
less. mere details and regardless Of
these the coa remains unitarian.
This coat which is shown today will
be readily recognized by you as one Of
these practical, stay-iu-fashion coats
The most noticeable change in this coat
is the way the collar has been designed
and the trimming of the pockets, which
are moderate in size. The material is

Here Is a Happy Little Household in Which One Is Apt to b,
Infroduced-The Mother of Tuo Little Children Presents
an Unusual Problem, Which Takes in Var Jobs

THERE are two vital questions con
i tanned in the letter printed below;
the one new and up to the wartime
minute; the other as old as the hills
ard still new.
First. Should a married woman with
young children leave her home and
take a war job?
Second. When a home is going
along happily and nicely is it wise to
Introduce a mother-in-law?
The letter follows:
Dear Madam am n married
woman with a good husband and
two loving children and a very nice
home. Now what I want to know
is; Ny husband wants TO bring his
mother to live with us. | object.
Am | right in doing so? As far as
i know she is a nice person. She
has other children married here

mother could take care of the home

and l could work. | think my place
Is to take care of my own home?

realize how hard it is for him to let
this go on. The old are not to he

Why don't you ask your husbands

her presence YOU object to so much
as the fact that it has been suggest

came as a visitor. then YOU would be
able to judge for yourself.
This is a very vital matter; so
vital indeed and so important to the
happiness of this mother that / am
going to ask my readers TO state their
views on the matter and help her ont.

BALFOUR EVADES
A DIRECT ANSWER
Questioned as to Whether Prince Six
tus Came to England with Peace
Proposals.

LONDON, May 16.-Foreign Secrc.
tary Balfour was asked i'll the house of
commons today whether Prince Sixtus
of Bourbon, to whom Emperor Charles
of Austria addressed the letters last
year in which peace was offered to
France, paid two visits to England in
connection with the peace proposals and
whether he was in communication on
this subject with Premier Lloyd George.
Mr.. Balfour replied that the subject
was not one which could be dealt with
by questions and answers. The whole
topic of Emperor Charles 5 proposal was
discussed today in the commons on the
initiative of the pacifsts and advocates
OF peace by negotiation
In response to questions Mr.. Balfour
said Emperor Charles wrote letter to
a relative, Prince Sixtus, a brother-in-
law OF tae emperor, and that it was
conveyed by this relative to the presi-
dent and the premier of France under
the seal of the strietest secrecy No per
mission was given to communicate the
letter except to the sovereign and the
premier of this country. This answers
the question which has been raised as
to why the emperor 3 proposals were
not communicated to President Wilson.

Will Help the Department of
Justice in Inquiry Into
Borglum Charges
INVITATION CAME
FROM PRESIDENT
Selection Will Minimize Importance of
the Inquiry Which Senate Commit
tee on Military Affairs Has Already
Undertaken.

WASHINGTON, May 16.-On Pres
ident Wilson S invitation, Charles f.
Hughes, eX governor of New York and
x-justicc of tAc United States supreme
court, who was Mr.. Wilson s opponen.
for President in 1916, will act with At

the charges Of graft, inefiicicncy, and
pro German tendencies directed against
the military aircraft administration BY
Gutzon Borglum, the sculptor An
nouneement of the designation of Mr..
Hughes was formally made yesterday
afternoon.
1t is believed here that no recent act
of President Wilson will bring ntu,e
praise than this recognition of his late
political opponent. BY the appointment
of Mr.. Hughes the President has taken
the ground from under the feet of those
disposed to criticise the fact that he had
placed the investigation of the Borelum
charges in the hands of one of his cabi-
net, who had turned over the detailed
work of the inquiry to an official aid.
Assistant Attorney General William l..
Frierson, the junior member of the at
torney general 5 immediate staff.
With Mr. Hughes as investigator.
backed by his high reputation as a iur-
lst and legal examiner, and the addi-
tional fact that he is a political oppo-
nent of the President, whose administra-
ton he did not hesitate to criticise Sc
verely IN the 1916 national CAMPAIGN.
there is hardly any likelihood that even
he most active partisan antagonists Of
the President will find ground for com
plant that the investigation will not
be conducted with complete regard for
getting at the facts and making re-
port that will show neither fear nor
favor.
1t is being suggested that the designa-
ton of Mr.. Hughes will minimize the
Importance of the inquiry which the
senate committee on military affairs
has undertaken into the aircraft pro
