New York.-Once upon a time the
Roman warriors pulled over their
heads the shaggy hides Of animals as
they advanced on the enemy. They
had the primitive, childlike belief that
the sight of the animals would fright
en- the opposing side. Such Is the
history Of the grenadier caps worn by
the British army, and such is proba-
bly, the inspiration of the new war
like clothes invented In these times Of
war.
These are worn In Paris, or rather
they were worn at the Paris open
ings. says a fashion writer. They have
arrived In this country. and their ac-
ceptance is debatable.
There are women who will wear
anything new, regardless of its effect on
their appearance. and these women
may make the new fabrics fashionable.
At first glance they are rather ter
rifying. One has a slight creeping of
feeling for the opposing side" to the
legions of Caesar. Even a stout
hearted warrior would hate to face a
great rush of animal skins moving to-
ward him with rapidity.
That will be the situation that must
be faced by every stout-hearted man
this winter, IL these shaggy materials
take first place In fashion. To the
observer they are the leading phase

ly a French invention, and even IL
they are not accepted In their entirety
of shagginess, they will undoubtedly
pave the way for an immediate output
of silky materials with rough sur
faces.
The first of these materials was
called "Lionceau," and was invented
late last winter, I think, and then used
as n substitute for fur.
Magnificent as Well as Shaggy.
The majority Of those who dip deep
ly into the sources Of fashions and
fabrics insist that the entire output of
these animalistic materials is due to
the recrudescence of monkey fur. That.
however. would not explain the other
fabrics which are used In the new
French gowns that are arriving In this
country, and which have hunting
scenes. magnificently ornamental, on
a dark background. Jenny uses this
material for panels and for large
pieces Of evening frocks.
Then there are other fabrics which
show birds and birds plumage as the
ornamental design, bat these are Of
minor brilliancy as against the animal
fabrics, which not only toss about the
red and burnt-orange hair OF monkeys
and orang-outangs, but also the names
Of animals such as never existed on
land or sea I; these are made from five
and six-inch strands Of curled silky
floss interviewer with metal.
The bird fabrics are called "Oisella"
and the bu~rnt-orange hides are called
"Orang-outang." In other gowns, espe-
cially n from Bulloz, there is used a
new material called "Toison DOR"
which means s'The Golden Fleece"

that the great masses of women oyer

The president In person opened the
ceremony Of drawing numbers for the
100000 men registered In the new
draft. The capsule he drew contained
the number 800.
Amid ceremonies profoundly Inn
pressive and Of t~ranscendent historical

chief Of staff of the army, received In

And from this reservoir of man pow
er-the largest body of citizen soldiers
ever offered by the people of any ma
ton to their government-General
March is to recruit the army OF 4,OOO,-
600 men which he has promised to
have overseas by July l next to back
up General Pershing on the ~battlefields
OF Europe.
Every man In the registration Is af-
fected, as from those who are not
called for active military duty the
cOuntry's war managers propose to
mobilize a great industrial army Of
wal workers to make certain Of a con-
stantly flowing stream of men and mu-
nitions to the field of battle.
The roll call, which Is to assign to
each Of the 100000 men a military
number determining the order in
which he is to be called, was begun by
President Wilson himself, and not fin-
ished until late In the afternoon next
day.
AS the tally sheets were filed they
were rushed over to the government
printing Office for the official master
list, which, when completed, were sent
by General Crowder to all district
boards throughout the country. which,
In turn were to make them public
through the newspapers. In that way
the country at large was informed Of
the order Of all the numbers within a
few days.
Wilson Is A~ppIauded.
There was a hearty round of APP
plause as the president, blindfOlded
with a piece Of cloth taken from the
covering of n of the chairs used
at the signing of the Declaration Of
Independence, approached the table
on which rested the famous glass
bowl used upon the first drawing.
Provost Marshal Gen. Crowder guild
ed his hand as he reached down into
the bowl to pick one Of the 1900 blue
capsules containing the numbers.
There was increased ~handclapping
when 1t was announced that the first
number of the drawing was 322, for
the number which the president drew
has a registrant representing 1t in
every one of the 1857 local boards In
the country. Every man whose serial
number corresponds to it may there
fore consider that the command to

commander in chief himself.
Vice President Marshall, similarly
blindfolded, picked out the second
number. II proved to be a high num-
ber-7,277-whicb will be order No. z

of registrants to a board ranges only

The Right Path.

Keep Down the Weeds.

Weeds will thrive even when pro-

the pests will devour them, and the

Wilson Approves Making all From

President Wilson has approved a

movement to supplement Provost
Marshal General Growder's work
of fight regulations. In a letter
to- Governor Harrington Of Mary
land, made public tonight, the
president Endorsed adoption by
other states of the Maryland COM
-pnlsory work law, under which
the work or fight principle is
made applicable to all men be-
tween the ages of 18 and so.
General Crowder also has APP
proved the movement and believes
that it not only will give greater
effect to his now regulations but
will further the country in its task
of winning the war by reaching
men below and above the draft
(age. Without some such law as
proposed, eitha. state or national
it was pointed out, men OF draft
age who cannot pass the physical
requirements for active or limited
military service cannot be made
to engage in necessary oc :upa-

message to President Wilson con-

sary OF Americas entry into the
war! cat this critical hour when
our enemies are not sparing sacr-
ifices and not counting costs to
achieve victory, the French and
British troops stand united as

buoyed up with the thought that
the great democracy of the west,
in the same spirit and with the
same objects is putting forth ev-
cry effort to throw it's supreme
force into the struggle which
will finally decide the destincs of
free nations. Americas gallant
deeds by sea and land have al
ready Indicated to the enemy that
his hope is vain. Ever increasing
numbers of Americans pour into
France daily diminishing the
lenemy's chances of success. The
American people may rest assur-
ed that the British Empire, tried
by nearly four years of war, will
Icheerfully make yet further sac
Irifice. The thought that America
is with us heart and soul en-
boldenes us i'm the determination
with Gods help, finally to de-
lstroy the enemy's designs and to
Ire-establish the rule of right and
