LLOYD GEORGE FAVORS
EQUAL RIGHTS AND LEAGUE

London, Dec. 10-Prernier Lloyd
George, at q great meeting in Albert
HILL yesterday, made an appeal for the
votes of the women.
The meeting was attended exclusively
ky women, it being unique in that and
in<other ways. The guard of honor was
made up of members of the various
uniformed wo!nen's organizations.
The premier pointed out that between
5000 900 and Z 7,00o,00 women world
have a direct influence on the lcgisla-
tion of the future, which would largely
depend on how they voted.
"If you suspect any man of going to
the Peace Conference with war In his
heart" said the premier, "vote against
him. The coming peace must make war
difficult if not impossible. Those who
made the war must pay the penalty
The higher they are the more reason
why they should be punished. The Ger
man people must also be made to pay the
penalty. Ii it is an easy peace it will
not be Just peace"

der the new world conditions in which
we live and which the world war has
brought us face to face with, as the
fathers, wise in their day, would have
shaped their policy in the light of pres
ent conditions.
"The Monroe policy provided that no
European nation should be permitted to
extend its authority over an American
nation. The World League policy is an
enlargement of the same doctrine that
tho nation shall be permitted to extend
its power over any other nation, but
that every nation should be left free to
determine it's own policy.
Eve broke with tho traditional
American policy when we sent our brave
boys overseas and joined with the
Allies to conquer the enemies Of dcmoc-
racy. To unite with the same Allies
and covenant with them to safeguard
the fruits of victory for future genera
tions is not any more a new departure,
but a logical sequence and wise pre-
caution"

Washington, Dec. l0.--Notes were sent
TO Berlin and Vienna by the State Depart
ment today advising the German and
Austrian Governments that the United
States desires to receive no further COM
munnications from them which should
properly be addressed to all the allied ma
tons. A note of similar purport previous
ly had been dispatched to the German
Government as the result of requests tn {
the armistice terms be modified.
1t was explained at the department
th7t the notes, sent today through the
Swiss and Swedish Legations, resulted
particularly from communication from
the National Council of Lembcrg regard
ing boundary lines and also by notes from
Austria and Germany which bore no
evidenceof having been similarly oommuni-
Gated to the Governments associated with
the United States.
The note from the National Council of
Lemberg indicated that the State of
Lembcrg desired to establish itself as an
independent community and said the ac-
tivitics of the Ukranians and the Poles
were regarded by the people of Lernberg
with suspicion.

Here is the last word in the tailored

word. It isn't likely that anything
better will be developed for the work

popular that has appeared this sea-

and width for walking skirt, which
should be in the neighborhood of two
yards wide to insure freedom in walk
ing, and reach an inch below the shoe

In cutting a two-piece plain skirt
from wide material there is enough

those that are shown on the model pic

is needed for making it, one-half of

The hat at the right is also Of crepe

are becoming fixture in the millinery
styles of midsummer. 1t is beauti-
fully made with balmasque finish
about the edge of the brim. The trim
consists of collar, covered with mar

with crepe flowers applied flat to the

There are not many things that af-
ford a woman more real satisfaction
than to know that she is wearing be-
coming hat, and her chances of acquir-
ing such a valuable asset were never
better than they are now. The shapes
brought out this season are graceful
and varied. There are almost no freak
ish hats, and there is wide range of
STYLES and considerable variation in
size-in, fact a hat for all types of
faces. 1t is good idea to give plenty
of time to the selection of the right
shape and to remember that trimming
sometimes plays tricks upon the eye
altering the proportions of the shape
apparently.
The first essential of becomingness
in n hat shape lies in its proper fit.
1t is because the head size is too large
or too small that many pretty hat
falls short of being success on the
head of it's owner. When the head
size is wrong all the lines are wrong:
the crown too large or too small and
the brim, therefore not in the right pO-

Recruits generally sent to Blighty
for brand of insect powder adver-
tised as "Good for body lice." The adj
vertisement is quite right; the powder
is good for "cooties;" they simply
thrive on it.
The older men of our battalion were
wiser and made scratchers out of
wood. These were rubbed smooth with
a bit Of stone or sand to prevent splin-
ters. They were about eighteen inches
long, and Tommy guarantees that
scratcher of this length will reach
any part of the body which may be at
tackled. Some of the fellows were lazy
and only made their scratchers twelve
inches, but many a night when on
guard, looking over the top from the
fire step of the front-line trench, they
would have given a thousand "quid"
for the other six inches.
Once while we were in rest billets an
Irish Hussar regiment camped in an
open field opposite our billet. After
they had picketed and fed their horses,
a general shirt hunt took place. The

game. They had a curious method of
procedure. They hung their shirts over
