HAYS SEES ROOSEVELT.
But Republican Leader Denies He
 Talked Politics.

New York, Feb. 27.-Will H. Hays, new chairman of the republican na- tiona1 committee, had a half-hour conference with Col Theodore Roose- welt yesterday at the hospital where the former president is convalescing from two operations which he under went several weeks ago. Nothing was forthcoming relative to the matters they discussed.
 In discussing his conference here with six former republican national chairmen, MT. Hays said the visit had resulted in much that would be of benefit to him in the future guidance of the party's policy. He said there was nothing of an official nature to announce at this time other than that the republican organization would be conducted along safe and sane lines.
 In Washington he is to be the guest of the republican congressional representatives at dinner in his honor.
 Just before his departure for Washington, MT. Hays said he had congratulated Col. Roosevelt on his recovery and no question of politics entered into their conversation.
 ''It was neither the time nor the place to talk politics." he said, but l felt it my duty as the chief execu- tive officer of the republican organi- zation to pay my respects to the colonel, for the most part our con- versation was devoted to the war
 Tt is my intention to see every one-Penrose, Shoot and Johnson and endeavor to bring about an un- derstading among the leaders of the republican party continued Mr. Hays 1T expect to return to New York Friday and at that time I will use my best efforts to have the lead CTS in the party consult with me-"

No Conquest of Russia.

Declaring that the new German operations against Russia were taken at the request of the population to restore order, and that they did not aim at conquests, the chancellor con- tinued:
 "Our war aims from the beginning were the defense of the fatherland, the maintenance of our territorial in tegritv and the freedom of our eco homie development. Our warfare, even where it must be aggressive in action, is defensive in aim. l lay es- peciaI stress upon that just now in order that no misunderstandlg shall arise about our operations in the east. After the breaking off Of peace negotiations by the Russian delega- tion on February 10, we had free hand as against Russia. The sole aim of the advance of the troops which was begun seven days after the rupture, was to safeguard the fruits of our peace with Ukraine. Aims of conquest were in no way a determining factor. We were stren s.Sl- ened in this by the Ukrainians' ap- peal for support in bringing about order in their young state against the disturbances carried out by the Bolsh eviki.
 "If further military operations in other regions have taken place, the same applies to them. They in nc way aim at conquest. They are sole- ly taking place at the urgent appea Is and representations of the popula- tions for protection against atrocities and devastation by Red Guards and

SLUMP IN EVENING DRESSES
Departments Formerly Crowded by

Manchester Guardian: 1t is a sig
nitIcant fact that the most difficult
thing to find in the sales today is an
evening dress. The loneiest depart

ly crowded by bargain hunters eager
for evening fnery, and one may find

class that neither customer nor

ed rooms where melancholy little
delicately tinted dresses hang at in
teryals in the once overhowing glass
waiting in vain for girls who want
to buy them. Some OF the shops
have a mere score or so of modish
evening dresses, and offer almost
hopelessly bargains of the tight
skirted era, and some depend en-
tirely on their prehistoric goods.
One buyer in a good house declared
that he had not so much as looked
at ready made evening dress since
the war began, and a man who was

there were many who would echo

THE FINN

From Christian Science Monitor:
The Finn is hurriedly seeking to
make friends with everybody. He is
at last independent, and has sent his
delegates over large part OF the
earth to tell the nations the glad
tidings. Every one seems to be
tumbling over everybody else to
congratulate him, to give him an OF
fetal approval Of nationality, and
to shake his Finno-Urgic hand.
The land OF the Firms, the Fen
land, or Seiomen-maa, which thus
comes to be of common interest, IS
vast tract OF lakes and granite
rocks. More than half is, in fact,
occupied by stony basins OF clear
water. The want OF vegetation, eX-
cept moss and lichen, III one part
and the unwelcome abundance of
vast desolate districts in another,
have given him very little chance to
sufficiently populate his beloved
country. As to the Finn himself,
the Slavonic chronicles call him
"Choud,' and both he and his Ian
guage are really Oriental, in the
sense that the Hungarian, his racial
brother, is. Possibly he is OF that
red-haired stock living in wooden
cities, mentioned by Herodotus as
lying to the north OF his Sarmatians.
1t is quite possible, too, that not
long before English King Alfred
was burning the historic cakes,
"Chouds' were at Perm, in Asia,
worshiping a gilt idol and trading
with India. The Finn, in fact. CON
tinued to be an idolater, even in his
new home, until the Swcdes in gen.
eral, and Henry an Englishman, in
particular, gave him Christianity.
Since the Swedish conquest, he has
been a Lutheran, a Swedish subject
with a Swedish upper class minority
about his neck, and a Russian: al
ternately also, the recipient of COM
parative freedom and of uncompro-
missing oppression. In his tempera-
mental makeup, he is silent and
stolid, melancholy and suspicious
simple and honest, grateful and pa
tient. He early developed litera-
ture of a minor. fragmcntary char
acter, mainly oi folklore and ballads
which passed from mouth to mouth,

CALLING ALEXANDER TO
WAR SHOCKS FANS
Noted Pitchers Departure Will
Cost Weeghman $4,000.

Chicago, April l2.-The calling OF
Grover Cleveland Alexander pre-
Hier pitcher Of the National League
into the army. as reported today
from his home in ST. Paul. Neb., will
cost Charles A. Weeghman, presi-
dent OF the Chicago Nationals, $780,
600. Weeghman made this state
ment after being informed that the
big pitcher had been drafted and
ordered to report at Camp Funston
on April 20.
News of AleXander's loss was a
shock to WeeGhman, who purchased
the pitching star and lis battery
mate, Catcher William Killifer, from
the Philadelphia club, for pur-
chase price reported to lie in excess
of 100000. 1t was one of the big
gest baseball deals in tic history OF
the game.
Couldn't Believe 1t.
"What's that-read it again OK
claimed Weeghman when the dis
patch advising OF AleXander's call
into the army was read over the tel
ephone.
That certainly is a wallop-a Sc
rious shock for the Chicago club,
.Weeghman said after the dispatch
was again read to him.
1T means that we shall lose $780,
600. There was stipulation in the
deal with the Philadelphia club that
if either alexander of Killifer was
called into the army thirty days be-
fore the opening OF th9 season OF
the deal could be called off. That
time, of course, has passed.
"While we are sorry to lose him
especially at this time, we are glad
to help the government in any way
and of course will do nothing to OBJ
tain his release" Weeghman said.
Was Paid $4,000 Bonus.
Weeghman admitted for the first
time today that Alexander had been
paid a $4,000 bonus for joining the
club this season. He had been con-
sidered hold out as lie demand
ed part of his purchase price from
the Philadelphia club, ara Weegh-
man gave him $4,000 to satisfy him
, Alexander is the first baseball star
Of magnitude to be called to the col
orr. Experts are Of the opinion that
his loss will materially weaken the
pennant chances OF the Chicago
club.

One Of the most effective methods
adopted by food officials has been the
enlistment of women's clubs and other
civic organizations to aid in cleaning
campaigns. 1t Is possible under the
best conditions for food inspectors to
visit any one store but few times
each year. The members of local or
CARNATIONS and the housewives who
visit the stores daily can exert an eff
fective influence for cleanliness once
their interest Is aroused and the i'm
portance of the work pointed out to
them. AS soon as the proprietor Of
food shop realizes that his customers
reasonable sanitary requirements he at
once falls in line.
Federal, State and City Cooperation.
Federal, state and city food officials
cooperate in enforcing laws applicable
to foods and drugs, and in conducting
educational campaigns for cleanliness.
At recent meeting Of the Association
of American Dairy, Food and Drug
officials plans for closer cooperation
were worked out. City food officials
were admitted to membership In the
association and arrangements were
made for the organization of state
associations of food control officials and
for associations of sectional groups Of
federal, state and city food officials
who have common conditions and COM
mon problems.
The Federal Food and Drugs Act
does not confer authority to regulate
directly the sanitary conditions Of
stores and shops where food is put up
or sold. However, If food becomes
contaminated in an insanitary store,
or In any other manner, and is after
ward shipped ilto interstate COM
merce, the party responsible for the
shipment may be prosecuted under the
federal law, and the contaminated food
may be seized.

In localities where leaves are OBJ

advisable to make use of this material
