WILSON SAYS
NOTHING DOING
WITH GERMANY
PRESIDENT PROMPTLY ANSWERS
THAT SURRENDER is THE
ACCEPTABLE POSITION.

He reiterates that the nations of the
world do not and can not trust the
word Of those who have hitherto been
the masters of Germany and gives
warning that il the United States
must deal with the military masters
and the monarchial autocrats of Ger
many now or later II must demand
not peace negotiations but surrender,
Germany,s reply to President Will
sons last note boldly denies the char
ges of illegal and inhumane practices
and promises to quit torpedoing pas
senger vessels
AS a liar the German government
appears as clumsy as the average
square headed beer guzzler and SAL
oonist inflicted upon this country by
Germany. The world knows enough
of the Hun atrocities in this war to
condemn the German race for a thous-
and years, and yet that hideous child
numbering set of robbers has the ef-
frontery to deny it all and want to
bargain for peace because they are
getting the worst Of It, What good
is an agreement with these twoleg
ged brutes? President Wilson says
he can not enter into any agreement
with these outlaws.

Serbians Great Walkers.

All Serbian peasants are great walk
ers. A servant, given short leave,
will think nothing Of footing it to his
home, five and twenty miles off, and
walking back after short day spent
with his family.
1t is quite in the ordinary way Of
their business for both men and women
to be two days on the road to market.
Owing to their remarkable march
ing powers Serbian troops are mObil-
lied and moved with surprising rapid
ity, in spite of the great lack Of rail-
way communication. And Their they
march light.
With little in the bread-bag that
hangs at his belt the Serbian soldier
is quite content If only he can roll
himself a cigarette now and then and
look forward perhaps to tot Of plum
cognac.

IN FASHION LAND.

Percale frocks are fashionable.
Parasols have large polka dots.
Small birds appear on sailor hats.
The new ribbons are very elaborate.
Navy blue serge is smartly COM
bined with blue tulle.
As the season advances more large
hats are noticed.
Silk jersey skirts are among the
prettiest of the season.
When you choose your percale dress
choose a dotted one.
Poney coats are in high favor for the
summer suit of silk.
Braided black satin gowns always
have a certain distinction.
A gray silk frocE is made attractive
with girdle of green.
Low heels for wOmen's shoes are
more and more In demand.

BUTTONS FROM NECK TO HEEL
Closing Gown Down Back an Idea Gre
ated by Designer Aided by
Smart Woman.

Primitive draping is in high fashion.
And right against it, sitting in the
same room with it and exploiting it.
self quite as proudly and successfully,
says fashion correspondent, will be
a gown that is fastened with bone
buttons from the nape of the neck to
the turn of the heel.
1t is pure perverseness to employ
line of buttons down the back of a
frock. The entire world of fashion
was stimulating itself to the utmost
to provide new ways with ancient
ideas. 1t was on the cards that we
would drape ourselves in different
ways. Then some designer, aided by
smart woman, made tight bodice to
frock, buttoned all the way down
the back, and added a Japanese bow
at the waistline.
What was the result? Huge bows
and tight bodices, smoothly pulled
across the bust and sinking in over
the diaphragm, became an exalted
fashion.
Perhaps it was panic, and not per-
verseness, that created this gown. It
takes a sllillful hand to wrap material
around the body in a graceful manner,
and we have not the art of the priml-
tives. A modest woman has q right to
demand that this drapery be well put
together before she appears in it in
public, to dance, to dine or to walk.
The japanese woman can wind her
sarong about her hips, and other an
Client races can tie invisible knots in
material to keep 1t modestly in place,
but we are used to hooks and eyes,
buckles and buttons, and we are bit
afraid to go abroad in something that
depends upon our skill in tying knots
to keep us from being naked and
ashamed.

ADD COLOR TO THE GARDEN
GoIdtinches, Always Attracted by SUM-
flowers, Make Beauty Spot
Especially Attractive.

A very familiar bird in our gardens,
especially when there are sunflowers
growing there, is the beautiful little
American goldfinch.
Their deep black wings and tail and
little cap form striking, though pleas
ing, contrast to their bright yellow
bodies.
Because of their sweet, canary-like
notes they are often called wild ca
naries.
They are very sociable little birds,
being found usually in small flocks !;
they even build their nests in small
communities.
When winter approaches the male
changes his bright yellow coat for one
of sOberer color closely resembling
that of the female.
Numbers of them feed upon the sun.

is Il pleasing sight to go in there and

A MATTER OF SELF-DEFENSE
Pershing Is on the Road to Berlin and
It's Too Late to Stop
Him.
IT'S AWFUL, THIS INJUSTICE WE
HAVE DONE HIM, is PRINCE
LING'S Wall.

1t appears that grave Injustice has.
peen done that modest, truth-loving,.
sorely beset nation of Germany. We.
are made to understand that words
speak louder than deeds for we have
it from the Crown Prince himself, as
stated a few days ago in Budapest:
We do not want to annihilate
our enemy We mean to
hold our own and not let ourselves
be annihilated
How unjust we have been in believ-
ing that Germany wanted to annihi-
late anyone or anything. It was SELF
defense, pure and simple. Der Tag
meant the day Germany should have
to defend her honor against a ma
licious world Deutschland Uber AL
les was only the expression of a de-
sire for a long and prosperous life
That gigantic bristling murder ma
chine that marched through Belgium
and smashed its way toward Paris was.
but the raising of hand to ward off a.
blow
Men, women and children were de-
ported into Germany to protect hui
manity. The women and children
slaughtered in Belgium and France
were killed in self-defense. Poison gas.
liquid fire and the 72-mile gun were
defensive measures only.
Change over His Dream.
But why the sudden change in de-
fensive tactics? Why do the German
armies suddenly decide that they are
contaminated by fighting a hundred
miles over their own border lines?
Why have they decided to return to
sacred soil"?
And yet we rather believe the Crown
Prince and his five brothers do not
want to be annihilated. But why didn't
he explain all that before we got start
ed on this Fourth Liberty Loan? We
can't stop Pershing, Foch and Haig
now, because they are en- route to Ber-
lin and we've got to raise the money
for the trip.
Say, Mr. Crown Prince, plead insan-
ity. That's get you off, And in the
meantime we must buy bonds and put
you out of the crown prince business
forever.

Moving Pictures for the Home.

A comparatively inexpensive combi-
nation moving-picture camera and pro-
iector for amateur use is illustrated in
Popular Mechanics Magazine. 1t
bears about the same relation to the
costly ard heavy professional ma
chimes as Il compact, light camera does
to cumbersome apparatus employed
by portrait photographers. Exclusive
of its tripod, the new movie camera
weighs less than three and a half
pounds. 1t uses standard film and is
operated as easily as any simple "still'
instrument. The capacity of its maga-
zines, designed for daylight loading, is
twenty feet, which, because eight in
stead of sixteen pictures are taken per
second, records as much action as
forty feet of film in professional ma
chine. Sharp, clear pictures capable
of reasonable enlargement for "StillS"
are obtained. BY changing the lens at
taching Il light frame with reels of
200-foot capacity, and mounting a
small, cylindrical lamphouse, the cam
era is converted into Il protector.

Paris, Dec. lG.-PreSidenl Wilson
spent his first Sunday i'll Paris 10y
going twice to church, laying wreath
on the tomb of Lafayette and having
a brief conference with Premier Glenn
enceau and another with Colonel T..
NJ House.
In the evening he rested in prepara-
ton for the comiur strenuous week
of preliminary conferences.
In the morning the president, ac-
companied by Mrs. Wilson and Adnt-
raj Grayson and by secret service
men. went 10 the American Preshy.
terrain church III the Rue de Berri.
His coming was known TO only il few
of the American colony. who had
guessed that the president, being Il
consistent churrhgoer, would choose
a church of his own denomination.
Rev. Chamcey W. Goodrich, the
pastor, took his text from the ninth
verse of the ninth chapter of Isaiah.
He dwelt on the necessity of impreg-
mating political and civil life with
idealiSm, and said that the evolution
of humanity is reaching the last stage
in the constitution of a society of ma
tionS.
The editice was filled, but there was
no special service. The president took
part as he would if he had been at
the Central Presbyterian church in
Washington
In the afternoon President Wilson
went to Il church of Mrs. Wilson's de-
nomination. as is the custom in Wash
ington when he goes twice on Sun
day The church selected was the
American Episcopal Church of the
Holy Trinity. the Bishop Of South
Carolina officiating.
The president visited the tomb of
Lafayette. in the PicpuS cemetery, in
the southeastern section Of Paris,
while returning home after the morn
ing church service. No ceremony had
been arranged at the cemetery, and
President Wilson went unaCcompanied
only by Brigadier General Harris,
secret service operative and Il French
officer assigned to him as a personal
aide The president, removing his hat,
entered the tomb carrying large
floral wreath
As the president placed the wreath
on the tomb he bowed his head and
stood in silence before the resting
place of the famous Frenchman who
helped America in her fight for liberty
He made no speech. He then return
ed to the Murat residence.
In the meantime all the residents
of Paris apparently had turned out
in the hope of getting glimpse of
the president. 1t was remarked that
the Wilson luck was continuing. for
the sun broke through the murky
clouds for the first time in days and
began to dry up the muddy streets.
The sun lit up the city in all its
fiuttering banners and flags.
American army automobiles were
surrounded and cheered whenever
they stopped. All one needed, appar-
emily, to be taken into the hearts of
the crowd was just to look like an
American. Every sort of conveyance
