THE PEACE OUR SOLDIERS WANT
THE PEACE OUR WAR
MOTHERS WANT

The Stars and Stripes, the official
newspaper published by the soldiers
of the American Expeditionary
Forces in France, says editorially
about the enemy peace offensive:
"Let the weak hearted who are
dreaming of compromise; let the
pacifists who are talking a peace by
agreement; let the sideliners who
have had enough of war; let the Sc
cretly inclined pro-Germans who
think this war should nd without
decision-let them one and all know
once and for all that for the Ameri-
can Expeditionary Force there is no
such word as Peace with the Huns
unbeaten. The man who talks of
peace today, except through victory,
is traitor"
The enemy peace offensive is lik-
ened to the action of German ma
chine-gun crews in the Vesle fight
ing, when they fought and killed
Americans until they were surround
ed, then shouted "Kamerad."
The mothers of the American SOL
diers in France want the same peace
their sons demand. All the courage
of the ancient Spartan mother is in
the hearts of the women of America.
The object of the Fourth Liberty
Loan sto bring that peace---a Just
peace. righteous peace, an ,Ameri-
can peace.

Turn of Austria and Turkey Now
Paris. Oc,. 9.-The opinion is
growing here that the surrender of
Turkey cannot now be long delayed.
The Temps Tuesday evening re-
marks that Ferdinand, in being the
first to capitulate, strikes blow at
Turkey and may perhaps have done
service to Austria. For Turkey is
now isolated, and Austria now has
the excuse which up to now she has
lacked
1t is reported here that the Turk
'sh Government is very uneasy at
the persistence of the Germans in
insisting on appropriating the Rus
sian Black Sea fleet. 1t is asserted
that Talaat, on recent visit to Ber-
lin, demanded the handing over OF
these ships to Turkey. The Turkish
plea is that such powerful units in
the hands of the Germans would
constitute perpetual menace for
stantinople, and reduce Turkish in
dependence to nothing.
The question is only worthy OF
reference because it supplies yet an
other reason for foreseeing a forth
coming breach between Turkey and
the Central Empires.

There is little possibility that our clothes

does not mean scarcity Of other fabrics.
There is no evidence of a shortage in the

York shops for the Southern season embody
these materials in clothes that cling to the
figure, but are not scanty.
The materials chosen for the new spring

The tendency toward wrapped gowns and

to be overlooked. 1t is quite probable that

quest that created the narrow silhouette and
the short, scant skirt which came out in French
models last autumn.
1t is not possible for the onlooker to see
that France has tried to get around this small
measurement of wool. In few gowns or
suits for she midseason she may have put more
material than usual, because she heard that
America would not accept the slim silhouette
launched last August.
When the new models came over from Paris
last September the reporters of fashion laid
great stress upon the scarcity of material and
the attenuated line but it fell upon deaf cars,
as far as the majority of manufacturers were
concerned. The American trade continued to
put out clothes that had enough wool in them
to make an army overcoat and blanket. The
American public said that it did not want to
wear the short, narrow skirt and the tiny
jacket, and now, when this country has gotten
into part panic over the wool question in
clothes. the designers insist that they need
operation with France if the clothes
to be a success.
True cooperation with France is needed,
but from side, not theirs.
At any rate, the request for the gowns that
are made of less than four and a half yards
of wool has been met in Paris by an almost
total elimination of wool in the new spring
models.
Nine Paquin, who is the head of the asso
citation Of designers over there, says that
America need have nothing to fear in regard
to extravaganza with material in the new
clothes.

1t not possible for American fashions
to avoid the military influence, although there
was pressure against it here as in France Old
and half forgotten wars gave the designers
inspiration, but the present war was too vital
to influence dress at this hour.
However, there are certain garments that
have been taken up by women and put into
high fashion, which are distinctly drawn from
the battle front in France
