"Smileaae" Book Coupons Enable Sol

The sale of "smileage" books, to
be presented to men at army camps
and cantonments, is being arranged
by a subcommittee of the War De-
partment commission on training
camp activities At each of the 10
national army cantonments theatre
has been erected which seats 5000
men. Mars klaw of Klaw and Err
LANCER, a member of the commission,
has arranged for four companies of
the brightest theatrical stars to play
Cheating Cheaters," Inside the
Lines, Turn to the Right" and
Here Comes the Bride"-all tre-
medous successes last year in New
York He has also planned to have
four companies of the highest-grade
vaudeville performers play at these
theatres.
At National Guard camps large
chautauqua tents. with seating ca
pacity of from 1900 to 1000, have
been put up, and first class vaude-
vile is being presented.
The expense of operating this cir
cult of "a theatres is met by admis-
sion charges which run from ten
cents to IS cents.
"Smileage' books contain 20 or 100

chased for 81 or SIS respectively, and
sent to a soldier friend at the camp.

Silks FOR SPRING
Necessity to Some Extent Back
of Demand for This Material.
Satin, Also, in Tailored and Sports
Suits Promises to Dominate the
Field During Early Season.

The graceful gown shown in the
sketch may be accepted as an example
of the dignified, conservative type of
frock that will be much worn during
the coming spring. To very large ex-
tent draperies, at least the draperies
that flare at all, have been relegated
to oblivion for the time being, and the
straight silhouette is the desired and
approved one.
Silk fabrics of all kinds are the log
ical ones for spring, and it does not
upset the usual order of things that
necessity is to some extent back of the
urge for silk garments for spring 1918.
Silk and satin tailored and sports suits
will dominate the suit field.
Despite statements to the contrary,
suits are really being worn 10 consid-
cradle extent this winter. The fact be-
comes more evident as the season ad.
vances, and the weather admits of the
wearing of handsome, heavy, elab0-
rately fur-trimmed garments.
Suits for the winter may be said to
be fashionable rather than popular. A
compliment is paid to the suits shown
by this statement. Suits are, for this
season at least, the aristocrats Of the
women's apparel field.
Dresses, however, are perennially
popular and fashionable as well, and,
as stated, the model here shown is an

Hat Trimming Cast Aside.

Lines-all lines-are the new hats
as they come along. More and more
they cast aside all vestige of trimming.
The materials from which they are
constructed are vastly important fea-
ture of the situation. Oilcloth and pat
ent leather hats can be ultra smart
who would have dreamed in an earlier
day that this particular material would
make an acceptable hat? The smart
est ones have some drapery used in
their making, though there are those
with the covering stretched on per-
fectly plain and smooth. The shapes
are of the turban variety with brims
that turn up in front and flare percep-
tibly. Trimming would be an out
rage on these hats. They are perfect

Results of the smileage campaign,
which put books of theater admis-
sion coupons on sale in nearly every
town and city in the country, show the
small towns and villages far ahead of
the cities in overselling their proper
tionate quotas of books.
Pilot Rock, Ore, was the first town
in the country to send in check. Lau-
rens, Iowa, town of 900 population,
took in 800 before the first smileage
book was received. Titouka, Iowa,
with 200 population, bought $63 worth
of books, the largest sale in proportion
to population yet returned.
The coupons in smileage books are
exchanged by the soldiers for admis-
sion to entertainments in theaters
built in the camps by the commission
on training camp activities. Admis-
sion charges range from 10 cents to
25 cents, or from two to five smileage
coupons.

rne committee on public information
has received the following excerpts
from a speech in the German reichstas
by Herr Ledebour, joint leader Of the
independent socialists:
again has an opportunity been neg
lected to satisfy the worlds longing
for peace. 1t is plain that a step back
ward has been taken and that the po-
litical authorities have completely
adopted the military views of the con-
seryatives. 1t is very disquieting for
friends of peace to hear the chancellor
say that we now have free hand In
the west. Czernin's speech is Strik-
ing refutation of Hertling's, for Ger
min accepts Wilson's proposals as the
basis of understanding, whereas the
chancellor rejects them. We hope,
nevertheless, that we shall soon have
the negotiations, which Czernin's &C.
tion permits us to expect. We can
not agree to Czernin's and Kuehl-
mann's Interpretation of the right of
self-determination. We want general
peace on democratic foundation. The
pretended popular manifestations in
the occupied territory were brought
about under the influence of the Ger
man administration. The creation OF
the kingdom of Poland was a tremen-
dous mistake. The German govern
ment must give up its false methods,
and we shall soon have peace i'm the
east. The true opinions of nations
can only be expressed by a referen-
dunn after evacuation. The Father
land party wanted to replace Hertling
with Prince Buelow. but that is no
longer necessary. Militarism has won
the day. and the proletariat must
force peace on the basis of the recon-
ciliation of all nations"

The automatic insurance ceased on
February II, but the compensation

case of death follows:
(a) For a widow alone, $25.
(b) For widow and one child, S35.
(c) For a widow and two children
$475O, with $5 for each additional

(d) If there be no widow, then for
one child, $40.
(e) For two children, $50.
(f) For three children, $40, with S.

(g) For a widowed mother, $50. The
amount payable under this subdivision

Now that American troops are TAX
ing their places in the trenches, atten-
ton is again directed to an estimate
by the secretary of war, that the losses
up to June 1, 1917, of the British ex-
peditionary forces from deaths in ac-
ton and from wounds amounted to but
z per cent of the total of all men sent
to France since the beginning Of the

The ratio of losses of this character
today. because of improved tactics, Is
less than Z to every 100 men.
It is the opinion of the United

gross maximum profit for wholesalers
In flour should not exceed from 90 to

should not exceed from so cents to
S1.2O per barrel, depending upon the
character of service performed. Where
retailers sell in amounts less than the
original mill packages, the gross proht
should not exceed 1 cent a pound.
