NO, PEACE TILL VICTORY.

John Mitchell.

John Mitchell. chairman OF the local
Federal Food Board, speaking under the
auspices OF the Central Labor Union m
Prospect Park Brooklyn, yesterday, told
his audience he lie convinced that the
wage working people of America will not
permit peace until the Prussian vandal,
on Bonded knee, duplicates the forgive
Gass Of God and the mercy Of man for
the outrases he has perpetrated against
civilization and mankind.
Mr. Mitchell spoke chiefly OF trade
unionism. its growth and the improve
mcnts effected by II for the American
working man and woman. He said:
The trade union movement Is pri-
marily and fundamentally a moral move
ment. While attention Is attracted to II
by its strikes and its struggles. yet the
battles It fights in defence of the poor
and the helpless are but phases OF the
greater movement that is making for the
mental, the moral, and the physical de-
velopment of all our people"

Wilson Just Walks Around.
At $50, when Secretary Wilson

dress. He said:
II Just want to congratulate labor in

try. To-day's parade demonstrated that
labor is standing behind the boys in
the trenches with the highest possible
standard OF productive efficiency.
Labor realizes that this is its war,
that democratic institutions have been
threatened by the military caste OF Ger
many. and that 1t Is only In democrscies
that tSne common people have an OPP
portunity OF working out their own
destinies IN their own way.
THE situation is exactly similar to
that in an industrial strike. 1t may
require suffering and all kinds OF sacri-
nee before the strike can be won, but
the worker has an abiding faith that
out of the suffering and sacrifice will
come greater safety for our institutions
and more perfect Democracy than
ever before.
and lust as there Is bitterness against
those who. during an Industrial strike,
scab on the striking workmen, so the
workers OF the country to-day naturally
have u feeling Of bitterness against any
one who scabs upon the United States
or America in the great strike against
the Kaiser and German militarism.'

THE SLUMBER ROBE.

We used to hear lot more about
slumber robes than we do nowadays.
Som etimes we called them afghans,
and sometimes couch throws, and
sometimes they were truly abomina-
iions from the decorative point of
view. To be sure there were some
crocheted or knitted ones that We're
made in soft. effective tones, but
oftenest we made them of all the COL
ors of the rainbow and a few that
never were in any rainbow-mingled
all the colors that had been left over
from worsted work by ourselves and
our friends until the result was
something that would put JoSephs

of any extra warmth. But now that

FASHIONS

To deny ones self velvet or vel
veteen suit or frock in a season when
these materials are SO popular seems
a bit of sartorial martyrdom, especial
Iy when it is possible to buy the ma
terial and. using a design as simple
as the one shown in the sketch, turn
out a clever little frock at compare
lively trif1ing cost.
OF course the best velvets and vel
veteens are rather expensive, and it
never pays to buy cheap materials;
but when one considers that these
rich fabrics require little if any trim
ming, and that by far the loveliest
frocks are the simplest ones. practi-
ca1ly any woman may safely reason
that she is entitled to and can afford
such a dress.
A rich brown velvet or velveteen
would be suitable for the dress here
illustrated. the only trimming to be a
little scroll embroidered border about
neck, sleeves and peplum made of
either tan colored angora or heavy
silk floss. The dress fastens on the
shoulders and underneath the arm at
