Sensational one-piece frock of biscuit
colored cloth with draped skirt held
against the ankles by elastic straps
1t has a bib front, long directoire
back, and dangling points hanging
from the sleeves.
1t is a one-piece frock. 1t would
cover the feet and go on the floor if
it were not held back tightly against
the ankles by elastic straps that keep
1t in place. 1t widens over the hips
to give grace. and it has a bib that
is something like a Zouave jacket and
a long directoire back that ends at a
point just where the heels can kick 1t
in a sportive manner.
You will observe that there are also
long. dangling points hanging from
the sleeves. and these pieces Of testers
apparel are a favorite triok with the
house that has designed and exploited
this kind Of costume. often these
points are finished with pompons of
wool. Before you buy such a frock,
it is wise to assure yourself that there
are no kittens or small dogs in the
house.

CANNOT DiSARM Her
Eerlin Vorwaerts Says Peace Confer
cncc Will Decide on the War.

Copenhagen. Oct. 26.-The Socialist
newspaper, VorWaerts of Berlin, says
it does not understand whether COM
plete internal reform on the part of
Germany would make the terms of
surrender easier. 1t continues:
I'm any event, Mr.. Wilson errs If
he believes the former holders of
power in Germany can ever regain
their power. Henceforth there will be
no power in Germany but that-of the
German people. Our opponents who
demand the disarming of the German
people must realize that a great nation
cannot permanently be rendered de-
fenseless. 1t will be demonstrated at
the peace conference whether the war
has been merely adjourned or finally
ended

but 1t is a blow that has come to a
lot of women this autumn. Especially
trying is the servant problem in towns
where are located any number of war
industries that naturally offer higher
wages and more congenial work to
most women than even your own
kitchen. If you really want to start
an argument with your friend who
lives in another town or suburb make
the statement that the servant prob
lem in your locality is worse than the
problem in hers. She can't possibly
agree with you. Every woman sees in
her own location reasons why the SER
want problem is more trying than any,
where else. Those who live far from
factories and war industries seem to
think that for that very reason at least
there would be discharged or discour-
aged factory hands who could be in
duced to work as domestics in factory
| towns. But such is really not the case

HOW RUSSIA WAS RUINED

| (FrOm the New York WOrld)
Russia gives new proof that there
has been no change in the methods
and purpores of German imperialism
ann that thee wilt he no change un-
| Ill that ;r reriulism is or. .ned.
| When the itu"s;;.n revolution came
about in March, 1917, the German au
tocracy set out OF once to strangle
the new democracy that had come into
the world. Through German agents
hundreds of Anarchists and so-called
Internationalists were sent back to
Russia from the United States. These
people had remained Russian subjects
under the law, and whatever the mis-
givings of Washington may have been,
no power existed in the Government
Ito stop the emigration. Among those
who returned from New York was
Trotsky, and to make sure that Lenine
would arrive safely in Petrograd the
German Government gave him safe
conduct from Switzerland.
The moment these agitatOrs reached
the Russian capitol the BolSheVik
movement began to gather in farce.
The first task of Germany to revolu-
The first task was to ALLEVIATE the
Russian people from the Allies. and
to do this work the BolsheVlki bent
all their energies. The deruocracies
of the United States, Great Britain and
France were denounced rs the most
ruthless capitalistlC enemies of the
proletariat, and the propaganda made
immediate Roadway among an igno-
SAINT and credulous population that
was weary Of war and eager to reap
the material fruits o. the revolution.
The next task was 10 overthrow the
Kerensky Government, which had kept
faith with the Allies. This was finally
accomplished, md the 3olsheNlkl
came into power end proceeded to
carry out their pledge of peace with
out annexations or indemnities. The
Germans accepted the formula and the
negotiations began. The Russian
armies were disbanded. The manu-
facture of munitions was stopped. The

JOHN REDMOND

Moses lead the children OF Israel
gu of bondage, led them for Az
wears toward the promised land, a
land which he was permitted to see
from Mount Nebo, but on which his
feet were never permitted to tread,
There is much in the life work and
death of John Redmond, the great
Irish leader, to call to mind the lie
work and death of the great lsraelite.
Both were leaders who lowered above
their fellow men, both devoted their
long lives to the freedom of their
people; both died on the threshold
of the accomplishment of their de-
sires.
Home rule for Ireland, within the
British Empire, is now the law of
Great Britain; but owing to Carson
threatened rebellion and the breaking
out of the great war, Redmond did
not live to see the law become OPP
erative
This much, however will stand for
ever as Redmond's monument:
BY his courage, his persistence and
his ability John Redmond converted
England to Home Rule for Ireland.

AMERICAS FOUR ARMIES

If this war is to be won, we shall
have to put several armies in the
field. The army of soldiers in the
trenches, making of their breasts a
rampant for free government and free
men; the army Of food producers in
the burrows; the women's army Of
food conservers, beating back the
flank attacks and the rear attacks of
the world7old camp follower Of war
famine; and the patriot army of civ
ilans in the business and political
worlds, fighting against disloyal greed,
unpatriotic partisanship, perverted
personal ambition, and economic trea-

Germans We're permitted to transfer
their best troops from the eastern
front to the western front. Russia
sank deeper and deeper into anarchy.
The Bolsheviki were all for peace as
against Germany and all for war
against Roumanians, Firms, Poles, and
who owned property
of any kind.
While Trotsky and Lenine were de-
claring to their deluded followers that
a revolution among the workers Of
Germany and Austria-Hungary was In
evitable, German autocracy was pre-
pairing to reap the reward of its cum
ming and corruption. The doctrine
of peace without annexations and in
IDENTITIES was abruptly repudiated.
its intention of 'rectifying the from
tiers and holding four Russian prov
inces. The Bolsheviki leaders pro-
claimed the end of the war and fin
ished the rehabilitation Of the Rus
sian armies on the eastern front. Then
Germany resumed it's active military
operations and it's commanding officer
now proclaims a new missiOn-that
of destroying anarchy in Russia, the
anarchy that Germany bought and
paid for.
Thanks to the Bolsheviki, Russia
is now helpless before ~ the German
military forces, and there are no OBJ
stacles to any campaign of conquest
that Germany may undertake. Berlin
is restrained only by its own sense
of moderation and the military ne
cessity of not weakening the western
front for troops to hold Russian ter
ritory.
Trusting to negotiation with Prus-
sianism, the Russian people have lost
everything, including honor. The fact
that they were betrayed by their own
leaders is only incidental. Even had
the Lenines and Trotskys been sin
cere, Russia was ruined the moment
it trusted Germanys faith and Ger
many's pledges. and so will any
other country that proceeds likewise.
There is no peace for anybody
while Germany is dominated by its
autocracy, and no peace can
be negotiated.
