Enemy Strikers Cheer
Wilson; Unrest Spreads
Temporary Lull in Disorders Among Workers
Dae to Hopes of Getting Food from
Captured Russian Provinces

London, March 20 (by maiD.-
president Wilson's appeals to the
people of Germany have met with
q. decided response among some
i 100000 OF the working classes,
who six weeks ago went out on
strike and were ruthlessly repress-
ed and promptly cowed into resum-
ing work. not only by representa-
tives of the German army, but by
the ostensible leaders of the work
ers, the official Socialist party
leaders.
Since they got the strike sup
pressed the German authorities
have taken all possible steps to
,, prevent the outside world from dis
covering what happened. Reports
in allied countries that the strike
was q fake gotten up by the gov
ernment itsef to trick British and
French workmen into strikes have
given the greatest pleasure in Ber-
lin.
Meanwhile the anonymous lead
ers whose substerranean .propa-
ganda caused the strike are pre-
pairing another. What will happen
no one here. or perhaps In Ger
many, can say. but that the author
tiles are seriously worried is indi-
Gated by their extraordinary ef-
forts to muzzle comment at home or
abroad and their frantic attempts
to make the German people believe
that their food difficulties will be
solved by the loot Of the severed
Russian provinces.
Reports dealing with every
phase of the strikes have now been
received here. They indicate that
peace and not food was the domi-
nant thought in the minds of the
demonstrators. and although the
food situation Is at the bottom of
the trouble. there is a strong and
growing party in Germany that
realizes the justice of the allied
contention that German militarism
be destroyed.
Such things. as are known concern
ing the organization and methods Of
the revolutionary parties in Germany
and Austria cannot be published. as
to do so would be to play into the
enemy's hands. I am assured that 1t
Il 10 NOT the case, dS Chained Dy tne
German government, that British and
American money is being used to TO-
ment trouble. The allies, 1 under
stand at the suggestion of President
Wilson. decided some months ago
what the patriotic mass OF workers
| who desire to nberate themselves and
their country would only be alienated
by any financial or other assistance
from the allies.
One Of the most recent documents
received from Germany is a procla-
nation signed by the General COM
manding the Nineteenth corps dis
tict. From his headquarters in Dres-
den this officer on February "a, Of
fered q reward of $4,000 for fnforma-
ton leading to the arrest Of any OF
the distributors of English and
| American gold" who are trying to
ineite the people to strike. The date
OF this apGeal. three weeks after the
suppression Of the first great strikes,
Ii regarded AZ highly significant.

The path of designers, who are al
ways looking for something new and
beautiful, has been made much easier
than usual this season. Contributions
of two materials, or two kinds of one
material, in a single garment account
for it, The spring and summer styles
were inaugurated by displays that
featured these contributions and we
have benefited by them in several
ways-in inexpensive and original
frocks that are attractive, and in re-
modelled dresses that double the length
OF service of at least one of the fab
RIGS used in them. The styles never
favored the remodeling of frocks more
than they do now.
Usually a sheer material like chif-
fon cloth, georgette crepe, wolfe or net
is made up with heavier goods and
the refinement of these sheer fabrics
lends tone to others as familiar and
commonplace as serge or Bingham.
This makes them an immensely valu-
able resource of the professional and
the home dressmaker. There is no
end to the ways in which materials
have been combined in coats and
frocks. Wolfe and Bingham, georgette
and satin, chiffon cloth and light wool
ems have proved so successful that
they promise a long reign Of combi-
nations in the realm of fashions.
The afternoon gown pictured here
shows how well suited to each other
satin and georgette are in fashioning
a lovely and simple frock. One is as
important as the other in the design;
half the skirt is of satin and half of
crepe and their honors are even in
the bodice also. The sleeves are of
crepe with deep cuffs of satin. Wher-
ever the two materials are brought to-
gether they are Joined by band Of
embroidery in a scroll and flower pat

stitches of heavy embroidery silk. No
dress could present fewer difficulties
to the homo dressmaker. When ging

chet or cluny lace, or tatting are eff
fective for joining them. There is
much joy in a made-over frock that

Hats of Fabric

Fabrics are greatly used by the mil
liners, and whole hats, crowns and
brims are fashioned of georgette crepe,
chiffon, satin, tulle or whatever the
designer happens to fancy. Georgette
and crepe de chine are, perhaps, more
used than any of the other materials,
always excepting nets and laces, and a
hat entirely covered with crepe and
showing straw only in the facing Of
the brim is sometimes untrimmed, save
for a drapery and a knot of the crepe.
Lovely colored silks are used for the
draped toques which are SO much in
vogue.
