We extend no congratulations to Will
liam H., emperor of Germany and king
of Prussia, tomorrow on the occasion of
his 59th birthday. and we think there
may be some in Germany itself who feel
that they will congratulate him only
when he and his royal family step down
from the throne. William H. will have
reigned 30 years on June Is, next, and
although counted as a ruler of warlike
propensities did not really kick over the
traces until Aug. /, 1914. The people of
Germany had thought him their good
friend but now that he has caused mil
lions of them to be driven into the grave
prematurely the survivors have probably
changed their viewpoint quite radically.

PLAYING WITH THE UNITED
STATES.

The first four stipulations OF President
Wilson's peace program the sections on
which Chancellor Won Hertling of the
German imperial government says an
agreement is obtainable without serious
difficulty, mainly relate TO abstract ideas
and they might be construed as being in
favor OF Germany, being such as the
freedom of the seas. When it comes
down to the other sections of the pro-
gram in which explicit demands are made
upon Germany there is an entire change
of front on the part of the German chan
cellor and the fmpossibility of peace on
such basis is emphatieally set forth,
This pronouncement of views by the
chancellor is renewed proof that Ger
many, automatically, is simply playing
with us just as she hopes to play with
lis in a military sense later on. The
United States is being Strung" to use
popular expression, in most ridiculous
manner. There is no real sincerity back
of the imperial governments desire for
peace, whatever may be the wish of the
German people. There is no encourage
mcnt whatever in the statement put forth |
by Chancellor Won Hertling and supposed |
to represent the attitude of Germany to- |
ward her enemies. Hence there must be |
continuation of the war until Prussian |
militarism is really brought to its knees
or until the German people or the pro
letariat," as Leon Trotzky of the Boil |
sheviki calls them, take things into their
own hands in Germany and throttle au-
tocraey by means of a revolution. The
United States government and our allies
can continue to strive to fan the spirit
of the cowed proletarist into just resent
ment against the iron rule of autocraey,
and perhaps can continue to do so with
good effect; but in the meantime we
must fight iron with iron or something
stronger The door of peace is not ready
TO be swung open by the kaiser and his
crew.

 difficult to get a table at a restaurant in the afternoon or evening and while food seemed to be plentiful, still everything was costly. No more so than here, he said, but costly in com
 parison to what French prices were in other days. It was at these restau-
 rants, he explained, that one saw the
 smart women wearing capes swung | from the shoulders at the back by
 jewels, and made of Chantilly lace, embroidered tul1e or irridescent gauge.
 Geld flashed over the surface of ev- l erything.
 Summing it all up. with compre- | hensive gesture that took ill all of Paris, he added that the women there were dressing better than they had
 since July, 1914; that fashions were l most alluring: that clothes were brill ! liant and costly, and that there seemed l to be no lack of anything to make l feminine apparel as seductive as ever.

the season. Half the smart women in Paris wear black tulle in this fashion, over brilliant hats. There are Parisia n turbans. Russian turbans and beaver dam turbans made of brocade trimmed with bands of beading or formed mere ly from drapery of colored silk, and each of these has the voluminous tulle veil that goes over the entire hat and is draped about the neck and shoulders. Smart women are also wearing gold colored tulle wells over black hats. Few of these yoluminous wells cover the face; many of them reach only to the nose. Their purpose is drapery.
 There is no diminution in the fashion for the outside blouse. They have sashes instead of girdles, and the fullness over the hips is taken in at the side seams. The newest material for these blouses is gingham, plaid or plain. A red-and- white checked gingham outside blouse has short sash of Turkey red cotton, and it is worn with white jersey skirt.

of the twelfth century fashions some of the designers. he said, gave the credit for these tunics to China, and not to the twelfth century. Many peo-
 pie readily took up this suggestion in
 Paris because the loose sleeve, the slashes sides and the neck without q collar are definitely Chinese.
 VARIETY IN HATS As for hats. he continued, the wom- en were wearing every shape that had ever been invented. except the hennin. Trey had gone back to the fifteenth century in France for the soft head dress in the evening. They wore the l hair high on top the head and brought | to a point on the brow, la Marie | Stuart, and the bulk of the hair was carelessly coiled into a big loop. Contrary to the expectations of the | buyers, there were few, if any, smart | gowns that had high collars. Thc l French women are tired of them. The American women, if they follow the 1 French fashions. will revert to the low neck in every garment.
 | Blouses, gowns of all sorts and coats wero opened at the front The Eton l collar was in high favor. All the fins white materials. such as were worn in the seventeenth century, were revived I for collars and cuffs; likewise for 1 the fronts. tucked and frlled, that l showed between the widely opened ] spaces of the short Eton jackets. He said that this kind of jacket was apt | to be quite common and might be dis missed in few weeks.
 | Belted coats were out; but there was 1 a type of jacket, cut short on the hips, which had no buttons to fasten it and was held in place by long surplice fronts that loosely tied across the l back. Cheruit had made this garment ,, smart, and America would probably like it as much as the French. ABOUT THE SLEEVES Sleeves were short. Women were even wearing five-inch sleeves in the afternoon, with long suede biege- colored gloves pulled well over the elbow.

4 man who knows his Paris who left America to see all the exh;bi- tions of clothes over there, and who rushed home on the first steamer. splashed out heap of information concerning what happened there this spring.
 The word "splashed" is used advis- edly, for he was so full of his subject that he gave all the points of infor- nlation as rapidly as he thought of them. The connecting links were not needed. Possibly I can repeat 1t son1e- what as he said it:
 Trousered skirts, he began, were considered quite common in Paris. There was a smart tendency toward the tucked-in effect at the great houses. but the fashion, which we are exploiting over here as new, had been worn by the little girls on the boule- wards for several weeks These skirts could be bought in costume or separ- ately at any of the department shops for small sum of money. Therefore, they were done with as an elegant fashion.
 Long tunics from the middle ages were just as much in fashion as they were two years ago.
 Cords were worn around the waist, after the fourteenth century fashion. They were merely twisted pieces of gold, tarnished silver. bronze or a bit Of velvet The majority had their ends carelessly tucked in at the side. Others were tied in a hard knot and hung down the side of the skirt.
 ALL SLIM AND NARROW
 All skirts are slimly cut. The top of the body, from the waist up, was attenuated to the degree of a splinter. All curves were suppressed. Whether the waistline was indicated high, low or normal. there were no curves above or below it. Curious to say. even with this famished silhouette. as some of the French called it. there was no evil dence of corsets being frightened or heavily boned.
 Designers were laughing over there at "reminiscences that were brought up of the French women and fashions during the time of the English occu- patton after the downfall of Napoleon. When the Duke of Wellington was in control of Paris, the designers said, 1t was a stock saying that the women had changed their figures, coloring and stature to suit the fashions. How they did it no one knew. How the women of today set that thin, pliant. narrow top part of their body no designer or doctor can say.
 Girdles. went on this man, were everywhere. They orienta1ized gowns. They were wrapped about the hips and tucked under. without ends
 Az an exact opposite to this fashion, there were immense cords of twisted pearls or gold beads worn directly under the bust. This was not the only touch of the first empire in the new clothes. Paris had not gotten away from Napoleon. The only instance in which she shows it Is the continuation

 New French wraps are luxurious dol mans.
 There is no decrease in Chinese effects. Tassels. embroidery, brocade and all Chi nese fabrics are employed in the new French gowns. Black tulle, embroidered SIX net, thread lace and other kinds or lace flounces are among the first French fashions for dinner gowns.
 short coats are worn as a substitute Tor the zouave jacket, which every wom- an cannot wear. There is one that ties around the waist, surplice fashion. and finishes in big bow at the back. Some times these bows are lined with fur or made entirely of it.
 Flald gingham collars are worn on the new serge and crepe frocks Some are tied about the neck, handkerchief fash ton. organdy collars are piped with gingham. Filet lace is still in high fash Ion for high and low collars. Young girls are wearing the round Buster Brown collar with the black tie. In Eu- rope this is known as the Eton collar. and goes with the short Eton jacket. Pique is used for vast majority of collars. Separate cuffs will be worn more than ever.
 me new sweater is made of narrow satin ribbon instead of worsted The hrst one brought to this country from France contained 1000 yards of baby rib- bon, yet the cost was less than the av- craze silk sweater. These sweaters are promoted by the French to conserve wool. The idea is very clever and will un- doubtedly appeal to hundreds of women who can do the work at home.
 snort waistcoats are more exploited for American wear than the long ones Some Of them are half blouses. They are made or jersey, striped silk and braided cloth. usually they have a narrow belt. fasten- ed in front, of suede or satin They are immensely effective under the new short coats that have wide facing in front.
 Sleeves that open at the wrist, in old Italian style, insist upon being fashion able. Sometimes they roll back upon themselves with a soft cuff: again they are lined with striped Roman silk There IS rarely an undersleeve. The effect is not usually becoming to the arm and hand.
