Two Ministers who Opposed
His Dictatorship Have
Been Arrested.

Vladivostok, Tuesday, Nov. H.
(By the Associated Press.) s.)-Through
a coup on the part Of the, council Of
ministers Of the new all-Russian gov
ernment at Omsk yesterday, Admiral
Alexander Kolchak has become vir-
tual dictator and commander Of the
all-Russian army and fleet. Two min
listers, Avksentieff and Zenzenoff,
who opposed Admiral Kolchak's die
tatorship, have been arrested. The di-
rectors of the erstwhile Ufa govern
ment support Kolchak.
kilograms received here from
Omsk state that the move was "due
to extraordinary circumstances and
danger menacing the state.'
The council Of ministers has as
sumed authority and transferred it to
Admiral Kolchak. The latter has ac-

as supreme governor" General
Horvath, General Ivanoft, minister Of
war of the Omsk government and
General Renoff, former commander
Of the all-Russian forces, announce
that they recognize the new authority
M. Vologodsky, head Of the west
ern Siberian government, who is a
member of both the directorate and
the council of ministers, retains his
post as premier. General Bolderoft
is absent from Omsk and his attitude
is unknown. French Commissioner
Renault is at Omsk and British Com
missioner Elliott will leave immedi-
ately for that city. +
While there have been rumors that
such a development might occur at
Omsk. they were not given credence
and the news came as a distinct sur
prise to Allied commanders and rep

cal Zemstvo, provisional council and
other minor organizations held a con-
ference early this morning. It is
indicated that there is at present a
disposition not to recognize the Kol-

The great weakness in the situation
in Siberia, it has been believed for
some time, is the lack Of a powerful
head of the government who cannot
be swayed by popular demonstrations
and who will work toward the recon-
struction of the government with, a
firm hand. Admiral Kolchak is
thought to be a man who will not
misuse his authority and whose hos
tility toward the Bolshevik elements
which have led to the disruption Of
the country is strong.

SOMETHING NEW In COLLARS
Made Of CeIIuIoid Has Recently
Been introduced.

The separate starched collar was
invented about ninety-two years ago
by the wife of a blacksmith living at
Troy, n. Y, who made one for her
husband. Since then it has grown in
popularity until there is probably no.
body who has not worn a starched
collar at some time or other. Now
it's popularity is on the decline again,
partly on the score of comfort and
partly as a result Of the war.
The crux Of the matter does not
lie with the collar ITSELF though that
is made from material which is use
full for bandages. It's the starch that
is to be saved-valuable foodstuff that
ought not to be wasted on collars,
says Popular Science Monthly.
A permanently stiffened collar is
being introduced which is not cellu-
loid, but is a regular fabric collar
treated with a kind Of varnish that
makes it possible to clean it under the
tap or with a damp cloth. Automo-
bilists should be among those who ap-
preciate this new fabric, for, in spite
of road dust, it is always possible to
''feel clean" in a clean collar. A col
lar of this kind will last from two
weeks to month.

Chinese Omens.

The Chinese people never associate
dreams with lobster salad. Their art
list represents dreams pictorially by
means of spiral or curl, as of vapor
proceeding from the dreamer's head
and broadening out until large enough
to receive the figures which enter into
and compose the dream.
They believe that gorillas and bears
are omens of sons, and serpents and
snakes of daughters. (The ladies have
Grandma Eve to thank for that.) If
you dream of a dwarf, things will not
go well; your enterprise will stick
halfway and you will be laughing
stock to all; if of sweet perfume, you
will meet women and girls; of bam-
boos, you will become a recluse; of
combs, there will be a separation; of
willows, you will shortly travel, and if
you dream of q broken bed some i'll
will befall your wife.

FANCY PARASOLS ARE PASSE
Attractive Coored Umbrellas Have
the Call for Best and Every
day Use.

Don't buy fancy parasol this year.
This is the advice given by an author
ity on the sunshade question.
The automobile is partly to blame
for the decline of the parasol, and the
rugged outdoor life so many women
lead is another reason fancy parasols
are no longer carried. There are 50
few Of the Lydia Languish' type of
woman these busy days that the at
tractive colored umbrellas are used for
best and every day for rain and shine,
and there is no need for parasols.
There is a certain type of woman,
however, who will refuse to part with
the parasol. She is the kind that Is
years ago, Or such a matter, carried
three or four elaborate parasols when
she went on an Out-of-town visit,
strapped together with a leather
buckle, on which was silver or gold
plate bearing her initials. The thin
white China silk ones were about as
much protection from the suns hot
rays as are transparent hats.
The new umbrellas, however, are
just as pretty as were their parasol
predecessors. They are Of the most
brilliant or subdued colors, green, blue,
wine, red, brown, gold or purple, with
or without a fancy border. The
handles, of course, are the short stubby
ones which really are sensible, and are
held comfortably on the arm by a hoop
of cord, ribbon or ring handle of
ivory or celluloid.
About the only new parasols sold
now are those for little girls, or the
tiny motorcar sunshades.

HOSIERY AND SHOE SHADES
uIar consolidating Requires
Careful Attention.

If you have q new pair Of mahogany
or chocolate oxfords Or walking pumps,
be stre to take them-or one of the
pair at least-with you when you Sc
lect stockings to accompany your new
footwear.
1t is positively bewildering to note
how many shades of mahogany and
chocolate the stocking manufa cturers
seem to have achieved this season. And
no co1or-save perhaps blue-is so
bard to "carry in ones eye" as a shade
of brown.
There are reddish brown stockings
and purplish brown ones, and yellow
ish brown ones, and without the leath-
er footgear as guide it is extremely
difficult to pick out the exact shade re-
quired.
In matching the shoes to stockings
also remember to slip your hand-bare,
not gloved-inside the stocking to get
the effect Of the sheer weave over the
skin. So delicate are some Of the new
shades that the mere addition of the
flesh tone beneath will prevent a good
match in stocking and shoe.
1t is usually well to buy tan or
brown silk stockings a little darker
than one needs, for some of the color
is apt to come out in the first washing.
Such stockings should be carefully
washed and should not be rubbed on
a board, and they should be hung in
the shade to dry.

WEAR SEALSKINS,
LATEST REQUEST
American Government Behind
Sale and Exploitation of Our
Own Seals.
CENTER OF INDUSTRY HERE
Prophecies for Autumn Are That
France and America Will Join in
Using Soft, Ripping Furs in
Lavish Quantities.

New York.-The American govern
ment is interested in the exploitation
Of sealskin. That is sentence preg-
nant with significance. It means one
thing: to Hooverize on the other furs
and use the kind which the Pacific
coast produces, writes a leading fash
ion correspondent.
It is said that the dyes and the pre-
paration of fur for costume usage are
exceptionally good. The story goes
that quite a degree of sharp irritation
has been caused among certain groups
of individuals concerning the dyeing
knowledge that st. Louis has made her
own. Whatever the outcome of the

However much our thoughts last

we have forgotten zero weather now
to the extent Of wearing the thinnest
and coolest nightgowns imaginable.
Many Of them are quite sleeveless,
with bands of colored muslin, in pink
or blue, around the deep armholes,
matched by similar bands about the
deep V-shaped neck.

irritation, the fact remains that the
fur people say that women have moth
ing to fear from the grade, the quality
Or the celebration of the fur that will
bear the American label.
Everyone does not know the extra
ordinary situation which was develop
ed in the fur trade before the war
broke. The simplest piece of Ameri-
can peltry that an American girl wore
had probably made q little journey half
around the world and was far more
travelled than it's possessOr. You could
catch a coon in Georgia., send it to
London for preparation, across the
English channel to France to have
style and finish put into it, then, from
a port in France to an Atlantic port,
and finally journey it across the con-
tinent, drop it into various places, well
known and unknown, and sell it to an
American woman.
Such was the fate of a piece of fur.
Today our peltry stays at home. We
can catch coon in Georgia, an OpOs
sum in Alabama, trap a mink in New
England, get together all the cats and
rats the nation does not need and turn
them out between ST. Louis, New York,
Chicago and San Francisco into mot
ley array of admirable furs.
Will Push Native Sealskins.
Fostering this condition is the Amer
lean government. Our native seal
skin will be pushed to the limit Of ex
plOitation as a fashionable fur, and
there is no reason for women to linger
far behind THE government in it's de-
sire to have these skins sold in a steady
fashion.
The reason for the enthusiasm on
the part of the majority of women for
this soft and pliable fur, is it's effect
upon the human face and figure. It is
singularly attractive to flesh and bone.
1t falls into supple folds; it brings out
the best in complexion. RaccOOn,
Opossum, skunk and all the other long
haired furs are stylish, one admits, but
they are not becoming. Silver foxes
are graceful enough in their undula-
tons and the hairs are soft enough to
keep woman's face gentle and fem
mime, but when stiff-haired fur is put
against the chin, the features are hard
ened as though a cold wind had passed
over them.
Paris is augmenting the use of seal
skin. Capes are made with Is and 20
inch borders of it; skirts are made
with floating panels Of it lined with
chiffon; medieval cuirasses of heavy
embroidered satin that show CLINT of
silk and metal in the design have long,
medieval sleeves of American sealskin
which flare over the knuckles.
The sealskin sacque will come back
with the ostrich feather. These have
always been associated in the minds
of those who remember the days of old,
when the height of bliss to fashion

ready advancing the idea in sport and
country costumes for bad days.
Paris wore these coats all during
the spring because of the constant rain
and the fact that she was in the open
more than ever before. They are of
seal and light brown, Of dark blue and
black, and they are fastened with
leather-covered bottoms. Usually there
are pockets and a loose girdle cut
from strip of leather. This is not
fastened by a buckle, but in the
medieval manner of one end of the
thong slipped over and over the other.

that way? Why didn't you get up and
say you'd go, anyway?
''Why, Miss Marvin, thought a trial
was a trial. 1t would be queer for
man to say: oh, stop it, I'll confess
I'm guilty. just to stop the fuss,
wouldn't it,"
"Well, yes," Mary admitted, 'but
you needn't let it come to that. Why
do you suppose the Lord gave you all
that strength if not to defend your
country"
ooh, Why" stammered Bert, "I'll go
if you want me to-" But Mary had
walked away, her head in the air.
Bert was puzzled. He had heard
little discussion Of the war. To him it
was q matter Of age. He'd go when
called. What was the matter with the
girl? He'd go ask her.
Mary hesitated. then held out her
hand. 'T-m0ther says I was rude to
you today. Forgive me and I'll tell
you how | feel about it."
SO Bert received his first lesson in
patriotism from the lips Of a pretty
girl, too much in earnest to remember
that she was pretty; that Bert was
handsome-or anything else except
that she wanted him to be a soldier.
Presently Mrs. Marvin came in and
Bert spent the happiest evening of his
life. When he arose to go he asked
and obtained permission to come again.
Returning to the Windsor, he saw
light in the Free Press office and went
up to thank the editor for his kind
ness. He disclaimed any credit, say
ing that he was friend Of his family;
intimated that Bert was glad not to
90 to war.
"Why, no, Mr. FRESHMAN, don't care
much either way. Thought I'd go
when called; but I've made up my
mind to enlist. Pm not a coward"
But the editor dismissed him with a
curt nod, to Bert's chagrin.
His lessons in patriotism progressed
till the town Wond cred if Bert would
stay in Hays OF Mary go to the noun
tains. Bert was sure that life without
Mary was not worth living. But Mary
tearfully but firmly refused him, dear
ly as she knew she loved him; she
could not marry man younger than
herself-She was past twenty. Bert
did not tell her he had enlisted, but
said good-by and took the first train
back to camp. A dreary journey, but
more than one Indifferent chap who
talked to Bert had his views changed
about his duty to his country.
His camp fellows met him eagerly,
glad that he was back; they had miss
ed him; had some mail for him, too.
It was a belated letter from his
mother, telling him Of sickness, dis
couragements and inability to get mail,
but the paragraph that held his at
tention read: "You are now of draft
age, my dearest son, because after you
were hurt and missed school, I gave
you the birthday of the baby that died,
so you'll not seem so behind in school
work. No one knows this, dearest
but mother and you. Do as your heart
bids YOU"
"Heart's all right, mother DEAR" he
whispered, kissing the letter. Then to
the camp:
"Well, fellows, came back to tell
you the news. Pm engaged to the
prettiest girl in Ellis county, and have
enlisted in Uncle Sans army-in Col
oradO-didn't want to stand in the way
of any Hays patriots-so better be
good to BERTHE while you've got a
chance"
Of course, the announcement of his
engagement was bit hasty, but Mary
corroborated it when told the particu-

Auto Routes For Parcel Post Service

Postmaster General Burleson has
put into operation national scheme
of automobile post deliveries, that
will relieve the freight congestion to
a large extent.
Hundreds of motor-trucks, oper-
ating over great trunk routes ex-
tending from Portland, Me-, to Jack
sonville, Fla; from Baltimore, Md,
to Chicago, ILL.,; from Chicago to
New Orleans, and from New Orlean
to Savannah, Ca. will move through
farming districts and make direct
connection with the nearest market
and with private consumers.
They will deliver food, dairy
farm and garden products by parcel
post, limited packages, direct from
producer to consumer.
Reduce the cost of transportation
through the elimination of from one
to five landings, although the parcel
post rate of one cent pound must
prevail.
Carry any produce not exceeding
so pounds in weight or more than
"a inches measured around the
package both ways.
The routes run through sections
that lie off the trunk highways be-
tween the lare cities, for the ex-
press purpose of giving the farmers
direct and quicker connection with
the markets. Many farmers now
have to handle their produce five to
eight times to get it to the consumer,
and in many sections of the country
last summer tons of food were al
lowed to rot on the ground because
of the expense of shipment.

STATEWIDE BILL TO BE

Game Warden And Conservation
Committee Members Will Sub
NIT Measure To Legislature.
Efforts to have passed at the pres
emit session of the Legislature a bill
providing for Statewide resident
and nonresident hunting license are
now engaging the attention Of prac-
tically all the members OF the Mary
land State Game and Fish Protective
Association To show how far be-
hind Maryland happens to be in this
respect it is only necessary to
mention that all but four States in
the country have measure of that
nature in force. A bill prepared by
e. Lee LeCompte, State Game Ward
en-; Talbot Denmead and members
of the State Conservation Commits
sion will be introduced at Annapolis
within a short while, and the State
Game and Fish Protective Asso-
citation will bend every effort to see
it carried successfully through both
branches of the Legislature.
Ten years ago similar bill was
introduced at Annapolis, but it fail
ed. Maryland has for so long been
accustomed to local legislation that
it has always been very difficult to
secure any Statewide measure. This
system has especially been a curse in
the matter of game and fish legisla-
ton. In spite Of this, however, in
1910 Statewide uniform duck law
was passed and Statewide bag
limit law was placed among the
statutes Of the State. Later the
Legislature passed a Statewide uni
form open season law or upland
game. 1t is apparent, therefore
that there has been change Of feel
ing. though most gradual, but the
members of the Association behind
the new bill are most confident Of its
success.
