OveraIIs and Petticoats.

The bloomer idea is going out among
the French women employed in fac
tories. especially munition works, ac-
cording to letter from one of the in
dustrial centers over there, and return
has been made to the skirt that ever
has been the badge of femininity. Only
where working close to certain machin-
cry would make skirts dangerous have
they been discarded for boomers, or,
In most instances, overalls. What was
taken up as fad, says correspond
ent, has given way to the older and
stronger dictates of modesty. And
after work, in spite Of the fact that it
has been work amid grease and dirt
Of the exceptional sort-or perhaps
because Of it-there is recourse to the
powder puff and the other appurten-
ances Of frill that in some form or
other are synonymous with woman the
world over.

PAPER Moneys Nicknames.

Now that paper money is a perma-
nent part Of our pocket currency, we
await the inevitable nickname for the
notes, which is sure to come, says the
London Chronicle.
If we follow the precedent set across
the Atlantic in 1862, when "greenbacks"
first made their appearance, we might
be satisfied with Westminster" with
reference to the very admirable litho-
graph Of the palace which adorns the
reverse of the new notes. Something
better than that is sure to come along.
In the army the notes are known as
"C3's," in ocular allusion to the re-
markedly narrow chest which the art
list has given st. George, who is in con-
flict with very robust dragon.

The Crow,

have seen no bird walk the ground
with Just the same air the crow does.
1t is not exactly pride; there Is no
strut or swagger in it, though perhaps
lust little condescension; it is the
contented and self-possessed gait Of
a lord over his domains. All these
acres are mine, he says, and all these
crops; men pillow and SOW for me, and
1 stay here or go there, and find life
sweet and good wherever I am. The
hawk looks awkward and out of place
on the ground; the game birds hurry
and skulk but the crow is at home and
treads the earth as If there were none
to modest or make him afraid.-John
Burroughs.

MEDIATION N war
Rom:n Popes, From Earliest
Time Deemed It Privilege.
First Instance Dates From 400, Wn.h
Effort Was Made to Arrange
Peace With Goth Leader.

From the earliest time of papacy.
popes, as the religious heads Of the
Catholic church, have considered II
their task to intercede as mediators
in temporal disputes, observes his
torian. Following are few instances:
As early as 400, when AIaric l de.
clared he would withdraw from Rome
only on condition that the Romans
should arrange a peace favorable to
him, S. Innocent l went with an en-
bassy of the Romans to Emperor Hon
erius, at Ravenna to try, if possible,
to make peace with him and the Goths,
but failed in his endeavors to bring
about peace. More successful was
Gregory !, who played the same part
on the occasion Of the invasion of Italy
by the LOmbards. Owing to his friend
ship with the Lombardian queen Theu-
dulinda, he actually mediated favor
able peace. When northern Italy was
devastated by .Attila the venerable
bishop of Rome, Leo THE first of the
great pOpes-by personal encounter
with the king of the Huns, prevented
him from marching upon Rome. He
went in 452 to upper Italy, and met
Attila at Mincio, in the vicinity OF
Mantua, obtaining from him the prom
Use that he would withdraw from Italy
and negotiate peace with the emperor.
This pope also succeeded in obtaining
another favor for the inhabitants of
Rome. When in 455 the city was cap
tured by the Vandals under Geneseric,
the "scourge of Cod Leo's interces-
sion obtained promise that the city
should not be injured and the lives of
the inhabitants should be spared.
Another pope, Benedict the Twelfth,
who from 1884 to 1912 occupied the
holy see, was as unsuccessful as a
mediator as the present supreme pom
tiff. At that time Charles " of France
had died without leaving an heir, and
when his cousin, Philip VI, put the
crown on his head, his right to do so
was contested by Edward III of Eng
land. Benedict MI, who wanted to
mediate. was not listened to, and there
ensued hostilities lasting, with some
interruptions. for a hundred years.
The pOpes mediated successfully be-
tween Christian opponents in cases
where it was important to unite them
in the common cause of Christianity
against Turkey.
Pope Gregory Q271-1276), for the
sake of a crusade against the Turks,
worked indefatigably upon a recon-
citation of the princes in Italy and
Germany, and Paul III Q5341549),
nearly three centuries later, tried to
prevent a war between Spain and
France. Clement IN aided Venice
against the Turks by mediating the
peace between Louis xiv and Spain,
etc.

To CURB "U' BOATS
1Sea Jitneys" Suggested for At
tack on German Bases.
Canadian Naval AirpIane Fighter,
Home to Recover From ShraPneI
Wounds Expresses an Opinion.

Theorizing about war conditions has
grown quite as tiresOme, no doubt, to
the people who read newspapers as it
has to most Of the people who write
for them. Yet, now and then, you
meet man who theories from the
facts of experience and knowledge and
who points something out that gives
food for thought. Such a case, 1t
seemed to several of us, when quiet
little chap, son of Canadian million
aire. told us his view Of the war in
its present stage. New YORK CORE
spondent of the Cincinnati Times-Star
writes. His brother was killed at the
Marine and he himself is home to re-
cover from shrapnel wounds received
when he was flying naval airplane
some thousands of feet above town
on the Belgian coast.
"The outstanding fact, just now,"
he said "is that the German U-boats
are doing pretty nearly as much as
they were expected to do and that we
have no effective defense against them.
The Germans are almost justified in
believing that they are ON the way to-
ward starving England into suDmls-
sion, If we don't find new and sue
cessful way to combat the U-boats the
situation in England will soon be very
critical. Of course, I fancy way will
be found But it must be something
entirely new in warfare. For my part
| am convinced that success can be
obtained only by the apparently des-
perate undertaking of assaults by sea
upon the U-boat bases. l say 'appar-
emily desperate By any known or
tried method such assaults would be
simply useless and suicidal.
"The German harbors are mined,
netted from end to end and fortified
with tremendous shore batteries OF
heavy and aircraft guns. How can the
bases be attacked? Well, of course,
that will be settled by some one else
than l. but l have heard theoretical
plan of attack proposed by one OF our
naval men which made great impress
sion on me. He said we must bulld
thousands of small submarines-some-
thing like the sea jitneyS' which man
ufacturers have talked about-and go
into the German harbors with swarms
of them, at the risk of losing ninety
nine out of every hundred boats and
crews. Barrage fire and bombing have
been the new and successful things in
land fighting.
This officers proposal Is for some
thing like an undersea duplication or
this plan of attack. Most of the little
boats would be lost, no doubt, but most
of them would succeed in doing ma
terial damage with one or two torpe-
does. Nets would be blown away, mines
exploded, guard ships sunk and such
other DISCRIMINATION of the harbor de-
lenses accomplished as to give the big
ships a chance to complete the work.
Yes, it's true that a man would hardly
need to worry about his return trip
If he went in on one of these little
boats, 1t would be work for volun-
teers. But the volunteers would be
plentiful enough. That I am sure OF.
''If such attacks promised to win
the fight against the U-boats men
would be willing to go. 1t would be
enough for them to know that they
were striking the sea murderers at
their home, and that some Of them
might possibly get back"

WARNING TO
MOTORISTS

THE TIMES today is in re
ceipt Of the following warning
from the U. s. Fuel Administra-
ton regarding the wasteful
methods of handling gasoline
and oil and gives it space
There is no desire to put the
country on a fuel ration but it is
necessary that all users disoon-
tinue all wasteful uses Of fuel
oil. gasoline. kerosene and all
other oil products.
Motorists should not run
their engines when the car is not
in motion. They should avoid
overfilling tanks and see that no
oil or gasoline is spilled or al
lowed to leak. Carburetors
should be adjusted to operate on
the thinnest mixture. All un-
necessary driving should be dis
couraged.
IF sufficient gasoline and oil
cannot saved from what is
now wasted in the ways above
suggested, then such mandatory
control as will assure the guam
titles needed for the conduct of
the war will be inevitable"
