WOLFE DRESSES ARE FAVORED
Fabric Of More Substance and Lasting
Quality Brings This Material to
the Forefront.

Next in favor to the organizes come
the new wolfe dresses. There is a.
tendency at this season to employ fab
RIGS Of q little more substance and LAST
ing quality, and for this reason II for
no other we begin to see great num-
Der Of wolfe and georgette froeks. A
good wolfe dress much admired brings,
out several of the latest notions-the
modified medici collar, the sleeveless
moyen age blouse and the side panels
of contrasting colors.
As the body Of the dress is OF white
voile, blue is used for contrast and
develops the features just mentioned.
The medici collar on this frock is
really more reminiscent Of that high
flaring fashion than actually the thing
itself, as 1t is a narrow strip only,
rolling, however, high up at the back,
OF the peck to finish in that line so
becoming to most women and without
which often the handsomest robes
seem incomplete. 1t is of alternating
strips Of the blue and the white wolfe
and ornamented with French knots,
blue on the white and, for contrast,
white on the blue, and it becomes the
merest point in front where 1t rolls
away from the throat.

"REnEMprIoNr COMING.

? OnfF Friday, and Saturday comes Eve
lyn Nesbitt Thaw,5 wife of Harry
Thaw, and her son, Russell, in ere
demption," a film that has packed the
big theatres in the leading cities of
the country. It is an echo of one Of
the most spectacular tragedies Of a
decade when her husband, son Of
wealth, murdered prominent New
Yorker, also man of wealth, during
an evening on fashionable New
York roof garden. The Thaw mil
lions were used to keep him out of
prison and he was sent to an asylum
from which he escaped by bribery. j
The story Is an intensely dramatic
one influenced to great extent by
facts. The stars past life is vaguely
suggested, and in the character she
purtrays, that of a woman who seeks
to justify a, mis-step made in her
youth, Miss Nesbit fulfills its purpose
with heart-appealing conviction.
The love of her son is made the
keynote of this remarkable photo
drama, andaat its climax the Record
ing Angel who balances the book Of
,lifesgives to mother love the great re-
'wardscf redemption. "

hatters' plush or panne velvet, and
satin antique combined with hatters'

The trimmings for tailored hats for
the new season include wings, quilts,
burnt ostrich fancies, ribbon or vel

HAVE LITTLE TIME
TO HAVE DEBATES
French Deputies Remain In
LObbies for Latest News
From the Front

Paris, March 27.-Few of the depu-
ties listened to the debate in the Cham
Der of Deputies Most of them re-
NAMED in the Hobbies, commenting on
the latest official communication.
Henry Franklin-B ouillon, president OF
the foreign affairs committee. said
that although the situation was seri-
Gus it should be regarded with seren-
ity. He pointed out that the French
army is intact
This is but minute part of our
army" he added. Not even 10 divi-
sions have participated in the battle :
Edouard Ignace, under secretary for
military justice, confirmed these
words. Leon Abrami, under secretary
for pensions, summed up the situa-
ton thus:
After hard combats with the Brit
ish troops the Germans are about TO
meet the shock of powerful French
army, perfectly fresh. animated by q
spirit Of sacrifice and protected by a
curtain of artillery fire such as it is
difficult to conceive of.
Furthermore, formidable British re-
serves of maneuver are arriving on
the battlefield so that the enemy's
gains of ground can be but epheme-
real"
NJ Abrams allusion to the British
troops and probably to the French
which are being thrown In doubtless
refer to forces from the allied army
war council at Versailles The troops
were held back until the Germans had
definitely committed themselves to the
offensive now under way.

MUST SALUTE WELL
AND WATCH DRESS
Sloyeliness Cannot Be Tolerated, Ac-
c0rding to War Memorandum
to Division Commanders

Washington, March 27.-The "sloven-
ly, Indifferent salute and the lack OF
uniformity in dress and equipment" are
two weaknesses in American soldiers
training, officers of the inspector gen.
erals department and French and
British military advisers have informed
the war department. Calling the at
tention of division commanders to this
criticism department memorandum
today said:
Commanders of all grades are here
by enjoined to make instruction in sa-
luting fixed part of their drills un-
til every officer enlisted man and or
ganization can with gertrude be pro-
nounced proficient in salutes. This
part of the soldiers training must be
considered vital instead of casual.
"All commanders are further en-
Joined to vigorously suppress all SLOW
enliness of personal dress. Uniformity
of dress throughout a command is abb
solutely essential to discipline and
must be kept constantly in mind at
all times"

WOULD-BE RAIDER
BROUGHT into PORT
Others Are Being Fitted
Out In Mexico for
Work In Pacific

A Pacific Port, March 27.-Nine prison.
ers of war, two of them women, arrived
here today aboard a United States war
ship, which had in tow the auxiliary
schooner Alexander Agassiz, Quilted by
Germans as raider of the seas
The Agassiz was captured week ago
Off the coast of Mexico
Government officials said they had in
formation to the effect that seven Ger
mans who embarked on the would-be
raider at Mazatlan, Mexico, had orders
from the German consul there to seize
any ship they could and then to pro-
coed to the South Seas for raiding aetivi-
ties against commerce of the allies.
Representatives of the government also
said that they had information indicat-
ing that similar raiding parties were be-
ing organized in west coast Mexican
ports, each designed to put to sea in a
small craft with the hope of seizing a
larger vessel to be developed into a
privateer.
One of the women aboard the warship
arriving today is Miss Maude Lochren,
who, according to government agents.
says she is the owner of the Agassiz.
Authorities believe she had the vessel in
Mexican waters for legitimate purposes
and that the Germans imposed upon her
confidence while taking advantage of
her financial necessities.

mo WHEAT BOARDING
WILL BE TOLERATED
UNDER NEW ORDERS
Drastic Measures Are Be-
ing Planned to Meet
Critical Food Situa-
ton of Allies

Washington, March 27.-Information
that the bread ration of the French SOL
diers, who are facing the onslaught of
Germany's armies, has been cut because
of the shortage of wheat, has led the
food administration to plan drastic
measures to curb boarding in this coun-
try.
Wherever there is evidence to support a
suspicion that the Withholding of food
on which may depend the outcome of the
war is due to disloyalty or profiteering
it was tonight announced prompt action
will be taken.
State administrators have been re-
minded that the food law authorizes
the requisitioning of grain in the nation
al emergency and have been asked to
be diligent in their investigation of
cases of alleged boarding. They will for
ward the evidence obtained to Washing
ton. where steps will be taken as the
individual cases warrant.
Wheat for the allies becomes more inn
perative as the season progresses, be-
cause of the danger of loss in shipping
corn or potatoes after April l, when the
period of terminating sets in. Up to
March Is the United States was 10000
tons behind in its programme of cereal
export. Much of the programme was to
have been corn, but the breakdown in
railroad transportation delayed shipment
so that wheat; which earlier in the year
had been given priority, had to be sent
abroad to avert famine.
AS only wheat and barley can be
shipped after April ], the public is be-
ing asked to cut it's consumption of
wheat tc 50 per cent of normal and even
that sacrifice barely will stretch sup
plies to meet demand. unless every
bushel held on farms and in warehouses
is put on the market.

KAISER QUARRELS
WITH LUDENDORF
"Are You Or Am | Emperor of Ger
many?" Demanded the
War Lord

Paris, March 27.-Emperor William
and General Won Ludendorff had vio-
lent quarrel before the beginning of
the great attack on the western front,
according to a prominent Swiss who
has just returned to Zurich after some
weeks in Germany and has been in
terviewed by the correspondent of the
Temps. This man is quoted as say
ing:
There was much discreet talk in
Berlin before the present offensive
concerning extremely violent scenes
between Germs ny's leaders at general
Headquarters, General Won Ludendorff
spoke so violently and authoritatively
that the Emperor becoming very pale,
arose from his chair and pounding the
table, demanded:
General, are you, or am /. emperor
of Germany?
General Won Ludendorff replied that
he was only a soldier and more than
any one else desired peace He said he
was convinced that his plans for an
offensive were capable of bringing 1t
about"
