| New York.-A woman who has returned from Paris insists that millinery crea- 1 tiveness over there reached it's high ! est pinnacle last month.
 She had nothing to say concernins other clothes. Of gowns, suits and wraps she was not ignorant and she thought that the work in this line had been inn mensely well done, but her wild enthus- | iasm was given to the millinery. l She explained that the high-water mark | of French ingenuity in headgear this season was due to the fashion for wear l ing hats in the evening. It is a war time fashion that has gained followers | wherever people elect to go out through of public entertainment.
 France opened up both opera houses this winter. a dozen theatres and hun dreds of movies, in which are staged brilliant plays acted by famous men and women and costumed by such masters as Poiret. Everybody went to these places of entertainment and they wore hats. Also, the Cafe De Paris, the Ritz, Ciro's and a large number of other smart restaurants began their old time gaiety (without music or dancing, it is true), and for these af- fairs women needed hats.
 THE RESTAURANT HAT The smart American women know that this fashion was In full bloom in France, but 1t did not make a strong or general impression on In the mass our smart women are too Anglo Saxon to like hats after o'clock. We are a nation of suburbanites, and there has always been strong distinction be- tween the women who are compelled to go to the theatres in the evening in street clothes and those who can go in the clothes worn at dinner party.
 The dinner party women make this line of demarcation very strong, and, therefore, it has been difficult for the milliners to persuade them to put on evening hats.
 As rule in our great centers, we dine at restaurant in order to go to a. play Outside of this, we dine at private houses or we consider the play as a high order of social entertain~ ment
 Tn France it is different. The smart women there are rarely to be seen at the theatre, except on the opening night The playhouses are arranged in a series of loges, and the orchestra is often left to men or those who do not dress. Therefore, the French woman wears superb hat, for it does not obstruct any ones view, sitting, as she does, in loge of her own. Our women must remove their hats and that is too much trou- ble for anyone to contemplate with se- renity.
 HATS OF SILVER GAUZE
 When the French milliners began to in- vent scores of restaurant and theatre hats they immediately went to the east for much of their inspiration. They brought into fashion a Sultanic urban that they once adopted from the stage of the Russian ballet. It was made of silver or golden gauge
 Today they have moderated it bit for. the American trade and their own spring usage It looks something like a brim- less hat, trimmed as it is, at the edges and minus that we'll known bias fold. ing in the front which supports huge colored ornament
 The sketch shows one of these tur- bans, made of silver gauge with little mercury wings of black at each side.

GOVERNORS URGE
DRASTIC ACTION

WASHINGTON, April 4-State gov
ernors meeting here today with mem
bers of the council of National Defense
urged drastic action to stamp out dis
loyalty and to curb the German Ian
guage press. The advocated measures
to prevent preaching in German and
the teaching of German in elementary
schools.
Secretary Daniels, Who presided as
head of the council t. .eply asked the
governors to formula .e solutions sup
porting the bill drafted by attorney
general Gregory to reach spies, trait
ors and disloyal persons. The resolu-
tions committee of the governors met
later at Secretary Lanes office.
When full Americanization has been
accomplished, Secretary Daniels said,
not only will every American be mob
ilized for war but I'VE will put the fear
of God into the hearts of those who
live among us and fatten upon us and
are not Americans"

the spirit and confidence that cannot
be downed. But at the same time 1t
is generally conceded that the value
of this American force to General
Foch would not be SO great in purely
trench warfare or in a campaign OF de-
fense. The American, it is explained
from General Pershing down, would be
far more dangerous to the Germans in
more or less open fighting and 1t is
generally conceded that the Americans
at least at the beginning, would be bet
ter at the attack than in defence.
AS one general officer at the war
department recently explained, trench
warfare or defensive warfare aiming
to check advancing troops, is more of
a mechanical science than the brand
of warfare which permits the personal

FATHER and son
FACING CHARGES
OF D!SlOYALTY
Three Affidavits Are Filed
Against James Kuth and
Son of New Paris, 0.

NEW PARIS, O., April 4.-Three af-
fidavits have been filed with the de-
partment of justice against James
kuth, local grocer, and his son, Geo.
Kuth. charging disloyalty The affi-
davits set forth the following allega-
tions:
That James Kuth has been selling
| -four in his store without, at the same
| time, selling substitutes as required
by law; that his son, George Kuth, is
boarding sugar.
1t is alleged that young Kuth told
New Paris citizen he had 25 pounds
of sugar at his home. The citizen met
him. it is declared, carrying $1.00
worth of sugar, at which time the re-
mark was made The meeting oc-
cured on the street between young
Kuth's home and his fathers grocery
store. Citizens are Of the opinion that
he had been buying the sugar from his
father All of the afidavits are signed
and sworn to by prominent citizens
and business men of New Paris.
The elder Kuth is of German pa
rentage, though he himself was born
and reared in this country near New
Paris. He has been in the grocery
business in New Paris for some years,
and since the United States declared
war on German autocracy he is said
to have shown himself a disloyal cit
iZen in many respects.
Against CONSUMPTION.
According to reliable information
obtained from New Paris citizens,
Kuth has been bitter in his remarks
against conscription. His wife, it is
rumored, has slandered the Red Cross
society, and ridiculed the work this
organization has been doing in the
carrying on of the war
At a recent Red Cross meeting in
New Paris it was told that Mrs. kuth
had been asked if she would attend
the meeting and help in the work.
well, | should say mott" is the re-
ply Mrs. Kuth is said to have made to
the question The women who have
been carrying on the patriotic work
in New Paris were considerably
aroused over the remark
When it was first learned that kuth
was supposed to be selling flour With
out substitutes, contrary to orders Is
sued by the Federal Food administra-
ton, some of the New Paris citizens
considered it their patriotic duty to
put him to the test. Two men were
sent to his store where they are said
to have purchased -four and were not
even asked to buy the requisite sub
stitute. On the strength of this the
affidavits against him We're sworn out
and sent to the department Of justice
with the third affidavit against his
son.

by speeding up troop shipments
abroad.
Encouraging news is forthcoming re-
specting the availability Of ships for
the new efforts to increase troop ship
ments. 1t is pointed out that the &C
QUESTION of almost 100000 tons OF
Dutch shipping, the communicating OF
neutral ships, the beginning of del1v-
cries by the United States shipping
board, etc. all have contributed to
make the problem of getting ships
much less acute than generally real
lied. The present plan is to use as
many ships as possible for troops with
out passing the extreme limit OF the
minimum of tonnage needed to trans
port food. There is now, it is explain
ed, a considerable quantity of food at
the eastern terminals in the United
States ready for shipment, and this
must be taken care of.
In connection with the plan to get
troops to Europe from the United
States at the earliest possible moment
It is possible that considerable num-
ber of the Americans now in training
may be sent to Great Britain to COM
plete their training and at the same
time relieve an equivalent number of
British troops for the battle front In
France.

BELIEVE HUN AGENTS AT
WORK IN WAYNE COUNTY

That German agents vino will stop
at no crime to accomplish their pur-
pose, may be at work in Wayne coun-
ty, is the belief of the county council
of defense following the receipt of a
message Thursday morning in which
it was stated that cattle have been
poisoned on farms near Milton.
r. w Warren. a farmer near Milton
reported to the chairman of the Wayne
county council that five of his one
year old heifers have died within the
last few days, and that the state vet
erinary surgeon has examined all, pro
nouncing poison as the cause of death.
All of the heifers recently developed
alarming symptoms of sickness. the
attacks coming suddenly, followed by
commissions with death resulting. The
five heifers were part of a large herd
and as none of the other cattle were
effected in this manner officials are
mystified as to the manner in which
the poison might have been admin
istered.
J. L. Manlove, who owns farm ad-
joining MIR. Warren's, reported one Of
his heifers sick from the same cause.
None of his other cattle have as yet
displayed symptoms of sickness.
In view of these facts the chairman
of the Wayne county council of de-
tense issues a warning to all farmers
in the county regarding strangers who
may be seen in their locality.

the American troops, who are best

ment for open warfare, will be of the
greatest value in the attack. When
