Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

PETROGRAD, Jan. 1o. (By the As sociated Press)-M. Tchernoff, elected chairman of the constituent assembly by the social reVoIutionists, declared to- day that the constituent assembly should immediately call a conference of all the entente allies to consider war aims.
 M. Tchernoff granted an interview to the correspondent during the midnight recess.
 "What do you think of the situation" he was asked.
 "Do you think the BolshivikI will dis solve the constituent assembly,"
 "No," said the chairman, 'I don't think they will do that before the con- eress of the workmen's and soldiers deputies assemblies. In the meantime they will try to find way out of their embarrassment and continue their se- cession.'
 "You desire to discuss peace first. What is your program regarding that question:"
 "Our party's position on the question of peace is that the constituent assem- bly, should immediately call a confer ence of all the entente allies to consider the aims of the war. We expect that al SuCn d tICJ WOdid SidlC clearly and most explicitly their aims and would try to harmonize them with the democratic principles of the Rus sian revolution"
 DO you think Russia can continue the war if Germany refuses peace on democratic terms?" M. Tchenoff was asked.
 He replied: "Everybody says that Russia cannot fight because of the ex- treme state of Reorganization. All know that the decision in this war will be on the western front. But Russia can act as a magnet to draw German forces and prevent their being thrown over to the western front. The Russian army may retreat, but in doing so, it will benefit the allies by diverting the Germans deeper and deeper into Rus sian territory, which would be no gain for them"

In the costume here shown the most interesting feature is the draping of the coat. Comparatively little fabric, is used, when one remembers the yards and yards that used to go into the making of draped suit in former days. But there are two little touches that give this costume all the chic of an elaborately draped suit. 7@ Firstly, the draped effect is accom- plished simply by having the lower part of the coat wrapped around like riding habit, buttoning at the side, instead of the old effect of using et great deal of material and then gath- ering it together in huge folds near the hip line. Now, the smartness of drapery lies in the sweeping lines 1t produces not in the mere folding of material
 So, in this costume, the second touch that helps it to the smart effect with less fabric is in the tcurving lines obtained by wrapping the goods around instead of letting 1t hang straight. Thus there is a straight line immediately in front, curving gracefully to the side and toward the back where the coat is considerably longer than in front. The right side, too, Is somewhat shorter than the left, but is well balanced by the in- troduction of the heavy sash.
 The material used in this costume is midnight blue duvetyne, and the sash is the same material with a graduating chenille fringe. The skirt Is quite plain, contrasting gracefully with the smartly cut coat. This coat Is cut on the cross of the goods, 90 that it can be wrapped around" the figure like a riding habit, and thus produce the effect of swinging drap- cry above described The upper part of the coat is severely plain, fln- ishing with row of navy blue horn buttons at the side. The lower part of the cleverly draped coat begins beneath the belt.
 This belt is of the same fabric as the suit-nidnight blue duvetyne- and it is finished in front with a huge oval-shaped piece of grey suede. Grey astrakan is the fur used for the large collar, which extends to the shoulders, but this is the one touch l of fur on the suit.
