What About the Fabrics?

The shops over this continent should
find joy In the fact that the French
gowns are not built Of uncommon and
difficult fabrics. What was on the
shelf last spring can be brought out
this spring and sold to the most fasti.
dious customer The drcssmakers are
not In such good luck, and therefore,
not In such high feather.
The casual observer looking over
the French display may say thar
gowns have changed so little that
women need not put their hands in
their purses.
But the dressmakers and the report
ers know that this Is not so. Paris
has changed everything sufficiently to
lure women into renewing their ward
robes. The shops should reap an
abundant harvest from this move in
Paris. The minor dressmakers should
make great deal of money. As to the
exceedingly high-prlced dressmakcrs
those who begin at two hundred and
fifty dollars for gown-they are still
nervous.
There is so much lace that we may
be dressed In II every day from four
o'clock on. The Chantilly shawl has
come back into fashion, and II is an
easy prophecy that every woman who
owns one will be trying to sell 1t be-
fore this month has turned into April.
All the colored wooens, serge, jer-
sey, Cheruit twill, gaberdlne, satin.
chiffon, and tulle are Just where they
were last year.
What Of the New suits2
The Amerh an woman has revived
her interest > coat suits. She went
on a one-piece frock debauch n year
ago and Is slowly recovering from It,
France turns out an astonishing
number of gowns that are delectable,
yet the suit Is shown more considera-
tion than has been accorded II for two
years. In America, 1t will be more
worn than In France.
The tallors should have enough to
do this spring to keep them from
financial trouble. On every side smart
women and others who are engaged In
all kinds Of Office and open-air relief
work insist that they need today a
slim coat and skirt Of wool They
know they can be patriotic enough to
keep within the four and a half yard
measurement, as the new silhouette
does not demand more.
They are eagerly accepting the fash
ion for a checked skirt and n plain
coat, for satin Zouaye jacket and n
wooden skirt. or the other way around.
A vast number are demanding suits
Of twill gaberdine and serge which are
made on severe lines, and this return
to the early American fashion Of a
mannish costume for the open afr
should be encouraged by every power
full means.
In all the suits, no matter what
the material or the choice of color or
combined colors. the skirt is narrow,
although II need not be tucked In at
the hem, and the jacket is short. II
reaches the top Of the high girdle, II
just escapes the curve of the hips. OF
1t rests on the bone Of the hips.

The many friends OF Charles D.

WILSON Avenue IS
OPENED In PARIS
WAS ONE OF MANY CEREMONIES
IN CELEBRATION OF THE
FOURTH OF JULY.

Paris.-France was aflutter with
the Stars and Stripes and American
independence Day was observed as
national fete day. The schools were
closed and all business was at a
standstill. Parades, public meetings
and various other kinds of celebra-
lions were held in all important cities
of the country. Several cities, such
as Lyons, Brest and Paris, are mani
ing avenues and squares after PreSi-
dent Wilson.
Parisians took the holiday more
gaily than any since the beginning OF
the war ALI government Offices.
banks, the Bourse and thousands of
business buildings and private houses
were decorated with the American
colors.
The music halls gave special Ameri-
can numbers and in the restaurants
American dishes predominant. The
day in the capital was becrowded
with organized public manifestations.
/. The newspapers were filed with AZ
ticles and pictures explaining the
meaning of the Fourth OF July and
expressing the admiration and graft
tude of France to America. Many Of
the greatest writer's of France have
written special articles on America
and the anniversary.
The notable event of the morning
was the ceremony opening the new
avenue named after President Wilson.
This occurred at $3.50 O'Clock in the
presence Of President Poincare and
amid the acclamations Of an immense
crowd. Speeches were delivered by
the president of the municipal coun-
ell, the president of the Senate, An
tonin Dubost: the president Of the
Chamber OF Deputies, Paul Deschanel.

eign minister, and William G. Sharpe.
the American ambassador. The speak
ers dweIt upon the significance OF tho
Intervention of America in the war
and OF the unity established among
the allies.
The procession Of troops which
marched between lines of cheering
people reached the Place Del la Con-
corde at II o'clock. Meanwhile air
planes overhead performed feats, to
the delighS of the spectators.

AMERICAN TROOPS
OVERSEAS l,Ol9,ll5
THIS MADE KNOWN BY PRESi-
DENT WILSON, WHO MADE
PUBLIC a LETTER.

Washington.-Ame troops sent
overseas numbered 1,019,115 July l.
This was made known by President
Wilson, who made public letter from
Secretary Baker, disclosing record
of achievement which the president
said must cause universal satisfac-
ton" and which will give additional
zest to our national celebration of tho
Fourth of July
The first units-noncombatant-
left American shores May 8. 1917.
General Pershing followed IL days Ia
ter and at the end of the month. l.
712 men had started for France. June
saw this number increased by 12,26l,-
and thereafter the number grew
steadily until approximately 100000
had departed when the great German
thrust began last March.
The March sailings Of 1851 were
increased in April to 117.212. May saw
another 24z,345 men embark and last
month 276,372 were sent away. max
ing total for the three months OF
637,929. This, Secretary Baker said
later, put the troop movement six
months ahead of the original pro-
gram.
Substantially 80 divisions are now
in France ready to meet whatever
move the German staff has in prepa-
ration. Some OF these divisions al
ready have been formed into the first
field army under Maj. Gen. Hunter
Liggett, others are holding trench
sectors at important points along the
battle line and still others have been
broken up and brigaded with the
French and British troops. AND so
when the German thrust comes. the
Americans will be called upon to play
no small part in meeting 1t.
Secretary Baker wrote the presi-
dent that thee supplies ana equipment
In France for the 100000 men who
have gone is shown by late& reports
to be adequate and added that "the
output of our war industries in this
country is showing marked improve
ment In practically all lines of nee
essary equipment and supply

DIPLOMATS DISCUSS
RUSSIAN SITUATION
WASHINGTON AND ENTENTE
REPRESENTATIVES Elk
CHANGE IDEAS.
CONCLUSION MAY BE SOON
Details OF Plans For Peaceful Move
ment Worked Out and Personnel of
Delegates Shortly To Be Announe-
ed-Washineton Annoyed.

Washington. - Russia continues TO
be the subject of earnest considera-
ton by the administration, and it is
understood there are almost daily ex-
changes of opinion between Washing
ton and the entente capitals througR
their respective embassies here, and
through other channels of less Off
cial character.
The United States government has
regarded the proposition, strongly
urged by some of the entente powers,
for the dispatch to Siberia of an in
teInational army in which America
shou abe largely represented as q
purely military problem. Consequent
ly. it is understood now that the dc,
cision virtually rests with Gen. Focn
and the supreme war council, and 1t
is regarded as probable that a deci-
sion may be announced soon.
Meanwhile, as part of the general
project for relief to Russia, details of
the plan for the peaceful penetration
of Russia and Siberia by prominent
American business men with the pur-
pose of affording economic and mate
rial aid to the people are now beins
worked out, and announcement of the
personnel OF the men to go is expect
ed in the near future.
Great delay is being encountered m
securing reliable official information
regarding the condition of the Arctic
province of Archangel, which is PAT
ticularly exasperating to the Officials
because of the unofficial reports that
reach Washington of the hostile atti-
tude of the Firms, said to be reinforc.
ed by German soldiers. 1t is realized
that q considerable Finnish German
force could easily seize strategic
points on the railroad running south
from Archangel and Kola to Volog-
da, and, indeed, it is said that al
ready the invaders have arrived at
Kim, an important town on this road
near the southern end of the White
Sea.
A successful movement of this kind
might defeat any entente plan to send
a military force into Central Russia
from the north. Although as long as
the entente feet is able to navigate
in the Arctic the little force of sailors
and marines at Kola and vicinity viii
