BAKERS REVIEW SAYS GERMANS
TRAIN INTENSlVELY FOR
MOBILE WARFARE.
FRENCH win IN RAIDS
ARABS JOIN SHEIK OF MECCA
FORCES, COOPERATING WITH
THE BRITISH.

Washington, Feb. 21.-After exten-
sive preparations, silently and system
atically carried on, it is apparent that
both the Germans and the allies are
ready for the long-expected offensive
in the west, Secretary Baker says in
his weekly review of military opera
tions, for the week ended Feb. 16.
According to advices received, the
German general staff hopes that by
massing a large number of these
picked shock battalions which have
been intensively trained, they may de-
liver a crushing blow.
THE bulk of the German forces now
are assembled in the west. But large
number of these units are wholly un-
trained in the method of western front
warfare, which differs radically from
that conducted along other fronts.
Furthermore, the German higher COM
mand realizes fully that their forces
will meet with far more difficult tao
tical obstacles than any hitherto en-
countered by an attacking army.
break through was possible in Russia
only after the morale of the Russians
had been undermined; the same was
true in Italy and we witnessed how
speedily the Italian line was mended
During the week there has been
much activity of minor character
along the entire western front.
LAS has already been announced, in
Lorraine a segment of the line is en-
tirely under the control of our forces.
Several successful raids were un-
dertaken by French detachments in
the vicinity of the Chemin des Danes,
east of Rheims in upper Alsace and
elsewhere. In all the French drove
forward twelve very fortunate recon-
noissance undertakings along different
parts of the line.
at is important to record that
large contingents of Arabs are joining
the forces of the Sheik of Mecca, who
is cooperating with the British.
THE Arabs have defeated the Turks
in two encounters, occupied Ell MAJ
reh, southeast of the Dead sea and are
advancing along the Hedjaz railway
towards Maan."

10000 Chinese at Front by June.

New York.-Forty thousand Chinese
engineers comprising forty battalions,
will be at the front in France by June,
said Lieut.. Col. Tang Tche, of the
Chinese army's general staff, when
speaking of what may be expected
from China in the war. Possible
transportation difficulties may delay
the arrival of the engineers, he added.
He said 10000 Chinese civilians now
are employed in French munition fac
tories and 100000 in road construction

Petrograd.-Guerilla warfare is to
be Russia's method of opposing Ger
many should that nation invade Rus
sia further, according to intimattons
from Bolshevik sources. In an address
to the central executive committee of
the Council of Soldiers and Work
mems delegates, Leon Trotzky, the
Bolshevik foreign minister said: I'VE
are not followers of Tolstoi We do
not say we will not resist German in
vasion." Trotzky proceeded TO out
line a plan by which the Socialistic
army would conduct a bushwhacking
campaign, hampering the efforts of
the Germans should they endeavor to
conduct commerce along the border.
Leon Trotzky, Bolshevik foreign
minister, in his report upon the break
ing off of negotiations at the Brest-
Litovsk peace conference, says the
German terms included the retention
of Poland, Riga, Lithuania, Moon is
land and indemnity of $4,000,0OO,o
II is pointed out that the proposed
treaty is in direct violation not only
of all peace principles laid down by
the entente spokesmen and President
Wilson, but of the often-quoted Teu-
tonic declaration of mo annexations
and no indemnities."
The Russian Bolshevik government
has capitulated and announced its
readiness, although protestingly. to
sign a peace compact under the hard
terms imposed by Germany.
Notwithstanding this fact Teutonic
troops are advancing eastward into
Russia over a front of 400 miles. Ap-
parently, thus far the operation has
met with no opposition. The north
ern reaches of the Dvina river have
been crossed by the enemy the i'm
portant railroad town of Dvinsk.
whence the roads run northeastward
to Petrograd and eastward to Smol-
ensk, has been captured, and Lutsk,
one of the famous fortresses of the
Volhynian triangle and forming the
gateway leading eastward to Kiev, has
been entered without the Russians at
tempting to stay the foe.
The official announcement of the
capitulation was signed by Nikolai Le-
nine and Leon Trotzky on behalf of
the peoples commissaries of Russia
1t protests against Germany attacking
a country which has declared the war
at an end and which is demobilizing
its armies on all fronts.
The only indication that the enemy
will meet with hindrance comes in an
announcement by Ensign Krylenko,
Bolshevik commander in chief In his
order he instructs the Russians when
they encounter German troops to en-
deavor to persuade them to refrain
from hostilities. "If the Germans re-
fuse" he adds. "then you must offer
them every possible resistance"

GRAY MATTER AND CLOTHES
How Smart Girl Copied Hat She Saw in Shop Window, Making a
 Most Clever Reproduction.

Read about these two clever things that one girl did whose allowance for clothes was nothing what 1t should have been. which only goes to prove that pocketbooks don't always make smart clothes and that gray matter has lot to do with it. She saw n hat she liked In smart shop window. II was a tricorn, with the most adorable trimming cockades on each of the three sides. But she couldn't afford 1t. How ever, she went straightway and bought a plain silk tricorn and then proceed ed to copy those fetching little cock ades. She painted wooden button mold with some gilt paint, then covered 1t with some dainty figured chiffon. The result was that of an enameled ornament. She then used some long yellow and black beads, which she had on hand, and arranged them around the button as spokes in wheel, backing the whole thing with plating of the folded chiffon.
 This same girl did wonders to a plain blue chiffon blouse designed to be worn with dark blue suit, but not quite dressy enough as it stood when bought.

cowns Suitable for All Occasions
 and All Ages.
..,v Be Relieved by Use of Colored Lining and Touches of Jet
 and Metallic Lace.

With the spring season almost upon us nearly every woman will have need of smart new evening gown. Some thing simple and dignified Is looked for in these days of economy, says a fashion authority, and women gladly mass LID the frivolous frocks of more nrosperous days. Black is tremendous lv popular for evening wear but it Is usually frightened by quantities of fine jet or metallic lace.
 One of the loveliest black evening gowns Is made of black tulle over soft satin. If you have black satin or charmeuse afternoon frOck, the waist of which Is worn, you can use that to great advantage. If the skirt Is rather narrow, use 1t as the foundation.
 First make plain drop skirt of black net over the satin, reaching down to the hem. A narrow band of jet sewed to the net will give it weight and make 1t hang well. A tunic with four points, also bordered with jet. goes over the net skirt and falls q little longer than usual.
 This tunic can be elaborately en- broidered in jet beads, or you can buy black net that Is already embroidered. However, 1t Is not difficult to do one self, and If white tissue paper Is held under the net, 1t will not be so hard or the eyes. Later, carefully rip the paper away.
 The bodice of the gown should be extremely simple. Make plain dart

The short, wired peplum Is again sponsored by Lucille. An exquisite eve ming gown presented at the opening was made of silver cloth, pink pearls and sequins and pale pink tulle. The tulle was wired Into an extremely short peplum, below which hung the draping of pearls and sequins. Delicate shades of green, mauve and orchid satin were combined in the bodice. and at the waistline there was tiny bunch of handmade ribbon flowers, the edges of which were hemstitched and pecoed with silver thread.

Sailor Hat of Rouah Straw.

Of course the nature and purpose of sports hat demand that 1t shall be serviceable as possible. A new sailor is in mushroom shape of rough straw and fits well down over the eyes like q child's hat.

 An interesting note could be given this gown by a corsage bouquet of gay colors. A rich red poinsettia would be striking at the belt, especially when worn by brunette. The girl with the auburn hair should select a few orchids (artificial If necessary to wear with her black dance frock.
 For those who find all black too in- tense, try black tulle or lace over a slip of fiesh-colored satin. Finish the bottom with a deep flounce of silver lace and have a black tulle drop skirt.
 Silver embroidery should trim the tunic of this style gown and silver banding used at the shoulders. This makes a lovely dance frock for the young girl, and one of which she does not easily tire.
 Black evening gowns are well suited to all ages and occasions. from the elderly matron with snowy locks to the golden-haired debutante.
