DRESS AND SUGGESTIONS
 ANNE 4.lsasnop.r FOR WOMEN
The garment known as the blouse jacket has come into a strong meas ure of popularity, worn in the house or on the street.

! New York, January 3.-The struggle | that tried to bring in the waist line end ed in failure. It is difficult to com
 pei woman to adopt fashion that is
 not in accord with her corsets, her gen. formation of her figure.
 There is very little doubt in the minds of those who study the relation between clothes and human anatomy that 2 wei defined waist line in 2 r0al shor 4 cor respond to t''e anne tairIe 'f as fsurc and t4 iraefits 1f vauen cten whan tey a gedaaed 70 sse iatenny of a piaukea alad no. especially care fu ahsa, foaintaining a small waist. u is possible that the campaign for the gown with the sharp waist line failed as a popular fashion because it took an old-fashioned figure to make it appear at it's best. There are women who cling to the curve in at the waist line, and they resort to all kinds of trickery to give the behoder belief that na- ture has not put any layers of flesh upon this particular part of the figure, but the average woman, be she thin or stout, is apt to allow her figure to main- tain as much straightness as it desires between the bust and the hips.
 THE LOOSE SASH
 Nature and the dressmaker have com bined in new kind of waist line which gives grace and conforms more to what the average woman can accept. There is loose sash or a broad, wrinkled girdle and often the waist is wrapped twice with the material, With a knot or bow at the back or the left side.
 Tall women as well as short ones can adopt this kind of girdle without detri- ment to the length of the line from neck to ankle, and it allows one to produce something of dignified attitude in dress as opposed to the loose smocks of artists and French peasants
 Out of this theory of dress, there has come the immense popularity of the out side blouse with it's loose wrAppings of colored satin or silk in the way of 9 glrdle. and also the blouse jacket which has been worked out in peltry in a manner that reflects credit on the fur riers.

IF for any reason whatever we fall
short Of victory-and there is no

defeat-what happens to us? This:
Every relation, every understand
ing, every decency upon which ciVili-
cation has been so anxiously built up

Ii will have been proved unable to

racy-which at bottom is what the
Hun fights against-will be dismissed
from mems minds. because 1t will
have been shown incapable OF main
tanning itself against the Hun. It
win die: and Ii will die discredited,
together with every belief and prac-
tice. that Is based on Ii.
'The Hun ideaa, the Huns root

throughout the world. Under that
dispensation man will become once

Women will be the mere instrument

labor will become a thing to be
knocked on the head il it dares to

life there will be no appeal, no possi-

the Hun means when he says he in

TRANSPORTATION

Is SPEEDED UP
Extent of Increased Troop
Movement to France
Not Made Public
- AssoeIatad Preaa.1

Washington, April -Transporta-
ton OF American troops to France al
ready is proceeding at the accelerated
rate contemplated BY the speeding up
measures taken after the battle OF
Picardy began. Acting Secretary
Crowell made this statement yester
day, but would give no details.
For military reasons the extent OF
the increased troop movement has
not been made public.
Following the conferences between
Secretary Baker and allied officials.
orders were given under which a
British official statement was issued,
saying that American forces were to
be brigaded with British troops in
order to hasten American participa-
ton in the war. Of1cials explained
yesterday that the process to be fol-
lowed was similar to that adopted In
placing American troops i'm the front
lines with the French for training.
1t has been estimated that thirty
days training of this character with
American battalion units assigned
with the British organizations, Will
mt the newcomers for active DUTY Al
the front. All divisions now moved
from this side are composed OF men
preliminary training and who need
only final instruction to take their
full share in the fighting.
The training process will be quick
er with the British than with the
French, II is believed, because the
language difflculty does not exist.
American units will find every Brit
ish veteran an instructor and there
will be no need for interpreters.
1t was indicated that the new plans
call for a more extensive training
scheme. with the British army than
has been the case with General
PershinEs original force. There
probably will be no attempt to set up
a purely American force within the
British ranks, as has been done With
the French.
The Americans are to be with
drawn when trained and turned over
to General Pershing as a part Of his
army. They will share fully with
their British comrades the battles on
their front and the belief here is that
they will not be withdrawn as long
as there is pressing need for their
service with the British lines.
