some arrangement is made to take care

that will be done the proper conduct OF
the city's affairs by their withdrawal
they will be done serious injustice.
Due to some misunderstanding the for
mer Administration announced to the
members Of the Police Department that
they would not be subject to dram. and
that the Government considered men,
bcrs of the force could do better work
policing this city than they could by
serving in the army.
Lost Chances for Comm isvions.
TN keeping with the spirit of this idea
no leaves OF absence were granted and
ultimately, when the situation developed
further. many able members Of this de-
partment were compelled to go into the
army as privates who might have re-
ceived commissions had they been ac-
corded the same privileges as civilians
Consequently. unless It Is possible to
avoid drafting the members OF the de-
partment entirely In the future. some
provision should be made looking toward
securing commissions for the sergeants
and Lieutenants who will be brought into
the army under this new regulation.
THE argument has been advanced
that II the New York city Police De.
partment received any special Legislative
consideration in the matter of exempt
ing It's members from the draft every
other city could reasonably expect to re.
ceive similar concession.
There is no comparison between New
York and any other city in this country

best protection her own carefully trained

General said, will be most welcome in
Bolivia, where the sentiment is almost
wholly for the Allies. l am particularly
glad to learn that the Americans have
displayed such gal!antry and skill in

country was the first South American
republic to sever relations with Ger
many, but he begged to be excused
commenting further on that theme, re-
marking that It might not be regarded
as diplomatic.
Gen. Montes's friends said he had

for the policies OF President Wilson and
the Generals own belief in the rights
of little nations. which he ardently be-

Wearing Colors
Keeps Up Morale

New york.-It Is the hour to talk
colors and fabrics. We have been,
given comprehensive outline of what
to expect-in the new fashions, and we
have made up our minds to accept or
reject, as we choose, observes prom
inent fashion authority.
The details Of autumn clothes have
been digested by us. The long skirt,
the continuance of sashes, the growing
Importance of collars and cuffs, and
the rellnqnishing Of the attempt TO
make stiff high collars fashionable
have filed us with the assurance that
we know enough to make start.
Women are divided In opinion as to
the wisdom of introducing long skirt
at this hour. They also question the
extreme decolletage that has been
adopted for the daytime hours. They
protest rather violently against the ef-
fort to continue short sleeves in the
fashion.
They found their objections on sound
basic principles. They insist that war
activities are hampered by long skirts;
that deep decolletage In the daytime
does not look businesslike, and that
short sleeves are an absurd fashion
at n time when one must pay three
