.BLOOMERS PRAISED
 BY RAILWAY HEAD
TRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire]

NEW YORK, Feb. 2. - Thedore P. Shonts, president of the company that runs most of New York city's car lines, having decreed some time ago that the "conductorettes, recently employed to replace men, should wear bloomers as a part of their uniform, now comes forward to defend the costume against the criticism that it is immodest.
 In a letter to critics he made public night, the railway president says:
 Compared with the distorted figure of the days of tight lacing, the un slightly hustle, the unwieldlg hoopskirt and tantalette, as well as the present what shall I say-near waistless party or theater gown, cross saddle riding habit, the average summer re- sort bathing suit, the peek-a-boo waist, the short street skirt, with it's far short of reaching to the top of the shoes, 1 repeat as compared with this, I prefer the neat business-like uniforms of our conductorettes, with it's knee length semi military coat. closely but toned collar, easy fitting boomers and puttee covered legs, splendid example of a modest, practical utility dress.
 If, in favor of common sense and patriotism, women have courage to sweep aside hide-bound conventions that they may be better to do their bit, why should we attempt to handicap them with false notions of modesty about dress"

General March May Be New Chief of Staff to See If Accelerator Cannot Be
 Worked on War Motor
Republican A.P. Leased wirel

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2-Major Cen eral Peyton c. March is slated to be- come acting chief of staff of the army If General Pershing can spare him from his present duties as chief of the eX- peditionary forces. No reply has been received as yet from General Pershing.
 The selection of General March means that Major General Bliss, chief Of staff, is to remain permanently in Europe as the American military rep resentative at the supreme war council now sitting in France. It is expected that General March wSl undertake his new duties in the near future.
 The permanent assignment of Gen eral Bliss to the war council may re- suit in a request to congress for au- thority to appoint an additional gen eral. As General March will be in fact head of the army, it is regarded as probable that he will be given both the rank and title of chief of staff later, General Bliss being continued in simi- lar rank, but relieved as chief of staff to permit him to devote himself ex- clusiYely to his work abroad.
 General March is 53 years of age and was born in Pennsylvania, from which state he went to the military academy He has been attached to the artillery branch continuously with the exception Of duty as major and later as lieuten- ant colonel of volunteer infantry in 1ss9-1901, for Philippine service. Gen. eral March commanded the Astor Bat tery in the Spanish American war. He graduated from the artillery school with high marks in 1898 and served on the general staff from 1903 to 1904 During the Russo-Japanese war he was military observer for the United States army with the Japanese troops
 Speeding up of general staff activities Is expected to follow the appointment of General March as acting chief of staff of the army. announcement of which depends only on advices from General Pershing that the officer can be spared from his duties as chief of artillery of the eXpeditionary forces.
 Secretary Baker would not discuss his plans today, but it is known that he has determined upon General March as the most suitable officer to take over the work of this important post. General Bliss, the staff chief, will re- main in France as the permanent rep resentative of the United States on the supreme war council, which determines policies to be carried out on the var ious fronts.

 OF THE DAY

authorities

Germany's workers are still in a rest less mood and although the strike movement appears to be on the wane, largely through the adoption of drastic measures by the authorities. there are threats of further demonstrations and a continuation of sporadic disorders.
 Berlin and it's environs remain the center of the disturbance. The city IS under military control. Factories where strikes are in progress have been mill itarized, say the dispatches, and the workers waned to report for work by Monday morning or undergo military discipline.
 Countries contiguous to Germany are threatened with labor troubles. Holland is preparing to cope with a general strike to be called in Amsterdam on Monday and a cloud of difficulties with the industrial elements appears to be hanging over Switzerland.
 Developments in connection with the Brest-Litovk peace negotiations were virtually nil. It is revealed, however, that the Germans are determined to keep Bolshevik agitators out of Poland, permission having been refused Rus sian delegates to Brest- -Litovsk to visit Warsaw. A request for the repatri- ation of Polish troops in the Russian army has been denied.
 In the Ukraine, the Bolsheviki seem to have gained the ascendary through their capture of Kiev, insuring the au- thority of the Bolshevik rada. A rev. olutionary government is. reported to have been set up by the victors.
 Russian Bolshevik forces and the Finnish militia are reported to be fighting near Kerava. The Finnish white guard is said to have gained control over the northern section of Finland. Achievements sent by the Petrograd government have arrived at Viborg.
 In France military activity for the most part has been confined to raids by all patrols. On the sector of the French front occupied by American troops intermittent artillery firing has been in progress. An advance of only SO yards separate the American and German trenches at some points. | 'Pnmova sw-l

At the same time the body of their slayer will be deposited in the patters field, while the mother of the children is confined to the county hos pital with a bullet wound which may prove fatal.

The first convention of Russian cit izens in the United States assembled at Beethoven Hall, New York, pro- tests against the unjust sentence passed on the Russian citizens, Emma Goldman, Alexander Berkman and Becker and Cramer and demands their immediate release and permis- sion to return to Russia"
 Several delegates objected to the abrupt wording of the telegram to the president, asserting that more diplomatic and tactful' language should have been used. The discus sion was brought to an end, how ever, when the secretary announced that the telegram already had been sent.
 A bolsheviki delegate, who refused to give his name, gained the floor for a plea in behalf of some l. w. W. delegates present. He said there were four or five of these who had come without sufficient funds to pay the s25 initiation fee to the conven- tion. He moved at least two be seated with "all the rights of par ticipation." This was violently op- posed by the Menshevik delegates, one of whom declared he was "a | little bit ashamed to have the con- | gress tainted with the suggestion | of the recent humiliation of the | I. w. W. in the west"
 Immediately the congress plunged | into a delirium of debate, in which the Mensheviki ultimately were put | to rout and the congress voted to permit the seating of two I. w. w delegates on payment of $50.
