FASCINATING CAPE WRAPS

It was quite natural that the little wonlen-the pocket edition" as they have been whimsieally ealled-should go into raptures over the dainty cape wraps just arrived from Paris. Those pretty little dolmans-for that is what they are in spite of the new ap pellation-are most becoming to small women. On tall, Junoesque creatures the little cape-wrap is apt to look short-waisted because so much skirt shows beneath it; it is the small wo- mans wrap and belongs distinctly to her petite stature Very useful af- fairs are these wraps. for theatefs, restaurants and formal afternoon wear. They protect the upper part of the body from the cold and allow an alluring glimpse of a dainty frock The dolman took feminintty by storm fifty years or so ago; now the rejuv- enated dolman, called cape-wrap or batterf1y wrap-or any thing you please-bids fair to be equally popu- lar. One of the prettiest of the new cape-Eraps, fascinating affair made of weird oriental brocade showing elephants, peacoeks, parrots and what not, on, the ground of rich white satin while a band of inky black fox adds dash at the edge of the wrap.

 SLAIN AS SUSPECTS

Washington, Sept. 27.-The State Department yesterday was in receipt of information from Russia which pales into insignificance the dreadful chronicles of the French revolution. One thousand persons have been kill ed in Moscow because they were sus- pected of being implicated in the plot to assassinate Lenine
 Mass murder is the order of the day in both Petrograd and Moscow. Thou sands of persons have been shot, other thousands are dying of starvation in prisons. women are being attacked and outraged, and neither city offers 3, sin- gle place of refuge.
 The latest report, dated Sept. 15, shows that on that day the most vio- lent elements of the BoIsheviki were in control in Petrograd. Their acts of frightfulness were such as to COW the entire population. The city, thq not only because of the bodies of the dead, but also because of the awful stiffness that followed in the wake of the murders.
 Hundreds of persons were arrested and cast into vile jails at the point of the bayonets of the Red Guards. Un- known numbers were being shot daily at Cronstadt alone.
 The report also said that 1,7O0 per- sons, mostly former officers, were un. der arrest as hostages for the lives oi the commissars. Many of the of. ficers are believed to have been de. liberately murdered. A recent storts washed scores of bodies ashore.

TO SPREAD VIEWS IN EUROPE.

Washington, Sept. 27-To keep the workingmen in the allied and neutral European countries informed as to the true attitude of the laboring men of America toward the war, the Socialist Democratic League of the United States is to establish commits sions at Milan, Paris and other cities.
 Plans for this educational cam paign abroad were approved yester- day by President Wilson after they had been laid before him by Charles Edward Russell and the other mem- bers of the Socialist commission which recently returned from Europe. Mem ters of the commission now are be- ing selected, subject to the approval of the State Department, which is to have general supervision over the work.
 The President was told that until the Socialist commission went abroad the working men in Europe were in ignorance of the attitude of the work CTS in the United States on the war and other important questions.
 Members of the commission were received yesterday by the President, who desired a frst-hand report of the results of their trip.

SEE FOCH's HAND IN EAST.

Washington, Sept. "A diplomatic the effect produced in Germany by the allied successes in the Maeedon- ian campaign, says that the military editor of the Munchner Neueste Naehrichten considers the allied of- fensive in Macedonia as an operation of first importance and not a simple diversion. He says:
 ''The division of the principal op- eration against the Doiran- -Prilep line in two divergent waves of attack with complementary operations on the two wings is so masterfully methodic that no doubt can exist as to the author of this manoeuyre. It bears Foch's signature"
 The F'rankfurter Zeitung also judges the military situation in the East to be serious.
 We. do not believe" it writes '1n a grand offensive aiming at the iber- atien of Serbia or in an immediate at tack against Bulgaria, because to do that the means at the disposal of the enemy, which depend on communica- ton by sea, would not be adequate, But 6 danger threatens lest part of the Macedonian territory occupied and coveted by the Bulgarians should again fall into the hands of the enc my. We suppose that this danger will suffice to ineite our allies to of fer the most intense resistance"

NOT CONNECTED WITH WORK OF
 MINUTE WOMEN

Mrs. Edna Berglund, who Is in charge of the gathering of statistics in the city for the regulation of wages by the Department of Labor, stated this morning that considerable con- fusion had resulted from the fact that the six women engaged in the work were continually confused with the Minute Women who are canvassing the city for female munition workers.
 The work which is being done by Mrs. Berglund and her corps of as- sistants, is an entirely separate un- dertaking under, the Department of Labor. It is believed the information obtained in this way wall aid matert- ally those who are called upon to set tie wage disputes, and that with a definite knowledge of the cost of liv- ing as a basis, labor awards can be made which will be agreeable to em- ployes as well as employers.

 ''The story is absolutely ridiculous and absurd" said Joseph P. Tumulty the Presidents secretary. "Mr. Hur- ley has made good in every way. The Administration as well as the coun- try is certain of this"

SWISS EDITORS
 HERE TO SEE
 OUR WAR WORK

An Atlantic Port. Sept. 27.-Despite the strict neutrality of the Swiss gov ernment, the people themselves are overwhelmingly in favor of the Allies, especially since the United States came in, according to Swiss editors who ar rived yesterday The editors are here under the auspices of the Committee on Public Information and will tour the country, gathering data on Amer 1ca's war preparations.
 The members of the party and their newspapers are: pr. Albert Oeri, Base Ter Nachrichten, Basic; Edouard Fue- ter, Zuricher zeitung, Zurich; Ernest Schuerch. Der Bund, Berne; Edwin Strub, National Zeitung, Basic; Will liam Martin Journal de Geneve, Gene va, and John David, Gazette de Lap- same, Lausanne.
 The food situation continues to give much anxiety one of the editors said, and occasionally there was wincing under the heavy burden of keeping the small nations army of 100000 men mobilized on patrol. All of the many hotels of Switzerland are crowd ed, or were when the journalists left three weeks ago, being peopled main ly by Russians who had fled their country, and by Germans, the latter being not too cordially received any where.
 Major Francis T. Colby of the Bel gian army, a son of Rear Admiral A. G. I. Colby of Boston, arrived on the same steamship He has been serving l in France since 1914. Another pas l senger was Andrew Parker Nevin, a 1 lawyer at 30 Church street, New York l City, who received @ notice on the 1 pier that he had been nominated for | supreme court justice on the Republi- can ticket. He went to France last August in the interests of the Ameri- l can Fund for French Wounded and l had not heard the result of the pri- maries.
 1 While he was in Paris $25o was of fered to MT. Nevin to buy a piano to | be given to one of the base hospitals l on condition that he would see the instrument delivered. MT. Nevin ac-
 cepted the responsibility, and started
 for the front with the piano in a mo-
 tor truck. Before they got near the
 battle, however, the car stalled and when the soldier-chauffeur hoped out
 to crank up, the handle broke his
 arm. This was the first injury the
 soldier, who had been in the war since
 the first, day, had received.
 Miss Emma Underhill, a Red Cross
 nurse, on her way to her home ir 1 Santa Barbara, after an absence ot
 three years, said that American sol | dierS in hospitals showed as mucf
 bravery under the knife as they die
 on the battlefield. She said there was plenty of room in France for womer
 war workers-providing they wen1
 over determined to work, and not tc
 look at the war as a great adventure
 affording thrills and great sights.
