The conclusion of the summers
story of afternoon gowns introduces
a few new and interesting features.
When midsummer was barely in sight
along came organdie and took its place
by the side of crepe %georgette as n
favorite for the sheerest and quaint
est frocks. Then appeared foulard, in
bold figured patterns. showing a white

Indispensable these figured foulards
have been made up with wide laces,
and again foulard has shown itself
quite equal to standing alone in gowns
that found no room for sheerer stuffs.

Logic, having lodged itself in he
mind of modern woman, makes 1t easy
to explain why she finds so many good
reasons for taking to trousers. She
still walks in skirts, but she rides,
swims, hunts, keeps bees, gardens
and farms in boomers or over
ais or breeches. But there is no
logic that explains her taking to pa
jamas for sleeping garments or to
replace other negligees, unless 1t Is
that she has discovered them to be
most becoming.
Anyway, the fact stands that in
every representative collection Of I'm
gerie pajamas, in %two-piece and one
piece STYLES, have as prominent repre-
sentation ms night dresses and negli-
gees. Also there are about ms many
garments made of wash satin, crepe
de chine and other wash silks as there
are of fine cotton. The heavier cotton
weaves are n thing of the past in I'M
dergarments, excepting petticoats.
Among these must be some n a are

CAR SHORTAGE CAUSE
COAL MINES TO CLOSE
MINERS GO TO OTHER FIELDS
FUEL OFFICIALS ARE SAID TO
BE MUCH ALARMED
Over Serious Situation In Many States
Workers In West Virginia Dis
trict Are Said To Be Threatened
With Starvation.

Washington.-Coal mines in many
parts of the country are beginning to
close down because of car shortage,
and both reduced production and un-
employment have reached such a seri
Gus stage that Fuel Administration of
ficials frankly are said to be alarmed.
The situation has been placed before
the Railroad Administration, with an
urgent request for drastic steps to
keep the mines supplied with cars.
In the FairmOnt-Clarksburg bitumin-
Gus fields in West Virginia the labor
problem is giving officials the most
concern. Some 1900 miners are re-
ported in danger of starvation as the
result of mines shutting down, in a
telegram sent the Fuel Administration
by the local of the United Mine Work
ers of America for District No. II, Tay-
lor county, comprising larger num-
ber of mines of the Fairmont district.
An average approximately of $500
men day have been idle in the Fair
-Clarksburg fields, according to
figures in the possession of the Ma
tional Coal ASsocia ton. In Iowa, Hi
nois, Ohio and Pennsylvania, and prac-
tically every other bituminous coal
producing state, a similar condition is
declared to exist. Miners are becom-
ing dissatisfied and serious loss of
mine labor is threatened by idle
miners going to other work unless i'm
mediate relief is obtained. While COM
plete figures on car shortage and
miners idle for the first two weeks in
April are not available, reports show
that in one of the Pennsylvania btu
minous fields normally getting 962
cars day, only 42S were received at
the mines one day last week, resulting
in loss of 26,700 tons of coal on that
day.

Washington.-The sedition bill, pro-
viding penalties OF 20 years imprison.
ment and $4,000 fine, for language or
acts of dislOyalty or obstruction OF
the army drafts and liberty loans, was
passed by the Senate without a rec.
ord vote. 1t goes now to conference
between the House and Senate and
final enactment is expected soon. Pro
tracted and bitter debate marked con-
sideration of the measure, the passage
OF which had been urged strongly by
Administration officials to permit the
Government itself to deal with dis
loyal agitators and check the growing
dangers of mob violence.
Though modified to meet the objec-
tions of Senators who declared the
original draft would curb legitimate
freedom of speech, the bill retains the
broad inhibition of words or acts
which support or favor the cause of
the German Empire or its allies . E.
or oppose the cause of the United
States"
1t also would punish willful and
"disloyal, profane, scurrilous, con-
temptuous or abusive" language about
the American form of government,
constitution, military or naval forces,
flag or uniform" and willful utter
ances designed to curtail production
of essential war materials. The Sen
ate adopted an amendment by Sena-
tor Jones, of New Mexico, providing
for dismissal of Federal executive en-
ployes making disloyal statements.
This was a substitute for one intro
duced by Senator Penrose, of Penn
sylvania, several days ago after at
tacks had been made on George Creel,
chairman of the Committee on Public
Information, and other officials on ac-
count of their writings in the past.

BRITISH READY
TO MAKE STAND
MUST HOLD GROUND, DESPITE
COST, DECLARES HAIG, IN
PLEA TO ARMIES.
lntimation That Allies Are Ready To
Strike at Germans Is Given In Or
der Issued BY British Chief.

London.-Great Britain's armies
stand at bay in France and Flanders.
After three weeks of a combat which
has eclipsed anything that has ragged
during the entire four years of war
fare Field Marshal Haig has issued a
command to his men to hold their
ground at whatever cost, and fight with
the knowledge that their blows are
struck for the safety of their homes
and the freedom of mankind"
The end of the first phase of this
giant struggle now may be considered
as passed. There must be no retire
ment," is Haig's admonition, which
adds that the British now are fight
ing with their backs to the wall"
The withdrawal in Picardy officially
was reported to have been a part of
the allied strategy, but the period for
such tactics seemingly has gone into
history.
The order issued by the Field Mar
shal contains another sentence which
may be pregnant with significance.
THE French army is moving rapidly
and in great force to our support" he
said, and this is the first official init
nation that the allies are ready to
strike back at the German invaders.
This blow may not necessarily fall
in Flanders, nor yet in Picardy, but
may be aimed at some part of the line
where Generalissimo Foch may believe
he can cut through the German front
and compel the Teutons to relax their
pressure against the British.
London evening newspapers, in re-
viewing the situation on the western
front. state that in the Wytschaete re-
gion the Germans failed to get the
main crest of the ridge. The Germans
have taken the village of Messines,
while the British are holding the out
skirts. Attacks on Wytschaete and
the Messines Ridge failed, the Ger
mans losing heavily in their attack.
At least II divisions are engaged on
the German side on the front from Hol-
lebeke to Givenchy, the reviews de-
clare. that being the number it is esti-
mated have been thrown into the fight
ing up to the present.

the Mahsuds, an unruly tribe inhab-

the frontier Of India and the territory
OF the Amir Of Afghanistan, was
brought to a successful conclusion In
a few weeks, early in 1917, with the
aid OF airplanes, which promptly dis
covered the most secret assemblages
OF the tribesmen and reported them
to headquarters.
"The collection and advance of large
bodies were watched and followed,
and when the moment for attack ar
rived the tribesmen's formations were
broken up or destroyed by lOw-fying
airplanes dropping explosive bombs
and scattering them, or leaving them
exposed to Etack by the advancing
British line" The airplane has revo-

VESSELS COMMANDEERED
Three Score Boats To Be Taken Over
For Traffic, Relieving Rail
Transportation.

WashingtOn.-Leading Atlantic and
Gulf steamships will be under control
of the Railroad Administration. Pres
ident Wilson, by proclamation, COM
mandeered the Clyde, Mallory, Mer-
chants and Miners and Southern
Steamship Lines and assigned them
to the supervision of Direcotr General
McAdoo, who already has control of
railway-owned lines, the Ocean, Old
Dominion, Southern Pacific, Baltimore
Steam Packet and Chesapeake Steam
ship Companies. This action adds 63
coastwise vessels averaging $500 tons
each to the 4S other coastwise ships
already under Government manage
ment, making total of Ill vessels, ag-
gregating nearly 100000 tons.
They are assigned to carrying coal
and other materials between Hamp-
ton Roads and New England, cottou
from the South to New England, and
other traffic which will result in re-
lieving rail transportation. Under pri-
vate management, it is said, many of
the ships taken over under the procla-
nation have been running on infiex'-
BILE schedules and routes, often carry
ing light cargoes, at least one way, and
have not lent themselves entirely to
the exigencies Of railway and port
congestion. One of the first steps of
the Government will be to place
greater number OF vessels in the coal
carrying trade between Hampton
Roads and New England to provide
for a reserve of fuel for next winter.
