Costumes of the Allies

To tie Editor Of WoMdIl Pdg";
Dear Madam--we are going 10 nIssuu"
ball and would like your advice. We arc
land, France, Italy and Belgium. Should W
wear skirts or boomers? How should th,y
be made and what should w wear It, our
hair, what color OF wigs? should We wear
high or low heolnd slippers" one night on
tho pier We saw e group of girls represent
They wore mautles over their shoulders. on
the mantlss were the flags Of Tho countries
they represented. What did this roprescnt---
'' ''' " THE ALLIES
Any description I might print here of
these symbolic costumes would be too
brief 10 be clear. It. viii &c far more
satisfactory for you to 20 to the Public
Library at Thirteenth and Locust streets
and look uD the following books. where
I have found pictures OF the sort Of cos
tunes you are looking for. The pictures
are in colors and one look at them will be
worth any amount Of words from me,
In the periodical room in the library YOU
will find the figure Of Britannia in the
London Graphic OF March Z, 1917, and
symbolic figure OF France on the cover
of Life. May -, 1917. In the art room
Of the library on the third floor you will
find symbolic figure Of Belgium on
page Gs Of the Blind Soldiers and Sail
ors' Gift Book, and you will find Italy in
book called Fancy Dresses Described"
There is a poster Of Liberty in the cor
ridor. You will see that dresses are
worn, not boomers; that wigs are uu-
necessary, and you can wear either high
or low heels. II these costumes arc too
elaborate, why not wear white cheese
cloth draped with the flag Of each coun-
try? The costumes you referred to seeing
on the pier represented the country not
the type Of people.

WHEN WILL THE
LEAF TOBACCO
MARKET OPEN +?
WarehOusemen Worried Over the At.
titude Of the Buyers, Who Say
They VIII BE Here the
First Of the Year.

Loose Leaf Tobacco Warehouse
men in this city are much put out
over the prospects of the opening of
the market in this city this season.
To use familiar expression,
There is a world of tobacco this year
in this section" and the fact that the
prospects are not overly bright for
the opening of the market here before
the first of the year has set them on
the anxious seat.
Last week letters were received
here from the big buyers stating that
they would not be on this market be-
fore the first week in January, 1919,
which caused a big protest to be for
warded to them from the Maysville
Tobacco Association.
ton to the fact that the market in
q Lexington was scheduled to open on
December 3, and asked why that mar
ket should be favored with a months
sales before this one. There is just
as good quality of hurley sold on this
market as there is at Lexington or
anywhere else, and just why the buy
ers should want to give this market
a decided disadvantage over LeXing-
ton cannot be explained, as the big
wigs are treated as well here as they
are at any place on the earth, given
the same class of entertainment the
same class or better of tobacco and
as this is the place where the most
of them found the hurley tobacco in
quantities to make them a sufficient
guarantee on their investment if there
are any favors to be shown the ware
housemen here think they should have
them.
1t may be that the buyers will
change their decision and come here
before the first of next year.
Warehousemen are now busy try
ing to recruit their crews to handle
the crops as soon as the market opens
and if they are to be handicapped by
this late opening it will be extremely
hard to get any labor at ALL as it will
be employed in other fields by that
time, and if such be the case one can
readily see the plight the houses here
will be in. Most all of the houses are
being put in working condition, ant
it is hoped the buyers will open here
the same time they do elsewhere, as il
is as much to their advantage as it Il

The unconditional surrender of all
German forces in East Africa within
one month is provided
The repatriation within IA days of
the thousands of unfortunate civilians
deported from France and Belgium is
required.
German troops which have not left
the invaded territories, which specifl-
cally includes Alsace-Lorraine, within
ID days become prisoners of war.
Freedom of access to the Baltic Sea-
with power to occupy German forts in
the Cattegat, is another provision.
The Germans also must reveal loca-
tion of mines, poisoned wells and like
agencies of destruction, and the allied
blockade is to remain unchanged dur
ing the period of armistice.
All ports on the Black sea, occupied
by Germans, are to be surrendered,
and the Russian war vessels, recently
taken by the German naval forces, al
so are to be surrendered to the allies.
The President made it plain that the
nations which have overthrown the
military masters of Germany will now

lle warehouses;.
AS the growers have made arrange
ments to settle their obligations to
those merchants who have always
been glad to carry them, and these OBJ
legations have been arranged for by
the January 1st, the delay of a months s
opening means a months delay in
settling these obligations, which will
be embarrassing to the farmers and
merchants. And then a large number
have bought Liberty Bonds, War
Stamps on the same conditions, all of
which means further delay to all par
ties concerned. 1t is understood the
buyers claim the influenza epidemic
has caused this delay on their part,
something of course, over which they
had nothing to do with, claiming that
all markets would be treated alike by
them-that is, they would have their
buyers on all at the same time AS the
draft has been recalled things look
little better for securing the ne
cessary help from that source.
Not very much of this years crop
has been sold to spectators as yet,
but if the market is not to open be-
fore the first of the year it is thought
great deal will get into outside
hands, and if this be the case, and the
! demand for the weed becomes very
strong, as it now seems very likely

it and pay dearly, too, as those who
buy and hold for more money can af-
ford to hold and will held until they

NO ACCIDENTS REPORTED

During the jollification yesterday
in this city, participated in by prac-

in this vicinity, there have been no
accidents worthy of mention reported.
AS the promiscuous use of firearms
was a certainty early in the day. Chief
Ort issued instructions to ammuni-
tion dealers not to sell loaded cart
ridges to any one, but before the run
out happened with large number of
those who were firing pistols they
must have had an inexhaustible sup
ply of loaded cartridges, as any num-

eral telephone wires being severed
and people being struck. but no ac-
cidents of any kind to amount to any
thing happened. This was a very're-

HUNTERS TAKE NOTICE

There has been no change made in
the Game Laws of Kentucky recent
ly. Some are under the impression
that there has been some alterations
made within the last year or so, but
there has not, and they are virtually
the same. No one has the privilege
under the law of hunting off their own
premises without first procuring u
Hunters License and the permission
of the landlord to do so, and 1t is un-
lawful to shoot game out of season
and also unlawful to sell, barter or
trade any rabbits or parts of any rab-
bits between the 1st day of January
and the 14th day of November, both
days inclusive.
