1t is far past time to discard that
first hat" The hat for mid-winter
must now occupy milady's attention.
Since her suit and coat have been
carefully selected hat to match
must be the next thing bought. Fur
coats seem to be the favored thing
this year and although so far the
winter has been very mild even in
the north the women are desperately
wearing these heavy coats Of expen-
sive pelts in hopes that bitter day
may yet reward them. And what is
more natural than fur and fur trim
med hats to match these wraps.
Pictured IS a most becoming tur-
ban for. the young matron. 1t is
made of black panne velvet. A broad
band Of black fur and an aigrette of
uncurled ostrich form the trimming.
Such hat is suitable for wear dur
ing many hours of the day and will
be as smart at the afternoon tea
as it is during the morning shop
ping hours. Fur trimmed hats like
this may be worn with any kind Of
fur coat for one of the vagaries of
the season is the wearing OF two or
more kinds Of fur at the same time.

League Is Necessity.

Paris, Dec. 19.-After four days Of
gathering views of leaders in France,
President Wilson's closest advisers
say he has seen no reason to change
his belief that the foundation Of a
league Of nations Is inseparable from
the actual peace treaty itself.
These advisers say that the Presi-
dent in explaining his definition of
''the freedom of the seas" will reas-
sure Premier Lloyd George that he
has no intention OF demanding a re-
involving the safety of the en-
pire but will emphasize his feeling
that the plan of a league will
strengthen the empire.
King Victor Emanuel, who is ex-
pected to arrive today, already has
been fully advised of the Presidents
plan through conferences with Count
Di Cellere, Italian ambassador to the
United States, but the President will
take the opportunity to make per-
sonal explanations to the king and
also to make clear his friendliness
toward Italy.
No Nation Is Master.
In all his conferences the Presi-
dent has taken opportunity to i'm
press his views. it is said, by those
VINO dIS duluOEIHGu 10 speak 1oT uILIl
that no one nation is entitled to as
sumo the role OF master Or dictate
the manner or the conditions Of the
representations Of others.
There is some indication that con-
siderable headway is being made in
this direction, and that the members
of the American mission are now see
ing their way clearly All express
the conviction that delegates will en-
ter the conference in spirit of ac-
commodation.
Some undercurrents are interposed
as showing indications Of regret be-
cause the acceptance of President
Wilson's points in a general way pre-
vented some nations from achieving
their own objects which might have
been gained If Germany's collapse
had been made even more complete.
In reply, it has been made plain to
those with whom the President con-
ferred, that the Catted States gov
ernment does not consider the war
a victory oe arms alone, and that
victory would be incomplete without
an or ryanization of nations to Suaran-
tee world peasa.

win go beyond it this year."

WARDS OF THE NATION.

Apropos of the disposition finally to be made
A.he German colonies, it is relateu cnar- the
natives of East Africa who have now by allied
victories been freed from 'kultur' are exultlng
in their liberation and loud in their demands
that ''the people of the fifteen shall never
come back. The fifteen refers to the fifteen
lashes with whip of hippopotamus hide with
which their late masters had punished them
for minor offenses which were not considered
to merit more lashes or death.
It is mistake to suppose that the negroes
and other natives of tropical lands and islands
do not appreciate and respond to just and
kindly rule. There are some forty seven mil
lion of these uneveloped peoples of one race or
another under the British flag, and the Union
of South Africa governs four millions more.
Their loyalty and good will to the empire are
remarkable. Almost every tribe in the south
Pacific has sent free will offerings to the gov
eminent. Tribes in Africa have given money
and labor while the negroes OF the West Indies
have contributed about ten millions to the varl-
Gus war funds and have sent some hard fight
ing battalions across the sea.
America is following in England's footsteps
in considerate treatment of all the dark skinned
races whom destiny has delivered into its keep
ing Our chief concern is to educate them and
improve their condition. We treat them, not
as subjugated peoples to be exploited, but as
peoples who need instruction and protection.
Perhaps it is for this reason that we have been
unselfshy faithful to our trust that the united
voices of England and America will be potent
to determine the future of these peoples on the
return of peace.

ROBERT BURNS.

Robert Burns was born one hundred and tif-
ty-nine years ago today III a cottage about two
miles from Ayr, Scotland. He is the people s
poet because he wrote in warm sympathy with
the lowlv and the oppressed. His humane I'M
pulses were as broad as humanity, as deep as
the wells of the human heart. This is the rea-
son why millions read and are stirred by his
lines Burns was the friend of the oppressed,
the comforter Of the depressed, the champion
Of the wronged, the advocate Of charity and
benevolence. He recognized the tyranny and
greed and cruelty that rampant in the
world. He wrote feelingly of "man's inhuman-
itv to man. which ''makes countless thousands
mourn And yet the morlInfull note does not
predominant in his songs. Rather, they are
blithesome and seasoned with gentle humor.
But through all his works the generous heart
of Burns glowed with the mellow sunlight of
sentiment breaking through the clouds Of hui
man experience. The world would be better
and much human anguish would be spared if
his gentle philosophy were observed in spirit
by all mankind:
Then gently your brother man,
Still genter sister
Though they a kennin wrong
To step aside is human

for war purposes. Its understanding and that
of the roads was based on the proclamation IN
which the president said that he took posses
sion and assumed control of leach and every
system of transportation, ETC. That language
does not warrant the conclusion reached by MI.
McAdoo, that many roads are excluded from
government control.
The government will operate the roads under
conditions more favorable to success and profit

had to meet 1t can increase the rates for serV-

in these circumstances the financial burden Oh

not likely to move toward government owner

to their owners soon after the close OF the war,
for there is reason to believe that by that time
the government will have had enough OF re-

pa,gn of a year?" he was asked.

| pa'gn OF a year, he was asked.
"Oh, yes, there is plenty OF arms
and ammunition for that, but l still
insist they would not be ideal arms
as, for instance, the latest thing in
the way of heavy mobile artillery"
How about rifles?' was the next
question addressed to the secretary
I'VE have plenty of rifles for mil
lion men"
Mr., Baker added nonchalantly that
there were several large private
factories we could take over the very
next day that can make rifles at the
rate of three or four thousand
week"
The Post Express of Rochester,
pointing to a statement of equal OPP
timism made by Secretary Baker six
months later, remarks:
THE secretary has not always
thought of this war Alright. He did
not believe our entrance possible, so
he was unhurried about vital prepare
tons. He said six months ago the
army was supplied and equipped, but
now he says it will be furnished with
what it lacks
A year has been lost-the very
year during which the war that Mr..
Baker then saw at three thousand
miles distance has moved close up
TO the front door Of his department.
That is the naked truth about the
responsibility SO generously and
jauntily assumed by the secretary.
