VOLUNTEERS ARE WANTED FOR NEW
 FASHIONS WAR

Vounteers-Wanted 1000 sports m of good social position to wear upon 8 given date, new fashions for men designed to bring back color and line into masculine attire.
 This was the gist of a request the apostle of the new era of romantic dress" sought to have inserted in London papers. To convince news paper representatives of his sincerity, MT Parkes exhibited fifteen sample suits, or, rather, costumes.
 ''These clothes," said the revolu- tionist in fashions, indicating a pearl gray evening dress with lace ruffles, fare not effeminate-can you call the age of Sheridan and Garrick and Walter Raleigh effecina te? It was a gallant age-and so is this. The end Of every war heralds a new age. The smartness of army regaia has work ed a sort of dress revolution for men. They see how much finer they look with waists and in brooches, the girls like them better, they feel braver, more upright
 The ''call for volunteers was printed, but the last communique from MT. Parkes establishment, which is to serve as headquarters during the proposed offensive on cur rent mems fashions, was to the effect that the desired '"war strength of l. coo had not yet been recruited.

clearly realizes that they aim at benefiting very largely the two nations concerned.
 Unity and Stability.
 The Government of the Shah aspires to unify the interests of the Persian people. Some prom ise of solidarity is already v1s1- ble on the political horizon.
 No one ignores the importance of Persia or the glorious role the country has played in the past. Those who are familiar with the East recognize ,aar the Per sians are an intelligent race and that during all time Persia has produced distinguished servants and thinkers. Persia's contribu- ton to literature, art, science, and civilization, in truth, ranks high among the nations of the world.
 The system of finance, in a na- tiona1 sense, requires careful revi- sion; the Army is in need of re- organization, and railway con- struction is imperative.
 The repercussions of the war afflicted Persia, in spite of her neutrality. International rivaIries brought cruel consequences to our towns and villages. Devasta- tion, famine, and epidemics visit ed our beloved country.
 Many events led to the agree ment concluded between the Governments of Great Britain and Persia on August of this year. The text of this instrument was conceived to furnish my country with the means to achieve political and economic independence.
 On my arrival in Europe was surprised to find that in some quarters the Agreement had been misinterpreted It was suggested

kars, Armenia, Sept. 25, via Paris, Nov. l. - That the problem of Ar menia is military and economic and that the medical problem is negIigible Is the verdict of a series of inquiries which the American Red Cross has made from the chief physicians of Armenia
 The president of the Republic, Al exandre Khadtian, himself a phy- sician, says that once an orderly gov ernment is secured the people will re- turn to their land, and the maladies of overcrowding and underfeeding will disappear. There is small demand for surgery in Armenia.
 Colonel Ford, a physician and the representative of the Peace Council at the Armenian capital, says tha- the epidemics and starvation of the last three years, which have killed Walter Raleigh effeminate It was a two-thirds of the Armenians have tended to eliminate the weak, and that the million Arm menians who sur vive are unusually free of disease or physical defornity. It has been chief ly the very young, the very old and the little girls who have been over come.
 Dr. Marvin of the Amercian Hos pftal at AlexandropoIis says that 90 per cent. of his cases need only clean Illness and food to regain norma! health.
 The physicians are agreed that the natural health of the nenians is excellent, and that if the Great Pow CTS can once help them to a peaceful life they need not trouble to give them much medical attention.

London, Nov. 1.-(By The Associat- ed Press) A man garbed in a black frock coat, ruffle, a pair of pink brooches and bright colored stockings very likely would evoke astonish- ment if not rtdicuIe were he to stroll down Fifth Avenue or Broadway, but Henry Parlzes, hailed in London as "the hidden hand in mems fashions. . declares such restoration of color and line to mems dress should be a logical and altogether proper aftermath of the war. He is seeking to revolu- ttonize mems dress to popu1arize the gallant styles of by-gone days. His creed is that men want to cast off their dark, unsymmetrical garments of gloom and wear clothes of bright hue and brilliant cut expressive of a new age of herotsm and romance.

that there were contradictions between it's text and the text of the League of Nations Covenant. whereas a careful examination of both would have demonstrated the contrary.
 In Perfect Accord.
 We are in Persia very anxious, concerning the possible spread of Bolshevism, whose dangers are manifest. Nations with large az ricultural- populations are prac- tically subject, it seems, to the ravages of this scourge. At one point the small republic of Age baijan has sprung up as buffer Russia (Georgia).
 A more powerful Persia. The promised fruit of the Agreement with England, would undoubted- ly help to balance the situation in the Middle East, thus restrain ing the too ambitious inclinations of other States.
 Russia was always in the past eager to control the economic de- velOpment of Persia and to place her upon all our small resources.

This opposition was all the more effective because Persia obvious ly could not herself undertake an enterprise necessitat ting coop eration with foreigners in the di- rection of capital, material, and technical knowledge.
 Now that Great Britain and Persia are in perfect accord, through the successful work of the two Governments, a new era will inevitably open in the Mid dle East-an era which will bring benefit to all those nations which are actuated by worthy motives and a love of justice.

Parise. Nov. l. - The friendship which exists between the British Government and the Government of Shah is of very long standing, and is, indeed, in the nature of a tradition in both countries. It is not, I think, too much to say that England has ever been mindful of Persian interests in the Middle East. She has, more over, always exhibited a strong sympathy towards the Persian nation in it's struggle for iber- ty and prosperity. Until very re- gently, circumstances did not permit of the full development of Anglo-Persian friendship, nor did they allow it's fruits to ripen to the mutual benefit of two peo- pies. Now, however, the situa- ton has been transformed, and no obstacles stand in the way of q clear and comprehensive un- derstanding. A community of in terests has triumphed over every thing else, and today we See a happy, a promising future ap- preaching for Persia, as well as Great Britain.

the war.
 There are certain important questions associated with our af- fairs which have a direct Euro Pean importance, while there are others which can only be answer ed by the people of the NIohom- medan faith. The question of the Caliphate, for example, must be decided by the MosIems them selves.
 The Arab Revolt.
 A very serious point, which. unlike the choice of the Caliph, is of European concern. has to do with establishing unity among the Arabs. They must not be di- vided by different influences. I feel confident that my Allies will not revert to a policy of coloniza- ton, but, on the contrary, will maintain a strict regard for the principles for whicn they fought namely. the principles of jus tice and right.
 My chief aspira ton is to bring about the political unity of the Arab-speaking provinces and to remove all European desiens which may be directed at coiun- izatton.
 It may be pointed out that the Arabs raised the question of their independence before the war. The Arab Congress which met in Paris in 1912-I3 put forward the proposal of complete autonomy, and Turkey was compelled to promise the Arabian countries this concession. But the Ottoman Government failed to keep it's faith with the Arabs, who. how ever, did not aIlaw themselves to be cast down, although exiI- ed and bitterly persecuted. Those whose sentiments were merely suspected suffered the same fate as those who avowed themselves the champions of freedom. The ideal of liberty and independence was firmly implanted in their hearts
 On the first occasion which pre- sented itself the Arabs threk themselves upon their oppres- sors. and. owing to the advance of my troops, the standard of re- volt was raised everywhere.

UNITED ARABIA A PLEA FOR INDEPENDENCE From H. R. H., THE ENIIR FEISUL
 (Son of the King of the Hedjaz) lCopyright 1919 By The Int ernaonal

Paris, Oct. 23-The situation created by the Arab revolt against Turkish misrule has been of no little significance in deciding the fate of the Ottoman Empire. The primary causes of this revolt are to be found in the treatment of the Arabs by the Turks during four centuries. For the past hun dred years, indeed, there has been clear evidence of the shoulder ing fire. The Turks have viewed the Arabs with hostility, not un- mixed with apprehension, since they saw in us a virile race of people, one almost more numer- ous than their own.
 After the announcement which was made during the Turkish Rev olution of 19OS-in which we took a prominent part, by the way-we hoped that a satisfac- tory understanding might be reached, but our hopes were not realized. The Young Turks, who gained an ascendency, were com pletely dazzled by the glitter of the Hohenzollern sword and swiftly adapted themselves to Germany's policy in the East. They went so far as to initiate their taskmasters' methods in dealing with the races which compose Turkey. Everything was to be Turkified, as were all the nations within the Sultan's frontiers. That is to say, each race in the schools was to dis card it's own language; also it's rights of nationality. This scheme was intolerable to the Arabs, whose language - superior to Turkish-is the language of the Koran and who in themselves are stronger and of far more ancient culture than the Turks.
 The oppressors set about to annihiIate the Armenians, who, however, refused to become Turks. The Arabs were expos ed to the same dangers and per secutions, but they proved to be too strong to be swept from the face of the earth.
 Turkish Atrocities.
 Early in the war, those Arabs who were dependent upon cere- als produced in districts remote from their own were cut off from their food supplies by the Ottoman Government, with the result that thousands perished. The Turks, nevertheless, knew how to profit from the fighting qualities of the race they were so eager to oppress, and the Arab casualties in the war were very great.
 At Damascus and Beyrut many eminent Arabs were hanged by order of the Turkish authorities. The officers of my entourage have all had narrow escapes from the Turks, whose methods were so cruel, so iniquitous, that they could no longer with honor serve under the SuItan's banners. The ill-treatm of the Syrians-Sy- ria is the centre of the Arab movement-induc me to go via Damascus to Medina and Mecca, where I started the Arab revolt. Thousands of Syrians in the Fur kish army joined me. As my troops took 10000 prisoners in the campaign it may be assumed that they contributed their share to the successful termination of
