AGENTS REPORTS MADE GERMANY
 VERY HOPEFUL
Former German Imperial Chancellor Discussed Situation Previous
 to His Death.

PARIS, Jan. 10.-"The animosity of great many of the Germans to- ward Prussia will have a decisive influence on the future conflagraton of Centarl Europe" said Count von Hertling, the former Imperial Ger man Chancellor, in an interview with the correspondent of the Matn, three days before his death.
 "At Munich as at Stuttgart and Cologne, there is resentment against Prussia for having so badly stecred the common ship and, let it be un- country, but the caste and the politi5 cal system is meant"
 Existing Prussia is incomparably stronger than all the other confed- erated States, but it does not repre- sent homogeneous ethnical bloc, but an agglomeration of widely diff ferent Provinces. If the present ideas follow their course, moment | ous historical events soon will occur and the name of Prussia will disap- pear from the map of Europe. 1 Six or Seven States of Germany
 "Tn the new Federated Germany there will be no place for the dispro- ! portion at Prussia, surrounded by feeble satellites. The new Germany will comprise six or seven States, approximately equal in importance. Instead of Prussia. we swill see the State of Brandenburg and Pomer- antz, the State of Hanover and the Lower Elbe, the State of Westphalia bound by Federal lines to Bavaria, to Saxony and to Wurtemburg, and it. self turned in to, the old Grand Duchy of Baden"
 He was questioned by the cores pondent as to his hatred for Prussia, which the correspondent said to him to be of recent date.
 Evidently Won Hertling replied with frankness.
 | One reasons very different when defeated by the clamors for victory and everybody believed in victory

FIFTY THOUSAND
 4 YEAR NEEDED
 FOR MERE DRESS
Chats About the Doings and Dressings of Paris Following the End
 of the War.

PARIS, Jan 11.-What thrill TOT Paris when the first silk top hat appeared on the. Boulevard! urcnlns forgot to hoot and stared in open mouthed astonishment. And how out of fashion this hat looked, just be- cause we were unused to it. The eve took in that first one critically, making the tremendous jump rom the low, flat, kepi to this eight in ches of shiny black and then des- cended fascinated, hynotised to the gleaming white shirt front polished and starchy and studded.
 Ca est, la paix! This was it's mark and sign. But, although this first flower of the springtime bore itself with the modest pride of man who is used to doing the first thing, first among all of the nation, the conventional proverb never came so literally true-all about pride and 8. fall.
 Rolls in the Dust
 For four years of three-inch cap had made a certain reckless fashion of throwing himself into a taxi-cab a habit. And as he drove off the hotel steps into the waiting car, crash went the precious shiny black hat into the top ledge of the door and off it rolled into the pow dery white dust of the automobile pathway.
 The spell was broken. Signs of en vy-radiant glances of admiration from those dainty roughed ladies unfortunately still wearing high necked gowns-the open mouth re- spect of the hotel pages-all faded before this ignominous descent to the dust And hearty laugh rang out in which the man himself was the first to join.
 Gay Nights Ahead
 That same night I saw at the op- era the first decollette I have seen since the war, and day by day the restaurants are filling up with wo- men who have been content to take ready-made evening gowns rather than wait the prescribed time that Panquin or Premet or Callot de- mands now to fill all the new or ders. For all these houses are so overcrowded with commands for the most elaborate, the most luxurious evening gowns that even with all the extra girls they are taking on they can't begin to meet the demand
 And~as the decolette dresses in crease-both in number and in area the coal supply decreases; so to be smart and fashionable and peace fur' one must also freeze, Which,
The Alaska daily empire., 1919-01-23

in view of the prevalent grip, is really enormous sacrifice to make to the Goddess Fashion.
 Along with decollettes have come diamonds which excel the Kohinoor in size and brilliancy, pearls that hang like ostrich eggs in double rows around the necks .of the very young CT the very old, sapphires that look for all the world like balls of bluing dangling from the rouged ears of successful demmondaines. But more than any of these signs that some one has been making money out of the war is the eternal, ubquitous sable coat. Yes, that's what I said sable. Simply to get away from the monotonous ordimariness some brave souls have taken the ultra-fa fashionable squirrel or kolinsky And last night

at the Ritz I saw three full-lengtL
 capes of the supposedly nearly ex tinct chinchilla.
 The women who wear these cape. are almost equally divided into two
 classes-the wives of the nouveaux
 riches, just emerging from their pro vincial chrysalis, or the mistresses
 of the nouxeaux-rich husbands allow ed at last to luxuriate in show1
 personal adornment which before
 would have been such bad taste as tt
 have been impossible.
 s0,ooo Francs Enough And both types of women reason that a jewel may be overlooked il the crush of the opera or distan corner of a restaurant, but a $30,00
 coat can not be overlooked by dip le,mat and socialist alike. There wat
 an amusing little altercation recent | ly which found it's finish in the
 newspapers about the amount Mar that Chenai paid for her coat, and | the item finished: Tt is perfectly impossible to get good fur coat
 without bein gextravagant in the
 neighborhood of 80,000 francs and
 the amount ascribed to Mile. Cinema
 is grossly exaggerated"
 It would seem that the popular | Mlle Chenai is even outdoing tho generation-famed Cecile sSorel, who claims that it is impossible for any woman to dress we'll on less thar S50,000 a year.

II ! is really restricted to the two class es I mentioned, but as they are Hooking to Paris in great drove and as one sable coat and string | of 30 grain pearls keeps the tye busy while a score of modestly dressed | women with the French model of re 1 connaisance pass, one has the feel 1 ing in the restaurants of being ir
 period more affluent, more luxur i, ious than before the war even. And as it is the French who are bringing back clothes and jewels, i if is the Americans who are bringing 1 back dancing. Several of the papers made a special note of the fact that Thursday, November IA, was his toric date. since it was the first , time since war that anyone had danced before the complacent eyes of those in authority.
 It was at a reception at the Hotel de Villa in honor of the American Red Cross, where an enormous crowd waited for the end of five intermin-
 able speeches. Everyone was stand ], ing and poor Marshal Joffre shifted from one foot to the other. swamped under the waves of eloquence. An usher slipped a chair through the
 crowd, and Joffre alone in all the assembly, sat down. san facOn. When the speeches were at last over and
 Joffre was amlably trying to escape the encirclements of many Ameri- can nurses an American officer ad-
 yanced to the leader of the Garde
 Republiaine Bank and asked for a two-step. There was a slight hes itation and then he gave the order. whereupon every Red Cross man seized a Red Cross girl and began to dance while the authorities applaud 1 ed

that because of certain information of the most favorable nature which reached us from the Entente coun- tries, notably from France. It was on account of this information that the high command, notwithstanding the opposition of the Government, was able to continue bombarding Paris. It was obviously hoped to hasten the process of demoralization. about which well-meaning agents furnished daily fantastic reports.
 We expected grave events in Par is for the end of July That was on the 18th. On the 18th even the most optimistic among us understood that all was lost. The history of the world was played out in three days"
 The Germans on July 15 resumed their offensive on a 50-mile front between Chateau-Thierry and Mas sizes. Three days later the French and Americans launched their coun- ter-offensive between the Aisne and the Marne This counter offensive marked the beginning of the down. fall of the German military power.
