PUNISH THE GUILTY

DR.. Theobald Won Bethman-Hol
veg, former imperial German chan
cellor, will not be allowed to shoulder
the crimes of William H, henzollern.
1t is reasonably certain, however.
that he will be called upon to answer
for those committed by himself. 1t
is said that within the next thirty
days the Allies will submit to the
German government a list of persons
who are charged with responsibility
for causing the war, or who are
alleged to have violated the rules of
civilized warfare. The former kaiser
will undoubtedly be named as the
chief instigator, and if what Won
Bethman-H ollweg says is true. he
should occupy second place. The
German nation is being punished for
allowing the militarists to rush the
country into a war of aggression and
for making preparations for the aw-
full struggle for half a century. The
punishment is just and should serve
as a warning to the citizens of all
other countries. But such punish
ment does not the case of the
rulers. military leaders and states
men who planned the war which re-
suited in the greatest of all catas-
tropics. They are not reached when
their followers are punished. and we
think that the delegates to the Ver-
sailles conference acted wisely when
they declared that guilt is personal
and decided to make a demand for
the chief culprits. from the ex-kaiser
down. Ambitious monarchs, mill
tary leaders and statesmen also need
a lesson, so that in the generations
to come others will not be tempted
to wage war for supremacy.
Some of the German leaders and
newspapers are calling upon The
Netherlands government to refuse to
surrender the person of the former
emperor, who sought asylumin Dutch
territory as soon as the Hun forces
were defeated in the field. Queen
Wilhelmina's husband is a German
prince, and it may be that the queen
herself sympathizes with the deposed
Wilhelm. The rank and file of the
Dutch people. however, have no
sympathy for the fallen monarch.
for they know full well that had the
central powers won the war Holland
as well as Belgium would have be-
come part of the German empire.
This being the case, we doubt if The
Netherlands government will at
tempt to interfere with the course
of justice. If it decides otherwise,
so much the worse for Holland.
In some quarters the peace terms|
imposed upon Germany are regarded
as harsh. The maudlin sentimental
lists whose sympathy for the beaten
Huns has been aroused do not stop
to consider what would have hap
pened had the German armies
triumphed and continental Europe
had been placed under control of the
imperial government. In such case
France. Italy and all the smaller ma
tions would have been ground down
to the dust and the German philos-
ophers would have justified every
diabolical crime committed by quot
ing from the books which have had
such a mighty influence in leading
the German people astray. But the
German armies did not win. Now

and suffering be brought to JUS

T T is still going up--up. up, up. And
when It started UP two years or

time it would be coming down again I:
For the conditions that made the price
OF shoes advance seemed for the most
part to be war conditions and we seemed
sight the price would start down again.
In some things this did happen,
Bread went down a little almost at
once but other things are still on the
increase and the conditions that make
the price high have only Increased

such large numbers OF men are going

therefore buying shoes makes a large
demand on the things OF which shoes
are fashioned. Hides cannot be pro-
duced and tanned over night. nor are
the regions where leather was to be
had as yet opened to commerce. And
the prediction Is made that the price
for shoes next autumn will be even
greater than 1t is now. But we will
take 1t without protest probably, for
We have changed our ideas about the
proper price to pay for shoes and II
won't be so dificult TO change It little
more.

shoes-it is building shoes over. In
some of the larger cities places where
that sort OF work is done have been
opened. and shoes that you take there
are actually so made over that they
are equal to a long period Of wear; and
they look almost as well as they did to
begin with. The price Is high, but
there is economy in having shoes that
were good to begin with repaired In
that way.
shoes became dearer we would be more
shabbily shod. But we must know by
this time that that is just what doesn't
happen. As an actual fact American
cookery very much improved after the
war began. Good ingredients were
harder to get and were more expen-
sive. The result was that We turned
our attention more seriously TO the
subject OF food preparation and we
Jared better as result. So when shoes
were cheap and We did not have to
take very good care Of them we were
not so we'll shod as we are now that
we realize that II Is necessary economy
to have shoes reheeled as soon as they
wear down so that the shoe will not
lose its shape. and when we know that

shoes that are not, and shoes that are
carefully polished and cleaned will

They will not be confined to the ex-
elusive this summer. They are threat
ened with unpleasant popularity; and
as they are not suitable to many types
Of American faces the artists will
probably wish they had never been in

The mantilla idea for the bridal veil
however. is an artistic perception that
should be encouraged. 1t provides a
change, and brides have been looking
for something out of the ordinary for
the last twenty-five years.

for she always leaned toward the
Spanish, and 1t was she who first in
troduced the farthingdale skirt that

adopted the embroidered rose as the
first form Of ornamentation. They
have taken the design, the coloration
and the workmanship from magnifi-
cent Spanish shawls. You know that

To the dressmakers this change Is
OF practical and commercial import
ance also. but to the artists in dress
1t is one of the minor phases of that
wide endeavor to follow Spanish fash
ions as they have been built up
through centuries OF great effort on
the part Of those who have contrib
uted to SPANS beauty.
How II Was Launched.
The Spanish skirt, as 1t is incor-
poraked by France, did not burst
upon us like a bomb.
We first had the full skirt with the
tight hem. That was the compromise,
That was the beginning Of the end of
the narrow skirt.
There were hundreds OF women who
accepted this modification of the
sheath as a pleasant surprise of the
spring. They did not see anything
sinister in 1t. They knew. and the re-
porters insisted upon it, that the slim
skirt they possessed could be retained
by serving as a foundation for a bal
loon tunic that was placed above it.
This Is as far as the American de-
sigpers went in the adoption of the
rev garment. But the public went
further. 1t permitted an extremely
hobbled hem to govern the skirt from
knee to ankle.
Then, while our backs were turned.
France lifted the hobbled hem and
went In for the genuine Spanish skirt.
America did likewise in every house
that had a weather eye turned east
ward over the Atlantic.
The dancers and the actresses were
the first to wear the skirt with the
hoops, the brilliant trimming over the
hoops. and the slightly converging
skirt dripping below like a mosquito
net, as one critic put it.
Surely the mosquito net was suf-
flciently Spanish!
MantiIIa for Bridal Veil.
Another Spanish fashion is the use
OF the national head covering as a
veil for June brides.
Rare old lace is used, II 1t is in
herited or can be bought: otherwise
tulle edged with lace is substituted. II

completely Spanish in appearance
that no better vehicle could have been
chosen to bring attention to Spanish
costumery.
The practical change from the slim
to the full contour. from the narrow
to the wide skirt, is OF the utmost sig
nificance to the public, and 1t domi-
mates all other acceptances Of Spanish
fashion.
The majority may not know. and
may care less, about the inspiration
for the fashion that made all their
clothes Questionable In the twinkling
Of an eye. They may only realize that
they must seek new fields Of dress,
discard the skirt that cannot be al
tered, accept the rounded curve from
waist to ankle. and throw aside the
mermaid's tail. which was the shap-
ing of their former skirts.
