WRITES FROM BREST.

Alvin Olson has written his par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. l. B. Olson, from
Brest France. dated March IS. and
says in part: "Well, we arrived
safe and sound in Brest after an un-
eventfuI trip from the states. We
didn't have one rough day .on the
trip over. We are going into the
navy yard after this trip. Have
been offered a fine job in New York
after / get out of the service. It's
playing French horn in the orches-
ira in the Rialto theatre, which, by
the way is the finest theatre in the
world. Was offered $50 per week,
with a substantial raise ever so
often. Don't think I'll accept any
way, as l have been away from home
long enough now. We expect to
start back from here, about Thurs
day or Friday, arriving in the states
about Aaril S." Alvin is anxious to
get out Of the service In order to at
tend the state, university during
April and May, as he missed those
two months in 1917, having enlisted
In April that year. This would give
him a proper foundation to start the
fall semester In September.

New York, March 2S.-The spring
maid is all wrapped up in capes as
voluminously as her predecessor,
Madame Winter. No matter how
she tries she can't seem to get out
from under the graceful folds. The
only difference between the winter
and Spring models is that those folds
have dwindled from the heavy rich
ness of fur velour and duyetyn to
the Spring, clingy lightness Of serge.
satin, wool jersey or tricotine.
If we follow old Omar's admoni-
tom and fling our Winter carmen
of repentance in the fires of Spring
it will only be to don another ey~
actly similar in cut and style.
OF course the spring capes have
some. new and novel touches to bring
them up to date, such as embroidery
ornamentation, scarf collars ending
in swishing tassels, patch pockets
and button excresences jutting out
in nobby designs.
. A perfect jewel of a model is OF
pearl gray Jersey with a deep soft
cape collar edged in a. wide band Of
black silk braid. The wide braid

black checker board satin shows free

blows.
A smart draped cape of black taf-
feta has one OF the deep soft collars
also, which Is edged with a wide
fringe of long narrow taffesta ribbon
loops, as is ALSO the bottom Of the
cape. The lining of this distinctive
model is a vivid apple green silk
crepe, fruitfu1ly sprinkled with
cherry polka dots and plumb-huy:d

PROVE PATRIOTISM
TO BECOME CITIZENS

Residents of Be..rami county who
are petitioning for citizenship in the
United States who have not demon
strated their patriotism to this coun-
try during the war crisis will in all
probability meet with disappoint-
ments when they appear for final ex-
animation in district court next
September.
r. X. Doe, United State naturali-
zation examiner, has asked Fred W..
Rhoda, clerk of court, to notify all
applicants for citizenship papers
that they must present their draft
classification cards when they ap-
pear for examination. Whether ap-
plicants have subscribed to the
liberty loans, have purchased war
savings stamps and have supported
the Red Cross and other patriotic
organizations will also be taken into
consideration before the rights of
American citizenship will be al
lowed.
In other words. If a man Of for
eign birth has not amply demon
strated his loyalty to the United
States he cannot expect to benefit
by being made one of its citizens.

,JAPS VALUE GOOD ... j.
FEELING OF YANKS

Toxic, Feb. 20, (By Mail, 1.-The
Japanese people, beyond a doubt,
consider the more friendly feeling
which has grown up between their
country and America as one of the
most important and most welcome
of all the by-products Of the war.
Accordingly, each. bit Of evidence OF
better feeling and understanding on
the part of citizens Of the United
States Is regarded with no little sat
isfaction. The following, from an
editorial in. the Asahi, one OF the
most influential newspapers Of the
Japanese capital, is sample:
According to report recently
received from Honolulu. a judicial
authority in Hawaii openly declared
in the course of his explanation re-
gardirg the new American natural
iZation law, that the Japanese sub
jects enlisted in the American army
should be legally granted the right
to naturalize and become American
citizens. The fact is an indication
of great change in the public
opinion of America, which was form
erly antagonistic regarding the
naturalization of japanese.
Another sign Of pro-Japanese
sen ntiment in America Is the reported
proposition to revise the anti-alien
land law Of California. According
to a report from San Francisco, a
bill is to be presented shortly before
the California legislature regarding
the extension of the leases granted
to the japanese. This will be q
great benefit to the Japanese farm
ers in the state, who, since the pro-
mitigation of the present alien land
law In 1913, have been suffering
from great disadvantages due to the
extremely short tenure of their
lands. In fact, until recently, no
one could imagine that such n radi-
cal change of public sentiment could
possibly take place in California.
which was popularity regarded as the
hotbed of the anti-Japanese propa-
ganda in the United States.
Japan Is now going to propose
as one OF her peace terms the recOg-
milton of the equality Of races, and
we are exceptionally pleased that
the proposal may possibly be accept
ed by the allied leaders, especially
by President Wilson and other
American delegates who are exerting
themselves for the establishment Of
a league of nations based upon the
spirit of Righteousness and univer-
sal brotherhood. The growth or
friendly feeling toward the Japanese
in America is welcome. as with this
at their back. the leaders of Japan
may be able to act faithfully and
fearlessly In accordance with their
conviction and faith" {.

SOME NEW AND NOVEL TOUCHES
INLATE STYLES; CAPES POPULAR

thing, closely swathed from her
throat to ner pointed toe in the en-
veloping folds of a navy blue serge
cape, reveals her true inner self
when she throws back the cape and
unfurls the joy of the Mandarin red
lining, that hectic new shade which
is a brighter, lighter, younger sister
to henna red and a first cousin to
burnt orange.
Sort of a summer evolution Of the
cape are the new old mid-Victorian
scarfs which are to cling to fair
grace and piquant charm of the
clinging vine pre-suffragette era.
/ Quaint crepe de chine ones with
woven figured borders on either end
come in pastel tones, lovely, cloudy
chiffon ones with printed borders Of
roses. and garlands, exquisite lace
ones OF filmy black Chantilly or the
creamy silky meshes of the Spanish
Roman silk, and saucy little taffeta
ones in black, gray, lined with a con-
trasting light color and self fringed
all around They are all irresistible,
and you'll find you're much more
fascinating If you shrug your
shoulders in them rather than at
them.
There is as. much art and coquetry

there is in manipulating fan. They
