WINTER FASHIONS.

The winter will bring us bit more change in fashion than we have had in some years, says the fashion editor in the September Good Housekeep- ing.
 once again clothes become of great interest with many occasions on which to wear them Some points are already quite definite. Skirts, for instance, will be a trif1e lOnger-not long but still not quite so short as those of last season. The waist line will be more marked. Frocks will be either girdled at the waist line or at the top of the hips. or the corsaGe will be attached 10 the skirt at that point, the corsage breaking in little folds about the waist with each movement of the wearer.
 Evening frocks with panniers be- low rather close fitting corsa ges will be worn next season. And these pan niers are enormous, the skirts being widely distended at the sides and re- maining flat at the front and back However for street wear a miIder va riety of pannier may be expected.

WASHINGTON, March 29.-Should
the Bolsheviks Of Russia and the Sparta
cans of Germany combine, the Soviet
governmental system would spread over
the world "like wildfre" and destroy
everything, it IS declared in state
mont issued 70 day by the Lithuanian
Natlonal Council in the United States,
The statement indicates that the
Lithuanan Lettish and Esthonian mill
tary forces soon will be united under
& single command for combating Boil
shevism. The Bolshevik troops on the
Lithuanian front, the statement asserts,
are being driven back two OF three
mites daily. The statement follows:
"Lithuania has a fully equipped
volunteer army of 1000 She has more
volunteers than she can equip and
could have an army of $50 coo if equip
ment were available. No one can join
the army without a certificate of good
morals.
The front against the Bolsl1cviks
held by these troops is from Libau to
the north of Shawl and north of Pom
evez. English troops have landed at
Libau and a greater force concentrated
against Wilma The front runs south
east through Ida and thence south ia
the Ukrainian boundary.
"There is a proposal to unity the
command of the Lithuanian, Lettish
and Esthonian armies. The aim OF
Lithuania is to hold Bolshevsm back

comes harmless"

who had succeeded General Krasnoff,
and was at the present time cooperat-
ing with General Denekine.
NJ. Bakhmeteff expressed the belief
that the entire Ukraine would fall
under Bolshevik control. excepting
Odessa. He said this was inevitable,
as the Ukraine has not settled her
agrarlan troubles, and the forces under
Petlura, the Ukranian peasant leader,
are far from being well organized.

Bakhmetef's opinion, the Kolchak
forces are in excellent condition and
viii doubtless advance rapidly into
Bolsheyik territory when the extremely

floods subsidc late in May. The Kolchak
government is able to collect taxes,

evidences OF confidence in Kolchak's

Twenty Slim Feiners
Escape Dublin Prison

DUBLIN. March 90 (By The Asso-
ciated Pressl Twenty Sim Fem pris-
oners. including J. J. Walsh, member of
the British House of Commons, escaped
to-day from Mount Joy prison. The
men used rope TO Chamber over the
walls.
The prisoners were exercising at
about 3 o'clock this afternoon when
some OF them turned on the wardens
and held them down while the others
were arranging rope ladder over the
thirty-foot wall.
The first thing the outside public
noticed was the men sliding down a
rope from the Jail wall to the canal
bank. People quickly collected and
helped the fugitives by holding the
rope down which they were sliding.
AS the military guard came to the aid
of the wardens the escaped prisoners
dashed in various directions.
