pARISIAN STYLES
AGAIN BEING SHOWN
Three Hundred American Buyers At
tend First Style Show Since War Be-


gan.
Paris, Aug. l5.-Paris first real dis
play OF styles since the war began is
being attended by about 300 American
buyers who, however, arc showing
themselves TO be more independent of
the dictates OF French dressmakers
than ever before.
Brown, according to the new mod
els, is agai min marked favor. Soft
: materials are used generally and
tlounccs. pannicrs and the design of
the pcw models tend toward the
strictly feminine appearance. There
is not the slightest suggestion of the
masculine tailor-madc effects Of the
past.
Paris is clinging to skirts hanging
seven 10 Eight inches from the ground
American buyers, the drcssmakcrs
say, are rdiculing the shortncss of
the gown although frankly admitting
American skirts have been too long.
1t is said TO b" likely American women
will be offered a compromise i'm
lengths. One Of the prominent Amer
lean buyers said today that mo we'll
formed woman looks we'll in really
lons skirt and it cannot be graceful"
but he laughed at a drcssmakcr's sug-
GcstiOn that Americans want long
skirts because American women do
not have pretty ankles.
unp,nn b,yn il,n -nn,i
ttcst ankles and feet in the world"
the buyer replied "and they also arc
the best shod, but they realize that
the extremely short skirts are ridi-
culcd and they believe in modera-
ton"
Although the Americans designed
their own styles to great extent
during the war, they apparently arc
finding much that is worth while in
the Paris display rooms, although
viewing things from newly nde-
pendent point Of view.
Passport difficulties, it was said,
kept the number of American buyers
from being much larger.
Inc buyers nave DCCn busy all this
week viewing the new models and
they will continue to attend displays
next week when some Of the most i'm
Eortant firms will show their winter
styles.
Brown seeems to be the prevailing
color, the buyers say, and is shown
in scores Of various shades--brick,
terra Gotta and burnt biscuit. There
are also Shown soft shades OF gray,
raven blue, tetc-de-nere and moles.
Scores of the beautiful models who
are displaying gowns in the drawing
rooms of the celebrated dressmakers
do not wear cOrscts and make every
effort to preserve the soft contour of
their figures.
The styles generally show a slight
fullness on the hips in the form of
soft panniers with pleats and ac-
Gordon pleats. Flounces are applied
in such a way as to preserve the
outline of the figures and the straight
hem Of the skirt.

Editorial
An old employee of ours said
recently in talking about her
former work here, yet, today,
somehow, even with the memory
of that day of days in June,
with its orange blossoms and
Lohengrin, even with him and
our kiddies and the home en-
vironment that makes life
happy and worth while, my
mind reverts to my L. & B.
days and to my old associates"
Bless her heart, it makes us
feel happy that she feels SO
kindly toward US. but. much as
we'd like to have her, we'd
rather see her caring for her
kiddies and her husband than
behind one of our counters.
We always feel toward en-
ployes who leave us pretty
much the same as a college
professor feels toward the
pupils who pass through his
classes.
We glory in their successes
and sympathize with them in
their troubles.

Nations Biggest
Train Cut Felt
Entire Country Suffers
Hardship; Saue $4,000
Tons Of Coal a Day

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-Railroad
travellers were brought face to face
to-day with the most severe curtail-
ment in passenger service the nation
ever has known. While on many East
yesterday, it was not until to-day that
tion began to be felt in other parts O
the country. In still other sections
many trains made their last trips TO
hight.
Railroad administration officials esti-
mated from informal reports received
from regional directors that approx
mately 100000 train miles will have
been cut from the passenger sched-
ules each day before the end of the
week. The saving of fuel, based on
.his estimate of the reduction in ser
vice, was placed at about is 600 tons a
day. Exhnu tive study is being made
to ascertain whether additional curtail
ment can be effected without causing
the public too much dircomtturc.
While Railroad Administration off,
cias have not received detail ed state
ments as to the identity of trains elm
mated, reports showed that general
revision of passenger train service had
been,. or would be made in every sec
ton. Luxurious transcontinental trains
hitherto run great distances without
stops, are being made to do the work
If .oca.s. So-ca led express trains carry
ing only s'eeping car equipment have
had their time extended between ter
minals and coaches added permitting
the anulment of slower trains.

Connecticut Industries
To Continue Operations; ;
Haze Plenty Of Coal
SDccial CorrcspOndenoe

HARTFORD. Conn, Dec. "a can
vass of the state indicated tonight
that practically none of Connecticuts
industries would be affected by the
Garfield fuel order. This is due to the
foresight of Connecticut factory man
ayers in obtaining large consignments
Of soft coal last spring and summer
and also to the growing use Of wa,er
power and fuel oil. 1t is rep orted that
Hartford New Haven and Waterbury
are fairly well fixed for coal. which did
not come through the fuel administra
ton, and it is believed that Bridgeport
and .he rest of Fairfield County is m
ilarly cared for. The State Public
Utilities Commission o-day issued an
order requesting that all electric signs
be cut off, pending the coal crisis, and
most of the Offices of the big insurance
companies turned off their lights this
afternoon at a o'clock
At a meeting of Hartford County
manufacturers to-day it was decided
o continue running as usual A tele-
gram was sent to Dr.. Garfield explain
ing that nearly every factory in Con-
necticut was supplied with coal bought
o.her than tn. ough the iuel admin s.
tration and asking if it were no. proper
FOR these plants to remain open, using
coal SO procured.

Bitter Fight on
If Miners Balk
Even More Drastic Fuel
Restr. ctions Expected
as Surplus D,Uindles
New York Tribune
Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON, Dec 9.-Offical
Washington was without advice to-
night from Indianapolis to indicate
why the representative S of the United
Mine Workers adjourned their confer
ence with Attorney General Palmer
without accepting President Wilson's
suggestions for settlement of their
differences with the operators. Strong
hopes were expressed that the miners
would agree to the Presidents pro-
posals. What may happen if the miners
do not accept the White House pan
no official cared to predict
1t is we'll known here that the btu
many parts of the country, and Presi-
dent Wilson was brought into the con-
troversy only as a last resort, in the
hope that he would be able to convince
the miners that it is their patriotic
duty to go back to work and permit
arbitration of their grievances.
Surplus Believed Half Gone
Apparently, if the miners do not ac-
cept the White House proposals there
is nothing left the government but to
fight it out to the bitter end, calling
upon the people of the country to save
every ton Of coal possible, and placing
new and more drastic restrictions upon
use of bitumno coal. Just how far
the surplus of 22,000,000 tons existing
when the strike began has been de-
pleted was MOI known tonight, but it
was understood to be about ha.f gone.
With production running on about
SO per cent of normal, it would not
take long, in the severe winter days
that are predicted to wipe this out.
There was much interest when the
Wilson proposals became public in the
fact that the President had suggested
that the commission he is to name
might inquire into the reas onableness
of the miners wages and the reason
ableness of the price of coal. No on
in official life would say that tn
leaves the door open for an increas
in the price to the public, but any com.

Says U. S. Is Unprepared
For AeriuL Var il, Mexico
Major Foul0is Declares Deserts
and Mountains You'd Call
for Effective Auiation Force

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-Should cir
cumstances require armed intervention
in Mexico the United States would find
it necessary to begin anew it's aviation
program, the House Military Subj Com
mittee on Aviation was told to-day by
Major Benjamin D. Foulois, former
chief of the American Expeditionary
Force Air Service.
"The most dangerous enemy the
army would face in Mexico" he said
would not be the Mexican. but his
deserts, his mountains and his climate
and to conquer the first two menaces
large and efficient air force would be
necessary"
Advocating a single head for all gov
ernment air services, Major Fou ois
told the committee that unless the ma
ton fostered aviation through the ex-
~ensive use of aircraft, not only in the
army and navy, bat in the postal, fish
:ries and the forest services, the nation
would have no means of obta.n ming
proper aerial weapons in time Of
emergency.

The latter said yesterday that the
transportation Of coal to this city, be-
ing lightered from New Jersey was under
the juri -diction Of L. w Baldwin, Of

Man Who Bailed Jenkins
Once in Business Here
New York Exporter Says Han
sens Only Motive Was TO
Keen u, s. Out of War

Loyalty to the United States was the
only motive that prompted j. Salter
Hansen to furnish bail for William O.
Jenkins, the American Consular Agent
N Mexico, who was released from
rison by the Carranzistas last Thurs
day night IN the midst Of a stormy in
terchange Of notes between the State
Department at Washington and the
Mexican government.
This is the view taken by p O.
Hagen, exporter, with Offices at 80
Maiden Lane this city, who was with
Hansen more than month in Mexico
City last summer and who came to
know Hansen we'll.
81 am certain that Hansen bailed
Jenkins for no other reason than that
given by him in an interview in Mex
ico City" said Mr.. Hagen yesterday.
"He was determined that the United
States should not be drawn into an
international and costly wrangle when
the paltry sum of $500 could 'stave it
off.
"Hanscn told me his home was in
Seattle, a though he had travelled all
over the United States and Europe a
theatrical nan. | believe he at one

France during the war, although he
was exceedingly modest and never
said much about it,"

across the hall from each other and a
frequent visitor to Hansen's room wa

Hagen said and travels through MoX

at his own expense, to teach MeXicans

Hansen were very close frieuds.'

to make further inquiries into this
whole matter and to review not only
the reasonableness Of the wages at
which the miners start to work, but
also the seasonableness Of the gov
ernment prices for coal. Such a
tribunal should within sixty days
make it's report, which could be used
as basis for negotiating for wage
agreement. | must make it clear,
however, that the government cannot
give it's aid to any further investiga-
tion until there is a general resump-
tion of work.
"I ask every individual miner to
give his personal thought to what
say. / hope he understands fully
that he will be hurting his own. in
terest and the interest of his family,
and will be throwing countless other
laboring men out of employment If
he shall continue the present strike,
and, further, that he will create an
unnecessary and unfortunate preju-
dice against organized labor which
will be injurious to the best interests
Of working men everywhere.
"WOODROW WILSON,"
Palmer Discusses Proposal
Attorney General Palmer in giving
out the Presidents proposal said:
"The President Saturday was about
to issue a statement to the country
reciting the facts in relation to the
strike situation and making an appeal
to the miners to go back to work.
"Mr. Lewis and Mr.. Green called on
me that day and | showed them the
Presidents statement. They finally
agreed to its terms as far as they were
concerned and called meeting of their
official boards to consider it, at which
time they agreed to urge its ac-
ceptance.
"a memorandum was prepared, its
form being agreed to by Mr.. Lewis and
myself, embodying IN brief the Presi-
dents proposal and the action which
should be taken by the miners. The
Presidents statement will be presented
to the miners this afternoon and l am
assured that the action indicated will
be taken"

mission created by the President might
find in it justification for approving an
increase.
Both operators and union oficials in
Washington were concerned with the
makeup of the commission. 1t was be-
lieved that Mr.. Lewis and Mr.. Green
have been assured that any commits
sion made will be satisfactory to them
and it is possible similar assurances
have been given the operators.
Reports that DR.. Harry Garfield, the
fuel administrator, might quit his office
as result Of Presidential action in the
coal case were not generally credited.
DR.. Garfield declined to discuss the
matter, but his friends say that he has
not been displcased with the active ap-
pearance of the White House in the
field, both because it has taken the
burden Off his shoulders entirely and
because Mr.. Wilson has not overruled
the decision of DR.. Garfield.

The announcement that the Mexican
committee is opposed to Intervention
was made by Senator Fall in reply to a
telegram received by him from Mr..
Oliver, who informed the Senator that
the Mexican newspapers were attack
ing him as the leading advocate Of
American Intervention. Senator Falls
replied as follows:
"You are fully authorized to repeat
and if necessary publish in Mexico my
statement that. although have been
called an interventionist, am posi-
lively opposed to armed intervention
re ort, and that my desire is for some
friendly solution of pending questions
between the Mexican people and the
government and the people Of the
United States.
81 am eXerting every effort to bring
about such a solution that neither
armed intervention nor war may ever
be necessary. Remember that in the
Presidents letter to me he does not
indicate that he will not break of re-
lations and withdraw recognition, but
that he is gravely considering the
committees memorandum"
No official information had been re-
ceived by the State Department to-day
from Mexico City concerning tn
answer of the Carranza government t.
he American notes in the Jenkins
episode. 1t is assumed that Chargd
Summerlin will Immediately notify the
department here when the Mexican
Foreign Office transmits the reply.
The State Department was informed
to-day of the robbing Of passenger
train on the west coast of Mexico by
bandits. Included in the passengers
robbed was James Cowan, of Fort

was compelled to give up $1,700 il
