celved yesterday from Berlin.

standing that the ultimate disposition of
the vessels by the terms of peace would
IN no way be prejudiced, and in
order to make this a fact, they are
being administered in the meantime
in trust for the Associated Govern
ments as a whole. They will fly the flag
Of the Allied Maritime Transport service
as we'll as the national flag of the country
undertaking their management. The
Council appointed delegates to proceed
to Spa together with representatives of
the food departments and the naval
authorities of the Governments to meet
the representatives of the German
Government on February 18th. and
arrange with regard to the delivery
of vessels which the German Govern
ment was bound to hand over under
the armistice of January 10Th. and
the Treves agreement of Jany. 18th.
The preparation for a considerable num-
Der OF vessels has been proceeding,
and about $50. 900 tons lightweight ton

Belfast, 15th.-Troops took possession
of the gas works and electric power sta
ton in this city early this morning. The
Mayor in a proclamation says it is now
assured that military support will be Civ

to carry on municipal services.
London, Feby. 15th.-The Industrial
situation is marking time, pending the
meeting to be held on T esday of the con-
s~ultative committee of the labourite tri-
Pile alliance, the ministers federation.
the railWaymen's union and the transport
workers federation. At the meeting it is
understood there will be a discussion of
the question of common action. Mr..
Lloyd-George is %anxiously interested in
the situation, realizing that labour trou-
bIes may seriously retard national recon
struction and trade development. For
this reason, it is understood, he will pro-
badly prolong his stay in England, in
stead of returning almost Immediately to
Paris. The latest outbreak of discomfort
is among the employees of the Post Office
and the Telegraph and Telephone servi-
ces, all of which are in state of unrest.
Ship builders and engineers at Mersey-
side have voted by a large majority
against striking to enforce a reduction

having TAKEN possession OF the gas
works and the electric power stations
early in the morning. Infantry was
stationed inside the plants with machine
guns commanding the entrance. Most of
our workers who had been ordered out by
the strike committee, were back at work
by noon. The sudden change in the
situation passed off quietly. The work
ers yesterday by ballot rejected the pro-
posals OF the employers by more than
two thousand majority.
Basic, Feby. 18th. Count Won BRONX
dorf-Rantzau, the German Foreign Sec
rotary, in discussing Germany's foreign
policy in the new National Assembly at
Welmar yesterday, declared that he had
resisted and would continue to resist all
attempts to make Germany demobilize
her military forces. Phillip Csheidemann,
the Chancellor in the new Germantown,
IN his reference to Austria's desire to
join Germany said: I'VE desire nosreluc-
tant adherents, and by the same token,
nobody wishing to join us should be pre-
vented. There was almost a threat in
his warning. The Entente is able to
force any kind of peace on Germany but
II 1t is an unjust peace, seventy million
people in their hearts will never forget

Savannah, Feb. 18th, -Fed by large
quantities of rosin and turpentine, fire
late yesterday destroyed the plant of the
Southern Fertilizer and Chemical Com
pany and burned a path three city blocks
long and about two hundred feet wide
through the terminals of the seaboard
air line railway, Hutchinson Island, with
a loss estimated in millions of dollars.
Cotton, naval stores, sugar, lumber, and
nitrate Of soda, added to the intensity
OF the flames, which were under control
after five hours of fighting. The efforts
of the fremen were hindered by a thick
suffocating smoke, arising from the
burning rosin and t~urpentine, and by a
Wind which reached gale proportions.
Railway officials were unable yet to esti-
mate the loss to the terminals and mate
rails stored there. The nitrate of soda
burned was valued at 81. 500, 900. The
terminals is located across the Savannah
River from the business section of the
river.
Coblenz, Feby. 15th-The Allies have
taken steps to gain possession of
one of the long-range guns which
the Germans used to fire upon Paris.

Definite Waistline
Follows The
Chinese Effect

High time to think of the one
piece frock for warm spring days,
says the busy woman as she takes
inventory of her wardrobe. And re-
luctantly she gives UP the chemise
frock for its latest rival, the frock
with the well defined waistline. For
some time there has been spirit OF
unrest among the designers in Paris
for they had quite tired - the
straight lines of the chemise frock.
Some new lines must be created so
encouraged by the success of the
"Camargo silhouette" they gradual
ly frightened in the frock at the
waistline until now each dress may
be referred to in regards to its bo-
dice and skirt.
One of the prettiest models shown
is developed in navy blue twill and
has a snug fittinng bodice. The
skirt is rather full about the hips by
reason of slight drapery, but become
quite narrow as 1t descends in the
direction OF the ankles. The sleeves
are Long. tight and dart fitted. The
only trimming on the dress is set
in vest Of pale blue green Georgette
which is finely tucked horizontally.
This one little touch OF trimming
and color combined gives the frock
q tone Of individuality.

RIVAL NIGHTGowNs

The increased use Of pajamas has
given rise to many new and varied
designs. They are welcomed by the
fair sex because they are quite COM
Portable and also very easy, to make
at home. Tho younger girls want
nothing bat pajamas for they may
romp and play about in perfect ease.
Some are made in one piece from
the neck to ANGLE and the attrac-
tiveness "a increased when they arc
developed in contrasting colors.
This effect 10 obtained by banding
the edges with satin ribbon of some
effective color and then adding a
bit OF embroidery of the same shade,
SEPARATE SKIRTS
The separate skirt never will be
passe, IL for no other reason than it
Is a resaonbei excuse for the crea-
ton and wearing of pretty blouses.
This does not mean, however, that
the skirt is merely background
for the blouse, for at times the in
terest in the skirt is more impress
sive than that in the blouse. The
separate skirt shown here is devel-
oped in an attractive combination
of plaid and plain linene. The blouse
is equally attractive and the simple
.neckine rs worthy of note.
The elaborate embroidery designs
on the skirt section OF the Rus
sian blouse or the other frock COM
pletly transforms it from plain
into an elaborate afternoon frock
Touches such as this do much to-
ward giving variety and charm TO
the wardrobe.

1t is easy enough to be happy
When your car "purrs' along like u

But there's no Joy at all
In car that will stall
When the battery goes all wrong.
For there's nothing so tests the

II there's no way to make the thing

And one thinks OF the smile,
That mile after mile,
Made mot'ring a care free lark.
For magnetic ignition is certain
1t ne'er causes worry or plight.
And it's better to know
When a-touring you go,
That you wont be hung up all night.

as, | do not contend that the service
is perfect, it is far from being as
bad as some people picture It.
Referring to what the writer claims
to be the standard gas service We
CURED by State Corporation Commits
sions, ETC., would say that the specI-
fications set forth in the communi-
cation are lived up to by the City Gas
Works generally, However, there are
times when the gas Is net free from
tile traces of sulphurettcd hydrogen
and ammonia, as is 50 in Il great
many gas companies, of much larger
size, where we would expect 70 find
the very best service. We hope to cor
rect this to a very great extent ard
practically eliminate this complaint
as soon as we are able to replace our
purifying boxes, which we have out
grown, with l;s.ger ones.
Il must be realized that the city OF
Alexandria has increased very much
in population recently and, whereas It
is the policy of the Committee on
Light to have reserve capacity at the
works to take care Of normal increas-
cs and fluctuations in output; this IN
crease was abnormal and came at d
time when, on account of so many
men being drafted into the army, Ia
Dor became very scarce and it was en-
tremely difficult to procure cftlclenc
help. have been informed that two
gas works. much larger than our
works. and in the State cf Virginia,
were shut down and the consumers
had to 90 without gas. At least, our
consumers have not had this to COM
plain of.
The Committee contemplated hav-
ing the new manufacturing plant IN
operation before this increase in nop-
ulation became SO great. The work
was started before the increase start
ed to come, but on account OF the
scarcity of labor the works were not
completed until the early part of TINS
wear, and even then there were certain
pieces of apparatus that could net
+
be placed in commission Immediately
The old plant was in bad condit!on'
owing to the fact that we had to run
t longer than was contemplated. The
consumption of gas increased with the
increase in population. The old plant
was not Of sufficient capacity to take
care of the needs, and the new plant
for the above mentioned reason could
not be put into Service. There was
lust cause for complaint at this tins
and We got great deal Of It. Tho
plant is now Of sufficient capacity anl
in such shape as 20 amply take care
of our present needs. but il IS onLi
a question Of short time when we vii
have to again enlarge il. This eH
