DoFF HISTORIC DRESS
Men Of Rumsnla Wear Red eros

Men OF RumanIa Wear Red Cross
Garments.
Bucharest, June 2S.--(Cor. A. P.)---
For the first time since Rumania, as the
ancient province of Dacia, adopted the
short white skirt OF the Roman legion
aries as her especial costume, the men
of Rumania have changed their style
Of wearing apparel.
The ancient costume since the time
Of the Romans has been short white
tunic, supplemented with thick white
wool "bag-trousers," and a heavy
padded coat whose lines OF rich embroi-
derry exactly follow the lines Of the old
Roman body armor.
The German Bulgar- Turk looters car
ried away as many OF the embroidered
garments as they could find. The cloth
ing brought from France by the Amer
lean Red Cross has taken the place OF
the stolen goods.
Hospital garments OF all kinds. bath
robes, pajamas. hospital Jackets are be-
ing worn by the men in the villages In
place of their historic national costume.
A gray wooden hospital bath robe may
not be as picturesque as an embroi-
dered tunic. but judging by the pleased
look on the faces of the peasants as
they leave the American Red Cross dis
tributing station. the substitute gar
ment is giving perfect satisfaction.

themselves, but for their children.

OF the children as narrated by Mr..

''Krochmalna Is the most CHASTITY
street In Jewish Warsaw, and that is

said in favor Of Krochmalna Is that
its tenements are low and ram

height Of its buildings Krochmalna
has little to its credit. Hundreds OF

by starvation as you can that of
plant by giving 1t too little water and
sunshine. The terrible thing about
the children of Warsaw is that they
do not all of them succumb quickly
of starvation. They wither. Have
you ever seen one human flower in
the slow process of whitening for
want of nourishment? In Warsaw
you may see thousands. And in
Krochmalna children are only born
to wither before they can even feebly
blossom.
1.-THE choice. II you are looking for
poverty at its worst on Krochmalna
street, is hard to make. We asked the
admiring throng that followed us down
this malodorous lane where there was
the greatest poverty. Everybody is dy-
ing of starvation here they said. We
selected an entrance at random. It led
into a dirty. unspeakable courtyard.
