RIMANIA NOT TO SIGN

Paris, September 10.-The Rumanian and Serbian delegations to the peace con ference, which failed to sign the Aus trian peace treaty today, had not re- ceived up to this evening any further advices from their governments as to what their attitude toward the signing of the treaty should be. 1t appears that the Rumanians do not expect any such advices, as their decision not to sign the treaty when it contained, as it did, a clause guaranteeing the protection of minorities within territories detached from the former dual monarchy. was a final one.
 The Serbians, however, say the decision as to their attitude now rests with the Belgrade government. It is understood that some of the delegates favor sign ing the treaty despite the clause relat- ing to minorities, but can take no fur ther steps pending instructions from Bel grade.

Once upon a time when Uncle Wig
siiy Longears, the bunny rabbit gem

woods, not far from his hollow stump
bungalow. wondering what sort of an
adventure he would have, he heard. be-
hind a lollypop bush some jolly voices
laughing and shouting
What's that? You didn't know there
was such thing as a lollypop bushf
Why of course there is! A lollypop
bush is one where they get the stick

So Uncle Wigyily heard some jolly
voices behind the lollypop bush. and
one voice said:
Now I'm going TO jump pepper"
"And I'm going to jump salt" said
some one else.
Think I'll jump sugar" said a third
voice.
My. this is very queer thought the
bunny. jumping salt, pepper and
sugar. This must be the grocery store

So Uncle Wiggily peeked around the
corner OF the zoogieberry bush, and
there he saw Susie Littletail, the rab-
bit girl, with Beckie Stubtail. the girl

girl.

"Oh, jumping pepper is jumping very

little slower, and jumping sugar is
slowest of all. We only jump sugar

'Oh. see!' said Uncle Wiggily.
We'll. / think you had better skip and

"Oh. We'll jump pepper and get to

So Uncle Wiggily hoped along the
woodland paths, and Susie, Beckie

They were getting nearer and nearer

INDISPENSABLE.

New York City.-The time was
when the young woman who dressed
on a limited income felt that one of
the things she could get along with
out was an evening coat IL she had d
attractive evening frocks to wear
beneath she could make anything do.
She could bundle herself into her
tweed topcoat, or wear some out-of-
date evening coat that had belonged
to mother or big sister. In feet she
begrudged the money that might
have been spent in an attractive
evening wrap and would far rather
have spent II in more and more
elaborate evening frocks.
But now the evening wrap that
is good looking is indispensable. 1t
| really should be rather gorgeous.
The young girl or woman who goes
about in the evening even skimps
little on her dance and dinner frocks
| in order to have such a wrap, which
has become an extremely important
item of her wardrobe. In fact she
must have one for summer and one
for winter-and as many more as
she can afford besides.
Here is one of turquoise blue
moire that is light in weight albeit
there is a generous bit OF squirrel
used to outline the openings for the
arms. The shirrinE. across the
shoulders introduces considerable
fullness, which is restrained at the
lower edge by more shirring. Two
bows OF ribbon decorate the front in
rather novel way.
And just a word about the fur. It
is to be used quite extensively this
spring and summer. but in way
that does not make 1t irksome to
wear. A squirrel collar would have
been rather too warm but used
along the loose hanging arm slits
as II is here 1t does not add any
considerable warmth to the garment
and very decidedly does add to the
attractivsness and richness of the
wrap.

RED CROSS ASSUMES
CHARGE OF RUSSIANS
Will Protect 100000 Now Held

London (by maiD.-The Interna-
tional Red Cross has accepted re-
sponsibility for care and protection
of nearly 100000 Russians ,pris-
onered in Germany, according to
dispatches received here today by
the former Russian embassy.
What to do with these prisoners,
among whom Bolshevik agitators
have been at work, is a question
that began to press for solution
Immediately with the signing of
the armistice. Poland feared lest
the Germans would release hordes
of desperate, half-starved Russians
to swarm over the country.
Under present plans, none of the
prisoners will be permitted to re-
turn to Russia just now. Hundreds
are i'll and in need of immediate
medical attention.
Some migration is expected to

government has arranged to assist
