PROLONC WAR INEAST AFRICA
 IT IS CHARGED

LONDON, March 10 Correspond
 ence of the Associated Press) .-Ac-
 cording to information received here | from Capetown a demand has sprung up there for searching investigation into the manner in which the British campaign was conducted in east and
 central Africa after General Shuts
 had relinquished command to come to
 England. When he left it was be- lieved that the campaign had been virtually concluded
 Owen Letcher, formerly an officer in the East African expeditionary force, reviews the campaign in a series of articles in the Cape Times and strongly advocates a commission of inquiry, Belief prevails in Cape town, it is said, that the sport of watching at Dar-es- -Salaam and ele- phant hunting in the interior were largely responsible for the prolonga- tion of the fighting.
 The campaign is said to have ex- ceeded the cost of the Boer war, amounting to about $1,500,000, To the casualties, which were heavy in killed and wounded, must be added many men who will suffer from fever for the rest of their lives.
 The work of the Portuguese colonial forces is criticised, also the huge headquarters staffs maintained by the British hundreds of miles from the scenes of the actual fighting.
 Discussing the Portuguese, Letcher writes: "In common justice to our forces it must be set on record that not only did the Portuguese colonial army put up poor defence against the marauding Germans, but that their presence was very substantial ad- vantage to Won Lettow German com inasmuch as they frequently embarrassed our movements and sur rendered to the enemy guns, rifles, machine guns and supplies of which the Germans were badly in need.
 "The engagement at Nhamacurra, about thirty miles from Quelimane, which was fought in the beginning of July, 1918, was a particularly disast- rous event for us, since after the Por- tuguese had lost two guns, with lot of other equipment, and the native troops, despite the efforts of their of ficers, had broken in disorder, the enemy attacked Major Gore Browne's King African Rifles detachment and, largely through the employment of the two captured guns, inflicted a severe defeat on us."

MANUFACTURE IRON CROSSES
 AS SOUVENIRS

COBLENz, Feb. 22 Correspondence of the Associated Press. A factory at Pforzheim, near Karlsruhe. has been working day and night recently turning out iron crosses to be sold to American soldiers and other troops eager for souvenirs of the war, ac- cording to travellers from Germany who have arrived in Coblenz. While the Berlin authorities have discour- aged the idea of the Germans selling iron crosses and other war decorations to soldiers of the allies, quite a busi- ness has been built up in this line in the zones occupied by the British, French and Americans. In CoblenZ and other cities the burgomasters have appealed to the self-respect of the tradespeople in endeavors to stamp out the business of selling the various German medals and officers insignia
 But the souvenir business thrives nevertheless, the merchants ill the neutral areas reporting that they can purchase all the iron crosses and other decorations in any quantity desired. These are all brought from unoccupied Germany, the supply in the occupied part of the Rhineland having been ex- hausted soon after the allies took up their positions at the three bridge heads.
 Owing to the fact that the authori- ties will not issue permits for the shipment of honor medals into the oc- cupied zones, travellers say that iron crosses by the hundred and other relics of the war are being smuggled across the border in great numbers.
 In Coblenz during the latter part of January iron crosses sold in the stores for from to 12 marks each. When the Americans first came to Coblenz the crosses were valued at from 5 to marks. During the war around the prisoner stockades, iron crosses were sold to the Americans at prices ranging from 50 francs to 200 francs.
 The factory at Pforzheim which has been manufacturing the crosses for the souvenir hunters is the same one which had a contract from the Ger man government for years for the making of the iron crosses given to the German soldiers for acts of bravery on the battlefield.

SUICIDE THREATENING
 IN ENGLAND

LONDON, Feb. 28 Correspondence of the Associated Press). Race sui eide, as the result of the "aristocracy of labor" will be the outcome of the movement by which labor now seeks to destroy capital, according to Dean 1nge of St. Paul's cathedral, in an ad- dress recently at meeting of the Eugenics Education Society Eng lands dense population, he asserted, will then disappear and the country will revert to the quiet rural England of 175O, with London, bereft of her wealth, the spiritual capital of the world"
 Neither voluntary restriction of births, which only lowers the death rate,' he said, "nor famine, nor res- tilence, nor war has much effect in reducing numbers. The late war cost twelve million lives from the separa- tion of husbands and wives, in addi- tion to about eight million killed Rut those losses may be made good in few years
 But at home we must face the fact that the upper and middle classes probably will be destroyed by preda- tory taxation. We are witnessing the erection of new privileged class an arlstocracy of labor-which will become exclusive and conservative when it has won the privilege of ex- plotting the public for it's own profit It probably will refuse to tax itself for the benefit of the proletariat, so that when the loot of the minority is gone we shall no longer support the waste products of civilization.
 From the eugenic point of view this will be an advantage, but since the cheap races must end by cap- turing our trade, the privileged work CTS must themselves decay. The trade unionist probably will be allowed to place only one son in his union, and will take care not to have more The industrial employment of women also will lower the birth rate. Thus. in every class there will be a tendency to progressive decrease."

MEXICO ROUNDS UP
 BIG CRIMINAL BAND

MEXICO CITY, March 29.--The abandoned penal colony on the group of islands off the coast of Topic, known as Las Tres Marias, it is ex- pected, will be re-established to ac- commodate the small army of habitu- al criminals which the police of the capital have rounded up in their latest raids. A wave of holdups and rob- berries which recently swept Mexico City resulted in a general cleanup which, with less than few weeks, brought in about 500 prisoners, many of whom had escaped from prison.

Fashionable Sports Coats
Women's Skirts
of Marked Distinction to Wear
With Sports Coats

1t is quite a revelation to visit the Skirt
Store and see the many charming things that
are particularly adapted for use with the shorter
sports coats. Plaids!-Well, we never knew
that it was possible for plaids to be so varied,
smart, artistic and, many of them, really beau
tiful!
Light blue with pearl gray, for instance,
forms one of the lovelier plaids; then brown and
blue with touch of red makes one of the
brighter, more striking plaids-but one may
choose as subdued or as vivid plaid as one likes!
And the skirts, themselves, are made in many
ways-box- -pleated, accordion -pleated, in plain
pleats or gathered but in one thing they are
uniform: they are all exceptionally well tailored.
