New Service Programme
Had To BE Drafted

The Y NJ. C. A. was confronted with
the problem of instituting an entire
programme Of service Each Of the
principal concentrations of troops pre-
sented distinct problem. In Ger
many the troops Of the Army of Oc-
cupation showed at first remarkable
tendency to fratcrnizc with the local
population; the troops of the Second
and Third armies were biletcd for
the greater part in small towns, in
crampcd and uncomfortable quarters,
and the difficulty Of finding suitable
accommo odations in the lie Mans area
was such as to cause many thousands
Of officers and men to be acutcy un-
comfortable.
The army programme in the days
Immediately following dcmobilization
called for several hours drill daily and

The physical exercise to which they
had been accustomed during the com

doughboy was such that it was found

lfaly's Colonial
Y enturcs a Failure

Meantime, eager to demonstrate
the right to be considered a great
power and jealous of the progress
made by her neighbors, Italy
plunged into colonial ventures.
which led to disaster in Abyssinia.
while between France and Italy
there was fought commercial war
fare rulnous to the new Italian
state. Not until the opening of
the twentieth century, when Bis
marck had left the helm, did Italy
begin herself insensibly to drift
away from the Central Powers.
The creation of the entente cor
dale between France and Great
Britain, the development of this
understanding into a practical al
lance, changed the situation en-
tirc]y for the Italians. Were they
to participate in general war
against France and Great Britain,
Italian coasts, Italian ports, Ital-
ian fleets would be destroyed no
matter what were the results Of
the land fighting. Moreover, An
glo-french agreements were divid-
ing Northern Africa and without
Anglo-French consent Italy could
not hope to acquire even that Tri-
poltan remnant which remained.
At Algeciras, therefore, Italy was
found siding with France and Great
Britain rather than with Germany,
and her reward was permission to
occupy Tripoli. Still in the Penin-
suia there was a strong anti-French
sentiment. German industry and
German finance continued to in
crease their holdings in industrial
Northern Italy and had it not been
for the still unsettled question of
Trieste and the Trentino it is hardly
to be doubted that Italy would have
been found in the world war stand
ing with her allies. But this was an
insurmOuntable barrier.

for idle hands to do, the military au-
thorities turned to the American Y.
VI. c. A. with an urgent request that
they speed up the production of occu-
patton and entertainment for the many
idle hours.
Accordingly, instead of turning its
attention to plans for the winding up
of it's activities and the rehabilitation
of it's personnel, the "Y" was called upon
to increase its personnel by almost 40
per cent and to develop every branch
of its activities. On November 13 it
had in its service overseas a total
Of 4,510 workers, and by April 16 this
number had been increased to 6,239.
The Y. NJ. C. A., then, had not only
to abandon a very large part of its
permanent plant and set up overnight,
as it were, a new plant to meet the re-
quircmcnts, but so to enlarge it's pro-
part of the doughboys' time, thereby
attempting to fill the place in sustain
ing army morale formerly played by
the tactics Of the training camp or the
labor Of the trenches.
In this intensified programme Of the
"Y" the military authorities cvinced
great interest and showed themselves
eager to aid all phases of the work
To this end a number Of officers il

signed to cooperate with the Y. NJ. c. a

French Industry Revived by
Their Heavy Purchases

Connected with the eouipping of
these soldier shows there is an inter
esting story of rapidly revived indus
tries in war-rdden France, for all such
stocks had dwinded during the war al
most to the vanishing point, manufact-
ure having been suspended. Agents
were sent out to purchase all available
supplies, even to canvasslng the small
shops and drug stores throughout Paris
and other cities. Factories were re-
opened and orders placed for their entire
output throughout France and Swtzer-
land and other neutral countries. Man.
dolins and banjos, however, had to be
imported, since the best are obtanapie
only in America.

Jealousy Between
French and Italians

Between Italy and Austria there
survived, therefore, not alone bit
terness born of ancient Italian
wrongs, but also an everlasting ami
mostly growing out of Austrian
possession Of Italia Irredenta. In
the very nature of things it seemed
inevitable that Italy would ally her
self with France and that the two
Latin nations, supported in time
perhaps, by the British, would
stand against the central empires
and seek ever to regain "lost prov
inces' and conquer unredeemed
lands.
This did not happen. On the con-
trary, jealousy between the French
and the Italians. as members of the
same Latin family, promptly de-
veloped. The French bitterly re-
sented the failure Of the Italians,
for whose liberation French armies
recently had fought, to support
France in her hour of peril Italy
on her part saw France turning
from Europe to Northern Africa
and to lands which had once been
the scene of successful Latin col
onization and there rebuilding an
empire. The seizure of Tunis by
the French in 1881 was the signal
for an outburst in. the Peninsula,
which had as consequence the
construction of that Triple Ali
ance of Austria, Germany and Italy
under the clever manipulation of

By Frank II. Simonds

TN A very real sense future
peace in Europe depends upon
l. the policy pursued by the ltal-
ian people, and it is manifest
that alone of the four Western pow
ers associated in the victory over
Germany, Italy is not only dissat-
jsfed. but frankly getting back tow
ard her old German alliance and
thereby pointing the way to re-
organization Of Europe under that
system of rival alliances which led
inevitably to the world war.
ANY examination of the Italian
situation necessitates turning back
ward little to the conditions under
which Italy entered the war and
indeed, the conditions under which
Italy at last became unified ma
ton and a great power. When in
1870, following the French defeats,
Napoleon III withdrew his troops
from Rome and the Italians entered
the Eternal City, the unifcation Of
Italy was mainly achieved.
After 1900 years of servitudc to
alien masters, after innumerahle di-
visions and parcelments Of their
patrimony, the people of the Italian
peninsula found themselves once
more possessing their own country
from the Alps southwark, save in
the northeast corner, where Aus
tria still maintained the Trentino
menace and an mistaken grip upon
Trieste
New-York tribune., 1919-07-27
Jealous of Other
Allied Extensions

The Italians therefore saw the
British acquire Egypt, the major
fraction of German African colo
nies and her Asiatic islands, and oc-
cupying Mesopotamia, Palestine
and Arabia. They saw the French
regain Alsace-Lorraine, acquiring
some measure Of title to the Saar
Basin, completing their title to Mo
rocco and acquiring the Kamerun,
portion of the Togo and Syria,
while their far more modest claims
met with violent opposition from
America. American opposition had
at least the tacit sympathy Of An
glo-French public opinion and Of
fetal spokesmen.
In particular the Italians resent
ed the fact that British, French and
American sympathy was unqualified
ly given to the Jugo- Slavs in their
Adriatic aspirations, although the
Austrian and Hungarian fractions
Of the new JugoSlav people had
fought against Italy and for the
Austro-German alliance with a
ferocity and determination hardly
surpassed in the war. But though
the Croatians, the Slovenians and
the Dalmatians were enemy people
who had fought their armies and
inflited heavy losses upon their
troops, yet the Italians now beheld

furnish the necessary musical instru.
ments and supplies, costumes ana
coaches, the soldier show soon came
into its merited prominence.
An experienced "Y" man was placed in
charge of the development of these
shows, and a complete scheme of re-
gional competitive contests was insti
tuted, with a view to putting the win
ming shows on the road-hrst within
the limits of the army district in which
they originated, and later, if they
made good, in other armies, with the
prospect of an eventual engagement on
the Paris circuit.

SMALL HATS

There are some women who never
feel smartly dressed for the street unless
they are wearing q small hat. This
does not mean that the small hat is any
smarter-simply that some women feel
smarter when wearing it, and there Is no
denying the fact that when autumn winds
begin to blow it is vastly easier to Keep
ones locks trim and in place under
small hat than large one.
Undoubtedly it would be very hard for
a good many women ever to give up the
small hat. Yet there are times Wnen
small hats are quite out Of fashion. a
couple of decades ago no one but old
women or widows in their weeds wore
small hars, and those small hats were
bonnets. When the so-called toque came
In 1t was a real novelty. So you see, the
small hat may 90 out OF style.
And there are those who say that with
the dress silhouette tending whittier 1t
now is the small hat will simply have to
20. If we are to wear skirts that give
the effect of broadness through the hips
we will look absurd in our small hats.
The only way to finish the picture as it
should be finished will be to wear VIDE
brimmed hats or very tall hats. The
very tall headdress of the period of
Louis XIV in France was worn to coun-
teract the dwarfing effect of the wide-
hipped pannier frock and when full skirts
were in vogue some u or Is years ago
hats that were extremely wide-so wide
that you could not have worn one into
a telephone booth without holding your
head sidewise-came into vogue.
However for the present there seems
to be little chance that the wide hipped
silhouette will have anything to do with
| our tailored costumes. For street the
| straight up and down silhouette will per-
sist and there are those who say that
the distended hip could never succeed for
street wear in these days of rapid transit
elevators and subways. Even if you 60
about in your sedan or limousine you
| would find it inconvenient for day wear
| to have on suit that would make it
| impossible for you to occupy your little
corner in crowded elevator or to
squeeze into some Of those close pas
| sages that every one does have to en-
country in going about BY rail.

Rich brocades, beaded fabric and Sc
quins are in favor for evening gowns for
the coming winter. The designs Of most
of the fabrics are usually so rich and
elaborate that no trimming is needed to
embellish them. The French influence
is seen more in the evening gowns than
in the street frocks or suits. It has
always been customary to go sleeveless or
very near sleeveless in the evening and
so the present Paris fad of no sleeves
is readily adopted by the American de-
signers of formal dinner gowns. The
short skirt was adopted three or four
years ago for evening wear but in the
past two years skirts have been a trlfIe
longer and there has been no set mode
for evening wear, for everyone was econ
omizing and wearing almost ANYTHING to
the wartime functions. The short skirt
of Paris, however. is now being intro
duced for evening frocks and it is notice
able that most of the extreme styles
which are emanating from Paris Just
now are being confined to the more form
al type Of gown.
This rich gown of iridescent sequins
plainly shows the French Influence = its
short skirt and sleeveless bodice. It IS
built on very simple lines, relying on
beauty. The old tunic is black net cog-
cred with black sequins. II is very ef-
fectively draped over the white seq.ilas.
The two ostrich tips at the waist form
a trimming feature which is hecoming
popular. In this case they are q hrilG-
ant green and a feather fan to match q
chic note to the whole. A huge shell
comb of Spanish design is Worn in the
/ coiffure These combs are also the
vogue again and when Worn with the
evening frocks of the farthingale style
they make the wearer look like q truly
seventeenth century grand dame.

All Of the frocks are simple, the
fabrics 50 rich that no adornment IS
needed. Various tricks are used in the
embroidery, the way in which it is ap-
piled and the great amount Of hand
work that is required for the twisting
and braiding. Then the hand made and
hand-woyen girdless which add distincti-
veness to a frock are necessarily ind;-
yidualized.
One smart eastern shop is showing
bright colored evening frocks in large
numbers Two tone effects are pratic-
ularly liked as turquoise and lucifer
and yellow and orchid.
All black frocks are still popular and
on these there is much lace, embroider-
ed or dotted nets, and quantities oil
tulle. These frocks show the short puf-
fed sleeve, just over the shoulder, OF
else use a fall of tulle as the sleeve, but
without being held together.
Silver or gold satin metal cloths form
the basis of draping on some models
One model in black has long low
bodice, the neck cut high front and back

upon which are embroidered spider wei
motifs, using a jet bead center and
pailletes.
A handsome robe is Of larkspur blue
chiffon embroidered in gold and silver
motifs with the two color ribbon used Al
