LATE FABRIC FOR LINGERIE
Has an Advantage Over
Satin and SILK.

Wolfe is fairly new fabric for lin
gerie, but IT has already. in the few
months that it has been used for I'M
dergarments, gained prestige.
To be sure, wolfe lingerie ten or
twelve years ago would have seemed
abSurdly impractical. Wolfe was too
thin, we would have said. too fragile
for the hard wear that lingerie must
have.
But those statements would have
been made In the days before lingerie
had had a chance TO show its good
points. And they would have been
been made. too. in the days before we
used fur and chiffon, tulle and satin for
lingerie. Nowadays, of course. satin is
considered one of the most durable
of fabrics-one is tempted to say I'M
dermuslins-ln the good old-fashioned
way. but undermuslins are now only n
part Of the matter, for most Of them
are made Of silk and satin and crepe.
Wolfe has one advantage over satin
and silk I'm the minds Of some women,
at least for underwear. They cling TO
liking for regular Tubing fabric
for underwear. II matters not to them
that satin can be washed in soap and
water and ironed satin does not seem
SO fresh and clean as cotton of some
sort. So 10 them voile is a welcome
addition to the fabrics from which un-
derwear is made.

 Dark colored linens and crashes are used for fashionable waists.
 Chains of beads reaching almost tc the hem of the skirt are worn.

 High belts of black velour ribbon appear on rose pink taffeta gowns.

 Restaurant hats and tt ques are made of irridescent sequins and beads.
 White gloves are again in favor.
 The long string belt is still very popular. The use of fluffy reckwear is tn~ c~easing.
 Crgandie embroideries are the fav orites. Lingerie embroidered robes will be in favor. Olive brown trico:ine is a favorite for tailored suits. Silver lace is still much wanted for evening gowns. Low heeled oxford shoes are as much worn as high. Long coats show the loose panel back set into a yoke.

FIVE YOUNGER THAN AMERICA
This Country by No Means Most Ju- venile of the Nations Engaged
 in the War.

The average man thinks the United States is the youngest nation that was actively engaged in the war that prac- tically ended with the recent signing of the armtstice with Germany. AS a matter of fact, it is one of the older nations engaged in the war.
 The most recently formed nations that have taken part in the struggle are Roumania, Bulgaria, and Serbia, which were given their independence of Turkey about forty years ago. They had existed before, though not pre- cisely in the limits of today, but they had been long under Turkish rule.
 Next in youth is Germany. Of course there has been a Germany for twenty centuries or longer, but at first Sle name described the territory in which various entirely independent tribes lived and afterward it described a fed eration so loosely joined together that it's states were as often fighting each other as in alliance with each other. Still later-about fifty years ago-Ger- many was divided into two fedora tions, but both combined against France in 1870. The German empire was established in 1871 and Germany was never really nation before that time.
 Next comes Italy, which became 6 Kingdom in 1859 or 1860. Of cour e Italian history is older than the his tory of any other country in Europe except Greece, but the earlier history of Italy was the history of Rome, | which overfowed the boundaries of he peninsula and conquered the great
 r part of the known world. But less

WILSON'S SHIP ORDERED TO FRANCE,

orders which it is learned have
been given to the transport George
Washington to proceed from America
to a French port are not taken to
mean that President Wilson is con-
templating premature departure
from France.
They are thought rather to reflect
a belief that the peace conference
will be able to effect an adjustment
or outstanding problems at compar
atively early date.
Paul Dutasta. general secretary of
the peace conference. on the 7th,
went to Versailles to prepare for the
arrival Of the German plenipotentiar-
les. 1t is probable that the prepara-
tory meetings will take place in the
former meeting room of the supreme
war council and that the treaty will
be signed in the main palace at Yer
sailles.
On the 7th President Wilson was
still steadily improving. although
still in bed, suffering with severe
cold and seeking. under the direc-
tions of his personal physician, a

turn to Paris.

GERMAN CASUALTIES IN WAR.

Prussian's huge losses in officers
and men during the war are indi-
Gated by staff officer, who writes
in the Lokal-AnzeigerI He submits
figures compiled from the official cas-
uality lists to show that 32,454 ac-
tive officers at the front were killed.
wounded or missing out of a total of
34,350, and that more than 1890
600 soldiers were killed. wounded or
missing out of 10,17S,000 who ac-
tually fought at the front
He contends that these figures belle
stories that the Prussian officers did
not attack with their men and as
serts that while their losses were par
ticularly heavy in the first two years
they were much less in the latter
yars. because the officers had to be
saved for general staff work.

stay in Washington, the admiral will
go to Newport, r. l.. for a rest be-
fore resuming the presidency Of the
naval war college. from which he was
called for overseas duty little more
than two years ago.
AS he stepped from train at the
Union Station. Admiral Sims was
greeted by Acting Secretary and Mrs.
Franklin ID. Roosevelt and the heads
or the bureau at the navy depart
ment and escorted TO the President s
suite in the station. where an infor-
NAL reception was held. When the
officer arrived at the gate from the
train sheds, he was greeted with mar
tial music by a naval band and the
cheers OF hundreds who had gathered
in the station. He stood rigidly at
attention until the band had finished
and then passed between double COL

QUICKLY ABSORBED.

The war finance corporations Of
fering of $20O.0OO,OO0 of 5 per cent
one-year bonds has been oversub-
scribed, although the books were
opened only on the 4th. Reports re-
ceived at the treasury from nine fed
eral reserve banks showed a total
amount offered, with other subscrip-
tfons still to be compiled.
Banks especially were said to have
been eager to obtain the new issue.
because of the ATTRACTIVE interest
rate Of ga Of 1 per cent higher than
the fourth Liberty issue, and the
greater exemptions from taxation.
Officials predicted when the offer
ing was announced that it would be
absorbed quickly. but were surprised
at the actual showing. 1t was con-
sidered by officials as an indication
that the Forthcoming Victory loan
would meet with similar favor.

OPTIMISTIC ON PEACE PROGRESS,

Krom London on April 5th. It is
learned on the highest authority that
there is every prospect that the peace
treaty will be ready by next Wdnes-
day or Thursday. The statements.
current in certain quarters. that
there is disagreement between France
and England on essential points may
be dismissed as without foundation:
On all the leading issues there is COM
plete agreement, which will be en-
bodied in the document which is now
receiving final consideration bv the
Council of Four.
There is agreement with regard to
the status Of the Saar coal fields and
reparat1on to France for destruction
in the invaded territory. A basis for
4 solution Of this latter problem on
equitable terms, acceptable to all
concerned. has been arrived at and
only remains to be incorporated in
the final treaty.
There Is still outstanding the ques-
ton Of the Adriatic coast. where
Italy has been at odds with the Jugo-
slavs. \There are, however. no unset
tied questions that present very
serious difficulties. That Of Danzsg
has been settled. The Allies right
to use the port for the landing Of
Polish divisions has been formally
maintained, but to hasten the arrival
OF the troops it has been decided to
use the land routes as proposed by
Germany. The use of Danzig is,
however. still open should the neces-
sity arise.
understand that Lloyd George,
after the peace terms are agreed upon
and before their final signature, will
return 10 London and make a state
ment to the House of Commons and
then return tc Paris for the final for

found that the Premier and Mr.. Bal
four have insisted on the fullest rec
