PARIS, May 21.-Great Britain's de-
sire that a semblance of the Turkish
empire be preserved in order to avoid
religious complications such as might
be brought about through Mussulman
dissatisfaction, is causing continued

Principle Recognized.

LAS the German government did
not at the time make any protest
against this allegation, it thereby
recognized it as we'll founded. There
fore Germany recognized in 1918. inn
plicitly but clearly, both the aggres-
sion and her responsibility.
ut is too late to seek to deny them
today.
1T would be impossible. you state
further. that the German people
should be regarded as the accompiices
of the faults committed by the
former German government. How
ever, Germany has never claimed, ana
such a declaration would have been
contrary to all principles of interna-
tional law, that a modification or It's
political regime or a change in the
governing personalities would be SUI
ficient to extinguish an obligation al
ready undertaken by any nation. She
did not act upon the principle she
now contends for either in 1871. as
regards France after the proclama-
ton of the republic. nor in 1917, in
regard to Russia after the revolution
which abolished the czarist regime.
Finally. you ask that the report OF
the commission on responsibility be
communicated to you. In reply we
beg to say that the allied and asso-'
ciated powers consider the reports OF
the commissions set up by the peace
conference as documents of an inter-
nal character which cannot be trans

FLYERS at St. Johns
Abandon Hope for Safety
of HaWker and Grieve
BY the Associated Press.

by the aSSoclateU fEebs
ST. JOHNS, N. F., May 21-Hope
for the safety of Harry G. Hawker
and Commander Mackenzie Grieve,
missing since they set out eastward
through the air on Sunday in their
Sopwith biplane for Ireland, was vir-
tually abandoned today by the British
flyers preparing here to take wing in
their wake. News of the safety of
the NC-3, after being SO long on the
water, had been a source of encour-
agement, but 1t is recognized that the
Hawker-Grieve machine carried only a
cockleshell emergency boat as COM
pared with the stout hull of the
American naval plane. Undaunted by
the Sopwith's disappearance. which
must be taken into consideration as
part of the hazards of Transatlantic
flight, members of the other cross
ocean expeditions today continued to
mature their plans for flights with
the next full moon, three weeks hence.
From Harbor Grace came word that
the Handley-Page Super-bomber would
be in the air within ten days, instead
of fortnight. as the assembling of
this machine is being expedited.
Capt. Alcock's Plans.
Capt. Alcock of the Anglo American
team "IiASh Will dttcInpt a hiehS Ih a
Vimy bomber expects the latter machine
to reach here tomorrow or Friday.
While here he will use as his base the
Mount Pearl plateau airdrOme vacated by

he will there take on a full load of 1865
gallons of gasoline before hopping off. y
His plane will have a range Of 2.440
miles. Capt. Alcock said today that he
would carry as lfe-saving equipment
only an infiatable vest, as he considered
other contrivances of such doubtful
value that he would not burden his ma
chine with them.

BIG AMOUNT ASKED
FOR STREET WORK
Million and Quarter Needed
Is Large Part of Total in
Added Estimate. 49,.

Supplemental estimates understood
to total nearly a million and half

Commissioners today to the House ap-

By far the largest portion of the
amount is desired for new street work.
which shortly will end unless Con-
gress provides otherwise.
But two other major items are I'M
derstood to be included in the esti-
mates-one looking toward the equip
ment of the machine shop of Central
High School and the other the con-
struction of a section of the upper Po-
tomac sewerage interceptor.
The exact amounts included in the
Commissioners supplemental recon-
mendations will not be published I'M
til the estimates are transmitted to
Congress by the Treasury Depart
ment, which annually transmits the
District budget.
Amount for Street Work.
quarter dollars is the amount the
Commissioners believe should be
spent on new street work during tho
coming fiscal year.
The District bill. which died with
the last Congress, made no provision
for new streets and authorized only
$4,000 for sidewalks. This was due
to the fact at the time the last esti-
mates were prepared it was assumed
the war would not end for several
months and that there would be large
unexpended balance from street ap-
preparations for the current year
which could be used during the fiscal
year that begins July l.
Armistice Changes Situation.
The collapse of Germany was fol-
lowed speedily by commencement of
active work on street improvements in
the District, with the result that prac-
tically all the appropriations made for
this purpose for the current year will
have been exhausted within a few
months. Much of the work has been
done and practically all that remains
to be done is under contract.
With no unexpended balances in
sight, it is up to Congress to say
whether new street work In the Dis
trict shall be completely halted for a
year.

A Full Overskirt
And Choker Collar

E'HE frock at the top of to-day's
page is far cry from the sim
pie dress of the days when we did
war work and devoted little time to
clothes. Brown wool-back satin is the
material chosen from which to evolve
this remarkable creation. The in
f1uerce of the oldtime basque is
strongly marked in the blouse, which
Ats the body snugly and flares in a
full peplum below the long waistline.
This saucy peplunl, which is very
short, is induced to flare further by
means Of a heavy taffeta lining. AS
the lining shows where the peplum
ripples, q new shade of tangerine
which blends charmingly with the
brown is used.
The very full overskirt also is
distcnded by means of this stiff tat
fcta silk. With the tang of autumn
in the air comes the use Of worsted
embroideries. Light tan wool en-
broidery done in bath towel stitch
is extraordinarily effective Gu this
frock and TIE high choker collar and
cuffs of sable herald the winter.

A kaleidoscope
Of F ashiions

T~HE mode Of this new season
takes it's rise from a period
when dress was extremely ex-
travagant. The costumes Of the gay
court of LOUIS XVI are resorted to
as we'll as the dresses worn when
that famous dictator, the Empress
Engenie, influenced the fashions of
the world. 1t is only natural then
that all Of the models made for the
immediate future should show great
elaborateness both in fabrics and
trimmings. This, of course, will
make our new clothes anything but
inexpensive, and so the woman who
looks for an opportunity to econ
omize in her dress allowance may
abolish this futile hope.
Dress accurately reflects current
events and the ethics of the times.
The history Of costume is linked in
separately with the history of the
world. The present unrest and ex-
travagance are mirrored in kaleido-
scope of fashions that appears as if
coteries of dressmakers had tried to
Guido one another in using guam
titles Of costly fabrics. This seems
a wanton waste unless we stop to
consider how a vogue for certain
things which creates great demand
for them develops industries and
keeps the wheels Of business whirr-
ing.

Fur, 90, Is Put
o Prodigal Use

THE chinchilla wrap illustrated Is
an example of the prodigal use
Of fur To make the coat ample
without clumsiness and the tar
easily draped, skeleton wrap is
formed Of gray Georgette crepe with
the fur applied in bands There IS
almost enough fur in the collar alone
to make one OF the prim little fur
coats OF other years. 4 lining Of
peacock blue satin yelled with chiffon
contrasts charmingly with the soft
silvery gray of the coat itself.
Suits with ripple coats are prov
ing a pronounced success judging
from the way smartiy dressed women
are ordering them. The jackets IF
these new suits vary in length, most
Of them, however. being in what IS
known as fingertip length The rip
pie is obtained by TIE addition of
peplum, godets or band OF fur,
bu- rarely do any Of these complete

Worsted Embroidery
Is Used En- Masse

A MOTHER frock, also sketched,

this worsted embroidery and a
unique method Of applying H. Gray
Poiret twill makes straight founda-

an overdress cut to deep curve in

tending Che hip line, this one does
it By means of deep tuck.
The whole portion Of the back and

become careless in their dress. Then,
too, the making Of them was such
simple matter that dressmakers
became equally careless and the art
Of making clothes deteriorated to a
considerable extent. SO these new
and more elaborate frocks have a
rwofold mission-that Of improving
the art Of making clothes as we'll as
that OF wearing them.

Away From Simple
STYLES of Wartime

NOW our clothes arc cut on such
ample lines that quantities of
materials are required for them. To
attain the new silhouette everything
must be we'll fitted and much more
care exercised in their workmanship
than the simple chemise dresses re-
CURED The chemise robes were an
outcome Of war days when there
were few people to sew and women
had little time to devote to the put
ting on Of complicated frocks. So
chcmise frocks frequently had no
fastenings; they were slipped over
the head and tied with girdles about
the waist.
The wearing of these easily made
and more easily donned dresses,
