Says Ambassador Fletcher Was Openly 1nsulted on Streets of Mexico City While Going to Carranza's Inauguration.

Washington, July 23.-William B. of London in Mexico City told the house rules committee today that the sending of two American military eX petitions into Mexico and their sub- seQuent withdrawal was largely re- sponsible for the anti-Ame erican feel ing in the southern republic. The committee is considering a resolution authorizing investigation of the re- lations between the two countries.
 Think Americans Afraid.
 Do you think that the feeling against Americans was strengthened by the belief that America or it's peo- pie were afraid to assert their rights?" asked a member of the committee.
 Yes, said the witness.
 "The Mexicans then had contempt for Americans?"
 ~ es''.
 MT Mitchell said there was a strong anti-American spirit in the Carranza administration.
 Ambassador Insulted.
 Americans are not being treated with the same consideration as other foreigners, the witness said adding that Henry P. Fletcher the Ameri- can ambassador was openly insulted on the streets of Mexico City when en route to attend the inauguration of President Carranza, while the Ger man ambassador was cheered.

MILAN SEES WILSON
Connecticut Senator Among Others Today Who Confers With President On Terms of Treaty.

Washington, July 23.-Conferences with republican senators on the peace treaty and the League of Nations covenant were continued today by President Wilson. Senators on the visiting list were Page, Vermont; Sterling, South Dakota; Mclean, Con- necticut Newberry Michigan.
 MT. Wilson's condition continued to improve and 1t is expected that with in a few days he will have entirely re- covered from the effects of an attack of intestinal trouble. He still is weak and so the conferences today will be in his study in the White House in- stead of in the executive offices.

REEDS ARGUMENTS 
 ARE TERMED IDLE
Insists President Has Done Great Things For America While Working at Peace Table.

Washington, July 23.-The League of Nations was supported in the senate today by Senator Mcclellan, democrat, of Tennessee, as one of the greatest forward steps in the nations history. Most of the opposition, he asserted, came from reactionaries of the same school as those who op- posed the federal constitution and those who later handicapped the growth and development of the country.
 There have always been reaction aries in our country" said the sena- tor, "and there have always been progressives. There have always been forward looking men and back ward-looking men.
 World Pact Essential.
 Every dictate of conscience, every dictate of humanity, every dictate of an enlightened sclf-interest, every dictate of commercial and industrial advantage, every dictate of a desire for peace, require the establishment of this great world pact,
 'FReactionary republicans and re- actionary democrats who are oppos ing this league don't let, your hatred Of one man warp and set aside your Judgment, Whatever may. be said of Sstar. Wilson, he has surely done great things for Anlerica. Under his ad- mtnistratione we have become a world < power faster than in any other like Fperiod in our history. Allsof his work s has been done for America. Let not { America who has given this great peace covenant to the world, be the only one to repudiate it."
 Replies to Lodge.
 The speaker quoted Senator Lodges speech in the senate last December and declared the peace terms laid down there had been substantially embodied in the treaty. Senator Knox, he said, had desired to go even farther than the league covenant in his resolution declaring the United States would cooperate to remove any future menace to European peace.
 'The real criticism of the league in the minds of it's opponents in tho senate" continued Mr. Mcclellan, "is that Woodrow Wilson took com- manding part in the formation of the league. There may be better plans, but why haven't they been pro- duced?"
 Reasons for League.
 Three incontestible reasons for the league" continued the senator, "are the cost of war, it's sacrifice of human life, and the utter folly of creating nations in Europe without giving them the guaranty of life.'
 He said he did not agree that Al ticle X. imposed only a moral obli- gation to preserve the integrity of members, but that it rightly imposed a legal obligation to do so.
 Replying to the charge of Senator Reed, democrat of Missouri, that the league might be controlled by black red and yellow races, Senator Nickel lar said:
 "The argument is idle.''

A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose

A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose
TNHE paper doll silhouette has been
L predictcd-or at least silhouette
that might aS well he so described as
in any other way. You must be slen-
der. to the point of cmaCiation, from.
back to front. You must be sans curve
and sans pounds in back and front,
but you may and in fact must balloon
out at the sides. Which simply means
that we must remain as slender as
ever. we must be as careful as ever
about potatoes and bread and butter
and other fsttening viands and then
we must build out our figures on the
side with extra yards of material. Be
cause obviously one cannot take on
pounds Mt the sides without fear or
certainty Of taking them on in back or
in front.
Perhaps It all happened because we
were tired Of the perfectly straight
silhouette. We yearned for something
different. 1t was really time that we
had hoops or panniers or something
of that sort. yet we were not in a
mood to be mid Victorian. We had
to hide them as did the ladies who
wore hoops in Nictoria's day or in the
days of Louis XIV and Louis XVI.
So there is much side drapcry with
out actually very bouffant skirts. The
effect is one that you will surely like.
The frock here shown. new but not
extreme, is of satin, with the skirt
draped amply on either hip. The sash
ends are finished with large silk tas-
sells attached to the waist line with
a bunch of French flowers. The col
lars and cuffs are of sheer lawn edged
with lace. The hat is of velvet with
u large ostrich feather.
Now a frock of this sort you should
have to fill the bill for afternoon
wear. although one should be of pencil
proportions in the morning for the
strictly tailored suits-in fact. all COS
tunes designed for going about iow".
for committee meetings, shopping, bust
ness or other such OccaSions---~crmn al
to be of the straight up and down skirt
/ This afternoon you may meet bouf
FAINT hipped young person who tOmor-
row morning will trip past you in the
street as hipless as a young faun.
