SPRING FASHIONS.

Fashion grows up In the spring, hats tipping up first like the crocuses out of the ground and the February Good Housekeeping says:
 B~Xed coats are favorites in spring suits: The spring suit is a trim, tat- lored affair with skirt two yards or less in width, and finger length or shorter coat on box lines Box mod els were shown by some of the smart est New York tailors in the autumn, and as far back as last spring some of the French designers had smart box models In their collections. The evolution has come slowly but that the box coat slim, unbelted, with no hint of curve at the waist-line-wil be the model of the spring.
 Spring frocks show tunics and long lines: Although the majority of the skirts in the new suits are straight | and narrow, many of the new frocks show a tunic dropped over the mar row skirt to give the appearance o1 l greater fulness. This tunic is usually rather long. The waist line is lonE 1 rather than short, and in some o1 the first models to come over, notably those of Bulloz in dresses of satir and serge, -waisted effects, the oval neck, long tunic, and the three-quarter length bell sleeve are marked features. The sleeves, thougi still close at the top, show some va
 riety. They may be either tight a | the wrist or bell shaped.

BEHAVIOR OF AMERICAN OFFICERS
 IN PARIS IS BEING CRITICISED

Normandy is one of them. There cider is made into applejack. Every Norman drinks 1t. One of the hardest races in France has dwindled in size and vigor because of the drinking of hard liquor. The percentages of epi- lepsy and tuberculosis and pauper- ism and whatnot have increased. Nor mans drink as Anglo-Saxons door did-to get drunk. A motorist once told me he dared not travel on a Norman road at night
 They weave out of the ditches and stumble across the track" said he.

 Eelsewhere in France, where the chief beverage of the people, the F'renchman is about the hardest per son. l know. Ask any doughboy who has trotted at the heels of a French combat regiment for day whether they can march. They are big men too-except the Normans, who take their applejack regularly. American surgeons were immensely surprised to discover that the poilu outweighs the doughboy on the scales. Some oi that extra weight, of course, is due to his greater average age.
 But, to get back to first principles do not believe the pessimistio hote Keeper in New York will find the country ruined because his cash reg i ister does not click so furiously i Whether 1t is our temperament ol l whether it is our liquor, we Ameri cans drink with a fury the men O other nations do not show.

BLAMES MILITARY l
 FOR GREAT WAR.
Bavarian Professor Scores Those Who Caused Great Conflict Which Resulted in Disaster for Huns.

Munich, Feb. 14-(Correspondence of The Associated Press) - 'The purely military way of thinking which plunged us senselessly into this war; says Prof. F. w. Foerster, Munich University professor and now Bavarian minister In Switzerland, had. as consequence, also a method of conducting the war which was bound to end in a German catastro- phe.
 with a blindness bordering on in- sanity we called all the means mill tary necessities which, step by step, were sure to call the whole world into arms against us - whereby It | came to be evident that our disdain of all political and moral scruples was a shortsighted calculation, even | from a military standpoint. ITO what dire need did our so- called act of necessity in invading Belgium bring us? Those military ways of thinking also bear the princi- pal blame for the prolongation of the war. It Is impossible to conceive that we, at several turning points during the last few years, could not have had an undoubted honorable peace if we, instead of making gen.
 eral proffers had suggested honestly
 and concretely the individual solu-
 tions which, in the Wilson sense
 would have put out the old fires in
 Europe. The military people and the
 military way of thinking however
 would not admit of such timely ant
 unequivocal concession. That is al
 as clear as the sun now.
 "Why not therefore admit this un
 deniable German national confusion
 instead of trying to make 1t appeal
 as though all were guilty and a though news witnesses still wer necessary to get at the truth? Ever.

 ing that prevailed during the past de
 cades.
 He who has done his fellow me = a grave wrong Is expected by civilize r society to admit, to be sorry, to pa r 1he penalty voluntarily; and likewis

BULGARIA NOW IN
 POLITICAL FIGHT

Sofia, Jan. 9-(Correspondence of The Associated Press)-Bulgaria Is in the throes of a political crisis which will require the greatest wisdom for it's solution. She must nquidate the military and political disaster, and the bad effects of the personal regime of King Ferdinand which extended through a period of some 25 years. She must restore her standing with her alienated foreign friends, and by wise concessions and reforms fore stall the spread of extreme doctrines among large and somewhat suscep- tible population. Hearty co-opera- ton of all political parties is evidence of their earnestness to meet the situ- ation wisely.
 The country now has a coalition government the cabinet being com posed of men from six different par ties. This Is the third cabinet change since last June, and each change has ! seen an increasing number of fac l tions represented in the official family l To an American the popular charac- i ter of the Bulgarian government is | something of a revelation, no less ! than a dozen different parties being 1 formally represented in Parliament. Bulgaria has taken precautions
 against internal troubles through
 representative and parliamentary discussion rather than in dicta-
 torship. street outbreaks or other
 forms of social upheaval. The coun-
 try breathes freer in the absence of
 Ferdinand, even though it is occupied
 by Entente troops.
 The old Chamber has been retained
 in office to avoid unnecessary risks
 and the agitation always attendant
 upon national elections. Premier
 Radoslavoff, who was looked upon as
 Germany's dupe, had at no time more
 than bare majority, and that ma.
 jority consisted of Turks, who, fl
 Bulgaria. have equal rights with tn, Bulgarians.
 Since Ferdinand's exit the goo( behavior of the people has been II remarkable contrast to the situation : prevailing in Russia. This Is ex } plained by the assertion that Bul 9 garia's virtual democracy and ha laid the basis for popular content ment. There Is equitable distribution of the land, government ownershil } of public utilities, legislative contrc of the executive, uncorrupted courts l and social legislation. Universal suf frage has been enjoyed since the ere : atton of the state, and the peopl have proportionate representation

PORT READING. July 26-It was
decided at a meeting, last night, that
Port Reading would not accept the
invitation to join Woodbridge in their
Welcome Home celebration but to
hold q celebration of their own in
the near future.
After the regular routine of BUSH
ness was carried out the following
committee was appointed to foster

ner, Louis Friedman, Thomas Russo,
George Byleckie, Pasquale Babrato,
Augustine Pullo, John Lozak, Fred
Megier, Closine Tombardo, Edward
Leimpeter, Peter Dernsen and Thorn
as A. EARL. Everyone present APP
peared to be enthusiastically pleased
with the idea. All are looking for
ward to making this affair "the real
thing. of the e 1t is the belief
of all here hat Port Reading would
be better able to show their graft

turned young men by launching an
affair of their own.

the military service from Port Read
ing. All have returned home, either

battlefield of Flanders.
The citizens of Port Reading have
been asked to subscribe literally to-
ward this fund and to join and aid
the committee in every possible
The day Is to be a memoir
able one regardless of expense. Port
Reading has never shirked her re-
sponsibilites during any of the war
drives and 1t certainly will not allow
anything but success to crown her
efforts in this small way Of showing
appreciation to the ex-service men.
The success of this Welcome Home
celebration does not rest with the
committee entirely. Every man,
and child in town is expected
to put his or her shoulder to give the
affair a shove upward. Any aid will
be appreciated.
1t has not been decided as yet just
what the presentation will consist of
either a lump sum of money or a
