Styles

The secret is out. Every little girl
wants to be just like mother or big sister
as far as matters of apparel are concerned.
That's why this showing is replete with
straight-line models; waists that blouse
and even panels. Narrow sashes have
taken the places of the immense affairs
formerly favored. And, if one is small,
there is almost no end to the variety of
silks and woolens one may choose for ones
Frocks. Almost all the little Coats hans
straight whether they have yokes, belts or
neither. The dressier models take velvets
and broadcloths while the simpler models
are fashioned of bolivia, serge, silvertone
and corduroy.

he served a day of the sentence,
which was made nearly three years

This was the statement Of Judge

who took UP the investigation where
Attorney General Horace NJ. Havner
left off.
Rathbun went into Judge Albert's
court last night and permitted the
stipulation that his pardon was
secured by irregular means, which,
according to state agents, automat-
cally set aside the pardon.
The youth today is awaiting re-
moval to Anamosa reformatory to
begin servitude.
Rathbun, arraigned on charge OF
perjury, pleaded guilty, and had been
given a ten year sentehce.
Judge Albert in giving the sen.
tence announced that the perjury
sentence would run concuTrently
with the sentence for life.
This will make it possible for Rath-
bun to serve his time at Anamosa
instead of Fort Madison.

PARIS, Feb 25.-Revolutionary
changes in international naval laws
which, fitting in with the rules Of
the league of nations. would make
war virtually impossible. are now
under discussion. Regulations under
which munitions are shipped from
neutrals to warning countries would
be completely overturned. Under
their operation, freedom of the
seas" would not be theoretical, but
real.
The United Press is able to state
that the principle points favored by
the peace delegates. regarding muni
tions shipments In the future are:
Each nation shall be held re-
sponsible for any unneutral act by
its citizens.
2-AIl contraband must be estab-
lished at the outbreak of the war,
and lists cannot be changed during
the period of hostilittes.
3-As carrying contraband natur-
ally is forbidden, the flag Of non
warning nation flying over ship
would be a guarantee that she was
not carrying munitions or other pro-
hibited materials.
4-If ship arouses suspicion and
is stopped within a reasonable area,
search shall be limited to her papers
to determine her nationality.
5-f a ship Of non-warring 6
power is discovered carrying contra
band, that nation shall be subject to
punishment by the league of nations,
economically or otherwise as the
executive council recommends.
1t is obvious that under such rules
no nation will be able to carry on a
war beyond the limit of her own
production Of munitions. The prac-
tice of buying munitions from non
warning power by payment Of enor-
nous prices and obtaining shipment
through payment Of high freight rates
with shippers taking the risk-as
heretofore done-would be eliminat ted
by point one, and the nation from
which a ship was sailing would asce1>
tain that she carried no contraband
as a measure of self-protection.
There would be no neutral power
in the strict sense, after establishing
the league of nations. but assuming
that despite the rigidness Of the
league laws some powers would start
to engage in a war, these new regu-
lations would act as a further deter
rent. If a belligerent violated the
