The New Clothes

The Irish lace is some times used in the dimity frocks as well as in the dotted Swiss. Another red striped dress, less tailored than the above but still simple, uses this to band the square neck and slightly puffed sleeves. Black moire ribbon makes the girdle, which is placed at a raised waistline.
 Also adhering to the note of sim plicity which seems to be the key to the English dinity dress as developed here, are the smocks in that fabric, with touches of organdie and embroid- cry modestly employed.
 These gain their distinction by the use of irregularly shaped yoke bodices which are cut in several variations If the battlement motif. The collar and cuffs on one number made 1t inter esung. The frock is made in green dotted diultty, with white collars and cuffs. These are cut into deep seal lops, outlined in irregular blanket stitch.
 There is very pretty dress of red dish plum velvet. The long scant skirt is draped in short cascade each side to the back. The skirt is carried up in a square bib to the high neck on
 
 which is stitched in at the kneeline. Narrow shoulder straps. Over the shoulders and each side at the waist line are strings of cut beads.
 White coz has been brought out for this summer season, and this item is expected to run through the fall, using the white coq and dyeing it in the dark suit calors.
 Blordine is another item that is pre- dicted for fall: this has been devel- oped almost entirely in the jade and henna colors so far this season, but in the dark sornber shades and black it is most attractive. In the black it would make an attractive mourning trim, for there is no sheen to the feather. A small cloche, worn and seen on the avenue the other day by la smart woman in mourning, was made of peap de soie and almost completely covered in the black blon dine
 Caracul and broadtail arc pro- nounced the leading furs for the smart clientele this coming season. Many of the manufacturers have been her aiding the popularity of these two furs, and they have also been spon- sored in Paris. Mink is also spoken of as being in the same class with the two furs mentioned above. and sec ond come mole and natural squirrel.

MCLEAN IS AGAINST
 FIGHTING ABROAD
Thinks Right to Send Americans Overseas Should Rest Entirely
 With Congress.

New Haven, April 3.-U. $. Senator George P. Mclean, writing in the Yale News today, upon his attitude towards the present proposed covenant of a league of nations, summarizes his at titude in this way:
 "1-No time should be lost in searching and finding ways and means to insure domestic tranquility throughout the world
 Mathematician wars are bad but civil wars are just as bad. The world needs intra- a-national peace.
 "3-We have made the world sale for democracy and now the Worid must learn what democracy means.
 "4-What the world really needs to- day is a league of peace between em- ployers and employed, to be enforced bv the rule of reason and fair play.
 "5-yThe sole right and power to send American boys to far distant lands should remain with the Amer1- can congress.
 "6-It will be the spirit and not the letter that will give life to the pro- posed league

 MORE PEACE DELAY
Fear Investigation of Hungary By Gen. Shuts Will Occasion Fur
 ther PrOcraSttnatiOn.

Paris, April S.--One of the happen ings in peace conference circles yes- terday the Matin and the Journal united today in alluding to a "great event.. The Council of Four actually issued a comnunique, the newspapers point out, but it is stated it was only to tell us that General Smuts is going to investigate Hun gary
 The Shuts apointme ent is one which these two and most of the other newspapers condemn, instancing as a bad omen the manner in which Shuts conducted the negotiations in Switzerland in 1918 with Count Mems dorff-P Pouilly y-Dietrichstein, the Aus tro-Hungarian amba ssador at London at the outbreak of the war, in which it has been charged by Paris news papers that the b1untness of Shuts choked off possible negotiations for a separate peace.
 The comm entatOrs see in the an nouncement of the Shuts mission yet another prOcrastinatiOn by the peace conference. It's step is pointed out as all the more disa ppointing because of the hope raised by the recent sum- moning into conference of General Mangin, a man of action, who it is reported now is going back to his headquarters on the Rhine.

New York, May 7-(SpeciaL )-How colony of Europeans were rescued from a horde of fanatical natives of the lower class in Assault, Egypt. by means of bombing airplanes sent to their relief from Cairo, was told [. . day by Roy Allgood of Birmingham. professor of science who spent four years in the Assault college up to the time of the native uprising in March last.
 There had been trouble brewing be- tween the British and the natives fo- sometime" said Prof. Allgood, who was passenger yesterday on the trans port Roma, Fabre line vessel which arrived after d 21-day voyage from Marseillese.
 "The British treated the natives pret- ty well, but the ill feeling towards the British ever since the deposition of the former khedive has been bit ter. The natives finally proposed a tax on all foreigners, of whom there were about 400 in Assault. and these foreigners, of which I was one, built stockade for possible eventualities.
 "A British outpost came in on March 20, with the announcement that the natives were preparing to attack the foreign population and that train had been held up and several British officers killed by the fanatics. So we foreigners in Assault gathered within our stockade and awaited develop ments.
 About 100 Indian troops defended US and were on guard outside the

 Almost simultaneously with Vol stead's action, Representatives Gard, Ohio, and Steel, Pennsylvania, demo- cratic members of the judiciary com mittee, introduced measures for the re- peal of the wartime prohibition as ap- plying to wines and beers. They said their action was to give legislative ex- pression to President Wilson's recom- mendation in his message to Congress.

stockade We had been told that the Senusi. the better class of natives. were 10 attack, but when the horde of na- tives arrived, we found they were the Fellehems. or the lower caste of na tives. They drove our loyal Indian sol diers under the British officers, back into the stockade. snd we then prepared for a siege. The natives had inferior weapons and little ammunition, while our troops had modern rifles and plen ty of ammunition, that we held the advantage for time.
 Blaming brands with which to burn down the foreign colony were carried by the natives and many of the wom en with us talked of committing sui eide rather than be taken by those natives. Our communication with Cairo, 250 miles away. had been cut, as also those with Alexandria, 600 miles away. It seems that Cairo got nervous when nothing was heard from Assault and they sent a British aviator to fly over the place This man saw what was happening and hastened back to Cairo to report with the result that two modern British bombing planes bombed just outside the stockade with terrible results.
 The natives did not wait for fur ther punishment, but got away as quickly as possible. Two gunboats came up the river from Cairo also and took the foreigners back to the latter city, from where I embarked for New York and home"
 Prof. Allgood said that he had quite enough of Egypt for sometime to come.
