RECONSTRUCTION PROBLEMS IN CLOTHES

one usually associates the most femi-
nine modes of the history of dress.
And as lace is one of the most femi-
nine trimmings, it follows that devel-
oped after the Marie Antoinette style
they are just glorious delights.
BoudOir Gowns
One of the shops is showing an at
tractive selection of boudoir gowns,
the inspiration for, which was found in
the italian period of the fourteenth
and fifteenth centuries. These show
batiked velvets, chiffons and brocades
all in colorings typical Of that period.
For the woman of slender grace these
models are shown. For, indeed, it is
quite out of the question for one of
awkward stature to adopt any of the
period costumes.
Big, comfy, fleecy bathrobes are
now on sale in most of the shops.
But there are patterns, too, that one
may get and with the assistance of
big blanket, one would be well pro-

Attractive Skirt and Blouse
The Reconstruction" of gown is
in reality quite simple. If the lines
of the frock are good, some little add
ed touch, like collar and cuff set OF
some unique way of draping the skirt
will give an entire new and fresh look
to the dress.
Bits of Lace
Lace, the beautiful. There is al
ways something about this flmy tex
ture that bewitches even the most eau
tious women. There is just a myriad
Of various little things lying about the
shops, and each individual taste may
be satisfied. Vests of filet lace, to be
worn with velvet dresses, are at pres
ent very smart. In some cases there
is collar and cuff to match the vest,
but one must be very careful not to
overdo with an abundance of lace.
Just enough looks refined, but too
much is inclined to look cheap, even
though the lace be of the most ex-
pensive quality.
Many dainty boudoir caps are de-
veloped from this network of design,
and those that are particularly pretty
are those fashioned after the style Of
Marie Antoinette. With this period

With the reconstruction of devas-
tated Europe comes the reconstruction
of last years gown. Of course we will
be allotted more finery now that the
war is over, but the feminine world
discards, to certain extent, this
privilege and decides that it is far
more fashionable to be doing recon-
struction work. Whether it is gown
or a village of beautiful France my
lady is intensely interested.

CONFLICTING CLAIMS ,

Employers Say That Not
More Than 5000 Respond

New York, Feb. ls.-Representatives
of the Building Trades Employers asso-

building tredes workers each announced
to-day that the would send committees
to meet Secretaries Baker and Wilson
in Washington morrow afternoon in
an attempt to settle the nation wide
strike, effective yesterday, on contracts
held by the employers association.
This action is in response to an invi-
tation sent to each party last night by
Secretaries Baker and Wilson. William
l.. Hutcheson, president of the United
Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners,
said he would attend the conference as
the representative of that organization,
and would be accompanied by other
members Of the executive council of the
building trades department Of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor.
Samuel 3. Donnelly, secretary of the
employers association, said the associa
tion's delegation probably would be led
by its president, Ronald Taylor,

Labor leaders repeated that one hun

when the strike action became fully ef-

not more than five thousand men
throughout the country had responded
to the strike call. Members of the asso-
citation hold contracts for a larger per
centage of government projects now un-
der construction in various places.

GERMAN STRIKE THREATENED.
In Ruhr Industrial District if Govern
ment Does Not Aecede to the
Demand of the Workers.

Berlin, Monday, Feb. II (by the Asso-
ciated Press The soldiers councils
representing the whole Ruhr industrial
district threaten to call a general strike
on Tuesday, if the government does not
accede to the councils formulated at a
conference held at Essen. The trouble is
due primarily to the action of the gem
eral commanding the 7th army corps in
dissolving the corps soldiers council at
Muenster because of the councils anti
government attitude.
The Ruhr district soviets called cen
trail conference, at which it was decided
to demand the reinstatement of the
Muenster council in all its rights, the re-
moval of the commander, General Won
Watten, and his officers and their trial
and punishment by court to be estab-
lished by the district soviets. The imme-
date withdrawal of all government
troops in the district also is demanded.
The conference named a committee to
prepare defensive measures in the dis
trict and has retained as hostage two
officers who attended the conference as
representatives of General Won Watten.
The councils in the Ruhr district are vir-
tually all in control of the Spartacans
or the radical Independent socialists.

FIX REPRESENTATION
IN LABOR CONFERENCE
Allow Government Two Delegates, EN-
plOyers One and Employees One,
British Plan Being
Accepted.

Paris, Feb. l8.-Equal representation
for governments on the one hand and
employers and labor on the other was
decided upon by the commission on in
ternational labor legislation yesterday
in adopting plans for the meetings of the
proposed annual international labor con
ference The plan adopted was that pre-
sented by the British delegates with an
amendment proposed by the Belgian del
egation. Samuel Gompers, head of the
American Federation OF Labor, presided
over the meeting. The official state
ment announcing the results Of the de-
liberations reads;
"The ninth meeting of the commits
sion of international labor legislation
was held at the ministry Of labor un-
der the presidency of Mr., Gompers at
$3.50 p. m. on Monday, Feb. IL.
>"The discussion of the procedure laid
down in the British scheme for the meet
ings of the annual conference was con
tinued. The commission agreed to the
British proposal, as amended in accord
ance with proposal of the Belgian dele
cation, which provided that at the an
nual labor conference the government Of
each state shall be represented by two
delegates having one vote each, while
there viii be one delegate from each
state representing employers and having
one vote, and one delegate representing
work people also having one vote

PRES. poINcARE TEsr1F1Es.
In the Case of Senator Charles Humbert,
Former Newspaper Man.

Paris, Feb lS.-President Poincare
gave testimony yesterday in the case Of
Senator Charles Humbert, former pro-
prietor of lie Journal, who has been un-
der examination for some time in connec-
ton with charges growing out of the
Bolo Pasba and other treason cases. The
presidents testimony was taken by Paul
Andre, president of the appeal court, who
went to the palace of the Elysee for the
purpose, accompanied by his chief clerk
The presidents testimony was taken
because Senator Humbert, during his ex-
aminations, had frequently invoked the
name Of President Poincare, declaring
he had often seen the president during
the course of the war. President Poincare
testified under similar circumstances in
the case against Madame Caillaux for
the shooting Of Castor Calmette,

BOLSHEVIK AGENTS
SENT TO AMERICA
Purpose of, Bolshevild Is to Overthrow
Government, Says Herman
Bernstein,

Washington, D. c., Feb. lS.-Russia is
more down-trodden under the bolshevik
than she ever was under the czar, the
Senate propaganda investigating com
mittee was told to-day by Herman
Bernstein, an American writer who spent
some time in Russia. He said this new
shaving actually was brought about by
the Germans.
Truth" the witness went on, "com-
pletely disarms the bolsheviki The ex-
posure of their methods is sufficient to
end it everywhere forever. That's why
freedom of speech has been entirely sup
pressed and why no news is permitted to
be sent out of Russia"
The witness said he knew certain men
sent to this country from Russia had
been in the employ of the bolsheviki.
"The program of Russia has been and
is to-day" he said, 'to bring about the
overthrow of governments throughout
the world. They also were trying in ev-
cry way while the war was on to bring
about victory for the central powers"
Mr.. Bernstein said it was not true, as
some witnesses has intimated, that the
bolsheviki were led by Jews. Bolshe-
vism, he declared, had no connection with
any religion and confessed no creed.

GERMANS DISTURBED
BY NEW ARlMISTICE
Erzberger Told National Assembly That
He Was Given Scant Considera-
tion by Marshal FOch.

London, Feb. lS.--Mathias Erzberger
has returned to Weimar from Treves,
according to "a German wireless message
picked UP here. Following his return,
he appeared before the national assem-.
bly, and read the text of the new armi-
stfce agreement. After he had finished
the reading, Er2berger is reported to
have said:
Il do not wish any member of this
House to ever have to live through such
heavy hours as it was my fate to live at
Treves. The German commissions activ-
ity was kept to the narrowest limits, as
Marshal Foch declined to extend the pc
riod and declared he was unable TO alter
anything in the stipulations, since the
conditions had been framed by the chiefs
of the allied governments. Marshal Foch's
interpreter stated that President Wilson
had approved the conditions OF the new
armistice"
Detailing futile efforts to obtain ameli-
grafton Of the conditions, Erzberger said
that Marshal Foch had merely promised
to try to intervene with the inter.allied
commission for the protection of the Ger
mans in the eastern provinces, in ac-
cordanee with the views that Erzberger
presented. He said that Marshal FOch
had declared that the first article of the
new agreement was purely military
measure and would have no political ef-
fects,
Erzberger it is stated, reported that
he regretted being unsuccessful in OBJ
tanning any definite promise for the re-
lease Of German prisoners, although
Marshal Foch expressed his willingness
to submit the plea to the supreme war
council of the allies. After saying that
he signed the agreement in accordance
with the governments instructions, aft
er handing to the Marshal a note of pro-
test Erzberger said
This is the message, little gratifying
in itself, which / have had to bring. The
world knows Germany does not wish and
is unable to conduct a fresh war but,
though it is possible to render us de
fenseless, we must not be made honor
less"
KonstaBtine Fehrenbach, the president
Of the national assembly, said that the
members of that body were impressed
with the painful nature Of the negotia-
tions at Treves, and added:
"The entire German nation is full of
apprehension of this agreement and its
results"
A motion to adjourn debate on the ar
mistice conditions was agreed upon.
