tribunal, Premier David Lloyd
George announced in the House
Of Commons this afternoon.
This was the first official pro
uounccment regarding eXpiation
OF the -kaiscr's crimes against
civilization since publication of
tie peace treaty. 1t was regarded
as removing all doubt as TO the
allies intention to bring the
"war Iord'' TO justice.
The treaty contains provision
for trial of Wilhelm, but the i'm
preston had prevailed in some
quarters that rctribution for tile
former kaiser might be allowed
to lapse into moral rather than
physical punishment.
The attitude of the Dutch
government regarding cxtradi-
ton Of Wilhelm now is cloudy.
Statements by officials in llol-
l1ud have shown an inclination
against turning him over 10 any
other than the German govern
meni, but the belief has been
expressed III unofficial circles at

Handy ContriVance Aids In Transfer.
ring Lingerie Straps From One
Garment to Another.

Lingerie straps, which can be trans
ferred from one undie to another by
simply unsnapping the snap fasteners
are dainty things to give and handy
things to have.
You might make them of batiste and
trim them with fine cross-st1tching in
pastel colors. You might hemstitch
them in colors, or you might button
hole the edges.
Then you might make them Of satin
white washable satin preferably.
These are very attractive when they
are trimmed with small chiffon flow
ers just where they are snapped to
the garment.
Ribbon may also be used. French
knots in pastel colors or small embroi-
dered dots will lend themselves very
successfully as means Of trimming
these straps.

"What 1 want first is life," said the
alleged philosopher. "The will to live
is fundamental, and needs no explana-
ton. 1 want health, because without
If I am half dead. / want food, shell
ter and clothing to sustain life; and
want association with my fellows In
order to expand it. 1 want freedom to
satisfy these wants to the fullest ex-
tent: therefore, I want everyone TO De
free. And I want everyone to want
freedom so that they will cooperate
with me in getting it. l want knoWl-
edge to understand my wants and give
me the power to satisfy them; and
want others to share this knowledge
so that we can work together for still
greater satisfaction. / want no master
to restrict my energies, and no slave
to restrict my independence. I want
cultured and educated people about
me: therefore, want everyone to have
education and culture. want to live
in a world where no one Is nervous, or
worried or afraid. Therefore | want
to abolish poverty and the competition
of man against man. 1 want all the
energies which the world is now ex-
hausting ir war applied to the manu-
facture Of the things we want. And
want these things distributed freely
for the peoples use, by system OF
distribution which would make war un-
thinkable. So I don't want much-only
a worldwide revolution"
"There's no need Of wishing you
prosperity" said young woman of
sixty-fve. ''That is equivalent to wish
ing that somebody else has worse luck
than you. I can't wish you more hap
piness, because that may mean any
thing from intoxication to vegetation.
What wish for you is youth-the con-
slant consciousness that life is ahead
of you, not behind, and constant will
lingness to go ahead and welcome it."
"My best wish," said a man who
thinks he is thinker, ''is that your
own best wish comes true. The trouble
with most people is that they want you
to have what they want and think you
ought to want, not what you actually
do want yourself. 1 don't know what
you want most and don't care, but I
hope you get it."

VELOURS SAILOR FOR GIRLS
Hat May Be Perfectly Straight, Roll
BrImmed or the Simple Tri-
corne Model.

The most popular hat this year TOT
general wear for the girl of any age
from babyhood to high school is the
soft, fluffy velours sailor. The hat may
be perfectly straight, it may be ron

a simple tricorne. If straight or roll
brimmed sailor, plain ribbon bano is
the trimming chosen, and for the trl-

For girls the latest thing is the short
fur wrap which is shaped like a f1chu
and which crosses in front and fastens
at the back with a large button and
loop. This is an eminently coZy gar

course be worn by a girl Of slender

shoulders and chest would make the

be used to fill the demand for softly
swathed and full-draped effects. There
has been talk Of satin for some time
to succeed the heavy winter fabrics,
and some very smart models have
been seen in heavy cire satin. With
it kolinsky is used with telling eff

vow to refrain from indulgence In
strong drink for a whole year.
The practice Of beginning the new
year with good resolutions, however
is very, very old. The custom goes
back to the beginnings of recorded his
tory and was common to many peoples
Time was when the New Years
resolution was a solemn affair, marked
by elaborate religious ceremonies. For
example, the Japanese, 300 years be-
fore Christ, made much of the day. All
outstanding accounts and debts were
cleared away, all enmities were ended
under penalty Of the law. The dwell
ing house was swept and garnished :;
old furniture and old clothing were
cast away in exchange for new in the
belief that the assumption Of a new
conscience was complete only with the
assumption of a new covering for the
body.
BY contemporary peoples was the
New Year day regarded as time of SOL
emn renunciation of all follies and an
amendment for the future. In the days

bolized their publication with elabor-
ate baths and fasting; the Persians
and Phoenicians greeted the New Year
with prayer to the heather images and
with f1agellations.
With the passing Of the centuries old
New Years vows have lost their for
NAL character. Turning over a new
leaf" is now a matter of individual
and not national concern. Swearing
off, is even a favorite jest with the
humorist and cartoonist.
Nevertheless, the modern man is
more sensitive to the appeal Of the
New Year than he shows in public.
What makes the New Year is the new
ness Of life that human nature brings
into it. It is New Year to everybody
according as everybody tries to live
over again, and pushes forward and
turns plan to action and discourage
ment to hope. People rely too much
on resolutions to make year new.
