quarters that differences which have
arisen have not reached the status of

APPREHENSION AMONG
AMERICANS BECAUSE
OF SLOW PROGRESS
BRIG. GEN. COLE
REACHES BOSTON
Officers of Famous 26th Division Get
Home and Receive Enthusiastic
Welcome from City.

BOSTON, April l.-Brig. Gen. Charles
H. Cole, forerunner of the heroic New
England division of infantry, and himself
the possessor of the croix de guerre, ar
rived in Boston yesterday afternoon and
was accorded a homecoming welcome
which in its whole-hearted sincerity near
" equalled the greeting given to Maj
Gen Edwards, former commander of the
division
As the gallant leader of the sd brig
adc alighted from the train at the South
station he was met with an extraordinary
demonstration, in which the cheers OF the
hundreds that packed the building were
mingled with the toots of locomotive
whistles and the screcehes of sirens. The
unmistakable evidence of the love and
admiration of Boston citizens for
Charles Cole brought smile to his
bronzed features and caused flush OF
pride to mantle the face q his wife.
He appeared the same Theery, lovabe
efficient leader of men that he was when
fire commissioner OF Boston: that he
was when chairman of the police board
that he was when acknowledgement, and
that he was when he joined the 9th regi
ment as private in April, 1917; but be
hind his smile lay hidden the spirit that
caused him to shout: ITO hell with the
gas masks-come on" when, ON goinG
over the top with the 10th regiment. hC
was told that his gas mask was missing.
And held in restraint behind his smile
also is a knowledge of the real facts con
corning the removal and subsequent re
instatement of Co Edward Logan as com
mander of the l0lst infantry, and which
Gen. Cole has intimated, he will max,
public just as soon as he receives his dis
charge from the army.

Rolled Pleats Stand
Out Over the Hips

MME. JENNY does something
novel in the way of achieving hip
fulness by making skirt of very
slim outline and applying to it rolled
pleats which stand out over the hips.
To make them even more pronounced
she pads these rolls, which swing
loose from the belt and disappear
gradually into the narrowing full
ness Of the skirt lower down.
The chemise dress, which has held
the centre of the fashion stage for
so long, was originally launched bv
Jenny. She still makes chemisc
dresses, which have been her fav-
orltes for the last three years, but
she does something which fits them
to hold their own among the wider
hip models. Now Jenny's chemise
dresses have wide panels hung at the
sides and turned up in a way that
gives the effect of punching hip
basque. She also puts bulging
pockets on the skirts of her tailored
suits and lines these pockets with
satin, arranging them to look as if
they were turned inside out.

Fulness at the 7 op

THE most striking feature OF
the autumn suits and gowns
is the increasing fulness at
the top Of the skirJs, The
ways in which the great French
dressmakers achieve this fulness are
interesting. One point on which
most of them agree is that the full
ness must be massed across the hips
leaving both front and back per-
fectly fiat.
Bulloz, however, has departed
from this by introducing fulness
across the, front of his new skirts,
thereby differing from the other de-
signers. He makes one skirt with
a full front panel gathered across
the top. A little above the knees this
panel has it's fulness joined to
shaped f1ounce cut so that the great
est fulness of the founce is at the
edge where it joins the panel.
An instance in which Bulloz, like the
Otho, dos ;uporc ,,loooJ +bo f,,1.z.-.
at the sides appears in a skirt which
has winglike pockets to give the
effect Of pannlers. This is decidedly
new and unusual on suit skirt.
The jacket which accompanies it
flares from the waist giving such
fulness about the hips that it ap-

Side Gore Trimmings
That Add to Width

RERNARD'S method of adding
width and attaining the full eff

the form of ruffled pocket flaps

is not an entirely new idea, for these

But although both skirt and coat

on the front of skirts, but this crea-
tor gives them further elaboration
by the rufIlcd flap. The coats which
accompany skirts of this sort are
three-quarter length and cut harino
with the fulness falling over the
hips. On these coats are placed
fringed pocket flaps and sometimes
dangling button trimming. All of
these things are applied to further.
accentuate the width at the hips.
Paris dressmakers are vying with
one another in introducing startlipg
novelties that are just now having
their first showing. A craze # the
moment is the frock from Premet
shown at the extreme right. Jade
green satin is the material used for
1t and the embroidery is of jade and
silver Premet, in this model, obtains
the breadth across the hips by plac
ing double frills of silver lace down
the sides of the skirt, bordering a
tablier panel; thus creating an en-
tirely new silhouette. The satin
bodice is snugly moulded to the fig
ure and a sash of the satin placed
about the waist disappears beneath
the nanpl at thn front

skirts topped only by bright colored
sashes produce some of the new
dance frocks. From the house of
Brandt in Paris comes such a dance
frock. 1t is simply a black satin skirt
attached to sash. The long, slender
train is made Of ribbon. A vivid
bit Of color is introduced by having
the sash corsage and train of or
chidee pink satin ribbon. The ribbon
used for the train is very much mar
rover than that which forms the
sash bodice. The shoulder straps
are of jet beads. Slippers of or
chidee satin with stockings to match
are worn with this frock.

small but of medium size. Tho

REAL FACTS
ABOUT HUNGARY
The Roun1anion Side

In an appeal 70 the president of the
United States" the Hungarian complains
that the American people had SO little
opportunity 10 hear Hungarias side Of
the story" but the truth is that tho
American people knows very little about
Roumania and the Roumanians. And
this has given a good opportunity 20
the enemy Of Roumania--and enemy of
al of the allied governments. including
the government OF the United States
TO carry a destructive propaganda
against the little Roumania, which. as
you know. has sacrificed 50 much for
the cause of humanity and the great
ideal for which this country too has
sen. its sons TO shed their noble blood
in order 10 save the civilization. and the
sacrifice made by the Roumanians. the
little ally from the Near East hopes
that the Americans will give deep CON
sideration to their Just claims.
The Roumanian story Is well pictured
by the Buffalo Express.
Roumania went into the war at a
time when her support promised TO be
of the greatest value to The allies. Like
Italy. Ioumania had been put under
the strongest pressure to take the Ger
man side and, if she had yielded. the
allies might well have been forced 10
accept a German peace long before the
United States had made up its mind
60 help them Roumania. like Italy. de-
