VIEWS ON WORLD NEWS
Written by j. w. T. Mason, United
Press Expert.

New York, April 17.-Premier
Lloyd Georges attack on Lord North
cliffe in the house of commons means
that the two strongest men in Great
Britain, after having helped win the
war together, have changed sides on
the policy of post war reconstruction.
The fight between them is due pri-
marily to Lord Northcliffe's belief
that Lloyd George is clinging to the
Tory reactionaries for support in par
lament and is not working for the
interest of the laboring classes.
Before the war, Lord Northcliffe
was a conservative and Lloyd George
was a radical. Lloyd George now,
however, is the head of a ministry
which is ostensibly a coalition cabinet,
but in reality owes its life to the sup
port of the conservatives.
Lord Northcliffe, on the other hand.
believes the English government
should adopt progressive policies
which are distastefuI to the reaction
aries. Lloyd George has shown no
inclination to follow Lord Northcliffe's
suggestions in the matter. The diff
ference of viewpoint between them on
the kind of ministers necessary to
carry out reconstruction reforms has
led to an estrangement which now in
cludes numerous other differences as
well.
The probable downfall of the
Lloyd George ministry soon after the
peace treaty is signed is foreshadowed
by the open break between the pre-
mier and Lord Northcliffe. The
opinion of the country apparently has
been rightly sensed by Lord North
cliffe, for two recent by-elections in
England have administered heavy de-
feats to the coalition candidates.
Owing to Lloyd Georges violent at
tack upon Lord Northcliffe, a change
in the premiership will be attributed
to Lord Northcliffe's influence. Lord
Northcliffe, thus apparently is des-
tined to come once more into the
title of England's modern Warwick.

THE HOUSEHOLD

How Many Hats?


The average woman should have
at least four hats a year" quoth
millinery expert the other day, and
then he continued to say that the well
dressed woman should have as many
Is sixteen to twenty, which number,
thought this expert, would carry her
thru nicely
Well, to begin with, just what is an
average woman? We have heard a
lot about her and we have made asser-
ton about her, no doubt, but as yet
and usually when a woman speaks OF
the average woman she means
woman in much the same circum-
stances as herself.
1t is probably true that the young
woman who works for her own living
and who is dressed for the street al
most every day, does have usually
about two hats a season. making four
a year. She really needs that many
to appear well because they actually
wear out when they are worn con-
stantly. But with the woman who
has not so great a demand for street
clothes, the housewife either in city
or country, the demands would be diff
ferent She might possibly get along
on two hats a year even when her
total dress allowance was as great as
that of the business girl who needed
four hats a year. Perhaps she could
make over a last seasons hat so that
she could get along really nicely on
this two hat-a-year scheme.

DRESS
France Has Determined to Bring Dark
Blue Serge Back Into Fashion. and
Several Particularly Good Gowns
Appear Among the New Models.
BY ANNE RIITENHOUsE.

New York.-American dressmakers
said in January that there was
strong feeling against blue serge in
this country. They felt it would last
thru spring and summer, and it was
quite evident that there was a with
drawal of the public from this favorite
fabric.
Serge gowns were sold at reasonable
prices and made up in many common
place ways. but they did not bring out
the public money as did the newer
materials and colors.
Now, just after we thought the ques-
ton of dark blue serge was settled, in
comes France with dozen or two of
admirable serge gowns in dark navy
blue. They arrive ill the new collec-
tons from the best houses. They are
brought over by the best importers.
and we are face to face with the prob
lem of accepting or refusing a fabric
which we have made famous, but for
which we have recently expressed
WEAKNESS. "a
The odds are that it will be accepted
in some measure. If the public is gen.
timely tired of blue serge, which it
proved by refusing to buy it for the
last year, it will continue to be obsti-
nate even tho the best French gowns
are made of it, but spring weather
changes our views about clothes as
well as food. and life in general.
Trimmed With Silk Fringe.
These new French serge frocks are
trimmed with imitation ostrich, made
of curled silk fringe. You probably
know that kind of trimming very well.
1t was used on a number of the best
gowns sent over from Paris last au-
tumn and was copied in American
| froclzs to some extent, but it did not
arouse enthusiasm.

INVESTIGATES CHARGE
American Board of Foreign Missions
Looks Into REHABILITATION Work.

Boston. April 1.-THE American
board Of commerce for foreign mis-
sions is investigating the conduct of
one of its missionaries who is reported
to have engaged in pro- Bulgarian ac-
tivities. The matter was brought to
the attention of the office of the board
here by the state department. 1t is
made known that definite and decisive
action will be taken as soon as the
case is clear.
In a statement today DIR. william E.
Stngng,i secretary of the educational
department of the American board, de-
clares the reports from Washington
yesterday were misleading and in most
of Its charges unture. This report was
credited to Assistant Secretary of
Stale Phillips. and was that the board
haA been been advised by the state
department on formal charges of pro-
Gefman activities and political inter
ference by missionaries, both in Bull
Earia and Northern Persia.
a specific charge was that the mis-
ni0naries had used funds designed to
aid war sufferers, to further the cause
of. Bulgaria and indirectly the cause
Of. Germany and Austria Hungary
Doctor Strong pointed out that the
American board had no missionaries
in Persia. and he added that no
the American board of missionaries
had been forwarded to the board by
the, state department. Later he issued
the following statement:
''The report. appearing in some of
the morning papers, telegraphed from
washington of pro-German activity by
missionaries of the American board is
SENSATIONAL, misleading, and in most
of Its charges untrue. The American
board has no missionaries in Persia.
II Is certain that its missionaries are
not pro- German in their sympathies.
.It is now carefully investigating
report brought to its attention by the
state department of pro-Bulgarian ac-
tivAty on the part of one of it's mis-
sionaries not now in Bulgaria. 1t is in
communication with the state depart
ment thereaboutss and will take def
nice and decisive action as soon as
the case is cleared. There can be no
question as to the loyalty of the Amer
ican board and its missionaries to the
U1ited States and to the cause of all
the allies"

Grace Cathedral Tonight.

Today being Maunday Thursday
there will be a service of the Holy
Communion at Grace cathedral at 8
o'clock this evening. Maunday Thurs
day is the commemoration of the in
stitution of the Lords Supper. 1t is
the only occasion during the year

dark blue serge trimmed with fine
black silk fringe curled like ostrich.
There is a flounce at each side from
the hips.
Even the veritable ostrich trimming
found the public cold over here, al
tho in Paris it had a great success.
The American dressmakers have twist
ed and turned in every way to induce
their patrons to wear gowns or wraps
trimmed with ostrich tips or ostrich
fringe, but without success.
France is obstinate, however. If she
likes fashion she will stick to it and
put it over and over on the public until
it is accepted. Therefore it is not sur
prising to those who observe her ways
to find she has sent over new gowns,
especially those of dark blue serge.

imitation of ostrich.
You may remember that such orna-
mentation was put on black taffeta for
the mid-winter and used in very much
the same way that Jenny now uses it
on these new spring frocks.
Widening Sides of Skirts.
There is an evident desire among
the French designers to accentuate the
sides of the skirts thru drapery or
adornment. This was foretold by
American writers. and one saw evil
dences of it in each of the Paris frocks
that have filtered over here since
January.
The tendency is toward making the
front and back of skirt entirely plain
and putting all trimming over or down
the sides. beginning at the hips and
ending at knees or hem of skirt.

Paris which promises to be widely
copied in this country and sold at rea-
