TREATY is DEFECTIVE.
English Paper Says That Is Why Amer
leans Rejected It.

LONDON. Nov. 2o-The Manchester
Guardian, commenting editorialIv on
the American attitude toward the peace
treaty said:
:" Whatever the result, it Is essential
for Europe to understand that Ameri-
can opposition is mainly the outcome
not of narrow nationalism or lack Of
imagination, and still less political
maneuvering. II is rooted in the faults
of the treaty itself
1.-The covenant was born in an at.
mosphere of passion. Many of its arti
cles are ambiguous, impractical and in
equitable. But dominating as the act
is, il has behind il in Europe not the
forces of reaction and Imperialism. but
the enthusiasm and aspiration of DEM
oeraeies. who see III il a basis where
en- structure must and will rise, and
who count 1t disaster if the hand Of
America is withheld from that work. :

uIapery. In the underskirt and over
skirt the satin stripe in the fabric
runs horizontally, but in the bodice
and sleeves the stripes are yer
tical. All the interest in this frock
centers in the management of the fab.
ric, for nothing else is used. The long
overdress is caught up in two very
deep plaits to form the suggestion OF
panniers at the sides and short tunic
at the back, and it is considerably
heightened at the left side, where II
ends over the split in the underskirt
The quaint bodice is extended into
n basque and joined to the skirt. A
square neck and elbow sleeves are fin
lshed with full. soft puffs of the silk.
A lace chemisette with falling frill
of lace across the front closes the story
of this piquant frock which is so un-
like its contemporaries. 1t has a
quaint and sprightly style and many
of the fibre-silk materials are especial
iy well suited to it.
The Colorado statesman., 1919-09-13

Among the experimental styles which
have blossOmed out for late summer
wear and that hope to survive In fash
ions for winter, here are afternoon and
evening froclIS that show much draping
of material about the figure. And so
dong as gowns or suits convey to us
ithnt they clOthe n supple, youthful and
corsetless figure, they are sure of at
tention. Not that figures are In reality
corsetless, or always youthful. But
these are the things that must be sug-
gested if the garment is to prove sue
cess. The task of conveying the fash
lIonabIe outlines lies with the corset
maker and the dressmalier, who are
very much aided by the softness and
limpness of the fabrics used.
One of the new draped frocks for
late summer is shown in the picture
above, made Of silk with a satin stripe,
Whether or not ii is an import, it has

her new fall coat for school wear, In
nite the attention of interested moth
ars. These are children in the kin
dergarten stage and they are well
clothed In the simple and good-looking
things that are pictured here.
There is hardly season which en-
tiers lacking light woolen coats In
black-and- white checks for girls and
misses. This one, for little lady OF
four years or so, Is cut to flare and Is
knee length. 1t has large patch pock-
cts, with pointed flaps, that support
handsome buttons, and shawl collar
of the checked material. The buttons
are the special pride and glory of this
coat and three of them serve to fns-
ten It at the front. They are black
with a ring of white, to match them to
the coat. The over collar and straight
cuffs of white pique which lend so
much snowy freshness to this smart
little coat are, of course, detachable.

clothes for small boys these are the
first essentials after the choice of fab
ric Is made. After these matters are
disposed of, design is considered, and
II would be hard to find anything more
engaging than this snappy little out
at. The short pants turn under at the
bottom and fasten with elastic at the
knee. The plain blouse Is plated into
wide belt in which long, vertical but
tonholes are worked. 1t has long
shoulders and long sleeves and regu-
lation sailor collar, trimmed with the
usuaf three rows of braid. There are
two rows on the sleeves, and on the
left arm a very grand and impressive
looking insignia. But the crowning
glory of this suit, as of the little girls
coat, are the very large and hand
some buttons that look more than
equal to holding the pants and waist
together. The belt laces together at
the left side, and wide silk tie COM
pletes the splendor of an outfit which
shows its wearer to be person of con-
siderable consequence In a world Of
his own.

PREPARES DATA
 FOR CONFERENCE:

London. Jan. 7-Count von Bern storf, former German ambassador to the United States, Is working every day at the German foreign office pre- pairing data for the peace conference, according to a Berlin despatch to the Express. The count told the Express correspondent that he endorsed the plaa for a league of nations, in which he saw the only way to prevent war by limitation of arrnaments.
 We entirely agree with Premier Lloyd George and want to get rid of universal military service" he said.
 Count yon Bernstorf thought the German national assembly would meet on Jan. 23, but believed it was unlikely to pass off without trouble, and hoped the government would be firm enough to deal with the situa- tion'
 They will only have to shoot once," he said.
 It was unthinkabIe that the former Emperor or any member of his family would again rule over Germany, Count von Bernstorff said. Asked if there was no danger in Will liam Hohenzollern being so near in Holland. the count replied: Where the hell were we to send | him ?"

THE FIRST
 -.. GENERAL ELECTION

The first national election in the United States was held 130 years ago today, Jan. T, 17s9. The Presidential electors so chosen met in February to vote for president and vice-pres1- dent. Each elector voted for two candidates for the highest office. under provision that the candidate receiving the largest number of votes was to be declared president, while the second choice had to be content with the presidency. George Washington received 69 votes, and was elected president, while John Adams, with 34 votes, became president Others re- ceiving votes were John Jay, of New York, nine; R. H. Harrison, of Mary land, six; John Rutledge, of South Carolina, six; John Hancock, of Massachusetts, four; George Clinton, of New York, three; Samuel Hunt ington, of Connecticut, two; John Milton, of Georgia, two; James Armstrong, of Georgia, one; Edward Telfatr, of Georgia, one; Benjamin Lincoln, of Massachusetts, one. Be- fore the 1894 election the constitu- ton was changed so that electors voted for a president and vice-pres- ident..

"strafe" Made Prize of War

The British have taken "strafe." In an announcement from the Oxford Uni- versity Press the fact Is officially made known. The captured word has been included, not to say interned. in the latest volume. Volume TX. of the Oxford dictionary. And as trophy of war 1t has been treated after a characteris- tically British fashion. Its fiat Teu- ton "a" has been changed to the long English "a" as of "safe," and from two syllables it is reduced to one, so that it may rhyme with 'chafe."
 Nor does the process of eliminating Germany in this verbal instance stop on the mere point of pronunciation. To the compilers of the Oxford lext- con it Is ''v. slang" So in captivity this word of portent originally fierce loses not only in quantity but in quail ity. To quote the London Times, as cited by the dictionary makers, "strafe is becoming a comic English word."

]. .OND0N PAPERS
 0N ROOSEVELT

London, July Tn discussing the death of Theodore Roosevelt, the Times says:
 "In politics, as in all else, he was a vigorous fighting man and dealt hard blows. His opponents smarted under them, but the most determined enemies in that field were just as proud of him as great citizen as were the rest of the American people. He cannot be ranked with the lofty or creative geniuses of politics, but his name will go down among those of American presiden with some thing of a character that attaches to the name of Lincoln; as one who was q. great abiding force in morals as well as politics and who served his coun- try with unwearied earnestness and zeal"
 The Post says:
 Tt is not every voice that carries across the Atlantic, but Roosevelts undoubtedly did. It was listened to here almst as attentively as in Amer ica, and its familiar, downright ac- counts will be missed. The world can ill spare it's big men now, and even the strongest opponents ot RooseYelts policies admit that Roose- welt was a big man."

TOOK PHOTOGRAPHS OF GEAR
Movie Operation Was Privileged to Get "ciose-Up" Views of the ir1-

Tn 'Donald Thompson in Russian" the movie photographer tells how he succeeded in getting a picture of the CERT after the revolution had begun. He went out to Tzarskoye Selo, the palace near Petrograd where the royal family were confined, and from dis tance saw the cZar and his son walk Ing in the yard. 'rThe servants must have told him,s writes Mir. Thompson, Sfor the csar sent word to me to come saying that he would allow me to make B picture as close as wished. told him that had met him before in 1915, and had made pictures Of him then at the front and at Lemberg. He remem- bered and immediately spoke Of Mouse. the English photographer. While ] was making pictures and the camera was being reloaded so that could put in some new film, several of the soldiers came up close, while the czar WIS watching how the camera was loaded. They were smoking. One of them elbowed the czar away and at the same time blew smoke directly in his face. But the czar didn't show that he was annoyed by this. After had made some motion picture films of him and his son, and also some still photo graphs, I saluted and said 'good-by.' He answered 'good-bY.' While walk ing away I glanced around. He was still looking after me ard talking to i bis son."

FIRE DEPT. MECHANICS
 RAISED TO S2,25O

An ordinance granting three ma chinists in the fire department salary increases was adopted by the Board of Aldermen at their meeting last night. The raise will take effect January IS and the men who aro now receiving $1,S5O per year, will receive $2,250. The recommenda- ton was made by Alderman Edward J. McManus, chairman of the com mtttee on ordinances, and was adopt ed by a unanimous vote.
 When the recommendation was read Alderman John A. Cornell asked if the revision called for a raise in salary and if so, whether or not the funds were on hand. Alderman McManus explained that the recon mendations originally came from the Board of Fire Commissioners and the city clerk then informed the mayor that the necessary funds were obtainable.
 Several resolutions and petitions were read, all of which were report ed to committees and will be brought up at the next meeting of the board on January 20.

CANNOT INSPECT .,r.
 .-... LAKE co. BOOKS

Henry Michaels is denied the priv ilege of inspecting. the books of the Lake Torpedo Boat Co, according to q decision handed down yesterday by Judge Frank D., Haines of the su
 perior court. Michaels brought ac- ton for an order requiring the com pany to allow him to. inspect its books, as he is the owner of f;510 shares of common stock of the com pany. The company demurred to the action, and Judge Haines has sus- tained the demurrer which was ar gued a couple of weeks ago. The company's claim Is that such open ing of the books would not be proper as it is engaged in government work.
