TO RESTRICT INVESTIGATIONS.
Not to inaugurate Whole

Republicans Not to inausurate Whole
sale Probe Of Conduct Of War.
by E. G. Dougherty.]
Special to Times Republican.
Washington, May 14-To investigate
or not to investigate the conduct OF the
war seems TO be one OF the big Ques-
tions that republican congressional
leaders are debating these days when
the reopening of'congress is 80 near.
So many republican members have
announced intentions Of proposing in
vestigaions that 1t has become obvious
to the leaders that some settled party
policy in regard to war probings must
be adopted. To keep the party from
devoting ali Its time to Investigations,
It is felt that there must be some
limitations on the individual members.
So far as ideas Of limitations have
taken form they are:
First-Greatly restrict il not entirely
forbid investigation of the manages
ment Of the American Expeditionary
Forces.
Secondly-Keep away from inyesti-
cations OF productions of machines and
materials for the war and general
questions OF business management
.lThird-Limit war department lives

Postmaster General Burleson; the dis
position Is that the more the investi-
cations the better. In this category
VIII come proposed probes of the fuel
and food administrations, the enemy
alien property custodian's office, the
agricultural department the employ
ment service and the disposition that
has been made OF the nationally owned
shipping since the armistice.
The prevailing thought now is that
the republicans mus, use their control
of the next congress in passing con-
structiNe REIMBURSEMENT and recon
struCtive legislation and in generally
shaping the nations after the-war
course rather than in devoting a great
deal Of time 10 studying the past.
The attitude of chariness toward in
vcstigations OF the American EXpedi
tionary Forces and the production for
war purposes is largely based on the
idea that il Will be of no benefit either
to the nation or the republican party
to stir up those by-gone subjects. The
feeling in regard TO the eXpeditionary
forces is that ii wrote a brilliant page
in American military history and that
to try to ascertain the truth regarding
the thousands of grievances soldiers
are bringing home will only besmirch
the national honor without accomp-
fishing any great good.
Great pressure is being brought to
bear on members of congress from
many quarters TO get them TO go
thoroughly into an analysis OF all the
great contracts and industrial projects
of the war This pressure may prevail
in the end. but the conviction OF the
party leaders as a whole is that such
Investigations are politically danger

credits out of the capital it already
possesses, without call for special
appropriations by Congress.

By Margaret Robe


NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-There are
not only silver threads among the
gold but both silver and gold not to
mention the copper threads interming)
ling midst the warp and wool of all
the smartest fabrics for day wear Oh

Positively we get mole metallic

es it won't take many carats at that.
The perfectly gorgeous metallic
brocodes Of China and Japan are hav.
ing a great wave Of favor for even
ing gowns draped to the figure and
far evening wraps that are the acme
Of Orientalism. Personally, fear the
heavily gold and silver incrusted ma
terials are bit scratchy when in too
intimate a juxtaposition to ones cpl
dermis but one remembers always the
old adage that one must suffer to be
beautiful and the large feather fans
of the moment prove excellent screens
to conceal any necessary local treat
ment.
The rich pletallic embroideries and
brocades are really the most wonder
full expressive fabrics for the even
ing costumes of this most expensive
and extravagant era but they simply
won't stay in their proper sphere.
They insist on weaving in on frocke
and suits of sober daytime utility
wear and embellishing neutral-toned
duvetyne and practical surges with
reckless abandon,
Cold motifs enhancing the charms
of all shades of brown are effective
indeed, and silver on blues or greys
are stunning. The CLINT of metal is
as necessary to the success Of the pres
ent day garment as it is to its purI
chase though it does take something
more than its CLINT to accomplish that
job.
Aside from the metallic threads in
the fabrics and the applied metallic
embroideries, metal in its natural
state has us in its golden grip in the
form of ornate belts of coins and me-
dallions, girdles of woven gold and
silver wires and links and interviewer
scrolls. The more barbara and BIZ
zarre the design and effect the more
hase girdles are to be desired and

The belt in its more glorious and
