The much heralded fare for en-

fashion journals is really very anus

way such suggestions are exploited
and later developed in the New York

rich embroideries this season and il
is well to so announce the style trend
Of the big modistes. 1t is also natural
that, upon inspecting the most re-

Washington, March 9.--Thc presi.

debated III the senate, Senator Lodge
declaring that It had laid bare the
difference in principle between Mr..
Wilson and the senate majority.
There isn't any objections made
by the opponents of Article Ten
here" said the republican leader,
that is not admitted and advocated
in this letter. II is set forth as n
definite and binding article founded
on naked force.
1T Is well that it has been said.
1t Justifics the position we have TAX
en- on this side all along that there
can be left no binding obligation ON

unfortunate"

France is in the least militaristic. y
II regret that the president also
should have taken occasion to say
something about Italy. The presi'

is based on considerations OF mill

when has it become a crime for a
nation to seek self-protection?'
Senator Lodge also read the presi.

willing to trust to counsel Of diplo

The whole peace conference was

Senator Owen, democrat. Oklahoma

said he refused to be a party to the

"To keep the United States out OF

communicate TO President Wilson gen.
eral decisions relative to Turkey by

ask his opinion, says "Pertinax" politi-

This was done by way of precau.

continues. "IIope is still entertained,
however, that America will shoulder
her part of the Oriental burden"

ton at Constantinople-the occupation
OF the war ministry, the arrest u

"The Paris ministry has persistently
