Jesuit Father Says
Prevailing Fashions
Running All Morals

London, April 2. - Prevailing
fashions in women's gowns were
vigorously assailed in a sermon re-
Gently by Rev. Bernard Vaughan,
the, widely known Jesuit father,
whose essays and sermons on
morality and home life have for the
past 20 years attracted great atten-
ton throughout the world.
''In days gone by ladies dressed
for dinner, now they undress for it,"
he declared. "Women's clothing
ought to serve the three purposes
of decency, of warmth and of orna-
ment. Girls who follow the
up-to-date fashions are running their
own and their neighbor's souls as
we'll as their own bodies. Designers
of fashion seem to be devoid as
much of taste as of principle"

WEALTHY SOCIALIST
LOSES IMPORTANT
BATTLE IN COURT
William Lloyd and 81 Co
Defendants Must Stand
Trial for Company.

Chicago, April 2.--William Bross
Lloyd, millionaire socialist" and
81 co-defendants lost an important
battle when Judge Hebel ruled they
must stand trial on charges OF con-
spiracy to overthrow the govern
ment and similar counts.
Lloyd and his fellow communists
had asked to have the indictments
against them .quashed. This was
def,i.si The court also refused
their demand for a bill Of particu-
lars regarding the conspiracy
charges, but granted a partial bill,
enumerating the books. papers and
other documents claimed to be
radical literature, to be introduced
by the prosecution at the trial.
Finally the court ordered all the
defendants to appear before him
next Monday when a definite date
will be set for their trial. 1t is ex-
pected the defense will exhaust
every resource in an effort to delay
the trial, but the government will
ask a speedy hearing.
All the defendants are members
of the communist labor party and
will be tried on indictments accus-
ing them of conspiracy to over
throw the American government
by force. They are accused of hav-
ing printed and distributed books
and pamphlets melting crime and
violence, disregard for all laws and
usages of society and to have advo-
Gated general disorder. They had
counted heavily upon having the
quashed and the action
today means they are up against
a hard fight.

Washington, April 2.-Depart-
mental extravaganza, particularly in
the output of publicity, has received
another wallop in the adoption of
two drastic measures attached by
the senate as riders to the legislative.
bill.
Senator Smoot of Utah. who is
leading the warfare on governmental
waste, is the author of the two rid
ers. One of them would place still
tighter restrictions on government
press agent activities. It would for
bid not only the publication of all
governmental journals and maya
zines, but would stop also mimeo-
graph handouts" which have been
issued in such abundance by various
departments in recent years, without
specific authorization of the Joint
congressional committee on print
ing.
Save Paper and Money.
Armed with such authority. the
joint printing committee is of the
opinion that it cannot only save
much valuable print paper at a time
when it is extremely scarce, but that
it can also curtail the waste of thou
sands of dollars of expenditures on
administration press agents salaries.
The other rider transfers to fhe
jurisdiction of congress the bureau
of efficiency which has heretofore
been part of the executive branch Of
government. Many times when de-
partmental heads have asked large
for clerk hire and
ether administrative expenses, con-
gressional committees have been un-
able to satisfy themselves of the
need of such sums and at the same
time have been reluctant not to
graft the request. With the bureau
of efficiency directly responsible to
congress it is believed that congress
can obtain expert information on
actual departmental needs and that
the loading down of the payroll
with superefluous employees can be
prevented.

Toxic, April 2.--What King
George of England said in conf.
derce to Marquis Saicnii and
Baron Maxine, Japan's two leading
peace delegates at Versailles, when
the two were granted a private
audience at Buckingham palace, the
subject matter being Woodrow
Wilson, president of the United
States, resulted in the hasty disso-
luton of the japanese diet recently,
according to the inside gossip in
Tokio's diplomatic circles.
According to this same gossip,
his Britannia majesty was far from
complimentary regarding President
Wilson in his frank talk with the
Japanese ENJOYS. To them. it was
said, he confded his private opinion
that there was altogether too much
of desire in the White House to
rule the worlds roest and quite too
keen a desire to have Europe re-
modelled along the lines of demo-
cratic marching club.
All which report, whether it was
actually said or not. is very pleasing
to many in Japan. 1t includes moth
ing which should call for general
election in this country. except for
the fact that what King George
is said to have said was blazoned
forth in a recent issue of the Gaiko

by the foreign Office. Thus it got
the seal of official approval and in

Big Addition to Costs.

Washington, April 2.-The whole
railroad controversy was placed be-
fore President Wilson today for the
third time since railroad labor filed
its demands for a general increase
in wages last summer.
In letter to the president. B. NJ
Jewell, chairman of the railway
committee, which constitutes the la
Dor party on the railroad wage
board, said he regretted very much
ito advise you of our failure to OBJ
tain any beneficial results from
these conferences.
The employees, Mr.. Jewell said,
were keenly disappointed at the po-
sition taken by the railway execu-
tives' committee, which announced
last night deadlock and the with
drawal of the railroad members
from the conference until such a
time as the public was given voice
in the proceedings. NILS.
Don't Ask for Board. .
Mr.. Jewell did not ask the presi-
dent to lay the wage controversy be-
fore the railway labor board which
is to be nominated by the president
as provided in the transportation act
and on which the public will have
representation.
Attached to Mr.. Jewell's letter
was correspondence setting forth
the attitude of the men and the ex-
ecutive committee. Z. +. Winter.
for the railway executives, wrote
that the executives did not believe
congress contemplated a settlement
involving so great an addition to
transportation costs without the pub
lie being represented in the confer
ences.
Replying to this letter, Mr.. Jewell
said he believed the reason given by
the managers for terminating the
negotiations was mot in accord with
our understanding of the law.
Situation Is Difficult.
Tho attitude ot.sy.o4,r eonaaittcc
in failing to carry out the wishes of
the president Of the United States
comes as a surprise to us" Mr..
Jewell wrote to Mr.. Whittier.
''We understand from this that
your committee has definitely de-
clined to assume the responsibility
and perform the duty which is so
clearly desired in the public inter-
est, and which the transportation
act. as we understand it, contem-
plates: That of agreeing in con-
ference upon rates of pay for rail-
road employees which are just and
reasonable"
Union officials reiterated that, at
the request of the president, they
were "going along to give the
transportation act a fair trial." al
though they did not indorse any of
its provisions. They took the po-
sition that with the breaking up of
the joint conference, the whole mat
ter was made more difficult. since
the union membership was becom-
ing restive.

At conference of Senator Lodge.
the republican leader, and Senator

mittee on military affairs, it was de-
termined that there shall be no dodg-
ing of the issue in the senate as
there was in the house.
Senator Lodge announced that the
army reorganization bill, containing
the provision for universal training,
would have the right of way in the
senate beginning next Monday.
For the first time there will be an
exhaustive discussion of the merits
of the question including considera-
tions of national defense, benefits to
the youth of the nation and the cost
of the system and of the entire mill
tary establishment.
Confident of Approval.
universal training is in the bill
and it is going to stay there, unless
the senate votes it out" said Sena-
tor Wadsworth.
The New York senator is conf
dent that the senate will approve
the universal training plan. If it
does the house also will be forced
to a showdown on the issue when
the amended bill goes back to the
representatives for acceptance or re-
lection.
The opposition to universal train
ing will concentrate on pleas of
economy, endeavoring to show that
the system will cost from $400,000,-
600 to $500,000,000 and raise the cos'
of the military establishment TO
more than ,000,00000O a year.
Backers Armed With Figures.
The proponents of the plan. how
ever, are armed with official figures
estimating the cost of the training
alone at $l00,n0000O in 1921 ana
increasing to the maximum of $751;
100000 in 1926. They also will show
that with universal training it will
not be necessary to maintain so
large regular army and that the
cost of the entire military establish
ment, including universal training in
1921 would be $645, 100000 compared
with $oS9,000,000 asked by Secretary
of War Baker for the army for 1921
without universal training.
The War department director of
finance has furnished the senate with
the following estimates of the cost
of maintenance of the military estab-
lishment with the regular army de- :
creasing in size and the training
quotas gradually increasing:
