Washington, November 27.-The House appropriations committee is determined to carry out rigid policy of retrenchment. Chairman Good announced today. The committee is holding hearings on two of the major appropriation measures, an Chairman Good said that one of them, the legislative. executive and judicial. would be ready for the House shortly after Congress convened on December 6.
 The sundry civil bill will be reported immediately after the first of the year, the chairman said, adding that Congress would be able at the short session to dispose of all appropriation measures.
 While efforts will be made to reduce expenditures and the number of govern ment employees. MT. Good said, We are not going on the assumption that there is not single government department or bureau that does not need an increased appropriation and more employees.

Nv Assoc,ate<1 prr.. .-.,s <,


 Cleveland. Ohio. November N.Tne semi-annual meeting of the National Cloak, Suit and Skirt Manufacturers as- sociation here today was attended by more than 300 delegates, who discussed the new fashions for spring as displayed by living models at the style show this afternoon
 No very radical changes are shown from the lines of fall and winter gar ments. Skirts continue short and straight The slender silhouette predon,- mates and the youthful spirit was ex- pressed in many garments shown.
 Individuality is the keynote of early spring apparel said Philip Frankel, ex- ecutive secretary of the association. Every woman will have opportunity to express her own personality through se- lection of the variety of models offered by the manufacturers for 1921"
 A wide choice in suits was displayed in straight, boxy jackets and closer-ft- ting suit coats with ripples at the sides and flat, hanging panels front and back. Eton and bolero models give new effects with scallops, uneven hems and coat edges Tailored suits with and without belts are cut severely slender.
 Skirts are short with a suggestion of more fullness in some cases with panels, tunics, hem trimmings and pleatings.
 Wrappy coats and capes will be gen. erally worn, slender shoulders marking both in soft and delicate fabrics.
 Trimmings include beading and braid ing, pecot edgings and new flat floss embroidery.

DENY REPORT J. 5.
 REPRESENTATIVE ID BE AT INAUGURATION
Will Be Impossible for Sum merlin to Be Present Unless Ordered By Government
 to Attend
By Associated Press


 Mexico City, November N.-Newspaper reports that the American charge d'af- faires, George T. Summerlin. had accept ed an official invitation to attend the iI- augural ceremonies on December l. were denied today the charge asserting that he is awaiting instructions in the mat ter from Washington. Unless he is or- dered to attend, he says it will be i'm possible for him to be present, inasmuch as this act undoubtedly would be con- strued as implying recognition of the Oh- regon government. Members of the dip lomatic corps in Mexico, City, excspt for representatives of governments whIcn already have recognized the new Mexican regime, are in a quandary over the in- auguration, the diplomats appreciatiIAg. as does Mr. Summerlin, that attendance implies recognition
 It is understood the French charge. Count Victor Ayguesparss, will attend in diplomatic uniform. which is taken here to confirm the prevalent belief that France will recognize the Obregon gov ernment immediately The count several days ago addressed congratulatory let ter to the Mexican secretary of foreign relations, Dr. c. Hidaigo, using tho for malities employed only between rccos- nized diplomats. and rumor in official cir cles is that this merely presages formal recognition.
 The Italian charge. Stefano Carrara. will attend, but not in uniform. The Japanese charge, it is understod will follow the action of the American charge. Great Britain officially is not represented here.
 Argentina, Chile, China and Guatemala having recognized the provisional govern ment, will send accredited ministers. and several Latin American nations, inciud- ing Salvador and Uruguay. have an- nounced that special delegations will at tend the ceremonies.

S|LESIA P[EbISC|TE QUESTION SETTLED Plan to ForestalI German Ef- fort to Pack Province With
 Huns for Voting
By Assosiated Press

London. November sl-- Premier Lloyd George cf Great Britain and Pre- fnier Leygues of France. comforting until a late hour this evening, def- nitely settled the vexatious question of the upper Silesian piebiscite in man ner the heacs or the two governments blicve vii; rorcstaI what they think is Germany's efforts to pack the province with Germans for voting purposes.
 Under the plan of the premiers, the vote will be taken on several days, the status of a citizen to govern when he shall vote. It will be arranged that known citizens of the province whom the plebiscite officials are confident have lived there number of years will vote on one day. Others who have lived in the province a shorter time will vote an- another day, and those who recently set tied will vote on another day. Should the latter category swing the plebiscte in favor of Germany and the bona flde citizens vote against Germany, the allies are likely to declare the plebscte void.
 The near eastern question was post poned until the arrival of Count Sforza, the Italian foreign minister, on Sunday. 1t will be taken up in one of the two conferences the premiers will hold Mon day. Italy is so vitally interested in the question that the premiers today de- cided 1t would be waste of time to discuss it until Count Sforza was pres ent They decided also not to invite former Premier Venizelos of Greece, as they could discuss the situation with him only as private citizen. The premiers expressed the hope that they would be able to arrive at complete understand ing regarding the near east at one con- ference with Count Sforza on Monday.
