w HAT we designate as sports
w skirts are not confning their
usefulness to sports wear, but have
extended 1t to all sorts Of outdoorng,
including street wear. These snappy
skirts require blouses that are de-
signed for the same kind of service
and demand for attractive tailored
blOuses has been answered by the
appearance of fine models In taffeta,
pOngee, crepe de chine and satin.
As nearly all the skirts are striped
or made of plalds and checks. the
blOuses are simply designed and plain.
Some of them have lingerie collars aad
vestees by which means they may be
always kept fresh looking, but the
smartest style requires the simplest
and most casual designing. A blouse
of exactly this character appears at
the left Of the two shown above in n
dark blue tafTeta silk. Many of these
taffeta blouseS are made I'm the slip

and having shallow "V" at the
front. They are finished with mar
row, picOt-edged ruilleS OF the silk as

ends with small balls or other orna-
ments are provided for them, but some

Floyd Bay and c. +. Wcppner, on re-
cruiting duty here under Randall, have
been ordered to Denver They will
leave Denver for active duty at sea
about Feb. Is, Randall said. Fielder
and Bay are Pueblo men.
This is the first time tho recruiting
station has been closed here for two
years. The last time it closed on oct
:. 1918. and again rcopened Jan, o.
1919. The reason for closing ii Mt this
time is that tho navy is full. Randall
declared. however, that he did not con-
slider the closing in Pueblo as perma-
nent. II Is likely that the station will
be reopened, within three or four
months, he asserted. The grand total
of men now enlisted in the United
States navy is l43, 900. he said.
The Pueblo station has been in cx-
istcnce since 1913. c. II. Randall first
took charge here in March. 1917. i'm
before the outbreak of the
World war. He was in charge thruout
the entire period of the war. and was

The reichstag was well filled. but
only a few persons gathered outside
to learn the governments decision.
After short historical review. the
foreign minister expressed surprise
at the abrupt abandonment of the
Seydoux scheme of the Brussels fl
nancial conference which was ap
proved, he said, by both France and
Great Britain. He defended the
vagueness of his proposals at Spa on
the ground of the many factors max
ing for uncertainty. He described the
entente note as the hasty outcome OF
difficult negotiations. He promised
that the German government would
loyalty carry out its disarmament OBJ
legations and would put himself into
communication with the various
states of the empire.
He then entered into a long dis
cussion on rcparations.

man foreign minister. defining the
attitude of the government on repar-
ations, according to the Berlin cor
respondent of The Times, declared
that the question whether delegates
would be sent to London. was depen-
dent on whether the entente regard
cd their decisions in the light of
proposals and objected to counter
proposals in the negotiations there or
WHetner tne tdrlS utClSiona consul
tuted conclusions on which there
could be no discussion.
The German government would
evade an actual invitation to Lon
don. requesting whether the delegates
would be received as ncgotiators or
simply 10 receive the decision. II
tho entente decided to admit ngo-
tiations, the delegates would attend
with definite proposals.
Dr. Simons inveighed against tho
idea of spreading the reparations pc
riod over i2 years which was : more
than tho treaty allowed. He pointed
out that the treaty provided for rep
arations only to the civilian popu-
lation suffering specific damage and
that Germany had the right to be
heard in the examination OF these
claims.
II is generally regarded, according
to the correspondent. that the pro-
