The exquisite costumes designed

coming Of brocade in the evening

This mVans that embroidery will

Naturally brocade lends itself to
those lovely draped effects.
One gorgeous costume which
commands attention Is Of white bro

really an overskirt, draped yer the

of heavy white satin with tiny che

unconventional design near the

Real Russians


To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: To-day's issue Of The Tribune
reports the Princess Cantscuzene as
having stated in the course of her
address before the Allied Loyalty
League that the generals leading the
Red army are not real Russians. but
"the Braunsteins, Einsteins and EinkeI-
stems" Allow me, please, d little
space to tell the Princess that in the
first place, this is not in conformity
with the facts in the case, since all
important officers posts in the Red
army are held by old Czarist generals
there being not one Jewish general in
the ranks of that army. unless she
considers Trotzky q general (some
strength Of the imagination) and, in
the second place, it behooves the Prih-
cess Cantacuzene, least of all, to find
fault with the Jewish names in Rus
sian affairs, seeing that the name Of
her husband is still less Russian.
If priority is TO be rackoned With in
determining the right of man to run
things IL Russia, it may very easily
turn out that some of those Russian
Jews arc direct descendants Of those
ancient Khosars, the Jewish inhabi-
tants Of the lower Volga and Caspian
region, who traced and mingled with
the Russians as early as thousand
years ago, even before the founding Of
the Russian state. And it may also
turn out that some az those Jews could
trace their. lineage back to Prime Min
lister Joseph Of Egypt, or Prince Moses
Of the Pharaoh's Court, or King David
Of Israel, or Prime Minister Mordeca;
Of Persia and Media, or the nearest kin
of the Carpenter of Nazareth-every
one of these titles being much older
and more widely known than the Can
tacuzene principality. Therefore there
is little sense in finding fault with
those Jewish names.
In conclusion I should like 70 point
out to the Princess that her state
ment. II really true, implies tacit
admission that Jewish Red ,.eneral
knows better than White general Of
pure Russian stock how TO make Rus
sian soldiers fight, seeing that every
one Of the White generals has been
vanquished thus tar. This, however,
is altogether too hattering . cempii-

cially in view Of the notion which pre-

Bombing the Indiana

The effect of the explosion of a
single bomb containing 900 pounds
Of TINT on the deck of the old
battleship Indiana is shown by seven
photographs in to-day's illustrated
supplement.
In discussing this experiment the
chances Of hitting a ship from an
airplane and the probable methods
Of attacking a feet by bombing
planes and torpedo planes are also
considered.
Inasmuch as an air attack would
preferably be made at night, it might
easily be so timed that submarines
and destroyers could take part. 1t is
manifest that q feet menaced on
three planes simultaneously would
be forced to extend itself in defen~
sive tactics.
1t has been urged in these columns
that a modern navy must operate
on three planes--not on one, as was
tho case prior to the World War.
II has also been pointed out that the

probably the best American we have
to head the Cabinet and to have i'm
mediate charge of the State Depart-
ment~ So in preferring Mr.. Root
for the place there is no belittline Of
Mr.. Hughes or failure to acknowl-
edge his transcendent abilities. As
Attorney General he would be &C.
cupled with duties most congeniaI to
him. and his clear, legal mind and
warm social sympathies and ripe
knowledge of domestic affairs would
notably enrich the office.
On the other hand, Mr.. Root as
former Secretary of State. az a
member of the Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations, by his labors in
the international field and by the
prestige he enjoys abroad, is
equipped as is no other American to
handle foreign affairs. Probably no
one would more readily testify to
this fact than Mr.. Hughes himself.
50 there is no case of competition
between the two men.
In the makeup of the Cabinet The
Tribune has urged the inclusion Of
the Big Three-Root, Wood and
Hoover. 1t is time to enlarge the list
to the Big Four by adding the name
OF Mr.. Hughes. Senator Harding
clearly has an opportunity to estab-
lish his administration on a broad
foundation-to make it clear even to
the most captious that he is the sort
who has sufficient confidence in him
self to want to be surrounded by his

Brands Next Hurdle

Premier BRAND has cleared his
first hurdle with a one-sided vote of
confidence in the Chamber Of Depu-
ties. He created the impression
there that he will stand for repara-
tions, more or less adequate from
the French point of view, yet with
out foregoing the advantages of
British cooperation. Lloyd George
is personally we'll disposed toward
BRAND. But to what extent can
BRAND wean him away from the
Keynes policy, which the British
government has latterly been pur-
suing?
The peace treaty requires the rep
aration commission TO fix the sum Of
the German indemnity on or before
May /. The Keynes program aims at
keeping that sum to a minimum, in
the interest Of Germany's economic
rehabilitation. France is entitled
under the treaty to reparation for
damage done to civilians and their
property by the German occupation.
She wants to have German pay
ments cover her claims as fully as
possible. Here is a conflict between
two theorics--between the view that
the treaty must be enforced both be-

Why Martens Goes

The departure of Mr.. Martens
from America is welcome testimony
to the practical sense of the Ameri-
can people. Action has been long
delayed, the event is overdue
through no fault of public opinion.
The exit of the Soviet "ambassador"
follows definite refusal by the
American voter to be deceived bv
hlghfalutin' nonsense about free
speech and by talk of liberty.
The wall goes up from our intel
lectuals and radicals that the coun-
try is rejecting "ideas" when it re-
jects Mr.. Martens. There could not
be greater absurdity. 1t is not Mr..
Martens's ideas but his actions that
compel his deportation. The theo-
ries of Lenine and Trotzky circulate
freely in Americans freely as
audiences can be found willing to
listen to them. 1t is only when those
ideas are translated into action, into
definite conspiracy to overthrow
our government by force, that the
law objects. 1t was precisely such
a conspiracy that Mr.. Martens
sought to incite and abet with Rus.
sian money. r."
American thought has. It's weak
spots, but a certain clear-headed
common sense that looks through
hne phrases to the actualities behind
them has saved the country in the
past and can save it again. It en-
aoied the country to accept conserip-
ton without hesitation, while the
liberals of England. for example,
clinging to the shell of a phrase.
fought for the unjust and wasteful
volunteer system to the last ditch.
Lincoln accepted conscription in ex-
actly the same open-minded, practi-
cal fashion, and his mind was of the
essence of America.
lhe plain truth is that in the
name of liberty and under the
gulse of the free propagation of
ideas Mr.. Martens and his fellow
radicals sought to incite a small but
violent minority to seize the govern
ment here exactly as the Kerensky
government was overthrown in Rus
sia, and set up rule by this minority.
The conspiracy aimed to end gov
ernment by the majority, to end
liberty, to end free speech-by vio-
lence. If the American people had
beer willing to sit quiet before such
effrontery and deception they would
not have been fit for self-govern-
ment. They would deserve the ad-
vent Of the new despotisrn.

was unlntuenced by the Rumanian gov

social set. that Jews are poor solde
as fer myself, being an anti -BolshevlA
Russian Jew, decline the honor of
having Jewish military genius leading
the Red army, and can only express
my regret that the Princess finds no
better means Of combating the Boil

ancient, time-honored expedicnt Of
vociferating against Jewish generals
which exist in the imagination only.
One more remark and I am done. If
the Princess has seen tit to charge
those mythical Braunsteins with the
responsibility for Russia's present
misery, she must permit me to present
counter-charge: l, poor Russian
citizen, having lost my arm in defend
ing Russia voluntarily against the Ger
mans, in 1915, compelled to leave my
country because Of the Bolshevik
tyranny. have more reason than she
has for being anxious TO get back to
normal work in my own country III
stead of living as an exile in America.

nothing but my naked life and have TO

have been back in Russia had those
White generals known better now to

1t is now time to admit frankly THAI
the lions share in the failures of those

to their own lack Of political if not
military perspicacity. I, therefore,
charge them with the responsibility for
the plight Of myself as we'll as the
Princess, and advise her to use her in

United States Navy is sadly lack
ing in submarine and air forces-in
fact, it is SO deficient that it's surface
feet may not be effective either
Extensively or defensively against an
enemy feet supplied with the new
weapons.
The 1916 building program, Of
which we hear so much, is designed
to add largely to our surface feet
without providing proportionally
for submarine and aviation forces.
1t is a program five years old which
does not take full account Of condi-
tions in 1921, still less Of conditions
that may reasonably be expected to
confront US in 1922. A revision of
this program may, therefore, be
the part of wisdom.
The chief obstacle to the solution
Of this problem is found in the ter
dency to place dependence upon some
one type Of ship or some one type of
weapon, whereas no one type will
suffice. Many naval officers and
friends Of the navy appear to have
anchored their minds on one plane
instead of three. Hence the danger
Of hastily committing the country to
tremendous expenditures with no
adequate return.
A full and free discussion of this
subject by the best minds in the
navy and in civil life is imperatively
demanded.
