being laughed at, But that was a
month ago, and Paris has the reputation
Of changing her mind about the fashions
over night.
Last Sunday at the races there was
only one really short skirt to be seen.
and naturally IL was worn by an Amor
lean. and attracted SO much critical
attention that the girl was embarrassed
and left the course with the determine
tion TO lengthen her skirt before another
day went by. Skirts for the street are,
or course much shorter than those of
the evening gowns, but even then they
are far from aspiring TO the knees as
they do in America
The Paris dressmakers seem to be
certain that black viii be taken up by
the roots and thrown away forever.
There has been more talk about dis
the skirt. The first autumn models GER
tainly indicate that il IS not idle talk.
They are Of the brightest colors. En-
hroidered velvets are to be good. One
or the new models OF the last week
shown by the Miller Soeurs is a bright
fuchsia pink velvet with the front and
back embroidered in crystal heads. An
other IS a bright red velvet with an
apron Of red lace attached 70 a belt
embroidered In green jewels.

they have been for the last two or three

HUGHES SPEAKS
FOR AUSTRALIA

Melbourne, April 23.-For Aus
tralia ever to take part in a struggle
with the United States was something
unthinkable and out side the bounds
Of possibility, declared William M.
Hughes, premier of the common
wealth, in concluding the debate in
the house of representatives today on
the coming imperial conference at
which Premier Hughes is to repre-
sent Australia.
The subject of the Anglo-Japanese
treaty was prominently discussed and
in alluding to it the prime minister
said:
II have said repeatedly that the
chief problem before Great Britain is
to draw UP treaty which will not
involve us or Britain in a struggle
with the people of the United States.
The hope Of the world depends upon
some sort Of an understanding be-
tween America and the empire and
it is to find n way of realizing that
hope that the minds Of those attend
ing the conference should be directed
1t is unthinkable and not within the
bounds Of possibility that we should
never take part in a struggle against
America. We can not be bound by
any treaty which we doAnot our
selves ratify, although the political
consequences between Britain and
America whether Japan was or was
not her ally would Of course have to
be faced by us.
But even If this treaty be renewed
it will not bind Australia to go to
war with any country In the world.
THE last thing that any British
government would think Of would be
war with the only nation, which.
with ourselves, could hope to main
tain the peace of the world. An under
standing with America is essential
and we can not afford to quarrel with
Japan. Australia, however. must stand
by her own ideals"
The prime minister's statement was
brought out by expression of appre-
hension on the part of some of the
labor members in connection with the
treaty renewal discussion that Aus
tralia might be drawn intpA, war

erable increase. Beginning May l the
penalty will be per cent. Up. until
that time the penalty will be per

be placed in the hands OF Sheriff E.
Austin Roof by Treasurer Leaphart
and there will be an additional

Legislature the payment of taxes was
postponed, with the penalty grad
ually increasing until it reaches the
maximum after May l Off per cent.
1t is expected that the Office of the
county treasurer will be crowded at
the last minute by those who have

anxious to avoid the additional pen
atty. In order that the office may not
have more work on the last day than
1t is possible to do, Treasurer Leap

over.

According to the narrative of the
deputy the officers of the company
next in line ordered their men to at

the trenches, saying they preferred
to he shot and buried where they
were rather than hang on the barbe,l
