THE directoire, late eighteenth
 1 century and certain Spanish in- huences in the styles, are all disput- ing the claims of the straight-line or chemise dress, to pre-eminence. The best American and French creators of costumes appreciate the adaptability of taffetas and organdies, to bouffant skirts, and the charm of a flavor of quaintness in the silhouette that is too attractive to be ignored. Therefore, in the passing show of spring styles, among those present, and present in considerable numbers, there are such sprightly dresses as are pictured here.
 The frock at the left includes a tunic among it's assets, over a much narrower underskirt-a plain and in- conspicuous affair that plays only a small part in the composition of the dress. The tunic and bodice divide honors in points of interest. By means of cords about the hips and at the bottom the tunic achieves a hoop-skirt effect, and it is decorated with flat puffs of the taffeta. The peasant waist also employs these puffs as a

 In explaining the letter MT.

With the most impressive rites of the Roman Catholic church and in the presence of the greatest assemblage of church dignitaries ever seen in this country, the remains of James Card inal Gibbons were laid to rest Thurs day in the crypt of the Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin in Baltimore. By special decree of the pope there was sung at the mass a solemn Gregorian chant previously heard only at the funerals of sovereign rulers of the church in the Sistine chapel in Rome. Not the church alone, but all of Baltimore paid tribute to the memory of its beloved and distin- guished citizen, and as the clocks of the city tolled ten, the hour of the ceremony, every wheel stopped, every activity ceased.

There was one little gleam of the sun of peace through the murk of the Irish situation last week. Sir Will liam Goulding of Dublin, prominent railway man. and three southern Irish unionists, conferred with Cardinal Logue, primate of Ireland, at Dundalk, with the object of securing the open ing of negotiations between the Irish republican parliament and the British government. Meanwhile there is no cessation of the struggle between the Sim Feiners and the British police and soldiers in the island, every day bringing its stories of at Jacks. usually with bombs, on the aux iiiaries and of the reprisals of the lat ter.
 The commission of the volunteer committee of one hundred which has been conducting in this country an in- quiry into the Irish question has made its report Admitting that it labored under the disadvantage of lacking the official British side of the case" the commission declares that "the imperial British army in Ireland has been guilty of proved excesses, not in- comparable in degree and kind with those alleged by the Bryce report on Belgium atrocities, to have been com mitted by the imperial German army"
 The report says the Irish people have had the protection of neither British nor international law and that they have been systematically subjected to a "terrOr" which, however. has failed to re-establish imperial British civil government and to suppress the Irish republic. The published summary of the report does not show that the Irish are blamed for anything except the secret execution of spies, traitors and enemies of the Irish republic who were condemned in ex parte hearings.

He is here, he insists, only to listen and report, and not to make any suggestions on be- half of France.

accentuate it's need of retaining the civil military forces whose disband- ment is demanded by the allies.
 For the second time the German gov ernInent has filed with the League of Nations a formal protest against the occupation of additional territory by the allies; and the officials of the al- lied nations are proceeding with their plans to exact further penalties if Germany persists in its refusal to pay 12,0OO, 100000 gold marks by the first of May. There is no evidence that the Germans will pay, and some of the allies, especially the French, are con vinced their former foes are actually preparing for a new war. Marshal Fayolle is quoted as saying the Ger mans are making cannon and machine guns, and especially are forwarding huge aviation program, and that in the next conflict London and Paris will be deluged with bombs from supposed ly commercial" airplanes. He is convinced that unless the allies take firm action at once. Germany will never carry out the Versailles treaty.
 The vigorous Greek offensive against the Turkish natiOnalists in Asia Minor progressed merrily until Eskishehr was reached. At this railway junction, where the Greeks were defeated some them, according to dispatches from Constantinople, and after a day-long battle they were forced to retreat after losing many in killed and cap tured. The report of the Greek defeat may be exaggerated, for 1t emanates from Kemalist sources.
 Greek successes in Asia Minor are not pleasing to any but the Greeks, and possibly the British, and even the regular" Turkish government at COnstantinOple protested to the allies against the Greek offensive. Italy es- pecially is sore, and relations between Athens and Rome were strained when Greece announced a blockade of Asia Minor and accused the Italians of smuggling war munitions to Renal Pasha. The French fear that proposed occupation by the Greeks of the Dar- danelles will insure British control of that important waterway, and Rou- mania has entered formal and bitter protest against the composition of the commission controlling the Darda- nelles, insisting upon equal voting pow CT with the Greeks and the Turks. Bulgaria will not overlook any chance to regain Thrace from the Greeks, but the latter hope to obtain the support of the Serbs in any conflict over that territory by helping them in Albania and Macedonia. Thus, according to world diplomats, war clouds are once more appearing over the Balkans.

Discussion of one of the administra- the railways-was taken up in earnest last week, and though to the lay mind it seems almost insolvable, the ex- perts in such matters believe it will be solved by the interstate commerce commission and the railroad labor board working in closer conjunction than had been contemplated when the latter was created. Senator Cummins and Representative Mondell assert the machinery under the transportation act is adequate in the situation and that no further legislation will be needed. It is the position of the Pres ident and his advisers that the gov ernment should do all it can to facil
 itate the return of the railroads to former conditions, and it is admitted that both high freight rates and high wages must be reduced. Present rates are undoubtedly retarding great ly the movement of commodities, es- pecially farm products, and the roads suffer in revenue accordingly. Of course the railway unions are oppos- ing any reduction in wages, asserting this would be unnecessary were it not for willful extravaganza on the part of the railroad arrangements. The senate committee on interstate com merce plans an investigation that shall establish the truth or falsity of the charges made by organized labor.

POLAND AND RUMANIA
HAVE SIGNED TREATY
New Alliances in Central Europe
Expected to Have Stab

PARIS. France. March 1S.-From a
Folish source the writer learns that
the treaty between Poland and Ru-
mania, which has been under nego-
tiation for some months under French
auspices. has just been signed in Bu
charest. When it is remembered that
Rumania already has agreements with
Jugoslavia and Czechoslovakia the
Importance of the new system Of al
liances which seems to be growing
up in central and eastern Europe ap-
pears in a striking light.
The basis of the Polish -Rumanian
agreement is doubtless common de-
fense against possible Russian ag-
gression. At the same time it is prob
able that the osta aplishment of these
various understandings will do more
than anything else to hasten the gen
eral economic rehabilitation of Eu-
rope. for they serve to clear away
much doubt and suspicion.
1t would probably not be an exag-
geration to say that French diplo-
macy is entitled to greater credit
than that of any other power for its
attempts to restore genuine peace in
this part of the world.
