consider the possibility of similar

sumption that because Canadian
cruisers are going to the Pacific coasl

way with American vessels.
The Globe shows that the vessels

The London Daily News" says the

from its American correspondent:
Mr.. +. w. Wilson alleges an in
formal compact between the Cana

party of the United States, by which
the new Canadian squadron, the gift
of the British admiralty is to proceed
to the Pacific coast to cooperate with
the American fleet under a unified
command. using the United States
naval bases on the Pacific.
Yarn Called Imagfnatfon.
''Mr. Wilson's yarn is imaginative,
but it is mischievous also, because il
implied that Canada. Immediately
upon receiving the admiralty gift. had
proceeded to make use of it to af-
front Japan. Great Britain's ally.

There are plenty of British warships

''The United States may be assured

Just now the propaganda for uniting

PARIS. January 15.-Although the
defeat of the Leygues ministry in the
chamber of deputies last Wednesday
was fully predicted. in these dis
patches several weeks ago. nobody
quite has realized the difficult posi-
ton in which this would leave
France. The achievement Of Leygues
as premier is that of having been in
power four months without ever
having expressed any definite views
on any definite subject. and he drop
ped from the position of head of the
French government as an overripe
apple falls from a tree.
The problem now confronting the
president of the republic. who must
find new premier capable OF
choosing a ministry acceptable to the
people, really is less that than the
re-establishment of that govern
mental authority which almost has
disappeared through lack of exercise.
Downfall of Leygues.
The personal insignificance of the
outgoing premier must not be ac-
nation Of his fate. The real cause
lies deeper in postwar French poli-
tics. 1t is the fact that the task of
enforcing French rights Under the
peace treaty is so great and difficult
that not only has every man who has
tried his hand at it failed, but that
all good men suggested as possible
endeavorers fear the job. 80"
That section of the treaty which
concerns reparations is now foremost
in Importance. as the nations eco
nomic reconstruction depends upon
it. Therefore, it inevitably is the
dominant factor in the present re-
lationships of France with her allies
and associates. BY one leader after
another the French people have been
led to expect from Germany a COM
pensation extending far beyond prac-
tical possibilities.

estly desire peaceful democracy and
the betterment Of international rela-

as an economic unity whose sufferings
do not permit a return to selfish ma

healed only on broad economic lines.
4. That the German people provide
themselves with a government which
will not attempt to Justify the old
regime by continually blaming for

embrace the idea Of democratic re-
public, a republic thus earning the
confidence Of the world powers and

do not meet. Line the inside of the
shoes with felt messaline ribbon, let

arate skirt for general wear is fine
lightweight serge, the skirt pleated all
around, and attached to a clever sus-
pender arrangement which holds it
comfortably to the figure. The sus-
penders or straps Of self fabric are
fastened on each side at the front with
a metal buckle, and this bodice or sus-
pender arrangement is fashioned in the
front in vest shape, something like an
apron bib. At the back only straps or
bands appear.
This skirt holds many suggestions

ters clothes.
