Petticoats Again
To Be the Style

NEW YORK, May 21.-Women
again will wear petticoats! The
short skirts are doomed!
This news was brought from
Paris yesterday by Joseph Stei-
fel. designer for an American
skirt house, who returned on the
Aquitania. He said:
THE big houses in Paris.
which set style, are showing
samples of petticoats which are
to be worn by women this fall
This is the first time petticoats
have been shown by these people
in eighteen months. The skirts
for the fall trade, which they
are showing, are longer than
those which followed the short
skirt craze. They were also
wider in the waist. The long
skirts mean that petticoats again
can be worn"

Zion's women. with the perversity
OF their sex, have taken advantage OF
this loophole in the law to appear on
the street in costumes that from the
knees down suggest the Follies. The
hosiery display is such as to cause
the elders to gasp and the younger
men to rejoice exceedingly.

HALTED PEACE
Financial Combine Spread Prop
aganda to Goad U. S. Into Con.
fIict, Charge in House.

A special Congressional investiga-
ton of charges that a gigantic COM
bine in 1915 and 1916 deliberately
sought through propaganda to plunS
the United States into the world war
was demanded in a resolution in.
troduced in the House late yesterday
by CONGRESSMAN Michaelson. Reput-
lican, Illinois.
MORGAN FIRM ACCUSED.
The international banking firm OF
! J. 2. Morgan & Co. according TO the
charges quoted in the resolution, had
the principal interest in the combine.
The accusations originally were
made in the House, February o. 1917.
I.by former Congre ssman Galloway
Democrat. Texas.
The resolution quoted substantial
tion of the charges by Gabriel Hano-
teaux. formerly French minister of
foreign affairs, and Sir Gilbert Park
er. formerly in charge OF British
propaganda in the United States.
Michaelson proposed that these
charges be thoroughly Investigated
by a special committee OF ten mem
bers OF the House. II they are found
to be true, those guilty of, conducting
alleged propaganda that plunged the
United States into the war should be
punished, the resolution further pro-
vides.
The Galloway resolution hsd said;
"In March. 1918, the J. r. Morgan
interests, the steel, shipbuilding and
powder interests, and their subsidi-
ary organizations. got together
twelve men high in the newspaper
IL -
the most influential newspapers in
the United States and sufficient
number OF them to control generally
the policy of the daily press of the
United States"
TELLS OF PROPAGANDA.
Galloway declared in the House
that these men purchased control OF
twenty -five of the largest newspapers,
and through them propaganda was
conducted for preparedness, militar-
ism, financial policies and other
things of national and international
character designed to draw the United
States into the war.
The resolution continued:
I'm addition to the information and
charges filed by Congressman Gala
way, Gabriel Hsnoteaux, formerly
minister of foreign affairs of the Re-
pubic OF france in his history OF the
late war. states in effect that France
was ready to make peace in the latter
part of the year 1914. but was dis
shaded from doing so by these Ameri-
cans, namely, Robert Bacon. of the
financial house of J. r. Morgan & Co.
fiscal agents for the British govern
" ent: Myron T. Herrick and William
q. Sharp, and that these men repre-
sented to French officials that IL
France would continue the war. these
three men would organize a propa-
ssnda to put the United States into
the war on the side of the Allies. and
Il. HanoteauX further states that the
sum OF money which was provided to
Goad the United States into the war
was too large even for American
comprehension"
The proposed Michaelson committee
would make report of the investiga-
ton to the next session of Congress,
which convenes in December.

OPPOSE ANY HASTE
ON DRY LAW CHANGE
House Rules Committee Delays
Action on voIstead's Plea for
Rule to Pass Bill Unchanged.

Washington. = Representative Vol
stead and other dry leaders begged the
House Rules Committee for special
closure rule to rush the supplemental
Volstead bill through the House with
out amendments, but because of the
opposition that was shown the COM
mittee adjourned without action.
The dry leaders want to get the bill
passed before the Internal Revenue
Bureau can carry into effect the rul-
ing of former Attorney General Palmer
that beer may be prescribed as medi-
cine. The measure will prevent the
prescription Of beer, give the prohibit
ton commissioner power to control
liquor permits, regulate stringently the
use of alcohol in medicine and tighten
up the original Volstead act generally.
Chairman Campbell of the rules
committee said that no objection
would be made to the section prevent
ing the prescribing of beer, but that
other sections would have to be con-
sidered carefully in view of the oppo-
sition.
reductions were made that if pre-
scription of beer was put into effect by
the Internal Revenue Bureau the dry
leaders would try to hurry some pro-
hibitive law through congress, but
Wayne Il. Wheeler, counsel for the
Anti-Saloon League, said that his or
ganization wanted the entire bill en-
acted.
In making a plea in behalf of the
special rule Mr.. Wheeler asserted that
a "big bootleggers' trust" behind which
is combination of certain brewers
and financial interests in large COM
munities was now operating. He gave
no details beyond saying:

casionally passes night short dis
lance across the line, in Montgomery
county. The real Marylanders, botf
Republicans and Democrats, resent
the assumption of Mr.. Tate that he
represents any considerable proper
ton of them. The ablest men in his
own party, laugh at his presumption
in taking it upon himself to speak for
them, as they look upon him as an in
terloper whose whole concern in po-
litical affairs is to secure an office
for himself, and preferment for mem
bers of his own family. His first
prominence was gained as an attache
of Mr.. Edward C. Darlington, who is
now resident of New York. When
MI. Darlington, was the Republican
candidate for the United States SEN

man Of the State Committee to man.
age his campaign. Since then he has
held on to the place by taking care to
go to the high side, and acting with
tie element on top at all times, and
a large proportion of the men who
have given the Republican party in
Maryland whatever responsibility it
has, looked upon him as a political
trimmer, ready to go from side to
side as fortune may favor one ele-
lnent or the other in his party.
Very wisely Governor Richie and
the able men who are taking up the
program outlined, are ignoring the
opposition. They expect to present
to the next General Assembly, a
.i;cise and well-considered plan for
the enactment of laws which will
greatly simplify the administration of
the affairs of the whole State, and
which will result in decided reduc-
ton of the public expense, and con-
sequent reduction in the tax rate.
The intention is to have this plan
ready before the meeting of the State
Convention in September, so that it
may be made the main plank in the
Platform adopted by the Convention,
and then go before the people, back
ed by the whole force of the Demo-
cratic party in Maryland. 1t will then
be up to the Republican party either
tc accept this problem, or formulate
one of their own. and the voters will
have the merits and demerits of both
discussed on the stump, so that they
may understand what action to take
when they go to the polls on the Sth
of November next, when the election
of members of the General Assembly
will take place.
1t can be put down as a certainty
that the Governors program will
meet with the approval of the people,

GOVERNORS PLANS
ARE FORMULATING

1 if il can be shown that it will result
in any material reduction in the pub
lie expense, and consequent reduc-
tion of the tax rate. One thing is GER
-, the main issue on which the next
General Assembly will be elected will
be very material reduction in the
expenses of the State Government,
including every department of it.
The people are determined and united
or this point if no other public ex-
renses and taxes must be reduced 1t
is in vain that each department in
Guiding the Department of Education,
may insist that they may need, and
must have, more money-that the de-
velopment and betterment of their de-
partments absolutely require larger
outlay. The reply from the people
will be, (and it is rising stronger and
stronger every day, even now, from
all sections of the State,) that it
can't be done, that while it may be de-
sirable to spend more money, the
State can not afford it, and the peo-
pie will not stand further raise in
taxes for any purpose whatever, and
that all these departments must ar
range their plans to get along for ev-
en- less money than they receive at
the present time. Salaries of Off
Gals, and others who are paid out of
the public Treasury, either City,
County or State, can not be raised
above their present level, and in many
instances should be reduced, and it
need not surprise anyone to see a
general scaling down of officials sal
aries all along the line as well as a
scaling down of all appropriations
from the Treasury, for Institutions,
and all sorts of public, semi-public
and charitable utilities.
The chances are that Governor
Richie and his reorganization Com
mission will succeed in presenting a
Plan which will result in great bene-
fit to the State. 1t will put an end to
all official extravaganza in State af-
fairs. 1t will drop off a lot of use
less jobs. 1t will bring some sort of
economic system out of what is now
almost economic chaos, and will
greatly reduce the amount of public
expenditures. The men on the Com
mission are among the ablest il.
Maryland, and are all tax payers who
are vitality interested in economy in
The expenditure of public money.
