day. The show was given in the open
air this afternoon and those attending
the exhibits were surprised TO see
the names of the wearers OF SILK nos
iery spelled out in full, not merely in
itialled. In some instances-in cases
where the names are long-they start
near the knee and end just above the
shoe-top the letters are embroidered
or beaded and are in harmony with
the color of the stockings. Red bead
ing is used on black ones and white
on brown. The promoters OF the
show predict that the innovation will
be taken up all over the country.
- ignoring the advice Of President
Harding and the recommendations OF
the Navy Department, the House APP
propriations committee last week re-
ported its bill reducing the enlisted
strength of the navy to $1,000 men.
OF this number the bill provides
that the enlisted personnel for man
ming the navy afloat shall be limited
to approximately $4,000; for shore ser
vice. 10000; apprentice seamen and
unassigned men, approximately 7O0O.
The administration wants 10000. The
House Naval Affairs Committee, after
careful study of the navy's needs,
recommended $4,000 men. The fight
to reject the Appropriation commit
tees recommendations and substi-
tute figures which will nearly conform
to the Navy Departments figures will
take place this week or next week
THE British government has ad-
dressed a note to the Allies declaring
that, owing to the fact that Great
Britain has to pay the interest on her
debt to the United States, she reserves

Allies in turn to pay the interest on
their war debts 10 Great, Britain in
this connection 1t is pointed out that
Great Britain is now fully prepared
to pay the. interest due the United
States. The three years agreement
= between Great Britain and the United
States lapses April Is, from which
time interest on the debt due by Great
Britain to the United States begins to
accrue so that. Great Britain will pay
six months interest the coming fall.
Similarly, the agreement between
Britain and her debtors terminates

renewed.
- Ireland Is close on to the verge OF
civil war, if indeed that condition
does not already exist. The align
ment is between Patrick Collins, sup
porter of the treaty on the one hand
and the Republican party under De-
Valera on the other hand. Collins
stands for free Ireland within the
British empire and DE Valera stands
for free Ireland absolutely free. The
rebels under DeValera on last Satur-
day captured the Free State strong
hold at Dunboyne, and seized i'm
mense quantities of arms and am
munition. Also they raided the GUS
tom house at Dublin and destroyed
$1O,000,000 worth of whisky. The
Free State authorities estimated that
De Valera had 10000 soldiers at his
call and was in a position to largely
increase the strength of his army.
The common belief was that it was
the intention of De Valera to attempt
I, a coup by which he would seize the

Michael Collins is warning the coun-
try that civil war will bring Great
Britain back into the country to re-

bureau Of engraving and printing,
(which was reorganized last week un-
der an executive order by President
Harding removing James l.. Wilmeth,
its director and other high officials,
was ordered closed tonight by Secre-
tary Mellon for an inventory of the
stock valued at many millions of dol
lars. Mr.. Melons order applied only
to the divisions of the bureau which
handle the paper used in making bank
notes, stamps and government securi-
ties, 1t being explained that quicker
and more accurate check Of the paper
stock could be made by a temporary
shut down of all paper work. About
1000 employees Of the bureau force of
5000 would ordinarily be affected by
the order, officials said, but about 900
will be used as counters and all others
having annual leave to their credit will
" be given the benefit of it. According
to Assistant Secretary Of the Treasury
Wadsworth, in charge of the bureau,
the inventory is to be taken as a
check of the stock on hand in the plan

fashion that stock Is taken by a man.

The Leviathan, once the pride of
the German merchant marine, later a
transport that carried thousands Of
doughboys to and from European bat
tie fields, Is expected to arrive at
Newport News, Va, today to be con-
verted into a palatial American trans
Atlantic liner. Fog interfered Sun
day with the sailing schedule within
two hours after the giant vessel had
left her pier at Hoboken, where she
had been idle for more than two years.
Her skipper, Capt. w. j. Bernard,
was forced to cast anchor when about
five miles off Ambrose channel. 1t was
nearly noon before the fog lifted suf-
ficiently to allow her to proceed south

cident or ceremony. On account of
the early hour comparatively few per-
sons saw her great gray hull gliding

the Hudson. A few passing craft
