Lausanne.--As a result of the execu-
ton of six Greek officials charged
with being responsible for the debacle
in Asia Minor, at Athens, former Pre-
mier Venizelos, it is reported, intends
to resign as chief minister of the
Greek delegation at the Lausanne con-
ference.
M. Venizelos has been in touch with
an important member of the British
delegation, who assured him that it is
understood Greece's position here has
been rendered untenable by the exc
cutions.
The former premier turned as white
as marble and remained speechless for
more than five minutes when a cou-
rier dashed into the committee room
with the news
The Russian delegates shed crodo-
dile tears.
eve are shocked at such an act.
One would never have charged the
reds with committing such an act, not
even their worst enemies" one Rus
sian said. Fears are now expressed in
conference circles that Greece will go
Bolshevik.
Lausanne.-A spirit of uncertainty,
note of pessimism, are apparent in
the near east conferences, yet the
chief delegations have pointed out
that the work of the conference was
steadily continuing and that the va
rious delegates were gradually and
helpfully getting clearer understand,
ing of one anther's views.
The gloom has been due to variety
Of causes, most of which are outside
the conference itself. Reports of
French precautionary preparations for
the occupation of the Ruhr, rumors
that the Brussels reparations confer
ence will be postponed, the announce
ment that the revolutionary tribunal
at Athens had condemned the leaders
to death and the insistent claim that
the Mosul oil dispute was seriously
holding up the work of the commits
sion, all have contributed to make Lau-
same uneasy.
American official intervention-in-
sistence on the open door in the near
continues to affect the calm of
the conference. 1t appears especially
to have afforded great moral support
to the Turks in their general demand
for treatment on basis of equity.
furthermore, doubts as to the exact
role Russia will play have excited ap-
prehensions., The Russians have an
nounced their active support of the
Turks in all Turkish claims. To what
extent they will be able to participate
in the conference still remains IN
doubt
England and France seem determin-
ed not to permit more than a discus
sion of the straits, but it is reported
that actual decision on the Russian
petition is held up until the Italian del
egates hear from Premier Mussolini
who has been advocating great free
dom Of speech at Lausanne.

SOME OF THE HAT STYLES
Bows of Ribbon, Rosettes Of silk and
AIl-over Lace Wells In the
Millinery Mode.

Even If you have no new clothes,
you can at least have a new hat.
Well, let 1t have some of any Of these
general tendencies and you will be
all right so far as fashion Is con-
cerned.
Bows of ribbon are charming and
entirely indicative of the modern FASH
ion.
Rosettes Of silk handmade flowers
are just the sort Of thing to pose on
the side of broad brims.
Rosettes of cream-colored lace are
nice against the background of dark
panne velvet.
All-over lace wells are very much
in the running.

Circuit Judge Wiley H. Potter has
held that the decision Of the supreme
court holding the initiative and refer
endum amendments to the constitution
null and void because Of their flagrant
violation of the constitution in the
matter of submission rs well as failure
to receive q majority of all the votes
cast-in no wise invalidates the appro-
priation for the public schools The
appropriations, Judge Potter holds, are
perfectly legal under section 206 OF
the state constitution, and lawyers of
the capital city express the opinion
that Judge Potter's opinion will be az
firmed by the supreme court.

Is New Fur Effect.
Mole and Seal Ribbon and Braid
Evolve Striped Model.
Novel Standing Collar Made Of Tubu-
lar Strips Braided to Form
Desired Width.

Our own American designers are DO
ing some wonderful things with furs,
observes a fashion correspondent In
the New York Tribune. A new treat
ment in furs, particularly mole and
Hudson seal, is achieved by Joining
vertically narrow strips Of the fur with
grosgrain ribbon an& then applying
soutash braid to the center Of the rib
bon, thus evolving striped effect
throughout the garment. The gros-
grain ribbon is Of the same shade as
the fur, whereas the soutash Is Of a
contrasting color. Only the latter Is
visible. For instance, coat of mole
skin has the skins Joined with taupe
ribbon and is combined with green
soutash. Another, of Hudson seal, Is
Joined with black ribbon and trimmed
with white braid. A novel standing
collar on a moleskin coat is made OF
tubular strips of the fur braided to
form the desired width. Mink tails
Joined to form narrow strips often are
used as trimming on mink coats. An
interesting example is short jacket
which shows this trimming around the
collar, cuffs and band which encirles
the hips. The tails, being of darker
shade than the remainder of the ami
NAL, make really lovely trimming.
Embroidery for years has been try
ing to invade the realm Of furs. 1t
started by making itself conspicuous
on the Innings of fur coats. Now it ap-
pears on the pelts. A blousing after
noon wrap of Hudson seal is en-
broidered about the waistline with sill
yer threads and Jet beads. The same
model In moleskin shows metal en-
broidery and steel beads,
A fur very much used this yeaS for
both sports and street wear is Iceland

Ing dyed in light and dark gray and

Arabian Coffee crop Good.

The return of more stable political
conditions in the Yeman regions of
Arabia, which for years have been
torn by tribal warfare, is partly re-
sponsible for reports in Alden that the
coffee crop will be unusually large
this year, and may very possibly ex-
ceed the prewar figures, Consul M. p.
Cross, Alden, has informed the Depart
ment Of Commerce. The demand at
Alden for coffee is very strong at
present, and there is every reason to
believe that the price levels will be
maintained, for the local production
never suffices for the requirements of
those who demand Arabian coffee.
