Bathing Suits and Bathing Beauties

Each recurring season brings forth for consid

ing the proper architecture of bathing suits for women
The at hand is different from the others and
the debate is on, from Asbury Park where the female
form divine is draped in coverals to Fort WORTH Texas
where INDIGESTION has given birth a controversy whose

The park superintendent of the latter city felt the warmth
OF the debate He knew that bathing beauties added much or
little, as the might be- to the scenic values of park
Also did he know that it up to him to view all the
arguments and the local bathers from every angle in or

L. $. CAN DO NOTHING
Traditional Friendship of France and
America at Lowest Ebb.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Copyright, 49,.
Washington. ID. c.. Jan. 9.-At no
time peshapS in American history has
the traditional friendship between
France GEG the United States sunk TO
as low an ebb as today.
DisapUointment and chaglin over the
French determination to occupy the
RUhr, in spite of the mild but explicit
proteStalions of the United states gov
eminent. is unmistaEable. Opinion in
government circles is practically una,n-
nous that France is making a mistake
not merely in her own situation, but
a mistake Of serious consequence to the
whole world.
Yet the official attitude is that the
United States government and the other
governments associated in the war
against Germany have no legal right to
interference, and that the provision of
the Versailles treaty permits France 10
exact penalties whenever Germany Is in
default at reparatious payment.
Irrespective of parties the che
thought is that France should have COM
promised before applying drastic med
Sures. But if the feeling toward France
is one Of GOODNESS, it cannot be said
that there is an increasing warmth to-
ward Germany. There is no entEus-
iasm over Americas being placed in the
position ~ morally supporting the Ger
man cry Of inability to pay.

Berlin, Jan, o. - More than eight
years ago Richard Harding Davis, the
famous correspondent, gave a vivid de-
scription of the march of the German
troops in field grey through Brussels.
This picture made an impression which
many Germans have been unable to
forget and it is recalled now when
French troops threaten 10 invade the
basin Of the Ruhr river. Several news
papers recall the invasion Of Belgium in
1914, without warning and compare
it with the prospective seizure of Es-
sen with its Krup9 Works and coal and
ore mines and Of Bochum with its
great steel works.
But should we not be thankful.
asks one newspaper that this occupa-
ton is taking place without the roar
ing of guns, the booming of explosions
from airplanes and the cries of wounded
and dying: The German people are
suffering much. but il could be worse.
The inactive position which the Ger
man government has taken so far in
connection with the impending French
move has bewildered the people and snr
prise among American and Allied dip
iomats here. The only official an
nouncement from the foreign office is
the following:
The government is aware of the
grave steps contemplated by the French.
II France insists on carrying out her
plans the German government will ac-
cept all the consequences.
This rather cryptic statement. trans
lated into plain English. means that
government is completely up in the
air. and has not vet decided upon any
definite move. All that has been done
so far is 10 arrange at the eleventh hour
in the foreign office for a tourist agency
"trip through the Ruhr district by Amer
lean and British newspaper men.
