I told last week how Chi Hsieh
Yuan, with the help of Sun Chuan
Feng, beat Lu Yung Hsiang and recov-
cred his tuchunate of Chekiang. This
week 1 have to tell how Lu Yung
Hsiang, generously reinforced by
Chang Tso Lin, Is beating Chi Hsieh
Yuan In turn. and bids fair to win
back Shanghai and the tuchunate of
Kiangsu. One hears with sorrow that
this rapid reversal of fortune is at
tributable quite as much to Sun
Chuan Feng's withdrawal (for what
ever reason) of his support from Chi
Hsieh Yuan as to Lu Yung Hsiang' s
Manchurian succors, consisting part
ly of white" Russians.
Now, find a cross word puzzle to
compete with the above.
The safety of the foreign settle

The American dye industry sprung
into existence on a large scale when
Germany's great dye production mar
kets were closed with the outbreak of
the World War. Before the war
America had depended almost en-
tirely on the German dyes for its
clothing colors. With the complete
shutting off of this supply, and the
lack of immediate facilities for man
ufacturing coal tar dyes in this coun-
| try, the United States began import

frontiers within the fixed time-that
Is by 1935-and. I include in this
statement the Sarre, as well as the
Rhine Gland, for do not believe there
Will be any likelihood that the Sarrois
will elect French instead Of German
citizenship, If European peace is to
be assured, even for a reasonable
length of time, 1 think you do no
more than state what is automatic
On the other hand, if you say that
France will not retire from the
Rhine, much less the Sarre, unless
she has some guarantee of British
aid in case OF a French German ag-
gression, you are, I think. again
stating what is an obvious truth.
The question then becomes one of
the forms of guarantee which Britain
will give, for it is necessary that
there be such q guarantee. And 1t
is to a settlement Of this supreme
issue between France and Britain in
the next few months. while the ques-
ton of the evacuation of Cologne is
still pending, that all Franco-British
negotiations must now move. Debts
and all other circumstances are sub
ordinate and relatively unimportant.
If the question be not adjusted in
a fashion which meets with the as
sent of both peoples than the Dawes
plan may as well be dismissed as
| finished, the hope of any slow but
steady evolution of Germany toward
| a real democracy and away from the
idea of war of revenge must be
abandoned. War may not come soon,
but war must come eventually, and
meantime all Europe will be reor-
ganized on the basis of this eventual
conflict, with nations taking partners

War Would Peril Britain.
But such war, even if it left
, Britain neutral, would be a terrible
disaster for the British, for 1t would
| close European markets, abolish
| European purchasing power and it
might, in case of German victory, re-
vive all the perils for Britain which
brought her into the last struggle.
| If France were forced to leave the

for 1t would be an obvious invitation
to Germany to prepare the war OF
revenge. which she must think Of
| since for her 1t means the recovery
Of lost lands and lost power. 1t was,
after all, the belief that Britain
would not intervene before, which
led Germany to go to limits which
made return peacefully Impossible

closed. Similar ignorance for the
future might well have the same
fatal consequences.
That Britain would in the end, be
driven to come to the aid of Bel

Analysis by Government experts Of
the drastic slump into which America S
war-born domestic dye industry was
plunged during the past year has dis
closed some interesting reasons as
signed for the depression.
One Of the important factors was the
prevailing demand among women Of
fashion for light colored clothes. The
modes OF the season called for white
dresses or pale, tinted frocks. as COM
pared with the gaudy colorings of the
previous year, dye authorities claim.
AS a result one Of Americas chief
sources of dye consumers dwindled
markedly.
According to the Tariff Commission
the quantity Of domestic dyes sold dur
ing the first nine months of 1924 de-
clined more than one-fourth from the
total for that period Of the previous
year. Financial receipts from all the
sales fell off one-third.
To the country's infantile dye indus
try this is a serious setback. But au-
thorities have no reason to believe that
the relapse is permanent.
The principal reason gwen by the dye
manufacturers for the decrease in sales
was the reduction in activity Of the
| textile and other big dye-consuming
industries.
But other interesting reasons also are
cited
Keen competition among the domestic
producers themselves had cut-throat
tendency, it seems. The Tariff Com
| mission is informed that this competi-
| tion was so bitter at times that num-
Der Of the firms sold their products DUR
| ing 1924 not only at exact cost of produc-
ton but in many instances below cost
| With the slackened demand for dyes
/ it became question Of getting rid OF
the dyes at any cost.
Another factor blamed for the un-
healthy condition among American dye
manufacturers was the procrastination
manifested by dye consumers, who an
ticipated a reduction in import duties
on September % last.
In accordance with the provisions
| of paragraph % of the tariff act OF
| 1922. the ad valorem duty on dyes
| and finished coal tar products was re.
duced on that date from so to As pei
cent, and the duty on intermediate
| products was reduced from 55 to A
per cent. The specific duty of cents
per pound on both groups of product:
remained unchanged.
| In order that data may be ayailabl,
to study the effect of this reduction
In duty. the tariff commission ha.
completed recently a compilation Of
the total sales of domestic dyes fol

many, as have said, must in the end
follow a similar policy. Then, when
Europe has recovered health and
strength and forgotten the horrors of
the last war, when a new generation,
which indeed knew nothing of these
horrors, arrives, we may we'll expect
new Armageddon.
Until it is clear that France will
not go without her guarantee, 1t is
wholly probable that British policy
will continue to eVade the giving OF
any such guarantee, but in the end
venture the guess that the fact will
be established. Meantime the Issue
thus raised is the most important
single problem of Europe in the pres
ent year.

who were distressed and embarrassed
because they were unable to identify

in their calendar the hour and day

Chic New Jacket Suits
Are for Misses Wear

Youth again! Youth and more
youth Observe, for instance, the new
jacket suits introduced by all the max
ers. There are the boleros, which no
maturely rounded figure will attempt
surely. There are the very short little
jackets with the very short ripple,
some of them fascinating little things
scanned and curved into the figure, with
the ripple at the back and with the suit
skirt also rippled. Another jacket ex-
hibited has high fur collar and sleeves
fulled in at the hand to band Of fur.
Sometimes frogs are on the front of
these piquant little coats Sometimes
the little things button straight down
the front with one row of buttons. The
sleeves are tight and button up the ell
bow. The ripple on the bottom goes
all the way around, and there is a
very narrow belt of leather worn just
at the normal waistline above the
ripple.

TulIe, Tafeta or

Elaborate Styling Essence of
Youthful WearabIes
for Autumn.

The early fall fashion shows con-
firm our oft-repeated prediction that
elaborate styling is to be the essence
of the autumn wardrobe, asserts a
fashion correspondent in the New
York Herald-Tribune Short, wide
skirts, extremely high necklines, long
sleeves and the frequent use of cape
themes have been the outstanding
style features Of the first exhibitions.
Except in strict sports costumes the
flare has entirely vanquished the
straightline, and back decoration is
another new theme.

one that is perfectly adapted to the

Accessories Worn With
Popular Purple Outfit

The vogue of purple which threatens
to engulf the entire world of fashion
has apparently not reached the crest,
for reports from Paris and the i'm
portant American fashion centers con-
tinue to emphasize this color in all
its varying tones.
In Paris 1t is said there is a tenden-
cy to use a deeper, more subdued tone
than the rather violent shade featured
in American fashions. 1t is a color
somewhat more flattering, and in pur-
pie almost more than any other shade
becomingness should be considered.
Many women find the tone with
reddish cast more suitable to their par
ticular types, while others look best in
shades with considerable more blue in
the coloring.
In wearing purple the question Of
accessories is of paramount impor-
lance. Gray may be combined with it
in the form of shoes, stockings, gloves
and hats, although one well-known
fashion authority recently stated that
the slender pump of black patent
leather was the most appropriate shoe
to wear with frocks of purple crepe
or georgette.

Things to Know About
Beading on Your Frock

Bead-trimming presents problem,
and the woman who is addicted to
beads must prepare herself for the
worst-and therefore avert it-by a
little common sense in selection of the
bead-trimmed gown or waist, in the
first place; and by judicious watchful-
ness and care afterwards.
The kinds generally used on dresses
are the plain steel, jet and dyed beads.
Jet and steel are the most expensive.
The glass beads which have their
color right in the glass itself are more
expensive than the ones which have
the color only on the inside. In buy
ing colored beads, make sure you are
getting an excellent quality, otherwise
you may find the color turning" or
perhaps wearing off on your dress.
If you can get a gown on which the
beads are sewed on by hand, they will
stay much better, but you pay more.
Medium-priced dresses have them put
on by machine, but there is differ
ence even there. Some have very
fine lock-stitching, while others are at
tached with coarse thread and long
stitches which make holes in the ma
terial and cause the dress to look
shoddy and cheap. The difference can
be detected by examining the work on
the wrong side. Heavy beads on sheer
goods are likely to tear through the
material where the large holes were
made in stitching them on. Each time
after wearing the garment it is adj
visable to look it over, and if any
bead is loose, to secure it at once,
Otherwise the beads keep dropping off,
and soon your whole design is ruined

ed garment, it should be done on Turk
