By the Associated Press.
BERRIEN SPRINGS, Mich, Sep.
tember 5.-Young women enrolled at
Emmanuel Missionary College, a
Seventh-day Adventist institution,
must wear skirts at least four inches
below the knee.
In promulgating this edict, the
authorities commend to the girl
students the advice Of Peter to the
young ladies Of the early church that
their adorning be mot that Of putting
on of apparel" but the adorning "of
the hidden man of the heart, even the
ornament of a. meek and quiet spirit" I"
The Rev. William Guthrie, presi-
dent of the college, decried the present
fashions as reaching beyond the
point of modesty, and making noble
and pure and upright young women
and girls appear immodest, contrary
to their intention"

Not long ago Lady Rhondda, a
peeress in her own right, q business
woman Of marvellous skill and prob.
ably the richest woman in Great
Britain, declared she belongs to the

On the other hand, wealthy business
men who waxed fat during the war
are resenting the implaction that they
belong to the middle class and de.
clare that it is a badge of inferiority.
The middle class seems to be such
an indefinite term in Great Britain

MOSCOW AND PARIS.
RELATIONS TENSE
Resignation of Red AmbasSa-
dor Over Manifesto Is
Now Anticipated.
By the Associated Press.


PARIS, September 5.-Resignation
of Christian Rakovsky as Soviet Am
bassador to France is looked for in
some quarters as the solution OF an
incident which has caused tension in
the relations Of the two countries.
NJ. Rakovsky's signature recently
appeared on a proclamation urging
the workers in all countries to rise.
France protested through its diplo-
matte representative in Moscow, and
the Paris newspapers, with the ex-
ception of the extreme Left and Com
munist organs. have launched cam
paign for the resignation or recall of
the ambassador.
Held Officially Disavowed.
An official communique from the
French foreign office states that the
Soviet government, through Foreign
Minister Tchitcherin, has officially
disavowed the ambassadors act, re
proving In the most formal manner
the idea that any one Of its represen-
tatives in France could attempt to
organize insurrection and desertion on
French territory while the Soviet
government is entertaining the most
peaceful relations with the French
government"
Ambassador Rakovsky issued
statement of explanation, saying that
he signed the offending declaration as
a member of the central committee of
the Russian Communist party, and
that the document was based on the
hypothesis of eventual war against
the Soviet union. 1t did not apply to
any existing concrete case, much less
to France specifically, he asserted.
Various Soviet leaders have from
time to time voiced what they termed
the necessity Of being prepared
against any possible attack from
abroad, and military maneuvers have
been under way. with trial mobiliza-
tions in many cities.
100000 Youths Pledged.
Moscow dispatches said that inter
national youth day was celebrated
throughout the Soviet union yesterday
under the slogan, defense of the So
cialist fatherland." 1t was estimated
that 100000 youths took part in
meetings and professions throughout
the country.
In Moscow prominent Communists
exhorted a crowd in the famous red
square to 'resist the war prepara-
tions of the imperialists," insisting
that hostilities sooner or later were
inevitable.
