PARIS, Dec. II.

THE popular tWo-plece
combination of pull-over
and pleated skirt, which has
become almost classic, is too
strongly intrenched to DC
lightly displaced, but since
nothing can continue forever
unchanged Cat least in the
world of fashion, a variation
had to be found on this serv-
iceable combination.
And when something just must
be found, the Paris Haute Couture
finds it. The present occasion is no
exception.
The pull-over and pleated skirt,
then, have ceased to be a two-piece
outfit, and has become one piece.
Which is to say that the skirt is
now mounted on the pull-over in
stead of being worn separately,
which gives it a considerably more
| dressed up look.
At the same time pull-overs are
becoming less severe and more
feminine in appearance. Several we
have noticed recently were seal
loped at bottom, sleeves and neck
line in a lacy effect, which quite
altered the familiar appearance Of
this garment.
NDLY enough while the two
~ piece combination has been
changing to one-piece, the one-piece
daytime frock has been moving
toward the two-piece idea.
Blouses of every sort are ex-
tremely popular, both the sort worn
outside the skirt and the tuck-in
blouse, once so dear to the heart of
the LOvely-Lady- Who Works. This
was natural outcome of the higher
waistline, of course, and was to be
expected.
At the same time the casaque is
meeting with considerable favor.
Often tailored ensemble is made
up of coat of figured wool, a skirt
of plain wooden fabric, and a ca
saque of the same stuff as the coat.

GILBERT CORRECTS
VIEWS ON REPORT
Voices Limited Optimism on
Reparations Question-Due
Here Tomorrow.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January As. Parker
Gilbert, who has represented the allie:
in Berlin for the last four years, re-
turned here on the Berengaria yesterday
prepared to explain to President Cool
idge, President-elect Hoover and Secre.
taries Mellon and Kellogg the situation
in which representatives of France, Bel
GUM, Great Britain, Italy, Japan and
Germany will meet officially in Paris
during the next few months to discuss
"a complete and definite settlement OF
reparations payments"
This Forthcoming settlement is re-
garded internationally as involving the
peace and prosperity of Europe, as well
as the willingness of the Allies to pay
their war debts to the United States.
Agent WithhoIds Comment.
Mr.. Gilbert yesterday was disposed to
keep his explanations for the highest
officials of the country, as he has done
abroad in the last year in perSuading
the chief ministers of the allied ma
tionS that there was practical neces-
sity of making settlement with Ger
many Immediately instead Of keeping
her paying an annual sum indefinitely
under the Dawes plan.
This is a good time to be silent, "
he said, as reporters surrounded him
on the Berengaria.
He also corrected current interpreta-
tions that his report is completely op-
timistic concerning the collection sys-
tenn which he has officially. supervised
for the allies during the last four years
as agent general for reparations.
Agents Optimism Limited.
Mr.. Gilbert's optimism apparently is
limited to Germany's ability to ac-
cumulate the necessary gold marks
within her borders. It does not extend
to what is called 1.-The transfer problem
that is, the problem of disposing OF
the Germaq gold marks year after year
in the foreign exchange markets, to Sc
cure the currency whichq the allies
want, without wrecking the exchange
value of the German currency.
The transfer problem is so far from
soluticrg. according to Mr.. Gilbert, that
| the German critics of his report who
say he did not consider it completely
apparently. overlooked TIE ScCtloils
which dealt with Germany's foreign
currency operations, as Mr.. Gilbert ex-
pressed it yesterday. so far as there Is
anything to be said on the subject as
yet"
Mr.. Gilbert was told that German
editorial critics declared he had made
no mention of the heavy borrowing
abroad by German nationals and by
subdivisions of Germany, as well as by
the government itself, which the Ger
mans held to be the only factor which
made the full transfer Of reparations
possible so far.
Says He Mentioned Borrowing.
ct did mention this borrowing" said
Mr.. Gilbert. Probably the critics In
Germany have not yet read my report
completely, because the German tex
| is not yet off the presses"
Even the distribution of the English
text was only begun few days ago
Mr.. Gilbert explained; consequently the
only copy of his report now in thi'
country is the original manuscript
| which he has in his baggage. Printed

BERNADOTTE URGED

Monarchists' Meeting Slated at

D. c. BUSINESS MEN
PROTEST COAL RATE
Board of Trade Supports
New River Operators in
Fighting Raise.

Washington business interests will
continue to support the protest of
Southern producers of coal against the
proposed increase in freight rates to
Washington from the New River fields
of West Virginia, from S284 to $313
per gross ton, it was indicated today at
a conference between S. c. Higgins,
secretary of the New River Coal Oper-
ators, and Robert j. Cottrell, secretary
Of the Washington Board Of Trade.
Following a protest by the Southern
operators against the scheduled in
crease in which several local trade or
ganizations Joined. the Interstate Com
merce Commission suspended applica-
ton of the new rates pending study
of the case.
Exceptions to Be Filed.
Mr. Higgins announced today that
his association next week would file a
bill of exceptions to the recent report
submitted by Examiner Berry of the
commission. who recommended that
the proposed $313 freight rate be made
effective.
The answer of the coal operators to
the examiners report, it is said will
voice vigorous objection to the state
ment in the Berry report, holding that
testimony introduced by representatives
of local trade groups and local business
concerns interested in the coal situa-
ton was wholly incompetent" All the
testimony of the local witnesses, it was
reported, was stricken out on this
ground.
Economic Problem Stressed.
Mr. Higgins declared this morning
that local witnesses were not attempting
to testify regarding the process of rate
making but rather as to the serious
economic difficulties that would be en-
countered in Washington, if the pro-
posed rate increase was effected.
Mr.. Higgins said that the Southern
producers could not absorb the 40 cents
differential IN rates, and that if local
consumers of their product continued
to use Southern coal, it would be at
higher prices. due to the operation of
economic laws.
Appearing at the hearings on the
rate case, in addition to an agent for
the United States Government and the
Southern operators, were representa-
tives of the Washington Board of Trade,
the Washington Real Estate Board, the
Operative Builders Association, the
Merchants and Manufacturers Associa-
ton and the Washington Gas Light Co.
and the District of Columbia Paper
Manufacturers Co.
Testimony Representative.
The testimony of the local organiza-
tions' witnesses, in the opinion of c.
Phillips Hill, chairman of the industrial
interests committee of the Board of
Trade, was representative of the views
Of the coal-cpnsuming public of the
District regarding economic difficulties
to be encountered under the proposed
higher rates. and therefore was fully
competent as part of the record of
the hearing.
1t was pointed out this morning by
Mr.. Higgins that the Southern carriers
did not desire the increase in freight
rates and made no effort to justify
their necessity.

copies will be available here within a
few days by the next steamship.
Meanwhile Mr. Gilbert suggested that
much of the comment already pub
lished concerning his report was ut
tered, as by the Germans with po-
litical thesis to sustain" He implied
that there would be less diSappoint-
ment in Germany when the German
publicistS read more carefully through
his report of German prosperity and
apparent ability to pay. and corre-
spending less jubilation in Paris, where
the report was instantly hailed as a
Preparations Bible" revealing fthat
France was right from the beginning
in maintaining that Germany could
pay all.
Mr.. Gilbert said he knew nothing
about any reports that his recent report
was to be his last as agent general for
reparationS. He said he expected to
return to Berlin in about two weeks to
resume his post and to await question
ing by the representatives of the allies.
He plans to remain in New York at
the Plaza Hotel until tonight and then
go to Washington. Although he did
not know yesterday what arrangements
had been made for him to talk with
the heads of the Government. he said
that he would undoubtedly call on Sec
retary Mellon.
