he would be well on the way to the White House.
 The long-range diplomatic view of Morrow's political future is that after about five years of political and economic misadventure due to a policy of high protection this country will be groping toward personalities who have broad in ternatioral view and a conviction that international economic ma chinery can be developed without jeopardy to anyone's national sov- ereignty.
 Then, it is thought, Morrow with his international banking eXperi- ence and his moderate-tariff views, (already incorporated in senate committee hearings and the Con- gressional Record), will be a logi- cal personality to undertake lead ership of the Republican party. Apart from this, there is q great psychological interest in MCrroW's i attitude with respect to the liquor 1 traffic. His campaign statcment& 1 during the primary were contem | poraneously interpreted as alignins l him with the "wets," but Morrow other personal qualities would probably make him the national wet" most agreeable to the "drys' or at least to the 'near-drys."
 Although Ambassador Morrow's two years In Mexico City have given him an almost unrivalled prestige as a diplomat there is, oi course, a minority that would dis parage his accomplishments there According to this group, Morrow merely had the great good fortune to arrive in Mexico at the time when Mexican foreign policy was being re-adapted to the eXigences of the international situation, ant that he personally was credited with changes in policy satisfactory to the United States which would have been made equally under oth CT circumstances.
 The ambassador has an extraor dinary "following' among Wash ington newspapermen, and at re cent press gathering one reporter who was somewhat less enthusias tic about him than all of the other found himself the center of { storm of indignation.

MORROW'S RETURN
 LIKE NAPOLfON'S
Senate Candidate Gains Stature
 by Mexican Achievements

Washington, Oct. 10 (UP)-The back from Mexico" move of Am bassador Dwight w. Morrow, is get ting profound attention from politi- clans and diplomats here and eventually may have significance comparable to the famous Back from Elba' trip of Napoleon or the Home from Africa" campaign of Roosevelt.
 Absence abroad, in Ambassador Morrow's case, seems to have made his personality tremendously alluring to the American public, and every practical politician is bound to wonder to what extent this interest will be reflected in votes His fortunes also are a wherever diplomats gather. Diplo- matic reputations often are made by prophecy, and Ambassador Morrow is a good subject.
 Plenty of votes in New Jersey next November in the senatorial election would release a flood-tide of comment concerning Morrow eligibility for the presidency, in 1886 if not in 1882.
 After election to the Senate would come a political mauling form the 100 per cent "drys" and the Senator in all probability would have an opportunity to con- tribute his wisdom to the correc' ton of the unpopular Hawley- Shoot tariff bill.

 Later the sergeant, addressing the soldiers told them they were en- gagged in the search for woman. who was being held for ransom by a group armed with bayonets. The soldiers. having been approached by their superior. replied that they be- lieved such thing impossible, and finally persuaded the sergeant to march them back to Barcelona.
 When Fornes's superior officers asked him what had happened, he tried to throw himself out of win dow. Later he shot himself. The suicide was attributed to mental per turbations, resulting from disap- pointment in love affair two years previously.

Influence OF
Russians on
FaShiOns
By WILMA LA VILE

Russia has contributed many
influences to this years mode.
Chief among them is the tunic.
It promises to be one of the
most popular fashions through
out the winter as 1t Is already
off to an awfully good start.
The soldiers blouse was the
inspiration of this tunic in the
beginning, but it has been so
modified that you would
scarcely recognize it. It is now
heightened until it comes about
to the knees. It is always
belted at the normal waiStline
and very often closes down the
side in true Russian manner.
The two frocks we are sketch
ing today are typical Of this
new version of the Russian
tunic. They are closely fitted
above the 'hips and they have
other Russian details such as
side closings, ETC., to make
them seem even more in char.

which is of the frisco family. a
very sheer silk and wool crepe.
It is in q new reddish brown
with fringed scarf and surplice
closing.
The other frock Is Of silk
crepe in cricket green which is
a rich dark green that will be
very good for winter. It has
the new U side closing with
buttons down the side and in
teresting details on the sleeves.
Notice that it also is fringed at
important points. Both these
frocks are moderately priced
and are from Q washington
