THIRTY FOURTH YEAR. NO.21. IN UNION WE CONSTITUTE DENIES TRADE WAR MENACES COUNTRY Commerce Chief Says Home Wants Will Keep European Nations Busy. Shows That Trouble Increases Exports of American Made Articles; Imports of Free Goods Have Increased to 63 Per Cent. Washington, D. C. — Unprecedented growth in the foreign trade of the United States has been accompanied by a beneficial change in its character, according to the annual report of Dr. E. E. Pratt, chief of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce. The most important feature pointed to is an increase in exports of manufactured goods and a decrease in imports of the same class. In Better Position. Dr. Pratt predicts that America will be in a better position after the war than now to develop foreign trade. "I believe it is absurd to contend that European nations will be able to do more after the war than they did before." Dr. Pratt says, "I believe that domestic wafts will have to be filled before European nations can seriously undertake foreign trade. I have yet to find the practical man largely engaged in exporting who believes he will do less business abroad after the war than he did before." Of uneasiness over the growing imports, he says: "There is no reason for anxiety. The increase has been unprecedented, but it has been of a most satisfactory character. For the most part it is of materials not produced at all in this country, or not produced in sufficient quantities to meet the needs of our domestic manufacturers." "Conditions have so chaned that we find it not only profitable to manufacture these materials ourselves but actually to re-export them to Europe. I have no doubt that when normal conditions are restored we shall continue much of this direct importation of materials that formerly reached us indirectly, manufactured or unmanufactured," by way of Europe and shall even continue, to manufacture some of the material for re-exportation to Europe." Figures Show Imports Decrease. Figures are presented to show an actual decrease of $134,000,000 for the year in imports ready for consumption and a decrease of $257,000,000 in crude materials exported, despite increases in both exports and imports. "In connection with the changes in the character of our foreign trade," says the report, "it is interesting to note the imports of goods on which no duties are collected. The increase for the period ended June, 1916, was $365,000,000 over the same period in 1914. Dutiful imports show a decrease of $61,000,000 for same period. "Imports of free goods formed 60 per cent of our total imports in 1914 and in 1916 this had increased to 68 per cent, the highest percentage in the history of the country. If the provisions of the Payne-Aldrich act had been continued without change to the present, the imports of free goods would form 55.58 per cent of our total imports." TOO PROUD TO. ASK HELP, HE WAS LIVING THERE UNTIL NEXT PAY DAY. Columbus, O.—In a hollow stump but three feet high, Columbus police found Thomas Lee, aged 95, making his home until pay day arrived at the factory where he is employed. For three weeks the old man had lived in the stump, ever since his room at a boarding house was entered and his last $35 stolen. Too proud to seek charity, he found the stump, roofed it with a piece of tin and there made his home. He was asleep when found by the police and beside him were the remains of his food—a piece of bread and a slice of bacon. He asserted that he was getting along all right except that at times he had to stay awake all night "to keep, from freezing." Ask for Peace Proclamation. Ask for Peace Proclamation. Washington, D. C. — The Women's Peace Party has asked the president to issue a public proclamation on New Year's Day to call the attention of the belligerent and neutral nations to the fact that he has been empowered by congress to initiate and sponsor an international conference for the abolition of war and the promotion of general disarmament. Toledo Boy Bandit Shot. Toledo, Ohio. — P. J. Bailey, salesman, of Detroit, shot and killed a youthful highwayman here. Bailey had left the home of a friend and was waiting for a car when three youths approached. When told to hold up his hands he compiled, but one of them held an automatic pistol. One youth, he said, was pressing a revolver against his stomach at the time. Bailey fired four times into the youth's body, killing him instantly. He was identified as Noah Shosh, lately from Lancaster. THE GAZETTE GENERAL PETAIN Copyright, Underwood & Underwood Gen. Petain may succeed Gen. Joffre as commander in chief of the armies of France. CARRANZA REFUSES TO SIGN PTOTOCOL Sends Back Agreement Similar to That Recently Reforested by American Commissioners. New York City.----First definite information was brought to this city that Carranza had, refused to sign the protocol agreed upon by the Mexican and American commissioners at their Atlantic City conference. Alberto J. Pani, one of the Mexican delegates, arrived here from Queretaro, Mexico, where he had been in consultation with Carranza. He was accompanied by Eliseo Arredondo, the Mexican ambassador designate to this country, and by Cabrera, 'head of the Mexican delegates. It is understood that Pani brought with him a substitute protocol, which it is declared, Carranza has already agreed to sign. It is therefore only necessary for the American delegates to sign the latest protocol to bring about the end of the negotiations with favorable results. However, the alternate protocol, it is understood, contains a provision similar to one which was introduced by Cabrera at the Atlantic City meeting and which the American delegates refused to consider. This provision is for the establishment of a neutral belt of territory on either side of the border. Mexican troops, according to the provision, would be allowed to cross over the line into the United States in pursuit of the Mexican brigands or American enemies. Although neither Mexican nor American delegates would be quoted as to the new agreement, it is understood that the representatives of this country will turn down the new protocol just as they rejected the former proposal of the Mexicans. There will be an official meeting of the commission on Monday at Philadelphia. Little hope is held out, however, that both sides will come to an understanding at that time. FEDERAL GRAND JURY TO BEGIN FOOD PROBE Subpenas for Dealers Are Issued; Seek Violations of Anti-Trust Laws. Cleveland, Ohio. — The federal investigation of the high cost of living problem in Cleveland took its first definite form when it was officially announced that a special session of the grand jury had been called for Monday. The sudden arrival of Special United States Attorney George W. Anderson here, quickly followed by a long closed conference with United States District Attorney Wertz and Special Agent De Woody of the department of justice, resulted in the formation of a plan of action. The investigation of the federal grand jury will be unlimited in its scope, and will go into the high costs of every commodity of consumption. "I cannot tell where the investigation will lead us," Mr. Wertz said. "We are going to start with egg, butter and coal dealers. But I cannot say it will end there." All Records Broken Newark, Ohio. — All records not only for the Ohio State Grange but for all granges in the United States were broken here when 800 were given the sixth degree, by which they became members of the state grange. This number has never been nearly approached before. The state officers conferred this degree in the Auditorium theater, 1,500 members of the grange being present. The third, fourth and fifth degrees were also exemplified. Youngstown is after the next convention. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1916. FRENCH AND GREEK TROOPS IN CLASH Report Says Grecian Soldiers Capture Katerini and Break Through French Lines. NEWS CREDITED IN GERMANY Allied Demands Not Yet Presented; Spiritual Fighting on Macedonian Front; Russians Capture Positions in Moldavia. Amsterdam, Holland. — Five thousand Greek regulars are cultivated with French troops 60 miles southwest of Saloniki, according to semi-official news dispatches from Berlin. Though there was nothing in the day's messages from Athens to corrobate this assertion, advises from the German capital were to the effect that the news is fully credited in Germany and is issued there as the opening of Greek armed action against the entente. Athens dispatches to London characterized the situation in Greece, comparatively calm, though it is added that virtually all citizens of the entente nations have left the historic kingdom. Demands Not Yet Presented. The new allied demands, it was reported, have not yet been definitely drawn up and presented to the Greek government. The Overseas News Agency announced that the fighting between the Greeks and French took place north of, Katerini, on the western shore of the Saloniak gulf, that the Greeks captured Katerini, broke through the French lines and took up a battle line between that town and Borzoiko. Paris reports spirited fighting on the Macedonian front, declaring Italian forces north of Monastir have broken up Bulgarian attacks. In Romania, the Teutonic armies are continuing their advance in eastern Wallachia. Berlin announces the Romanian resistance has been overcome along the Jalomitza river, where a stand had been made by the Romanians; reinforced, by Russian cavalry. The Romanian armies are reported again in full retreat to the northeast, presumably falling back upon the line of the Buzan, close to the southern Moldavian bride. Petrgrad's official statement agrees with the Berlin headquarters report in admitting continued Romanian retirement between Mizil and Buzan, the retreat following a Teutonic counter attack after the Romanians, had taken the offensive and occupied several villages. Report Successes. The Russian communication, however, records successes against the Austro-German forces along the Moldavian front, notably south of the Trotsu valley, where height positions were taken and held against counter attack. A press diggish from Sofia says that a force of 6,000 Albanians has defeated Italian troops in the neighborhood of Pasusnisi, Epirus, and that the Hailung forces over points of the Transylvanian front and in the wooded Carpathians the Teutons took the offensive, launching violent onslaughts against the Muscovite positions without, however, gaining any ground, according to Petrograd. Berlin reports the repulse of Russian attacks on the mountain fronts. GIVES 'UPLIFT' BIG SUM GIVES 'UPLIFT' BIG SUM CANADIAN WOMAN BEQUEATHS $201,599 TO CHURCH AND CHARITY. Toronto, Ontario. --- The will of Miss Mary Helen Org of Bobcaygoon, Ont., bequeaths her estate of $201,599 to "purposes of uplift." The sum of $10,000 goes to the mother Christian Science church of Boston "to be used in spreading the truth"; another $10,000 to "those building Christian Science churches;" $10,000 to "those who are endeavoring to uplift the needy in Chicago;" $10,000 "for any unplifting purpose" among her kin, and $10,000 to "the town of Bobcaygoon, to be used only for such purposes as will elevate the community spiritually." Perform Caesarian Operation. New London, Ohio. --- In Ashland hospital Dr. M. E. Rosberry of New London-successfully performed a caesarian operation on Mrs. Sterling Fast of Ruggles. Killed by Train: Conneaut, Ohio. — Donald C. Mee Gee of this city was killed by a Nickel Plate freight train at Westleyville, after stepping off a street car. To End Congestion. Warren, Ohio. — Local agents of the Pennsylvania, Erie and the Baltimore & Ohio railroads agreed to cooperate in the plan launched by Merchant league officials, to remedy congested conditions in local] freight depots. The plan is to empty the freight houses Sunday of all freight stored there and haul it to the merchants in the city. Lack of men to adequately handle the merchandise is claimed to be the cause of the congestion. [Pictorial portrait of a man in formal attire, with a quill and ink pot in the foreground]. It is reported that Walter Hines Page becomes the position of ambassador to the position of England. Tobelo, Ohio. — The lives of two firemen were sacrificed, the life of a third hangs in the balance, and three other firemen were badly hurt in a fire which destroyed two downtown buildings. The dead are: capt Edward J. Welch, 12, and Albert D. Urie, 37. Probably fatally hurt: Henry J. Pratt, bosseman. Slightly injured: Capt Logs Kachno-mister, Fireman Walter F. Schultz and Fireman James E. Reilly. The fire started shortly before 7 a.m. in the four-story brick building occupied by the Paddock Merchandising Co. When Cant, Welch of No. 6 engine house arrived he and a party of men made their way into the Paddock building. They had gone a short distance when the upper deck gave way. They sought to retreat, but the floor under them crashed in, carrying them into great pools of water with tons of brick and wooden debris upon them. Pratt became impaled on a 12-inch spike which penetrated his left side. He lay in the water nearly six hours before rescuers could saw away the wreckage. Farther beyond and closely pinned down were Capt. Welch and Albert Urie. Their cries be heard, but despite great efforts of police and firemen they could not be liberated. Welch and Urie at 10 a.m. cried out a last message to those who were trying to rescue them. Urie, despite his sufferings, directed the work of the rescuers. "The water is up to our waists and coming higher. Almost too hot to live here," Urie said. Two Catholic priests waded into the cellar and sought to administer last rites, but were turned back by the barrier in front of them. The less injured firemen formed a squad that tried to penetrate the building before the walls fell. Kachemeister suffered a broken leg and other injuries. Reilly was hurt about the head by falling glass. Schultz was pinned down in the alley by timbers which fell from the roof. The Paddock Merchandise Co. occupied one building with a stock of groceries. The loss on this will be about $75,000. Three other concerns suffered losses. Woolen Goods to Sear Woolen Goods to Soar. New York City. — That the price of men's woolen soak, soon bo doubled was the statement made by J. J. Isaacs, an importer of woolen goods, of this city, on his arrival from Europe. He said that wool suits which cost $25 will soon cost $50, and the higher priced garments will go up in proportion. "There is no more wool to be had in England," Mr. Douglas said. "The government has taken over the Australian supply for war purposes." Four Lost When Barge Sinks. Galveston, Texas. — Four men were lost when the barge Bob foundered in the Gulf of Mexico, 50 miles cast of Point Isabel, during a storm. Find Robbers' Loot. Buffalo, New York. — Mail robberies amounting to thousands of dollars were disclosed, postal authorities announced, in the confessions of Richard and Frank Chapin, brothers, mail wagon drivers. Jewelry valued at between $10,000 and $15,000 was recovered at the Chapin home, but it is said much other loot, consisting of stock certificates and negotiable paper was destroyed. Frank Chapin has been under arrest since Dec. 5. Richard Chapin has been arrested at Athens, Pa. GERMANY MAKES OFFER FOR PEACE Chancellor Notifies Diplomatic Envoys Central Powers Are Ready to Negotiate Terms. The Proposal 'Is Prompted by Desire to Avoid Further Bloodshed and Make an End of Atrocities of War.' Berlin, via Sayvile, L. 'T. — Germany is willing to make peace. Chancellor von Behmann-Hollweg has notified the diplomatic envoy of the United States, Spain and Switzerland that the four nations making up the German allies' Germany, Austria-Hungary, Turkey and Bulgaria propose to enter forthwith into peace negotiations. The governments in Vienna, Constantinople and Sofa have given similar notification. The willingness of the German allies to enter into peace negotiations immediately has also been transmitted to the Holy See in Rome. The special meeting of the Reichstag was called for the purpose of hearing the chancellor's peace proposals. Following is the text of the note addressed to the hostile governments: The Note. The great trial war was over experienced in military warfare for the last two years and a brief for over a large part of the world a catastrophe which thousands of years of common civilization was unable to prevent, and which involved the most painful achievements of the world—a catastrophic which thouds of years of common civilization is unable to prevent, and which ines the most precious achievements of our aims are not to shatter nor annitiate our adversaries. In spite of our bitary and economic strength and our inescence to continue the war (which has on forced upon us) until the bitter end, necessary; at the same time prompted the desire to avoid further bloodsheds of war, and to make the best of our efforts. Four allied powers propose to enter thwith into peace negotiations. The propositions which they bring ford for such negotiations and which we for their object a guarantee of the silence, of the honor and liberty of dution for their nations are, according to their firm belief, an appropriate balance between the interests of the world and peace, the four allied powers have been led to take up arms to defend justice. It is likely that the liberty of national evolution. The rights deeds of our armiers have in no way altered their purpose. We always imbalanced the firm belief that our own hits and justified claims in no way con- the spiritual and material progress which were the pride of Europe at the gaining of the 20th century are threatened with ruin. Germany and her allies, stra-Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey, we proof of their unconquerable length in this struggle. They gained the strength of the adver¬ tment of in numbers and war material. Our ege stand unshaken against ever re-t望 attempts made by armiers. The last attack in the Balkans has been oldly and vigorously overcome. The If in spite of this offer of peace and reconciliation the struggle should go on, we must continue to veto the elections end, but they disclaim responsibility for this before humanity and blaster. The imperial government, through the good offices of your government, has insisted that the name of the neutral power addressed in each instance) to bring this communication to the knowledge of the government, be inserted in the name of the belligerents. Question of Humanity. After reading the note, the chancellor said: "Gentlemen, on Aug. 14 our enemies challenged the superiority of power in the world war. Today we raise the question of peace, which is a question of humanity. We await the answer of our enemies with that sereness of mind which is guaranteed to us by our exterior and interior strength and by our clear conscience. If our enemies decline to end the war, if they wish to take upon themselves the world's heavy burden of all these terrors which hereafter will follow, then even in the least and smallest homes every German heart will burn in "sacred wrath against our enemies." The chancellor's speech was listened to by thronged galleries. The royal box was crowded. All the ambassadors and ministers of foreign governments were in the diplomatic box. Petition Court to Take Charge Toledo, Ohio. — Sixteen business men here have filed a petition in United States district court asking that the court take charge of the Ohio State Telephone strike of operators and linemen. The petitioners declare that their business has been injured by lack of telephone service. Shoots Cousin in Play. Coshoton, Ohio. — "Watch me kill a bear," said Clyde LeCraft as he pointed his father's rifle at his 11-year-old cousin, Elda Gress. Elda fell to the floor with a bullet through her right groin. Physicians say she will recover. Burglar Robs. Preacher. Youngstown, Ohio. — Clad only in a blanket, Rev. C. C. Chain of the Hubbard Methodist church shivered in his home without a stitch of clothes. Some burglar entered his home and took all of the clergyman's wardrobe, even to his hose supporters and socks. The burglar took nothing else, not even a birthday collection box which was standing on the table. Breezes from a window which the bandit left open made the Rev. Chain shiver all the more. Parishioners of Rev. Chain are holding a donation party. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. THE ONE ISSUE TO REVIVE THE G. O. P. Southern Whites Are Disfranchised, Too. OPY FIVE GENTS. SUE TO THE G. O. P. LILLIAN R. THOMPSON. Dramatic Soprano and Pianist of Exceptional Ability—Residents of the "Buckeye" and "Empire" States. On Thursday evening, Jan. 11, 1917, Lillian R. Thompson and Lyndon Hollman Caldwell will be heard in a joint recital at Grays Armory. Mrs. Thompson has a powerful voice of exceptionally good quality that few great singers of today can boast of. She is not as yet a finished singer but she has splendid control of a voice whose rich melodies have the power of emulating the emotions of an audience as few dramatic sopranos have ever been able to. Mr. Caldwell, who is a graduate of Syracuse, N. Y., University, is a pianist of rare ability. He brings to his work a fine musician, together with an admirable technique, which enable him to interpret the works of the great masters in a style truly artistic. Lewy Hawkins, business manager for Mr. Caldwell and Mrs. Thompson, is completing arrangements for a series of recitals throughout the country and is to be congratulated on bringing two such promising artists before the public. "Bleeding Kansas" should cover its face in shame or demand a changed democracy. Has the country lost its sense of justice, or, has it become numbed by reason of the Wilson brand of resistance which means loud speech and speedy retraction or inaction? The level-headed colored men of this country cannot afford to miss this opportunity of presenting to the world its cause. Oh' for an intrepid Frederick Douglass who will fight fearlessly this second form of slavery, which is not only cursing the colored race but injuring the whole country. The South voted its slaves before the sixties and since the seventies has distranchised the colored race as well as the whites that stood in its way, and is now voting them. Shall it continue to do so or will the real men of this country regardless of politics and party put it down just as was done in the case of slavery? HATS OFF TO "THE GAZETTE." There is only one way to get the real race news and that is to take "the old reliable" Gazette. One Year.....$1.50.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1916. DARE TO DO YOUR DUTY. "Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty as we understand it."—Abraham Lincoln. The Detroit Herald is too "live" a race paper to use the insulting word "Negress" whenever it can avoid doing so. Do not forget that a year's subscription to The Gazette will make a splendid Christmas gift for a relative, friend or an acquaintance. Try it. There is "a world of truth" in Dr. Byrd's leader, in The Gazette today, on "Hampton and Tuskegee." Read it carefully, thoughtfully. The Gazette is indebted to Hon. J. E. Cross, Ohio's exceptionally efficient supervisor of public printing, for a neat bound copy of the "Official List of Newspapers Published in Ohio." "Speakin' O' Xmas," a beautiful and intensely interesting little book of poems, published by Dodd, Mead & Co., Publishers, New York City, makes the finest kind of Christmas present. The Gazette recommends it. The crux of the litigation, for the interpretation of the Adamson law, turns upon whether the statute permits the railroads to exact a full eight hours' of labor in return for a day's pay. If the answer is in the affirmative, it is evident that the railroads will be the gainers—for the existing contracts with their men, based upon a combination of time and mileage service, now produce a day and a half of pay for what is oft-times only five or six hours of work. The Brotherhood, of course, want to eat their cake and have it, too. And this is axiomatically impossible. In the ululimatum which the President's commissioners presented to their Mexican colleagues at Atlantic City, there was constant talk about "the Mexican Government," what it is expected to do and not to do. Strictly speaking, however, is there a government in Mexico? There is some sort of a de facto organization down there, whose First Chief is recognized as possessing some kind of authority—which he is unable to exercise over any extended portion of Mexican territory; but as for a responsible government in the accepted sense of the term, there is none. There is no real government in Mexico. U. S. Senator Penrose has introduced as an amendment to the Owen bill the "force bill," defeated in a notable fight 26 years ago, which would give supervision of elections to the federal government and prevent disfranchisement of Afro-Americans and white Republicans in the southern states. The amendment was ordered read and must be voted on before disposition of the corrupt practices measure. GOOD! Let us watch and learn how every Republican member of the U. S. Senate votes on this amendment and if any fall to support it, do our full duty whenever they are again candidates for any elective office. That is the only way to "make them see the light in the right way." SEGREGATED Y. M. C. A.'S. The anti-"jim-crow" Y. M. C. A schooling, Rev. R. W. Bagnall secured when a resident of this city is becoming useful in Detroit where he is now located. The following is an excerpt from an article he had in the Detroit Herald, a race paper, last week: "Detroit needs some recreational center, but it doesn't need any 'jim-crow' Y. M. C. A. or any 'jim-crow' anything else. A segregated Y. M. C. A. will prove an opening wedge for movements towards segregated schools, segregated resident districts, etc. We will have none of it. Further, it is inefficient to duplicate institutions for social work and the Y. M. C. A. cannot serve as varied social interests or serve them as well as a social center proper and would have to be supplemented by other situations if it were established. On the other hand, we should have every valuable work for which the Y. M. C. A. provides and moreover can care for the social needs of the girls and women. Again, many of us are coming to feel that the modern Y. M. C. A., except as a school and a big boarding house, is a "white elephant" of inefficiency. The churches commonly criticise it as doing them more harm than good, as trying to be a church in itself. Its physical work, other agencies could do just as well. We want no "jim- crow" branch of the Y. M. C. A. We no want negotiation. Those who care for the well-being of the Negroes of Detroit should stand firm" on the matter. We do want a social center, one that is not a "jim-crow" branch." Right you are, Brother Bagnall, and all you say applies with equal force to Cleveland, its Afro-American population, and every other city in the North. Thank the Lord, our work of so very many years is beginning "to bear fruit" a little oftener each year. HAMPTON AND TUSKEGEE. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1916.

It would be a calamity for all men to think and act alike. Mr. Wilson is a better man than his Southern democracy, and it may be that he has made concessions to Mr. Villard, and this being his last term he may do better.

WAR TO BRING SIMPLER MUSIC Gatti-Casazza Believes the People Will Desert Studied Sort for the Lighter. How close the connection between world politics and opera has always been was emphasized when Gluco Gatti-Casazza, director of the Metropolitan Opera company, ventured to forecast the effect upon music in general and upon opera in particular of the conditions which may be expected to ensue upon the declaration of peace. "It is not impossible that the forms of government in Europe after the war will be highly centralized," he said, according to the New York Evening Post, "and that powerful autocracies will be in control. Such forms of government are usually favorable to artistic expression, for art is one alternative to political expression. "While there may not be a reaction, exactly, from the complicated musical forms of the futurists and the impressionists, it is my belief that the people will be tired after the war, that they will turn away from the sophisticated in music and the elaborate and the studied, and will seek for recreation and for the utmost simplicity."

Trawick, a Southern young white man, in a recent issue of the Epworth Era, of this city, has this to say in the defense of the womanhood of the race: pursuit. The average white man professes to believe that no Negro woman possesses purity of character, and, proceeding from that assumption, he persuades himself that he is a gentleman when he maintains a courteous bearing toward sheltered and protected white women. Toward women whose fathers, husbands and brothers possess the skills of shelter and protection of a similar code of honor, he may act as he pleases and defy resentment. "A gentleman is a man whose courteous conduct springs out of the purity of his own heart. He cannot be courteous or discountuous according to the value he fancies a woman places upon him. He cannot be courteous. Courtney is the defense of the defenseless. True chivalry knows no color line, no grade, no rank; but respects, dignifies, and safeguards all womanhood. Negro women are entitled to the white man's respect and gentlemanly treatment because modesty and refinement are actual virtues among women. Some women, some they constitute the womanhood of a race. White men who draw a color line in their practice of morality will not long be safe custodians of the morality of any woman. There need be no hesitation in accepting in full this part of the program of cooperation; for no matter what the problem in face relationships may be, the truth is certain that courtney will not complicate it. "Altogether, to the contrary, such conduct will make every other problem more easily adjustable." for it is without doubt true that the treatment of women of both races by men of the opposite race has engendered, more bitterness and hatred than in any other context. Respect for womanhood is a royal highway along which the two races can travel and be at peace. Every man should be ready to defend the honor of all women even at the cost of his own life, for what is a man's life worth if he sees virtue assailed and does not run to its fence? It ought to be no pressure to women, but blood be shed to teach us that civilization advances only as men co-operate to make womanhood its one priceless treasure." J.

WOMEN BALK AT PRICE OF GOWNS --- Parisian "Creations" Cost More Than the Average Customer Can Afford. DRESSMAKERS NOT TO BLAME Patrons Demand the Best France Has to Offer, and They Were Forced to Buy—Expensive Material Used on All Costumes—Much Velvet. New York.—There has been a host of troubles in the world of dressmaking this autumn. There are many chastened and saddened souls, among those who sell feminine apparel. Something happened—nobody yet knows quite what it was—but women did not buy as they should have during the three autumn months. In this city, for instance, where one expects the largest amount of money to be spent on clothes, the buying was held back for so long that numbers of high-class dressmakers and shops sent out additional announcements after the first one and devised several kinds of shows to bring the public. The delay in buying clothes was laid to infantile paralysis and the election, but, possibly, if the truth were acknowledged, it would be due to the tremendous prices asked for French gowns. It is true that prosperity was rampant and wages high, but the cost of living was greater than ever before in the history of this country, and it was not the psychological moment for dressmakers to ask enormous prices for apparel. Forced to Pay High Prices. It is true, they have their own troubles; the American women demand styles that have originated in France, and \the dressmakers who went to Paris in August for inspiration and for French models were asked prices that Marie Antoinette and Catherine de Medici would have refused to pay. They felt compelled to pay them, however, and when they came back to this country they tried to get the original price plus the duty. Evidently, enough American women rebelled to throw the dressmaking world into a state of turnoff and anxiety, and we have arrived at December without settling down with any definite outlay of costumery. Even counting the struggles of those who are trying to do their best without spending large amounts of money, it is not a winter of economy. Materials are splendid, evening gowns are especially gorgeous and women in general have taken on an oriental sumptuousness in their apparel as soon as they leave the street. Change in Demand. Up until now, women have gone along with whatever evening clothes they happened to possess, concentrating their attention and finances on the getting together of street clothes. In doing this, the manufacturers have A Small Velvet Hat of Red Velvet, the Feathers at the Back Also of Red. already complained that women are insisting upon one-piece frocks and top coats instead of coat suits, but as there has rarely been such a demand for fur coats, furriers are delighted. Even in the far South, women are wearing fur coats that envelop the figure, and after their first enthusiasm in the new possession dies out, they realize that they may not have 30 days in the whole season during which such a garment may be comfortably worn. SLEEVES OF GAUZY MATERIAL Their Length and Transparency Are a Feature of the Evening Gowns Worn Just Now. One of the noticeable features of this season's evening gowns is the use of long sleeves. Sometimes these are so transparent and of such gauzy materials that one has to look twice to see the sleeves. In a gown of black net, heavily spangled, are long net sleeves. At regular intervals, from the shoulder to the end of the sleeve, narrow bands of jet encircle the arm. The net being so fine, the bands look as though they have no support whatever. A clever sleeve arrangement is seen in a gown of old-gold cloth. A scarf of the lace is worn about the shoulders and the ends are turned up to form sleeves. Quite medieval in effect are the sleeves in an evening gown of velvet. Two strips of lace are used for the sleeves. The straight edges of the lace are joined to form an under-arm Whenever coats of fur are in fashion, economy can be safely counted out of the season's reckoning, and when velvet, brocade and bullon lace make up the trilogy of expensive materials, then, again, there is no chance for saving money. Prevalence of Velvet Velvet is everywhere. Don't have it for a street suit; that's all. In evening gowns it is lavishly used. The demand for trains has brought it into general use. Even the woman who does not have a velvet gown and who insists on practicing economy by still wearing her short frock of satin or tulle that belonged to last spring, compromises with the new fashion by adding a train of velvet at the waistline or just below the shoulderblades. It is a very good scheme, this. There is not enough change in the silhouette of evening gowns to cast the ones of last year into outer darkness. Satin is still profusely used, also silk net. The ultra-fashionable line is a straight one from bust to ankles, but a normal waistline, slightly loosened, with a careless girdle at or below it, remains in fashion. Skirts are again short in front for the evening, and the striking differ- Dinner Gown of Gold and Silver Transparent Tissue Touched With Lace—The Decoletage Is Outlined With Pink Roses. ence between then and now lies in the train. As all the new models show this in a detached form, the solution of putting an old gown into new shape is made easy. Velvet is almost exclusively used for this train, and its lining does not go along one line; every kind of fabric is used, from metallic brocade to plattings of silk liner; even a deep band of fur is used a quarter of the way up the train to steady it. Employed in Many Ways. The woman who has exotic notions does not choose a velvet that matches the rest of the gown in color. She puts a train of king's blue velvet against a slim frock of yellow tulle or she makes a train of Burgundy red edged with ermine against a gown of black tulle and jet. There are black velvet trains lined with white and edged with ermine, caught with ropes of jet over bare shoulders, that hang away from slim frocks of white satin girdled with gold. There is no attempt to get away from the velvet train, be it short or long, and it is quite evident from its wholesale appearance that it is arranged as often at home as in the dressmakers' salons. If any one color predominates in velvet it may be red; whatever the shade, a piece of it is inserted in almost every costume. There are few people who can stand the gorgeousness of Japanese red, but even it is found in velvet trains as well as suede girdles on afternoon frocks. You can see for yourself how quickly an unimportant gown is turned into an important one by the addition of a velvet train. Remember that it should not be long, that it should not be snakelike and that its lining should be important. The problem of fastening it to the gown is not easy, and when one gets to that part of it, it is best to be imitative rather than original. (Copyright by McClure Newspaper Syndl- Saving Expense. So many things can be accomplished for a very little money. If you cannot afford the conventional buffet, get a less expensive serving table. If you cannot afford a handsome living room table, get an unstained kitchen table, and paint it. Willow chairs are an inexpensive substitute for upholstered ones. And rug rugs solve the problem of inexpensive floor coverings. seam. The scalloped ends are joined from the shoulder to elbow. From a point below the elbow to the edge of the sleeves they are joined again. Such a sleeve can be worn in two ways. The arm can be thrust through the entire length of the sleeve, allowing the elbow to peep through, or, the arm can be thrust through the armhole and out at the elbow. The rest of the sleeve is then allowed to hang. Beaded Suede Muffs in Paris. Beautiful For a stroll in the afternoon through the parks, it is fashionable to wear a small melon-shaped muff made of suede skin, dyed in some shade to match the suit or coat. The muff is embroidered with beads, forming various conventionalized designs. There are also looped strings of beads at each opening of the muff. New Kid Gloves. Kid gloves in a variety of shades in keeping with the colors of dress fabrics have floral motifs embroidered on them. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1916. NOW THE 'KNICKER' --- And now it's trousers for little girls! A book might be written on the "Lure of the Trouser," or a multiple-reel motion-picture scenario, portraying the subtle temptation exerted by the bifurcated garment upon occidental women throughout the centuries of the development of dress, from clothing into clothes. Season after season the attempt to introduce trousers is made and season after season the female who is bold enough to appear on a public thoroughfare in a skirt which has a hem in two sections, instead of one, is sure of a large slice of publicity; and if no U-boat visits A America that day, or there does not happen to be a presidential election on, she may even win that coveted distinction of breaking into the news of the day, which it is the dream of every press agent to achieve at least once in his career for a favored client. A determined effort was made a few seasons ago, in the form of the "Jupe culotte," or trouser skirt, which made a brave struggle for existence against desperate odds. Again the thing was tried in the form of straight satin trousers under a walking skirt to take the place of a petticoat. This had a brief vogue, after having been heavily exploited by some of the leading shops of woman's apparel, but it soon died the death of the unpopular; and then trousers retired to the seclusion of the bouoir in the form of negligees or pajamas. But that they were only checked and not defeated is proved by their tentative recruescence this year. An effort "along another front," to use the military language that is such a temptation, is being made to introduce the persistent garments as part of little girls' walking dresses. The sketch shows how this is done. The frock is a coatlike affair of blue velvet—almost everything is velvet just now—which is stitched in the new fashion with canary-colored silk to form the decoration. At the sides there are brass buckles, which seem to be placed there to go with the high leather leggings, buttoned away above the knees. It would almost take a special nursemaid to attend to the fastening of so many buttons! The frock part is so short that it shows the tight little pair of blue velvet trousers, just like a boy's, which are worn with the smart little suit. American mothers would be apt to ask for long sleeves in a frock that was designed for outdoor wear as this one, but there is no reason why a coat should not be worn over it, after all. The headgear is a tam of the velvet. WIDE VARIETY IN VEILINGS Hard to Say That Any One Style Is Distinctly in Favor—Features of the New Models. It would seem that every veil is branded, and the consequence is that the wearer of the veil is branded also. One veil of fine hexagonal mesh has a vine trailing through its meshes, and directly over the cheek is a cluster of leaves in a circle forming a medallion. The effect was most unusual. Wool embroidery, which is such a popular trimming this season, has invaded the velling field. The wool is used to harmonize and to contrast with the veil on which it appears. An innovation where veils are concerned is the use of the elaborate design to decorate the crown of the hat. In this case the section covering the face is plain and the edge is finished with picoting, or the design is repeated BIRDS MUCH USED AS MOTIFS Not for Many Seasons Have Winged Creatures Been So Popular for That Purpose. A tigr of inspection through any needlework shop or a review of needlework books gives one reason to wonder where all the ideas for using birds as motifs ever came from. On a baby pillow or a pillow which can be used in the bondor there is embroidered a graceful swan. The whole body of the bird is outlined in tiny eyelids, which gives a very lacy effect to the article. Where feathers are indicated these are filled in with French knots. In this case the work is done in white. On a cushion and runner for the den the parrot has been honored, and the natural colors of the bird are artistically repeated on the stamped design. The filler stitch, which is nothing more than one long stitch, has been used to embroider this bird. While the work is quickly done, the result gives the impression of much labor having been employed. on the border of the veil. These veils are worn flowing. A feature of many snug-fitting veils is the combination of fancy borders with dots or other small, scattered designs. Among the new models are mesh veilings with delicate borders of chenille in new colors. Fur edgings are also used on veils. In some cases a wide band of fur is used for holding the veil in place. Black, of course, is strong where veil colors are concerned, but radlists are using taupe, dark brown and beige to a great extent. DICTATES OF FASHION Jet is one of the smart hat trimmings this year and so there are many jet ornaments for sale. Tassels of beads are as easy trimming for a hat. They must be placed with skill, of course, to look right. There are various little fur ornaments that can be bought for trimming hats. These are especially smart used on velvet hats. A small metal ribbon bow and metal tassel is a pretty hat trimming. It is placed on a ribbon hat band so that the tassel dangles over the crown of the hat. Exercise for Beauty The woman who does her own housework is usually worn out at the end of the day. She is apt to conclude, therefore, that exercise is not a word intended for her. She could hardly make a greater mistake, however. A woman needs a half hour's rest near the middle of the day, it is true, but she needs also systematic and stimulating exercise. One reason why women are so fatigued at the end of the day is that they lack muscle tone. Half an hour of brisk exercise suit to the particular needs of each individual, and taken regularly, followed by a cold dash of water, will serve to keep the whole muscular and nervous system in tone. It also works wonders in keeping eyes bright and color good, something that all women desire. Metal Thread Run in Silk Metal Thread Run in Silk Hosiery. Silk stockings of black and delicate colors are decorated with fine metal threads run in daring fashion at the sides and in a shadow design on the instep. AFTERNOON DRESS Copyright Woodward & Baldwin Tendencies of the dresses this fall and winter to creep up higher around the neck, leaving the decollete strictly to evening wear, is clearly shown in this afternoon dress of the latest design. Embroidered with silver and trimmed at the bottom with a wide band of lapin, this dress is one of the most charming to enter the style book so far this winter. Chief among its attractions is the fact that it makes up equally well in any color or material, which is not common in afternoon dresses. The bluebird has long been in favor and still remains popular. Because of its significance it is a suitable design to use for articles to grace a child's room. One mother covered an old clotheshorse with canvas, and on the material she embroidered here and there a bluebird. The woodwork had first been painted white to match the furniture in her child's room. The result was a screen that was not only a beautiful addition to the room, but an inspiration to the child as well. Doll's House. Mothers who have little girls might profit by this recommendation: Buy a large box from your grocer, put legs under it and nail three shelves inside. Use the first shelf as a kitchen, the second as a dining room and the third as a bedroom. Then furnish the little rooms after a visit to the 5 and 10-cent store. The doll's house can be kept out of the way in a corner of a room. Pile fabrics are in favor for sep arate coats. --- BETTER THAN CASE IDEAL METHOD OF ARRANGING ONE'S FEW BOOKS. Most Satisfying Piece of Furniture When One Has Not a Large Library—Solves Problem That Has Perplexed Many. Have you too few books to warrant your getting in a full-fledged bookcase? Have you too many to put in the one you have? These questions arise in the minds of so many people, and occasionally they are solved so satisfactorily that I think you ought to know about it, in case your books are on your mind. I know a girl who got married, after planning for months how she should furnish her little house. It was to be the prettiest little house in the world. And so it was, for I saw it and I know I But the thought of books and bookcases kept troubling this girl; she wanted everything in her house that she should have, but somehow, in all her life she had not had time for many books, and so she had only a few of her own. Her husband had a few more, it is true, but between them, even they could not begin to fill a bookcase. And yet she did want everything she should have. At first she was tempted to get a few sets of nicely bound books and have done with it, but she'd always been rather set against buying books "by the yard," as she called it; and then she ran across the nicest little things for books she'd ever seen in her life—a book trough, she believed they called it. It had a troughlike piece on top, where the books slid in and stood slantwise, so that their titles could be read at a glance, and it had two lower shelves for stowaways, and cane inset ends. Atogether it was a most satisfactory piece of furniture; and when I POLITICS Book Stand, Moderate in Size and Price. saw it in the girl's delightfully furnished living room. I realized that it took, very gracefully, the place of a "really-truly" bookcase. There are many things like this; small, unpretentious affairs made to accommodate *ag* reasonable number of books, taking up not so much space in a room, but yet giving that pleasant atmosphere of books which no room can really afford to do without. For books are sociable creatures and even if there isn't always time to hold one in the hand, everyone likes to see them about. So if you have too few books to warrant your getting a full-fledged bookcase, do get a small bookstand. A very sensible kind, with two shelves and four nice legs can be had in mahogany or oak; both shelves may be used for books, or only the lower one. Another bookstand, which only comes in imitation mahogany, and designed to hold a double number of books, and which has, oh, joy! a drawer, is another decided possibility for the possessor of too few books, or too many. In fact, there are so many of these little odd pieces that it would be difficult to decide which one to get, and quite easy, on the other hand, to get several. At any rate, they have solved the perplexing problem of how to place a few books, and we are thankful—Indianapolis Star. Satin Bibbon for Lingerie. Washable satin ribbon is now almost as much used for lingerie as is the conventional wash ribbon. A novelty for lingerie ribbon is white ribbon edged with a tiny thread of gold. Rosettes are used on underwear, and so are flowers made of folded satin rib Tests Quality of Hostess. Hospitality seems to be almost a lost art in the present age. The days when the unexpected stranger at the door was bidden in to eat and sleep are past. In some parts of the West, however, one still finds that open-hearted hospitality In homes where the host and his wife are always glad to welcome any traveler who happens to come to their door. But the modern housewife of the East is almost unacquainted with impromptu entertaining. She must be forewarned in plenty of time before she will even attempt to dine a friend. It is rather a pity that this highest form of hospitality should be allowed to die out. After all, it is not much of a tax on one's hospitality to entertain a friend or two at dinner or lunch when the invitation has been given a week or in advance. Any woman can do that kind of entertaining with ample time for preparation. But one's true metal as a hostess is shown when a friend arrives unexpectedly for lunch, or when the man of bon in blue and pink. When taking advantage of the many attractive bargains in white crepes and lingerie skirts, remember that all these materials, especially the crepes, shrink lengthwise, and especially in making combinations of camisoles hand-run tucks should be put in. These tucks may be put in above the waist or at the knee, the latter being the more convenient place. The nightgowns of the present time are so elaborate and so charmingly dalty that they must have a case for themselves. Take a piece of linen and fold it in envelope shape. Regulate the size according to taste. The flap of the case should be scalloped and a flower or conventional design embroidered on it. A touch of color can be introduced by lining the case in any pastel shade. Dainty Negligee. B MARIE MAYER W. C. MAYER Beautiful negligee, developed in pale pink crepe de chine and chiffon. The accordian plains and the edging of white swansdown add considerably to the daintiness of this negligee. For Brooms and Brushes It is difficult to find a satisfactory place for brooms and brushes when they are not in use, and if they are rosted against the walls in the corner of the kitchen they always give an untidy appearance, and are generally in the way and liable to be knocked over. With the contrivance shown in our sketch this little trouble can be avoided. The holder illustrated can be constructed in a few moments. It merely consists of a bar of wood, securely nailed across a corner of the scullery. Into the front of this bar large brass-headed nails are driven at intervals about two inches apart. The bar of wood should be fastened fairly high up on the wall, and the ends of the wood must be cut down so that they fit flatly against the wall, and then a A single large nail run through each end will hold the bar in its place. Diagram A illustrates this. The wood can be painted the same color as the wall, and suspended in this manner the brooms will last longer than they do if they are allowed to rest on their bristles when not in use. Picture Sports Hat. Dutch windmills, trees, birds, landscapes and wreaths of French lacecured flowers are all being applied or embroidered around the crowns of sports hats of velour and felt. Conventionalized beetles and other insects are carelessly scattered about the brims, too. the house turns up with a business acquaintance or two for dinner. That is the sort of a situation which tests the real value of one's hospitality, and unfortunately very few housewives rise to such occasions at all successfully. Don't let impromptu hospitality die out in your home. Encourage your husband to bring his friends home for dinner, and your daughter to bring her girl chums to lunch. Keep a stock of canned goods always ready on your shelves, and a supply of clean table linen in your linen closet for such occasions.—Irish World. Clean Your Decks for Action You can't imagine how much more satisfactory most house interiors would be if cleared of all the various riff-raff and junk, even including the ornaments. It would then be possible to start over, using some of the old things again, of course, but only after it had been determined that they were necessary and beautiful in the setting provided for them. They would then be used from choice, rather than habit, so justifying their existence. TO PURIFY WATER BLEACHING POWDER WILL KILL UNPLEASANT ODOR. Not a Hard Task, Nor Expensive, to Remove Disagreeable Smell From the Contents of Cistern, Says Prof. Newman. If the cistern water has a disagreeable odor it can be made sweet and usable by treating with bleaching powder, according to P. J. Newman, assistant professor of chemistry in the Kansas State Agricultural college. "The rain water as it comes from the roof is laden with micro-organisms, which under the right temperature conditions, grow and multiply," said Professor Newman. "When summer rains are allowed to run into the cistern this ideal temperature is soon reached and the development of these organisms proceeds rapidly. The unpleasant odor is due mainly to the life processes and decay of the bacteria." Bleaching powder, or calcium hypochlorite, can be purchased in any drug store at from 20 to 30 cents a pound. One-third to one-fourth of a pound is sufficient to treat 50 to 100 barrels of water. The powder as it comes from the store is placed in a pail or any convenient receptacle, which is then filled with water. The mixture is stirred for a few minutes until no more of the powder will dissolve, and is allowed to settle. The mixture is then poured into the cistern. Some of the powder will remain undissolved in the bottom of the pail. Pour in more water and repeat the process as many times as may be necessary to dissolve all the powder. Where possible it is preferable to agitate the water in the cistern while the bleaching mixture is being poured in. When used in the proportion indicated the powder is not in sufficient quantity to make the water unit for use, nor is it dangerous in any way. It acts simply as a deodorizer and a germicide. Jellied Veal. One of the most delicate of all meat dishes, and one that could tempt the most dainty appetite, is jellied veal. This calls for a skin of veal. In ordering it stipulate that you want the bone well cracked. Put it all in a large kettle and just cover with water. Let it boll slowly till the meat falls from the bone. Strain off the liquor and set the meat and the liquor aside to cool. When this has occurred chop the meat very fine and add a little pepper, salt and vinegar to the liquor. Now pour this over the chopped meat, mix and pour into a dish that has been lined with slices of hard-boiled eggs. The loaf should be allowed to harden for about twenty-four hours before being served. It should then be turned on a platter and garnished with lemons or olives. Little Fruit Puddings Use canned strawberries, blueberries or cut-up oranges or bananas, dried peaches or apples. Three cupufs flour, one large tablespoonful butter, salt to taste, two tablespoonful sugar, enough to make thick baker, add your cupufo of fruit. Fill small cups well greased two-thirds full. Place in your steamer for 30 minutes. Serve with hard butter sauce like this: Large spoonful butter, two tablespoonful powdered sugar mixed to a cream. Beef and French Beans Pepper and salt about three pounds of brisket, put it in a stew pan with two ounces of butter and three sliced onions. Cover the pan and fry gently for 20 minutes. Then add one-half pint of water and two pounds of French beans (cut). Stew gently for four hours. Mix one tablespoonful of flour and one tablespoonful of brown sugar with a small cupful of vinegar and add this to the stew 20 minutes before serving. Sour Cream Cocoa Cake. Two eggs, heated light, cup white sugar, little salt, one-half cupful thick sour cream with one-half teaspoonful soda; stirred in it it foams, two teaspoonfuls of cocoa, one of vanilla, cup and half (large) of pastry flour, and one-half teaspoonful of cream of tartar, in flour. A dessert spoonful of elder vinegar, last thing before putting in pan. Bake in not-too-hot oven about thirty-five minutes. Boiled Dressing for Cabbage Beat the yolks of three eggs, one half teaspoonful of mustard, two tablespoonfuls of sugar, one-half teaspoonful of salt. Add three tablespoonfuls of butter and five tablespoonfuls of vinegar. Stir all together and cook in a double boiler until it is thick and creamy. Cool before putting it on the cabbage. Have the cabbage shredded very fine, with an onion and red or green pepper. Compete of Apples Pare and core and cut into halves six large, fine apples.
