That the future of the race in America lies in its complete assimilation with the white race is the prophecy made by Dr. Paul Baker (white) in his new book, "Negro White Adjustment," just issued. Wm. C. George, of Washington, D. C. is to be appointed a vice-consul at Las Palmas, Canary Islands, while carleton A. Wall of New York is to be returned to his former position as vice-consul at Liberia, W. Africa. A ON WHAT'S DOING Commander Harry J. Walker of Boydston Post has appointed a committee to investigate local conditions in the administering of relief to soldiers. Widows of dead comrades are not being treated properly, it seems. While they are investigating, The Rounder suggests that they look into color-line conditions in the American Legion. In recent weeks, there have been several very ugly rumors along this line that seem to be well-founded. The old rumor of some months ago, that our city job-holders of the 11th, 17th and 18th Wards were orphaned and would joint meeting in Western Reserve Republican club rooms, at which they were told that they would have to pay 25c a week for the benefit of the Phillis Whealey Association "to keep it from going under," has been revived. It was said at the time that Councilmen Payne and Bundy were present at the meeting. The Rounder would like very much to have the facts, if there be any. In the design for new buildings in the Cedar-Central slum-clearance area, which the government is to supply, 380 apartments (flats) are provided for. There are to be four rows of buildings, separated by parks and a playground. The buildings' construction "is highly simplified with flat roofs, four stiles and an extend thrue the full width of the building and the windows are to be large. Garages will be provided. All buildings fireproof, made of special composition which insulates against heat, cold and sound. Total cost $1,500,000." The apartments are to rent for five or six dollars a month per room, and "Negroes" will be barred. Former Councilman Thos. W. Fleming, age 60, who was admitted to the bar in 1906, and his legal representative, Alexander H. Martin, were in common pleas court, Monday, with a request for Fleming's reintroduction as an attorney, which will finally be heard by all the judges. Judges Ternar and Ewing heard the request, Monday. A sub-committee of the Cleveland Bar Association has recommended that Fleming's request be granted, but the executive committee of the association is on record as opposing Fleming's plea. It does seem as if they are not satisfied with the long term of imprisonment-punishment given Tom but are determined to persecute him in the schoolhouse. Of the Schoolyes, Doubless because "blood is thicker than water." During the middle of the week, it was that that the judges might reach a decision in Tom's case, Friday (yesterday). Demolition of buildings in the slum area bounded by Cedar and Central Aves, and E. 22d and E. 30th Sts. to make way for the public works administration low-cost (?) housing project started. Wednesday. Contract for wrecking buildings in the area has been awarded to the Cuyahoga Wrecking Co. The project, costing $3,000,000, will be the third in the nation to get under way. It will provide quarters for 624 families, at rents averaging $6.50 a room per month. This automatically bars both the poor colored and poor whites to the housing in Cleveland's two so-called "slum clearance" projects, the Cedar-Central area and the Outwhate area, is not for the poor, designated "the lowest income group." THE REPUBLICAN PARTY "FUNDAMENTALLY SOUND." Editor Plain Dealer—Sir: In spite of all the wild stories of annihilation and sensational appeals for reorganization, the Republican party is still faithfully "carrying on"—firm in its conviction that its principles are right. There is need of new leadership in a few places and a little "renovating" or liberalization of the platform, but fundamentally its principles are absolutely sound and right. We will come back—and stronger than ever. I have just returned from a tour of the state and find that Republicans aren't taking all of this "ballyhoo" very seriously. They know that it Dennis L. Leopold RAYMOND J. JEFFREYS either originates from Democratic propagandists, or personal opportunists who grab at these unfortunate situations in an effort to take the reins themselves. While the great masses of the people, in their panic and misery, are being swept off their feet and "grabbing at straws," in a popular wave of "isms," the G. O. P. stands on guard like a beacon light in the darkness, and he shares to guide us on when this fad, like all others, passes on, and is long forgotten. Any party that could remain in almost continuous power, under the Constitution of the United States, for 70 years of the greatest history making period in the world and lead us to the place where we were the greatest civilization on the face of the globe, couldn't become worthless and obsolete so quickly. We grew powerful, rich and great under the leadership of the Republican party. Our laboring people lived on a higher scale and enjoyed more luxuries than any other race that ever lived on earth. Intelligent, sound thinking people aren't deserving their common sense because "Santa Claus" brought the Santa place and luring the votes during the "election holidays." RAYMOND J. JEFFREY Cleveland.

SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS MEANS! RO-AMERICANS RUCTION DAYS, IMMEDIATELY THE WAR OF THE REBELLION, dling the Roosevelt Regime—Inter- minence by Kelly Miller of Howard University. TO AFRO-AMERICANS TO AFRO-AMERICANS FROM RECONSTRUCTION DAYS, IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE WAR OF THE REBELLION. Down to and Including the Roosevelt Regime—Interesting Reminiscence by Kelly Miller of Howard University. --- Among my last recollections of my home town, Winnosboro, S. C., was a red shirt parade-which broke up a Republican meeting in the interest of the campaign of Garfield and Arthur in the fall of 1880. These mounted knights of mischief escorted the speaker to the depot and gave him a red-hot send off. A few days later I took the train for Howard University, Washington, D. C., where I arrived on the first arrival, the students were having a bon-fire celebration of the Republican victory. In those early days politics engaged the chief energies of the "Negro" mind. The reconstruction regime had been overthrown in 1867 but there was universal hope and expectation of regaining the blissful seats from which the race had been recently cast out. The "Negro" vote, the intimidated, was still allowed to function at a reduced rate of speed. Just then the disfranchisement movement swept over the South, and by revised constitutional provision, prived the race of the last vestige of political power. This movement sprung up and culminated in the "Negro" middle nineties. The "Negro" in high official life flourished for fully a decade after the overthrow of the reconstruction regime. I used to see B. K. Bruce, of Mississippi, as he moved in dignified and potential silence in and out of the U. S. Senate. I can recall John R. Lynch as a member of Congress from Mississippi. Robert Smalls, George W. Murray and Thomas Miller from South Carolina, John M. Langston from Virginia and O'Neill and George W. Murray as duly elected and seated members of the lower House of Congress. I also remember a number of "Negro" contestants who failed to be seated. A long while after the "Negro" had been illustrated in his ambition for elective office, he was recognized by being assigned many important appetitive positions. I have known a half dozen Ministers of Hayti and as many or more to Liberia along with consulars with score of "Negro" Registers of the Treasury. Recorders of Deeds, Auditors of the Navy and Recorders of the Land Office. Thruout the southern states there were Collectors of the Port, Postmasters, Receivers of Public Monies and Internal Revenue officials. Each Presidential inauguration used to furnish a gala occasion for these political celebrities to meet here. They included the most distinguished names in the history of the race. Doug Leeson of George W. Williams, J. C. Dancey, Wm. H. Lewis, Bishop Vernon, J. C. Napier and Judge Robert Terrell. The story today reads like a chapter in forgotten history. All of these Republicans, When Grover Cleveland was elected to the Presidency in 1884 have prevailed within the ranks of political Afro-Americandian. The Soil was the backbone of the Restoration of Revolutions under Harrison, Roosevelt and Taft restored the former regime only in part. Taft set the policy that fixed the fate of "Negro" officialdom in the South. I can also remember when distinguished "Negroes" in the North were elected to representative positions mainly by white votes. John P. Green, Harry C. Smith and George W. Williams were sent to the Legislature in Ohio. There were not enough "Negro" voters in any political unit to sustain them. Massachusetts, Michigan and other northern states had a number of such representatives. But the reactionary war that swept over the South had reiterated the North. In these latter days, "Negro" representatives in the North, whether in the city council, state legislature or national Congress, must needs rest mainly on "Negro" votes. There was a long hiatus in which the race was all but wholly eliminated from elective positions, North and South. For fully a decade there was to be found not a single "Negro" in Congress, state legislature or city council. Twenty-six years spanned the gap between George W. White, the last "Negro" Congressman, of the old regime, till the coming of DePriest on the basis of "Negro" suffrage in the North. The northern migration has shifted the center of political gravity from the South to the North. There are no longer any "Negro" in the South. Perry Howard was the only southern "Negro" who functioned in the last election and he confined his activities wholly to the North.

THE THIRTEENTH Annual Dinner-Party Given by Mrs. Mary Ellen Jackson a Grand Success—Splendid Music Rendered by Antioch Choir. One of the most thorny enjoyable social functions held in this city for a long time was the thirteenth annual dinner-party given Sunday from 4 to 6:30 p. m. at our Home for the Eagard, E. 49th St. and Cedar Ave., by Mrs. Mary Ellen Jackson. A delightful representative gathering of people in the community filled to capacity the rooms and front hall of the Home and was greatly pleased with the following splendid program rendered by the senior choir of Antioch Baptist church, Mrs. Olga Gunn, director and accompanist, Mrs. Florence D. Cochran presided very acceptably indeed. Song, "It Pays to Serve Jesus;" prayer, Thomas Loyd; song, "The Name of Jesus;" welcome from the Home and the hostess (Mrs. Ellen Jackson), Mrs. Etta Banks, first vicepresident of the Home; spiritual, "I Want to Be a Christian," led by J. E. Cooper; words of appreciation, Mrs. Ruth McKinney; contralto solo, Miss Mayne Loyd; learning, Miss Lois Kerns; solo, "Does Jesus Care," Rev. Bertram Curry; spiritual, "Weary Traveler," Thomas Loyd; anthem, "Ho! Every One That Thistleth," with obligato solo by Miss Myrle Wiggins; remarks, Mrs. Loyd; home song, "Love Lifted Me"; choir, Mrs. Bessie Crawford, chairman lady-board of managers; Mrs C. Blue, matron of the Home, and Mrs. Cornelia F. Nickens, treasurer, were presented and made appropriate responses. Pleasing and timely remarks were made by Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Gazette; reading, Miss Mildred Coleman; closing remarks by the hostess, Mrs Mary Ellen Jackson; song, "In The Garden." Much thoroly merited praise was showered upon Mrs. Jackson who has stood all the expense of every one of her thirteen dinner-parties at the Home for Our Aged. She is a woman of great importance and Mrs Guinn's excellent work, exemplified in the choir's numbers of the program, stamps her as exceptional, and was the theme of much very favorable comment—every bit of it deserved. The special table for the aged contained a number of beautiful candles and other decorations.

No party or individual in politics is "dead" that will, not "stay dead," a well-known Republican said, many years ago. --- Abyssinia and Italy have apparently settled their differences but our thought is that the former will do well to be prepared for a surprise move on the part of either Italy or Japan. Raymond J. Jeffries' letter elsewhere in this paper is a good one. Read it carefully, thotfully. It contains a world of political truth which many today seem in dire need of. Call your friends' and acquaintances' attention to it. --- The N. A. A. C. P. is appealing for contributions to a fund of ten thousand dollars with which to send a copy of the illustrated report of the horrible Claude Neal lynching at Marianna, Fla., on Oct. 26, to 100,000 clergymen of all faiths, denominations and races in all parts of the country. The amount asked for is rather large for the purpose stated. But what the organization suggests doing ought to be done, and more. The report should also be sent to the editor of every leading daily newspaper in Europe. --- The American Federation of Labor's report on unemployment in the country, which announces a half million more lacked jobs in October, this year, than were without them, last year in October, is "a pain and a headache" for those who claim the economic depression is passing. Then the government comes along, the first of the week, and asks a loan of nine hundred million dollars to meet the heavy relief demand, for the winter months only, which will be greater than that of last winter. Isn't this "throwing a monkey wrench into the NRA machinery?" --- The Federal Emergency Relief Administration at Washington considers its recent surrender to the south's fight for local determination of prevailing rates of wages "to be a thorny satisfactory method," according to Jacob Baker, assistant administrator, who replied, Nov. 30, to a telegram of protest sent by the N. A. A. C. P., Nov. 23, '34. Thus is the official stamp of approval of the Roosevelt administration placed upon lower wages for southern "Nogroes" than is paid southern "crackers" and others. And there are "Nogroes" in both the South and the North who style themselves "Democrats." Lord, have mercy! HITLERISM IN CLEVELAND. It is perfectly obvious that Hitler agents are being concentrated in Cleveland. It is also apparent that unless these foreign emissaries are promptly ousted, there will be subsequent troubles here for these agents, Mr. Hitler, who finds it increasingly difficult to hold his own dupes in check, will be well-advised to call in his paid agents. Thanks to the work of John L. Spivak, author of a book which is a thoroguing exposure of the southern chain gang, every move of Hitler's spies in this country is being made public. Thru a series of articles in "The New Masses," a weekly magazine to be found at the Cleveland Public Library, readers may obtain the names of the chief Hitler agents, their addresses, and their methods of spreading race-hatred. We suggest to our patrons that they get acquainted with this journal and learn how to recognize a Hitler man on sight or the moment he breaks into print. Remember that in Germany no Afro-American is permitted to hold land, and the entire black race, like the Jews, is deemed inferior; altho the Japanese are today tailed as superior because the inconsistent Hitler has effected a secret military agree- ment with Toyko. Do not be fooled by the pattern which is being employed to befuddle the minds of a few beer-guzzling shoekeepers. WHY? A "puppet-show" was given at St. Clair school, recently, with colored and white youngsters participating, as usual. When a Cleveland Daily News photographer arrived to take pictures of the leading characters, a white child was substituted for one of our youngsters, the only one in the group, apparently to please the Cleveland News or its representative, or both. The Gazette wants the facts from the Forest City Publishing Company, owner of The Cleveland News and The Cleveland Plain Dealer. The 75,000 Afro-Americans in Cleveland want to know, too. They read and patronize the local daily newspapers more generally than the prejudiced foreign element in the community to which some cater. Is Hitler fascism condoned by the Forest City Publishing Company, owner of The Cleveland News and The Cleveland Plain Dealer? It would seem so. Perhaps the legal defense committee of the local N. A. A. C. P. branch, the League of Struggle and our City Federation of Women's clubs will ascertain the facts in detail. Let's have them, immediately. --- SCOTTSBORO CASES. It has become clear, even to the most unenlightened, that Alabama demands the lives of the Scottsboro boys. Innocence means nothing to the murder gang in control of that state. What must our answer be? A worldwide fight against the lynchers who would cloak their villainy under the guise of legality! Every city in the world should be aroused to protest. Here in this country the N. A. A. C. P., the new American Scottsboro Committee and the I. L. D. must sink their differences long enough to make common cause against the enemy because the southern lynch-courts are not interested in justice but in keeping southern Afro-Americans in virtual slavery. The case is not solely to determine if nine innocent boys are to die in the electric chair, but also to decide whether our government is to survive a democracy. Nothing short of that is at stake. The Gazette urges united action with scores of organizations participating. We call on the board of directors of the N. A. A. C. P. too enter wholeheartedly into the Scottsboro cases. The boys must not die! Let us have an immediate united front against the proposed wholesale legal-lynching in Alabama. The fight for the freedom of the boys is a battle against lynch-murder, against disfranchisement in the courts. MRS. BROWN MURDERED? The county grand jury, Monday, had before it the traffic "manslaughter" case which stirred up chornet's nest in the police department, last week. It is the case in which Peter DeGreen, age 52, of 6820 Berwick Rd., is charged with killing Mrs. Louise Brown, a widow with for small children, who was struck by his automobile at E. 81st St. and Kinsman Rd. Nov. 21, while he was driving it at a high rate of speed. Sergeant Cornelius Sullivan of the manslaughter squad, who said politicians' influence, in the case, had been brought to bear on his superiors to "lease" DeGreen out of the matter, was among the witnesses called before the grand jury. Harold T. Gassaway was appointed administrator of Mrs. Brown's estate and Alexander H. Martin, attorney. Our people of this community are depending on them not only to start a damage suit against DeGreen but to see that he is prosecuted to the limit of the law now. As far as we have been able to learn, to date, the killing of Mrs. Brown seems to be absolutely inexusable. Sergeant Sullivan produced two witnesses (and said he could get others) who saw DeGreen's car hit others. Mrs saw DeGreen's car up. DeGreen said at first that no one saw the killing but later on, after the two witnesses were produced, admitted he was wrong in making that statement. "Step on the gas," Messrs. Gassaway and Martin—with the help of the N. A. A. C. P. local branch, the League of Struggle and our local Federation of Women's Clubs. Let's have some real action in this DeGreen case. Mrs. Brown was a very poor woman. She is dead and the four little orphans she left are of course helpless and without friends. Somebody must see that justice is done, as well as damages secured for them from DeGreen. It is up to those we have mentioned, and all of us who can help in any honorable way, to see that both are secured. All of our readers in this community will please "The Old Reliable" Gazette greatly if they will patronize The May Co., in preference to other large stores in the city, because it gives employment to a goodly number of our customers and asks for us to thrue the columns of the Gazette. Be sure to read their advertisement elsewhere in this paper. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1934.

Rome, Italy.—Japan's threatened expansion into African territories where Italy has extensive colonizat- ion and has been invaded in connection with Japan's invitation to join her in denouncing the Washington naval treaty. With the return, last week, of King Victor Emmanuel aboard the royal yacht Savoira from the African colony of Somaliland, it became known that Italy's policy with regard to Nipponese expansion had undergone definite clarification. Alessandro Mussolini, secretary of colonies, stated the new position in a recent sneech at Naples. "In the Far East," he said, "the political situation tends to get worse. In the face of the complexity and importance of European interests in this region of the world Japan, for the first time in history, offers the inhabitants extraordinarily developed economically, industrially and in a military way. The more one restrains the Japanese expansion in the east, the more she will try to expand in other sectors and in other continents, as is proved already by Japan in Abyssinia. King Victor I was during his recent visit to Italian Somaliland, journeyed for some time along the Abyssinian border. His discoveries, if any, concerning Japanese commercial penetration of north Africa were not made public, but the subject has been discussed in high quarters with some feeling of alarm. Lesson in Africa could very well represent the final objective of Japanese expansion "To draw the black continent into her own orbit would signify for Japan not so much an acquisition of power," he said, "as a means of depriving Europe of the possibility of using it for the defense of her civilization." Africa, the undersecretary of colonies pointed out, is a fertile field of action, source of new energy and of inexhaustible resources. It is, therefore, sufficiently vast so that all European powers may develop in a parallel manner in different sectors. Italy, he said, has a role to play in Africa side by side with France and England. His address was regarded as explaining from a commercial viewpoint why Italy has sent heavy military reinforcements in recent months, the consequence of European and Somali land. Recurrent rumors, however, that Mussolini was planning an expedition into Abysssinia have been specifically denied by the Italian and Abyssinian governments in a joint communique. JOBLESS INCREASE Reported by the American Federation of Labor, Last Week. Washington, D. C. —On the eve of a significant administration decision as to its future relief policy, the American Federation of Labor reports a half million more men and women were unemployed than in October, a year ago. Wm. Green, president of the federation, says this means that the relief problem over the coming winter will be "the most serious this nation has ever faced." He and an entering the winter of 1934," he said, "with 550,000 more out of work than we had at this time, a year ago. The A. F. of L, estimates show 10,671,000 without work in industry in October, 1934, as compared with 10,122,000 in October, 1933." Prime Sport News Joe Won!

Wilberforce Wins Detroit, Mich. — A last-period touchdown gave Wilberforce a 12 to 7 victory here, Thanksgiving, over West Virginia State College, before 15,000 in Roosin Stadium. The general impression is that the attendance was hardly large enough to make the game a paying contest owing to the large expense incurred in putting the team into Cleveland and other large cities in this section of the country was a great disappointment.

THE TROLLS THE SOUTHERNAIRES The Southernaires, nationally known radio and concert artists of the National Broadcasting Company, will appear in person at Music Hall, this city, Wednesday evening, Dec. 12. This famous and popular group is touring the middle west under The management of the Artists Bureau of the NBC in Tucson, Tc. From top to bottom: J. S. Toney, and Chica. Let's Make A THE BOND TREE BLOSSOMING plants from tin cans! Does that sound like magic? Not at all! It's as original and clever a stunt as any that has ever been thought of. A coffee tin and bits of crepe paper in flower colors make the prettiest table decoration you can imagine. Everybody's doing it, and it has become a vague as wide spread as the vague for crocheting hats of crepe paper. Don't throw away your coffee cans. Use them to make the silver spiral stems of the plants. The sides of the can make the stems; the bottom of the can makes the base. The flower petals are simply ovals cut from crepe paper. If possible, use the double texture two-toned crepe which comes in lovely shades for flowers, and which gives the best results. The finished "plant" is a sparkling, colorful piece that looks like glass and flowers. Here are the step-by-step directions. Step 1: With old scissors, cut a slit from the top to the bottom of the can exactly opposite the seam. Step 2: Cut side of can horizontally into narrow strips about % inch wide, leaving % inch on either side of the seam uncut to form the main stem. If the can is tall, cut it down so that the part you use is about 4 ME, AL I'll help you look for it baritone; Wm. Edmondson, bass; Lowel Peters and Homer Smith, first and second tenors, respectively. Clarence Jones is the arranger and pianist while Lowel Peters is the principal soloist of the organization. The Southernaires will give recitals in Columbus, Dec. 13; Cincinnati, Dec. 14; Wilberforce, Dec. 15, and Chicago, Dec. 16. Tin Can Plant! inches high. Step 3: Bend the main stem forward slightly toward the center of the can and spread out and curl the narrow strips. Step 4: Cut petals from crepe paper with the grain of the paper across the petal, not lengthwise. Each petal is made of two thicknesses, the large petal being an oval 2½ inches long and 1½ inches across the widest part, and the smaller petal 1½ by ½ inch. Step 5: Create each petal through the center lengthwise. Place a small petal on a large one—the smaller petals with the dark side up and the larger ones with the light side up. Use three double petals for each corner of the double petal for a flower leaf. Step 6: Bend the ends of the tin strips about % inch over the center of the petals and pinch tightly. Step 7: With the finger tips and thumbs, spread the flower petals around to form star-like blossoms. You'll have the most delightful, unexpected results when you've finished. Your friends will soon be clamoring for a tin can plant for themselves or for the directions for making one. The plant shown is one of the favorites, with its yellow and light-orange petals, leaves of two-toned green, and silvery stems. Not Much Hope Now DID YOU FIND IT?

We colored Americans' worst present blunder is use of the word, Negro, as a race name. It is useful in imbuing the minds of white people with the fool idea that we are not Americans, and not fully human beings. — Editor Wm. Monroe Trotter in the Boston Guardian. IS IT ANY USE TO CON- TEND FOR RIGHTS? Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contending, after years of murders discrimination and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say, "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature without self-respect and are not worthy of respect; those who respect only those who respect and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt.—Wm. Monroe Trotter in The Boston (Mass.) Guardian. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1934.

Prepared by National Geographic Society. With the approach of Armistice day the patriotic American's thoughts turn back to that day in 1918 when the World war ceased, and to the men who gave up life for world peace. Today 30,880 heroes sleep in beautiful cemeteries in the shadows of handsome memorials near the scenes of their war engagements. In order that the gallant achievements and noble sacrifices of American troops might be suitably commemorated, the American Battle Monuments commission was created by an act of congress approved March 4, 1923. Gen. John J. Peterson is its chairman. turned over to the all in chief to use as he sai stop the enemy drive of started north of the Alaskan divisions were hurried the vicinity of Chateau rectly across the Germance toward Paris.

Eleven monuments rise on the principal American battlefields and at certain chief bases of our operations. Two of these, one at Brest and the other at Gibraltar, have been built in tribute to the achievements of our navy's World war forces. In size and design the battlefield monuments range from the towering Doric shaft, topped by a statue, on the dominating hill of Montfaucon, to the simple, effective monument near the town of Ypres, with its low lines blending with the plains of Belgium. The imposing monument on Hill 204, near Chateau-Thierry; the majestic circular colonnade on Montsec, in the St. Mihiel region, and the other memorials in their size are proportionally representative of the strategical importance and greatness of the operations conducted in those areas by American military forces. On many of these monuments have been inscribed the names of places where the troops engaged in heavy fighting. Orientation tables assist the visitor in identifying these positions on the landscape, and maps engraved on the walls indicate the progress of the offensives, as well as the divisions which took part. Decorative features also show the insignia of the divisions and larger units, types of equipment used by the American soldiers, and the coats of arms of the United States and allied nations. Beautiful Chapels the chapels in the military cemeteries likewise vary widely in design. Each is a gem of architectural beauty and an enduring shrine consecrated to the memory of those who fell in battle. On their walls are carved the names of the 1,239 men whose final resting places are unknown and of all those whose marble headstones bear the inscription, "Here rests in honored glory an American soldier known but to God." This inscription, prepared by the commission, was afterward engraved on the tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National cemetery. At each of the cemeteries beautiful and comfortable reception rooms have been established near to or in connection with the caretaker's offices for the convenience of visitors and those desiring information regarding the soldier dead. All of the memorials were designed by carefully selected American architects of note, whose work has more than justified the confidence that the commission reposed in them. Each memorial, too, was planned with full consideration of the inherent beauty of the particular position it occupies. In every case infinite care has been exercised in the selection of the quality and in the utilization of the stone, marble, and other materials that have gone into their construction. The general locations of the major battlefield memorials are enduring reminders of the three historic localities on the western front where American forces in large numbers engaged in active combat. These are known as the Alsine-Marne, the Meuse-Argonne, and the St. Michel battlefields. Only the last named of these areas was in Lorraine, that part of eastern France set aside in the summer of 1917 as the concentration area for the American army. The British army had been established in the northern part of the long battle lines, near the Channel ports, thus protecting its direct line of communication with the British Isles. The French army protected Paris. Yankees to the Rescue. The American army was assembled well to the east of Paris, where it could be supplied by the railways leading from the comparatively unused South Atlantic ports of France, thus avoiding the congested area around Paris. Early in 1918, while the American army was being built up in this section, the Germans commenced their series of major offensives. Available American troops were immediately turned over to the allied commander in chief to use as he saw fit. To help stop the enemy drive of May 27, which started north of the Aine river, American divisions were hurried into line in the vicinity of Chateau-Thierry, directly across the German line of advance toward Paris. Other American divisions took part in the great counter-offensive which began July 18, 1918, and within three weeks had driven the enemy to the north of the Vesle river. The American First, Second, Third, Fourth, Twenty-sixth, Twenty-eighth, Thirty-second, Forty-second, and Seventy-seventh divisions took part in the battles which raged in the vicinity. Of the 300,000 Americans participating in these operations, 64,000 became casualties. Therefore, on historic Hill 204, rising just west of Chateau-Thierry, has been constructed an imposing memorial, with twin rows of majestic columns. The site of the monument commands a sweeping view of the Marne valley, in an area rich in fields of grain, sugar beets, and vineyards, fecked with quaint towns and quiet villages, criss-crossed by little streams. Here devastation stalked with the progress of battle. Every town was a target for artillery. Farms were furrowed with myriads of trenches and subterranean shelters, subsoll was turned up over formerly fertile land, fields were implanted with barbed wire and sown with shell fragments. Two Great Cemeteries. There would be little in this vicinity in years to come to remind American pilgrims of the heroic deeds of their countrymen who fought in the Alsine-Marne region were if not for the monument and the two American military cemeteries. One is located on the northern side of the hill on which stands the famous Belleau Wood. The other is near Fereen-Tardenois, just north of the Ourec river. The Oise-Alise, near Fere, is the second largest of the American cemeteries abroad, with 6,012 battle dead resting within its confines. The first operation of a complete American army as an independent unit in the World war was the attack of September 12, 1918, in the St. Mihiel region, which lies southeast of Verdun, between the Meuse and Moselle rivers. German attacks early in the war had driven a wedge between Verdun on the Meuse and Pont-a-Mousson on the Moselle. The apex of the wedge included St. Mihiel, about 20 miles south of Verdun. This sector, occupied by the Germans for about four years, was the St. Mihiel salient. A study of a map will show how geography generally determines the strategy of war as well as the commerce of peace time. The environning hills to the east and west dictated that the main attack should be delivered northward. The First, Second, Fourth, Fifth, Twenty-sixth, Forty-second, Seventy-eighth, Eighty-second, Eighty-ninth and Nineteenth divisions took part in the offensive, in which approximately 550,000 Americans were engaged. The American Second army was organized in this region a month afterward, in October, 1918, and later the Seventh, Twenty-eighth, Thirty-third, and Ninety-second divisions undertook a general attack in the direction of Metz. The signing of the Armistice halted that battle. Memorial on Montsec. These operations, and the services of American units in the quiet sectors to the southeast and in the Vosges mountains, are commemorated by an imposing memorial on the isolated hill, Montsec, located a few miles east of St. Mihiel and lying close to the southern face of the salient, in the area liberated by the American offensive of September 12. For miles around it dominates the landscape, yet when one passes between the pylons and mounts the steps leading to the topmost flight of the approach, the majesty and impressiveness of the monument assume even more surprising proportions. At Thiaucourt, is the third largest of the American military cemeteries with 4,152 headstones. The graves lie in a large rectangular area, cut by tree-bordered walks and beds of flowers. At one end stands a cross-shaped monument, on the front of which is a compelling stair deplaining the typical youthful American soldier, with trench helmet in hand and side arms and canteen slung on his waist and shoulder. At the north end, beyond the eagle-shaped central sandal of stone, stands the chapel, an open, circular colonade, or peristyle, flanked by a chapel room and a museum. The chapel interior contains richly colored mosaics, which include, above the carved altar, the Angel of Victory. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1934. COAT WITH MUFF By CHERIE NICHOLAS A new slogan which is going the rounds in fashion's realm is "the coat with a muff." It is a movement which is being enthusiastically endorsed far and wide, both because of its smart style appeal and its practicability. Instead of buying a coat trimmed with fox, mink, nutria, or whatever the fur, and then starting out on a wearisome search for a muff to match, all you have to do is to ask your sales person for a fur-trimmed coat with muff. The picture shows a particularly handsome muff and coat combination which was one of several displayed at a recent style exhibit given by the Chicago Wholesale Market council. There are many high-fashion details in this outfit which bespeak important fashion trends. The fact that this coat is fashioned with a cape is significant. As is often the case in this season's coat styling, this cape, which by the way is of Russian caracul, is detachable—can be taken off and worn with your new wool one-piece street dress. The new Russian neckline is interpreted in the high collar. Silver fox is the fur, the caracul muff being trimmed with the tails. CAPE OF VELVET IS NEW WINTER STYLE It's Shown Both in Black and in Vivid Tones. The queenly full-length cape of velvet is one of the most dramatic notes of after-dark formality for winter. What with the divergence in evening gown styles this season, the one safe bet for wear with either a full-skirted robe de style or a silky streamline gown is the long cape. It is being shown in black or in vivid jewel tones, often lined in a contrasting color, and sometimes lined with fur. It is most popular with wide upstanding collar to frame the face, or with corded detail at the shoulders. Sometimes it has a flat Peter Pan collar of fur, with a small round muff to match. Sometimes it has a small shirtwalt collar of fur, with matching muff. sometimes there is no risk at all, but a monk's cord for the neck fastening, a monk's cord for the neck fastening, and most effective it is, too, with metallic accents in the trimming. For instance, there is a black velvet cape with silver lame stripes, and a small upstanding silver collar with matching cuffs. FLASHES FROM PARIS Princess line vies with robe de style. Wide sashes contrast many evening gowns. Smart hats have cord and tassel trims. Russian, Chinese and Tyrolean influence is strong in fashion. Color wins increasing approval of chic Parisiennes. Silks Making Loveliest Showing in Many Seasons The silk parade now sweeping New York and has brought forth the loveliest showing in many seasons in New York windows. Green plays a prominent part in these silk displays along with rich brocades and velvets in "churchly" shades of green and purple. A fascinating collection of silk dresses of the past century is linked with modern silks, among them a quaint 1860 green striped taffeta with today's fashionable tunic, an 1880 stiff satin bustle gown in the rich dark green which is again so much in the limelight, when an 1888 Lyons velvet gown by Worth, inspired by a portrait of Louis XIV's sister, is gorgeous in blue-green velvet. SHIRTWAIST FROCK By CHERIE NICHOLAS It speaks well for a fashion when it carries over successfully from one season to another as is true of the shirtwist frock. On the present style program the shirtwist frock victoriously holds its own as smart for daytime wear. It is now being tailored of timely light woolens or novelty weaves and even printed velveten and velvets in rich autumn hues are being fashioned shirtwist-wise. There is a new material just brought out this season which yields most happily to the popular shirtwist styling. It is an all-bemberg surah cloth, being one of those synthetic weaves such as is winning favor among even the best of leading designers. The great hue and cry for the dress which can be acceptably and comfortably worn under the heavy winter coat is admirably met in the shirtwist dress pictured. An all-bemberg surah cloth checked in black and red, fashioned it. An Egyptian motif at the collar ornaments the neckline. LACE FAVORED BY PARIS DESIGNERS Never Before Have Looms Produced Such Variety. In every collection of the haute couture in Paris we find evidence of the femininity and chile of lace for the evening or as trimming on afternoon clothes. Never before have lace looms produced such a variety of types or lacemakers been so successful with their experiments to find something new. It is always interesting to follow up the choice of the contourers in preparing their collections to find out whether smart women—the clients—find the same novelties interesting. Starella, a new genre of lace introduced this season by Dogin has been enthusiastically received by creator and client. This is a lace made on a chantilly or fantasy tulle ground, with paillettes woven into the material. The advantage of this treatment is obvious. Gold paillettes in a black chantilly lace is a favorite at Mainbeochor. Rochas has done an ideal dinner dress in black with multicolored paillettes. This frock, "confetti", has a long voluminous skirt over a taffeta petticoat and a loose tailored jacket with long sleeves. Channel has made, for a fragile beauty, an evening gown in pale pink lace with iridescent paillettes. Another happy discovery in lace-making is the use of cellophane threads to outline and emphasize patterns. These threads are put in by hand. The cellophane against the mat background gives a gala touch and a crispness to the material that suggests silhouettes and treatments not usually associated with lace gowns. Worth does a particularly nice dress in this type of lace, dyeed the new brown-purple called "prune." STYLE NOTES Season of elaborate millinery is anticipated. Fur is lavished on most everything. Stitched velvet hat in rich color is smart. Green costumes with brown accents are outstanding. Metal glitters throughout both day and night mode. Berets are fashioned of tweed to match costume. Sleeves play dramatic role in the latest fashions. Urge Turned-Up Hats Hats turned up at the back are urged by almost all our leading milliners.
