NEW TORK. Nov. 2. (Special.)
"vS"hen a President's wife decides to so
to Europe with peace delegation the
question of clothes becomes to many
persons almost as, important as the
term of the Dcace treaty, it is.
fnr not surDrisinr to find that Mrs.
"VVoodrow Wilson has been devoting a
Croat deal of her time lately to the se
lection of a suitable outfit which, it
became known today, is being made by
a Fifth Avenue dressmaker ana im

tail of travel, for she is upholding- the
ideals of the country In having every
oai-mmt bear the stamp of "made in
America." Her mind need not concern
itself with any detail of proper costum
ir nthor than to feel assured that
whatever occasion arises, she Is pre
pared to make an appearance in exactly
.the propericartorial surroundings.
Coart Dress 1 eluded la Outfit.
The collection of dresses, suits, hats,
wraps and shoes comprises everything
that a woman of fasnlon wouia neea,
with enough of an assortment of each
to insure her always being well dressed,
whether she has on a sport suit for the
days of ocean travel or Is gowned to
meet the dignitaries of the allied na
tions. As the Presidential party expects to
go to France. Italy and England, it is
more than likely that the rulers of
these nations will entertain the head of
the United States and his family. In
anticipation of being summoned to a
formal court function. Mrs. Wilson will
Include in her European outfit a court
dress, it is said. Miss Margaret Wilson,
who has been in France for some time
in the Y. M. C. A. service, took over an
elaborate collection of dresses. She Is
expected to Join her father and Mrs.
Wilson when they reach Paris.
The decision of President Wilson to
attend tho peace conference at Ver
sailles gave his wife little time In
which to adjust her thoughts to the se
lection of so Important a wardrobe, but
the expert who has it in chargeias
promised to deliver it In ample nine
and Mrs. Wilson's mind is not worried
on that score.
Drraara 5iatple aad Utaewtal Severe.
It goes without saying that the ma
jority of her dresses are simple' and
somewhat severe. For Mrs. Wilson al
ways has a fondness for that which Is
far removed from the fluffy and debu-tante-like.
She is to have a few hand
some and simple, soft velvet dresses
and coats, the usual number of silks,
some of which show the rich orchid
blue and deep red for which she ha
special liking, and there will be black
and white evening dresses covered with
yet or paillettes, which provide a rare
setting for her natural brilliance-
Mrs. Wilson Is taking along several
sets of furs, which she will need while
at sea. and-which will be most neces
sary on the many automobile trips she
and the President will take through
France. England, possibly Belgium and
certainly Italy. Besides these trips.
Mrs. Wilson will ho doubt accompany
Miss Wilson on many sightseeing ex
cursions in Franca and other coun
tries.
For dinners, the theater, receptions
and formal diplomatic or royal gather
ings, the President s wife has selected
to wearover her handsome satin and
velvet evening dresses some exquisite
wraps of brocade and velvet-trimmed
with deep fur collars and cuffs. Her
tailored suits would be almost severe
but for the softness of the wool ma
terials, and none of her one-piece wool
dresses or her afternoon dresses is
made with the undefined waistline, as
this advanced style Is less becoming
to her Junoesque figure than are some
of the more closely fitted models.

"Bolshevism will not come In Ger

the reply.
The temper of Germany is not Bol

Tfre British war sone Is. one dismal

WASHINGTON. Nov. 26. The United
States Government has refused to ap
prove the proposed transfer to a Brit
ish syndicate of the vessels now under
British registry, owned by the Inter
national Mercantile Marine Corpora
tion. Bainbridge Colby, of the Ship
ping Board, said the Government had
offered to take over the ownership of
these vessels upon the terms of the
British offer.
The vessels concerned number ap
proximately 85, with an aggregate ton
nage of 730,000 gross tons, and Include"
the Olympic and many others of famil
iar names.
This formal statement was issued at
the office of the Shipping Board:
"Announcement was made at the Ship
ping Board that the International Mer
cantile Corporation today had been ad
vised of the Government's disinclina
tion to give its approval to the pro
posed transfer to a British syndicate
of the American ownership, which for
years has been vested in. the Interna
tional Mercantile Marine Corporation,
of the latter's vessels under British
registry.
"Bainbridge Colby, of the Shipping
Board, stated that an offer by a British
syndicate to acquire from the Interna
tional Mercantile Marine Corporation
tho tonnage in question had been un
der consideration for some time. It was
conditioned upon its approval by both
the United States and. British govern
ments. The negotiations, he further
stated, had been -carried on by the In
ternational Corporation with entire
frankness so far as the Government
is concerned, and the decision now
reached is due to the reluctance felt
that an ownership which has so long
been held in this country, covering so
important a tonnage, should at this
time and under the conditions now
prevailing in shipping throughout the
world, be allowed to pass out of Amer
ican hands.
"The Government has announced Its
willingness to take over the ownership
of these vessels upon the terms of the
British sffer, which is considered a
fair price for tonnage of this excep
tional character."
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.--Information
reaching the State Department today
indicated that the- refusal of General
Semenoff, anti-Bolshevik commander in
the Trans-Baikal region, to recognize
the dictatorship of Admiral Kolchak,
sent by the all-Russian government at
Omsk, has not created as serious a
situation as was at first feared.
According to latest advices General
Semenoff's forces have dwindled rapidly
sinje last Summer and now are so small
as to be alr.iost negligible. Conse
quently it is believed that Admiral Kol
chak will be able to handle the Semen
off dissension without difficulty and
that the work of rehabilitating Russia,
which has progressed satisfactorily un
der the direction of the all-Russian
government, will be continued.
Semenoffs Force Is Weak.
It was said today that the Chinese
Eastern Railroad, of which General
Semenoff has been in ch rge, can be
kept open by allied troops regardless of
Semenoff's actions. His troops are re
ported now to consist of only a few
natives, some Chinese and also some
Serbians who were etrandtl in Siberia
after the Russian debacle.
VLADIVOSTOK.Nov. ,26. (By the
Associated Press.) The three Cossack
officers on trial at Omsk for having ar
rested two members of the all-Russian
directorate, the arrests precipitating
the change in the all-Russian govern
ment which placed Admiral Kolchak in
the directorship, were acquitted by the
courtmartiaL Its investigation Is al
leged to have shown 'that one of the
members of the directorate who was
arrested had been conspiring with the
Bolshevik organization.
A more or less united opposition on
the part of the Cossacks appears to be
arising against Admiral Kolchak. Six
hundred cases of typhus are reported
at Yekaterinburg and the epidemic is
spreading.
ARCHANGEL, Nov. 26. (By the As
sociated Press.)-Winter has begun in
earnest over the whole North Russian
front. All the rivers are icebound and
the Bolshevist gunboats, which have
long menaced the American and allied
forces on the Dvina, have been forced
to withdraw.
The . Bolshevists, ' however, have
mounted big guns along the front
south of the allied armies.
Bolshevikl Get Reinforcements.
Operations are limited to spasmodic
artillery exchange, but the Bolshevist
forces are receiving heavy reinforce
ments. The freeze up, while bringing
relief on the Dvina front, increases she
danger on others, as the once impass
able swamps are now frozen, making
possible bushwhacking flank, attacks
by the enemy. -

Washington District, known as No. 8,
under control of Captain J. F. Blain, of
Seattle, now in charge of all steel ship
construction in the Northwest, as well
as of wood vessels in Washington, has
raised a storTn of protest among com
mercial bodies and maritime interests
and telegrams in opposition to the move
have been sent to officers- of the
Emergency Fleet Corporation.
la. J. Wentworth, supervisor of wood
ship construction in the Oregon dis
trict, is now in the East, having
reached Philadelphia Monday on busi
ness connected with affairs of the dis
trict, and, numerous ship contracts
aving been suspended a few hours be
fore his arrival, he is devoting his ef
forts to prevent the development of a
chaotic situation here which shipbuild
ers say is certain to follow.
Mr. Wentworth has been in charge
of the work during all of the present
year, and the district is the banner
zone in the United States, having
launched more- hulls than any other,
completed more vessels and generally
done faster work, with fewer of its
ships in trouble, than the others. The
position of being the tail of the Seattle

One hundred representatives of spe

voted to open their shops of evenings
three days before Christmas. A letter
from the State Council of Defense was
read, announcing the removal of the

A petition was signed, which will be
presented tc the City Council, asking
that all signs of a grotesque character
and of poor illumination be removed

tained that objectionable signs mar the

Mrs. M. D. Gillespie, a well-known
beauty specialist of Kansas City, re
cently gave out the following state
ment regarding gray hair:
"Anyone can prepare a simple mix
ture at home, at very little cost, that
will darken gray hair, and make it
soft and glossy. To a half pint of
water add 1 ounce of bay rum, a small
box of Barbo Compound and V. ounce
of glycerine. These Ingredients can be
bought at any drug store at very little
cost, or the druggist A 11 put it up for
you. Apply to the hair twice a week
until the desired shade is obtained.
This will make a gray-haired person
look twenty years younger. This is
not a dye, it does not colo the most
delicate scalp, is not sticky or greasy
and does not rub off."; Adv.
