STRAFFING" WILSON
The finest indoor sport in Germans
just now seems to be strafing Presi
dent Wilson. The schoolroom child
ren are being initiated into this fas
cinating game, and take to it nith
their usual docility and rest. Lately
they have been having patriotic dem
onstrations, in the course of whk
they send telegram to the KaUcr
Chancellor Michaelis and Martha
Von Hindenburg, condemning o-ir
President for trying to meddle in
Germany's internal affairs, and pledg
ing their support to the cvernrrent
Similar demonstrations have been
held by mercantile associations a,n!
other bodies of adults There has
been a flood of resolutions, all of
which insist that the German people
are content with their political con
dition and will allow nothing to conic
between them and their Kaiser. They
urge the Reichstag not to yield to
the demand for more democracy.
All this, of course, is carefully ;:a
ed. The resolutions are nearly all
drafted on the same model. There
it just as fine team work as thne
was in America while the Prussian
propaganda was in full blast here.
But back of this play-acting there
must be considerable political fer
ment. We'd give a good deal la
know what is really going on ir. the
minds of the German people. We
can't help believing, in spite of ap
pearances, that a time will come when
they'll start strafing Wilhelm instead
of Wilson.
WAR SHORTENS DRESSES
OF FRENCH FASHIONABLES
PARIS. Sept. 5. (By Mail) War
restrictions invariably aroute protests,
but the one limiting woolen material
for women's dresses to four and a
half metres (about five yards) has
been accepted without a murmur
even with alacrity. This measure was
readily accepted by the dressmaker-'
yndicate when the government point
ed out itt advisability.
The tendency of fashions had been
towardt even ampler proportions of
tkirtt. Since the war skirts under
went a shortening process. The ques
tion was whether the fashion of am
ple tkirts thould continue and the
quality of the material deteriorate, or
whether a radical change of style be
introduced. The dressmakers' syndi
cate preferred the latter alternative,
explaining to there clients that it is
essential for the prestige oi French
fashion that no concession be made
to the quality of the material for
tailor made clothes in order to pre
serve the impeccable line which is so
essential.
One of the chief considerations, so
the leading Paris tailors declare, is
American customers, which would fall
off if it were found that Paris clothes
were of inferior material.
The restriction only applies to ma
terials containing wool, so that for
dressing gowns and indoor dresses
of non-woolen materials, those wh'
prefer flowing lines and full skirts
will be able to indulge their fancy at
before.
At striking contrast to the severe
and simple tailor made, which will
prevail in outdoor places, will be the
exotic toilettet which several of the
big firmt are about to launch for eve
ning wear, some of which are direct
copiet of Chinese models.

DRAFTING OF YOUTHS
OF 19 AND 20 URGED
By George Martin, United Press Staff
Correspondent
WASHINGTON. Sent. 26 The
Army League, claiming to be backed
b ythe War Department Genei.il Stall
today advocated immediate .uneiid
inent oi the selective draft law to
include youths ol N and JO.
Among the officers ot this organ
ization are Joseph 1 eiter. president,
ex-president Tan, !oiiot.ir riOO-prea
ident; Perry Belmont. Dr. William T,
Hornaday. Or. Benjamin Ide Wheeler,
v ice-presidents, and Clark Howell.
George W. C. Prexel, Thomas Nelson
Page. Col George Tmesdcll and Gen
John A. Johnston, members ot the
executive council.
The league says the Genet al Stall
thinks thetc boys are needed and
should be conscripted and put in
training at once to insure triumphal
closing of the European war.
Asserting that youths of t':is age
have played vitally important parts
in previout wars, the league quotes
L.eut.-Gen. S M B. Young's state
ment, gleaned irom the records of the
war department as to ages oi soldier -in
the Civil War. These are:
Boys under ten years of ae. 25.
11 or under, 3S: 12. 225; 13. JO0; 14.
1 523: 15. 104.S5&-: o. 231.051. 17, S44.
091: 18, 1.151.438: 21. 2.15'JJ'sW. 22 and
01 er. 46.626.
"To keep dow n the expenses of con
ducting the war." said the league's
statement, "the government should
a oid as far as possible the calling of
men with dependents Bncn at great
er cost it is doubtful whether as many
men can be secured between the ages
of 21 and 31 as will be available be
tween 19 and 21.
"The amendment could be so frain-'
ed that the men called out under it
would not be placed in active military
tervice until they have reached the
age of 21"
