RUSSIA’S NEED
IS FOR ALLIED
INTERVENTION
VLADIVOSTOK, Feb. 14 (Corre
spondence of the Associated Press).—
"The Russian nation follows with a
harsh feeling of bitterness all the ef
forts for creating a league of nations,”
declares Dr. Vaclav Girsa, local mem
ber of the Czech National Council.
“If comprehends with difficulty how
the allied democracies can entertain
this noble but rather distant idea, and
at the same time look quietly on at
what is transpiring in Russia,” con
tinued Dr. Girsa.
“Russia today is in need of assist
ance. First of all she needs reorgan
ization of her railroads. Neverthe
less any form of assistance to Russia
is imaginable only in conjunction with
a military expedition v/hich would be
able to guarantee that the undertak
ing will not be destroyed by pernicious
rebellions and disorders which have
become chronic along the Siberian
railways.
“In order, however, that such mili
tary intervention and economic assist
ance shall succeed, it is necessary to
carry it out according to a clearly de
fined plan, that is to say, the removal
of the Bolshevik government from
Russia, the re-establishment and main
tenance of order and peace througho
out the country up to the time when it
will be pqssible for the Russian people
to constitute for themselves, freely
and without coercion, their desired
form of government. Such allied in
tervention wdll be accepted with exul
tation and vrith full confidence by all,
notwithstanding its even more effi
cient interfering with internal Rus
sian affairs.”
Adherence to the principle of non
interference with Russian internal af
fairs, he said, prevented the allies
from supporting either the Siberian
government or the government of the
Ufa directorate because of lack of
assurance that either constitute a gov-,
ernment having the confidence of the
nation.' Similarly, he pointed out,
neither of these governments, even
with the best programs they could
devise, were able to win the confi
dence of the nation because they
lacked the support of the allies. The
result is a deadlock and a situation
affording fertile ground for new revo
lutions calculated to strengthen Bol
shevism by driving into their ranks
the wavering left-socialism.
GERMANS SPRING HOME
STORY ON FRENCH BOYS
ATLANTA, Ga„ March 24.—A year
ago when the 82nd division was in
training at Camp Gordon here an en
terprising piano company wrote to di
vision headquarters that it had built
a piano of such strength and lightness
that it could be carried into the first
line trenches to help while away the
hours on inactive sectors. Officers at
the camp made facetious remarks
about the instrument, one major
whimsically suggesting organization
of the “30th trench piano battalion.”
A local newspaper published a
humorous account of the incident,
picturing each husky private of the
S2nd goving over the top with a
“trench piano’’ strapped to his back.
Powder puffs, rouge and lip sticks
might be added to the scldier’s knap
s.-ock to make trench life more bear
able, the writer suggested. It caused
many a laugh at the camp.
The 82nd scon went to France and
took part in some of the hardest fight
ing of the war. On August 2, 1918,
Gorman aviators dropped into their
trenches in the Toul sector copies of
the identical story with this solemn
comment attached:
“What are you fighting for, Sammy?
While you are fighting and risking
your life, the folk back home, instead
of hacking you up with their last dol
lar and last drop of blood, are spend
ing their time inventing trench pianos
and lick sticks instead of inventing
submarines and airplanes."
Major Quimby Meltcn of the 82nd,
in a letter to a friend here, says the
men of the 82nd fairly fought for the
German leaflets and had the heartiest
laugh of their overseas career. There
wan nothing to show how a cop7 of
the local paper’s story was trans
mitted to Germany.

NEW DECOLLETAGE IN VOGUE !
_ <
Queen Elizabeth and Queen Anne Are ,
Sponsors for the Neckline Now in (
Favor—Delta Becoming for £
Evening Wear. t
New York.—It Is time to change a J
few things in women’s apparel, asserts
a prominent fashion authority. Worn- ‘
en are leaping from uniforms into 1
medieval gowns of gold, and crystal, 1
and tulle in brilliant colors, and into <
smashing furs and red street apparel.
There are significant changes work- i
ing up from the ground. There is the
new decolletage which was prophesied
in this department weeks ago and
which is coming into view as smart |
women exploit it. Half a dozen new
ways of cutting the neckline have
leaped into existence and a dozen new ,
collars claim the blue ribbon of ex- |
cellence. No matter whether we dress [
differently about the hips and feet, «
we are dressing decidedly differently '•
about the neck and even the wrists.
It is in these significant changes
that the great mass of women are in
terested who do not feel that they cah |
afford entirely new gowns for the mid
season.
The artist who said that all changes ,
in fashions for women consisted in ,
the placement of the bulge, or the ab* i
sence of it, should have added that the J
open spaces in costumes were second ,
In importance. j
Cut to the bone, there Is no doubt (
that he was right. The contour is the j
thing. It is where a garment goes i
in or out that determines its fash- i
ion. Few women there are who are i
brave enough to go against the 1
contour of the hour, even though it
may not suggest the best there is in
their figures.
New Decolletape.
The .change in the neckline is per
haps the most important to the aver- i
ag« woman. She has belief in herself
when it comes to cutting a new kind 1
of neckline. She feels that a good •
pair of scissors may be the medium of
transforming an old gown into a new 1
gown by the simple process of turn
ing an oblong neck into a round one,
a square one, or a U-shaped one.
All history is filled with rapid ,
changes in the neckline, and so far we
have not had anything new. We have
rung the bells of history all over again.
Thnt Is nil.
When Edward II was king of
England the women wore the geor
gette, which wrinkled about the neck
and spread outward over tht chin and
the back of the head. This was intro
duced to fashion a few years ago
through a dancer and her clever de
signer. It Is still worn by women who
go motoring, and they make it of dark
blue crepe or veiling, rather than of
white satin.
When Richard II was king his
French queen brought over the
fashion of the low neck, and so, after
centuries, women dropped the neck
band of the gown from chin to collar
bone.
When Elizabeth was queen of Eng
land the delta decolletage was Invent
ed, and It ran along with another neck
line that exposed all the chest and half '
the shoulders, and then, as if by a j
sudden spasm of prudery, hid the neck
and ears by an immense ruff.
When James I came to the 1
throne of England his queen Intro- 1
duced the very decollete, tight bodice ]
with its immense, flaring collar of
wired lace at the back, and when
Charles I allowed Henriette of .
France to lead the fashions for
his court, there was the low, round
neckline that dipped well downward
in the back and was finished with a '
deep Vandyke collar that extended
over the sleeves.
In the picturesque days of Queen
Anne women introduced the low,
square cut decolletage, guiltless of col
lar, which our women have worn for
two decades; and in the middle of the
eighteenth century, in the Georgian
era, women used a simple decolletage
in a rounded V outlined with a
wrinkled handkerchief as a part of
their street attire.
Running the mind over this slight
summary of historical changes in the
decolletage, it is easy to see that we
have done nothing new; but here is
what we are going to do at the imme
diate moment: Revive the delta of
the Elizabethan times, the deep square
of Queen Anne, with Its tight, high
line at the side of the neck, and the
U-shaped decolletage of the end of
the eighteenth century, with its mod
esty piece of lace.
Return of Lace Collars.
We have gone through a season of
medieval severity in the neckline.
Women have aided nature which made
them ugly or cheated nature which
made them beautiful by going about
without any softening effect at. the
neck, by wearing coat collars of heavy
homespun unrelieved by white, and by
the use of V-shaped lines of heavy vel
veteen and crepe which fashion kept
unadorned.
