It can be readily appreciated by those who stop to consider the situa- tion t it is 2 wi ion that is taken in est censorship over the news concerning the opera- tions of the United States forces in Mexico. The forces under General Pershing ve two problems to face. They are sent into Mexico for the purpose of dispo which task is like- Iy to them over much Mexican territo: nd at the same time, inas- much punitive expedition must be distinguished from intervention in that repubiic, they must guard them- selves against on which would make a state of war probable. It is therefore highly important that nothing sl the uld be allowed to disturb ccoperation in twhich this coun- and the Carranza forces are par- pating for the elimination of a common enemy. That this could eas- ily be done by false reports or by the using of certain reports to create en- tirely unjustified impressions by those who would like to involve this coun- try in greater trouble with Mexico, will at once be recognized. It is useless also to put a detective on the train of a band of criminals, outline the plan of operations and give a detailed report of every weil as those contemplated, and pect that the desired results will be obtained. The delicacy of the situa- tion makes it advisable to surround the expedition with as much secrecy move as as, in the opinion of the military au- thorities, is wise, and only by a strict censorship can this be assured, and trouble ¢ um. ng reports be kept to the REOPENING THE CANAL. Good news comes in the report from the war department to the effect that such prozress is being made against the slides in the Panama canal that it will be a matter of but another month before navigation will be re- sumed through that waterway for vessels which require a depth of thirty feet. This does not mean that all the work in ccnnection with the overcom- ing of the obstruction caused by the slides has been done or will have been completed by the middle of April, for it will be necessary to keep the dredges in operation for some time to come and not a small amount of other work will have to be done before it can be assured that the uncertain conditions there are under control, but it is gratifying after having been practically closed for a period of six months that its use will be available then. The s re most unfortunate and came ime when they caused great inconvenience to shipping, but the reopening 1 nevertheless be hailed with delight by those engaged | in trade between the two oceans be- cause of the distance cutting that it will make possible. This with the shortage that exists in commercial vessels is of much importance and it will be surprising if it does not perience, from the very day that navi- gation is permitted, a record break- ing volume of business. That the ca- nal is to be ready next month is un- questionably due to the action that was taken at the start in stopping all navigation and giving free hand to all efforts for removing the obstruc- tion and it is to be hoped that the work has been so thorough that there will be no repetitions. THE FRENCH CABINET CHANGE. Another resignation has taken place in the French cabinet, and again the cause for it is laid to illness. No member of the cabinet in any of the belligerent countries is having a pic- nic and it is not surprising that there are occasional instances where health suffers as the result and it becomes necessary to yield to it, yet at the same time it is a handy excuse which covers rp the real situation and holds the cabinet together. And this ap- pears to be the circumstances under which Gggieni, the French minister of war, hils left that office after five months’ work, Gallieni is a strong man in military affairs and his influence has been felt during tbe time he has been war min- ister. He used a strong hand in knocking out the grip which politics had obtained in that office, yet there was aroused by his methods an op- positon which it was’ irapossible to oversome. He issued many rigid and radical orders, the most of which were undoubtedly needed to cope with the situmtion and pormit France to Ret the-full Yenefit- from its army,-but it unquestionably caused friction and he was not inclined to modify the sit- uation or strike a compromising atti- tude once he felt that he had taken the right position. The result is that France has lost a most faithful cabinet member and one whose services have stood out as prominently during the war as they did during the years when he admin- istered the affairs of Madagascar. What his successor, General Charles Roque, will do remains to be seen but it is evident that he will be closer to the military committees of the French parliament though that may not mean that the interests of France will be any better served GERMANY SHOULD FACTS. Added interest is bound to be at- tached to the inquiry which is being made regarding the loss of the Dutch liner Tubantia in the North sea because of the claim that while some of the offiters of the ship saw no submarine, they did see the torpedo, and conditions are not known to be such that torpedoes can be directed against a vessel in such a locality without the presence of some kind of a war vessel, and the fact that none was in sight leads at once to the con- clusion that it was a submarine which had discreetly kept under water. This is of course not the first ves- sel that has been sent to the hottom in that locality, and it is not the only Holland ship that has suffered from a torpedo, if it is finally decided that it was a torpedo, but it is plainly evi- ent that it was without any justifi- cation whether it was torpedoed or whether it was sunk by a mine which had been so placed, either by subma- rine, if such a thing has been found to be possible, or otherwise, knowing that the chances were that it would be a merchant vessel which would be likely to encounter it instead of a warship. The neutral nations must awalit the outcome of the investigation. They must get the facts as far as they are obtainable, but if the contentions prove true that submarines are en- saging in such practice, contrary to the promises of the German govern- ment, there is ground for making stronger representations to and de- mands of the guilty government than have taken place before. If Germany can prove that its submarines were not guilty it should not hesitate in producing the cold hard facts. It stands in a bad light because of its past acts and the occasional bit of evidence tending to the fact that it is again disregarding its solemn prom- ises. HASTEN AGAINST FREE SUGAR. Though it is made evident that the democrats have been forced to see the wronz course which they adopted in working for and obtaining free su-- gar, which would have been a fact had the provision of the Underwood bill calling for it been permitted to 2o into effect the first of May, they have nevertheless taken the proper course now in repealing it. This means that another democratic theory has gone for naught, that greater attention should have been given to the opposition at the time when free sugar was being so blindly advocated and that it is not improba- ble that there have been other serious mistakes made in the slashing which was carried out in tariff rates by the present administration. The changes in the sugar schedule made by the democrats have been tried out and it has been shown be- fore the free sugar clause became operative that it was goinz to be a mistake to allow it to go into effect. The revenue from sugar has been greatly reduced as it is, and at a time when the country is in need of just such revenue. vyet free sugar 1eans that somewhere about $50,000,- 000 more would be lost if the com- modity was admitted to the country without any tax. It would be impos- sible to make up this loss in any other way except by imposing addi- tional federal taxes, a feature which has alreas played too prominent a part in the policy of tariff for rev- enue only. Now that experience has shown the failacy of the course regarding sugar, for it is believed that the senate will take action similar to that in the house, it is time. that the facts should be looked straizht in the face rela- tive to other schedules of the demo- cratic ta-iff for the benefit of the country and its industries. EDITORIAL NOTES. The reappearance of baseball scores malke it certain that spring cannot be very far off. From the story which tells of it being covered with bodies, it is appar- ent that Dead Man's hill was proper- Iy mamed. There some satisfaction in the realization that this cold weather is putting off the fiy swatting campaign just so much longer. The man on the corner says: Every sunrise may have a thrill this month, but many people are willing to take the other fellow’s word for it. Bulgaria, it is now reported, is get- ting restless, which may be due to what it thinks will follow if it admits that one of its submarines sank the Persia. While it is pointed out that Villa has some United States cavalry horses with him, the bandit leader also knows that there are more on the way. There is a New York woman who will not accept a small fortune be- cause she claims it is tainted, but there are many who would prefer to take it rather than have it fall into innocent hands. ——— If the resignation of Admiral von Tirpitz means the end of the disre- gard for international laws and the rights of humanity on the high seas, it is something for which the world has reason to give thanks. The reports to the effect that a steamship company is to greatly in- crease its freight service to South America indicates that long needed efforts to improve the trade relations between the two continents are at last underway. . B Edison believes that by the stand- ardization of parts a submarine could be built in a week, which might work all right until it became advisable to increase the size of submersibles, when those parts on hand would become Jjust“so much-juni SUGGESTIONS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE. A splendia way to improve the ap- pearance of the cook stove is to take the soap suds after washing clothes, and wash the stove all over with the suds. Then use stove polish as us- ual. The suds can also be used on your sad irons. It helps greatly to- ward making them smooth. Wash materials can be prevented from fading by using ome cup of salt tc a gallon of water. Let it boil and pour it over the goods while hot. Let it stand about 10 minutes and hang cut to dry. Do not rinse. When linen has a stain from long standing, put a teaspoonful of sulphur in a saucer, and a few drops of alco- hol ana ignite. Place a funnel over the flame, point upward; wet the stained linen and hold it over the fun- nel. An excellent floor mop is made by cutting the legs of about a dozen old stockings lengthwise and binding them with a cord to an old worn-out broom, handle just above the straw When ‘the stockings are securely fas ened on, immerse the mop in kerosene oil, and you have a mop to remove all the dust from the floors and the wood- work.

Spice cabinets degree of art days, and if you an up to date hot fe you will not be able to resist the preity spice re- ceptacles which the shops are offer- ing. Small cabinets of porcelain or enameled tin have six or eight or more drawers, all carefully labeled to hold the spices. They remind one of the top “stores” which children stock up well at Christmas time. White china jars decorated with conventional bor- Gers or checks or stripes may be set all in a row on your pantry shelf, and will not be an evesore. They will hold spices of all sorts, coffee, tea, salt thers at home > and five cents sached a high tion these bride to be or and even dry cereals.

In spite of the ecarcity of dyes in this country, or maybe because of the limited dye supply, there are many changes in colors to be noted for spring _apparel. Fashions seem to waver between the pastel or Watteau shades and the brilliant hues inspired by the designs and colorings of Bakst in the Ballet -Russe. Sports clothes, too, are usually bright; golf, or Brit- ish, red and jade or Kelly green be- ing great favorites for sweaters over white skirts or for skirts to be worn with sweaters. Gray is a great spring favorite. It has manw new names and shades, such as mist, dusk and peace or dove gray. Blues there are a many, | and some new faded-out shades to bear out the Watteau prediction. Per- iwinkle and porcelain are new blue shades. Beige, champagne, cham- pigon or mushroom color all tone into the castor shades, which are good for combination purposes. Yellow will be prominent, from mustard to deep flame orange. SCARF FOR COMFORT. The comfort scarf is a knitted wor- sted affair eighteen inches wide and a little over a yard long. The ends are knitted Into a six inch wristband, through which the hands are slipped, and two satin ribbon ties are fastened at each side of the meck to keep the scarf in place. The scarf is ever so much better than capes and shawls, which are always sHpping off or get- ting in the way when one is busy mov ing about, practicing, writing or sit- ting sewing. DICTATES OF FASHION. Real laces, especially point venise, are always in fashion. Never were such rich allover pat- .| terns seen among veilings.

Striped sports coats of knitted silk have narrow borders of fur. Flesh colored tulle is always more becoming than dead white. Volles continue to be more import- ant among sheer white goods. Laces and tulle are most fashion- able for young girls’ party frocks. The Coesack influence shows In many of the new coats for girls and children. Nothing is prettler for evening than gfl“?; and chiffon brocaded with metal motifs. Underwear in vivid tones of cerise, emerald, violet and blue, made of jer- sey cloth, match the stockings of the wearer. TULLE MUCH USED. Great quantities of tulle are being used on evening gowns for trimming purposes, in wisps draperies, scaffs and in one gown a train. A black and gold frock shows a wide piece of tulle caught across the back of the frock and held with jet bracelets to the wrists. Queer freaks are to be seen among some of the latest importa- tions.” A midnight blue taffeta coat is lined with blue serge, reversing the order of things generally. In a rose and black velvet evening coat, where the waist portion is of the lighter shade and the ekirt portion of the oth- lining of satin reverses the y et being lined with black and the black with rose. A Venetian purple evening coat is lined for a depth of eight or nine inches with a flowered and brocaded velvet ribon—another proof of the craze. of as THE GUEST ROOM. There is real pleasure in making the guestroom a 2 mi and as homelike as possible. A writing table prettily arranged with inkstand, blot- ting book and note paper is a great addition to the spare room and one that should always be mar sib! hostesses to provide many little ext comforts for their guests. When the water is hard some sweet scented softener is often to be found on the washstand, and occasionally a bottle of eau de cologne. NEEDLEWORK NOTES. When doing plain sewing try using the little wire paper clips which busi ness men use for holding papers to- ther. Instead of much basting ace some of these little fasteners on ! the seams to hold them until stitched | on the machine. Some women use needle-point steel pins instead of bast- ing threads for holding the seams and be hems of garments. In_this case sure to place the heads of the p toward you when sewing. In this way you can easily jull the pins out of the goods as you sew. By using a warm iron when cut- ting out clothing one can do aw th pins and weights on tissue-pape patterns. Lay the pattern on the material and press it ligshtly with a warm_ iron. The pattern will cling to the cloth. To cut satin without raveling mix a thin flour paste and rub it over the | wrong side of the satin, along the line on which you w! h to cut, and e only the smallest possible amount. Rub off and allow the remainder to dry. Press the right side of the ma terial wtih a warm iron and the mo: intricate pattern may be cut from silk or satin without a single raveling, nor will the material curl up to make it Gifficult to work with. Using colored thread for basting is a zood idea, especially on white or material. Light blue, pink or vou children will be willing to *1p by taking out the basting when they are done in colored thread. Do not use red thread, as it may leave a mark. threads of foundation in cross-sti be removed if the work and pressed. and they drawn. The canvas used embroidery m: more_ quickly and’ ea is first well dampened This softens the threads are less apt to snap when MARABOU TRIMMING. Marabou is a emart trimming and is seen on some charming evening coats and dancing frocks. Among the la ter is a model of corn colored pussy willow taffeta, edged with natural marabou around the wide skirt, the bodice being of pale brown silk net over cream colored chiffon. A shir- red lace hat is banded with marabou above the drooping wired brim, while parasol of brown and gold brocaded silk has also an edge of marabou. STREET COSTUMES. Gros de Londres, a heavier faille silk, is largel used for street costumes, and some exquisite tints are shown in this weave. Among them some of the loveliest are sapphire blue, royal blue, silver gray, citron, royal purple, mole, brown mole. Nubia brown, taupe, mushroom color and mysterious green, a very dark shade with an olive tinge. FINGER MARKS. Furniture has a bad habit of get- ting finger marked. And it is a good thing to know that sweet oil will re- move all signs of them if the furniture is of the varnished variety. But ker- osere is better for furniture which is oiled or waxed. CONCERNING WOMEN. Over 10,000 highly educated women in England have registered for war work. ‘Women shooters are now eligible to complete in the Grand American hand- icap.
