strongly fortified Hill 288 on tho
Kreimhild Stellung line and un
ceasingly pressed Its advantage until
it had captured the Tullerlo farm and
tho Bols do Catlllon, thus placing It
self at least a kilometer beyond tho
enemy's strong line of resistance.
"During this advance the enemy
fought with unusual determination,
with a first-class division, and In
many cases resorted to hand-to-hand
lighting when our troops approached
lils rear. The conduct of this bri
gade hus reflected honor upon tho
division tho army and the states
from which the regiments came."
Of the Seventy-seventh brigade tho
general order says:
"This brlgado has remained con
tinuously in action since tho entrance
of the division into line and by self
sacrificing devotion to duty and high
skill of Its ollicers and men It has
contributed greatly to tho success
of all operations."

ish submarines nro reported to havo

tion. A British fleet Is near the Skag
erak ready to proceed to Kiel.

Copenhagen, Nov. 30. Tho republic
of Bavaria has broken diplomatic re
lations with Berlin "because of the
continuation of the deceit of the peo
ple by tho Berlin government."
The break has been threatening for
days. At tho federal conference In
Berlin early this week Kurt Eisner,
Bavarian president, openly foreshad
owed It. Ho demanded the Immedlnto
ousting of Dr. Mathlas Erzberger and
Dr. W. S. Solf, whom he accused of
trying to continue Prussian Imperial
istic policies.
At a soviet meeting at Berlin Minis
ter Barth declared tho counter-revolutionary
movement wns In full swing.
Several generals, he said, had Issued
proclamations in an attempt to dis
solve tho Soviets.
Bavaria now looms as the successor
to Prussia as tho dominant power In
Germany. She Is assured of tho sup
port of virtually all tho new German
Austrian republic. Tho attitude of the
northern states Is obscure. Prussia,
where tho,sovlcts nre most Influential,
Is threatened with complete Isolation.
Tho Vienna government has offi
cially announced Its Intention to
bring to trial all statesmen and gen
erals responsible for the war, "re
gardless of rank." The Bavarian gov
ernment demands the same thing In
Germany.

law, the treasury now believes, Is for
congress to rush tho bill to completion
within two weeks. Most house and
senate leaders do not believe this pos
sible. SAVES MOONEY FROM HANGING

GERMANY MUST PAY
KAISER SHOULD BE MADE EXAM
PLE, SAYS LLOYD GEORGE.
Enemy Will Have to Settle to Limit of
Her Capacity for Devasta
tion of War.
London, Dec. 2. Germany must
pay a war Indemnity up to her capac
ity, Premlgr Lloyd George announced
In an address at Newcastle-on-Tyne.
At the same time Mr. Lloyd George de
clared there would be a "sternly Just
pence."
As to indemnities, the prime minis
ter said: "Tho principle always !ms
been that tho loser must pny. That Is
tho principle wo should now proceed
upon regardlug Germany. She must
pay the cost up to her capacity."
Tho premier Indicated that ho favors
punishment for tho kaiser when ho
said:
."Wo should so act now that men In
the future, when they are tempted to
follow the example of the German rul
ers, would know what Is awaiting them
In the end."
When tho premier referred to the
"responsibility for the war," ho was
Interrupted by cries of: "The kaiser,
tho kaiser," and when he referred to
tho violations of International law
thero were shouts of: "Hang tho kai
ser 1 Shoot him!" followed by cheers.
Mr. Lloyd George continued : "Is no
body to bo punished for the crimes of
tho war? I mean to seo that the men
who mistreated our prisoners shall be
mndo responsible. But I do not want
when the war Is over to pursue any
policy of vengeance."
Tho premier dcclnred that tho Ger
man sumbarlno pirates must receivo
punishment for their crimes, adding:
"As to the culpability of the authors
of tho war, we mean to make an In
vestigation, and It will be conducted
In n manner perfectly fair, but stern.
It will go to the final reckoning, too.
"Whoever devastated the- lands of
another ought to bo responsible. If
nouo Is made responsible for the war
which has taken tho lives of millions,
thero Is ono Justice for tho poor anil
wretched criminal and another tfor
kings and emperors."
"In every court of Justice In the
world." Mr. Lloyd George went on,
"tho party that has lost bears the cost
of tho litigation. This Is equally true
between nations. Even Germany,
When she defeated France, established
that principle. There Is no doubt that
the principle Is a right one. Proceed
ing upon this principle Germany must
pay tho cost of tho war to the limit of
her capacity and I must now utter
warning that wo have to consider the
question of her capacity."

A Victory
Even before newt. if Ihe signing of
the armistice set the hearts of the
world to rejoicing, apparel began to
rolled the cheerful mood of a public
certain of victory. Among other
things optimism showed Itself first In
more picturesque and colorful mil
linery, more formal evening dress and
In dinner and house gowns of splen
didly colored oriental silks. The
signs point to reaction from things
quiet and sedate to things lively and
bright In the matter of clothes. Soon
we shall seo how tho colonies of fash
humbles at southern resorts express
themseUes In clothes.
When It comes to negilgeesthre
are no two minds. They aro the love
liest of garments anil only worn for
the eyes of those privileged to enjoy
them within the walls of home. War
or no war, women consider themselves
entitled to these lovely fineries dur
ing tin strenuous nines Just passing.
Wo may he sure their home-returning
heroes will find them gloriously ar
rayed, and negligees will be as lovely
as they know how to make them.
A beautiful (and perhaps a bit ex
travagant) example of the negligee Is
pictured above. It Is a superb Inter
pretation In lace, over soft pink satin
slip, of dress for tho eyes of Intimates.
It Is made of lnco flouncing showing
a .-enalssance pattern on a flue net
background. Two llounces form the
lure, it Is pretty and Inexpensive ns
furs gr and nicely suited to the little
firl of eleven or so who Is so well
pleased with It. These fur sets ,mnko
Ideal Christmas gifts. Most of them
are made of Inexpensive pelts of small
animals that are plentiful enough. But
among tho furs suited to children nro
ermine, beaver and squirrel -the last a
great favorite but these In garments,
are less popular than Inexpensive furs,
even with people who need not consid
er price. On little coals It Is not un-(
usual to find small collars and cuffs of
Hudson seal.
Use of Lace.
The French models, some of them,
show lace. This Is an Interesting an
nouncement Just now. For ono thing,
wo haven't, used lace for a good many
years, excepting a bit of filet or ynl
enclennes In our lingerie blouses.
There were a few black laco evening
frocks a few seasons ago, but on tho
whole laco has not been In high fash
Ion for a long time. Another Interest
ing phase of this lace question Is this Si
Lace Is scarce. At least, with tho laco1
workers of Belgium out of the market,,
and with tho lace workers of European
countries presumably engaged In va
rious other Industries, It Is dlflicult)
to seo how much now laco can bo pro
duced. For lace making takes time.
Negligee
i skirl portion, one of them having a
! quilling of pink satin ribbon about !L
There Is a draped border of the lace
gathered on the shoulders and opening
at the front over a "V," revealing
georgette crepe In folds over tho satin
underbody. And thero are long
"angel" sleeves and a girdle mado of
folds of link ribbon. A corsago of
small link silk buds Is the final and al
luring touch tucked In the girdle.
The same kind of buds, with rib
bon quilling, convert two llounces of
lace Into a boudoir cap that Is equal
to the demands of tho negligee. Tho
plhk b'utln slippers are laced with rib
bon over the Instep and ankle and
with the help of silk hose to match,
they play a part up to tho standard
set by the rest of the toilet.
