HMDS PRICE ~ LEVEL SINKING Reaction From High Costs Established in War Has Set in. Z'M says Federal Board. BEDS •MENACE TOILS. Gapt. Harzfeld Says Fight Them ^ ^ Now Qr Face WorseWar *5 FOOD AND CLOTHING CHEAPER SAYS BOLSHEVISM JPiHS Continue*' at *tktrew>ely High Level," and Confidence of Satisfactory Solution of Wage and Price Problems Is Reported. Washington, Sept. 8.--Reaction from* the high price level established during the war has set In, says the federal reserve board's review of business conditions in August. Not only are some foodstuffs declining in cost to the consumer, but the price of wearing apparel, such as textiles and shoes, also has been affected, the review says. Business continues at an "extremely high level," and confidence of a satisfactory solution of the wage and price problems was reported from all sections of the country. "During August, factors which had not hitherto arrested much attention exercised great influence on the business situation," the board's statement said. "Reference is made, of course, to the problem of commodity prices. In particular those going to make up the cost of living, and to the consequent condition of labor unrest. "Whereas previously emphasis had been placed upon the great activity displayed by business, the problem of price readjustment and the difficulties connected with it now bulk largest. Discussion in connection with this readjustment Is particularly centered upon the problem of the relation of wages and prices. "A movement toward lower prices appears to be In progress In certain directions, prices of certain foodstuffs are declining, as a feeling of conservatism is noticeable In certain lines, such as the textile and shoe Industries, in which price advances had previously been most marked, 'resales' at some concession In price being reported. "Reports from the federal reserve agents generally Indicate a feeling of confidence that a satisfactory solution of the price and wage problems will be reported. The actual volume of business transacted continues at an extremely high level for the present season of the year, although transportation difficulties and shortage of labor have been hampering factors In certain lines. "The agricultural outlook on the whole is distinctly less favorable than a month ago, although the large acreage sown In certain cases will compensate for decreased yield per acre. Cotton In particular is iu poor condition. "Reflecting the feeling of uncertain ty which prevails, the volume of spec ulation has abated, and declines in the price of securities have occurred. The general business situation, however, Is at bottom strong.1 Discussing labor conditions, the board recorded that reports from the majority of districts designate the sit uatlon as "unsettled." In certain districts a decreasing efficiency of labor is remarked, which Is ascribed to relaxation from war-time pressure for maximum production. At the same time additional demands made by the workers have been grant ed, in large part due to the general shortage of labor which exists in many sections. DENIES COAL MEN'S CLAIM Hines Declares Operators Will Blame AqmIs for High Prices for Fuel. Washington. Sept. 5.--Warning that from now until the end of the yeai4 coal operators will lay stress on transportation difficulties to explain Increased coal prices was given the senate coal investigation committee by Walker D. Hines, director general of railroads. "These difficulties will be kept l>efore the public, exploited, and perhaps expanded," Mr. Hines said, "in an effort to Justify raising prices to as high a point as the public will stand and for which It should not stand." Appearing before the committee to reply to the operators' charges that a car shortage was the main factor In bringing about a "diminished supply of coal and, consequently a tendency to high prices^Mr. Hines declared his belief that . the railroads would be able to move all the coal necessary. The director general suggested that the ' government retain enough of Its "war power" to enable It to control coal prices until normal conditions are completely restored. "This Is a war emergency, after all," •aid he. Major Crossthwaite Is Killed. Cleveland, O., Sept. 9.--Maj. J. L.

' Washington, Sept. 9.--Intervention In Russia to crush bolshevlsni and to establish a government representative of the Russian people is the duty of the United States, according to Capt. Jacob A. Harzfeld of Kansas City. Ho has been at the army war college since his return from Archangel a few months ago, but was released from that service last week. "The United States must understand that the bolshevlsts are making war on this country," Captain Harzfeld asserted, "at this minute, as much as If they had battleships at our ports and armed forces on our sores. "Within two years it will take an army of millions to accomplish what a small force could do now. "If we continue to let things slide we only postpone' the day of fighting a far more terrible battle for our Institutions and our homes." Captain Harzfeld, who assisted lu exchanging prisoners, was in the heart of bolshevist Russia as late as last May. He told of bolshevist efforts to break the morale of Americans, British and French soldiers. "Bolshevism is growing," Captain Harzfeld commented, as he showed a "Red" leaflet circulated among the American troops. It said in part: "Dare to be free. Cease to be the slaves of capitalists, landlords, lawyers and generals. Make a clean sweep of the whole accursed lot. "Do as we have done. Seise the whole machinery of state; form your sovlets of workers and soldiers' delegates, seize the mines, railways, mills, works, factories, banks, all means of production, exchange and of distribution. Run them in your own interest, and not in the Interest of your own exploiters. Take away the land from the landlords and restore It to the nation. "Take away the printing offices from the bandits of the press and use It for the enlightenment of the people. Proclaim that labor rules the world and that those who do not work shall not eat. Get out of the wretched, miserable slums in which your exploiters have kept you for ages, and take up your abode In the houses of $ie iH< li built by the sweat of labor. "Do It now. "Stick to your arms and reme ber that you are millions and tl your exploiters nre a few. "The workers, soldiers and poor in every country are rising. Your example will carry still further the revolution on the path of complete victory over all Its enemies. "They will tell you that there Is no need for a revolution in such countries as England and the United States; that If you wish to establish socialism you can do so In an 'orderly and legal' manner by voting at the elections. Fiddlesticks. "If necessary, they will disfranchise you. "Bring down the whole rotten edifice of the capitalistic state with the shattering blow of your arms."

Dressmaker^ d • _ SOME GIVE PANNIER EFFECT It m Startling Novelties, It Is Sure, Will Figure in the Gowns for Autumn, but Long-Walsted Bodice Will Be Retained^ The most striking feature of the autumn suits and gowns Is the Increasing fullness at the top of the skirts. The ways In which the great French dressmakers achieve this fullness are interesting. One point on which most of them agree is that the fullness must be massed across (he hips, leaving both front and back perfectly flat. Bulloz. however, has departed from this by introducing fullness across the front of his new skirts, thereby differing from the other designers. He makes one skirt with a full front panel gathered across the top. A little above the knee this panel has Its fullness joined to a shaped flounce cat so that the greatest fullness of the flounce Is at the edge where it Joins the panel. An Instance in which Bullox, like the other designers, placed the fullness at the sides appears in a skirt which has winglike pockets to give the effect of panniers. This Is decidedly new and unusual on a suit skirt. The jacket which accompanies It flares from the waist, giving such fullness about the lilps that It approaches the point of clumsiness. But although both skirt and coat are so very full at the hips the skirt still remains narrow at the hem. Mme. Jenny does something novel In the way of achieving hip fullness by making a skirt of very slim outline and applying to it rolled plaits which stand out over the hips. To make them even more pronounced she pr.ds these rolls, which swing loose from the belt nnd disappear gradually Wtitfrn Newspaper Union BROWN VELVET HAT. A brown velvet hat flecked with small loops of henna chenille. into the narrowing fallndtt of the skirt lower down. The chemise dress, which has held the center of the fashion stage for so long, was originally launched by Jenny. She still makes chemise dresses, which have been her favorites for the last three years, but she does something which fits them to hold their own among the wider hip models. Now Jenny's chemise dresses have wide panels hung at the sides FOR AFTERNOON WEAR. Dress of cream georgette over flesh crepe de chine. Lace and delicately tinted ribbons make this charming. and turned up in a way that gives the effect of a bunching hip basque. She also pats bulging pockets on the skirts of her tailored suits and lines these pockets with satin, arranging them to look as If they were turned inside out Side Gore Trimmings. Bernard's method of adding width nnd attaining the full effect In the skirts of tailored suits la by side gore trimmings which take the form of ruffled pocket flaps standing away from the figure. This is not an entirely new idea, for these outstanding pockets have been used on the front of skirts, but this creator gives them further elaboration by the ruffled flap. The coats which accompany skirts of this sort are three-quarter length and cut flaring with the fullness falling over the hips. On these coats are placed fringed pocket flaps and sometimes dangling button trimming. Paris dressmakers are vying with one another in introducing startling novelties that nre just now having their first showing. A craze of the moment is the frock from Premet shown at the extreme right. Jade green satin is the material used for it and the embroidery is of jade and silver. Premet,. In this model, obtains the breadth across the hips by placing double frills of silver lace down the sides of the skirt, bordering a tabller panel; thus creating an entirely new silhouette. The satin bodice is snugly molded to the figure and a sash of the satin placed about the waist disappears beneath the panel at. the front. Latest Hip Flare. The fluted or plaited twnlc f* other method of producing the fashionable hip flare now so characteristic of the newest frocks. Taffeta is frequently used for models of this sort. The long-walsted bodice appears In almost all of these models. A black taffeta day gown featuring such a todice and the fluted tunic Is sketched today. The half low neck is round in outline nnd embroidered with claret colored bugle heads. The sash, which Is really a continuation of the long bodice, has its ends fringed with deep red bugles. Dance Frock Comes from Paris Evening dresses still have very little In the way of bodices. Black satin skirts topped only by bright colored sashes produce some of the new dance frocks. From the house of Brandt In Paris comes such a dance frock. It Is simply a black satin skirt attached to a sash. The long, slender train Is made of ribbon. A vivid bit of color Is introduced by having the sash corsage and train of orchldee pink satin ribbon. The ribbon used for the train Is very much narrower than that which forms the sash bodice. The shoulder straps are of jet beads. Slippers of orchldee satin with stockings to match are worn with this frock. Autumn hats are neither large nor small but of medium size. The Chinese note is conspicuous in them, bright Chinese silk embroideries being used to form round crowns which are completed by small uprolllng brims of fur. Hint From Russia. It Is some time since Russia has been looked to as a source of fashion, but that designers are turning their thoughts toward that country la evinced by a high draped Russian turban formed of gray felt and trimmed at the front with full sprays of fancy gray feathers. Still another hat showing Russian Influence has a small crown with an upturned brim curved high in front. Softly draped satin forms both the crown and brim which are embroidered In heavy threads of blue silk. To correspond with the flaring hip frills of frocks, many of which have wider edges, are bell shaped hats having as their trimming wired ruffles of taffeta which cross the t«p of the crown. y. Vogue for Yeilew. Pale yellow is exceedingly dear to Dame Fashion these days. There are cunning little frocks of yellow batiste for kiddies and gauzy dance frocks of yellow georgette and tulle for debutantes. Wr^ps of dark sutin are lined with mals and other yellow shades, and yellow , silk stockings are the dernier cri with spring pumps. WITH EYE TO DOUBLE DUTY Frock Eminently Suitable for Present Wear Might Also Be Available Next Summer. Occasionally one sees a very good looking frock which with 41 few alterations could perhaps be worn next summer. Take for Instance, a draped model in net. Such a frock could, with Its full draperies easily have its skirt widened a bit should the wider skirts appear, as has been predicted. A frock of embroidered net Is a fairly good example. At the left side the skirt laps over widely and Is caught np In draped effect. The width in these draperies let out would provide material for a much wider skirt. To return to the subject of the new frock of silk for deml-season wear, many of these models are made upon the lines familiar during the late spring and summer. There are tunic skirts and skirts made with panels and basque models nnd what not. Many have accordion plaited tunic or skirts of accordion plaiting with basque bodices with sash tied «t the back In loops, or looped over and falling down the back of the skirt in panel effect A frock of taupe satin had an accordion tunic of georgette. The satin forms the bodice and upper part of the tunic. Attached to the lower part of the shaped peplum tunic is a deep flounce of accordion-plaited georgette crepe, falling ever an underskirt of the satin. There are cuffs of white orgsindie and a double collar of the organdie tied at the center with a colored cravat. Silk jersey costqmes in both light or somber tones figure largely in the summer wardrobe, and are fashioned in every conceivable style from the severe tailored suit to the semi-dressy frock. 0A one-piece frock of light gray silk jersey is trimmed with braid and girdled at the normal waist line by a satin scarf of the same tone. ?
