2 MADE COMPLAINT ABOUT STREETS Authorities at Camp Colt Ask Gettysburg Burgess to Hasten Repairs to Town's Highways Pa.. July 11—Because formal complaints about the condi tion of the town's streets have been made by the authorities at Camp Colt, promises have been made that stone will be seiit here and that ship ments will be made at once. In the complaint to Burgess Kicholtz, it was stated that the streets of the town wete in such bad condition that the cost of repairs to the army trucks which do all the hauling for the camp is excessive. . The burgess ex plained t r.ie officer that the blame could not all be put on the borough, as the officials have been trying all spring and summer to get stone tar \la and binder to put them in good repair, but without results, and that the government should be credited with part ol the t>:ame. as word had been received from the company that the tarvia and binder were all ready and had been ready for shipment for some time, but up-to-date the gov ernment has failed to order the ma terial released. Shipment of stone will be made at once from the <iuarries of the Bethle hem Steel Company at Blttlnger s. neav here and the work will be gone on with as far as possible. V M. JONES HONORED Nouh M.

Service Will Bo llooverized New York, July 12.—The Ameri can Designers' Association, in con vention at the Hotel Martinique, lias put the official kibosh on "fancy clothes" for men. "No more of this 'in the spring a young man's fancy' stuff," said Har ry Simons, general chairman of the convention. "So lons as this war lasts there's only going to be one man that will be a 'fancy dresser,' and that's the man in the service. Any fancy the designers have lying around loose is going to be corraled and made into a uniform." Addressing the 150 members of the association yesterday afternoon Li. Kirstein, chief of the Clothing Procurement Department of the Quartermaster General, said: "We have been informed that Gen eral Pershing wants more style in the soldiers' uniforms. That's enough for us. If the General wants more style in those coats and' trousers van can rest assured he's going to get it and get it quickly, and It's coin* to represent the efforts of the biggest men in the Designing Asso ciation. General Pershing considers that style in the unform is an aid to the maintaining of morale in the Army. That is one reason he has insisted upon the standing collar on the uniform. "We are working now on a new flare for the coat. We're to find the best sort of seam for array use and whether top or side pockets are most effective. Beau Brummels Only in War •'lf there are going to be any American Beau Brummels they're going to be found in the army." When the designers get finished curtailing waste, the male civilian will find that he has been bereft of his patch pockets and the cuffs on his trousers. His coat tails won't even flap as they used to do. There will not be enough of them to flap. "I suppose these innovati9ns will I make the same kind of hit with the swell dressers' that the revolution made with the Czar." said Mr. Si moiiß. Wo have to aid the govern ment to" conserve material, and theie's no good reason why. In times like these, men should go on dress ing the way they did before the war." 0 The designers have Included all sorts of male attire in their conser vation program. Even the waiters are going to have a new style of suit, so that hereafter guests will be able to distinguish fellow guests from waiters. Waiters Will Ix>ok Pat "The waiter is going to have his coat buttoned up to his neck," said Mr. Simons. "This will have three benefits. He will look like a waiter, the new suit will conserve material and the government will save starch. Waiters will no longer bo dependent on the Orlcntial shirt destroyers." The designers have constructed a coal called the "Hoover." It has three degrees of width —double- breasted, single-breasted and Unit buttoned width. These will be known as the "before dinner width, during dinner width and after dinner width." Wilbert Eckels, Well-Known Farmer, Dies at His Home Mcclianicjiburg, Pa., July 12. WUbert G.

ALBANIA BLOW START OF DRIVE TO AID RUSSIA Foch Is Believed to Rely on Help of Jugo-Slavs; Siber ian Project Is Shelved Washington, July 12.—Thut the great adventure" of an inter-allied expedition across Siberia has been definitely abandoned by General I'oeh and his military advisers as impossible; that lnter-allied mili tary intervention on the Murman coast is, on the other hand, an ac complished fact, to guard the ports of Kola and Archangel, and that the world war is sweeping back across Sei Lia to Serajevo, whence it sprang, notes a c °niplete change of Allied and American policy which are being sounded here by close friends of the administration. AMled military advisers have defi nitely concluded that the eastern front cannot be reconstructed by ac tion alojig the 6,000 miles of rail way leading from Vladivostok. It is a military impossibility, they admit, if not a political and ethical im possibility. Therefore General Foch has turned his eyes toward another avenue of approach. Seek Way Across Albania The Italian offensive across Al bania. reaching toward the half mil lion of Anglo-French troops at Salonica and ultimately up across the newly recognized Czecho-Slav state and through friendly anti- German nations that extend to the Russian border, will be the strategic line of the allies, it Is predicted, for a reconstruction of the southern and eastern fronts. On the Arctic sea Ihe passage of supplies into Russia will be guarded by the co-belligerent I forces.
