Shortage of Dolls.

The shortages growing out of the war are hitting in some way uperproted - pleben. Even the dolle have not evosped. A menu- | facturer of-dolls-in-New York said recently that he had stopped | manufacturing" 'soldier: · dolls because of the scarcity of cotton khaki cloth. From prevent indi Eshone the little dolls that are now garbed in knitted bathings Boits or little capa and sweatera will have toghenge their reiment, {86" & recommendation has been fmade to manufaturers that the making of dolle garmente be discontinued because of the wool abortage.

M_Womens Blouse's.

Georgette and crepe de chine have become staple fabrics for women's blousse, socording to a great many American manufsofars ers, and flesh and white are mentioned the staple bars, For antama we find a number of Fait shades and Lolber dark colours in:

materiala calling," said one manu- facturer, "and in the spring and eammer months there is always a call for an array of bright colours in quite a few cotton and othar fabrics. But for all year round good sellers, flash or white blousee of Georgette or crepe de ohine lead the field. They are good a all times."

Promotion of Second Lieutenants.

The following Army Courcil instruction was issued recently -- "Substantive promotion of Second Lieutenants. With refer- ence to A O.L 1253 of 1917, by which provision is made for the promotion of second lieutenants toliautenants after 18 months": commissioned service, notifed that in fature in all ossen in which a unit or formation has an establishment of lieutenante: and second lieutenants the term enbalterns' should be used for the combined establishments of these ranks, and no promotion from second lieutenant to lienten- ant should be made except, se borised by A.O.L. 1253 of 1917.” 3

Japanere Army-jaar

From an authoritative Japa: eze source Renter's Agency learns with regard to the reported "de- cision to increase the Japaz SSS. army, that the step in question has no connection with the situation -arising out of the wAZ, So far the proposals have only passed the Army Council Next, the programme will have to be submitted to the Council of Nation- al Defence, and then to Parlia ment, whose decision will be finals The military suthorities are. not, it is stated. in favour of any hasty completion of the pro- gramme, and when the question, was raised & month or so ago it wwe thought that its execution would be spread over a period of nineteen years. The programme, when -completed, implies an increase of, 50 per cent, in the- present standing simy. - Esch- division (st present consisting of two brigades, esoh brigade being composed of two regiments) will. be converted into an army corpe of two divisions, sach division consisting of three regiments, The standing army of Japan would then consist of 126 regi ments, as compared with 84 regimente,
