indicate a condition of excitement
throughout the western portion of Mic
aragua, Zelaya seems to have assumed
direction of the military operations in
that part of the state and in conSe-
expected advance of the revolutionary
army is looked for. Riots are report
ed at Masaya and Granada, where the
people have collided with the military
forces. American citizens at Granada
are again calling for protection, but SO
far as can be learned the only provfs-
ion so far made for them is the an
nouncement that refugees considering
themselves in danger will be received
on board the American warships in
Corinto harbor.
The marines recently landed from the

the color of one tomato. To his sur

Speed in Battle Ships.

New York World.-The naval race
between Great Britain and Germany
takes a fresh start with the launch
ing the same day of the Neptune at
Portsmouth and the Ersat Oldenburg
at Wilhelmshafen. With these new
ships Germany is now credited with
six Dreadnoughts and Great Britain
with eight, or with eleven if the three
battle ship cruisers represented by
the Infexible, now in this harbor, are
included.
Both nations are spending about
s5000000 year for new construc-
ton, although if the British govern
ment carries out its program or
building eight more Dreadnoughts IL
will have to increase its present out
lay.
The only other nation approaching
them in expenditures for new con-
struction is the United States, but
congress has settled on the policy of
authorizing not more than two new
battle ships a year. The Wyoming
and the Arkansas, for which the con-
tracts have just been let, will be 26,-
O0O-ton ships, or 5000 tons more than
p the Neptune In having deep water
at its large ports the United States is
better off than Great Britain if the
size OF battle ships is to be still in
creased.
Germany has about cached its linn
it unless it expends enormous sums
in deepening channels, charging the
Kiel canal, or establishing new naval
bases.
AS the British navy was the first
with its DreadnOught, it has taken the
lead in speed. 1t is strange cir
cumstance that with the boosted me-
chanical genius of the American peo-
pie and their readiness to accept new
ideas the government could not be
brought to approve the turbine engine
until long after it was in actual use
in British ships of the first class.
The navy department has decided to
use the turbine in the Arkansas and
Wyoming, but they will not be COM
pleted before thirty-two months.

MADE-UP FLOWERS
QUITE THE FAD
iMPART TO coRsAGE OF MLAnv
AN UNMisTAkEABLY CLASSY
TOUCH.
PETALS OF SILK AND FRA.
GRANGE OF THE PosY
INITIATED.

In millinery and other stores a nov
city is offered to Christmas shoppers
IN the way of good-sized artificial
bouquet to be worn anywhere about
the corsage except in the old fashion
at the waist line.
The bouquet" sometimes consists
OF single fiowewr, such as an over
grown rose that is more like a small
cabbage. For this as high as So or
IS may be asked. The petals are of
silk, delicately tinted and beautiful
ly made. Bouquets composed of one
or two orchids, some sprays of lilies
OF the valley and a big cluster of vio-
lets are more desirable These may
cost So. but generally less. A like
price is asked for a large bunch of
Vlolets. The prices are generally rea-
sonable when it is remembered that
these fiowewrs last through the sea-
son and, with the exception of the
roses, look so natural that it would
not be possible to detect the artf-
fic1ality unless you made a close exam
nation. To make the illusion that thew
are real still stronger they are per-
fumed with the delicate odor of the
blossoms they represent.
For evening wear a length of chiffon
is crushed about the neck and to this
the bouquet is fastened near the back,
SO that it rests on the hair and snug
giles In behind the ear. 1t is plainly
visible in the back and partly so on
the sides, but doesn't show much
from the front. Some dressy young
things attach them to muffs.
Another preferred way of wearing
these frivolties is to fasten them
brooch-fashion under the chin. Most
women prefer a style less unusual
where a good-sized bouquet is worn.
A pretty fashion is to wear gardenia
carelessly fastened to ones coat front.
These flowers bought singly, are much
less expensive than the bouquets men
toned.
The flowers are classy in the ex-
IRENE, and dressy women will all
have to have them. Nifty varsity girls
are adopting the dainty splashes of
color to quite an extent, and the artt-
fetal bloom actually is offering the
real flower no mean opposition
