PARTISAN WOMEN WEAR
C0RSETS IN THE SURF
Bathing Suits Follow Closely Slender
and Elongated Directolre
Styles

PARIS, July 2S-Even in the water
the Parisienne asserts her rights as the
queen of coquettes. The bathing cos
tunes worn this summer by smart
Frenchwomen at the seaside follow
present fashions very closely, with the
object OF giving the wearers the slen-
der and elongated or directolre appear

No woman with any respect for her
figure would think of bathing without
a corset, which should be made of stiff
cloth, with flexible quill ribs instead of
whalebone. The corset Is kept In po-
sition by braces passing over the shoul-
ders. Stockings should be of the same
shade as the costume, and high laced
up boots, dyed to match the stockings
and dress, are the very latest style.
The favorite shades for bathing cos
tunes this season are khaki, light and
dark violet peacock blue, and navy
blue, Green must not be worn, as that
color does not stand the action of the
sea water. The most attractive cos
tunes for bathing are those terminal

BERLIN NAVAL EXPERT
LAUDS GERMAN SHIPS
Boasts That Kalser's Fighting Vessels
Are Superior to Those of
Other Nations

BERLIN, July 2S.-Count Reventlow,
the naval expert, commenting on the
official disclosure of the armament and
dimensions of the German Dread
naughts writes:
For the first time we have battle
ships decisiVely superior to our Euro
pean contemporaries. We are con-
Vinced that that superiority can be
maintained provided the admiralty has
discretionary power to determine the
displacement. The German 11-inch
guns are absolutely equal to the British
12-inch. That the length of the Nassau
types 11-inch guns has not been dis
closed means that they ate an entirely
new model. In accuracy and destruct-
i've power the Nassau's guns equal
those of the Dreadnaught and the Bel
lerophon, and are perhaps superior in
rapid-firing ability.
"The light batteries of the British
ships are altogether impracticably
placed and lack any effective protec-
ton. In this respect also Germany has
a decisive superiority. The absence of
official details regarding the armor OF
Nassau ships proves that the German
admiralty thinks that is secret which
foreign powers have not yet penetrated
1t will be we'll If the admiralty con-
tinues to preserve this mystery"
Count Reventlow intimates that the
German admiralty's description of the
speed of the Nassau, as "over 10 knots, y
is not to be taken seriously. The speed
is certain to be much greater.

Building and Police Begin
Investigation

SAN FRANCISCO, July 2S.-A white
girl, years old, who cannot speak
word of English, was taken from
basement opium den in Chinatown To-
day by the police, where she is sup
posed to have been kept for some years
by Chinese couple.
Although apparently not mlstreateu'
the child has rarely seen the sunlight
and evidently was kept in close conflne-
ment in the dingy basement, with only
a half-starved puppy for playmate.
She was discovered by Miss Donaldlhe
Cameron of the Presbyterian chinese
Rescue home, who received her hrst IN
formation through anonymous letters.
The child is a mystery of the chi
nese quarter. Nothing is known about
her history or parents. When ques-
toned through an interpreter she said
she had always had a "Chinese papa
and mamma and uncles and aunts' and
that she had lived with them before
the earquake of 1906 in Oakland and
Sacramento. -,
Tun See and Nah Juy Lin, the Chi
nese couple in whose place she was
found, declared little Nah Hos mother
was a New York woman who married
a Chinese, but died when the child was
young The father, they declared, gave
the little girl to them.
The child has the appearance of
being an italian. Her foster mother
was heartbroken when little Nah Ho
was taken away by the police and
placed in the Presbyterian mission,

SPEED MANIA Is FATAL
TO YOUNG MILLIONAIRE

ST. PETERSBURG, July 2S.-Friends
of M. Vetchenin the young millionaire
son-in-law of Prince Galitzin, who lost
his life by being thrown over bridge
with his automobile when running
eighty-five miles an hour on a poor
road near Moscow, give remarkable
details of the manifestations of his
speed mania.
He attended every speed contest in
Europe that he saw advertised and al
ways purchased a car of the winning
make. He never used railway trains,
but motored from Moscow to Monte
Carlo or st. Petersburg to Paris, al
ways driving his car himself. AL
though he had handsome residences
here and in Moscow, besides country
seats, he lived only in hotels and about
garages. On the eve Of races in which
he was entered he was so nervous that
he could not sleep, and friends had to
pass the night in his room talking to
him.
