SLEEVES
The two important features found In
this little frock are the low or French
waist line and the kmono sleeves. They
mean extreme smartness and, incidentally.
the sleeves also mean simplicity of making.
The circular fiounces Tapped one over the
other are important too, for r " make a
departure. Altogether the fir p is a new
one, demonstrating the latest faneies. In
the picture, it is made of dotted challis
with bands of silk but it quite easily
could be reproduced in any chiidlike
material. for the model is one of the
available sort, desirable for the eimple
silks that little girls are wearing and for
washable materials, as well as for challis

which the full chemisette is arranged and
to which the founces arc attached and
which also serves to keep the long WASTED

TO SAVE
LINER SUNK IN
HARBOR CRASH
Officers of Fruiter Rammed in
Ambrose Channel Say They
Can Take Her Off Sand Bar.

NEW YORK, Oct. 16,-With Cap
tain II. Spencer and the main portion
of her crew on board, the United
Fruit Company steamer Metapan
today lies partly submerged on
sand bar in Ambrose channel scarce
ly 200 yards away from the scene of
her collision yesterday afternoon
with the Hawaiian American line
freight steamer The Iowan, out
bound for San Francisco, by way OF
the Panama canal.
The Metapan sank by the head.
but the forward bulkheads held
against the thrush of water. and
Captain Spencer and officers of the
United Fruit Company today hoped
to be able to take off her cargo, con-
sisting largely of bananas and other
fruit, and possibly close the great
hole below the water aft of her bow
and refloat her.
Had the shoals been another hun
dred yards away, Captain Spencer
declared that the Metapan would
have gone down, with a probable
heavy loss of life among her seventy
seven passengers and crew of ninety
two officers and men.
The Iowan, which carried no pas
sengers, anchored last night at the
entrance to Ambrose channel. She
was only slightly damaged by the
collision.
The Metapan's passengers we're res
cued by vessels in the lower bay,
including steam dredger. the
fishing yacht r. C. Lundy and sew
eral tugs. Two passengers were
picked up by life boats from the
Iowan. All of the passengers and
part of the crew of the Metapan
were landed in New York last night
little the worse for their expert
ence.
The Metapan was inbound from
southern ports, having touched at
Colon, Port of Columbia, Santa
Marta and Kingston. She carried
cargo of 10000 punches of bananas
and 10000 bags of coffee.
The Inflated trip to New York,
which was terminated by the COL
lision, was the first she had made to
this port, under the American flag.
She was one of the first boats 10
change her registry, when the new
shipping bill was passed by Con-
gress.
She was $50 feet long, with a So
foot beam, and with full load drew
20 feet. The United Fruit Company
last night placed q value upon her
of about s750,0O0.

when the trial opens. but those who

in their limousines must take the

In the meantime Mrs. Carman is

intends to take the stand in her own
defense. 1t is said Mrs. Carman's

She asked that she be permitted to

quest was denied. Upon her own tes-
ltimony will rest the supreme effort
for acquittal. Mrs. Carman is not of
the weeping, sympathy seeking sort.

Soup and Sausages Make
Up Kaiser's War Time Diet

CHICAGO, oct. 16.-The Daily News
prints the following from its corre-
spondent at Berlin under date of Sep
TENDER %:
II have heard an anecdote about the
kaiser at general headquarters, which
came from reliable sources and which
has not appeared in the German press
1t is about his diet, which consists OF
a thick soup, piece of sausage and a
piece of bread and butter, although
he may have the best food to be OBJ
tanned. His advisers are impatient
with him for endangering his health,
but to their opportunities he replied
cit is what my soldiers are getting
on the battlefield. 1t is good enough
for me.
One day he heard that his men at
the front were reduced to a piece of
bread and red wine. He cut his diet
accordingly.
