The Hague.-tCcTres pondence of the
Associated Press.)-It is because the
German Zeppelin aircraft seldom. if
ever, undertake extensive operations
unless favorable weather conditions
are promised, that the French military
authorities issued their recent order
fCrbidding the publication Of weather
forecasts. Able MoreuX, director of
the weather bureau, has explained
how the cutting of of these reports
will affect German calculations. He
says that the order is no mere whim
Of the French censor, but is designed
to bear vitality upon the much-feared
Zeppelin raid on England.
1T is clear" the able states, that
the desperate efforts of the Germans
TO reach the French coast between
Dunkirk and Calais are prompted by
their intention to attack England with
Zeppelins. A dirigible balloon from
could go the distance of $50
kilometers (about $50 miles, to Lon
don, lombard the city and return to
its base in less than 10 hours Such
a trip, however, would have to be
made under very favorable weather
conditions"
Able MoreuX explains that in order
TO work Olt their weather predictions
the Germans would require about 60
reports, which in normal times appear
at a certain hour in the principal Eur
cpean cities. The most important
weather stations are along the chan
mel coasts, so that if France and Eng ,
land send no reports, the others are
valueless. So, he con
cludes, the Germans will be unable to |
make their calculations and will have to !
run the risk of their huge Zeppelins !
being wrecked by a sudden storm !
along the channel if they undertake a |
aid on England.

taken from her, and she decided that
her fifth should be brought up as her
own, in order that it might have
scope to develop personality and
power under her own guidance.
The countess, it seems, was born
in Normandy in 1882 The emperor
she says, was about to undertake the
journey to Switzerland to meet her
mother in order to complete the ar
rangements for her public acknowl-
edgement when the empress met her
death at the hand of the assassin
Luceeni. She attributes the subse-
quent refusal of recognition to Court
influences in general, and more par
ticularly, to Papal pressure brought
to bear upon an aged man.
Only year ago, according to her
statement, whilst in Vienna striving
to secure recognition of her claim,
she was offered one million marks if
she would promise to relinquish that
claim. The sum, she says, was indig-
nantly refused.
AT every turn she declares the
power of the court has hampered the
presentation of her case, prohibited
the attendance of witnesses in sup
port of her claim, and barred all
access to those proofs of the birth in
Normandy, which might establish I;
beyond doubt.
AS confidante Of the empress the
countess has some striking revela-
tions of historical interest to offer to
the world.
II want to tell you," she remarked
"that the most entire freedom exist
ed between my mother and myself.
She explained to me many things that
can only characteries as carefully
guarded court secrets. Take, for in
stance, the heart beaking tragedy
that resulted in the death of King
Ludwig II of Bavaria. She told me
the story in all detail as it was told
her hardly an hour after the event
by one who was there.
Without divulging too much of the
circumstances. may say z that in
pathos and in reality the story diff
fers entirely from the popular belief.

FEMININE FASHIONS.

New York, Aug. 13.-Rumors are
flying almost as thick and fast in the
world of fashions as from the various
seats of war. The censor as issued
no decree against the sending out OF
fashion reports; perhaps it would be
vel if he did if there is to be any
great change in the modes when the
styles for fall have been definitely
decided.
Many American women returning
from abroad were so glad to get
home that they did not wait to have
their new frocks delivered. Yet they
bring wonderful tales of revolution
in styles. 1t is said that if the Euro
pean conflict continues for any
length of time, all the modes will
have military air. Even now &C
cessories are showing the Influence
OF such changes.
Until something definite is known
however, American women of fashion
at least will continue to follow the
lead that has been by the Russian
tunic and basque of 1880 Oh one hand
and the Paquin skirt and long. semi
fitting coat on the other There is to
be a greater war for supremacy OF
y coat models. OF this there is not
the slightest doubt. The little coatee
with it's wide possibilities for variety
seems to have come to stay. The
long, smei-fitting model of more mas
culine outline is CAST gaining friends.
So there is the puzzling situation for
the well-dressed woman to decide.
MANY stunning models in tailor
m Mes are found in the showrooms
of he best dressmakers. A porticu-
Larry pleasing design is in trqolse
morte. an exquisite tone of dull blue.
1t is trimmed with large buttons of

tight, curving Out at the hem in the
style of modern riding coat Coats
of this lyle belonged to the Dlrec-
torie period to very large extent,
and yet they are not pure Directoire.
They are, in outline, little like the
graceful polonaises which used to be
worn by our grandmothers.
Little by little the fashionable dress
makers sem to be setting the loose,

quiently to defined curve of bust,
waist and hips. At the present NOM
ent very many of the best models

pared for it.
The millinery that comes from Paris
is interesting. The black velvet hat
hangs in the balance. Some partlc-
ularly trying models have appeared
at our fashionable resorts and also
on the city STREETS; some have arous-
ed great admidation. while others
have brought forth downright ridicule

BATTLE IN AIR;
D ARE KILLED
French Aviator Perrin De-
stroys German Dirigible,
Escaping Unhurt.

Paris, Aug. 15.-A1 American
family residing in Paris for many
years has just received letter from
a son, who is a lieutenant in one of
the crack Partisan regiments at the
front. He details battle IN midair
between Perrin, the noted French
aviator, and big Zeppelin dirigi-
BILE near the village of Chatueu.
Scouts reported a dirlg1ble ap-
preaching in the distance flying low
and evidently carefully reconnoiter-
ing the country. The colonel COM
handing the regiment at once ord
cred Perrin to seek and destroy the
balloon. AS Perrin hurridly donned
his air clothes and started to ascend
he laughed and jOked with the crowd
of soldiers who crowded about the
monoplaIe as it was being turned up
by the mechanicians As he rose he
shouted out: watch me pepper the
gas bags
In few moments Perrin was high
in the air, and at once seemed to
catch sight of the Zeppelin, which
now had come in view over the regi-
ment Darling like a hawk at the
big air craft, he circled high over it.
and in an instant it seemed there
could be seen first spark then a
cloud of smoke at the top and near
the center Of the gas bag, and then.
the whole thing seemed to burst in
fragrants, which fluttered to the
earth. Not one of the nineteen men
in the balloon lived. Perrin was
loudly cheered as he flew back to his
regiment.

decorative and they can be worn with
almost any dress. They look equally
we'll with a tailored suit or with a
dresy costums. The canotier, or
broad brimmed sailor, is certainly
one OF the military modes that is as
sured of ornament place in the
fashion world for the next four
months at least. : 1t is adapted to
various forms of development and
this saves it from being monoton-
Gus.
Sinai hats also are all the rage.
A particularly chic model is bowl
shaped, covered with shot tafeta
which shows CLEANS of green and
blue with various grasse cleverly
arranged at trimming. These close
fitting shapes are worn far down on
the head and hide the hair almost
completely. Many exquisite models
are in velvet and satin trimmed only
with an immense white satin rose,
with leaves of the same material.
There are so many new things IN
the models that one requires almost
an index system to KEEP up with
them al. OF especial interest just
now are the fabric trimmed with
net, to be used for afternoon and ev-
ening gowns. The cariety of the pat
terms outlined with jet is wonderful.
Green key designs are beautiful when
reproduced with jets in the border
ings of the transparencies used for
the tunics and over-dreses of demi-
toilettes as we'll as evening gowns.
Moire effects are skillfully carried out
in hair-lines in beads. are now and
again .punctuacted with larger jets
on nets and tulles; these weighed
gauzes over satins and silks are
among the most effective materials
now in use.
Jetted Fabrics of gauzy weave are
not nearly SO fragile as their texture
suggests. Indeed. the number Of
times that gown vieled or draped
with jetted net can be worn is sur
prising. Material thus treated
does not wrinkle because it is held
in place by the weight of the beads.
The chief difficulty is to arrange the
fabric so that its lower edge will not
crease while the wearer of the gown
is seated.
Stunning among the jewelry nov
elites are the necklaces in ovals of
jet, alternating with three fine beads.
They support pendant consisting
of a jet disk swinging above pear
shaped PEARL the two thanked by
shorter chains ending with pear
shped jets.
Bracelets of Jet and belts finished
with large buckles of Jet are also
among the latest novelties.

AUTHOR rs HAPSBURG
She Will Explain How and Why Her
Royal Mother Decided to Bring Her
Up in Human Way, Out Of Reach
Of Court Intrigue.

London, Aug. ia new chapter in
the cheequered history OF the house
of Hapsburg will he given to the
world in the course of the next few
weeks in the form of work entitled
'The Secret of an Empress. The
authoress, the Countess Zanardi
Landi, claims to be the unacknowleg-
ed daughter of the Empress Elizabeth
of Austria, and in her book to be pub
lished shortly, she explains how and
why her Royal mother decided to
bring her up in human way, out of
the reach of Court intrigue and Papal
influences.
1t had been arranged. she says.
that on the occasion of the Jubilee of
the Emperor Francis Joseph in 1898
she would be publicly acknowledged
by the Emperor and the court, but
the untimely death of the empress at
the assassin's hand, almost at the
moment when arrangements to this
end were to be completed, kept her
from the position that she asserts to
be hers by right.
The countess, who is a lady of
striking appearance, outlined to a

I'm the first place. it must be re-
membered that the extraordinary
circumstansible atmospheric of the
court in Vienna precluded any inter-
change of natural affection of solicit

children. What more natural than
that true mother, with high mater
nal instincts. should wish to train her
child as her very own? In short it
was a victory of mother love over
narrow court restrictions.

VELVET AND SATIN ARE
EXTENSIVELY USED IN
COMBINATION
WITH FANCY
FABRICS.

10th the velvets and the satins Of
the season are wonderfully beau
tiful, soft and lustrous, taking
exquisite folds and presenting an effect
of light and shadow that in itself is
fascinating. They will be much worn
in combination with plain and fancy
materials, and fancy materials are Of
silk, silk with wool, and silk with
cotton, for today cotton makes an
important material at all seasons Of
the year and can be dyed to as beauti-
full colors, made into 40 beautiful
cloths as silk and wool.
At the left Of the picture. there Is
shown gown of silk and wool crepe
with charmeuse satin and with collar
and cuffs of white poplin. The plated
tunic and the long plain basque and the
combination Of materials all mark
essential features but there is not
costume shown this season that could
not be varied almost indefinitely by
change of color or change of fabric.
In the second costume Is shown A
plated tunic Of plain crepe with a
basque and under skirt of one Of the
new satins that il slightly more lus-
trous than charmeuse and the color
matches the skirt. II Is charningly
graceful and attractive and besides
showing one of the best and latest
modes it makes practical suggestion
for women who are seeking to remodel
last seasons gowns. Any two mate
rails that are harmonious can be used
in just this way and the contrasts are
found in different fabrics Of the same
color and in plain and fancy fabrics.
new ones including stripes and figures
and plaids without number.
The cape blouse makes the feature Of
the third costume and the cape blouse
is one of the important novelties of the
autumn. This one is quite simple for
the cape which falls straight at the
back and terminates in little points
under the collar at the front. The
tunic is a aaring, circular one and It and
the skirt beneath are both finished with
overlapped edges at the front. The
wide sash is simple and straight,
swathed around the figure and finished
with bow at the back. In tho pic
turc, fancy silk is combined with the
new light weight velvet and with a cape
Of lace. s--ss--
Stripes always can be made to trim
themselves if effectively used and the
basque costume shown at the right
illustrates that point most successfully.

Powered challies are very charming, for
garments of the sort, the pretty ORR
entail silks are much liked and cotton
voiles and cotton crepes make up
most attractively in such ways while
among them are to be found the preti-
est and most attractive possible color

are joined to the garment at the long
shoulder line, 20 giving the Japaness
