RELIEF OF AMERICANS
Committees In London To Use
 Present Embassy.
Ambassador Page to Move His Offices to Another Building Tourists Believed to Re Now Well Out of Europe Some Staying in Germany and France-CIosing Work

London, September 17-W alt Hines Page will move the offices of the American Embassy next week to Grosvenor Square. in which neigh borhood are located the Spanish and Brazilian Embassies and the Danish and Belgian locations He is renting the building formerly used by the Japanese Embassy. It contains forty rooms and is well suited for embassy use.
 The offices being used at present by the American Embassy will be taken over temporarily by the American re- sideTfts relief committee and by the American money transfer committee, which organizations will combine their work and surrender their quarters at the Savoy Hotel
 Henry S. Breclzinridge, the Ameri- can Assistant Secretary of War, is un- certain as to how long the American directing the relief work. He thinks the American tourists are now well out of Europe excepting those in the remote sections of the Continent.
 Herbert C. Hoover, chairman Of the American residents relief committee, and other prominent workers in this i field are Of the opinion that many tourists now in Germany will leave the country when actual war news reaches them Tourists coming from Germany say that virtually all the news printed there is favorable to the German army, and that visitors have no knowledge of the Russian or of the Allies successes. Many Americans also are staying in France who con- tempIated leaving when the Germans were near Paris, and who probably would rush to England if the Allies were repulsed. The relief committee workers the American army officers, and the dipIo- n1atic and consular officers, however, feel that in view that the warning ! had been given to Americans on the Continent, the American Government should not be expected to maintain a large relief body for tourists who disregarded the advice of the United States War and State Departments.
 N1r Breckinridge to-day said that the emergency relief work should not be regarded as an emigration bureau ralized Americans who settled in Es1- rope with the idea of living there for ever, but who now want assistance back to America because the war in- terfered with their plans.
 The work of the Lonfon American Keller Committee will be gradually taken over by the attaches of the Embassy. Only about 100 refugees are eoming in dadIy now. Reports from Ostend and Flushing show that this number is not likely to increase. 1 Virtually all the refugees arriving in London now are from either Austria or Germany.

FASHION NOTES of INTEREST

n TOT even war with all its horrors
IN and its faculty for bottling up
the fashion centers of the
world has succeeded in putting any
damper on the development of beau
tiful costumes for winter functions.
The word has already gone forth that
velvet and lace are to be fashion S
favorites and fur as trimming is still
the sn1artest of the smart.
THERE is an unquestionable pic
turesqueness to be found in the
basque which has added greatly
to its popularity.
In every direction there is evidence
of the tendency toward moderation,
this season. The exaggerated long
basques have been somewhat cur
tailed and skirts are not so narrow
as they we're last season, although
those worn beneath the TUNES and
under the fiopnces are quite straight
of line.
DOTH satins and velvcts will be
~ used for the bodices, in combi-
nation with lace and other deli
cate materials, and the new velyets are
so light of weight that they are as
pleasant to wear as the thinnest silk.
Since lace hounces of all widths are
worn. there may be one, two, three or
six used, as the lady in question may
prefer or the figure require. Often it
will happen that the skirt is not en-
tireIy covered, two or three hounces
being set on, leaving the lower edge
plain.
CASHES are really important, very
much so. Made of different
materials. they are found on
street gowns as well as on those for
indoor wear, and are swathed around
the figure and draped in every possible
and fascinating way. For evening
wear they are made of the most beauti-
full ribbons, the richest of silks and the
softest of velvets, and for the street
they are sometimes made OF satin,
sometimes of ribbon. sometimes OF
wool material matching the gown.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1914-11-22

Just now there Is a very marked
tendency toward the high neck. Not
that the open neck will be entirely
abandoned. IL is beautiful indoors and
will continue TO be used. but, like
many another good thing, it has been
overdone and travestied, and the con
dition has brought about a certain
sense Of revolt. The newest necI1s are

as the costume demands. but always
forming frame for the face and almost
universally trimmed with fur used IN
one way or another. They arc 10 Be
worn in the street, and in the house,
with coats and with gowns, and
women who arc on the outlook for
effective garnitures Of moderate c9st
will find the new Elizabethan ruf Of
velvet with fur band finish and uua
to match a very good and smart sub.
stituts for the entire fur set.

The Military Idea.

1t is rumored that all of the military
influence that is abroad will bring
about the simple, severe tailored cos
tune before many months. Whether
or not that prophecy will be verified
remains for the future to prove, but
that there are evidences in the half
fitting, loose coats that are finished
with nlannish revers and lapels is
true beyond question. and those OF
lis who study these things and are on
the outlook for straws have learned
that such indications are prophets Of
what is to come.
1t is probable that by the spring
the simpler tailored effect will have
gained successful vogue, but for the
moment the fur trimmed costume is
the accepted one. Fur collars and fur
trimming arc shown In numberless
forms. They appear not alone upon
the jackets of the coat suits but also
on the long, loose coats that arc
worn over entire gowns, and they
unquestionably make an interesting
feature of winter fashions.
