BOTH SIDES FLING LIVES AWAY
IN CRUCIAL BATTLE TO HOLD
THE STRAITS OF DOVER.
SACRIFICE IS APPALLING
vERpUN DEFENDERS TO HOLD
GIANT SIEGE GUNS FROM
FRENCH FoRTREss.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
London, Oct. 27.-Thc battle for the
Straits of Dover. one OF the most san
culinary Of the war, is continuing with
unabated fury. but thus far without
either side gaining any decided adyan-
tags.
The Germans. who at terrible cost
In life succeeded last Saturday in
crossing the User between Nieuport
and Dixmude, have not been able to
make further progress, as the allies,
according to a report Of the German
general headquarters. are obstinately
defending their positions.
1t is the same further south around
Armentieres. Lille, La Bassee and Ar
ras. The opposing armies are deliver
Ing fierce attacks, gaining or losing .
few miles or less of ground with sacri-
ffces In life that are appalling. The
whole countryside is fairly reeking
with the blood of thousands of killed
or wounded. In the towns and villages
with which the country is crowded, and
most OF which have been laid in ruins
by the artillery, most desperate fight
Ing has occurred when the cavalry and
infantry come into contact. Both sides
speak of the heavy losses they have
imposed on their adversaries but say
nothing of their own dead or wounded.
The British fleet which did such exc
cution in bombarding the German
flanks as they advanced along the
coast, seems to have withdrawn. The
Germans say this was because their
artillery was beginning to reach the
ships. The belief is expressed here,
however, that the fleet will be able to
render untenable German occupation
of any part Of the Belgian or French
coasts. The opinion also is expressed
here that the operations of the aAied
vessels in the North Sea, off the Bel
gian coast and in the vicinity Of the
Straits Of Dover, may cause the Ger
man fleet to come out and give battle.
In naval circles here 1t is considered
that the German submarines, although
they have proved deadly to ships
'steaming slowly. will not be 80 effect
i've against ships steaming and maneu-
vering at high speed and in shallow
waters. as the British monitors and
their auxiliaries have been doing.
There is some talk of the Germans
bringing their 42-centimetre guns to
the coast to use against the allies war
ships, but the British sailors are cred
tied with saying that their vessels can.
prevent these guns being put in posi-
tion. They claim that, even though
they be mounted, they will not be SO
deadly against fast-moving target, as
they were against the stationary forts,
which they destroyed SO easily.
While this life-and-death struggle is
going on In the west, the French have
become more active in the east, along
the Alsatian border, and are said to
be making preparations and getting
honors In view Of possible attacks by
the Germans, with their big howitzers,
on the Belfort fortress.

FOR THE ELDERLY WOMAN
Great Variety of Pleasing Materials
Are Offered-Embroidere Net
Dresses.

Striped and plain MORE is lovely for
tailored suits, gabardine and needle
cloth morning wear or the simpler
afternoon costumes. Lingerie dresses
in batiste are embroidered with raised
handwork French designs. There is
not so much eyelet work in the en-
broidered dresses at present. Filet
lace is given preference. Striped or
plaid girdles give these summer after
noon frocks an up-to-date touch. There
is such choice in these designs, wide,
narrow and varied stripes and vari-
Gus clan plaids in all combinations of
colors and in dull as well as bright
hues and tones, that the gowns may
be infinitely varied by a judicious
changing of these girdles.
The embroidered net dresses are al,
Sc nice for elderly women. These are
made up over white, with coat-like
tunics and discreet little touches Of
color made by quillings or ruches.

NEW COL0RS ARE EXQUISITE
Designers Seem to Have Outdon0
Themselves in Their Productions
for the Summer.

The new silver-green is a lovely
tint. 1t exactly resembles the color OF
breaker just before it topples over
below its crown of foam, and is par
ticularly effective in velvet and silk
cashmere, brooches and soft silks In
satin its white lights are rather
strong. 1t is the prettiest shade OF
green that has been seen for many
years, and will undoubtedly be popu-
lar throughout the spring.
Another new colcr that has caught
on is called cog de roche, and is deep
er and warmer than buff and has an
affinity with tango tint. But the
union of black and white is the most
noticeable of the moment, and Scotch
tartan is in great demand among the
fashionable dressmakers. 1t is used
for panniers and for frills, edging pan
niers of other material, also for the
sash in some Of its novel forms, such
as extending into train, catching the
folds of draped skirts, forming an i'm
mense bow some inches below the
waist at the back, occasionally even
in front, with ends falling below the
knees. We may see before long
whole gowns composed of sash and
stole, and nothing more.

Millinery Trimming Real Boon for
the Woman With Little
Money to Spend.

A novel bow for the tailored spring
hat is the sole trimming needed, since
1t practically covers any of the small
new shapes. 1t is made of three-inch
broad and very heavy ribbon, fash
toned into four seventeen long loops
that start under common knot. This
knot is placed exactly at the center
of the crown and from it the loops
are drawn respectively toward the
edge of the brim at back, front and
sides. They do not lie fiat, but
stand partly on edge in the perky lit
tie manner which is difficult to
achieve unless one possess the mil
liners touch. This sort Of bow will
prove a real boon to the woman who
must refurbish a last years straw
hat-if she can bend it into reason
able resemblance to one of the re-
cent skapes-for, having refaced the
brim with new velvet, she may con-
ceal the faded crown with the long
and broad ribbon loops.

BRASSEERES HERE TO STAY
Little Doubt That They viii Retain
Their Popularity for Some
Time to Come.

When brassieres first became pop
ular, they were looked upon as a fad,
but women have hailed them as such
a boon that brassieres will soon come
to be considered as necessary as the
corset cover, especially to the plump
woman. One need not be stout, how
ever. to wear the brassiere, for many
slim women are wearing them to i'm
prove their figures above the waist
line. because they seem in many in
stances to be more satisfactory than
ruf1es and the like. At first bras
sieres were plain and unadorned, but
one can find them now in as dainty a
guise as the corset cover. The latest
touch on them is that of hand embroid-
cry. Nearly any article of underwear
can be improved by touch Of hand
work. The brassiere itself can be pur-
chased complete and the embroidery
added afterward by the needlewoman
at home. Usually. the embroidery is

REVIVAL OF THE OLD FASHION
Many Features of Umbrella Dress Are
Practical Copies OF the Styles
of 1880.

The umbrella dress is like a closed
rain shield. When one sees the model
from the side, front or back view it
suggests an umbrella opened wide.
The great width Of the skirt is at the
top, where it stands out from the
belt in horizontal lines, the taffeta
folds being wired to give the UNI
brella shape. The skirt slopes in at
the feet and is slashed at the back,
which is another innovation, but is
by no means the feature of the sea-
son. Slashes and draperies have prac-
ticaIly disappeared and skirts are gen.
orally cut round and plain or greatly
sloped upward at the side of the
front
Every belle of 1880 had a dress
f1ounced from waist to hem, and the
fashionable woman of this summer
will be no less fortunate. There is a
genuine century old costume of black
taffeta that has tier upon tier of grad
uated frills encircling the skirt, and
each nicely laid f1ounce is finished on
the edge with fold of taffeta. The
sleeves follow the same style and are
quite long.
