MEN IN DEcolETTE
 III t III I'M D. M I'M | II A SWISS FASHION
Much in Vogue at Outbreak of the
 War

CHAMONIX, Switzerland, Aug 22.- Men in 'decollete" attracted more attention than women in flimsy fash- ienable dress in the principal Swiss towns and mountaineering resorts up to the outbreak of war. 4~
 The fashion consists of a white flannel or silk shirt, worn open at the neck down to the second button, with a wide soft sailor collar flowing over the coat It is called the Schiller collar and was made in Germany" or at least the fashion is stated to have started there, and has now spread to the Swiss and Austrians. English and American visitors have not adopted it, however and they seem surprised to see men walking about in Tow neck" both by day and night That men are becoming wo- men is the opinion of the sturdy Chamonix guides.

BRITISH STATEMENT
 AS TO SHIPPING
That of Germany Closely Tied
 Up
ASSOCIATED PRESS pIsPArcHy


 WASHINGTON, Aug. 22-The Bri- tish embassy made public tonight the following official summary of the naval situation received today from the London foreign office
 The floating trade of Germany has been brought to a standstill by the operations of the British cruisers in the several part sof the world The German fleet is unable to interfere or to set their commerce free owing to the British main fleet, which is cruising in full strength and pre- venting any interference with it's commerce.
 Already about seven per cent of total tonnage is in British hands, an- other twenty per cent is sheltering in neutral harbors and the remainder IS either in German harbors unable to move or endeavoring to find 'se- curity. British shipping, with the exception of less than one per cent, Which, was in German harbors at the outbreak of war, is actively pursu- ing it's business on all the great con- mercial routes.
 ''The German squadron in China has been rendered ineffective by the constant pursuit by the British squadron in the Far East. Trade in China is therefore unaffected.
 'The Austrian squadron in the Adriatic has retired before the com bfned Anglo-French fleet, which is so superior that it is about to send strong. detachments to any part of the Mediterranean or adjoining seas in which naval forces may be re- quired." t

AERIAL FACTS
 0F GREAT WAR
Comparison of Resources. of Germany, France, Russia and Austria Show ing First Named to be Far in the Lead

LONDON, Aug. 22.-An aeronautical expert says: The. probable plans of campaign of the various air fleets are a vitally interesting subject of specu- iation. The best sky fleet is that of Germany The German machines are uniformly good, while German pilots hold nearly all the important records. There is a very large number of civil ian pilots who form a species of army reserve. The number of machines which German aeroplane firms are cap able of building at normal rates is ap- proXimately 2O00 per annum. Of the French military aeroplanes it is ques- tionable whether more than 25O are of much war utility. Information con- corning the aerial service is difficult to obtain, as congratulations of late have been very frequent. The total building capacity of the French aero plane firms is about equal to that of Germany. -Of the completed French dirigilbles the only large rigid is the Spiess, which was originally failure, but having subsequently been much modified has since been reported considerable success. French dirigibles as rule are very we'll handled. but their endurance capacity is inferior to that of the Germans.
 Russia's aeroplane building capa- city is small-it is doubtful if it exceeds two hundred per annum.
 Most of Austria's hundred modern aeroplanes are, of German construc- tion. There is one Austrian factory the Lohner-Daimler. capable of turn ing out about one hundred machines year. The German AIbatross con- pany has recently started works in Austria, but the output from there at the present moment is probably small Contrary to general belief Austria has no airships whatever, although she has a Zeppelin under order.
 From the foregoing 1t will be seen that Germany. is likely to concen- trate the whole of her aerial force against France, leaving the Austrians to do such mischief as they can against Russia. Attacks on Russia VIII, however, De by no means easy. as all her aerial centers are at least hundred miles back from the from tier. This, according to computation is approximately two hours, flight in an aeroplane, and from three to four in a dirigible, because neither Germany nor Austria has it's stations exactly on the frontier It is prob al, ,l tile aircraft will penetrate Russia than will succeed in getting away from it again.
