Muslin Frock With Pannier.

The long tunic. which has swallowed all
other overdrapery on the skirts as far as
one can see, has not made it's appearance
in any appreciable measure on the wash
muslin gown. but the pannier has. 1t is
on half the models in the shops. and by
that token, on the models in the sewing
rooms.
There are Powered panniers on skirts Of
plain white, and also overskirts of
striped fabrics. although one cannot COM
mend the latter design. Women's figures
are sufficiently cut up as it is. without the
assistance of different fabrics.
Possibly. the summer may straighten US
out, and return to us the simplicity of
which we are sadly in need. but while
fashions are as they are, 1t behooves each
woman to struggle valiantly against the
patchwork quilt appearance which she
can obtain without effort.
A skirt in plain colors with pannier
in Powered design, is attractive on a
figure that has not lost it's grace. But
one must go carefully In choosing this.

The sketch shows very successful

with a bodice and pannier of blue muslin
edged with ruf1les of white net The fes-

of the pannier are repeated at the waist
and neck. The sleeves OF the net have

ribbon.

CARE IN SELECTING
UBIQUITOUS CAPE

In an informative fashion paper pub
lished in Paris there's an article on 1.-The
triumph Of the long CAPE" That this
wonderful garment is triumphant in the
sense that it is practically ubiquitous
cannot be denied; but the triumph Is
fraught with danger for the average
woman
Capes-especially long onesEare SO full
OF mischief They take-or seem to take
malicious delight in leading their wear
ers into paths which are full Of pitfalls.
And the worst Of the matter is that the
average woman does not seem to realize
the position.
At Auteuil and Lonchamps, for exam
pie. there is one silhouette which stands
away from all others-the silhouette of a
woman wearing very short, skinny
skirt, a very long pleated tunic, a very
long and immensely wide cape. and a mar
row toque decorated with a high mount
This Is the silhouette of 1914, and when
exploited by certain women it lis quite
charming.
For the Tall and Slender.
Nevertheless. 1t is full Of danger One
has but to look through a series Of photo
graphs taken in the pesage Of Auteuil or
Lonchamps. The first thing that suggests
itself is that nearly all the women are
short and stout This is the effect pro-
duced by the present style Of dress.
Any one who cares to take the trouble
to observe carefully will soon see that
nine women in ten. nowadays look more
graceful when they are sitting than when
they are standing.
The silhouette Of 1914 is distinctly pic
turesque-it seems to promise a great
deal, but the combination of an ultra-long
tunic and an ultra-short skirt-not to
mention the enormous cape-dwarfs the
figure; this cannot be denied
We have in our midst all sorts and con-
ditions of capes. One has but to realize
ones own possibilities and limitations and
then to make choice; and the same ap-
plies to pleated tunics. In all, do not Sc
lect the exaggeratedly long tunic, which
looks like curtailed skirt, unless you
are tall and slender

dressing badly this summer than last
winter. and that is saying much. There
should be finger posts pointing the way or
rather lighthouses warning one away
from the reefs and shoals. Possibly this
is SO because wash materials are cheaper
than heavy ones. and because hot wealth
er clothes are easier to make than cold
weather ones.

An Ideal Summer Costume.

An ideal summer costume. suitable for
a garden party, is old-world with its tiers
Of gathered fiounces. It is made of or
candle and each hounce is bordered with
tiny beads in tapestry colors.
Fairy-like embroidertes. in the form OF
tiny sprigs OF flowers, appear on the
founces themselves, and these flowers are
also worked in beads. Then the pictur-
esque cape-which Is free from exagger-
ation-is made Of midnight-blue char
meuse and lined with soft Indian silk in
a delicious shade Of watermelon pink.
There Is a high collar. which frames the
face, and the costume is crowned by the
smartest of smart sailors.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
NEW YORK, June 22-The summer
sales are instructive as well as helpful.
The student of clothes finds there the
answer to the problems of the early sea-
son. and the woman with a slightly filled
purse finds another kind of answer to
the particular kind of problem that be-
sets her.
One sees what fashions were not es
pecially successful. and the other sees
what she can get at slight cost So the
summer sales have many points Of merit
to the consumer as well as to the pro-
Queer
Here, for instance, where such sales are
important as straws that show the wind
as It blows over the rest of the country,
there are muslin frocks sold at astonish-
ingly low prices. which might be taken as
a sign that the American woman adopted
the plan of her French sister. and bought
silk. 1t is true that some taffeta gowns
are sold at small prices. but they are
usually the originals which were brought
here in March from Paris.
If one could wait until the end of May
for ones spring clothes. what wonder
full bargains one could get. But the shops
know this fact as well as We do, and 1t is
not good business to let women believe
that 1t can be done. And again, we can
not wait

FROM BERLIN
BY WAY OF BELGIUM
Prof. Fickenscher Says He Witnessed
Hardships and Suffering Result
ing From War.

Arthur Fickenscher. who has for the
last two years been a professor of
music in Berlin, is now the guest of
his sister at 502 Quincy street. Pet
worth.
When he left Berlin October he
says that the war had not made any
serious depression on the lives of the
German populace, the theaters and con-
cert halls were open as heretofore, and
the citizens were enthusiastic over
their prospects in the field.
He said that as he came through Bel
gium he witnessed terrible hardships
and suffering. He was delayed because
all of the trains were crowded with
wounded Beigians being brought in
from the battlefield and with French
prisoners.
He reached the border Just after the
bombs had been dropped, destroying
historic edifces, and there was great
apprehension.
He witnessed the exodus of refugees
from Antwerp, and says that there was
long delay at all the railroad stations,
as the buildings were used as tempo
rary homes by the refugees who camp
ed out there.
In Holland he found the feeling very
tense, as there was grave fear that
some overt act would draw the people
of that country into the general tur-
moil.

TRANSFER OF GERMAN
CREW IS QUESTIONED

HONOLULU. T. H, October Go
Transfer Of the crew of the German
power schooner Aeolus. sunk by the
Japanese battleship Hizen off this port
Saturday, from that warship to a
launch of the North German Lloyd
refugee steamer Locksun outside the
harbor yesterday. has raised questions
as to the propriety of this act. The
Locksun Is interned here and there is
uncertainty as to whether her sending
out a launch did not constitute a
breach Of neutrality. As there were
Chinese among the crew of the Aeolus,
q possible breach of the immigration
law also is involved.
It Is understood that the situation
has been laid officially before Wash
1ngton for a decision.
The German schooner Hermes. from
the Marshall Islands. was more for
tunate than the Aeolus, from the same
islands. for she succeeded yesterday in
running the blockade established out
side this port by the Hizen and is now
safe under the protection of American
neutrality.

APPEALS TO IRISH MANHOOD.
Redmond Says Country Must Main
tain Its Place as Fighting Nation.

BELFAST. Ireland. via London, Octo-
Der 26.-Addressing a meeting Of Irish
volunteers yesterday, John E. Red
mond. the Irish nationalist leader. said
that when the Irish government came
into being the volunteers must be abb
solutely at the disposal of that govern
ment, and he declared that in spite of
emigration Ireland would maintain her
place as a fighting nation.
"Ireland's rights" said Mr.. Redmond.
ARE not to be defended merely within
the Irish shores. If the manhood of
Ireland refused to strike blow where
real fighting is going on the country
would be covered with disgrace. Ire
land would be Inundated if after the
war it had to be admitted that the
safety and liberties of Ireland had
been guarded by the sacrifices of other
men, while Irishmen remained at home
and took none of the risks
Thirty-fve thousand men from all
parts of Ireland have joined the army
since the beginning of the war. Mr..
Redmond added.

FRENCH CLAIM PROOF
OF "ATR0C|OUS ORDER"
Bordeaux Reports Documents Con-
frming German 'No-Quarter"
Command.

Claim is made by the French that the
report that an "atrocious order" to
German troops not to give quarter to
any prisoner, but to shoot them ALL is
confirmed in documents now in the
according to an official dispatch given
out at the French embassy here today.
This statement is as follows:
1.-The report appeared in the press
sometime ago, according to which Gen.
Stenger, commanding a brigade of the
German army in France, had issued an
order to his troops prescribing to them
to give no quarter to any prisoners,
but to shoot them all and to finish
the wounded.
IAN official statement from Berlin.
via Sayville, was issued thereupon, de-
claring that this was an impudent lie
Swear Order Was Also Executed.
THE atrocious order had, neverthe-
less. really been given and carried out,
and proof of it is in the hands of the
French government. Over twenty Ger
man prisoners of the 112th and 1920
Regiments of Infantry forming the
Stenger brigade) are now held in
France, at Montbr1Son and St Euenne
They have declared, under oath, before
the magistrate, that this order was ac-
tually issued on the 26th of August,
and that, in accordance with it, all
French wounded found that day were
at once dispatched.
Officers. and notably Capt. Curtius
of the 112th Regiment, superintended
personally the execution of the order"
Only Trusteeship for Protection.
German property in France, taken over
by the French government, has not been
confiscated, but merely taken into trus-
teeship for it's protection. according to
a statement at the French embassy to-
day supplementing dispatch from the
foreign office at Bordeaux describing
seizure of French property by the Ger
mans in Alsace-Lorraine. The dispatch
was as follows:
THE German government, according
to reports received from Switzerland,
intends to seize personal and real es-
tates belonging to the French in AL
sace-Lorraine in reprisal for the seiz-
ure Of German property in France
consider it hardly necessary to state
that the French official government cir
cular of the 14th of October referred
to by the Germans merely enforced
probationary measures for placing
German property situated in France
under trusteeship OF the government.

MORE TROOPS ON CANAL ZONE.
War Department Orders Infantry
Regiment to Reinforce Garrison.

In view of the war in Europe and in
the far east it has been thought best
by the officers of the War Department
to increase the military garrison on the
Panama Canal Zone. To that end or
ders have been prepared for the trans
fer to the Canal Zone of the 5th United
States Infantry. now stationed at Platts-
burg barracks. N. Y. and 1t is expected
that the troops will be taken to Panama
on the transport Buford. now at Vera
Cruz.
There are already stationed in the
Canal Zone the 10th Infantry and four
companies of coast artillery.
The date of the departure of the 9Th
Infantry will depend somewhat on de-
velopments at Vera Cruz. 1t is not
known yet when the Buford will be re-
lieved from duty at that port. Her
movements will be governed by the
policy of the administration regarding
the withdrawal of troops from the
Mexican port.

TO RELIEVE CONGESTION
AT THE AQUEDUCT BRIDGE
Secretary Garrison Approves Recon-
mendations for Changes at Struc-
lures Southern Approach.

After many months of study and in
vestigation, Secretary Garrison today ap-
proved plans prepared by board Of
officers here for the relief Of congested
conditions at the southern approach to
the Aqueduct bridge at Rosslyn, Va. The
plans, originally submitted by the en-
gineers. recently were modified to meet
the wishes of the Secretary Of War.
Generally, these plans provide for the
removal to a position farther back from
the bridge of the station of the Wash
inRton Utilities Company. on the eastern
side of the approach. and the location
of the station of the Great Falls and
Old Dominion Company directly opposite
on the western side of the approach: also
the widening of the roadway from d
width of twenty-four feet at the entrance
of the bridge gradually to width of
about thirty-five feet nearer the main
highway in Virginia
These changes are designed mainly to
relieve the congestion that is caused at
this point by the rapidly increasing
traffic between Washington, the Fort
Myer reservation, the Arlington cemetery
and other points in Virginia.

evening of August 10. The Macklin
girl had been missing since that date.
when she left the home of her uncle,
Charles Miller to go to meet farmer.
who had telephoned that he had work
for the girl.
The police are working on a theory
that the slayer of the girl was resi-
dent of South Bend.

Inns companion on the evening she
disappeared was about forty years old,
five feet eleven inches in height, and
weighing about 165 pounds. The man
