TWO "EXCLUSIVE" GOWNS, BOTH

Wles Of Partisan Designers Exempi6ed When South American
Society Woman and Miss May Patten Meet
At Argentine Embassy.

Society has had another illustration
Of the falacy of exclusive designs in
gowns, even when buying direct from
the Paris designers and paying duty
through custom houses. Not since the
Countess Won Bernstorff wife of the
German Amba ssador, and Mrs. Stephen
G. Elkins greeted each other in twin
creations of black satin and steel
beads at one OF last years most formal
dinners, has there been such a sur
prise as confronted Mrs. Samuel Hale
Pearson. wife of one of the leading
bankers of Argentina. when she
met one of Washington's widely known
women at luncheon, each wearing an
up-to- the minute creation of black
chiffon and FURNISHED silver.
Mrs. Pearson was the guest OF honor
at a tea at the Argentine Embassy.
Miss May Patten was one of the guests
invited to meet the South American
visitor who is handsome and distin-
suished in the Spanish type of her
native land. Also, being a woman
Of much reserve. she apparently was
unconscious of the fact that her Paris
gown, right from the Rue de La Park
to Buenos Aires. and worn for the first
time during her Washington visit. had
a duplicate in the gown of Miss Pat
ten, which also was right from Paris
and worn for the first time at the Ar

Miss Patten, however. was too much
surprised by being confronted by
twin gown. even on the person OF SO
a visitor as Mrs. Pearson.

GERMANS NEED MEN
TO CONTINUE WARFARE
Capt. Siewer. of Their Army. Left
Notebook Describing How They
Give Life for Prestige.
BY FRANKLIN T. MERRICK

by FRANKLIN L. MERRICK
Paris. June "A desperate need of men
faces the Germans in the western theater
OF war. This is made plain in an official
statement issued by the government press
bureau today. The narrative contains
important information found in a note
book, which had been taken from the
pocket Of Capt. Siewer. commander of the
First battalion of tine I1lth Infantry,
who was killed in the fighting at Notre
Dame de Lorette.
The official narrative says:
These notes show the weakness of the
German troops at certain parts of their
front. Capt. Siewer. who was killed on
May 20. had advised his superiors ten
DAYS earlier. after receiving orders to
keep at all costs the Lorette heights
that this feat was practically impossi-
Bile because Of the heavy losses sustain
ed by his troops. Capt. Siwer's memo
randum followed:
The strength of the l11th Regiment has
been reduced to the following figures:
first company, four noncommissioned OFF,
GERS and twenty-five men: second COM
pany. eighty noncommissioned officers
and men: third company. eighty-seven
noncommissioned officers and men: fourth
company. eighty noncommssioned officers
and men. making total of e7s officers
and men for the entire battalion This
was only one-third of the normal
strength.
On May II I received an order to at
tack. but that was impossible For five
days my men were engaged in continuous
fighting with hardly anything to eat We
should have evacuated Notre Dame d,
Lorette. but il seems We We're only fight
ing for prestiG-. After the position had
been lost the order came to retake IT,
That was easy to say. but impossible TO
accomplish. ] called for re-enforcements.
but to no avail. l managed to hold on up
to May Is. despite the fact my men would
run away. and I had often to menace
them with my pistol
Capt Siever said he knew he would he
il he allowed his men to
give way. despite the great odds against
him. Soon after this the German captain
was killed
This shows the superhuman efforts
Germany asked of her troops even before
Italy entered the conflict"
