A group Of new breakfast or bou-
doir caps causes one to wonder where
their makers find SO many ideas by
which to furnish the variety needed
There are two distinctly new and one
entirely original design among these.
They are all very simple and easy to
make.
At the left Is a cap Of silver lace
and narrow satin ribbon, which may
be in any color desired. 1t is made of
a circular piece of lace about fourteen
inches in diameter, edged with mes
saline ribbon, machine stitched to it
in two rows of stitching. These are far
enough apart to form a casing for a
small elastic cord. This Is run in and
the lace fulled on 1t to form the cap
and ruffie.
A fan or petal of lace Is made over
wire support. The narrow ribbon
is stitched to the edge of the fan, as
for the cap. But instead of elastic
cord, a fine wire is run in the casing.
The fan should be placed on the cap
before the ruffied edge Is stitched on,
as the ribbon covers its raw edge.
At the right pretty cap is made Of
strips of ribbon, shadow lace and net.
These form the crown. A band of rib
bon covered with lace extends about
the face, and frill of lace falls in a
little cape at the back. For decora-
ton a narrow band of bead passemen-
terie is sewed to the band, and ribbon
rosettes are set at each side at the end
OF the cape.

thin light-colored silk for the crown
and frill of plated shadow lace fall
ing about the face. Soft satin ribbon
is caught in puffs about the cap, with
bow finishing it at the left side.
Net and val lace insertion are used
for the last cap, with a narrow val
edging forming the rpffie about the
face. A straight band Of narrow satin
ribbon is laid in small fat bow with
double loops at the right and ends,
with loops and hanging ends at the
left side.
Except the cap Of silver lace, these
may all be washed, for they are made
of strong cotton laces and wash silks.

The gale which wrought such havoc
at sea accomplished its work on land,

EMBASSY MAKES STATE MENT
Issues Protest Against the Detention
Of Hamburg-American
Liner.

MISUNDERSTANDING has protest
ed to the United States against deten-
ton of the neutrality-suspicious. liner
Odenwald at San Juan, Porto Rico, un-
der the neutrality regulations.
The German embassy issued this
statement:
1.-The German embassy has request
ed the state department to investigate
the case Of the Odenwald. The cap
tain of this steamer had asked for
clearance papers from Hamburg and
the steamer was searched by order
from Washington, twice, thoroughly by
customs house authorities. The result
of the search having been satisfactory,
the captain was promised clearance
papers.
after having been kept waiting for
three days the captain believed that
the situation forced him to put to sea,
disregarding the rules of the harbor,
because otherwise the assembling Of
cruisers Of the enemy, which had been
informed of his intention, wOuld have
involved the inevitable loss of his ship.
when the Odenwald tried to leave
sharp fire was Immediately directed
against her from Moro Castle, with
out the blind warning shot having
been fired, which is usual, according
to international rules.
s"The fire was continued until three
minutes after the machines of the
Odenwald had been put on full steam
backwards. It is attributed to a lucky
chance by this attack no human life
was lost"
United States officials believed the
Odenwald was about to violate the neu-
trality Of the United States by carry
ing supplies to German ships at sea,
or was preparing to outfit on the high
seas as a converted cruiser. A libel
against her under the new neutrality
resolution already has been filed.

FEEL EFFEcT OF FIGHTING


Fl Pasos-A report predicting that
Mexico ace = serious situation re-
speeding her food supplies has been
made By = committee Of Americans
and foreigners after an investigation
OF the situation. t.says, in part:
-Four years Of almost continuous
fighting has produced q condition In
the food supply situation SO serious rs
to threaten q famine ~necessitating
world wide aid. By November
1915, there will be q shortage OF 49,
$4,000 bushels OF corr alone, not to
mention the other absolutely neces-
sary cereals.
That the effects Of this wanton
destruction are only just beginning to
be felt Is due to the great productive
riches OF Mexico's agricultural regions.
But ~self-seeking and self-appropriated
military leaders have for so long har-
assed the farmer that Mexico is about
to reap the whirlwind she has sown.
Corn is the staff OF life in Mexico.
Its harvest for the present veal should
begin about Nov. /. Upon investiga-
ton, there r but five of Mexico's
II states-Oaxaca, Morelos, Cam
peche. Tabasco and Chiapas-proba-
bly, have enough corn to carry them
over this period with strictest econ
omy. This will take care Of 100000
people. Yucatan. with $50, 700 popula-
ton, produces no corn, but has money
to buy it.
"This leaves the rest of Mexico, with
approximately 13,500,000 people, with
a visible supply of approximately $751;
900 tons, enough to last but three
months. About next July, then, the
real pinch Of hunger will be felt"

SIX WEEKS SUPPLY ON HAND
Count Won Bernstorff Thinks There
Will Be No Further Trouble II the
u. S. Should Threaten EN-
barge on War Supplies.

Washington.-A gloomy view of the
immediate future of the American tex
tile industry was presented at the
White House and the state department
by a committee representing 400 mills,
headed by former Representative
Metz of New York.
Unless some relaxation OF the Brit
ish blockade is obtained and German
dyestuffs reach them within six weeks
time, Mr.. Metz declared, 270 mills will
be forced to close and 100000 opera
tives be thrown out of work.
Government officials held out no
great hope to the textile men. The
situation is complicated in the extreme
and apparently there is little prospect
of framing an agreement satisfactory
to both Great Britain and Germany.
Under q previous agreement with
Germany ships carrying American cot
ton to German ports were permitted to
bring back dyestuffs. The new Brit
ish order, however, has struck at this
traffic in both directions, and officials
were at 4 loss for a new plan under
which the German chemicals could be
obtained.
The textile representatives called at
the German embassy after their con-
ferences with government officials and
the ambassador, Count Won Bernstorff,
suggested that there would be no fur
ther trouble about dyestuffs shipments
if they could get the United States to
threaten an embargo on exports Of wal
supplies to Great Britain unless inter
ference with trade between America
and Germany in f~oodstuffs, cotton and
other non-contraband goods ceased.
The ambassador reiterated the re-
cent declaration of the Berlin foreign
office of Germany's willingness to dis
continue the sinking without notice by
submarines Of British merchantmen if
Great Britain would stop molesting
non-contraband cargoes consigned to
German civilians.

Petrograd, via London.-Chotin dis
patches tell Of the development and
failure of extensive Austrian opera
lions in Bukowina, ear the Russian
frontier, by which the Austrians
hoped to achieve a coup similar to the
German feat of cutting off the Rus
sian army corps during the last ad-
vance into East Prussia.
The Austrians, it is said, attempted
a lightning advance in two directions
from Czernowitz. The first, striking
nOrthward, attempted an encircling
maneuver, while the other proceeded
direct to Chotin, across the Russian
border. Thus. exerting pressure from
the main forces. Three and one-half
Austrian columns were employed In
these maneuvers.
The preliminary %northward move
ment of the first Austrian group re-
pulsed the Russians occupying SADIE
gura, a village six miles north Of Ger
nowitz, and then moved on two paral-
lei roads toward the Russian frontier.
In the meantime the second group
reached a point on the right bank of

Russian border. Thence an Austrian
cavalry brigade led an attack on Cho-
tin, where, according to reports, Rus
sian cavalry in smaller numbers than
the Austrians, engaged them in a
fierce battle, driving the Austrians
from the frontier.
Despite the failure of the direct at
tack on Chotin, the Austr1ans con
tinued to develop the encircling move
ment, attacking the Russian fortifica-
lions covering the line on the Dneister
near Zale Szcysky. Although the Aus
TRAN offensive in this region is still
continuing, it is regarded here, in view
of the retreat of the other group from
Chotin, that the success Of the venture
is not likely.

THE SEA RAIDER INTERNES
Prinz Eitei, German Auxiliary Cruiser,
Requests To Be informed For
the War.

Newport News, Va. Commander
Max Thierichens of the German auxil-
larry cruiser Prinz Eitel Friedrich has
asked the United States government,
through port authorities here, to intern
his ship and crew for the war.
Up to the last moment the German
ing ready for a dash to ca, and when
the time for decision finally came he
explained that failure Of expected re-
lief to arrive had made it necessary
to intern, rather than deliver crew
and ship to fruitless and certain de
struction by British and French war
ships waiting off the Virginia capes."
April 8 the commerce raider made
her last cruise of the war. She was
taken to the Norfolk navy yard, across
Hampton Roads, from the shipyard
here, where she has been laid up since
1imping into port on March 10, after
the remarkable commerce destroying
voyage from the Orient, during which
she sent the American ship William
P. Frye to the bottom.
Commander Trierichens notified the
Washington government through Col
lector of Customs Hamilton of his de-
cision to intern rather than deliver
crew and ship to fruitless and certain
destruction" by British and French
warships.
The German captain delivered his
announcement in writing when Col
lector Hamilton boarded the Eiter
Friedrich with an imperative notice
from the Washington government that
the time for his stay in this port had
expired and that he must leave Amer
lean waters by 4 o'clock on the morn
ing of April s. Before the customs col
lector could deliver the message, Com
mander Thierichens handed to him the
written announcement of his decision.
Determination of the German COM
mander to intern Immediately operated
to life the American embargo against
merchant ships Of allied European ma
lions leaving this port. More than a
score Of British merchant vessels,
which had been cleared, but held up,
were Immediately permitted to leave
port, and custom houses at Newport
News and Norfolk were kept open un-
til late at night issuing clearances.
