of break with the United States were
the questions raised today among of
ticials by reason of new submarine at,
tacks notably by the sinking of the
Yasaka MaW and the Vile De Lo
t'iOtat without warning.
The most serious features Of the new
situation were the unwarned attacks
upon these two ships.
The new campaign was interpreted
as meaning one of two things-Ger.

or Austria S eleventh hour drive before
giving similar assurances.
The successful conceaIment OF the
nationality Of the attacking submarines
added to the difficulties Of the fixing
Of responsibility before taking action
in the case
The state department. is planning
inquiries at the Austrian and German
embassies in Washington as well as
tmong American representatives from
abroad. In this manner, it is expected,
the nationality of the attacking sub,
marines will be established.
Ambassador Won Bernstorff has re.
turned from New York to resume nego.
tiatiOns in the Lusitania case.
The new attacks without warning
doubted the determination Of officials
to insist upon Austria s prompt sub
eeriptiOn to the principles of interua,
tional law Governing sea warfare, as
asked in the Ancona notes. Further,
it German vessels were involved, the
state department is prepared to make
y prompt demand for explanation of
the apparent violation of Ambassador
Won Bernstorff's S written pledge to OBJ
serve these rules.
In connection with the new outburst
of diver attacks, it was pointed out
that immunity from attack without
warning extends to all passenger liners
regardless of whether American .eiti.
2ens are imperilled.

BOY-ED DENOUNCES
AMERICAN PAPERS
BEFORE HE LEAVES
Col. House On Same Steamer
Requests Papers Not to
Discuss His Mission

NewsYork, Dec. 2S.-As recalled Ger
man Attache Boy-ed prepared to sal
today with Colonel House, President
Wilson 3 envoy, and American Minister
Whitlock of Belgium as shipmates, il
was persistently reported that he would
take with him to the fatherland an
American bride.
Before sailing, House commented:
"I hope the American press and pub
lie will not speculate further concern
ing the object of my trip, but that they
will accept my statement previously
given, which covers the facts. l repeat
that the trip has absolutely nothing to
do with peace proposals. "
The previous statement was that he
is going to Europe to inform American
agents as to the administration attitude
on number of problems, instead OF
calling them home to tell them.
House said that he would first visit
Ambassador Page at London, and would
then see Ambassador Sharpe at Paris
and Ambassador Gerard at Berlin
though he doubted that he would con
fer with Ambassador Penfield at Wen
ma. He expects to be gone six weeks
or two months on his mission, which
it is understood, foreign governments
have approved.
Whitlock was returning to Brussels
improved physically after his recent in
disposition.
Boy-ed Denounces Press.
AT the dock, Boy-ed was surrounded
by crowd of friends. He gave a pre-
pared statement, bitterly denouncing
newspapers, particularly the Providence
Journal, which had made charges
against him.
TWhile our enemies are being sup
piled from America with all forms OF
munitions" it read, "and without
which they would long since been over
come, / have been denounced for char
tering ships to provision our cruisers al
sea at the outset of the war, as though
it were crime instead, as your courts
considere it, strictly lawful act.
"Ships that brought coal and pro
visions from Hongkong to Admiral
Dewey at Manila may cleared fol-
Maceo and China and not for the war
ships. Their clearances stated that theii
cargo was of scrap iron.
"It is my heartfelt hope that Ger
many and America which have so many
common interests always will maintain
friendly relations, that peace may come
soon. With an abatement of passions
to enable Americans to have for Ger
mans the same good will as former
ly."
Further, the statement expressed 'ap
probation for the hospitality accorded
him before the war. He was particular
ly thankful for the "rare comradeshiI
of the American navy that / have been
permitted to enjoy, due to the kindness
Of its gallant and adimarble officers
Referring to newspaper attacks, he
declared particularly, "silly" The
story that he was planning to aid Hu
erta in starting a Mexican revolution
to keep America busy at home.
Moreover he predicted that the time
is coming when the government will be
forced to suppress "wild and reckless
utterances Of irresponsible papers
which not only have i1sulted the diplo
matte representatives of friendly gov
ernments, but also have embarrassed
the country's international relations.

No one fails to appreciate the charm
Of the lace-trimmed and fluffy night
dresses that make up the mass of
these garments. Always their pro-
ducers are presenting new designs
that captivate the eye with the dainty
combination of ribbons and laces.
But there is another charm which be-
longs to the hand-embroidered gown
1t is the charm of elegance as well as
beauty. There is nothing quite equal
to find hand embroidery in expressing
q refinement of tasto, in undergar-
ments and other lingerie.
The needlewoman who can do fine
work can provide herself with lingerie
fit for q queen by virtue of her needle
craft. Or if she wishes to turn her
accomplishment to profit she may be
sure that an appreciative world is
ready to admirc-and pay for-expert
needlework. No one should put a low
price on first-class hand embroidery
not time alone, but ability to do and
quality OF workmanship are to be con-
sidered in fixing its price,.

FITTING UP THE BATHROOM
Some Of the Requisites That Must
Find Place In the Modern
Establishment.

In the days of the old tin tub almost
anything in the way of a towel was
good enough, SO long as 1t was free
from holes. The advent of sanitary
plumbing, the white enamel tub and
basin, the tile or tile-effect walls and
the nickel and glass fixtures have
made the upto-date bathroom a differ
ent proposition. For instance, utility
Is no longer the sole standard by
which the bathroom linens are judged
They must also harmonize with the
enamel and glass fittings. AS result
housewives now buy their towels in
sets In white, with an initial or mono
gram in color. Many towel sets are
bought in plain or fancy material with
out monogram. which is worked by
the housewife herself.
Bathroom sets of terry cloth are
composed of two bath towels. a bath
mat, and two face cloths, all with a
plain or fancy border and an initial or
monogram.
jacquard figured bath towels are
new and attractive. They have deep
pink or blue border and the hem is
daintily embroidered In color The
edge is finished with a deep border or
crochet of white and color. Turkish
and buck towels are almost always
embroidered in color and finished With
a scalloped or crocheted edge.

Just how the modish girl manages
to achieve certain things is the ques-
ton that engages the attention of
other girls and inspires the wonder
ment and awe of the sterner sex. How
does she get on tiny turban over the
mass of fluffy hair which crowned her
head aforetime? Where has said hair
disappeared? How does she take on,
with the foolish little turban, a mo-
body home" expression that suits it
exactly but makes one look twice to
be sure of her identity? Some of these
questions can be answered and some
cannot, because the maid herself hard
ly knows how she manages.
Just now some of the new hair
dressing styles demand that the fore
head shall be uncovered and that SIM
plicity in the couture be made a
feature of its attraction. Some daring
souls have even gone to the extreme
of combing the hair straight back
from the forehead and twisting the
ends into plain, high coil at the top
of the head. A round, young face with
an abundance of hair to frame it may
manage a couture of distinction by
such simple means, but nearly all
people need soft. curving lines about
the forehead.
A clever couture is shown in the
picture, in which the hair is not
waved but laid in pretty curves about

cRETONNEs IN THE SUMMER
BY Careful Selection, the Housewife
May Make Her Rooms Things
of Beauty.

It seems ages since the serviceable
and smart cretonnes were introduced
for hangings, coverings for furniture
and cushions, ETC., yet it still holds its
place among the newest of goods
shown fer these purposes. Porch fur
niture, comfortable cushions and cane
chairs for use on the summer piazzas
are covered and, going further, large
armchairs and low rockers for the liv-
ing room are to be upholstered in this
same good-wearing fabric.
But, of course, designs have changed
somewhat; colors are brilliant, as
usual, but among the newest are those
with birds of gorgeous plumage on a
background of black. Indeed, brilliant
applies to most of the new cretonnes;
they are vivid and still launder per-
fectly, making them an excellent
choice for the hot suns of summer
days.
The frill or 1ounce across the top
of windows Is still liked, only now 1t
should be cut narrow and lifted lit
tie directly in the center, with side
draperies of the goods. The sides OF
these frills are little longer than last
year, and variation liked Is to catch
the fullness in cluster of three or four
tiny tucks or folds about three or four
inches apart, not pressing them fiat,
but allowing them to stand out. Also

will be sought for porch and living
room for various uses. One that should
appeal to the housewife who just

ordinary furnishings into things of
beauty by covering chests, tables and
so on with cretonne; the table with
the glass top bringing an almost ele-
CANT air into the atmosphere. If wood

dismal and depressing, as some rooms
have habit of being.
A caution is to use plain paper or
paper with small figures where room
is to be fitted out in gay cretonne;
huge or startling designs will only
cause discord.
