NEW PROTESTS
TO ENGLAND
Cotton Men Insistcnt That
Trade With Germany
Be RcOpcned.
HOLD UP OF CARGOES,
CAUSES BIG LOSSES

wAsHinGroN. May i7.-one result Of
the German submarine attacks and the
demands made Upon Germany by the
United States regarding them il the
growth OF opinion in V of the United
States Government renewing its protests
against the acts Of Great Britain in In
terfer,ug with neutral trade rights.
Those interested In American cotton
shipments are particularly insistent that
further efforts be made to ger for Amer
lean cargocs the treatment which the
United states has already declared in
correspondence with the British Govern
ment Is due them.
The complaint OF the German repre-
sentatives tina the United States GOV
eminent is taking much more drastic
action with reference to Germany's vio-
lations of law with regard to
British ansgression is finding a GER
tain amount Of sympathy here. espe-
cially among those suffering by the Brit
ish interference with shipments TO Ger
many.
1t is recognized OF course that the Of
fence to the nation In holding up car
goes OF American goods Is not properly
comparable with the offence OF causing
Inc dtStruCtlOn OF more tndn lUU OF It's
citizens on the high seas.
Two Principles.
The United States Is standing out for
two principles: First. that foodstuffs
be not regarded as contraband Of war
unless consigned to the armed forces of
the enemy. and second. that II the Brit
ish are enforcing a blockade of Ger
many the blockade be In conformity
with the recognized rules OF such opera
tons.
This Government is also demanding
hat there be no interference with nom
co~ntraband goods destined to Germany
via neutral countries. This Is not 81
much of IN issue now because the neu-
trail countries contiguous to Germany
have Issued incorporation DEGREES
which practically prohibit trade with
Germany.
Regarding the first point the British
nswer is that when n Government has.
as has Germany. taken charge of the
foodstuffs In the country there is ne
telling where 10 draw the line between
civil population and the armed forces
Great Britain contends that in "A country
organized for war like Germany II is
impossible to make any distinction be-
tween the civil and the military popula.
tion.
To the second point Great Britain has
replied that her orders in council do not
constitute a real blockade n has
pointed out that any essential difference
Is that they are non-connscatory in ef-
feet. That IL. cargoes held up are not
confscaied but are either purchased by
Great Britain or returned 10 the original
owner. The United States Is asked to
accept procedure in view OF the changed
conditions OF naval warfare.
These questions remain open. The
United States has never accepted the
British view but neither has it found
any means OF bringing the British TO &C
cept the American view. Meantime
cases rave developed under these poll
cies and grounds FOR damage claims
against the British Government are ac-
cumulating.

cloth.
OF the heavier cotton fabrics, cot,
ton gabardinc stands among the first
sellers. This fabric. has high lustr@
and Is very effective. Materials with q
corded effect are used almost more than
anything else for dresses of either
heavy or sheer weight. The lighter
weight first introduced by French and
English manufacturers is called ''filete. "
And. hence. any fabric with . corded
weave. such as voile or crepe are said
to have filete finish. Wolfe is the most
fashionable of the cotton fabrics, be-
cause of its softness and its durability.
Dotted Swiss and marquisette are two
other materials which rank very close
in popularity to voile. Net in black
over white satin or taffeta as well as
white and colored nets are very smart
for elaborate frocks. Pink and blue
nets make delightful evening frocks
| and are trimmed with jet.
The styles of the summer dresses
make it certainty that embroidery
and lace founcing will be used a great
deal in their development. The embroid-
cry fiouncings have background of
voile and crepe as well as very sheer
lawn and batiste. Organdy. too. is en-
broidered and makes light and airy
fiouncing for summer dresses.
The Belgian lace centers are produc-
ing no lace and the French very little,
so most of the imported lace comes
from Plauen or st. GALL Chantilly,
Spanish and Lire lace are among the
more expensive ones, while shadow lace
may be had in wide variety of de-
signs and prices, and its light and deli
cate designs make exquisite frocks for
evening wear.
Belts and girdles are forming an i'm
portant feature on the gowns of to-day.
Some are plain, and of the fabric Of
the dress it is worn with, others are
of contrasting material and embroidered
richly. Some of the girdles are ex-
tended in to what seems like peasants
basques. or wide girdles, lacing up the
back or front, and pointed or rounding,
made of contrasting silk or of velvet.
Ribbons. especially of velvet, are
having strong vogue, as they seem to
belong to the crinoline period from
which so many spring dresses are de-
signed.
The hats of the year continue To
he mostly small, although few large
ones are to be seen, and very smart
they are, too. This vogue for small
hats has made the wells extremely popu.
lar. and they are shown in numerous
styles. The wide floating veil which

shoulders is very becoming and popu-
lar. These are in different meshes.

OF INTEREST
TO WOMEN
A FORECAST OF Spring
AND SUMNER Fabrics
Waists Are Made Severely Plain,
While skirts Are Full ana
Flarins - Belts and Peasants
Basques
New York Feb. 26.

The Spring has variety of styles
which run the gamut Of those we have
had, only in new forms, and those IN
spired by Russia. France. Belgium and
Holland.
The full skirt, however. is without
doubt, first in style. whether inspired
by peasant skirts or Victorian crinoline.
1t may he cut circular. gored with as
many cores rs nine, straight pieated or
gathered, the requirement being that 1t
flares at the bottom.
The Dutch costumes are particularly
suited to the young girl. They often
have a broad strap over the shoulders,
with blouse buttoning straight down
the center front. The skirt is full, with
|, slight bulging at the hips. Sometimes
these dresses are topped with a short
Dutch jacket. White or Delft blue are
favored colors for this style of dress.
Bolero effects are to be seen in waists
as well as in jackets and will. no doubt,
be particularly smart for summer
dresses. Linen. pique and poplin being
materials which viii make up into
stunning little suits with coat on this
style.
Severity seems to be the strong note
for waists, but they must have particu-
lar style, which is, of course. hard to
attain, although it lies greatly in the
placing OF the trimming. Buttons are
all that is considered correct on many
OF them.
The illustration shows dress with
plain but smartlv cut waist buttoning
up the front with cloth-eovered but
tons. The side pieces of the waist con-
tinue on the skirt and form a side
yoke. The completed costume has an
unusual style and charm which is ae.
eentuatcd by tan nrunella cloth in which
il is made.
An extremely cunning little hat is
worn with this dress showing sailor
shape with rather high crown narrow
ing slightly at the top, 1t is made in
sand-colored taffeta and trimmed with
q single baud of chocolate colored vel
bet ribbon. ending in short streamers in
the back. Ii has very good style and
in conservative coed taste. quality
which American women demand before
all others.
The second illustration shows dress
with the ever-fashionable surplice clos
ing waist. The skirt is gored with the
stylish flare at the lower edge and the
waist is cut slightly short. The braid
ing en- the waist and skirt is done with
the round silk braid which is having a
vogue even stronger than the soutache

TIE ART OF Dining
Many People Indulge in the joys OF
