Pensacola, Oct. 20-That three of
the German officers from aboard an
informed German cruiser at Norfolk,
are aboard the American steamer
Zealandia, and that one of them is
now master of the ship, is the in
formation, which has reached here.
The vessel came into Pensacola
harbor week ago under suspicious
circumstances. Her cago and de-
parture were even more suspicious,
and it is the belief that she mounted
cannon after reaching the gulf, and
will be heard from in a short time
as a common destroyer.
She is well-ftted to remain on the
high seas for a long time. for she
carried stores sufficient to feed a
smallsized army for months, while
her bunkers were running over with
coal, and in her hold she carried out
from Pensacola nearly 1900 more
tons
The Zealandia, once a passenger
liner, had been laid up in New York
harbor for the past five years, and
was not brought into use during the
high freight rates, for the reason
that her peculiar construction pro-
hibited her Ee as cargo carrier.
She was bought, however, by some
one and sent to Pensacola.
She came into port supposedly
no cargo aobard, but she was the
first ship ever to enter this port
without cargo that carried bad
list, and when the pilot mentioned
this fact to the captain the latter
gave him a short answer
The German officers disappeared
from Norfolk in a high-poNer boa.
and just about this time the Zeal
andia was passing Norfolk for Pen
sacola II is the belief that through
a prearranged plan they met the
Zealandia and took command, com
ing on to Pensacola.
The master and all officers were
Germans, and most of the crew ot
the same nationality. Those who
were not were not were let out here
and German and Austrian sailors
shipped in their sead

on the top of the page, in huge head
lines, was the question:
Who Is the Author Of When We

THE Publishers Statement"
Clarice devoured the long article
that followed. The publishers an.
nounced that they had received the
manuscript, written in longhand, and
apparently the work of an amateur,
six months before. A cursory survey
had revealed a novel of an uncommon

Clarice let the paper fall. She had
not the dimmest idea of the value of
her book to her. How much was it
worth? A hundred dollars? Two hun

And to reveal the truth she saw
the slow estrangement that must fol-

fntuitively discerned the results of
publicity, her husbands inability to
live the new life that would open be-

to her. And then she blushed
as she thought of that other reason
that bound them together in bonds
that none might break.

She rose from her chair

FACES CHANGE WITH FASHION
Remarkable Transformation to Be
Noted az the Styles of the
Seasons Vary.

Have you noticed how fashions in
clothes and fashions in faces go hand
in hand?
think it was, when the vampire face
was rampant, the mysteriously pulled
down hat completely shadowing the
eyes came in vogue. At this time the
slim, slit, seductive clothes were worn,
and stranger walking along one of
our principal streets must have had
the impression that some dread dis
ease had taken hold of nearly all of
our young girls.
Next year, transformation! The
vampire shed her slinky garments and
sophistication and became the sweet
est little chocolate-eating doll with an
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES expression
on her pretty little pink-cheeked face.
And if you remember rightly it was at
this season that the youthful short
wasted dresses, dainty slippers and
all sorts of fluffy things appeared.
We seem to have reached a normal
condition this season. l have seen
more clear-eyed, red-cheeked, healthy
looking girls in the very sanest
clothes imaginable, than can remem-
Der seeing for a long, long time. If
we could only make the health fad
habit! The clothes are awfully pref
ty this year, and they cry for good
healthy body and fine carriage to fit
them.
If we initiate thing long and hard
enough we must eventually either be-
come that thing or something very
near to it. Hence, If we assume
wholesome, normal expression of face
and body-don't you see what mean?
And doesn't it make you creep to
think of the consequences of having
any but the health fad become in
growing?
But 1 can't decide whether the
clothes make the faces or the faces
influence the clothes. 1 think it's only
another case of the chicken and the
egg.-New York Times.

FULL SKIRT HAS WON PLACE
Not as Yet Fully Adopted, but Many
of the Smart Dressers Have
Taken It Up.

With the short coat and its military
collar the skirt varies, but the full
skirt without a tunic claims prece-
dence in the very smartest models
and is gradually making itself more
and more felt, though for the great
mass of winter frocks and suits the
long tunic in one form or another will
hold good. Paris sponsored the plain
full skirt early in the season and the
later models emphasize the idea, but
the earliest showing here leaned
rather to the tunic models, and Amer
lean women are slow in accepting the
newer skirt.
And yet one sees it worn here and
there wherever smartly dressed wom-
en- congregate, and it is featured more
and more prominently in shops of the
better class. One afternoon during
the American fashion show at the
Ritz Carlton, in New York, group
Of five well-known actresses happened
to foregather on the stairway, and
each Of the five was wearing a version
OF the plain full skirt.
