Military Customs Prefaced

 Questioned regarding the method of dealing with military accusations against women in England, the home secretary replied:
 Tn the first place. the accused per son is brought before a tribunal which holds a preliminary inquiry, taking Q summary of the evidence. The accused Is always assisted by a lawyer, and 2 complete record of the evidence. ora and documentary. Is given to the ac' cused, who Is then allowed an inter val to prepare for defense. "If the accused is a woman, the tria always takes place before civil trit- rnal: if man. he has the right te claim trial before a civil court, in. stead of by courtmartial if he Is g British subject. At the trial, whether military or civil, the lawyers for tht defense have the same opportunities efyen the accused in the ordinary course of peace times"

No Parallel

The secretary. said there had been no cases in England precisely similar to that of Miss Cavell, but In cases Of esnionage. where the proof of guilt was indubitable and overwhelming. the sanle traditional privilege was allowed the accused.

Since the war broke out man has
been forced to listen to some exceed
ingly blunt statements about the
primitive strains in his character.
Civilized woman has made star
ting discoveries about men of nations
supposedly civilized, and has con-
demned men especially for their
treatment of women not of their own
tribe or nation.
Woman has found out that man
doesn't have to go to war to be dis
tressingIy rude; and that he will make
a considerable outlay of gaIlantry
only when there is an ample reward
in sight, something as valuable, say,
as the smile of beauty.
The business world belonged. to
man centuries before woman intrud-
ed; it's original careless customs pre-
vail, although woman is no longer a
pioneer in a forbidden land. And no
code of etiquette has any chapter to
cover conduct in business office,
although volumes have been written
about life in the drawing room.

FASHION LOOKS AHEAD, SPIES
OUT SUMNER STYLES
BY Betty Brown.
Although the Easter gown hasn't
yet lost its spring luster, Dame Fash
lion is reveling in the filmy organizes,
the voiles and silks and poplins We'll
be wearing when June roses bloom,
and foresighted women folk are
already planning those cool and airy
gowns warranted to take the heat out
of summer heat-waves.
And how are these summer gowns
being made?
From Nine. ALA Ripley, president
of the Fashion Art League of Amer
lea and prophecies of fashion, got
this style-forecast today for the ben
eft of Day Book readers.
"The basis for summer fashions
will be the 1880 period.
t'It's true, there has been some re-
sistance to this tendency, but the
enemy to these romantic modes seem
to have been put to rout and authori-
tative fashions, the best models, are
based on 183O-styles. This will be
the prevailing note during the sum-
mer.
"The full skirt is, of course, the dis
tinguishing feature of this style
and the full skirt means the fitted
waist, though by no means the wasp
waist, merely a fitted waistline.
CAS- to skirts, the best shaped skirts
in foreign as well as. American design
are CIRCULAR. The only exception
is when the material used is striped"
With the full skirts come Jokes
yokes of all kinds and shapes, Jokes
that are not yokes at all, but wher-
eyer they are placed, or, however,
they are made, they are exceedingly
decorative.
The summer gowns will be short.
