GAY COLORS
Should be Worn by German
Women in Order to Cheer
Soldiers.

BERLIN, July N.-"What Is the
proper style OF dress for women to
wear In war time?
This is the puzzling question that is
being discussed widely In Germany
and Austria In order to get some
idea OF the sentiment regarding this
matter, the Pragre Tagblatt. leading
German newspaper in Prague. pub
fishes a symposium giving the opin-
ion of German women-arttsts, au-
thors, singers. actresses and dress
makers Among those who sent their
opinion to the newspaper are Alice
Trubner, we'll known artist OF Karls-
rhue; Anselma Heine, successful
writer of best sellers; Crete Metsel-
Hess, authoress and social reformer;
Lilly Hafgren-Waag opera singer;
Lucie Hofich, of the Deutsche thea
ter, in Berlin, and numerous other
prominent women.
The sentiment practically is unani-
nous that black should be eliminated
in feminine attire Frau Trubner
urges that bright, not gay, colors BE
chosen for gowns and hats, SO that
when the i'll and wounded soldiers
return home they be not depressed by
the predominence of somber co1ors.
Black, 1t is argued, is Oppressive.
Despite the large number Of dead and
wounded. the feeling OF confidence in
ultimate victory should be reflected In
the dress Of the women. Black would
discourage even the optimist, and to
keep up the spirit of the people 1t Is
suggested that variegated colors be
chosen-not gay or frivolous-but
bright and hopeful.

pirates known to history.
After the Phoenicians, the Aeginetes
and then the Cretans assumed domin-

but it remained for the Inhabitants OF
the island Of Rhodes to create, digest
and promulgate the first system OF
maritime laws of which we have any

the success they attained, their code
has always been referred to as the
"cradle of maritime law" Nevertne-
