MEN ARE TO WEAR
DECOLLETTE SHIRT
OF Course Some May Not, Blu the
National Fashion Committee
Think They Ought to.

CHICAGO.-The question of what
the gentlemen will wear this summer
has at last been settled, relieving all
nervousness. News that has been
eagerly awaited the last fortnight and
more was ordered published by the
national fashion committee of the
Merchant Tailors' Association.
Perhaps the most important feat
ure of the costume which is destined
to lead the world of masculine fash
ions is the decollette or lOw-necked
shirt of silk One will or will not
wear with the shirt, according to per-
sonal taste, a loosely tied fourth
hand clasped with a beauty pin.
Mr.. John Spann, secretary of the
central organization of fashion arbi-
tiers, suggested that shantung, rejah
or assam silk will prove most popu-
lar for suit material.

GERMANY TO MAKE
COUNTER PROPOSALS
Reply to United States Will Defend
the German Position Regarding
Submarine Warfare.

BERLIN.-The Italian crisis alb
serbs the attention of public and of
fetal circles here. Little is heard of
the Lusitania case and it is stated
that the German answer to Americas
note cannot be expected before next
Tuesday or Wednesday.
1t would be no surprise if the Ger
man reply, in addition to a defense
of the German position regarding
submarine warfare, and particularly
of its cause for sinking of the LuSi-
tania, with the alleged shipment of
ammunition, should contain propos-
ais which might serve as a basis for
further negotiations with the United
States.
Americas compromise proposal, in
a previous communication, for ces-
sation of submarine and mine war
fare in return for an abandonment
by Great Britain of her starving out
policy, will almost certainly be re-
ferred to. 1t will he pointed out that
Germany's acceptance in principle of
the suggestion is still in force.
1t is not improbable that Germany
also will advance an alternative sug-
gestion that the United States per-
init it's nationals to travel on ships
belonging to belligerents only if the
vessels are certified by the United
States as having no munitions Of war
aboard and that such certified ships
would not be subject to torpedoing
without notice.
Regarding the Gulflight case the
admiralty has reason to believe, it is
stated, that the ship was not dam
aged by a submarine but from some
other canSe
