Military Millinery Hit.
A special dispatch received by the
Berlin Tageblatt from Brussels says
the latest craze in millinery, Belgian
soldiers caps, has attained such great
popularity there that the German au-
thorities have had to confscate the
new style of headgear from hundreds
of women and to forbid the further use
Of such caps.
The soldiers wives and sweethearts
had discarded the flags and other ma
tional color adornments and adopted
the caps of cavalrymen and carbi-
neers, which they tilted at a rakish
angle. The fad threatened to create
public nuisance, as the wearing Of
the caps by the women caused out
bursts of patriotic enthusiasm at every
turn. The women took the cOnf1sca-
ton good naturally, the mjlliners be-
ing the only ones to grieve.
A Sea Holdup.
"The captain of the Dutch steamer
Helena has described to me how his
ship was held up forty miles from
Haaks lightship in the North sea by a
German airship which descended near
the sea and hoisted signals ordering
the steamer to heave to-" writes cor
respondent. 'The Helena was over
hauled by the Zeppelin LIS at 10 o'clock
Tuesday morning. It was clear and in
the sunshine the airship was seen at
a great altitude approaching swiftly
from the direction Of the coast and
rocking like ship in a rough sea.
1T flew directly over the Helena,
whose crew distinctly saw fifteen or
twenty persons in three cars which
were connected by covered gangway.
The men wore dark, close fitting tu-
MICS, caps like hoods and goggles.
'aThey watched the Helena through
glasses in kind Of turret in the fore
part of the airship. The crews Of a
quickfiring gun were at their stations,
and the great naval ensign flew at the

signals. returned in the direction Of
