j. S. CHALLENGES
ENCLAND'S RIGHT.
Regulation of Routes OF Neutral
Ships is Attempted.
AN EXPLANATION IS ASKED
The Regulations involve Questions
Which Were Discussed in the
American Mote Sent TO
Germany.

Washington last act OF Great
Britain in a supplemental order-in-
council, which practically undertakes
to regulate the routes OF American
and other neutral vessels on the high
seas, has forced the United States to
challenge her right to make such reg
ulati0ns.
The State Department was startled
and chagrined about week ago to
be informed that the British admiralty
had undertaken to tell American ship
masters and others that they could
approach the Scandinavian countries
northward by way Of the English Chan
mel only on permission through their
foreign representatives. More drastic
than this was the practical ultimatnm
that IL vessels could not get such per
mission they must take the southabout
route west Of Ireland. then up the
Scotch coast and were not to approach
the Shetland Islands 'tby less than so
miles"
These regulations involve questions
which are discussed in the American
note to Germany and which come out
sharply in the incident OF the Ne
braskan. The regulations on their face
are unwarranted restriction, officials
think, on the rights of neutrals in the
open sea. The United States does not
admit the right of Germany to- op
or regulate American trafic In the
English Channel Now the British
government, in addition, assumes to
dictate course for neutrals on the
high seas around Ireland and the re-
mote islands of Scotland.
Ohicials say that no action will be
taken Immediately. as the note to
Ambassador Page on the subject mere
ly asks him TO get an explanation"
from the British government
It is evident, however, that pres
sure has been brought to bear from
some quarter on the United States
to make prematurely an issue with
Great Britain on points which are q
substantial part of the American note
to Germany. 1t has been stated In
very high circles in Washington that
this government did not propose to
make any issue with Great Britain ON
the questions of blockade, rights OF
ships on the high seas, mine areas.
etc, until Germany had answered
President Wilson's note. The present
inquiry, however. appears to operate
in the interest OF Germany. 1t is
thought she may now postpone fur
ther her reply until Great Britain has
been given q reasonable time to an
swer the new American inquiry.

Not within the memory of the Oldest
observer of fashions has there been
q time when women gave SO much at
tention to their footwear, or the max
ers of shoes to their designers.
The new shoes, high or low, for
summer wear are nothing less than
marvels OF workmanship in which
combinations of colored feathers or Of
cloth and leather are wrought into the
daintiest and snappiestof crisp-looking
clothing for the feet. The plain shoe
comes in for little consideration, for
even the utility shoe of tan leather
takes unto itself tips and bands In
deeper shades of tan or in gray, and
revels in decorative stitchings. Also
it laces up at unheard of positions, all.
It must be confessed, to the advan-
tage of the wearer as to the appearance
OF her feet. A fine example of low
shoe of this kind is shown in the
group pictured here.
The other low shoe is designed for
more dressy wear, showing com
bination of black patent leather with
q colored cloth. Beautiful stitching
and graceful shaping IN the empIaoe-
ments Of leather make this gem to
be- considered. The inside lace is

Washington. The course of tho
United States government in the case
of the American steamer Nebraskan,

undetermined because officials are
without definite information as to
whether the ship was torpedoed or
struck mine.
Messages from Ambassador Page

sci had been torpedoed. but officials
noted with much interest the captains

doubt as to whether, the Nebraskan
was hit by a torpedo or a mine.
President Wilson himself read all
the official and unofficial dispatches.
In view of the positive position which
the United States has taken on the
subject OF submarines actively In the
war zone and the delicacy Of the situa-
tion with Germany arising out of the
Lusitania disaster, the story Of the Ne
braskan's experience is awaited with
unusual interest. Should it develop
clearly that she was torpedoed without
q warning an aggravating circumstance
will have been added to an already
tense situation. Notwithstanding the
fact that no lives were lost.

British Admiralty Reports She Was

Whether He Was Attack

London.-The American steamer Ne
braskan, Captain Green, from Liver
pool, May "a, for Delaware Break
water, was torpedoed by submarine
at point 40 miles west-southwest of
Fasnat. off the south coast of Ireland
The sea was calm at the time. The
crew at once took to the boats and
stood by che steamer. 1t was soon
ascertained that the Nebraskan was
not seriously damaged. She had been
struck forward, and her foreholds were
full of water.
The crew returned on board and got
the vessel under way. No lives were
lost among the crew The Nebraskan
did not carry any passengers.
The foregoing information was re-
ceived by the British Admiralty in

Some Of the seasons styles, but not
many Of them, lend themselves to the
remodeling of gowns. Women who
are clever at this work have been
quick to grasp the possibilities Of
those models in which two fabrics are
used for constructing the body Of the
gown.
The difficulty lies nearly always in
widening the skirt. II one possesses
a last seasons gown very wide and
yoluminous as 10 the hips and very
scant as to the hem, 1t is sometimes
possible to simply reverse it. That is,
the bottom of the skirt last year be-
comes the top this year. The fashion
Of wearing yokes to which the lower
part of the skirt Is set ON helps out,
and the vogue for very short skirts is
also to be reckoned with In making
over things.
Other features il the present modes
that encourage remodeling are the use
of wide bands of silk about the bottom
Of skirts as finish, and the introduc-
ton OF two or three bands in the body
Of the skirt. The same silk may
supply new sleeves and part of the
bodice. Wide, loose girdles of silk
that swathe the figure and obliterate
the waist line are good style and win
be for another season, at least.

TALK OF INTERVENTION
Seizure OF Red Cross Supplies Re-
sponsIbie For Reading OF
Riot Act To Rival
Factions.

Washington. n.-Mexico has displaced
the war IN Europe in the attention of
President Wilson. There was made
public at the White House an appeal
from President Wilson to the Ameri-
can public to help the American Red
Cross TO furnish relief to the starving
people IN Mexico
President Wilson, it is understood,
mas come almost to the end Of his long
patience with conditions in Mexico.
and IL Is believed that In a statement
to be issued he win declare that the
present conditions In the factiOn-rent
republic across the Rio Grande have
become intolerable. 1t is perhaps pre-
mature TO say that President Wilson
nas determined on Intervention in the
name Of humanity, but it is certain
that Mr.. Wilson has finally concluded
that conditions In Mexico must change
for the better or must be changed for
the better.
Talt< OF Intervention
Talk OF Intervention, which has
been dormant ever since the European
war diverted attention from the situa-
tion nearer home, was Immediately re-
yived by the White House statement.
Many diplomatists, who interpreted
the latest events as the forerunner of
new policy. thought that intervention
was an Inevitable outcome Of the
situation and that the United States
was paving the way for such action by
notifying the world of it's purpose to
take the step for the sake of humanity.
1'hey pointed out that similar utter
ance had preceded Intervention In
cuba In 1898.
For the present it is understood the
notification to all tne Mexican factions
Of the intolerable state of affairs and
the desire Of the American govern
ment for betterment of conditions
viii be allowed to stand without ex-
PLANTATION, while the relief work of the
American Red Cross is undertaken in
earnest.
