FASHIONS AS WE SEE THEM The Forthcoming Designs will be Tempered Bit and Quer Tone
 in Dress will Prevail

We arc cosmopolitan in very truth, tor we draw our fashions from every known source. At the moment, the Moycn Age idea is a con spic,ous one. The loosely belted tunic with faring skirt, commonly known as the Redlngote, is an exceedingly graceful and fashionable garment. The Skirt that is best fitted for this garment is narrow in effect, although 1t may include hidden plaits if greater width is de- sired. But wider skirts have come. The cr- cular model is in high favor and paits are used in various interesting ways However, III spite cf the new plats there is certain really clas'l- cal charm about the Aaring tunic over the mar rover skirt that is not to be gainsaid, and thl; combination continues to be favorite one and will be fashionable for considerable time to come
 For the evening, there are wonderful fabrics. and beautiful designs A great deal of velvet, a large variety of lace, and much rich, soft satin are being worn, and, in many instances, the heavy material is combined with lighter in a way that gives wonderful effects. The basqus idea has been developed to make very fascinating little garments. They are basques inasmuch as they are worn over the skirt, but they give no hint of severity, and together with full skirts and full tunics, they produce most charming one that is fairly typical. In this particular instance it is made of the mner velvet that is having great vogue for gowns this winter, combined with soft silk net The full gathered tunic is banded with velvet ribbon and beneath it is a skirt of white char;neuse faced with veves at the lower edge.
 The velvet basque shows all the newest fea- tures-the long sleeves. the neck open at the front with high collar at back, and the elon- gated back, which is held by means of sash with knotted ends For the theatre, or for the informal dance or dinner, this costume is most appropriate, and in its combination of materials and its lines. it indicates the best of the winter fashions The color may of course, be what ever is most becoming or best liked. but the costume reproduced here is of a rich, chestnut. brown velvet and soft. tan-colored net. The effect of the tan-co!ore1 net over the charmelss is very attractive.

GIRLS HURLED TO ROAD

Two women believed by the police
to have been members of a JOY riding
party narrowly escaped death last
evening about 9 o'clock when the tour
ing car in which they were riding
locked wheels with another car on the
River road near Coxestown.
According to witnesses, the car con-
tanning the alleged 10y party" was
speeding in an effort to pass another
southbound machine when its front
wheels locked with third car which
was proceeding north. This car is said
to have belonged to a man by the
name of Myer.
The 10y car" bore license tag 49452,
issued to John II. Wise. of West Main
street, Hummelstown. Efforts were
made over the telephone to get in
touch with Wise, but his wife said he
had not been home last night and she
knew nothing of an accident.
When the machines locked wheels
the rear of car 49452 skidded and
1olted the two women from the ton
neau and threw them to the hard
roadway. The automobile was badly
wrecked. Both front wheels and the
axle were broken. The mud guards
were stripped off and the frame badly
twisted. The Meyer car had a broken
axle and wheel and badly dented mud
guards.
After the accident the women were
hurried away before their names could
be procured

CONTROVERSY OVER
FRYE IS UNSETTLED
Germans Say Course Is Justified
and Reiterate Willingness to
Make Reparation

Washington, d. c., Aug 5. - The
controversy between the United States
and Germany over the SINKING of the
American ship William p. Frye still
remained unsettled with the -publica-
ton to-day of the latest German note
again Justifying the German course
and reiterating Willingness to
make reparation for the ship.
Replying to the last American rep
resentations, Germany, IN Justification
of the sinking of the Frye adheres to
her previous claim that the act was
not IN contravention of the Prussian-
American treaty or international law.
The whole controversy hinges on
article 3 of that treaty, the American
contention being that 1t specifically
protected the Frye from being sunk,
although not protecting a conrraband
cargo. Germany, on the oener hand
contends that the artlcie only obIi-
gates her to pay damages.
In again Offering to pay Tor the ship,
Germany accepts the american pro-
posal that the amount of damages be
fixed by two experts, one to be selected
by each country and pledges prompt
payment with the stipulation, how
ever, that it shall not be regarded as
payment for violation of American
rights Should that method be un-
satisfactory the United States is in
vited to arbitration at The Hague.
It is considered likely that the com
mission method will BE- satisfactory to
the United States provIded. however,
that no treaty rights are waived.

For the Country

The State Industrial Board ad-
journed its session last night at Pitts
burgh TO meet on August IS at PI'ls-
delphia At Pittsburgh yesterday 1b-
iections were voiced to the proposed
boiler code and the board also heard
testimony on the proposition to give
women employees of hotels, restaurants
and hospitals two half-days of each
week off duty rather than one whole
day each week.
Proprietors Of the smaller hotels
argued in behalf of two half-days a
week. while the managers of the larger
hotels wanted the law fixed so that
each woman employe might have
hours continuously away
from duty. This latter contention was
supported by James H. Maurer, 1resi-
dent of the Pennsylvania State Fed
Grafton of Labor.
representatives OF hospitals spoke
for the two half-days, while one en-
tire day was desired by those repre-
senting children's homes and similar

UNFOLDED BY LANSING
Representatives of Latin-American
Republics Asked to Help
in Mexico
WANT RAILROAD OPENED
Next Appeal to Mexican Factions
Will Be Final, 1t Is
Understood
WANT RAILROAD OPENED

Washington. April s. President
Wilson's plan for bringing about peace
to Mexico was unfolded late to-day
by Secretary Lansing TO the diploma
tic representatives of six Latin-Ameri-
can republics, who have been asked
to cooperate in efforts to end the
revolutionary struggle in the southern
republic.
A peace conference to be partici-
pated in by all the Mexican factional
leaders is the Presidents first aim.
This he recently asked for in a COM
munication to the leaders calling on
them to get together in an attempt to
end their strife. The next appeal, II
is understood, will be final and if any
faction refuses, an arms embargo will
follow against that faction. s.
The Presidents plan is also said
to include immediate steps to open ur
the railroad between Vera Cruz and
Mexico City for the transportation OF
food supplies to the starving people
of the capital. Failure of the Mexi-
can leaders to keep open the road, il
was said, might result in joint mill
tary steps by the United States and
the Latin-American nations to that
end.
Participants in to-day's conference
with Secretary Lansing included the
Ambassadors from Brazil, Argentina
and Chile and the three ranking min
listers of the American republics, NAM
ely those of Bolivia, Uruguay and

LABOR FAMINE IS
NOT FEARED HERE
Withdrawal of EurOpe's Thousands
Not Effecting Local
Industries
NO TROUBLE GETTING MEN
Railroad Companies Have En-
ployes on Short Time. They
Explain
No TROUBLE GETTING MEN

Reports of probable labor famine,
should the industries throughout the
United States receive bsg increases in
orders, are not worrying local manu-
facturers.
1t is said that $4,000. 900 more men
are now under arms in Europe than
there are soldiers in time of world
peace. This huge withdrawal Of
workers is forcing Europe to buy
things in the United States besides war
munitions, which at other times IL
would produce at home. 1t is reported
that this drain on the United States
will cause a big slump in available
labor, Notwithstanding that one year
ago there were 100000 idle men
workers.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany employs many hundreds of
foreigners as track hands and in other
the company when the war broke out,
is not denied. However, ~ present,
track hands are not a scarcity in this
section. Superintendent William B.
McCaleb of the Philadelphia Division
said to-day:
I'VE are employing all the men we
need as track hands ana in branches
hired. Even If there snould be de-
mand for more men, it would be
possible to fill the positions without
any hard digging. OF course condi-
tions might arise that would attract
men to other employments, but even
at that there would be little trouble in
filling every position
Because of the depression in rail-
road business the men nave not been
making full time, except at long inter
walls. Should there be a rush of work
on which foreigners or ordinary
laborers are employed 1t would have
to be an unusual increase to neces-
