LEADING PAPERS,; WANT
COMMANDER PUNISHED.

The Hague, Feb. 5.-Dutch news
papers, both pro-German and anti-Ger-
man, are unanimous in demanding
from Germany a prompt explanation
Of and PREPARATION for the torpedoing
Of the Dutch tank steamer Artemis by
German torpedo boat in the North
sea.
The newspapers call for punishment
of the German commander who was
responsible for what is described as q
violation of law and an unjustifiable
act Of war against The Netherlands.
The Vaderland asks what the Brit
ish feet was doing while conspicu.
ously colored German torpedo boat
flotiIla was calmly cruising the busiest
steamer track between the Hook Of
Holland and the Noordhinder light
ship.
The Nieuwe Courant treats the case
as breakdown of the "vaunted Ger
man organization and discipline
which it says, seems urgently to need
improvement, especially from the
viewpoint Of the safety Of lives and
property of neutrals. It demands COM
plete pecuniary ana political satisfac-
ton from Germany.

PLENTY OF FOOD
AT TURK CAPITAL

Berlin, Feb. b.-The American am
bassador at Constantinople, Henry
Morgenthau, who has arrived at Ber-
lin on his way to the United States,
said In an interview today as given
out by the Overseas News agency that
the situation in Constantinople was
almost normal and there was no scar
city Of food.
The ambassador said the new ex-
press service between Berlin and Con-
stantinople was, excellent and that the
train compared fayorably with the
best In America.

frocks, suits and hats. But, leaving
aside these flattering elements, there
is really more of beauty and smartness
in this seasons styles than we have
had for many year.
Ostrich Trimming on Frocks.
Fur is still the smart trimming for
all garments. and it promises to re.
main in favor we'll into the spring.
There is already hint here and there,
however, that designers and manufac-
an attractive successor. In one Of the
smart shops the other morning most
attractive afternoon dress was display
ed; it was made in Russian effect, was
very simple, and sparingly ornamented
the only trimming, in fact, being
bands Of ostrich in the same shade OF
blue as the dress, edging the high,
standing collar, the cuffs and the lower
edge Of the blouse peplum. The effect
was pleasing and perfectly appropriate
for the warmer weather.
trimmings for Spring Hats.
Whether ostrich as trimming for
hats will be favored to any great de-.
gree, is still question; that it will be
used considerably, as in the past
season or two, for fancies, odd little
stick-ups, balls, rosettes and similar ef-
fects, on the chic small hats which are
being introduced as first models Tor
spring, has already been confirmed.
Many handsome hats are being shown
this season. The new braids are most
ly shiny; glace effects will predomin-
ate, although one sees some effective
dull finished hemps and tagals. A new
glace braid from Paris resembles moth
ing so much as the scales Of fish, and
it is appropriately named "fish-scale'
straw. Some flowers will be used on
the new hats, and quantities OF ribbon.
The new colors in millinery are, gen
orally speaking, black, which is quite
as strong as ever, geranium-pink
absinthe, polished gold, mint green and
baby chick; the last charmingly sug.
gestive title.
Among the attractive millinery no.
tons being displayed in the shops, and
worn at the southern resorts, are sets
consisting Of hat, handbag and collar.

New York, February - The dress

strong hold on us, one and all. Our
shop windows present wonderful
changes each day, and our avenue has
become veritable Kaleidoscope of at

Perhaps it is the opening OF the new

many who have beautiful hair are
contributing to the war fund by selling
their locks, according to Mrs. Frances
Bode, who today is canvassing here
to sell the braids Of two sisters in

of Germany, cutting of girls hair as a
means of contributing to the war fund
