Washington.-Future American bat

are struck, in the opinion of navy ex-
perts. Experiments which have been
in progress for more than a year have

ships can be sen to the bottom.
The two superdreadnaughts and
two battle cruisers congress has been
asked to authorize this year will be
designed OF this plan. Battleships 43
and A have added interior construc-
ton resulting from the study made of
the question of torpedo defense since
the outbreak of the European war,
but later ships will have even in
creased provisions in this regard.
The experiments are continuing and
officials expect further information on
the subject to be developed. Details
of the work are regarded as confiden-
tial, but it is known that some ex-
perts are hopeful that a type of con
struction will be evolved which will
greatly reduce the effectiveness of
either mines or torpedoes against
heavy ships.

The WelI.pressed Girl.

The sensible girl will prefer the
simplest, neatest, most youthful styles
while she is under eighteen. So many
girls lose a chance to be real beauties
in boyish shirts and neckties and
achieve only a bad imitation Of a lady
of fashion. The girls in fashionable
families have beautiful clothes, but
the beauty is always of color, texture
and finish-never anything startling or
conspicuous. Wells are very bad form
for girls under eighteen. except for
stormy weather; and jeweled combs
or hair ornaments should never be
worn in the daytime.

Reticules for theater use and for shop
ping and utility service are alike luxu-
rious of fabric and expensive as to
frame and fittings. Leather grows
higher in price as the war progresses,
and a leather handbag of satisfactory
quality is rather costly now; so. If one
must pay substantially anyway, why
not pay for a really charming bag of
brocade or understanding that will
add eclat to the costume? This is
what women seem to think. Lovely,

MAKES FOR COMFORT
LITTLE GARMENT AN IMPROVE.
MENT ON SWEATER.
french Idea That viii Be Eagerly
Taken Up May Be Called a Com
~promise-Its Many Advan-
taaes Apparent.

France has invented an admirable
substitute for the sweater, to be worn
in the house on cold days and under
a coat in the street. 1t has saved a
distressing situation. 1t covers the
shirtwaist, completes the suit without
q coat and keeps one warm in the
cold.
A woman who dresses exceedingly
well, and she says that she dresses
on a small income. was the apostle
of this garment to a large number OF
disciples. Hers was of black velvet,
looking like a shapely smoking Jacket
worn by men; 1t went in at the waist
line with a belt and was slightly
touched with ~gold-colored embroidery.
1t fell to about three inches below
the waistline, had long sleeves and
no collar. 1t could be fastened up the
front with silk loops over large but
IONS Of silk braid. The garment is
called a French gilet and is made In
any color.
She wore her black velvet one with
a short skirt of black and gray
checked cloth. Underneath the gilet
was a white, plated silk shirt, the
rolling collar of which was pulled out.
Any woman is quick to see the ad-
vantages of this garment. How often
has one put on a slightly crushed
blouse and then been compelled to
take off the coat in a public place;
even in ones own home in the morn
ing a sweater is wor for warmth,
and yet one cannot wear 1t in the
street under a coat. This little velvet
frock is the compromise between an
informal frock and a white waist and
skirt.
A few of the women who are taking
up the idea are having several made
on the same pattern in different col
ors. Young girls are wearing them
in b%rick-dust red and Egyptian blue
for skating in the afternoon, under
rough homespun trimmed with wide
bands in Roman colors.
In the house these colored. gilets are
also attractive and can be worn with

embroidered; they can have a slight
ornamentation of fine braid. Madame
Cheruit invented them, and they rose
out of the economical situation of the
French women in regard to clothes.

sleeves instead of velvet ones. but the
American substitution is better, for
two reasons; it makes the garment

The best way to warm up a roast of

steam will prevent the meat from be-

some heated through in less time.

PRESIDENT SENDS
FINAL NOTE ON
U-BOAT WARFARE
Continued from Page ~


When he concluded his expression
of hope that Germany would so act
to avert a regrettable break with
America, the assembly broke into
cheers.
1t was 1:14 o'clock when the Pres
fdent concluded. He had spoken just
10 minutes. Applause started from
the Democratic side and the Repub-
1ican members then joined.
Democrats began rising to their
feet, and soon the entire assemblage
was standing. The applause lasted
perhaps a minute and then, as the
President passed out of the chamber,
died away.
Speaker Clark declared the joint
session at end and the Senators
fled out.
The galleries quickly were deserted.
Speaker Clark referred the address
to the foreign affairs committee and
the House resumed its regular bust
ness.
The President this morning discuss
ed the note with Senators Stone and
Lodge and Representatives Flood and
Cooper, ranking Democratic and Re
publican members of the Congress
siona1 foreign affairs committees at a
conference at the White House early
today.
The president explained that the
note is practically an ultimatum but
does not contain time limit A de-
mand is made. however, that Germany

The President went over the situa-
ton very thoroughly with the commit
tee leaders and told them explicitly he
believed the United States could not
remain on friendly terms with Ger

Marines He laid before them all in

to Congress. The demand for a sto 3
to illegal submarine warfare, the Prese
ident told the leaders, is unequivoca1. T
The note went forward last night
in code by way, of Copenhagen. The
President wanted it to be in the hands
of Ambassador Gerard or the German
foreign office when he appears before
Congress.
The members who heard the, Presi-
dent outline it did not understand it
to be an ultimatuIn in the sense that
considered it to have that effect.
Senator Lodge asked the President
about the use of the word 'inInedi-
atelys' in that connection and was told
that meant that Germany should be
given an opportunity to receive the
communication and to make reply
