GERMAN 15-INCH GUNS HAVE
GREATER MORAL THAN
MATERIAL EFFECT

London, Feb. .-Bombardment
by German long range 15inch guns
has greater moral than material
effect on the towns bombarded,
writes correspondent from France.
This is due to the great amount of
waste space in towns, for a shell has
just as much of chance of hitting
a vacant lot as building. The Ger
mans, themselves, in the opinion of
the writer, know how little material
damage their shells do, for after
shelling these towns, they generally
follow up with an air raid But they
know its moral results.
In the extreme range firing, the
Germans fire only when the wind is
favorable to them. The noise of the
great shell is distinctly trying on the
nerves of the people. AS open towns
lie good distance back of the
French lines, the Germans get their
naval guns well forward, with the
result that they are usually sought
out by the French guns.
The main drawbacks of these bonn
bardments of open towns is. from the
German point of view, their expense
These great shells run in price up to
several thousand dollars each.
Ole lesson of the war is that it
costs more to destroy a village than
to build it. At one point the Ger
mans battered viaduct to pieces
VITA 17-inch and 9-inch howitzers.
This cost them nearly sixty giant
shells and countless 9-inch shells, to
say nothing of a rain from field guns
The viaduct cost $4,000 to build
French officers estimated the price
of its destruction at over 100000.

E1HE new clothes from Paris are
here In abundance.
No one who is at all interest,"
ed In styles. even from afar; no
one who insists upon having new
clothes or making over old ones for
the first frosts: no one who has a dress
making establishment or runs a shop,
can fail to regard the output of Paris
at this season Of the year as most
important event.
The openings in New York are be-
ginning among the shops that cater to
the midseason trade. and they have
been going on for two weeks behind
closed doors to the hundreds of Amer
lean buyers who have flooded the city
to find out what the importers have
brought from Paris and what the man.
ufacturers of ready-to-wear garments
are Offering as adaptations of early
French styles.
You probably know that there are
two sets of fashions each half year.
The manufacturers cannot walt until
the latter part Of September to show
their vast assortment of reasonably
priced garments, so they bring over
their clothes the first Of August
The shops and dressmaking houses
that cate: to the individual with money
wait until the last week Of September
or the first week Of October to have
their openings.
The manufacturers cater to the shops
and dressmakers who must show their
goods by the end Of September. The
other class Of importers waits for the
get its orders underway the first Of
October.
This is pleasant and agreeable
division of work. The woman who
tailored suit and wants to put it on
during the middle of September can
feel that she Is reasonably assured Of
enough fashion in the suit to last her
until Christmas: and the woman who
wants to pay $3.50 for a gown and does
not care for it until the end of October
has the chance to choose from the lat
est things from the great French
houses which have not been copied in
this country.
This division of work may be more
clearly defined by word of mouth or
stroke Of pen than 1t really Is. be-
cause there is no doubt that France
overlaps her designs from June till
turer almost the identical thing that
she offers to the buyer for the highest
class dressmaking house on 5th avenue.
The question is often asked why the I
gowns shown in America are constant
ly replicas of one another. when Paris
offers something over 1000 from which
to choose. The answer is in the stars. |
The truthful person who says to the
head Of smart house that she has
seen a certain gown at ten different |
places before is always greeted with |
surprised stare and a look Of in
credulity. And yet the buyers are very
apt to know what each has, and |
invariably they come back from Paris |
with the same gowns, not even gam
bling on the chance Of pleasing the |
public with something different.
The French dressmakers shake their |
heads in dispair over this condition

Judgment on the styles in two weeks
are very apt to decline the extra-ful

next two months toward the first en-

1t Is the belief of those who are be-
hind the scenes that France in taking
up the empire and directoire styles put
more fullness into the skirts than was
necessary from an artistic viewpoint,
because more material would be used,
the price would be higher and the man
ufacturer would be pleased.

The difficulty of getting any Of the
French fabrics, even in France, may
compel the copyists in this country to
narrow the skirts by yard or two,
and If they do this they will bring
them into harmony with the bodices.
