Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK, June s.-The frock
sketched today was caught by the art
list when It'll was worn at a fashionable
afternoon Wedding on Long Island. AT
first glimpde. it is quite plain and does
not present any new touches. but when
taken in detail 1t is pleasing to the
woman who wants to dress simply
1t is far from commonplace. 1t has
several features which the French de-
signers tried to incorporate into their
gowns last spring but were not sue
cessful in doing.
For one thing, there is the collar
that is fiat in front and rises to stand
out from the shoulders like a medtci
ruff. For another thing, there are the
short sleeves that are caught up with
a buckle far above the elbow and mare
out into a short RUNE; and for third
thing, II one wants novelty. there IS
the so-called pendant girdle. name
which it gains from the three long
loops which hang from the three
buckles at the waist line.
A whole chapter on the modern fash
ions could be written about the new
ornate g;rdle An unusual amount OF
time and ingenuity has been expended
on this waist decoration. Whether
France or America gave the cue, no
one knows; but 1t has been followed by
every designer, expert or otherwise in
this country.

Sashes That Are Bustles.

The accumulation of the girdle was
probably due to desire to reinstate
the waist line as a sharp contrast to
the rest of the figure; somehow, the
Victorian waist did not materialize,
although the new corsets were pinched
in at the sides to give it chance and
sashes and girdles and leather belts
were brought out.
Some Of the French dressmakers
were SO confident that the accumulated
waist would come into fashion that
they created the folded girdle, which
ended in so large a bow at the back
that it resembled a hustle.
Other French dressmakers made
fashionable the cravat belt to outline
the waist, placed over a tight bodice
which was cut to a long point which
dropped down on the skirt.
The leather people. who are having
things quite their own way this sea-
son, with the introduction of hats and
skirts and coats of that fabric, in
stantly caught at the idea of ornate
girdles and flooded the shops with

with tiny pin tueks and Achu edged
with lace. The sleeves are three-quar-
ter or full length. Those in full length
are gathered into a fitted CUT.

they looked straight at each other and

Digger.

are worn in the morning. Instead of
one large buckle, they are usually
fastened with three or four small ones,
which are Of dull silver, smoked pearl
and gilt.
Colored Leather for Linen.
To keep women from Directing to
the negative tone of natural linen and
pongee. the dressmakers have added
wide belts of blue leather to suits
and frocks Of the former materials.
II the collar is high, it is fastened with
three small pearl buckles. and the belt
is treated in the same manner. 1t is
easy to see how this novel addition
brings up linen to conspicuous smart
ness.
Colored belts of all kinds are con-
sidered fashionable. In the gray gown
sketched today, the girdle is Of yellow
velvet.

VILLA PLANNING AN
 ATTACK ON TORREON
FIVE AMERICANS AND ONE FOR EiGNER REACHING FL PASo SAY
 HE WAS AT JIMlNEZ.

EI Paso, Tex.-Five Americans and one other foreigner, who arrived here from Parra1 by way of Torreon, re- ported that Torreon was about to be attacked by Villa forces.
 The refugees said Villa was at Jimi- neg when they left Torreon three days ago. A large force of Villa forces was expected to approach Torreon from the south at the same time Villa moved on Torreon from the north.
 The Americans also confirmed the death of Howard Gray, or Weeks, at Parral. He was the only American killed, they said The Americans in the party included D, Thomas Flanna- gan, Jacob Myers, Adam Schaefer, W. c. Palmer, Julio Sinner. A Swiss citi- zen also came to the border with the party They left Parral ten days ago. They said everyone in Parral was ex- pecting Villa attack and many refu- gees were leaving for the border. All of the Americans who were in Parral at the time Villa occupied the town on November 5 have now been accounted for, four having come to the border by way of Culiacan, Sinaloa.
 Edgar Koch, acting German vice. consul at Parral, also accompanied the Americans. He was robbed of $50,000 worth of silver bullion at Santa Ro- salia by Villa followers on October 27, he said.
 Carranza troops were preparing to evacuate Parra1 when the refugees left there for the border on December 13, one of the Americans in the party said The Villa force under Jacinto Hernandez had left the town about De cember 3, he said. but was expected to re-enter the town soon after the refugees left for the border.
 At Jiminez the Carranza troops were at the railroad station preparing to leave for he south and eYacuate the town to the Villa forces, which were near, the refugees said.
 Government agents received re- port that Villa was at Jiminez in person and was preparing to move on Torreon at once with his northern command, cooperating with rebels cooperating ir the Laguna district near Torreon.
 The Carranza garrison in Torreon was said by these government agents to number less than 1000, while Villa had several times that number of men, it was said.

EARLY MEETING ID
 TALK PEACE TERMS
GERMANY'S ANSWER TO PRESl- DENT WILSON'S NOTE WAS
 TRANSMITTED TO GERARD.
SELECT A NEUTRAL COUNTRY
Task of Preventing Future Wars, the Official Statement Says, Can Be Be- gun Only After the End of the
 Present Stuggle.

Berlin.-Germany and her allies Austria Hungary, Bulgaria and Tur- key-replied to the note of President Wilson in which he asked that the belligerent nations state the aims for which they were fighting. The propos- al is made by the central powers that a conference of the delegates of all the belligerents be held immediately in neutral city. The task of prevent ing future Wars, the official statement says, can be begun only after the end of the present struggle.
 The text of Germany's answer 10 President Wilson's note was trans mitted to James W. Gerard, the Amer ican ambassador
 The answer, which also contains the reply of Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey, says:
 "The high-minded suggestion made by the president of the United States of America in order to create ba- sis for the establishment of last ing peace has been received and con sidered by the imperial government in the friendly spirit which was express ed in the presidents communication.
 "The president points out that which he has at heart and leaves open the choice of road.
 "To the imperial government an inn mediate exchange of views seems to be the most appropriate road in order to reach the desired result.
 "It begs, therefore, in the sense of the declaration made on December 12, which offered a hand for peace nego- tiations, to propose an immediate meeting of delegates of the belligerent states at a neutral place.
 "The imperial government is also of the opinion that the great work of pre- venting future wars can be begun only after the end of the present strug- gle of the nations.
 'It will, when this moment shall have come, be ready with pleasure to collaborate entirely with the United States in this exalted task"
 The answer of the central powers concludes with the usual diplomatic terms of politeness.

ANOTHER VICTORY

BANDIT REPORTED TO HAVE GAP. TURED SAN LUIS POToSI-
 THINK TAMPIco OBJECTIVE.
FEAR FOR CHIHUAHUA CITY
Villa Reported to Be Between Torreon and Chihuahua City, Preparing to Launch Another Attack-ken-
 tuckians Take Precautions.

Fl Paso, Texas.-A report was re- ceived by sources known to be close to Francisco Villa and by government agents saying that Villas forces cap tured San Luis Potosi. Many foreign CTS who left Torreon before Villa at tackled that town recently went to San Luis Potosi. No details were available.
 San Luis Potosi is southeast of Tor reon on the National Railroad between Auguas Calientes and Tampico. Tam pico is believed to be Villas objec- tive, in order to obtain port through which he might import arms, ammu- nitien and supplies. Villa was report ed to be between Torreon and Chi huahua City and was said to be pre- pairing to launch an attack against Chihuahua City soon.
 Tn anticipation of this attack, Gen Francisco Murguia was reported to have ordered Gen. Francisco Con- gales, former commander in Juarez, to proceed south with his entire brigade to re-enforce the Chihuahua garrison. Gen. Murguia also requested all of the available troops from his brother, Gen. Jose Murguia's command in Chihua- hua, to strengthen the force at the state capital.
 A Mexican, who claimed to have de- serted from the command of Mariana Tamez, a colonel in Villas army, ar rived here and said Tamez was east of Villa Ahumuda, 83 miles south of Juarez, with column of 400 Villa fol lowers. This force was believed to have been the one reported to be ope- rating south of Juarez.
 Firing in the vicinity of the Third Kentucky outpost near the border caused another general alarm at the camp of the First Battalion of this reg iment, following an exchange of shots by Mexican snipers and three soldiers of the battalion Sunday night Inves- tigation developed the fact that the firing occurred on the Texas side of the Rio Grande, where a Christmas dance was being held by Mexicans.
