Birds on Hats.

However, one can criticise the place
ment OF the birds and limit the OPP
portunities for their use. on parasols
the flight of birds is very good, es-
pecially when the -colors are delicate
and the embroidery or applique well
done In millinery there has always
been a chance for a bird. for ever since
women began wearing hats their first
idea has been to stick upon them a
bird or it's feathers or wings in some
ia shion, as a means of ornamentation.
1t would be interesting to know
where in the history of dress this pas
sionate zeal for trimming hats with
birds began, but 1t has lasted with
undated fervor through one or more
centuries Today we do not use the
bird but we are still using its feathers.
The world of millinery has gone in
for plain, untrimmed hats. and the only
break in the severity has been an ar
rangement of wisps of black or yellow
feathers which are called by one name,
but which should be called by another.
The place where birds are brilliantly
used this season, and where they gain
the respect and admiration Of the critic.

EXCEPT IN
ITALY, NOT IMPORTANT

The Austro-G Germans have renewed
In great. strength their effort to pierce
the Italian line and debouCh upon
the plains of Venetia, in the region of
Rassano. In fierce fighting around
Monta Aseolone, the enemy again
suffered severe losses and several
times was repulsed. Reinforcements
liz large numbers were brought up
and the Italians were compelled to
give ground, The fighting lasted
throughout Tuesday and according
to the German war office. more than
1000 Italians were made prisoners.
Likewise, along the southern reaches
of the Piave river, the invaders and
the Italians are engaged in heavy
fighting. A crossing of the Old Piave
or pontoon bridge was successfully
carried out by an enemy detachment,
but the Italians drove the Teutons
back to the waters edge later.
The fighting on the other fronts
still remains below normal, although
the artillery duels on various sectors
continue intense. The artillery actiy-
ity between the French and Germans
III Champagne and in the mountain
GUS regions near the Swiss border is
Increasing in volume, probably fore
casting infantry attacks at an early
date.
Again the losses to British shippipg
through mines or submarines shows a
decrease. According to the weekly
statement of the British admiralty.
seventeen merchantmen were sent to
the bottom last week as compared
with twenty-one the previous week.
French shipping suffered only the
loss of one vessel during the week,
and this small one of less than / 500
tons
An enemy submarine, however. has
torpedoed and sunk in the Mediter-
fahean sea the old French cruiser
Chateau Renault, which was being
used as transport. The submarine
Whlch fired the fatal shot was itself
destroyed The soldiers aboard the
Chateau Renault were saved but ten
members of the crew of the vessel
were lost

crew commanders, caused the depart
ment of commerce to issue instruc-
fellow the directions of their naval
associates in every instance, where
they are prompted by military neces-

Attention is called to the need for the
strictest discipline in war time and to
the necessity of enforcing particularly
sobriety among the men.
The navy's recent insistence on
manning all naval ships with naval
reserves grew out of an alleged lack
of cooperation by merchant captains
and an absence of discipline among
merchant crews. Seamen, the navy
contended, were permitted to come
aboard ships in foreign ports drunk,
endangering the ships on their return
through the submarine zone.
An arrangement now has been
reached between the navy and the
shipping board providing for the
manning by the navy of all transports
all ships carrying supplies for the
army and the navy and all vessels
carrying whole cargoes of munitions
Operation by merchant crews is left
to passenger ships and to vessels car

cargoes.
The whole controversy as to opera

to officers that she killed her son,
John Q. Bush after he had killed his
wife's son earlier in the day, Sunday,
and disposed of the body by boiling II
In lye. The confession was made at
the inquest into the death of the boy,
Ira, II years old.
The murder of the boy was brought
to light yesterday when Mrs. Bush
told officers Bush had killed his Wife }
son in a rage because the boy had
stolen a sum of money and then had
made her help boil the body in lye to
hide the crime. A daughter of Mrs.
Bush visited the home Sunday, the
day of the murder, and after viewing
the hloodstains on the wall, reported
the fact to the authorities who began
an investigation. Bush was reported
as having fled to the mountains,
Killed Son Through Fear.
Mrs. Bush, in an alleged confession
of more than 1900 words in length,
says she was compelled to witness the
murder of the boy and forced to as
sist Bush in disposing of the dismem-
bered body. After the murder, the
confession says, Bush went to his
room, taking the axe with which he
had chopped to pieces the body of his
son, and went to sleep.
AS Bush slept, his mother, fearing
Bush would kill her when he awak-
ened, entered the room and killed
Bush with the axe, chopping the body
to pieces and boiling it in lye, then

was taken were received for the most

General Gorgas' one proposal that
remains to be acted upon Mr.. Baker
SAID, is that regarding the establish
ment OF observation camps in which
snail be gathered all new drafts of
recruits for a period of two weeks
before the men pass into their COM
pany organizations at the training
camps.
Ihe surgeon general believes that
during this two weeks segregation

sipie to prevent the communication
OF epidemic diseases to the troops in

time to develop ana men found to
have measles or any other COM

Plan Not Determined.
Mr.. Baker said action was deplayed
pending decision as to the wisest
course to pursue in establishing the
observation camps. 1t may be neces-
sary to establish one camp in con-
nection with every divisional training
center or, on the other hand, to build
several great observation camps at
suitable points throughout the coun-
try where recruits would be held
during the two weekperiod, to be dis
tributed later to the training camps

PLANTATION of the operation Of the navy
supply department by Rear Admiral
MCGOWAN, paymaster general, marked
the opening today of the inquiry by a
house subcommittee into the navys
war activities.
The subcommittee adjourned to-
night without fixing any time for re-
suming the hearing and probably will
not meet again until after Christmas.
Representative Britten of Illinois
asked Secretary Daniels whether the
department had received any COM
plants from Vice Admiral Sims COM
manding American naval forces in
the war zone. The secretary said the
question was improper and that mess
gossip" should not be banded about,
but he added that Admiral Sims had
been given everything possible that
the navy could give.
Sims Has First Call
Later when Admiral MCGOWAN was
called to the stand he submitted an
order issued by him some months ago
directing that Admiral Sims requests
for supplies h. acted upon on the
same day they were received.
We have 424 ships in course of
construction" Secretary Daniels told
the committee. That does not in
clude submarine chasers, of which we
are building $50, and does not include

Included in the 424 ships he said,
were battle cruisers, battleships. scout
cruisers, destroyers. fuel ships, gun
boats, hospital ships, ammunition
ships, sea-going tugs, mine sweepers
and submarines.

amounting to S1,034, 100000 for the

Secretary Daniels said the navy
now had more than 1000 ships in
commission as against 200 two years
ago, and an enlisted personnel OF 2S0.-
