SINKING OIL TANKER
 J. 5. GuNNERs' TARGET
Last of Sebastion, After Battle in Gale Described
 By Crew.

Newport. May 11.-Captain Fal- coner and thirty-five members of the crew of the British oil tank motor ship Sebastian, which went to the bottom southwest of Man. tucket shoals lightship early yes- terday morning. told oh their arrival here today how the United States gunboat Sacramento used the sinking vessel as 8 target just as she started down, stern first. For eight hours the Sacramento had been racing to port, with the Sebastian in tow, while the latter's crew, aided by tackles, was desperately fighting fire in the engine room, which threatened to spread to the cargo of munitions and fuel oil. At daylight the gunboat's commander saw that the ship could not stand up much longer and orders were given for the crew to take to the boats.
 A heavy sea was running and the ship rolled and pitched, with a great volume of smoke rising above her. In an effort to set away in quick time, Thomas Jones, . British naval gunner. jumped to small boat, which was swamped, and was lost.
 Safe aboard the gunboat, the Rrtttsher's crew saw their nag go under as the Sebastian settled slowly Then a big gun on the Sacramento boomed and second shot drowned the cheering of the men. The ain was fair and in another moment the ship had disappeared from view.
 The Ire, according to Captain Fal- coner, was caused by an overflow of fuel oil in the exhaust pipe in the engine room. It started It o'clock, TuesdaY iiiGht. v tr4ns-AtaaSet0 ilsssr : x. sss1a- ! \ v l lll,ll ll :. stood By dH{af eliS gun boat arr4ved and for ten hours during raging gale and snowstorm. the men battled with the flames and were taken off when it ap- peared that the ship was doomed. After she was taken in tow the crew went back and attempted to keep the fire away from the hold. Four small boats were swept away in the gale.
 Captain F'alconer reported to Com- mandant Bryan, of the second naval district, that the officers and men of the gunboat displayed great heroism in attempting to save the Sebastian. The latter's crew was transferred to a tug and brought here.

Amsterdam. via London. May Ill., A German torpedo boat was badly hit in the battle between German and British destroyers early yesterday morning, according to the Flushing correspondent of the Telegraaf. The correspondent says that a very hot battle took place near the North Him. der Lghtship. Great flames were vis- ible and the firing could be heard in Flushing and elsewhere In Zeeland.
 The Germans passed North Hinder at great speed about 4:20 o'clock, the British pursuing and both sides firing rapidly. One of the German boats was seen to be severely damaged. The British followed their quarry until near mine field off the Flernih coast. the Germans taking refuge in Zee brugge.
 All Thursday night ire signals were being sent up from Zeebrugge and the searchlights were flashing contin- ously.

ALIEN ENEMIES IN CITY
 BELIEVED TO TOTAL 400
Subjects of Germany Who Violate Regulations to Be Interned for Duration of War, Mayor Warns.

The ultimatum, issued yesterday by United States District Attorney Thom- as J. spellacy declaring restricted areas in New Britain where alien enemies cannot even approach with out special permit, has caused no little discussion about the city. both adverse and favorable. A yet the local authorities have received no .ad- ditional information regarding this order and do not know when 1t will become effective or when the United States marshal will arrive to issue permits where possible.
 The question of just how many alien enemies are in New Britain is also a topic for much discussion and as yet there are no authentic figures. Mayor Quigley, however, estimates the number at about 400. He states that, according to tho military census. there are 5000 registered enemy aliens in Connecticut. This state, the mayor figures. has about 100000 inhab- itants. He places New Britain's popu- lation at about 60,000.
 By figuring that there Is at least ono alien enemy for every 150 people in the state, the mayor arrives at the conclusion that New Britain harbors 400 subjects of tho Imperial German government.
 Mayor Quigley added this morning to the statemsnt issued for publica- ton yesterday. that District Attorney spellacy had informed him that any alien enemy who does not obey the orders and who persists In passing through. approaching or living in the restricted zone. contrary to rules, will be arrested and einterned as pris- oner ofwar untM the end of the con- Edic&l Tssss sss sss ss~ kts;,sss. @ .ssSs

Of Interest TO Women
COATS AND SKIRTS FOR AUTUMN.
BY ANNE R1rrENHousE.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
NEW YORK. September Goats and
skirts are not alike even in the most
expensive of the new autumn models.
This verdict by the designers Of cold
weather clothes may please vast ma
1ority Of women, but it will undoubtedly
lead to confusion.
If every woman were an artist in clothes
she would be allowed this laxity Of choice
as to what jacket to wear with what
skirt; but the selection Of clothes is not
an art that is easily learned. although one
often believes that it Is inherited.
Going Back to the Old Ways.
For several decades in our history 1t
was not considered necessary to match
the garments that contributed to an en-
tire costume. When ore-piece gowns
were the rule Of fashion there was not
colors and fabrics. but there was rarely
any marked desire on the part OF women
to harmonic the wrap or coat with the
skirt until the mannish coat suit be-
came the leading fashion of the civil
lied part of the universe.
For over "A quarter Of a century the
Anglo-Saxon woman has looked upon the
suit cut from one piece Of cloth as the
correct tnln8 10 wear. she mas Oruered
as many Of these suits as her purse al
lowed. and she has rarely considered her.
self well dressed unless she owned such
costume and kept it in readiness for
constant service.
At the beginning of the autumn Of 1917.
after twenty-five years of training in one
department of dress, she is asked to con-
slider the new fashion, which is, after ALL
a revival of an old one. She is told that
she can wear a checked skirt of cloth and
a cutaway coat of vevelteen: that she can
add a short jacket OF black satin to blue
and gray plaid homespun skirt. And she
may wear a loose. knee length beige coat
with plain or pleated satin skirt.
You can easily see the danger Of putting
into the hands of the mass of women
such freedom of choice. Let us hope that
the use of self-control shown in choos-
ing coats and skirts of the same mate
rial will guide the majority of women
in the selection Of their new costumery.

beating constantly. When the mixture Is
thick and smooth add several drops Of
vinegar and then add more oil in a thin
stream. There Is no danger at this stage
Of the making that the dressing will sep
arate. At the end add a soup spoon full
Of boiling water. Beat in thoroughly.
This is supposed to make the dressing
lighter and not oily.
: This. of course. is the simplest sort OF
mayonnaise. Our American taste likes the
addition OF mustard and cayenne or pap
rika. These condiments may be added to
the egg yolk at the start Some of us
like little sugar in mayonnaise. and this.
too. may be added at the start. Strained
lemon juice may be substituted for vine
gar. It is the method followed by the
French chef that is Of far more impor-
tance than the ingredients he uses.

APPAREL STRICTLY GERMAN.
Women's Demand for Dress "Inde-

Correspondence OF inc Associated f'rese
AMSTERDAM. August 1o.-In re-
Spouse to the old demand throughout
Germany for a new mode of women's
clothing that shall be entirely German
and absolutely independent OF PaTts.
the Munich Wieland has brought out.
after long preparation. a special sup
plemcnt. entirely German fashions"
containing a series of colored designs
absolutely German in inspiration and
elaboration"
The supplement has attracted wide
attention in the German newspapers.
but almost without exception the criti-
cism is adverse. The Berlin Tageblatt
says: THE illustrations might well be
taken for caricatures. The body from
the waist upward appears far too short
and humpy. the lower part is padded to
appear as an enormity. Bullying pock-
cts: hats too small or too large. falling
over one ear: wide. outstanding collars
and other absurdities complete a figure
from which any rational man would
turn with loathing."
The Tageszeitung and other papers
declare that II this is a fair specimen
OF German genius for designing ladiss'
fashions. German women had far better
depend. as in the past, on Paris.

The sleeveless bodice. which extends
over the waist in straight line. has be-
come so imbedded in the scheme Of
modern dress that it may hold on for sew

guises. Today it is a waistcoat.
The sketch shows a new costume put
out for the autumn which embodies the
three features, the satin skirt, the cloth

skirt is harrow and plain and the coat is

Concerning Mayonnaise.

Mayonnaise eaten at a restaurant where
you know a high-class French chef is
employed always seems far better than
that you make at home. Yet these direc-
tons from a famous French chef can be
carried out successfully by any cook with
moderate intelligence.
To begin with. says the chef. all the
utensils used must be excessively and
absolutely clean. One would think from
what he says that one fieck of dust might
ruin the whole mayonnaise. Then. says
the French cook, have utensils and in
gradients all at the same temperature,
preferably that of the air in the room in
