U. S. EFFECT ON WAR
Whats Odds" Writes German Critic.
"U-Boats VIII Win the, War"

Copenhagen. July Captain Salz-
mann, military critic of the Vossische
Zeitung, of Berlin, devotes a two col
umn article to the military influence
of America on the war. IN which he
says it will be necessary to reckon If
the struggle lasts until 1918. He
states that first and foremost the
powerful influence of American inter-
vention on Germany's opponents and
on neutrals is already evident and that
the effects must not be underesti-
mated.
. He assured his readers that in re-
gard to quality the American soldiers
will not attain the standards of bril-
liance characterizing tile French and
German armies or their talent in lead
ership, finesse in execution and quick
military contribution, like Great Brit
aims will find expression in numbers
and mechanical application of brute
power.
Will Not Affect Results.
II Americas numbers, he writes are
counted upon by the entente in re-
spect of men, artillery and particularly
'aviators incorporated in divisional
lfnits with British and French troops
as Captain Won SalZmann expects the
American forces to be, he says they
will be worthy opponents.
Nevertheless, the Anne ricans will
not affect the results on the western
front. he writes in conclusion, because
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg says
the submarine will force a decision be-
fore they become decisive factor.

Including communications which, ar
irving from the central powers. were

Women Doing Relief Work.
At the time that people are talking
of coalition cabinet to govern Amer
leo thru the war, and discussing its
advantages and disadvantages, one eX-
elusive dreSSmaker has gotten out
what might be called coalition cos
tune, for the woman who is busy do
ing errands for the army or navy re-
lief work.
Every woman in the country is
thinking more of what she will do in
that line this summer, than of social
triumphs as resorts or the bringing
out of a debutante daughter.
There is no women, however friv-
olous she may have been, who has not

by her compatriots if she neglects to
give part of her time to some kind of
service, eve tho she is not capable of
doing much.
The fact that prominent society
women have had their pictures taken
in groups, wearing various costumes
intended for service and that uniforms
have been adopted by enormous
groups of women who have banded
themselves together into leagues of
some kind has given great impetus to
the apparel trade.
Without doubt the whole scheme is
a bit hysterical in the beginning, but
there is a feeling among those who
regard apparel seriously that all this
emotionaIism will settle down into a
severe costume of some kind for the
majority of the women.
Thousands of trousers are worn by
women today without apology and the
public approves. 1t may be that some
form of trousers may come out of this
whole turmoil which will be adopted
by women who work and by women
who go in heavily for sports

Copyright Newspaper city,

An army service suit has been de-
signed by an exclusive dressmaker
for fashionable women, who are
taking it up for sports as well as
relief work.
New York, July ga good many
of the people who make clothes have
had a fling at either whose costumes
or bits of costumery, for the women
who are interested in war work
1t is clever of those who deal in
clothes to exploit such costumery.
They are fearful of a lack~of buying
in these days, and yet, they know that
they must take care of their employees
to prevent them from going into the
hands of the charity organizations. So
they turn and twist in various ways
to produce clothes that will catch the
eye and keep the stream of currency
flowing in its normal channel.
This is a notable act, and every en-
enlargement should be given to it. In
these patriotic days, woman buys
