100 BATTLEPLANES EQUAL
To $4,000 TROOPS

"One hundred battle planes could
carry three-inch guns, and the muzzle
of 100 three-inch guns is equal to the
energy and destructive power of co.
900 soldiers" stated Rear Admiral
Bradley A. Fiske, recently in a sug-
gestion addressed to Alan R. Hawley,
chairman of the Aero Club of Amer
ica's Central Committee on Aeronau-
tics.
"The battleplane," continued Rear
Admiral Fiske, combines the power
and mobility which is needed for mil
itary operations in higher degree
than any other weapon used in army
warfare. The quickest way to pre-
pare the defense Of the United States
against invasion is to develop the
large and powerful battleplane. The
unit in all armies is the soldier and
his musket.
"We seem tied down to that slow
and feeble little unit. But are we
really? Is there no device by means
of which large units of power can be
carried and which is not subject to
the limitations ofspeed and size that

New SIp-on frocks the
Essence Of Simplicity
THEY ARE MADE WITHOUT FAS-
Jennings OF ANY KIND. IN
TERESTING SUMMER LIN
GERIE.

New York. July 23.-There is
something new under the sun in
feminine attire! The agitation for
simplicity in dress which has been
interesting certain designers and
many women of fashion is response
BILE for a new type of frock which is
adjusted without buttons, hooks and
eyes, snaps or any kinds of fasten-
ings. This sounds almost fabulous,
but it is easily explained. These
dresses slip on over the head, and the
opening at the neck and the adjust
ing of the waistlire ~ ar elastic per-
nit the slipping off and on to be an
easy matte The ele site gives and
the neck opening is sufficiently large,
so that it requires no special feat of
agility to get in and out of these
dresses, as was the case with some
of the very first types of slip-on
frocks.
If you have the least doubt as to
the smartness of such frock look at
the dress pictured here. Certainly
you would never suspect it of being
differently constructed from any 9TH
err of the smart, simple dresses that
are now in vogue! The model above
is developed in black satin with a
white satin collar, and facings of
white satin for the long pocket ex-
tensions at the sides of the skirt. The
belt of black satin is adjusted sep
artively wore the casting on which the
dress is drawn up at the waistline.
Although the lines of dresses have
been absolutely straight, for the most
part. the bouffant effect at the hips
seems to be growing in Importance
more and more. Sometimes it is ac-
quired by soft drapery cleverly
handled, and sometimes by pocket ex-
tensions as in the model shown here.
Summer Lingerie.
There is a great deal of interest in
lingerie, even though it is long past
January, the month that is usually
devoted to thinking about it. Now
adays, there is so much that is at
tractive in new lingerie that in early
summer the shops display as many
tempting things in the line of lin
gerie as it is their rule to do in the
first month of the year. French un-
derwear is the thing this season, and
every one knows how utterly charm

with the object, says the writer, of
throwing dust into the eys of the
French and Russian governments.
Later, when it became known that
England would not remain neutral,
DR.. Won Bethmann- Hollweg wished to
withdraw, but it was too late. Herr
Haase's reference, adds the Times
informant, was well understood by
the majority of his hearers, for the
subject was discussed in the Reich
stag Budget Committee eight weeks
previously and created great SEN
sation.
The government was challenged to
deny the story, but did not.
In his address to the Reichstag
Herr Haase attacked the govern
ment's foreign policy and demanded
immediate peace negotiations.

SAYS WORLD WAR
PLANNED In COUNCIL
LONDON TIMES TELLS OF MO-
MENTOUS TEUTON CONFER
ENCE JULY 5, 1914.

London, July 28.-An article char
acterized as difficult if not impos-
sible to doubt" regarding the origin
of the war, is published by the Times.
The writer recalls reference to the
speech of the Reichstag last week by
Hugo Haase, leader of the Socialist
minority, as reported in the Leipsiger
volkes Zeitung to the meeting July
s, 1914, as one of the things which
must be explained before the origin
of the war is fully understood.
According to the Times informant,
this will probably become the most
famous date of that fateful month.
He says a meeting was held at Pots
dam, those attending being the en-
peror, DIR. Won Bethmann-Hollweg,
Admiral Won Tirpitz, General Won
Falkenhayn, DR. William Won Slumm,
undersecretary for foreign affairs;
Archduke Frederick of Austria, Count
Won Berchtold, Austrian foreign min
lister, Count Tisza, premier of Hun
gary. and General Hoetzendorf.
They decided all the principal
points of the Austrian ultimatum to
be dispatched to Serbia. Eighteen
days later it was recognized that Rus
STA probably would refuse to submit
and that war would result. but the
meeting definitely decided to accept
that consequence.
The emperor then went to Norway

culties are expected in the matter OF
keeping our first million men re-
cruited to the authorized strength
once the first and second increments
of a half million each are raised I'M
der the CONSUMPTION act. Baker pc
Ieves there is no statutory bar to
going on with the CONSUMPTION for
depot battalions from which the gaps
in the first million men will be filled
up.
That indicates the size of the prob
lem the United States is facing. But
the details Of the plans as told today
make it evident that the prepared
ness will be adequate.
Further, these details show that
many more men will be in France than
have been counted and at avery much
earlier date than has hitherto been
expected.
This will go with all the equipment
needed for modern warfare.
Baker made this plain today when
he explained to the correspondents,
for instance, that the item in the
budget for more than $2,000,OO0'O0O,
labeled "coast defense armament in
reality means heavy artillery e..
We have stuck" said Baker, ITO
the old designations with regard to
ordnance. Coast defense armament
means everything bigger than g.
inch cannon"
He merely smiled when asked II
the guns to be made with this money
are to be sent to France.
Thus, while all preparations are be-
ing made for life-and-death strug-
gle. the war chiefs talk today as If
they felt that our first blow would
be so telling that the United States
will never have to go much further.
They do insist, however, that this
first blow will demand the maximum
of sacrifice and effort.

Close Your Ears to Rumors.
The people of this nation can ex-
pect to hear rumors galore concerning
war activities. These rumors will be
alaming and absurd. Most of them
will have their inception in disloyal
minds and circulated for the purpose
of discrediting our government OF
weakening the morale of the nation.
There will be rumors of disasters on
land and sea to our troops and there
will be hints of disaffection among
the citizens and soldiers concerning
the draft. with intimations Of oppo-
sition, organized and unorganized.
The newspapers are carrying the
news of the war; all the news that can
be published with safety to the ma
tons interests. 1t has been proven
since the war started that the news
dispatches circulated by reputable
agencies like the Associated Press are
dependable. Do not waste time us
tening to baseless reports originating
with mysterious travelling men from
New York or contained in mythical
letters from foreign lands.

Washington. July 27.-Reassur-
ances of the most startling character
were today revealed in confidence to
newspaper correspondents by Secre-
taries Daniels and Baker.
The men who have been covering
these departments have for several
days been impressed with an indefi-
mite sort of pessimism. Today the
two secretaries laid the cards on the
table, or, rather they permitted the
corresponds to look over their
shoulders. AS result, almost every
correspondent came away with this
impression.
'The United States has an ace in
the hole
SO striking are the hands which the
two combatant cabinet officers are
holding that the correspondents made
strong plea to print some of the de-
tails. For the present this has been
refused. But a conference of the
military chiefs will be held within a
few days, and as a result the Ameri-
can people may have set before them
frank statement of how their lead
ers have prepared the way for them
to go to war.
This much can be said:
Where many observers have looked
for the greatest difficulties, the most
remarkable progress has been made.
Further, preparations are on scale
the completeness of which has hither-
to only been hoped for.
The two secretaries permitted
themselves to be subjected to a
searching series of questions. To al
most all they gave frank answers
with the injunction that their an
swers must not be made public. To
some questions they refused to an
swer.
Baker made it plain that no diff

At every turn these days one is
confronted by numbers of beige and
sand-colored dresses. These are in
the lightweight wool fabrics, chiefly
gabardine, wool jersey and the very
closely knitted fabrics. 1t is very sell
dom that there are not trimmed with
soutache, beads or the machine chain
stitch embroidery, and in most cases
these trimmings are in self color.
Sometimes contracting color appears
however. and dark red is one of the
most effective against sand color.
When dresses of this type are not
trimmed with embroidery in any of
the popular froms, their ony finish is

and sometimes a patent leather or

address on Food Production and Food
Preservation. If I should choose a
text, he said, it would be the seven
years Of plenty and the seven years OF
famine in the time of Pharoah.' In
early days people got their food as
they could; berries from the fields,
flesh of fish or fowl. Later. food be-
gan to be reserved. Now we have in
the world just enough food to last Sne
and one-half years and we look for
ward to scant wheat crop. 1t is UP
to us to produce more. The first peo-
pie who need feeding are we of Con-
necticut. We must produce five times
what we usually do just to feed our
selves
Forty to fifty million people in Eu-
rope are withdrawn from productive
pursuits. War is destructive Of men,
machines and food. Now in this coun-
try is the demand for ships and a food
supply. Contracts for food for next
winter cannot be made by our retail
or wholesale groceries. One reason is
shortage of tin cans; tin comes from
England. Even if we have money we
may not be able to buy things next
fall. From your gardens preserve, dry,
can, and so keep food for next winter,
don't eat all the products this sum
mer. Don't get into hysteria; think
what is the best thing you can do to
meet the present situation, and do that
thing.
