AMSTERDAM, August 29---ln re-

and absolutely independent Of Paris
the Munich WIELAND has brought
out, after long preparation, a speciaI
supplement entirely German Fash.
IONS" containing a series Of colcred
designs absolutely German in inspira-
ton ard elaboration"
The supplement has attracted wide
attention in tn eGerman newspapers,
but almost without exception the crit
icism is adverse. The Berlin TAGE-
BLATT says: "The illustrations might
veil be taken for caricatures. The body
from the waist upwards appears fer
too short and humpy, the lower part
is padded to appear as an enornity,
Bullying pockets; hats too small or
TOO laroe, falling ever ore ear; wide
outstanding collars and other absur-
ditios complete figure from which
any rational man would turn with
loathing."
The TAGEszETTUNG and other
papers declare that if this is a fair
specimen of German genius for de-
signing ladies' fashion German wom-
en- had far better depend as in the
past on Paris.

function was the presentation Of a
magnificent silver flower bowl to Ad-

half of the citizens. The souvenir bore
suitable inscription in Japanese and
contained scroll, signed by leading
residents, asserting:
"The existence of friendly relations
between your country and ours is ira
ditional. Yet, by the entrance of the
United States of America into the
present war our interests have become
more closely linked together than ever
before: the friendship existing be-
tween us has so matured that today
we are not only friends but allies.
"We deem it fitting occasion there
fore for us to show our high regard
for you, and through you our warm
feeling for the American people, by
presenting to you this bowl. May it
serve as a mark of our respect for
you and as a token Of our sincere
friendship for your fellow country
men"
Admiral Knight accepted the gift as
an expression of the good feeling
borne for the United States by the
people of Japan.
The entertainment consisted Of Jug
glery and guisha dances. Japanese
artists painted fans before the guests
and later presented them to the Amer
leans as souvenirs.
