DRESS AND SUGGESTIONS
ANNE ..4sgsu,u.r.. FOR WOMEN
by
ANNE RITTENHoUsE
Soft velvet tunics, INDEBTED and with
out fulness, will be worn over mar
row, pleated skirt of another color.


New York, September 19.-There are
garments in the autumn costumery
which look as though they started out
to be Russian blouses and ended up,
as it were. in the middle of their
progress, because the designer found
that there was not enough material
for belt or for fullness.
There may be little material in these
TUNES, but there is no depreciation Of
their beauty by reason o: their scanti :
ness. On the contrary, they are ex-
ceedingly good looking. If one is look
ing at clothes this autumn from an
economical point of view this new kind
of tunic will be as useful as sweater.
1t will allow one the constant use of
separate skirts.
To begin with. at the very beginning
of the new fashions. there is wide
spread demand for the separate skirt
that is unusual. Decades ago women
wanted to wear separate skirts at all
hours of the day and evening, and,
therefore, fashion allowed them to do
it; but since then the one color from
head to foot. the one co-ordinated cos
tune. has been the stern demand of
fashion. Even to the outermost fringe
of the social aggregatfons on this con-
tinent, women have seen the beauty OF
the one color at time on the human
figure

Would Not Take More
Than Two Sons From
One Family in Draft

New York, September 19.-Recommenda-
ton was made to the military authori-
ties at Washington today by the district
board that where two sons from one
family are in the military service of the
United States, other sons Of draft age
be exempted.
The board, in letter to the Secretary
of war and to the provost marshal gem
eral. said that in it's opinion the Eek
isting emergency does not require that
more than two sons of one family should
be called, even in the absence Of pecuni-
ary dependency of parent or other rela-
tive
The government is, therefore, urged
to adopt regulations to correct what the
board terms this apparent defect" IN
the selective draft law.

GUNMEN BROUGHT
TO WIN ELECTION
IS CHARGE MADE

Philadelphia, September 1s.-Charges
that gunner and fraudulent voters had
been brought here to take part in re-
publican primary in the Fifth ward fol-
lowed the killing here today of George
A. Eppley. a policeman, who went to the
rescue of James A. Carey and ]. H.
Maurer, an assistant district attorney,
when attacks were made on them. The
outbreak was said to be the elimination
of small riot last night at a republican
club, which resulted in six men being
sent to a hospital.
Carey, who had engaged in bitter
campaign agaist Isaac Deutsch for the
republican nomination for councilman
from the Fifth ward, was making the
rounds of the polling places today when
he was knocked down with a sand bag.
At the same time an attack was made
on Maurer. Policeman Eppey inter-
vened and was shot and killed.
Jacob Mascia of Jersey City. arrested
on the charge of killing the policeman,
has confessed in a written statement,
according to the police, that he and 1S
others We're brought here from New
York and Jersey City to vote in the pri-
mary.
MaScla denied that ne Snot Eppiey, al
though the latter, before he died. identi-
fled Mascia as his assailant.
John Costello, also of Jersey City, who
was arrested, charged with being an ac-
oessory to the crime, admitted also, ac-
cording to the police, that he had been
hired with other men to come here and
take part in the primary The police
gave out a statement from him saying:
1--WE were brought here by a man
NpNlS' tO vote In the
Fifth ward. We were to vote for
Deutsch."
Both Mascia and Costello, the police
said. wore a white ribbon in their but
ton-holes as the distinguishing mark OF
alleged hired voters from other cities.

SWEDEN is FACING
AN EMBARRASSING
SITUATION NOW
Washington Government In
clined to Accept State
ment of Regret as to
Luxburg Affair

washington, September 1s.-sweden's
official retcence concerning the expo
sures made by Secretary Lansing Of the
part her diplomatic agents have taken
in transmitting German messages is re-
garded here largely as cloak to cover
what must necessarily be an embarrass-
Ing internal reform.
Officials of the state department today
made no effort to conceal the fact that
the United States is disposed to accept
the unofficial statements of regret and
indignation from Admiral Lindman. min
lister Of foreign affairs at Stockholm.
as true indication of the Swedish peo-
ple's attitude. Cablegrams from London
have quoted a spokesman of the British
government as saying that the same ad-
missions made to it by the foreign min
lister would be regarded there as salts
factory.
Until official admission Of a measure
OF guilt Is made, however, and prom
ises of greater care in the future are
given. it appears improbable that Swe-
dish diplomatic representatives will be
afforded the same facilities for the
transmission of their dispatches.
Although the American government
has not placed any restrictions on the
Swedish legation here, there is daily
evidence that code messages sent to and
from Stockholm through cable stations
in the control Of Great Britain are be-
ing subjected to indefinite delay.
Reports from Stockholm that changes
| in the government would include the
placing of Admiral LsSdman in the pre-
| mier's seat have gone far toward con-
vincing this government that the Swe-
| dish sentiment has been so aroused that
| formal assurances will soon come that
such incidents as those discovered in Ar
gentina and Mexico will not be repeated.

CoLoRs MAY MINGLE

The day of the one-color costume is
gone. 1t Is not dead. we hope, but
sleeping Whatever has caused the
revolution from this safe and sane at
titude toward dress no one knows.
Let us put it off on the war. Every
other change under thu sun in the last
three years has been put down to that
cause, from the presence of sharks on
the Atlantic coast to the price of spin
ach on southern plantations. All life
has been readjusted on the basis OF
war, and it Is not far fetched state
ment that the incoming of patchwork
costumes be added to the list of drastic
changes that have occurred on this
planet.
Women must be careful or they will
destroy every ounce OF good looks
of combining several colors into one
costume They will be allowed to
wear whatever skirt they want, day
or evening. with blouse tunic or
a coat of another color and fabric.
The one fashion in this medley of
colors that is frowned upon is the use
of the separate skirt with coatless
shirtwaist. No one must appear in q
white wash blouse and a black skirt
outside of ones own house and even
there it is not considered in good
taste.
THE CLOSE-FITTING TUNIC
The new tunic which has developed
for informal afternoon gowns since the
first of September is the long, slim
velvet tunic which is modelled after
those worn by men in the twelfth cen
fury in England and France. The
sketch of this tunic which is given
today shows exactly how one of the
we'll known minor dressmakers OF
Paris interprets it. Arnold has pro-
