The Sleeveless Sports Coat

A new development in sports
made of wool jersey in the gay colors
so popular for sports. These add a
bright touch to the all-white cos
tune and furnish that dash and
gaiety which makes the sports clothes
for the country so thoroughly ire
sistible. The new sleeveless coats
are about hip length, and are cut on
the same simple, loose-fitting lines
that characterize all sports coats.
They are usually belted and prOvid-
ed with pockets, both for utility and
smartness. With shirtwaists of white
wash silk or crepe de Chine, and
skirts of creme serge or silk, the
wool Jersey coats in light blue,
green or rose color provide strik-
ing contrast which can not fail to
please.
Not unlike the sleeveless coat is
the long overblouse worn over q
guimpe and hanging over the skirt in
peplum fashion. One of these is illus
trated here forming summer cos
tune with a simple gathered skirt.
1.-The material is organdie, and the
trimming filet lace. Wide bands OF
filet lace connect the front and back
panels of the overblouse Stimulating
large pockets over the hips. A belt
(which is half organdie and half lacS
marks the waistline, and the novel
outline of the neck is another feature
/ which contributes to the unmistaka.

White Hats Appear.

The time has come not only for
white frocks but for white hats, too.
This season there are all kinds of
white hats, most of them entirely
white, while now and again brim
has an undertaking of black or navy
blue, or a rolled-up brim displays a
touch of color against the white.
The hats of white crepe are very
fashionable and ever so dainty. Some
are made altogether of crepe with a
trimming of grosgrain ribbon or of
white satin and straight wide brims
of crepe or net. Flowers and hne
feathers are used by way Of decora-
ton in some instances. Another
type of white hat in vogue is the
small close-ftting feather turban
which is very attractive to wear with
white dresses. There are wells, too,
in infinite variety to complement all
kinds of summer hats.

LONDON, Dec. 13.--Following the

LONDON, Dec. 13.-All Europe con-
tinves 10 talk increasingly of the COM
inc German offensive. The British
prees still predicts in glaring head
lines a big enemy blow in the West
while the Germen newspapers yester-
cav all contained articles declaring
that Hindenburg, in conjunction with
the Austrian General staff, is going to
subject the Allies on the Western
front to the same treatment that has
been dealt TO Italy. They unanimous
" affirm that the Teutonic push in the
West will finish the war by crushing
the Allies.
From past experience we know that
when the Germans publicly and bla-
tantly presagc such an event, there Is
considerable chance that they have got
some entirely different card up their
sleeycs-perhaps peace move, instead
But whatever Germany's motives for
making this public threat and what
ever her intentions regarding an Of

all experts here that she is now in a
position to strike il she ever intends
to. and the Allies arc not spsring any

Browning Gun the Best
When asked to tell more in detail
about the Browning gun, Secretary
Baker declared that Browning had per-
hsps patented more firearms than any
other man in the country. He said the
Browning gun was of a light type that
had been thoroughly tested along with
all other makes by special ordnance
board of machine gun experts and had
been declared to be the best 'for our
purposes" He said the tests of the
gun so impressed the board that it was
unanimously decided it should be
adopted for the American forces.
Secretary Baker said that the War
Department had not concentrated on
the manufacture Of the Browning gun.
He declared it was the intention Vi the
department to procure every machine
gun that was available. and he insisted
that tho full capacity of the machine
gun plants of the country were being
utilized in making the pieces. he
would not disclose the number OF ma
chine guns now in possession OF the
army. -.
No information was forthcoming With
reference to the rife situation. He

planes and armament for aircraft as
