AID FOR ALIEN
ENEMIES GIVEN
BY LEGATIONS
Families of Those Found
INDECENT to Be Helped
by Neutrals.

INDECENT enemy aliens and the fam
lies Of those interned are to receive
official aid through the Swedish and
Swiss Legations and through a COM
mittee of Americans to be appointed
for the purpose. Secretary of State
Lansing made the following statement
on the result Of the restriction Of
enemy aliens here:
In some cases these restrictions
have worked hardships on enemy
aliens who in all respects have shown
themselves friendly to the United
States, but who. owing to the acci-
dent of birth and war conditions have
been unable to change their status as
such, and have of necessity become
objects OF charity. Likewise the fam
lilies of those enemy aliens whom the
government deems 1t advisable to in
tern, are often deprived OF their means
Of livelihood, and they also become
dependent on the charity Of others.
In order to meet this condition
the Legation of Switzerland, and
the Legation Of Sweden, in chage
respectively OF German and Austro-
Hungarian interests in the United
states. have with the approval and
cooperation of this government,
undertaken to systematize and su-
pervise all the relief that may be
given to needy enemy aliens. In
the case of the interned enemy
aliens and their families, the Lega-
tions have agreed to supply all the
relief from their own funds, limit
ing such relief to what Is found
after careful investigation to be the
essential minimum.
The case of the law abiding
aliens has presented a more COM
pleX problem. This 1t is proposed
to meet by the formation of a Ma
tional Committee composed of
American citizens. which in CO.
operation with the Legations of
Switzerland and Sweden, and the
consuls under their Jurisdiction. will
investigate all cases of distress
among this class and will control
the collection and distribution Of
all funds that may be subscribe4
for the purpose OF their relief"
The committee will have local
committees working under 1t where
ever the need of such committees
is felt, and will render accounts
of its activities to the proper au-
thorities.
l feel confident that the intellI-
gently controlled relief of enemy
aliens in distress in accordance
with the proposed methods is a hu-
mantarian measure in accord with
the spirit in which we have under
taken to carry on this war.

Won Kuehlmann Takes
Cherus Ladies From

FOOD FROM UKRAINE
GERMAN FALSE HOPE

DISPATCHES from Berne indicate that
the Reichstag food commission In
Berlin is being forced to recognize
the failure Of the promised Ukrainian
supplies.
The meeting last Friday was call
ed to discuss a possible cut in the
German bread ration, already mea-
ger. Under Secretary of State Braun,
Just back from the economic con-
ference at Kief. warned the COM
mission that no decision on the re-
duction of the bread ration could be
made until the possibilities Of trans
port from Ukraine could be deter
mined. The public statement of the
result OF the meeting was full Of eau
tion against too high hopes of more
food from Ukraine.

forces. Figures from the casualty
lists from abroad indicate that the
/, snipers occupy the most dangerous
posts OF any branch of the service.
Their mortality rate Is much higher
than that of the aviators and they
have accounted for more men than
the flying crops. One sniper. now on
leave in London, has a record Of
having killed 127 Germans.
So thorough is the lookout sustained
by each side that a sniper takes his
life in his hands every time he fires
shot. As a result he never shoots
until he is confident he Is going to
get his man.
Although the snipers use smoke
less powder in their shells, the
flash of their gun is discerned by
watchers on the other side even
when the sunlight is brightest.
Special field glasses, known as
screen" glasses have been made
for the use of the spoilers. The
screen glass is OF a colored glass
which blots from the vision all OBJ
jects. but the deep red OF the fire
from a gun muzzle.
Defeat "Screen, Glass.
To defeat the use OF the screen"
glass, the Americans will be trained
in making screens from broom corn
The sniper lying behind such a
screen can see and shoot through It,
but the flash from his rifle is con-
cealed from the enemy. Despite ev-
cry precaution taken, however, it is
necessary for the snipers to change
their posts frequently, since the Ger
mans will devote hundreds Of arril-
lery shells daily in an effort to kill
snipers.
The snipers Of the British force are
camped together. much as the flying
corps is. and at night carefully dis
cuss the days work and outline plans
for catching the Germans mapping
on the morrow.

and Enfield rifle perfected by the
American army is considered one Of.

By the time that August rolls round
each year women's eyes stray away
from summer millinery and such new
headwear as they buy Is prophetic
of fall. In the late summer they IA
vor something quite different from the
hats Of midsummer, no matter how
beautiful these may have been, and
incline to tailored headwear made of
silks and other fabrics. Outing hats
and between-season sport hats inter-
est them, but straws and flowers are
things of the past even in July. They
continue to wear them, but not to buy
them.
Here are three of the new demi-
season hats with which fair woman
will adorn her head until October sets
her thinking of winter, and fall show
ings of winter millinery tempt her to
anticipate her needs. These are
tailored hats that seem to be placed
right when worn with light summer
frocks or with tailored suits on cooler
days. They play a necessary role in
fashions drama and are a part Of the
pageant Of the seasons-like the turn
ing leaves of autumn.
A lovely hat of beige color and
navy taffeta at the top Of the group,
has its brim faced with navy blue tat
feta and navy blue chenille threaded
through to covering of top and side

crown, in beautifully even stitches.
Small obl0ng pieces OF the beige-col-
ored tafneta are edged with chenille
and set one after another about the
base of the crown. Dark blue beads
fasten each piece to the side
crown.
At the bottom of the group there
Is small shape having a crown COW
cred with white taffeta embroidered
with wool. The brim and crown band
are Of navy blue taffeta, and there are
four pairs of small navy blue wings
at the right side. The brim rolls up
at the left. The shape and the fine
work required in making this model
will commend it to smartly dressed
matrons.
The remaining hat is one Of many
models for fall in which narrow rib
bon covers the body of the shape,
with various kinds of facings-some-
times long-napped beaver cloth, in
contrasting color, sometimes panne
velvet and sometimes a fancy braid.
The last was chosen for the pretty
model pictured. Porcelain blue, rose,
orchid and other gay, soft colors have
been liked for hats of this character.
