on the part of the designer that makes
this garment immensely becoming.
The handsome sweatercoat shown at
the right is more ample and much
more loosely adjusted to the figure. 1t
is an especially good model for slim
figures because of the plated skirt
portion and the shape of the collar
which widens the shoulders. The turn

narrow rib, but the collar is fash

Colors bright and gay continue to be

APPEAL TO RUSSIANS

Instead of Peace. Germans Bring

London, July ,z3.-The Times has

addressed to the Russian popula-
tion by the merchants and traders
of Vladivostok. In this document
1t Is said:
Instead of a peace as promised.
Germany is seizing hundreds of
Russian towns and whole countries,
enlisting our citizens and sending
them into Germany to fight against
our allies.
Instead of peace. we have a fear
full internal war with constant
bloodshed.
"Kieff Is ruined. the famous Mos
COW citadel is destroyed, as well as
many Russian towns.
Instead Of bread, the people have
starvation and wholesale unem-
ployment, and as a consequence ep-
idemics which take away thousands
Of lives.
'Tnsted of land for the peasants,
the Russian land becomes the prop
erty Of the Germans, for whom our
peasants will be working as slaves.
Instead of peace. robbery, mur-
der, slaughter. unprovoked arrests,
lynching and not even a sign of free
speech in the press.
THAT is what those who prom
ised so much have given u.s."

Aero Authorities Decide to
Substitute S. E. 5
and Caproni.

Production Of the bristol Fighter" "
an English battle plane, will be dis
continued Immediately, the War De-
partment Bureau OF Aircraft Produc-
ton announced last night.
This will not decrease the number
of machines going overseas, however.
the announcement says, as the DE
Haviland e. can be produced as fast
as engines can be supplied.
Rush orders have been given for
the Curtis IS. E. s" and the Caproni.
Text of Announcement.
The text Of the announcement fol-
lows:
Early last year 1t was decided
when a demand for two-seaterd fight
ers was great, to put into production
at the Curtiss Company an adapta-
tion OF the Bristol Fighter, an Eng
lish batle-plane. fitted to a twelve
cylinder Liberty Motor. Recent fiy-
ing tests have demonstrated that this
machine is overpowered and not OF
military value, lacking maneuverabil-
ity and not having sufficient speed
for war purposes. Inasmuch as the
"DeHaviland 4" is in production and
meets the requirements and can be
produced as fast as engines can be
supplied. SO that there will be no de-
crease in the number of planes going
overseas, the Bureau of Aircraft
Production is compelled to take the
position that the country will be best
served by disseminating Bristol pro-
duction.
Working on Ne~ Types.
Every effort is being made to quick
ly put into production at the Curtiss
Company the s. e. 8 and the Caproni
Both planes are well known and are
not experimental in any way. The
Bureau of Aircraft Production hopes
to be able. in the near future, to re-
employ the people who will of neces-
sity have to be laid OF under this
order.
OF the outlay on Bristol Fighters
thus far produced or in process OF
production a considerable percentages
can be salvaged. The exact expendi-
ture on this experiment is now being
calculated.

KAISER'S "GOLD" CUPS
STILL AT A DISCOUNT
Prize Awarded to Italian Firm
Found Also to Be Spurious.

London, July 23-Not long ago the
gold" cup which the German Kaiser
presented to the New York Yacht
Club, supposed to be worth s1.0o0,
was found to be Of common metal
gilded over and worth only s7. 1t ap-
pears that other gifts from his impe-
rial majesty are equally hollow.
In 1897, he gave another Of his
"gold'' cups as the prize for the Tau
nus Motor Race. The prize WAS won
by the Fiat form of Turin. which ex-
hibited and priced this magnificent
trophy, valued at s2,0Oo $4,000.
Last year the company offered It to
the italian government as a war gift.
1t was sent to the mint and turned
out to be another sham. Instead of
being solid gold it was gilt PAINTED
and Of very little value. The company
took back the cup and sent the Italian
government s2,ooo in cash.

HALF MILLION
MEN IN NAVY:
100000 SOON
Vast Expansion Of Service
Told in Detail by
Daniels.

The navy personnel today Is ten
times greater than 1t was when this
country entered the war. The num-
Der OF officers and enlisted men has
passed well beyond the half million
mark. and by the end of the year 1t
will reach to 100000.
Secretary Daniels made these fig-
ures public yesterday In explaining
the increased demands that are be-
ing maze upon the navy for work
here and abroad. Not only is the
navy building 1900 new ships for its
own use, but 1t has to furnish the
men to arm the transports in use
by the army and the merchantmen
in the service of the Emergency
Fleet Corporation. New vessels are
being added to the service at the
rate of 5000 tons each day, and
each vessel requires a complement
OF officers and men.
The teotal number of men now in
the personnel is 503.7s2, of whom
1888 are officers and the remaind-
er enlisted men. This personnel is
distributed among the navy proper,
the Naval Reserve Force, the Ma
rtne Corps. and the Coast Guard.
The navy also carries on its payroll
10000 mechanics and laborers and
10000 employees at bureaus and ma
val stations.
NAVAL Stations Expanded.
Secretary Daniels said:
The announcement that we have
passed the half million mark will be
followed by an enrolment Of probably
100000 more before the end Of the sum-
mer and in the fall we will have

course, the ships soon to be put in
commission and the ever-increasing
number Of merchantmen, submarine
destroyers, Eagle boats, submarine
chasers, and the ships of the Fleet
corporation. 1t has devolved upon the
Navy to put crews on all vessels that
have a distinctly military purpose, and
that means equipping for defense and
onense all the transports and supply
ships OF the War Department as well
as those Of the Navy Department

Therefore the half million men are

sidering the service the Navy has been

May Return Small Lines.

Many of the smaller telephone
lines may later be turned back to
their present owners, as was done
in the case of the short line rail-
roads. These problems will be met
as they arise, and the PostmA ster
Generals office has not a COM
pleted plan to announce as yet, and
expects to make none.
One of the first actions that is
expected is a consolidation of COM
peting lines. especially in the tele-
phone systems. Competing ex-
changes will probably be connected
so that any subscriber to any sys-
TEN in the country can reach any
subscriber on any other system,
either local or long distance. This
will free duplicate telephone instru-
ments in many homes and business
houses, and as there Is a scarcity Of
telephone sets in the country, and
most companies are several months
behind In installing telephones be-
| cause they have not the instru-
ments. it will make 1t possible al
most at once for any one who needs
telephone to get one. It will also
relieve subscribers in cities where
two companies operate of the bur-
den of paying both companies for
service.
Consolidation of telegraph offices
should cut down overhead charges
on management, office force and
rentals. and should result in much
cheaper operation. These econo-
mics will, in part, be expected to
provide for the 25 per cent increase
in wages which the telegraph op-
orators hope the Postmaster Cen
eral will award them. They have
an appeal pending before the War
Labor Board now against the West
ern Union AMI Postal companies for
the wage increase and for shorter
working hours. As governre ent
