Ksiser's Alarm Over
Rhine Valley Attacks

Rhine Valley Attacks
The New York Sun gives the
following reason for the Kaiser's
alarm over the bombing of the
Rhine Valley:
The Rhine valley is the German
land of story and legend, it's charm
of sceHItery, its ruined or restored
castles and its ancient and mediae-
val churches were before the war
a.1Gu tr ,ur.,y exploited in the
summer-tourist literature. But
more prominent than castle and
church in the Rhine valley scenery
today are the great smoke-stacks
of German factories.
In the last quarter of century
the whole valley has been develop
ed until it has become the great
industrial section of the empire. 1t
was the pride of Germany that
Frankfort had ONE of the most
completely equipped railway ter
miua,s and stations in the world
and that millions expended upon
waterways had transformed this
inland city into practically sea-
port. Cologne with its suburb of
Deutz; Coblenz, Dusseldorf, and
even the university town of Bonn,
have all become important manu-
featuring centres, while the his
to1ic old town of Mannheim boasts
today of the greatest chemical
works in all Europe. The iron re-
gion of Essen and the krupps lies
not far to the east of the lower
Rhine valley. The whole section,
cut by canals and linked by a COM
plcte system of railways, is the
! empires best exhibit of economic
and industrial development under
1c.m'anic paternalism.
Since the beginning of the war
al Of Ihase towns have become
manufacturing points for NUM-
tions, and the whole region has
been turned into a vast warehouse
for war supplies. On account of
IS proximity to France it is the
avenue to the western front, the
chief base for the furnishing of
guns, poisonous gases and am
munition. It's railways and canals
have been utilized to the fullest
extent in rushing supplies to the
c,o'st,efeld. The bridges across the
Rhine, especially the bridges at
Cologne and Coblenz, have formed
indispensable links in the con,
nect;on between central Germany
and the front.

1t was quite alluring. The young
ster VINO wore it-at a smart restuar-
ant, at one of those before-the-mati-
rec luncl,eons that bring out all the
best looking gowns in town, knew
that she was attracting attention. She
assumed all the gayety and uncon-
seriousness. the animated gesture and

that the female of all species displays
when she knows she is being watched.
The introduction of the minaret
skirt. and the fact that one garment
was gray and the other blue and that
the sleeves were three-quarter length
and squarely cut so that they fell
away from the arm for six inches,
made a grouping of features that
brought out the pencils of some de-
singers and the notebooks of artists
who go to these places to catch life
as it is and cage it into a sketch.
Not Civil War Blue.
AS sentimental as sounds the ming
ling of the blue and the gray in this
new war upon which America is en-
barked, The new costume of the women
does not embody the blue of the
Northern soldiers. 1t is fainter blue
in which there is a suspicion of gray,
and it is peculiarly becoming to the
skin.
The tone of the gray is called sea
gull, and it has leaped into a doml-
nant place in the fashions because of
its, serviceability. 1t is the kind of
neutral background against which all
colors can dash like surf The person
who invented this modern mingling
O. blue and gray, had surely seen and
/, put into life some mixture OF sea, and
cloud, and shore.

done, it gives the observer a poetic

well.
The gown which is shown in the
