WAR OF MACHINES MAY END MAS
SLAUGHTER
(Bv BRUCE CATTON)

European strategists believe that the
,nov+ war will be a war of rapid movement
with trench warfare almost obsolete ana
with the infantry occupying secondary
place.
SO Italian experts say their recent army
maneuyers show that assault by fast tanks
and swiftly moving shock troop detach-
.,ments will break any trench line and force
the fighting out into the open. ...
st Britain creates its first permanent tank
brigade, France studies the movement OF
troops by airplane, and American authorl-
o ties agree that trench warfare is probably
a thing of the past.
.. All this reflects the force which new
inventions are exerting. The whole science
of warfare seems about to swing on one
of those pivots which human Ingenuity
provides every few centuries; and While
weapons are becoming ultra-scientific, the
military art itself may be reverting to the
conditions of bygone generations. -.
1t is possible, that is, that we are gong
back to the relatively small, highly pro-
fessionalized army such as was the vogue
for centuries prior to the French revolt
ton.
For a long, long time before that, the
mass army which depended on sheer
weight of numbers for its triumph was
practically unheard of. Even the larges'
nations had small armies, by moderh
standards. ..,
Military science was formalized and IN
tricate. 1t took years to create profes
sional soldier; once created, however, ne
was invincible to all opponents except
those as fully trained as, himself.
Then came the French revolution, and
the application of CONSUMPTION. Time and
again the French defeated better troops
by the simple process of overwhelming
them with numbers.
: : The art of war changed. Armies grew
enormously. Numbers became more i'm
portant than professional skill. .. g.,
This condition lasted to the present da"
But the tide began to turn several years
ago. The machine gun gave one man the
fire-power of company; the airplane be-
come more potent than the cavalry regi,
ment; the tank acquired the hitting power
of brigade.
The result has been to lessen the i'm
portance of mere size As things are now,
the strength of an army depends on its
equipment. and training, not on its size.
Because of this it may be that we shall
never again see armies as gigantic as those
of the World war. a:
And that, in its turn, would mean that
the frightful mass slaughter of 1914-191s
would not be duplicated. - ,. IT,,

So diversified is masculine at
tire this summer that it is really
difficult to say which Of the
many combinations Of coats and
trousers is the most popular. I
can't say whether the light coat
with dark trousers have it-or
the dark coats with light trous-
erS.
But there are two things that
I do wish. One is that the fat
old man-and young-with ro-
tund waistlines, would stop
thinking they look we'll in mess
jackets, and the other is that
men wearing white linen coats
with black trousers would hang
signs on themselves saying, I'VE

of taking them for walters
and so are they.

I sincerely hope that Senator

About this time of the year
the Paris millinerS bring out sig
nificant hats. They're imported
to America. copied, sold all
over the country. They are our
first taste of Autumn.
These hats do not necessarily
set our styles. But they are the
first idea that comes to us. They
give US a flavor of fall. They
set our minds working.
OF course, the designers have
been working for a long time,
and nearly always along the
same lines that the milliners
follow. So when the clothes
come out they are in the same
spirit as these early hats, which
we've been studying with a
speculative eye, and around
which we've been more or less
planning our winter clothes.
Strong Influence
Some seasons the hats &C.
tually influence fashions, set
the mode. They did this three
or four years ago when the IA
nous Empress Eugene" hats
came out. You remember them,
I'm sure. They took the fash
ion world by 81 torn, and
changed the whole trend. For
they emerged into a world of
tailored, sports like clothes
with which they couldn't pos
Sibly be worn. We've been get

ting more and more feminine in
our appearance ever since.
According to reports from
Paris, the beret is again of
great Importance. It's the type
that pulls far down on one
side, so far that it frames your
profile, and the up side may be
so far up as to show most of
your head on that side. They
are pulled forward, too.
Velvet CapelineS
At race meets in Paris this
month they are wearing velvet
capelines in black or pastel
velvets. That gives us a cue
for the remainder of the sum-
mer. Some Of the large hats
Of velvet and straw combined.
The large leghorn brim with
velvet crown is an old favorite
that is back again.
Flowers in small wreaths or
discreet bouquets are being
worn in Paris at present, but
show little tendency to increase.
Feathers are much talked of,
however, and appear on hats of
many types. Pasted feather
bands and glycerined ostrich
seem to be the favorite right
now.
White Worn in Paris
White hats are as popular
there at present as they are
here. There are a good many
worn for afternoon and the
cocktail hour, made of organ
die or to match whatever sheer
trimming you have on your
dress. One that sounds fas-
cinating was worn at a recent
cocktail party, a little flat derby
of white organdie, suggestive of
the Second Empire.
Another attractive midsum-
mer idea which we can easily
copy is the wearing of little
white eye wells on black, brown
or beige hats. They also wear
a black veil, or a brown veil on
a white hat in Paris, too.

What Color Shirt
Shall | Wear?

If you're interested in what
color shirts men are wearing
around town, here are the fig
ures. We can give them to you
because we spent many hours
looking them over, counting
them on street corners, at base
ball games, in hotel lounges, at
clubs.
White is worn by every other
man on a hot day. There's just
something about white in sum-
mer that seems cooler. Or per-
haps it's just a habit with many
men. At any rate, two out Of
every four wear white.
Solid color shirts make up
nearly half Of the remaining
number, with pattern-holding
just a little edge over them.
Blue was by far the faVorlte IN
colors, with gray next, and other
colors making up the total. Men
in the new deep colors are very
smart looking, but are far in the
minority when you go out and
count all the men.
Stripes and small figures are
favoriteS among the patterned
shirts. Many well dressed men
wore checks and small plaids,
but not nearly as many as those
who prefer something conven-
tional. Will count again soon
and print our results. Such
counts show the way the wind
blows,

Stockings Worn
in Paris

For general daytime, for the
races, for afternoon, the stock
ings worn by Parisiennes are
as near skin tones as possible.
If a woman is well tanned, she
will wear darker stockings than
if she is blonde and unburned.
Mesh stockings are begin
ming to be seen again. They're
making quite a bit Of head
way in this country, too. Small
mesh is much the Smartest,
and sometimes in so small as
to appear plain.
Pastel hose are worn, but not
in great numbers. There seems
to be no immediate danger of
their replacing skin tones or
the beige and taupe colors that
we have worn for so long.
Heels Lowered
Comparatively few really low
heels are seen is Paris, except
with sports and beach clothes,
but nearly all heels are a bit
lower. Afternoon and street
shoes are apt to have heels about
two inches high, and of sturdy
construction, rather than the
shaped and spike heels of other
seasons. Women seem to be
more interested in comfort
than ever before, and prefer
clothes and shoes that are
comfortable with busy, active
lives.

Will Cotton Return?
There's been a good deal of
speculation in Paris as to
whether this will bring on lin
gerie undertakings cottonS
and linens. Here and there in
the finer French collections
you'll see a fine linen night
gown, and petticoats for special
dresses. But they are decidedly
the exception rather than the
rule.
The designers who have made
the few pieces shown recon-
mend these petticoats. or any
ruffly petticoatS for that mat
ter, only for the gown for which
they were made. They tell you
Of the GOODNESS Of linen, and its

They are worn with braces"
which in plain American are
suspenders. They hang straight
without breaking at the shoe.
Suits of this type are on the
up in America, however, and
some prophets say that they will
increase considerably in popu-
larity this fall. Now they are
worn by men who appreciate
good cut, and who want to be
individual. With all men desir-
ing more individuality, and
wanting something just a little
different from the man across
the street, they will probably
be seen more and more.
