President of English Master

Manchester, (via London, 2:15 p. m.)
—Sir Charles Mncarn, prcßldrnt of
the Mnater Cotton Spinners’ Assocle
llon of Great Britain hail the follow

"For yearn I have advocated that If

"The nituatlon now to be dealth

If the English mills are able to run

papers are predicting the use of this
nor I hern Belgian position us a base for
operations hrmhim England.
There is no doubt Antwerp suffered
terribly from the bombardment sml
the losses among the civilian popula
tion have been heavy. The city was
crowded, not only with Its normal pop
ulation of mure than iIOU.OUO, but with
thousands of refugees. All stories co
incide in relating tile sutferlng and
mental torture of loose untorlunutes
struggling to leave the danger sons.
Many were said to have been maroon
ed by the destruction of a pontoon
bridge over the Scheldt. While the
vast majority of thtf refugees are now
burdening Holland, thousands later
will come to England, where other
thousands already are being cared for.
Damage Not Known.
Just how much damage has been
done to Antwerp, particularly to his
toric edifices, It wilt take some time
to determine. Home of the refugees
•ay the Cathedral of Notre lhtine has
been badly damaged. Others deny that.
All reports agree that the Hermans
entered the city by way of the suburb
of Iterchciu. •
With Antwerp taken, the Hermans
now will be able to detach the consid
erable besieging force and transfer It
to the right wing, near the French-
Belgian frontier, which ha» been sore
ly pressed.
Moral Effect.
The morel effect of the fall of Ant
warp la not minimised Ih England.
The city was called by Napoleon "n
pistol pointing at the heart of Eng
land.” It la estimated here that there
are no fewer than 400.000 Germans in
Belgium today.

WAR DEPLETING RANKS
The great European war will sadly deplete the rank* of the world's athlete*. Hundreds of men of athletic
prowess beyond the ordinary are now fighting In the opposing armies of Europe and with the enormous cas

many years to com*.

THE AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUSTA, GA.
Many Well Known Sportsmen Now in Field of Battle
New Fabrics For Winter Costumes
Fabric Trims Fabric-Thc Touch of a Flower
New York.—A new phase of life is
appearing in Paris. The men have
gone to war but instead of abandoning
their businesses they have left them
in charge of the women. The great
dressmaking establishments are many
of them handed over to some trusted
women employee or to some member
of the family and it is to be hoped
that they will continue sending ua
new ideas until the men return, and
prove the worth of women in emer
gencies.
Poiret was one of the first to re
spond to the call to arms and close in
his wake went Jouda, the head of the
House of Bernard, Worth, Bechoff and
Doucet. The Callot sisters are keep
ing their staff busy no longer entire
ly upon new creations but upon hos
pital supplies.
A Basque Dress of Dark Taupe Broad*
cloth and Black Satin
As Americans would probably be the
greatest buyers, if not the only pnes,
during this period of war, the dress
makers in Paris quickly changed their
models to suit the American trade.
The skirts, though wider are not as
voluminous as a few years ago. They
are cut circular and fit closely about
the hips, flaring at the ankles. They
are very short, at least five or six
inches from the floor. Some of the
new tunics are cut with a deep point
front and back. This Is a very be
coming length of tunic for the woman
who is seeking to accentuate her
height.
The Moyen Age frock is having a
tremendous vogue. Many of the au
tumn models hang straight from the
shoulder to tfie hem without a visible
waistline. Some have a broad flat
belt, and others have sashes which
tie in a pinafore bow at the back.
The redlngote effect is given many
of the long-waisted frocks. One dress
of dark taupe broadcloth is here illus
trated. The waist Is of the short
basque variety, with plain short
sleeves. A tunic, which does not
meet in the front, is worn over a black
satin skirt. The girdle is of the same
material as the dress, and tunic, and
meets in the back, where it is fastened
wdth snappers placed underneath the
cloth-covered buttons. A pointed col
lar and pointed cuffs of the satin com
plete the dress.
This is Indeed a lace season and for
evening dresses and for afternoon
dresses it is used extensively. It forms
overdresses for frocks of charmeuse
and satin; at times it is only the tunic,
or it may be but the bodice of a dress.
The margot edged craquele net is very
smart and effective. The evening gown
illustrated has a surplice bodice of
this craquele net with the margot
edge, and a craquele net yoke. The
skirt is a pink satin with overskirt of
lace. Around the waist Is w’orn a wide
sash of silver gauze ribbon which ties
at a low waistline In the back.
The practical evening wrap of black
velvet which is worn with this cos
tume Is called the Monna Vanna cape
after the play written by Maeterlinck.
The collar is of Persian lamh and the
cape is lined throughout with a rich
Nattier blue satin. The lining of
capes and wraps this year is an Im
portant feature of the garment. Won
derful brocades, figured crepe de
chine, moire, satin, and taffeta are all
used.
For evening capes and wraps there
are exquisite metal brocades from six
teen dollars a yard up, which are both
effective and beautiful. Theae are
trimmed with collars of ermine, mink,
sable, beaver or kolinsky, the latter
Is a nortthern Russian or Siberian
mink. Among other materials used
for these wraps are Ottoman faille
•Ilk which comes In rich designs, fu
turist in their coloring and outline.
One stunning coat made of this silk
had an allover figure that at a dis
tance reminded one of Chinese de
strns, and the effect was heightened
by the shape of the cape which was
not uulike a Chinese lantern. It was
trimmed with a huge cape of kolinsky
and a band of the same fur banded
the cape Just above the hem. This
cape was lined with a plain green.
SATURDAY, OCTOBER
which matched one of the colors in
the desigh.
The separate tailored coat is made
of such warm and thick materials as
velour de laine, cheviot and a new
fabric called chenille cloth. Velvet
and plush are also used*
The trimming of st#fet suits of
faille ribbed velour, serge, gabardine,
velveteen, cordurory, chiffon velvet,
poplin, duvetyne "kitten ear” or broad
cloth, is confined almost entirely to
the collar, cuffs or waistcoat effects.
These may $e heaily braided Iwith
Hercules braid or trimmed with one of
the superb metal vestings; these are
very expensive but a small amount
goes a great way. Chiffon velvet in
a Roman stripe is popular and may be
had in blue and tan or in tan and
brown. Caracul velvet and moire
chiffon velvet are often used to good
advantage. Various Scotch plaid ef
fects are also used for the collar, cuffs
and waistcoat and are very smart.
Combinations of materials are seen in
these suits such as velvet and fur
cloth, velvet and faille silk, blue serge
and black satin, and satin and broad
cloth.
