PINK SILK LINING FOR MALES’- SUITS It Runs from the Collar to the Cufft on the Trous- ers, . New York, July 24-—The meek civilian in blue serge who has been skulking along under the shadow of the gold-braided, brass-buttoned war hero for all these months is about to take his place in the sun again. For the clothing designers have come to the rescue and have brought into the world nothing less than pink-silk lin- ings for the masculine coat and the manly trouser, linings built to fortify any mere bank clerk against the most resplendent officer in the whole ser- vice. The pink-silk lining made its first appearance yesterday afternoon at the third Clothing Desligners’ Style Show, at the Hotel Breslin. The black trousers looked unassuming enough as they hung there, but the interior decorator had done his work well, and it wasn't long before the news was out and the dangling legs be- came the center of attraction. As for the coat, with its vast stretch of pink, the men lined up to try it on, and the buttonholes were not once called imto service. The “trench coat” exhibited yester- \ day is another ruse by which it civil- ian may outrival his military brother. It may even be khaki colored, and is reinforced with shoulder straps and various buckles and pockets, Speaking of pockets, they an- nounced solemnly at the exhibit that men will wear “welt” pockets this fall fhstead of patch or flap pockets be- cause of the shortage in wool, and that coats would be short for the same reason, and then they produced the fullest, billowyest overcoats that were ever manufactured for the male figure. Pleats, folds, belts, extra “windshield” cuffs, military capes, lepg, wide, flapping skirts—but they insisted that patch pockets take too much material. The exhibit also introduced a garment for the lady munition worker of farmerette, ‘“womanalls.” But made of stout blue denim on straight lines and without one unnecessary City Items Pie sale Wed. a. m.

Boston, July 24.—Optimistic views of the Ruasian situation are expressed in two letters recelved here from Mrs. Catherine Breshkovsky, the aged rev- olutionist. Writing to Miss Helena S. Dudley, she says: “It grows better and better. - The peasants are strong and well disposed, always ready to do their bit, the army, t0o, for it is composed of peasants’ boy¥s. There aré soma pedople who have imbibed foreign ideas from Ger- many, but they are few and all the tempest they have awakened in the capital will disappear. Such a great revolution as we have here cannot be carried through without some troubles. “We women have all the rights we wanted, quite such as the men. The program is broad &nough to make the people happy for centuries. Yet we must work as never before, and the work would not be 8o hard if there were more persons of axperience.” In a letter to ,Mise Allee Stone Blackwell, Mrs. Breshkovsky writes: “I am making a tour of our large ecountry ¢o see and to speak. The long years of suffering have had their re- sult. Friendship is sapread everywhere. | Frenchmen and Englishmen wonder to see the solidarity of such a large country with so many different nation- alities.” BARRIER PROTECTS ENGLISH CHANNEL German Warships Unable to Enter BécamBe of Chains of Con- cealed Mines, A British Port on the Southeast Coast, June 380, (By mail).—Across the eastern mouth of the English channel theére still stretches the great barrier which is one of the prin- ciple defenses of the English channel against the visits of German subma- rines. The great barrier consists in gen- eral terms of a serles of ‘‘obstruc- tions” stretched from huge steel buoys, shore to shore, 20 odd milles. Any craft which strikes one of these obstructions straightway explodes a group of mines which spell finis to the intruder. A whole fleet of naval shippirg is constantly engaged in maintaining and patrolling the great barrier. Its existence is no secret to the Germans for they are constantly sending over airplanes to chart the buoys and mark any changes that may have becn made since their last visit. The changes are constantly being made. Here and there along the line are openings through which naval pilots may guide legitinjate craft on their way, but these openings are frequent- 1y altered and not even the alrplanic eve of the German can tell which buoy marks safe passage and which marks destruction. If these mine laying submarines wish to enter the channel, they must take their chances. They must cross submerged, for the patrol boats are on constant duty, and if they escape the traps while sub- merged it can only be said that an- other miracle has happened. Sometimes explosions are heard at night from the great barrier indicat- ing that ‘‘something’” has touched off a group of mines. Immediately the patrols hurry off in the direction of the explosion. What they find there is a well kept secret. Last week the Germans tried a new plan to break the barrier. They sent over three seaplanes with orders to descend low over the great ba rier, at any risk, and shoot the! machine guns into the buoy thus sinking them and the barrier with them. But the patrol boats were on hand and two of the three seaplanes never returned to their German base. .NEW MINISTTR OF JUSTICE. Petrograd, July 24.—M.

RUSSIANS CONTINUE T0 GIVE UP GROUND Generals Struggle to Prevent Re- Jreat in Galicia Signs of a halt in the Russian re- treat in eastern Galicia before the ad- vancing Austro-German armies largely wanting, but indications stronger resistance in some sectors are cropping out. The Russian gen- eerals undoubtedly are doing their utmost to bring their men to a reali- zation of the necessity of implicit obedience, and the present plight of certain sections of the Muscovite armies, because of laxneéss in disci- pline, can hardly help serving as an object lesson. The resisting powers of the Rus- sians are admitted by Berlin to strongly in evidence south of the Brezesany line, and it is here that such fighting capacities as the Rus- sians posses need to be exercised to the limit. The Austro-German forces are pressing southward in an effort to cut in between the Russian forces on their old line and theDneis- tér river, success in which movement would spell disaster for the Russian units in this sector. ‘While Premier Kenensky, with almost dictatorial powers is struggling to right the situation on the Russian front, the Allied armies in the west are holding the mastery over the Germans on the Franco-Bel- gian front. There has been notable activity of late by both the British and French artillery. The situation on the Aisne front appears to show that’ the Crown Prince fears a renew- al of the French offensive here, his countless attacks being considered in army quarters as attempts to fore- stall it. The main movement of the last 24 hours was again in the Craonne sec- tor, where the Crown Prince launched another attack on the French line without experiencing any success. An attempt tor advance was also made north of Sancy. This also was frus- trated. are of armed Siberian Troops Loyal.
