We believe New York can create beautiful clothes and can ectablish for herself a definite piace in tho world of fashion, But we feel that any attempt to link suggestively war and its horrors with the dress of women is the quintessence of bad art, NO EXCUSE FOR DRESS THAT SUGGESTS WAR. “The halo of romance that used to surround war, and that was undoubt- edly responsible for the war-time atyles in the past, is gone to-day, To American women war represents suf- fering and tragedy und terror. To us there seems no excuse for the asso- elation of a beauti‘ul dress design and a battie-fleld.” All of which is an interesting com- meatary on the differing mental at- titudes of women of to-day and of another day. For in the past many of the atyles gleefully adopted by women were by-products of the battle-field. One. is bound to note that most of these modes were inartistic and ugly to @ degree, and we may be very glad that nothing remotely resem- bling them will be seen at the Fashion Bhow.

At this period the red “Liberty caps’ and hate and caps gay with tri-color ribbon were most popular. After the Battle of the Nile. in 1798, everything that could be named for the hero was A le Nelson. Emma, the beautiful Lady Hamilton, set the pace. When Nelson was sighted off Capri she wrote him a note, telling him how Impatiently they were await. ing his arrival in Naples, and a “My dress from head to foot is & la Nelson. Even my shawl is in blue, with gold anchors, My earrings are Nelson's anchors. In short, we are be-Nelsoned all over." Wellington boots, named for the Duke of Wellington, came into vogue about the time of the Bat! loo. With them appeare one gers (they had been worn very tight), which were copied from the Cossacks. Men, as well as women, affected bat. tlefield fashions in those days. In 1867, after the Crimean war, Zousve, Turkish and Greek jack came into style. The raglan coat was named for Lord ) a teh commander in this war. Garibaldi was the next to give his name to a style. He was honored with a blouse of silk, braided The battles and embroidered, aro to this day kept names of two vivid ehi \. After the Franco-Prusian war in 1871 large bows were worn on the head in imitation of the peasants of Alsace, and Bismarck’s :ame was given to a dull tan color. Even so late as the last Balkan war, the western world was flooded with the Balkan blouse and with Bulgarian colors and designs. But New York's fashion show will be more than neutral, {t will be abso- lutely and entirely pacific. And the proceeds will go to those pathetic non-combatants, the wives and chil- dren of reservists called from Amer!- ca, for whose relief a committee of mercy has already been organized by Mra. J.

AT NORTH RIVER PIER; PART OF CREW FLEES (Contin...1 from First Page.) burst out. pour through hatch No, 1. Lines were run from the pier and thrown into the hatches. Tho few Men who undertook to go down into the hatches were driven back, reeling. | Pier Superintendent John Watson, fearing the effect of the smoke clouds on the passengers already aboard the Olympic, on the north side of the game pier, closed the corrugated tron curtains and ordered that no more Passengers be admitted to the pier. The fire kept gaining until city firemen were called at 8 o'clock. Dep- uty Chief Martin and Acting Battal- fon Chief Ross took charge. They were assisted on the river by the fire- boats Duane, Willett and New Yorker. The firemen could do no more tn the way of entering the burning hatch than the crew had done. A score who tried were helped to the pier to get their breath again, Some dam- age was done to cargo tn the com- partment next aft to the one afire by streams of water used to keep ths walls cool. Pp, A. &. Franklin and Marine Su- perintendent Wright arrived at the fire at about the same time that Chief Kenlon took charge in person, with Deputy Chief Worth and three or four battalion chiefs added to his forces. The firemen had to work below in narrow companionways, full of steamy smoke, and squads were obliged to relieve each other in re- lays every few minutes, The out- coming firemen were invariably sick and staggering. ‘When the fire was under control, Capt, Lakestream of the firehnat Duane led seven men into the hold just back of the burning compart- ment. The men dropped right and left of the hose line, Capt. Lake- stream scrambled to # hatchway lad- der on his hands and knees. He just had strength enough to climb to the top, and shout “Help!

Deputy Chief Martin, shouting for volunteers, went down and, followed by fifteen firemen, passed the captain and seven unconscious men to the open air. Capt. Lakestream was sent to his quarters.

Mr. Franklin announced that the eighty first and second cabin passen- gers would be cared for in hotels un- til the vesse. was ready to sail, prob- and the 1,400 holding steerage ticketa would be sent to boarding houses.
