War between Turkey and Greece has broken out in earnest, and severe fighting has been going on the past few days. The Greeks seem to more than hold their own so far. Thisis righteous war on the part of Greece, and she will have the sympathy of nearly the whole civilized world. United States will profit by the war, if 1t is continued, more than any oth- CT nation. Wheat has already taken an advance in price in consequence. What the result will be is hard to predict. Greece is far inferior to Turkeysin the size of army, but the Greeks have the right on their side, and it is hoped they will come out victorious. >.

Smith & Murrav, A FEAST OF GOOD
 THINGS TO-DAY. w onen's Tailored
 Suits.

Top-Notch of style; top notch of tailoring. No wonder that more and more women buy ready made dresses. Good sense dic- tates the course. To be sure, there used to be sameness of fab rics and colorings.
 But that is past.
 The ready-to-wear suits to-day are almost as varied as the equal priced dress fabrics by the yard, while the tailoring would cost more by far, if done to your order, than we ask for the completed suits.
 What we tell you of to-day-are suits purchased yesterday of New York merchant tailors-compris- ing sample suits and odd ones, at 8 reduction of fully one third off cost.
