Spring Fashions
in Suits and Shoes
New Outfits for Spring Engage the At
tention of Men, Women, and Children
BY MIss EIizabeth WINSTON Gurney.

by Miss Elizabeth MinslOW Gurncy.
The 80 cent shoe store is showing
some classy looking shoes for men,
women. and children, for every day
wear. Tans win be as popular as ever
this spring, and mannish styles for
street wear will still be liked by the
women. More women's shoes with but
tons instead Of laces are noticed AS
for materials, calf, undressed leather,
suede, velvet, kid, and patent leather
are used.
The women's spring suits at Il. II.
Brennan show the liking for corded
effects in the two-toned whipcords and
Bedford cords so much used. A plainly
tailored suit Of dark blue serge, Of fine
quality, with hardly visible stripe, was
particularly smart in its cut IL had
the new idea for revers, large rever,
with embroidery ON one side, and a
smaller lapel on the other side, Civ
ing the picturesque effect that is
pleasing in the new suits. The new
styles without any extremes or freak
mess make a tasteful selection Of
suits in this store.
d. Ross and Son Company carry a
good line OF merchandise in their
stationery department. There are the
Crane writing papers, and standard
makes of pencils. Convenient paste
tubes, and large black marking cray
ons are useful for any Office.
The cowboy fob is a catchy novelty
at Conners leather store. IL consists
of a small leather holster a correct
miniature Of rancher's case. and a
deadly black six-shooter all COM
plete.
a look in the Wilmington Hat Com
/ paHy's store shows that the rage for
/ corded effects in everything has
reached TO mems headgear Many OF
the soft felts are made Of corded ma
terials, and many OF the plain felts
have corded bands.
The delectable chocolate Easter
eggs in which Wilmington takes great

 ARMIES.

Washington, Nov 14-The secret of
 the almost complete failure thus far
 of the supposedly invincible Turkish
 army is not far to seek, in the opin-
 ion of the officers of the general staff
 Of the United States army, who are studying the question from every an
 gle. False economy and poor ad- ministration are said to tell the story. |. "In the days of Sultan Abdul Ha- the general staff, stthe Turkish army
 would have swept away the allied for ces like chaff before the wind. That monarch had aVaiIed himself of the German Kaiser's offer to. train the Turkish army on the German system. Not only were the German military schools, corresponding to our West
 who eagerly embraced the opportun-
 ity by hundreds but galaxy of bril- liant German officers were sent to Fur key to personally instruct the sul1tan's, soldiers. At their bead was Won Der GoBtz, one of the foremost soldiers of
 the world and afterwards a field mar SIlal in. the German army. So effec- tive was his work that the Turkish army, fighting on it's own ground was practically invincfble even against one of the great powers.
 Then came the downfall of the sul- tan and the new regime in Turkey. There was a feverish desire to develop the country materially and the liber- al sums of money. formally allotted to the nDaintenance of the army were di- verted to the improvement of roads and to the construction of public works on a farce scale. The German instruct tors were dismissed and more serious error, because of their loyalty to the deposed Abdul Hamid, the young Turkish officers. educated in German schools and methods, the very flower of the army. were also driven off.
 Reorganization began and progress ed steadily and with few competent and capable officers the army was soon afflicted with dry rot No new supplies were bought
 There was one other important cause for the Turkish defeat, 7 said the officer in conclusion, ''and that was aVoidable by any government alert to the situation in the Balkans. Old Abdul Hamid, through his spies would surely have. known what the present Turkish government failed to realize that the Bu1 u1gaTfanS and ServianS had entered into secret alliance and were organizing for this very struggle When the critical moment came on Septena- Der 30, and the order for mobilization went out, all of the Bulgarians were tie within six days-a marvellous mili- 1 tary record It was fourteen days be- | fore the Turkish army was mobilized and then in place of the 440,000 we'll 1 trained troops. there was a makeshiff little army of 140.000 men, composed l in large part of worthless raw re- | crl1itB, for another unpardonable error | had been committed in allowing one | third of the whole army to be dis [ charged even before the new conscr1pts had replaced them" "
