The Rest Gown

IT7E SELDOM pay much attention
w to the rest gown which should
W play an important part in the
wardrobe. 1t does not necessarily need
to be Of a negligee type, just made over
soft. loose lines. Since the high waist
continues in favor. this is a compare
lively easy matter.
Select some soft, pliable material of
silk or wool. The bodice made in sur
plice style would be effective. A fichu
Of soft lace or white mousseline softens
the lines. A pleating OF lace around the
sleeves finishes them in a dainty man
ner.
A bow Of lace with long ends catches
the fichu at the center.
Rest gowns may be made of any in
expensive material and look very well.
Cotton crepes. voileS or challiS are

"If you have any faith in human

A letter accompanying the "ad'
made further appeal.
"I have entered upon the last lap
OF my term Of Imprisonment" said
the letter, land now the future, which
has been vague and distant thing,
has given way to keen concern for

Frightful Stories Of Attacks
Upon Defenseless

IN A SAVAGE STATE
Every Ravine Dangerous Ambush
Miners and Guards Engage in Bat
tlc-3,OOO Rounds Fired.

Charleston, w. Va, July 27.-Three
companies of state militia from Mount
Gretna, Pa, arrived by special train to
day and marched on the Paint Creek
Mining section where Gozen men are
reported to have been killed in fighting
between Baldwin detectives and strik-
ing coal miners. No complete fatally
returns were available today, but
mining official fresh from the scene
of the trouble said:
. "Hell has broken loose. We hope
the soldiers will put stop to it."
The official refused to discuss the
situation further. The private guards
of the mining companies are believed
to have instituted the bull pen and
other repressive measures.
The known dead are William String
er, and Gus Pinson, private guards.
William Phaup, chief of the Baldwin
detectives, is at Sheltering Arms Hos
pital with bullets in both arms. He

yesterdays fighting around Mucklow
are not known
Adjutant General Elliott, and 25
men of Company c, are encamped
near Mucklow but the territory is too
big for them
For a distance Of IL miles around
the mouth of Paint Creek the center
of one large company's operations, the
inhabitants are said to have lapsed
into Il state of primitive savagery,
spurred on by the depredations o.
the private guards. Frightful stories
of attacks on dcfenseless women and
raids on homes reached here.
That more than two men were KILL
ed on both sides was considered GER
tain by men who came out Of the
troubled region today. They said the
back woodsmen had joined with the
strikers in the war upon the private
guards.
Every ravine affords means for
deadly ambush. The militiamen un-
familiar with the ground, unacqualnt-
ed to the guerilla warfare of the
back-woodsmen cannot hope to cope
with the situation except in large mum
berS.
Six hundred miners and hillsmen
fought against several hundred prl-
vate guards in the engagement near
Mucklow yesterday. Over 3,ooo
rounds were fired. The miners are
desperately poor from three months
striking for higher wages and better
working conditions. Their attack cen
tered on the company's stores. The
outcome of the fighting is not known
in Charleston. Communication with
the Paint Creek section is possible on
" by foot, all wires being down.
That the fighting was renewed to-
dav was considered certain. The fran
ic call for the state troops made by
the mine owners was interpreted here
as meaning that the miners more than
held their own in previous engage
ments.
