II have been talking with British Off
GERS from the front who tell of the won.
derful GOODNESS and daring of the Brit
ish soldiers in the lighting around Mons,
"The shooting of the British infantry
men on the firing line was wonderful
Every time Germans head showed
above trench and every time the Ger
man infantry attempted TO rush posi-
tion, there came steady, whitening
rifle fire from the khaki-clad men lying
in extended formation along the wide
battle front Their firing was not the
usual firing Of nervous men shooting
without aiming; rather ii was the calm
and careful craftsmanship OF men one
sees on English rife ranges firing with
all the artificial aids permitted TO the
match expert.
when quick action was necessary the
men showed no nervousness, no excite
ment; they showed the cool. methodical
efficiency for which the British army is
noted.
IF the British lost heavily, the Ger
mans must have lost terribly
Zone of the German prisoners said:
"'We mad never expected anything like
that; it was staggering
THE British troops went 10 their posi-
tions silently, but happy There was
no singing, because it was forbidden, but
as the men deployed to the trenches
there were various sallies of humor in
the dialects of the English, Irish and
Scotch counties. the coclney was there
with quips about "Unclc Bill' and every
lrishman who went into the firing line
wished he had money to buy little
horse SO that he might take slap at
the Uhlans.'
AS for the cavalry, the officers de-
clare, their charges against the Germans
were superb. They charged as Berserks
might have done, They gave the Uhlans
the surprise OF their lives
with the close OF the first series OF
combats between the British and Ger
mans, the scene of interest shifted to 1
the Paris railway station, where the in
jured British soldiers were being taken.
The handling Of the wounded was all
that could be desired; everything was
perfectly organized and without theatri-
,al display"

this new material. OF course it Is
made to be draped as the majesticaly
stiff taffeta of two years ago could
never be; in its chiffon softnesS and
delicate glow it is replacing the long
favored charmeuse. You may use
these taffetas in your day frock, or in
the Iigllt-eolored affair that you dance
in; and you may have them plain or
