CHRISTMAS WREATHS.

Order your Christmas wreaths
as early as possible If you wish
20 have the most satisfactory re-
suits. Later on, when every one
is so busy, one is apt to get what
is left and be thankful.
A wreath of lockwood, with
branches of holly, statice, cones
and mistIetoe arranged on il
and also a wide red satin bow,
makes an exceedingly fine look
ing wreath. Wreaths made en-
tirely of statice, with sprays of
holly and mistIetoe on them and
red satin ribbon bows, are much
liked.
Every one knows and likes the
holly wreaths. especially when
of great size and thickness and
plentifuIly sprinkled with red
berries. These three styles OF
wreaths are probably the best of
ell the various wreaths made up
and sold at Christmas time.

London, Oct. /, 4.20 A. M.-During
the strategical retreat of the allies
southwark from the Belgian frontier,
the French troops exaeted from the
Germans bloody revenge for the
French defeat at Sedan A years be-
fore.
On this same battlefield, according
to the Paris correspondent of the Daily
Mail, the Germans suffered one Of the
worst defeats of their present invasion.
They were led into a trap which cost
them thousands of men, he says. The
French could have held their position
indefinitely but strategy required
them to continue falling back with the
remainder of the allies along the line.
Here is the story of the second battle
of Sedan as told by the correspondent:
THE French general ordered his
troops to fall back across the river and
take up positions on the opposite
heights. The bridges were mined but
were left standing in order to deceive
the Germans into thinking that the
French were retreating hastily, The
ruse succeeded. The Germans ad7
vaneed across the bridges in close for

Penr0se's Answer

Philadelphia, Oct. Limited States
Senator Boise Penrose issued formal
statement tonight in reply to an ad-
dress delivered by Theodore Roosevelt
at Washington (Progressive) party
rally tonight in which Col. Roosevelt
condemned political bosses and said:
The men who have surrendered
their will and their Judgment into the
keeping of Mr.. Barnes, or Mr.. Penrose,
Or MIR. Murphy or Mr.. sullivan, are not
tit to be free citizens in free repub-
lie
In his statement Senator. Penrese
said in part:
Il cannot think that MIR. Roosevelt
really means what he says when he
uses the time worn phrases regarding
bossism. He really cannot believe
that the people of Pennsylvania are SO
stupid as to be caught by these phras-
es under the present circumstances, in
view of the fact that Mr.. Roosevelt has
been delivered bodily into the con-
troll of one Of the most diseredited and
notorious municipal bosses who has
ever appeared in American. politics.
For 10 years | enjoyed Mr.. Reoseveit's
confidence to an unusual extent. / sup
ported him in all his political efforts, and
at time when MIR. Hanna and many
others were anxious to defeat him for
the nomination for the presidency. l
think perhaps | was among the foremost
who were of substantial assistance to him
in bringing about his nomination and
election. After he had solemnly inform
ed me that under no circumstances would
he be a candidate for reelection to the
presidency, l felt il my duty as a seia-
tor and a Republican to support Mr..
Taft. who was the President of the Unit
ed States, his first nomination having
been forced by MIR. Roosevelt upon the
Republicans of the country by the most
any national convention,
mo patriotic American can fail to re-
greet that Mr. Roosevelt has permitted
himself to fall so far from his high es-
tate. He had filled the greatest office in
the world. Almost any kind of recogni-
| ton could have been his in the years 10
come. He has seea fit to throw all this
! glorious and splendid opportunity away
and to belittle his fame by tainted asso-
citation with n crooked municipal con-
| tractor in Pittsburg. His great political
career was based upon the splendid ma
tional Republican party. He is now IN
Pennsylvania promoting Democratic can
| didates."

Washington, Oct. l,-October Is was
agreed upon today by Democratic leaders
as a. tentative date for the adjournment
Of the present session of Congress, and
the Senate steering committee quickly
framed a legislative program designed to
conclude pending legislation by that date.
II is probable an agreement will be
reached whereby members generally will
leave Washington by the middle of next
week. leaving the party leaders on guard
until adjournment.
At the White House Oct. 10 was men
toned as date for adjournment, but
when the Democratic leaders returned TO
the Capitol after a conference with the
President it was determined that at least
two weeks would be necessary to allow
the Senate to finish pending legislation.
The steering committee after an hour OF
discussion agreed that legislation should

hill and measures new In conference be-
tween the two houses, including the Clay
TON antitrust bill and the Alaska coal
leasing bill.
Indications now are that the plan to
have Congress take up the administration
bill for government purchase and opera
ton of ships at a special session in No
vember, following the elections, will be
abandoned with an understanding that
the measure will be taken up at the
Opening OF the regular December session.
