Saw No outrages at Liege.

Robert ]. Thompson. American consul
at Aachen, visited Liege during and after
the capture of the forts. 1t is the opinion
of Mr.. Thompson that no outrage was
committed by Germans during the several
days fighting there.
There are, of course reported out
RACES beyond investigation, either on
account of their vagueness or because
il is impossible to weigh the provoca-
ton. 1t is known, for instance, that
liz natives were killed in Renou-
champ, not far from Ardennes; Ger
man soldiers say that they were killed
because they fired upon them from the

TAPES that are really practical
- are those made in three-quarter
length, we'll fitted about the shout
ders and full about the bottom. They
are roomy, without being cumber-
some, and they are comfortable. But
the cape, plain and simple, is not as
well liked for general wear as the
capelike jacket and those combina-
lions of cape and coat or cape and
jacket, which costume makers have
seized upon for making new effects in
wraps.
The long, full cape is an ideal gar
ment for evening year. For this pur-
pose it is developed in many fabrics.
Black velvet, lined with white satin
or brocades, and white silk OF satin
draped with black lace make them
selves place of honor in wraps for
evening or other full dress. Often
handsome furs in deep collars appear
on these as on other brilliant fabrics
The long cape promises well in the
rich brocades and pushes and en-
broidered silks and crepes so well
adapted to it, especially in conjunc-
ton with fur used in broad collars or
bands for trimming. For warmth the
lighter fabrics are interlined.

Cattaneo, former mayor of Como.
He is the more hopeful because Ital-
ian courts, it is said, give greater
weight to the psychology of such cases
than do American courts. The evil
dence, especially the accused's story,
is not held within such close confines
as in courts here. He is given greater
liberty in the court room. He is priv
ileged to rise and, face to face, contra
dict witness; to express his emo
tons freely at every turn of his trial.
And off the stand he is given free rein
in laying his case before his jury as
favorably as he may.
Charlton told me-" said Judge
Palmieri, that his first instinct when
he saw that he had killed his wife was
to rush out of the house and summon
everybody within reach of his voice.
He did, as matter of fact, cry out.
He felt so sure at the time, he told
me, that he had only to call people
in and explain how he had come to
kill the woman, to have all understood
and forgiven. But then he remem-
bered that he was in a strange land
and he permitted himself to indulge
the opposite reasoning-that by plac-
ing his wife in the trunk and throwing
the body in the lake and disappearing
himself, his Italian neighbors would
simply conclude that the Americans
had moved away in the night and he
would escape"

the bottom and fronts hemmed and

EVERY woman, young or old, likes
l. the comfortable and dainty morn
Ing cap and jacket which We usually
classed as dressing sacques and break
fast caps. 1t is at the beginning OF
the day that they serve their owners
best. Nothing but the kimono jacket
is made with view to being put on in
the shortest possible time, and no
headdress but the breakfast cap is de-
signed to make up for lack of hair
dressing. These virtues of the cap
and jacket are enough to endear them
to the average human.
But they do more than simply add
to ones comfort, for it is the fashion
to make the articles for the breakfast
garb of pretty, gayly colored fabrics
or of lowered materials and to deck
them out with laces and ribbons.
They are bright and honey" looking
and the admiration of other members
of the household. A very pretty
breakfast cap helps to start the day
right. OF such an inexpensive luxury
everyone may have a number so as
to add variety to the morning toilette.
Consider the number of fabrics one
may choose from to make the break
fast jacket. All the fine cotton
weaves, lawn, dimity, organdie, null,
batiste, crepe, voile and challie. They
are made in all colors and in the most
beautiful of lowered patterns. They
are inexpensive and it takes only
short length to make a jacket. Or If
something more rich is wanted there
are the light weight silks, embroidered
crepes, nets, plain and figured, and
laces. But the breakfast jacket is
quite as pretty in the cheaper cotton
goods as in the others.
There are many forms of the jacket.
All pattern companies supply patterns

LIKES THE PRISON STEAKS
Swindler Grins When He Is Rearrest-

Exceedingly Good.

hicago-Clarence A. Kohl grinned
and shook hands cordially with gov
eminent officers who rearrested him
as he was being discharged upon COM
pleting two years Imprisonment at
Leavenworth penitentiary.
During that two years I tasted
more tenderloin and sirloin steaks
than ever expect to see while at lib
erty," explained Kohl upon his arrival
in Chicago.
The prisoner said the federal prison
at Leayenworth was the best boarding
house he ever had patronized, and that
it was also first-class place to room.
Kohl was arrested in Chicago more
than two years ago, and convicted of
having used the mails to defraud. He
had operated a mail order grocery.
While awaiting sentence he jumped
his bond. Then he committed the
same offense in Pittsburgh and was
sentenced to two years Imprisonment
Now he is awaiting sentence for his
former misdeeds. He was also known
as G. Alvin.

TELLS OF BATTLE
German Officers Letter Pic
lures Hand-to-Hand Fighting.
Pays High Compliment to French and
English Troops-DecIares That
Losses on Both Sides Have
Seen Enormous.

London.-General French's latest re-
port of the battle of the Aisne given
out here quotes this missive found on
a German officer of the Seventh Re-
serve corps:
"Cerney, South of Laon, Sept. II,
1914.-My Dear Parents: Our corps
has the task Of holding the heights
south of Cerny in all circumstances
till the Fourteenth corps on our left
flank can grip the enemy's flank. On
our right are other corps. We are
fighting with the English guards, High
landers and Zouaves. The losses on
both sides have been enormous. For
the most part this is due to the too
brilliant French artillery.
"The English are marvelously
trained in making use of ground. One
never sees them, and one is constant
ly under fire. The French airmen per-
form wonderful feats. We cannot get
rid of them. AS soon as an airman
has flown over us, ten minutes later
we get their shrapnel fire in our po-
sition. We have little artillery in
our corps; without it we cannot get
forward.
Three days ago our division took
possession of these heights and dug
itself in. Two days ago, early in the
morning, we were attacked by i'm
mensely superior English forces-one
brigade and two battalions-and were
turned out of our positions. The fell
lows took five guns from us. 1t was
tremendous hand-to-hand fight.
How l escaped myself l am not
clear. l then had to bring up support
on foot. My horse was wounded and
the others were too far in the rear.
Then came up the guard jaeger battal-
ion, Fourth jaeger, Sixth regiment, re-
serve regiment Thirteen, and landwehr
regiments Thirteen and Sixteen, and
with the help of the artillery we drove
the fellows out of the position again.
Our machine guns did excellent work;
the English fell in heaps. -
In our battalion three iron crosses
have been given-one to -, one 70
Captain -, and one to Surgeon -,
(names probably deleted). Let us
hope that we shall be the lucky ones
the next time.
During the first two days of the
battle l had only one piece of bread
and no water. 1 spent the night in
the rain without my greatcoat. The
rest of my kit was on the horses,
which have been left miles behind
with the baggage, and which cannot
come up into the battle because as
soon as you put your nose up from
behind cover the bullets whistle.
"War is terrible. We are all hop
ing that decisive battle will end the
war, as our troops already have got
around Paris. If we best the English
the French resistance will soon be
broken. Russia will be very quickly
dealt with of this there is no doubt
1--WE have received splendid help
from the Austrian heavy artillery at
Maubeuge. They bombarded Fort Ger
fontaine in such way that there was
not ten meters of parapet which did
not show enormous craters made by
the shells. The armored turrets were
found upside down.
Yesterday evening, about six, in the
valley in which our reserves stood,
there was terrible cannonade so that
we saw nothing of the sky but
cloud of smoke. We had few cas-
ualties."

to be a sleeved garment. The In
genuity of designers has managed to
introduce the lines of the cape into
cloaks, and has evolved cape-jackets
and cape-coats that are the most novel

wear in wraps.
