that the change has taken place. We
hasten to catch up, wondering how 1t is

such a various array of clothes for
every passing day and week.
The shops, realizing the insistent de-
mand for tafeta, have availed them
selves of the opportunity of supplying
it in all its phases. widths and qualities
The demand has been so great that even
America has forced the recognition Of
France by the fine quality Of the American
tatfeta- and many or the leadlng french
cOuturiers have bought large quantities
from our manufacturers creating an en-
trely new state Of affairs. Up to a very
recent time the French and Italian mills
have excelled US by far.
Moire taffeta is even more attractive
than the plain fabric, for it has an addi-
tional sheen which is alluring. An attrac-
tive feature Of taffeta frocl1s is that they
really need but very little trimming Ex-
cept for little lace at the neck. many OF
the prettiest Of the Partisan frocks depend
entirely upon the cut and draping.
Among the new fabrics, which include
cotton duvetyne. novelty epOuge and Eolfine
there is another material closely allied to
the aforementioned material. 1t is called

a. chenille cord woven so that il stands up

A strife goes on between the pleated skirt
and the draped skirt At present the
drapery seems to have scored the greatest
number of points. They are divided into
two type; one has the wide drapery at the
hips. while the other shows the drapery in

The skirts continue in both cases narrow

those of the tailored variety Pleated skirts
are being seen, especially below tunics and

have the advantage over the other tight

w spring blossoms, flowers are
coming into their own again for
trimmings on hats and gowns and for a
touch of brightness on bodice and coat.
The hat whose brim is fairly massed

it is placed with a saucy tilt. In the

danger to the allies in taking ad-
vantage of the opening. This is the
very condition of warfare desired by
a military genius. It permits him to
put his intuitions to the risk, and by
sheer audacity win a great victory.
If there Is a brilliant offensive COM
mander among the allies, he might
well seize this moment to strike at
the German flank. Particularly might
such a move be planned by the
French general staff because flank
ing operations are the essence of the
French theory of warfare, in opposi-
ton to the German belief that en-
velOpment Is the only effective basic
principle of strategy.
While this opportunity exists for
the allies, it necessarily creates q
counter opportunity for the Germans.
The possibility that fanking move
ment might be driven into the sea,
would give to a German commander
Gus, and maybe effective, of chang
ing front and assaulting from the
new direction.
Assistance of the great unknown
quantity Of warfare has not been bet
ter demonstrated anywhere during
the present campaign than in these
mingled possibilities Of brilliant Sue
cess or serious reverse now existing
along the Belgian coast. Neither side
has demonstrated 1t possesses a mod

would be interesting, however, to see
what General Won Hindenberg might

NEW YORK. Oct. 26.-The German
offensive in southwestern Belgium
has made progress across the User
canal. but in doing so has had to
give ground along the coast. The
fire of the British warships appar-
emily had compelled the Germans to
move a few miles inland. and to at
tempt their advance on Kunkirk
away from the sea front.
This is a serious disadvantage. The
coast line has served hitherto, as ab-
solute protection against a flank at
tack by the allies, since to get around
the German right, it would have been
necessary for the allies to march into
the North Sea. Now, wisA belt of
unoccupied territory between the
German right and the sea, possibility
of a flank attack exists.
Whether it will be attempted de-
pends OIL the number of men the
allies can spare from the main
front. without a very large force,
the maneuver would be dangerous.
The Germans, by changing a part of
their front, might succeed in driving
the flanking force into the sea. This
counter stroke, during its execution,
would take from the allies the war
ship support, since any force used to
threaten the German right flank
would necessarily interpose itself be-
line of fire from the British monitors
and sunboats.
Thus, while the Germans are TAX
ing a risk in moving away from the
coastal protection Of their right
flank, there would be considerable

Cotton Forces to Back
Rural Credits Measure

Rural credits legislation will be
strongly pushed at the next session Of
Congress by some Of the Southern men,
bers who are interested in relief for
the cotton producers, as well as by a
large contingent Of members generally,
who believe such legislation should be
had. Congressman Henry Of Texas said
today that everything possible would be
done next session to secure q compre-
hensive rural credits law as one Of the
best methods of aiding in the solution
OF the troubles Of the cotton producers
"A comprehensive rural credits bill
will be urged to the utmost from the
beginning Of the session next winter &"
said Mr.. Henry. TT will be a bill which
will aim at a rural credit system inde-
pendent Of the present national banking
system. Nothing will be left undone
from the time Congress meets In De-
cember to get cotton relief legislation
The South must have it. Conditions
there are much worse than the people
of the North realize. Night riders are
already active in Texas burning gins
and trying to prevent sales Of cotton at
less than 10 cents. I intend to go
through my own State and visit other
parts Of the South to see the conditions
at first hand
Mr.. Henry said he intended to make
speeches in the North. to farmers and
commercial organizations to acquaint
them with the true conditions.

RIGHT T0LAND ARMY
IN CANADA CLAIMED

That the landing Of German troops
upon Canadian soil would not be a VIOLA
ton Of the Monroe doctrine is the con-
tention of Count Won Bernstorff. the Ger
man ambassador. The ambassador
thinks that as Canada is now sending
troops to Europe to fight against the
Germans, there would be no infringe
snent Of that doctrine were his country
to seek a temporary foothold on this
continent.
The ambassador discussed his note Of
September 3 to the State Department,
which related to the attitude Of his gov
ernment toward the Monroe doctrine,
and gave assurances that Germany, in
the event of victory. did not attempt to
undertake any South American colonial
ton scheme. Only South America was
referred to at that time, said the am
bassador, because there has never been
q suggestion that Germany might pos
sfbly attempt colonization elsewhere on
this continent.

Girls Fingers Cut
Bv the GhurkaS

PARIS, Oct. 4-(By Mail to New
York.)-Bandaged fingers mark the path
OF the Ghurka regiments through
friendly and admiring France, and the
victims of the blood lust" of the
famous little fighters from Nepal are
the French women and girls.
Civilians and girls all want to see the
kukri, or wicked-looking knife, which
the Ghurka prefers to a bayonet. The
Ghurkas, however. have their own GUS
toms, and it Is against their religion
to draw the weapon without drawing
blood. This difficulty was overcome
when British soldiers suggested that
the curious should allow a slight cut
to be made on their fingers. There is
no lack Of volunteers, and a bandaged
finger Is quite popular among the
French girls.
