Theodore stood idly in front of the
open window of her room at the inn.
She looked directly at the mountains
that loomed up in the light of a sp1en-
did moon that would be al its height
about II o'clock. Just the right time,
she thought. The right time. for
what? for whom? The double thought
brought an impatient toss of the head.

odious vandalism"
The minister of the interior added that
the destruction OF these buildings was ac-
cepted as indicating that the Germans
considered their situation desperate.
Quotes German Statement.
NJ Malvy cited the following editorial.
which he said had been taken from the
Frankfort Gazette of September S:
Let us respect the French cathedrals.
especially the cathedral of Rheims, which
is one OF the most magnificent basiliscs
OF the middle ages and is particularly
dear TO the Germans since the master
OF Bamberg found inspiration in its
statues and porticos for many OF his
drawings. The cathedrals of Laon,
Rouen. Amiens and Beauvais also are
masterpieces Of gothic art.
"All these towns are now occupied by
the Germans. We consider with venera-
ton these grandiose edifices. We will
respect them as our fathers did in 1870 -
French DrIveH Back.
Rheims has been under steady bonn
bardment by the Germans since Tues
Cay. The German batteries were mount
ed in the forts which had been con-
structed originally by the French and
abandoned.
The city itself. one Of the most beau
tiful in France. was practically un-
fortified. The line of forts extend
around it at a radius of about six miles.
Several of the dismantled defenses to
the northeast OF the city are within a
short distance of the Aisne and its trib-
utary. the Suippes. These are occupied
by the Germans. To the north OF the
city. on the hill of Brimont, guarding
the railway line to Laon and the Aisne
canal. are three strong works.
According to announcement from the
war office today these heights have been
retaken by the Germans from the allies.
From within the city the French have
been forced to fee in the face OF the
furious bombardment which threatened
their humiliation. The inhabitants. who.
for several days, have been hidden in
their cellars. also have fed the city, and,
now. Rheims is deserted.
The allies have taken possession OF the
defenses OF La Pompelle, five miles south
east OF Rheims. and TO the east of the
city they have repulsed a number OF
counter attacks and made considerable
progress.

Now comes the national cotton fashion

To further the use-cotton idea among
the American women, society leaders Of
Washington will hold a cotton fashion
show here some time in October. It will
be modelled after the Paris fashion show
and the designers will be society women.
Society buds will pose as models for
the new cotton gowns and frOcks which,
Instead OF being named Worth or Lu-

will take the names OF the fair designers.

Ohio Women Interested.

Mrs. Timothy T. Ansberry. wife Of Rep
resentative AnSberry. Of Ohio. said that
the women of Ohio were very much in
terested in the movement to aid the cot
ton industry through the suggestions
made. She called attention to the fact
that not only dresses but cotton sup
plies for various household uses should
be featured in the bargain sale week.
The bergain sales should apapeal to
brides-elect intent on selecting their
trousseauX," said Mrs. Ansberry, and
at the fashion show exhibitions should
be played Of everything made from cot
ton. II will thus give the American peo-
pie an opportunity to see how great a
part this cotton question plays in our
daily lives. ! am especially enthusiastic
over the cotton fashion show and will
certainly enter some designs OF mine Of
pretty cotton frocks."
Another Congressional belle. Miss Sally
Williams. daughter of Senator John
Sharp Williams, was among those VINO
pledged hearty support last night Miss
Williams comes from a cotton State and
is naturally intensely Interested. II
American women only knew the distress
and tribuIation which has been brought
about in this awful slump in the cotton
market through the war / am sure they

wearing cotton goods for our CoUntry's s
