 ROME, Sept. 1.-Turkey has de' cided to throw her fortunes in with that of Germany and Austria against the other European nations. The en- tire Turkish army is now being mob- ilized, with the first line of battle, consisting of 100000 Mohammedans, under command of German officers.

The declaration of war against the allies is expected at any moment.
 The Balkans AfIame.
 The army of Greece is being rap idly mobilized and it is believed that war will be declared against Turkey before twenty-four hours.

With Turkey, Roumania and Bulgaria tearing at the throats of Ser via, Greece and Montenegro, 1t will leave but little of the European con. tinent which is not engaged in the death struggle.

F oreisn Exchange
On London Rises
Furry 10 Created in East, But Con.
ditIons Elsewhere Are
Good

New York, Sept. 2S.-By reason of
important bearing on the information
al money markets, today's violent rise
in foreign exchange on London over.
Swallowed all other financial develop
ments. Cables rose to IS. O2 and de.
mand sold at IS. oil each representing
gain Of 3 cents per pound sterling
over Saturday and restoring rates to
the highest quotations for these re-
mittances since the latter part of
August.
The advance was occasioned largely
by an increased demand for London
bills by persons having large obliga-
tions to discharge abroad early in
October, when many ninety day bills
will expire. 1t was the general ex-
pectation that these maturities would
be met by the new grain and cotton
bills, but the supply of the latter has
been especially small, because of the
embargo on exports of that staple.
Moreover. the $1OO,OOO,OOO gold pool
was counted on to relieve the ex-
change situation, but delay in the con-
summation Of that project has added
to the general confusion Of the mar
ket.
Apart from the furry in foreign ex-
change. which reacted slightly later,
most of the days news was OF a con-
sentative character. Business In the

Gated by traffic returns. A significant

WAS possible for the rival armies to
maneuver, and the fact that both
f9~cas were tied to one line of rail-
road.
Such factors are not exertlng any
influence on the important battle
Nevertheless, a similar situation has
been produced, owing, first to the Inn
mense power Of resistance possessed
by an army which Is amply equipped
with heavy artillery and has sufiic-
lent time to fortify itself, and sec
onI, to the vast size Of the forces
engaged, which at the present time
stretch more than half way across
France.
The extent of the country covered
Ia so great as to render slow any eff
forts to maneuver and march around
to flank in order to escape the cost
" expedient of frontal attack
against heavily fortified positions.
To state that the methods of at
tack must approximate more closely
to those of siege warfare the greater
the resemblance of the defenses to
those OF fortress is a platitude but
1t is one which will bear repetition
if it in any way assists to make the
present situation clear.
There is no doubt that the position
on the Aisne was not carelessly Sc
lected by the German staff after the
retreat had begun. From the choice
of ground and the care with which
the fields of fire had been arranged
to cover all possible avenues of APP
proaches and from the amount OF
work carried out 1t Is clear that the
contingency of having to act on the
defensive was not overlooked when
the details of the strategically often
sive campaign were arranged.

WHY DEFINITENESs PAYS
IN ADVERTISING

Here and there one finds mer-
chant who says he has tried adver-
Using but never made 1t pay. The
chances are ten to one that he sim
ply needs to study definiteness.
The principle of the specific fact,
and the specific instance, affect all
writing and speaking They make
one mans advertising a partial fail
ure, while another's is a money get
ter.
If one man visits strange city, he
comes back talking something like
this: 1T was fine, grand, splendid"
His talk evaporates into vague, gen.
eral phrases. The people that hear
him talk know no more about that
city than before. He has few listen
ers, whatever his subject OF CONVEX
sation may be-.
Another man remarks about the
same town that 1t is full of buildings
twenty stories high, that the streets
were so crowded he had to wait ten
minutes at one cross walk to get
over, and that people were always IN
q hurry and the street railway con-
ductors always said Step Lively"
After such a man has talked few
moments, you get some idea about
the place he describes. You see 1t
with your own eyes.
Every man who ever made a sue.
cess as a newspaper writer has learn
ed that you must give personal in
cidents and actual happenings to
make any kind of news article inter-
esting. II the reader can't see the
thing with his own eyes, the copy
won't sell.
Just the same in advertising. II
you merely say Best stock in town"
| the reader may or may not believe
| you. Try picking out the best values
! in our store, give few details about
them so the purchaser can get some
idea what they are, then name the
price The reader then sees the bar
gain with his own eyes, is Interested
and feels desire to buy.
That is all there is to good adver-
Using. 1t does not require wit, nor
literary nor technical skill. Just
come down to brass tacks.' Give
the plain facts about an article as
you would talk to a buyer over the
counter. Try it and see!

BLACK VELVET COMBINES
WITH WHITE

Paris. First, 1t was the white sat
in hat that the milliners offered as
the last thing in headgear; and now
1t is the black velvet hat again.
Evidently there is no road that
leads far away from this kind Of mil
linery. 1t is not easy to tell whe-
Their the milliners went to get away
from it, or whether the women will
not permit it.
1t is easily seen, by watching buy
ers that the preference goes toward
that color rather than any other; this
could be sorrowfully explained If the
buyers were French women who con-
slider It in better taste to avoid col
ors while so many thousands of their
country women are in mourning; this
decision was reached in the first
week of the war and was quite in
keeping with the national air of sol
emnity with which these people went
to battle.
But there are constant openings in
all centers of fashion because the
Americans are plentiful and seem to
have money to buy few clothes, IL
not the usual amount. This is for
reasons OF necessity, as every travel
er has lost baggage somewhere along
the line; also for reasons more hui
mane-the giving of employment to
girls and women who have no other
means of staving off starvation.
In this especial field the individual
charities of American women have
been numerous, but necessarily re-
stricted on account of the paucity OF
luggage allowed by the railroad au-
thorities. However, there have been
new fashions galore, for the French
designers had all their things ready
by the fifth of August and managed
to conduct the semiannual openings
as usual.
The great shops have been able to
pull together and reopen and the gal
lerles Lafayette, as usual have come
to the front with remarkably good
fashions at moderate prices.
At all the milliners the race Is be-
tween the black hat trimmed with
white, and the white hat trimmed in
its own color. Women prefer the
former, although there is no doubt
that the lack of color tells seriously
on the looks OF the average woman
1t is difficult to understand why every
woman thinks she can wear all black
No amount of arguing Will persuade

THE BOY AND
THE FRUIT TREE

All moral authorities condemn the
small boy for stealing fruit. Yet when
the orator comes back to his native
town for Old Home Week, he seems
to count his kid record as fruit
stealer as one of his assets. At least
he delights in recounting these eX-
ploits. Many people entertain the
subconscious feeling that the boy
who doesn't raid the neighborhood is
lacking in initiative, and not likely
to succeed in life.
Let it be admitted that the sedate
and peace loving citizen, standing be-
widered amid the shadows OF a
raided orchard, constitutes a picture
having humorous aspects. Over the
fence he hears the sound of scram-
bling and scampering legs. with an
accompaniment of suppressed gig
giles. He is helpless in the darkness
to pursue the elusive youngsters. II
is funny, but somehow he fails to
get the point OF the joke.
Also there is the viewpoint OF the
gardener. Raising fruits and veget'
ables is his sport, just as baseball is
