The odd skirts shown here are one
Of plain eponge and one of striped
linen crash. The eponge is brown in
color, for brown is fad Of the season.
and the striped material is black and
white. With the brown skirt you
could wear a white. yellow or cream
waist with great success. or a white
waist trimmed with color, and every
thing harmonizes with black and
white. Cotton crepe and cotton wolfe
are undoubted favorites for the sepa-
rate blouse. but there is also a great
deal of handkerchief linen worn and
handkerchief linen is dyed to all
coIors. Stripes and checks and figured
fabrics are all fashionable. Some way
the season makes it hard to go amiss
because you may just follow your own
taste in all such matters.

Influence upon the results OF this
conflict. Armies may exhaust
themselves in vain so long as the
great navies Of the b~elligerents re-
main afIoat. Taken together, the
fleets OF Britain and France are
three times as formidable as that Of
Germany.
War is a contest also between
forces other than those that r in
arms. The combined wealth of
Great Britain and France, exclusive
of dependencies, is three times great
er than that of Germany. British
and French commerce, twice that Of
Germany, is proceeding, while that
of Germany is paralyzed. No mat
ter what the ordinary fortunes OF
war on land may be, the time must
come in such a struggle as this when
the issue will have to be met at sea.
Even a triumphant army cannot sus-
tain a nation shut in from its neigh
bors and impoverished.
1t has been estimated that at the
time Of Augustus. Rome ruled a pop
ulation of from 100000 900 to 12O,-

SOME PROMISES.

Cincinnati, Enquirer, Dem.)
Two years ago In the general cleo
,tions Of the United States some very
strenuous promises we're made by
congressional candidates MS to the
heavy reductions that would be
made in the high costs OF living IN
case they should be given the oppor-
tunity to push through such meas
ures of relief in the congress of the
UNITED States.
Many of these gentlemen were
elected; many of them have been. re-
nominated, and they will now have
tho greatest of all satisfaction to
persons in public life in exhibiting
in detail to their constituents how
fully and how successfully they have
carried out the promises made two
years ago.
To those whose constituents reside
in cities or in closely inhabited in
dustrial districts where . they can
reach the voters through distribution
OF printed circulars by hand, or even
by that more costly, but possible
more effectiv way of reaching the
voter, by United States mail, we
would suggest the ~adyisability of
taking up the schedules Of f%oodstuffs
article by article, and comparing the
prices of all staples rs they were
quoted retail two years ago with
those that prevail at the present
time.
Those congressman who have low
erred the costs of living surely will
not be forgotten by the voters whea.

LONDON, Sept. 19.-The battle. OF
the Aisne, now in it's 9th day, and
beginning as a real guard action,
has developed into the supreme con-
.flict of the French campaign.
The latest official ews set forth
that there has been q lull in the til
tanic artillery duel. This is taken
to indicate that today's struggle may
be marked by a tremendous advance
of infantry such as made the battle
field of the Marine, a scene of indie
scribable horrors and d~esolation.
The news from Berlin concerning
the position of the German forces
has n more confident ring. The adj
mission has been made that the Ger
mar army was short of ammunition
but this shortage has been rectified
and supplies and achievements are
being sent forward without trouble.
A French officer who has just re-
turned from the battle front Is au
thority for the statement that the
strain on both sides of the line in
France promises soon to get beyond
human endurance. He likens the
antagonists to two exhausted pugil-
lists and says they will soon be unable
to inflict further punishment on
each other, II this situation deyel-
ops, the only possible way for allies

of the past.

the soldiers have been engaged in n

cd, to their side arms and in some
cases, to their hands.
Another fact which stands out
among the varied accounts of the
hostilitfes, is the utter prodigality
with which the Germans throw for
ward man after man in close forma-
tion, in an attempt to carry a posi-
ton. The tremendous losses they
have suffered seem not to have chang
ed these tactics. Burial of the dead
on the battlefield goes on steadily.
