IN SIGHT OF PARIS

The German cavalry are almost
IN the suburbs of Paris and the
monster Zepperlin dirigibles are
lowering like gigantic vultures over
the frightened city. Paris may fall,
as she has fallen numbers of times
nut that won't end the war as it
dld in 1870 when France alone was
hghting the terrible Teuton. The
French army is not cooped up as
II was at Sedan and Metz, but is
still formidable fighting force in
the field and Great Britain is lust
getting her blood warmed for a
good start.
These two nations cant afford to
be defeated nor to accept ANYTHING
less than victory in the end. Defeat
Tor them means their practical
Nassalage us second or third rate
nations to their imperial master,
the German kaiser, and with this
lntolerable thought to spur them
they will tax their resources to ex-
haustion before confcssing them
selves conquered. And then there is
that huge, slow-moving bulk of the
Russian millions rapidly gathering
momentum in eastern Germany.
Even with France laid waste and
PROSTATE, it would seem that Ger
many,s troubles are Just beginning.
England still rules the waves with
her colossal navy, driving German
commerce from every sea. and while
that lasts and the Russian bear
Keeps busy gnawing its way to the
heart of Germany. the war will
continue and it is hard to see how
even the Incompatible military ma
chine of the kaiser can fail to he
broken in the end.
And if that occurs it means that
Germany will be partitioned with
out mercy and so depleted that she
can never again disturb the peace
OF Europe. Tt is verify a fight for
llie on both sides, with no com
promise possible.

Here's the way it works in war
as told by a special from London:
"Of 10000 British troops who
landed in France three weeks ago,
10000 are dead or wounded. The
French in the same time must have
lost 100000 As for the Germans,
they probably don't know them
selves. One German officer,
knocked senseless and made prison.
er, when revived grimly said they
had quit counting their dead. But
their loss is much greater than that
of the allies"

The suffrage ladies have black
listed nine United States senators
who are opposed to national legisla-
tion TO promote woman suffrage and
will make war upon these senators
and do all in their power to defeat
them when they seek reelection
Our own Senator Fletcher is on this
black list. and the press dispatch on
the subject says: I'VE regard. the
nine senators named as the bulwark
of the opposition. All of them re-
tired in 1915 except Senator
Lodge. ' These ladies are mistaken
Senator Fletcher has been nominat-
ed and virtually elected to succeed
himself in 1915 and they will have
to revise their list and leave him
off Why national legislation
should be sought to give the suf-
frage to women we can't understand
when it is purely a matter for the
States themselves to attend to- The
scheme was tried with the negro
and the consequences were disas-
trcus. Senator Fletcher has the al
most solid backing of his constitu-
ents in his purpose to keep congress
s'onal hands off the question and
leave it to the State.

MILLINERY FOR FALL
ADVANCE MODELS ARE ALREADY
BEING DISPLAYED.
Black Velvet and Satin, White Satin,
or Black and White in Combina-
ton Seem Destined to Be
Popular Materials.
BY MARY DEAN.

AS rule, the first showing of au-
tumn millinery is neither attractive
nor Illuminating. 1t does not tempt
one to buy nor does it indicate clear
ly what will be pre-eminently modish
later in the season, and 1t consists
chiefly of non-committal models, made
up to supply the demand for first hats
that will replace the battered and
faded summer straws without being
radical enough to have an important
place in the new seasons outfit.
However, the advance displays, both
of spring and fall fashions are much

Those Florida papers which have
shown a disposition to dsparage
tho State tax commission and de
preciate its value to the taXpayers
would do we'll to remember that
this same commission has succeeded
in increasing the valuation of tax
able property by more than 500
100000. Nothing Is more motor
iouS than the persistent and out
Tageous under-valuation of property
by many people when rendering il
for taxes. Much land given in at
-2.50 and 81 90 per acre for taxes
is held on the market for ten times
that value, and this evil has become
chronic over the whole State, there
by working a great hardship upon
such property owners as were con-
sclentious in rendering their prop
erty. The work of the tax com
mission in increasing values $6O,-
100000 shows that good start has
been made in repairing a weak and
inefficient system which works
grave injustice to those people who
render their property fairly for
taxes and are thus made to assume
the burden resulting from the
failure of Others to do so.

for Eustis to give critical examina-

road in that town about which we

ascertaining if it is as good as
claimed and can be recommended to
the various counties of the State

4 nat VIII uO We'll
to wait a few weeks before making
her choice, there have been attractive
models on view ever since the first
OF August, and the number Of these
models has increased day by day.
Black velvet, black satin, white sat
In, or black and white satin are the
materials most often used for the
fashioning Of the first fall millinery.
These models are, Of course, built
up on the lines of those made of straw
and are trimmed with flowers or
feathers.
Flowers and feathers also trim the
hats shown as advance fall models
The hats in the fall are prone to
smallness-comfortable, practical lit
tie shapes, not too pretentious-
as usual, goodly supply of small
hats Is in evidence; but from the
first, there have been shown, side by
side with the small shapes, an unusual
number Of large hats and medium
sized hats such as have been worn
during the late summer season. And
1t Is predicted that the larger hat will
not lose its prestige.
A majority Of the large models are
made of velvet, though very fire.
quently the velvet ends a few inches
from the edge OF the brim, and the
border Is Of maline or lace.
Some very stunning black and white
hats are also on the sailor lines. A
model built upon the sailor line was
of black and white satin. White satin
formed the crown and brim while the

Seattle Papers Serves in We
Re;C.iee Last Week

Mr.. J. Roy Owens, republican nomi-
nee for representative from Che.an

$4,000. Suit was brought in Seattle
by Kerr & McCord, attorneys for plaint-
ifs, the David Investment Company,
with whom Mr.. Owens was con-
nected at the time he resided in Sc
attle. 1t is alleged that Mr.. Owens
failed and refused to turn over 5000
which he collected and now has in his
possession, and in falling to do so he
is guilty of a breach OF faith. The
papers were received by firm OF We
natchee attorneys last week who placed
them in the hands OF Sheriff Kenyon

The doctor is a candidate for repre-
sentative from Chelan county in the
state Legislature on the progressive
ticket. He did not seek the place and
made no canvass for the nomination,
but since he has been nominated he
wants the voters to know just where he
stands. He has lived in Wenatchee
between eight and nine years and pays
taxes on about thirty thousand dollars.
Because he sold his residence a short
time ago, and his wife is off on visit,
those who oppose his election have
circulated the report that he intended
to leave the county. In an interview
with the writer the first of this week he
said: II have never told anyone that l
intended to leave Chelan county, nor
have I reached such conclusion.
Every bit of property l own is located
in this county. Many other Wenat-
chee people have sold their homes,
and some have given up housekeeping,
but they are not candidates. If / was
not candidate the selling of my home
would never have been suggested as
evidence that l intended to remove
from Chelan county. If elected, as l
earnestly believe l will be, promise
to serve the people of Chelan county
to the best OF my ability. That l am
on the dry side of the liquor question
is too well known to deny. Also, that

JOSEPH T. STEVENSON
DROPS OUT OF SIGHT
Collected $S7 Last thursday Evening,
Since Which Nothing Has Been
Heard of Him

Last Thursday evening, says c. E.
Stevenson, brother Of Joe, my brother
collected SS7 due him from the city
and ]. B. Adams, for whom he had
worked, since which my mother and
self have heard or seen nothing OF him.
Parties claim to have seen him in Leav-
enworth as late as Friday evening.
The family consisted Of a widowed
mother and three sons, beside Joe and
C. E. there is w. H. Stevenson, who
worked for the Tumwater Light &
Water Co. the past summer and is now
in Spokane. Joe Stevenson was Of a
quiet disposition and had no bad habits,
but would occasionally drink a little,
tho he was not habitual drinker. He
had had no trouble with any one, says
his brother, so far as he can learn, and
he and his mother are unable to account
for his disappearance. His mother is
considerably distressed because she
fears he has met with foul play. The
officers have made considerable inquiry
but so far have reached nc conclusion.
