The blouse that gives vestee effect
Is a favorite one and this model shows the
vestee portions slightly full SO that they
are especially adapted to net and other
dainty materials of summer weather, and
it includes also sleeves that are sewed to
it at the dropping shoulder line. In the
illustration, it is made of one Of the en-
broidered silk crepes with collar and
cuffs of plain material and vestee Of net,
but the model could be used quite as sue
cessfully for an entire net blouse or for
chiffsn and for the much simpler cotton
fabrics, for there is no feature of the season
more remarkable than the use of the same
design for the dressy blouse of fine ma
terial and for the useful one Of palmer
fabric. Cotton voile is always pretty
both for dresses and for separate blouses
and this one could be made of that ma
terial with collar and cuffs of bright
colored silk, as orange or cerise, to be ex-
ceedingly smart, the vest portions being of
marquisette or cotton net.

months. She recently attended a
party to which l was not invited. Did

her. (There were no kissing games.)
Please advise what action to take, and
what is your opinion of her.
STEADY READER.
There is no excuse for her Stiffness
in letting two strange men kiss her.
In that she did wrong.
But she did no wrong in accepting
the invitation to the party. She is not
engaged to you. and it would be ex-
tremely foolish in her to refuse invita-
tions because you are not among the

eermans Warn Civilians.

Berlin, via London.-A semi-oficial
statement published here accuses Bel
gian civilians in the vicinity Of Liege
Of having participated in the fighting
against the Germans. 1t says that
doctors attending the wounded were
fred on from ambuscades and that
the population On the French frontier,
opposite Metz, fired from an ambuscade
upon German patrols.
The statement continues:
Possibly these facts are due to the
mixture Of nationalities in the indus
trial districts, but it is also possible
that France and Belgium are prepar-
ing to engage in a franc-tireur war
against our troops. If this is proven
by further incidents our adversaries
themselves will be responsible if war
with inexorable strength is extended
to the guilty population. The German
troops are accustomed to fight only
against the armed power of hostile
state and cannot be blamed if, in
Belf-defense, they should adopt excep-
eonal measures"

ENORMOUS Losses Reported.

London-Reports from the Belgian
Minister Of War stating that there
had been enormous losses during the
fighting between the French and Ger
mans in Lower Alsace were received
here. They stated that the Germans
had lost 10000 killed and wounded and
the French $4,000, but it was later
explained that these reports were based
on unofficial advices received at the
Belgian Ministry of War. The descrep-
ancy between the early Belgian and
the German reports on the situation at
Liege is believed by military men
here to be accounted for by the re-
treat Of the Belgian troops which had
held the routes between the forts and
that the town Of Liege has been taken
by the Germans, who continued to I'D
vance on line between Huy and
Louvaip, leaving part Of their army
to besifge the Liege forts.
Indirectly Reaffirmed.
The Berlin semi-oficial news agency
in the meantime indirectly reafirms
the capture Of Liege by the Germans.
It refers to King Albert's order Of the
day congratuIating the defenders Of
the city, and says:
"This order of the day has evidently
been superseded by the capture Of
Liege by the Germans"
The object of the German advance is
believed to be Namur on their left
flank and Louvaine on their right
flank If this opinion is correct mill
tary men believe a great battle is i'm
minent between the German and Bel
gian armies, the latter probably being
reinforced by British and French al
lies.
Clearing Luxembourg OF Germans.
"The portion of Belgian Luxembourg
invaded by the Germans is being
cleared of them by the advancing
French troops, who are marching for
ward with the greatest speed and en-
ergy, getting assistance from a divi-
sion of Belgian cavalry.
MANY trains carried additional
French troops during the night to the
front by way Of Brussels"
Telegraphing from Brussels, the cor
respondent of the Daily Telegraph
says:
"The Belgians have blown up the
old disused fortress at Liege to pre-
vent the Germans availing themselves
Of its use.
'It is reported here that many
Bavarians are deserting or refusing to
Join their colors, the idea Of fighting
the peaeeable Belgians, whose Queen
is beloved Bavarian Princess, being

A Brussels dispatch to the Exchange
Telegraph Company says that Prince
George of Prussia, a nephew of EN-
peror William, is among the German
prisoners who have arrived at Bruges.

Brussels (via London) The Ger
mans before Liege requested 24-hour
armistice, according to an announce
ment made by the Belgian Ministry
of War.
At the ministry it was stated that
the Germans admitted their casualties
numbered $4,000.
It is assumed that Germans asked
for an armistice in order to pick up
their dead and wounded.
1t is reported the French Army has
entered Belgium and is well advanced.
People Fleeing From Liege.
Many of the people of Liege have
made their way out Of the city, fear
ing an epidemic more than the bonn
bardment.
German prisoners, whom a CORE
spondent questioned, acknowledged
freely the courage and tenacity of the
Belgian troops who are now opposing
the German advance. The prisoners
were treated with consideration, and
on the way to Brussels were supplied
at the stations with beer and bread.

The Belgian troops appeared to be
in the best of spirits. They declared
that if there had not been ten Ger
mans to one Belgian not one German
would have gotten through their lines.
Though in good spirits, the Belgians
were partly exhausted, having fought
for so hours without rest.
Moved Down BY Hundreds.

witnesses of the fighting, say they saw

ments by the gun and rife fire of the
Belgians, but that they were replaced
by others who crawled forward like
weasels. In certain places in the
fighting zone the ground was covered
with dead, the burial of which, it was
said, would take at least a week.
LIE Peuple says the bombardment Of
Liege had caused six or seven fires in
the city. The heaviest firing occurred
Wednesday afternoon. German Off
GERS then came to the city with a white
flag and demanded the surrender of
the place. They received negative
reply and the bombardment was re-
sumed at o'clock.
Martial law has been proclaimed
throughout Belgium.
King Issues Proclamation.
Before departing for the front King
Albert addressed a proclamation to the
Belgian Army saying:
without the least provocation on
our part our neighbor, proud of its
force, has torn up treaties bearing its
signature and has broken in upon the
territory Of our fathers because we re-
fused to forfeit our honor.
"An attack. has been made upon US
and the world marvels at our loyal
attitude
'Be comforted by our independence.
"Our menaced nation shudders and
it's children have bounded to the
frontier.
Brave soldiers, salute you in the
name of Belgium. You will triumph
because your strength has been put to
the service of the right.
"Glory to you, soldiers and defend
ers of the liberty Of our menaced
fatherland."

ALL FOOD UP
TO WAR PRICES
lump Causes Congressman to
Propose Inquiry.
FOUR RESOLUTIONS IN HOUSE
Suggested That United States Fol-
low Great 5ritain's Example
and Take Charge OF
Markets.

Washington, D. C.-Governmental
warfare on unjustifable advances in
food products in American cities,
which are being made in the face Of
record-breaking crops and for which
the European war is offered as an ex-
cuse, is rapidly taking shape in Con-
gress, and it is not unlikely that a
thorough investigation of marketing
systems and food price conditions will
be made.
Four resolutions were introduced in
the House calling for inquiries into the
causes and reasons of the "skyrocket-
ing" of food prices since the war be-
gan. These resolutions were referred
to the Rules Committee and deter
mined effort will be made to get action
upon them should the cost of living
keep going skyward.
What Resolutions Provide:
Representative Donahoe, Democrats
asks for the appointment of a COM
mission of five to make the inquiry.
His resolution directs that steps be
taken to ascertain whether any COM
bination, understanding or agreement
exists between sellers, dealers or pack
ers of foodstuffs with the view of ad-
vancing the price to consumers.
Representative Farr, Republican, re-
quests the House to direct the Secre-
tary of Agriculture and his experts to
make the investigation.
Representative Moore, Republican,
demands an investigation by the Sec
retary of Commerce to ascertain the
reasons for the increase in the price
of foodstuffs, and instructs him to take
steps to correct the abuses and protect
the consumers from such advances.
Representative Kelly, Progressive,
calls upon the Secretary of Commerce
ito furnish the House with informa-
ton whether or not prices on articles
of food necessary for the health and
well-being Of the American people
have been arbitrarily advanced in
home markets on the pretext that the
high prices of such articles are the
result of the European war;" and to
advise the House whether the manip-
ulation of values by spectators on
the Chicago Board of Trade and else
where is resulting in unjust and un-
warranted advance in the price of
foodstuffs in spite of such record
breaking crops"
Bureau Of Markets Takes Hand.
The Bureau of Markets of the De
partment OF Agriculture is already
looking into the matter of rising food
prices. Director Charles ]. Brand
says the war demand will naturally in
crease the price of meats, wheat and
-four, but there is no reason why prices
for vegetables-food products which
are not exported-should be advanced
unless there be a local shortage.
Representatives Moore and Farr lay
the advance in food prices at the door
of the spectators. Mr.. Moore pointed
out that Congress is now considering
legislation which relates to price
fixing. He also points to the Anti
Trust laws on the statute books, and
says that if these can be invoked to
check the advances in food prices the
Department of Justice should at once
get busy.
