SIDELIGHTS ON
THE GREAT WAR

London, Dec. 28.-Paris women are
changing their gait
Says correspondent from the
French capital:
"In nothing have the women of Paris
whose silhouette is copied all over the
world, changed so much as in her
walk. A short time ago she wriggled
her way along and her anatomy ap-
peared to be of the strangest. Today
she is gradually slipping back into her
old habit of tripping, and it suits her
much better. Her figure Is taking on
it's old familiar lines, and the flat chest
is likely to disappear with the IN
graceful wriggle.
when the old writer's spoke of a
beautiful daughter of France the i'm.
agination pictured something very diff
ferent from the quaint little people
who have grimaced the boulevards
of late years, and it is quite probable
that with the return of peace we shall
see return of the old type French
woman in all classes. And the revival
will benefit not only France but the
world in general, for what the French
woman does today the women of all
the civilized world do tomorrow"
Newport, Wales, Dec. 28.-A sub
scription is circulated here to erect on
the grounds of the towns feudal castle
a monument to the French cat which
saved the life of Lieutenant Lloyd Of
the Grenadier Guards.
The cat did nothing purposely
heroic But by curling around the
neck of the officer during the three
days he lay wounded and unattended
near the French frontier, the cat acted
as fur boa and saved him from death
by cold.
Lieutenant Lloyd is heir to Sir Mar
teise Lloyd, the chief commoner Of
Wales and the last of the Norman
lords of the marshes. His residence
is Newport castle, where it is proposed
to build the cats memorial.

CITY DETECTIVES ARE VICTIMS OF
 CLEVER THIEVES Several Detectives Offer Re wards for Property Stolen From Their
 Lockers

Aggregate rewards to the amount or ss0 were offered last night at police head quarters for the arrest and conviction of the thief or thieves that went through the lockers of detectives Monday night and secured shoes, suits. raincoats and even eggs. The private office of Ser geant sydney H. Darnell was also en- tered and a pair of se shoes stolen.
 The rewards as posted on the police file last night follows:
 Detective Thomas G. Williams offers s5 reward for information to convict the party who stole part of a setting of eggs which were left in the office for him.
 Detective James R. Daly offers 5 re- ward for the arrest and conviction of the crook that stole his SIS raincoat and a new pair of s5 shoes from his locker.
 Detective Robert e. Williams offers 8 reward for the arrest and conviction of the person who appropriated his black suit from the detectives private consult tation room.
 Detective H. B. Brown offers B re- ward for information regarding who stole his new check suit which the man from the dry cleaners left at the office Monday afternoon.
 Sergeant Sydney H. ,Darnell offers 80 reward for the recovery of a new pair of tan 8 shoes stolen from his private office Monday night.
 Mounted Police Scout George Harvill offers s5 reward for the arrest and con- viction of the scoundrel who stole a tail lamp and tools from his automobile on Monday night. Officer Harvill is the proud possessor of Ford runabout and some marauder left only the skeleton of the machine after a nocturnal visit during yesterday morning at the police garage
 These rewards are offered by the de- tectives and police officers in all seri- ousness. They feel very much aggrieved that they should be the victims of a shrewd and bold robber and the loud howls of rage that were heard last night emanating from police headquarters came from the detectives conferring together on their losses.
 Detective Tom Williams was especially angry at the loss of his eggs and was the first to offer a reward. His example was followed by Sergeant Darnel and the other officers by the altruistic be- lief that at police headquarters at least the activities of thieves should be curbed
 It is understood that if more of the detectives lockers are broken into q special guard will be engaged to pro- tect the property of the sleuths.
