Dead Wounded and Missing Total
About 100000
FRENCH ARE AGAIN OPERATING IN ALSACE
Great Britain Will Increase Her Army to Total of
100000 Russians Advance Against Bres
au Preliminary to Movement Upon Berlin

Paris. The allied armies continue
to have the advantage, according to
French official reports, in what can
only be the preliminarles of a great
battle extending from Meaux, north
east of Paris. to the fortress OF Yer
dun, about 200 miles further east.
says a dispatch from London review
ing the days developments The
Germans. who have brought UP rein
forcements. are striking attheallies'
left and center between Montmiral
and Vitryle-Francois, a font of from
so to so miles, but each time thoy
have been driven back.
This is not surprising to military
men, as the Germans have been COM
PEELED to advance through the
swamps of the Petit NORM and then
over bare uplands to the extremely
strong French position on the right.
II is their only chance, however, and
it is expected they will strike and
strike again They are bringing thC..
reinforcements down from Chalons
On the roads leading TO Fere Chan
peneise, Sommesous and Sempuis in
the face of the French artillery pos
ed on the nights, which give it
great advantage.
Gen Pau, who commands the cen
of the French army in this district,
reported to be advancing north o.
Sezanne toward the plateaus which
command the center of the whole bat
tleheld. On his left the British force
has driven the Germans across the
and NORM and Petit NORM rivers.
toward the Marine itself, while on the
extreme left the French 9th army
corps, advancing from Paris along
the Ourcq river, have had further sue
cesses and are threatening Gen
Kluck's communications.
In the east, the Germans SO far
have failed in their attempts to break
across the rivers and through tho
hills of Argonne between vitry le
Francois and Verdun on the right
wing of the allies.
Again. according to the French re-
ports there has been no action
against the Grand Couronne OF Nancy
and in the vosges and Alsace the sit
uation remains unchanged.
All this favorable news has cheer
cd the allies. but military critics
warn the public that the battle has
not yet been won. and there Hrobab
~ will be a week or more of fighting
before decisive result is attained
either way.

Today's Style In Names.

What are the names that the girls
of today are bearing? Perhaps good
reply to that question would be to give
list Of the Christian names Of the
girls that make up the crews in we'll
known college. Here they are. exactly
as published few days ago:
Adelaide. Mary. Priscilla. Dorothy.
Natalie. Lucie, Eleanor, Mary, Ethel.
Linda. Virginia, Henrietta. Valera.
Bertha, Anna, Rachel. Thelma, Mil
dred, Hildegarde. Marie. Garcia. Hell
en-. Carolina. Avondelle, Carolyn. Mil
dred, Elma.
Out Of the list OF twenty seven Mary
occurs but twice. though another time
It appears masquerading as Marie
There are several names never heard
Of before, and the mothers of those
girls surely did not lack courage. The
Carrie that was changed to Caroline
has now become Carolyn and Carolina
The foreign element in our country
is shown by such names as Linda.
Thelma and Elma. There is certainly
a variety In this up to date list. Per
haps the mothers are becoming mill
tant and standing up for their rights
In the naming of their girl babies.
