the British authorities is apparent to a
marked degree today.

pursuit of the Austro-German forces in
Galicia continues. \ Russian official

positions of Cyzsenky and FouIsty to-
gether with all the Austrian artillery

Repairing Waste in War.
(SpringGeld Republican,


One reason why the Germans can
keep up so continuous an offensive
campaign is to be found in their ad-
mirable system for. repairing the
wastage of war, and thus keeping the
organizations at the front up to some
thing like their full strength. In our
civil war after a battle it was often
necessary to wait for months and re-
construct the army before pressing
matters further; military observers
from this country were amazed that
after Sedan the German. army was
ready to start for Paris on the same
day. This continuous action, upon
which Moltke s calculations depended
was made possible by. a careful de
velopment Of the depot system. Eact
division, each battalion had It's du-
plicate in reserve, Systematically pro
vjding fresh drafts. The normal vast
age for a year is 40 per cent for in.
fantry, 20 per cent for cavalry and ar
tillery, - per cent for the supply ser
vice: 50 DAYS after fne troops march
ed months draft was sent to th'
| front, and this system was kept up
with extra men to make good specia
losses in a great battle. Thus from
! first to last the machine was kept NJ
! to its full efficiency, and this is one o
/ the factors that made the FrancO-Prus
sian war so rapid But it must als'
make the continuous fighting yer,
! deadly when such an army is met OF
equal terms as in the present war.

BEST BAG IS OF GREEN LINEN
Value Lies in the Fact That 1t May
Be Worn With Gown of Almost
Any Shade.

Always in summer we have re-
vival Of those cool-looking handbags
that go SO we'll with summer frocks.
Sometimes the bags are white, some
times of natural linen and occasional
ly OF another color. The prettiest of
these other colors is green. A green
linen bag worked in selftones Is suit
able for carrying with gowns Of white,
green or other colors. Try to get
linen OF dull and not vivid green
and a shade that is neither very dark
nor very light. An outline stitch Of
some kind or a solid satin stitch is
best for the embroidered handbag.
With white linen, cyclcts can be used,
but If a green or other dark linen is
used, the contents show through tho
eyclcts and form rather an objection

A MONG the thoroughly practical fab
~ rics used for travelling coats wool
ratine has made a permanent place for
itself. 1t is becoming fabric, light in
weight and unmussable. A coat made
from it by Herbert, Paris, Is pictured
here and is an excellent model for
travelling or general utility.
All travelling coats should be ample
as to length and width and cut on
straight-hanging lines. The adjustment
at the shoulder and the management
Of the sleeves are items upon which
they depend for style. Now that capes
Of all kinds are fashionable number
Of coats have been produced by de-
signers with short cape attached.
They are becoming to the slender fig
ure. and in some cases amount to a
separate garment, as they are detach-
able. This makes them especially at
| tractive where the journey brings one
| into quick changes Of temperature.
