r ONDON, Aug. 13.-Field Marshal
l. Won Hindenburg. upon whom the
most difficult tasks are imposed, has
taken personal command of the Ger
man army attacking Loyno, and, ac-
cording to the German official report
issued tonight, has made further
progress in the fighting against the
Russians in that region.
The selection of Germany's national
hero for the duty of capturing the
fortress of Kovno, which stands be-
tween the Germans and. wilma and
the Warsaw Petrograd railway, is an
indication Of the importance which
the German general staff attaches to
this operation.
The news that the civilians had
commenced to evacuate Kovno as well
as wilma led to the belief i'm many
quarters that the Russians either had
decided to give them up or had no
hope Of holding these points Now
however. they are fighting hard to
retain both cities, and i'm. the latest
official report from Petrograd, it is
claimed that the Russians have re-
pulsed the German attacks, except at
one point where a desperate artillery
engagement is in progress,

THE WEATHER

Mississippi-Fair tonight and Wed
nesday; warmer tonight west portion;
warmer Wednesday; light frost to-
nioht extreme southeast portion.
Gilpin observer., 1915-07-01

Just to be beautiful is the aim of
these lacy and flowery head cover
ings in which women delight to honor
midsummer days and all that they
bring of pleasure. All sorts of fabrics,
airy or gay, engage the fancy of de-
signers of millinery for the midsum-
mer season. Matter-of-fact utility need
not restrain the artistic instinct for
the beautiful in composition, and it Is
allowed free play in color. Therefore
we have such fascinating hats as those
pictured here.
Increasing width of brim is the rule
for the picturesque things that easily
find favor with women this season, but
the first hat pictured is something of
an exception to this. 1t Is as much
bonnet as hat and is one of the many
inspirations drawn from the poke bon
net of long ago. The brim is of fine
ieghorn. wired on the underside, near
the edge, with silk-covered wire match
ing the straw in color 1t is set on to
crown of heavy, handmade lace, in
a Battenberg pattern, in which a fancy
braid forms the flower motifs. The
crown is lined with malines in three
thicknesses.
A sash of blue velvet RIBBON is fold
ed about the crown and finished with
bow and long ends at the back. All
this makes lovely background for
the wreath of blackberries, set in
small rose foliage. in which the ber-
ries are shown in gradations of color
as they look when ripening on the
bush. few pink roses like those
that pay tribute to midsummer in old
wreath.
A wide -brimmed hat of open-meshed
shadow lace is second in the group. 1t
Is shirred over a wire frame and edged
