LOSE ON HOLIDAY GOODS
American Can't Secure Christmas Stock Bought in Germany

Berlin, Aug. 29.-hmerican business men in Germany take a gloomy view of the fate of the great quantities of goods ordered in Germany for the A merican Christmas trade. They say the loss of these goods will amount to millions.
 Orders totaling about $5O,OOO,OO0 for toys, Bohemian glassware, bronzes Christmas cards and optical special ties had been placed, mostly last aut- umn, for summer delivery. The art icles are all of a seasonal value and become virtually valuelcss unless de- livered immediately.

TO WATT IN WASHINGTON
Wilson Will not Leave Until German
 Situation is cleared.

Washington, Aug. 29.-President Wilson decided today to remain in Washington until the situation be- tween the United States and Germany is cleared up. Officials have been urg- ing him to go to Cornish, N. H., for a rest.
 The president, it is said, has been led by the statements of Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, and reports received from American Ambassador Gerard at Berlin, to hope that solution for the submarine con- troversy with Germany will be found. He is waiting however, for the German governments formal disavowal of the attack on the Arabic and assurances that the lives of American travelling on unarmed merchantmen will not be endangered again.

Fall Fashions Influenced by the War.

In the September Woman's Home Companion, which is called a Fash ion Forecast Number" Grace Marga- ret Gould, the fashion editor, gives the news of the fall fashions. Follow. ing is brief extract from her report.
 "The masquerade is over! And for one, am thankful. Women are now going to dress like real women, and no longer need initiate a bag, a box, a walking stick or toadstool Instead of cultivating grotesque lines We may make the most of the lines we have. The change is from queer to quiet, and from freak to form.
 "How do I know, you ask? Simply by applying expert advice and expert ence, just as one peers through a big telescope in the hope of seeing other celestial bodies invisible to the naked eye.
 Much of this change-many of the new ideas in dress-have been in fuenced by the war It could not be otherwise. Paris and Fashion always go hand in hand It has saddened the former and sobered the latter"

f|ne of Irresist- able Factors ot
 Human Progress
Progress has Been Marked from Year to Year by
 Annual Convention of the American Road Builders Association a n d Ameri- can Highway Association

New York, August 3O;-Definite ad- ..,on,ont has been made annually in ,ood construction, maintenance and administration since New Jersey en- ,.+od the first modern State Aid Law ;n 1So1 For the first dozen years tho nrogress was slow; but during the mast years the movement has been going forward at a constantly in- creasing pace, and with a momentum which gathers strength and force as # proceeds, until it now forms one of the irresistible factors of human progress,
 This progress has been marked from from year to year by the annual con ventions of the American Road Build ers' Association and the American Highway Association. Not only in the mileage of roads improved has the advancement been made. Better types of roads and streets have been developed; better methods of construc- ton: the more intelligent employment of materials; more economical admin istration: more advantageous system of financing, all have contributed to the widening of the subject of high wayimprovement until 1915 finds greater accomplishment than any pre- vious year since the movement began. Practically every state in the Union and every province and country in all America is pushing the construction of highways to the limit of means a. vailable. While every commonwealth has its own methods of procedure, the objects Soughts are in evecy case the same. The lowering of the cost of marketing products and securing supplies; the opening of channels of traffic to permit the development of new territory; and the enhancement of the values of properity; better social conditions; all go to make up the sum of advantages which follow the improyment of the highways.
 Hence the Pan-American Road Con- gress, which will assemble at Oak land California, September 13-17. large number of delegates has al- ready been appointed, so that a full attendance is assured. Experts will

present and discuss the latest and most approved methods; and those who are seekers for information will be able to find it, on any phase of the highway subject in which he is most interested.
 The union of the two great ass cciation previously named was for the purpose of organizing the Pan-Amer- ican Road Congress. The bringing into one assemblage of the combined memberships of these two associations together with delegates and experts from other American countries must enable any road builder, be he engin- ger, contractor official or layman. to recieve vast benefit by attending the Congress.
 Several cities on or near the Route of the Special Pan-American Road Congress train, but which are not scheduled for sightseeing stops, have sent urrent invitations and requests to be included, and promising the most cordial welcome. At most of the points where stops are to be made, committees of leading citizens are be- ing organized to prepare and give di- rection to the proper entertainment of the visitors. As the train will leave Chicago September and arrive at Oakland September F, the time given for visiting interesting points along the route will give much oppor- tunity for recreation and entertain. ment.
