Flanders. Whether these should be accounted successes for the allies is doubtful. The British suffered enor- nous losses and at Neuve Chapelle bungled affairs to the extent of she'll ing their own men who had taken Ger man trenches. In other cases they left gallant little parties lodged in enemy's trenches without supports to be annihilated.
 The next development was the un- expected use of poisonous gas fumes by the Germans in attacks just north of Ypres. With this novel weapon they succeeded in taking several small villages and more than compensating for the British gains south of Ypres. The losses of the French, Canadians and British were severe, but they suc- ceeded in stemming the German on slaught effectively a few miles back from their former position.
 Begin Series of Attacks.
 The German line makes salient at Soissons, though not such a pro- ! nounced one as at St Mihiel The French now began series of at tacks on the upper side of this salient, to the north of Arras Expending hun dreds of thousands of shells, they time and again blasted away the barbed wire entanglements and concrete trenches, held by Crown Prince Rup- precht of Bavaria's men, and then charged across the desolate ground for slight gains.
 The fighting centered about the su- gar refinery of Souchez and the great German work called the Labyrinth Fighting went on in cellars and tun- nels below the earth and the casual ties were heavy. The French bent the German line and captured the .Laby- rinth, but whether the gains justified their sacrifice in human life Is ques- tionable.
 In July, Crown Prince Frederick Williams army attacked in the AT. gonne forest, west of Verdun, and succeeded in gaining several hundred yards of shattered woodland and cap. turing several thousand Frenchmen
 There were rumors that the Ger mans were re-enforcing for another great drive toward Calais or Paris, but the Teutonic campaign in the West continued to wait upon the crushing of the much weaker enemy in Poland.

plain white taffeta It consists of loops that extend far beyond the crown on which the bow is perched; they reach to the edge of the brim at the right side A long jet pin is thrust in the bow apparently fixing it to the crown.
 The hat at the center is in solid white and the shape is shown in sev- eral materials. as kid satin or straw braid. Its trimming is a band of heavy black and white striped ribbon with the simplest of bows at the front eentered with a pearl buckle.
 Another all-white shape is trimmed with white ribbon having a wide satin border. The simple tied bow at the front Is mounted on the crown, which is of the sloping variety.
 Long stems, single fiattened daisy in dark, rich dahlia shades, and one or two glossy leaves in dark green are laid about the brim for trimming.

Never have our American mills turned out so many novel and attrac tive cotton materials as they are mak- ing now. The demand for the best and handsomest cotton fabrics has been met at home, and the mills are establishing a prestige which they ex- pect to maintain, even when Europe again enters the market with her products. American-made silks have formed the bulk of the silks used here. and there is no good reason why we should not produce the best of cottons ill the finest of weayes.
 A pretty dress for little girl from two to six years old, is shown in the picture. It is made of a strong cotton madras, having a white ground and a narrow blue stripe, which comes in many color combinations. she fabric is so desirable and stands tubbing so well that it is worth while to put good work in the dresses made of it. It is trimmed with plain blue ehambray or gingham or other strong cotton, and with blue and white embroidery.
 The dress is in the long-waisted ef- feet with two narrow ruff1es set on to the body. The first ruffie is piped with the plain blue. and the second ruffle is set on to 1t. A fiat plait with the stripes running crosswise extends down the front and back to the belt

FIGHTING IN SCORE OF
 OTHER REGIONS

In score of regions there has been fighting which would have held worldwide attention were it not for the mighty battle lines in France and Poland
 Seryia's own war was a greater trial to her than either of the two preced- ing Balkan struggles. Assisted by Montenegro. the little Slavic nation twice threw the hosts of Franz Josef beyond her borders and inflicted losses of about 330000 men, but she suffered severely herself.
 The Austrians invaded Serbia in great force about August 15 and pene- trated to the Jadar river, where a great f1ve-day battle ended in the rout of the Teutons.
 The Austrians returned soon in stronger force than ever. They reached Valjevo, where on November r the Serbians met defeat.
 With their supply of artillery ann intuition exhausted, the Serbians now had to retreat. The Austrians. be- lieving them crushed. withdrew six army corps for re-enforcements against the victorious Russians in Ga licia
 Shells and English tars with naval guns reached the Serbians, and on December they turned on the Aus trians and cut them to pieces.
 The entry of Turkey into the war was marked by brave, but foolhardy attempt to invade Egypt Great Brit aims Indian and colonial troops threw the invaders back with heavy losses.
 British and Japanese troops invest ed the fortified German port of Tsing- tau, China, and after siege of few weeks the defenders gave up the hope less struggle
 A section of the Boer population of South Africa revolted The revolt was put down by a Boer, Premier Botha. He then invaded German Southwest Africa, and after a long campaign in the waterless deserts captured the greatly outnumbered Germans July 8.

was fought the desperate first baUtle enormous losses in attempts to break through the line in Flanders and reach Calais. They succeeded in pushing back the allies only a little and the invasion of Silesia by the Gossaeks finally induced them to desist and send re-enforcements to Russia.
 The Germans in September had per formed the feat of pushing a salient into the French line south of Verdun, which terminated on the west bank of the Mouse river at St. Mihiel; while the French had taken the offensive with some success in Champagne at about the same time.
 For the most part throughout the winter the fighting consisted of regu- lar siege warfare, with heavy artillery combats and mine and counter-mine.
 The flooding of the River Aisne from winter snows gave the Germans chance to entrap the French troops on the north side of that river in the vicinity of Seissens for considerable distance and kill or capture most of them tJanuary 14).
 Take Offensive in Spring.
 With the spring, the French and English attempted to take the offensive at several points. Always preparing the way with tens or hundreds of thou shands of shells. they tried joint after joint of the German armor.
 In the Vosges the dominating height of Hartmannsweilerkopf was taken and retaken several times in sanguin- ary charges and finally remained in the hands of the French.
 The salient of St. Mihiel was also subjected to tremendous French pres sure on both legs" The French sue eeeded in gaining little ground, but the Germans, despite the apparent weakness of the sharp wedge they had driven into the French line, could not be dislodged and later succeeded in re- gaining some of the territory they had lost

French were obliged to fall back rap- idly to the line of the River Marne.
 On the left the French had with arawn to below Paris and the western most German army, under Von Kluck, followed
 The garrison of Paris was put in thousands of motor cars and hurled on yon Kluck's flank. The latter was not taken entirely unawares and met the attack strongly, but at the same time the army of General Foch attacked the German army on Won Kluck's left and drove it back.
 Driven Back From Paris.
 The Germans had begun the battle with five armies in line The with drawal of the two farthest west now caused the retreat of the third, fourth and fifth in that order, each in turn finding its flank exposed by the with drawal of the troops on it's right. At the same time the movement on the east end of the German line was ac- celerated by a strong attack from the French fortified zone of Verdun.
 The German retreat was as orderly as that of the French and English had been. The invaders took up an ad- mirable defensive position. It ran just north of the Aisne river, on a series of bluffs, then just north of Chalons and through the wooded, rough regions of the Argonne and the Woeyre, joining hands here with the troops besieging Verdun The allies have tried this line in vain ever since
 Both combatants now tried to turn the west flank. Enormous bodies of cavalry. On the part of the French Flanders. On the part of the French there was largely the desire to link up with the Belgians, now being attacked in Antwerp. The mighty siege guns of the Germans made short work of the Belgian seaport, however, and it fell on October g. The remnants of the Belgian army retreated along the sea coast and the Germans in a final rush reached Ostend October 15)
 Line Extended to the Sea.
 The battle line of the Aisne was now extended to the sea, the Germans hold ing the important French city of Lille, while the allies kept Ypres in Belgium and, partly by flooding the lowlands, held the position of the Yser river and canal.

Just now. when it is late for summer and too early for autumn millinery, the buying of hat is interesting-and distraeting. But good millinery max i'm may settle ones mind, and that is, when in doubt, choose a sailor With this shape it is impossible to go wrong. for they are made and trimmed in such great variety that everyone may be suited.
 There is a general widening of brims in the latest sailors and much efficient millinery work in finishing them. Crowns are moderate in size or small. It is to the management of trimming that one must look for origi- nality.
 Corbeau or dark navy blue with white is a favorite color con bination and as smart and effective as the ev- anywhere popular black and white. For August, solid white, black and white and dark blue and white may be depended upon as authentic good style These color combinations ap- pear in the body of the hat or are added to all-white shapes in their trimming
 Three sailors for the late summer are shown in the group pictured. At the left wide-brimmed hat of white satin has a white brim and dark blue crown. The brim is bordered with a wide fiange of the dark blue satin. A big, spreading bow of ribbon is made of dark blue moire laid over a

FIRST YEAR OF WAR
 IN THE WEST

The first month and a half of the western campaign was made up of startling, swift moves. On September 12, after the defeat on the Marne, the Germans took up defensive positions along the Aisne river The ten and half months since then have seen long deadlock.
 The battle line of the Aisne and the Disc quickly extended northeast to the Sea. Fighting has been continuous, with tremendous losses. The general situation has remained unchanged, gains of a few miles for one side at one point offset by minor gains for the enemy in other sectors.
 At the beginning of August the kaiser took possession of the little state of Luxemburg and demanded passage through Belgium to the Fran co-Belgian frontier.
 Permission to pass denied. Von Einem attacked Liege August A, while other German armies passed around the city and swept over the level Belgian roads at a terrific rate 11e little be1glan army y1e1ded BfuS- sels and fell back to Antwerp and Ghent
 First Big E. saeement.
 Not until the Germans had almost reached the French border did the first important engagement take place This is generally known as the battle of Mons-Charleroi (about August 20 2S), but at the same time there was severe fighting along the whole line through Thionville in Lorraine and along the Vosges in upper Alsace, which the French had invaded with temporary success.
 This battle resulted in defeat for the French and English.
 While obtaining some successes in counter-attaeks on the advancing Ger mans at Peronne and at Guise. the

FIGHTING OK THE SEA

At the end of the first year of war not a German fighting craft, except submarines, is known to be at large outside the Baltic sea. The Austrian warships are confined to the up per Adriatic and the Turkish fleet to the Sea of Marmora and adjacent straits The mer- chant marine of the central European powers has disap- peared utterly from the ocean highways. Sixty million dol lars worth of German shipping lies idle in the docks of New York, while several times as much is bottled up elsewhere. At the same time the German submarines have inflicted enor- nous losses of allied shipping.
 While both sides have prob ably concealed many losses, the following is a fairly accu- date summary of the number of craft which have been de- stroyed;
