MILDLY frocks are always desirable for
the school girls and this season they seem
to be in exceptional demand. This one is
made with an applied yoke and with the
dropped sleeves that are becoming and at
the same time, simplify labor. The skirt
is cut in five pieces and the front and back
portions are plated, while the sides are
plain and are joined to the yoke. In the
illustration, the material is blue serge,
with collar and cuffs of taffeta, but white
serge is liked for the more dressy effect
and great many mothers will make the
blouse of one material and the skirt of
another, and just now, there is a fancy
for using crepe de chine for blouses to
wear with serge or whatever material may
be preferred. The pattern gives both the
seams and the basting line.
For the IL year size will be needed,
6 yds. of material II in. wide, S yds.
SO, 3% yds. "A, with Il yd. 27 in. wide
for the collar and cuffs and yds. of braid.
The pattern No. 8sI7 is cut in sizes
from to IA years. 1t will be mailed to
any address by the Fashion Department
of this paper. on receipt of ten cents.

URGES ACTION TO
RESTORE ORDER
CONSULAR OFFICERS REPORT
MOST SERIOUS CONDITION
IN MEXICO.
Threatened Famine and Inability Of
Leaders to Restore Peace Given
as Reasons Why United States
Should Intervene.

Washington. Urgent suggestions
chat the United States wait no longer
than another month before taking
some decisive action to restore law
and order in Mexico, have been for
warded to the state department by
several consular officers in the north
ern part of the republic.
All these reports, it was learned
Thursday, have been forwarded to
President Wilson at Cornish, N. H.,
after being carefully studied by state
department officials
Threatened famine and inability of
the contending military factions to re-
store peace and establish a govern
ment that could be recognized by the
United States, are dwelt upon by the
consular officers. Conditions more
serious than even troubled Mexico
has seen before are predicted unless
the United States lends hand quick
ly. Recognition of some element
which may set up a strong govern
ment with the moral support OF the
United States Is the solution usually
urged
Meager dispatches that reached the
state department Thursday from Vera
Cruz said Carranza's army, estimated
at $4,000 men, had pressed its fight
for possession of Mexico City within
ten miles of the capital. Apparently
the investing forces had advanced
eleven miles against the zapata de-
tenders in two days, practically reach
ing the city's suburbs.
Reports of food shortage continued
to reach the state department and the
Red Cross from various parts of Mex
leo. One dispatch from northeastern
Mexico stated that with the railway
cut again, supplies in that section
would last only few days

GERMAN DRIVE ON
WEST POSTPONED
CHECK IMPOSED ON ARcHpuKE
JOSEPH FERDINAND'S ARMY
CAUSE OF DELAY.
Neither Side Has Attempted Anything
Of Decisive Nature, and II 10
Believed It May be Weeks
Before They Do.

London.-The check which the Rus
slams have imposed on Archduke 10
seph Ferdinand's army in southern Po-
land, and the additional strain which
this has placed on the German gen
eral Won Mackenzen's army to the
right, has postponed, it is believed in
military circles here, the threatened
German offensive in the west, and
there is now a possibility that the al.
lies will be the first to take the Of
fensive.
In support of this 1t is pointed out
that the attacks by the German crown
princes army in the Woevre, which
the German press announced was the
commencement Of general move for
ward, have ceased, and what fighting
is going on along the western front
consists Of artillery engagements, a
few isolated attacks, and coNnter-at-
tacks by infantry, which make little
or no difference in the positions of the
opposing forces.
The British, according to the French
report, have repulsed a German at
tack. The German reports, however,
allude to this as British attack, and
Berlin says it was repulsed with con,
siderable loss. In fact, the French
and German reports are generally con
Trajectory in respect to what fighting
has taken place, but from the trend
of them 1t is evident that neither side
has attempted anything of decisive
nature, and it is believed here that II
may be weeks yet before they do.
So far as the Germans are con
cerned, military observers assert they
are bound to carry out their offensive
against the Russians until there is
some decisive engagement, such as the
capture of the Lublin-C holm railway
which, it is asserted, would have beer
in their hands before now if the Aus
TRANS advancing toward the city had
not been driven back.
Italian forces operating in the Ty-
rol are not seriously menacing Ro-
vereto by their continued advance in
the mountain passes from the east,
but, according to General Cadorna's
report, are now advancing rapidly on
Riva from the west. Thus the opera
tions in the Trentina district are be-
ing carried forward on both sides OF
Lake Garda, with Triest as the focal
point of the advance
Official reports from the Tyrol
front state that engagements in the
Chiese valley and at Mount Piano
have resulted h favor of the Italian
Alpine troops, while the heavy artil
lery has brought under range of its
fire the Notifications erected by the
Austrians on Ledro lake.

EDISON CALLED TO
AID OF THE NAVY
ACCEPTS INVITATION TO HEAD
AN ADVISORY BOARD OF CIV
H ILlAN INVENTORS.
Plan is TO Utilize incentive Genius OF
Americans to Meet Conditions of
Warfare Shown in Conflict Rag
ing in Europe.

West Orange, N. Thomas A. Ed.
ason has accepted an invitation from
Secretary Daniels to head an advis-
CRY board of civilian inventors for a
bureau of invention and development
to be created in the navy department
His acceptance will go forward at
once to Washington, where the new
plans await word from the man who
can turn dreams into realities"
Mr. Daniels idea of utilizing the
inventive genius OF Americans in and
out of the military and naval service
to meet conditions of warfare shown
In the conflict on land and sea in Eu-
rope Is outlined in a letter asking
Mr.. Edison whether, as a patriotic
service to his country, he would un-
dertake the task of advising the pro
posed bureau. The plan Is to have
several men prominent in special lines
OF inventive research associated in
the work.
Among the great problems to be
laid before the investigators, the Sec
rotary mentioned submarine war
fare, adding that he felt sure that
with Mr.. Edison's wonderful brain to
help them the officers of the navy
would be able to meet this new dan
ger with new devices that will assure
peace to our country by their effec-
tiveness."
In announcing that he would glad
~ accept Secretary Daniels invita-
ton, Mr.. Edison said he believed the
proposal SO important that it should
be attended to now, when the war in
Europe was bringing before the pub
lie the importance Of encouraging the
developing of the ideas and inven-
lions Of Americans-es especially Off
GERS and men Of the army and navy.
THE United States is far behind in
these matters" said Mr.. Edison. II
believe it is highly important for a
board Of civilians, made mp of engi-
neers from leading industries, to be
formed for the purpose OF looking
into the feasibility of ideas developed
by young men. While all ideas that
viii be submitted may not be feasible.
at least they will have the benefit Of
expert judgment and advice"

BOLD ROBBERY IN
YELLOWSTONE PARK
FIVE coAcH-LoADs OF TOURISTS
VICTIMS or HIGHWAYMEN IN
NATIONAL FAIRGROUNDS.
Hiahwaymen Met With No Opposition
Because Of Fact That No Firearms
Are Allowed In the Park-TWo
Suspects Under Arrest.

Livingston, Mont.-A party OF TWEEN
ty-flVe tourists, including United
States Senator James H. Brady OF
Idaho, was held up in Yellowstone
park on July 9 by three highwaymen.
One Of the tourists, a New Yorker
named Rice, was fired at when he
jumped down from stage coach and
ran back to warn members of the
party following in other coaches.
The bullet fired at Rice fiattened
itself against rock nearby. Rice
sped on and the bandits, realizing that
the sound of the shot would act as an
alarm, fed into the woods.
Soldiers from all parts Of the park
were ordered by telephone to the
scene OF the robbery, and two suspects
were put under guard.
The highwaymen met with no oppo-
sition because no firearms are allowed
in the park.
The scene of the hold-up is in a
heavily wooded section, where there
are numberless peaks and bluffs. The
coaches left Yellowstone early Friday
morning. They had gone fifteen miles
when they were halted.
The bandits did not stop the first
coach, but the others were held up
one after another, and then were or
dered to drive on. The coaches were
making for the Fountain hotel, where
the tourists were to have their lunch
con.
Several Of the tourists took the
hold-up as joke at first, but the ban.
dts rifle convinced them otherwise,

money and jewelry were many wo-
