Mound DweIIers.

The name mound dwellers, for want
Of better is given to the prehistoric
and mythical inhabitants of the cen
trail West, who antedated the Indians.
The mounds, on which the name is
based, were parts of Notifications or
tombs, and their builders are supposed
to have been remote ancestors of the
Indians. One authority says: "The old
theory that the mound builders were a
distinct race Of highly civilized agri-
culturists who had lived from remote
antiquity in the regions Of thelmounds
and were eventually exterminated by
the nomadic hordes coming from the
northward, represented today by the
Indians, is no longer supported by
ethnologists, who hold that the Indians
are their descendants" Where they
came from orr how they got here are
matters of speculation.

When he was within about half a

they covered him and told him to

Everyone who has known the Belgium

country as in Italy every variety of
bird was pressed into service.
No one who has been through the
forests of the Ardennes will fail to re-
call how strangely silent they were,
how lacking in bird songs, for the
wholesale slaughter of the birds went
on until one wondered where the little
song birds appearing on their pieces
Of fried bread came from. Now with
the noise of battle over all the
land, the constant cannonading has
frightened away even the boldest Of
the native birds.
Grives were the aristocrats Of Bel
gian game birds, and one Of the most
delectable dishes known to the Bel
gian cuisine was grtyes Ia Manu-

DANIELS TO CONFER WITH WILSON ON
 NATIONAL DEFENSE

Washington, September S.-Secretary Daniels will confer again with Presi- dent Wilson next week on the question of national defenses. He would not re- veal today the building programme he would recommend but said he favored consistent policy of increa sing the navy along lines laid down by department ex- psrts.
 An abstract of the forthcoming annual report of the navy general board will be the basis of the discussion and also of later conferences between administration officers and leaders in Congress.
 Inquiries have been addressed by the navy department to manufacturers, it was announced today, as to the available out put of materials needed by the navy in time of war. The statement says it is a routine step.
 The inquiry is directed mainly to as- certaining the available supply of struc- tural material for shipbuiluding and for ships stores. Listing available merchant vessels for colliers and supply ships also has been undertaken. The statement says the information Is required in the de- velopment.of campaign plans which it is expected will take years to mature fully. Replies to the inquiries will be held con5 filential.

GOVERNMENT ENTERS
 SUIT TO DISSOLVE THE
 AMERICAN CAN co.

Baltimore September 3-Department of justice officials today filed in federal court here brief in the government S antitrust suit against the American Can company.
 The suit was instituted last year and voluminous testimony has been taken since. The brief declares the company is not natural growth but an artificial combination which controls more than 30 per cent of the trade.
 The document proceeds on the same theory of the law as the brief filed last spring in the supreme court in the liar vester case This construction of the law sets no limit to the size which a business may attain by growth from within. It freely permits combinations of trade units which supplement each orher-the integration of indusrfy. It per mits combinations of competitive units within limits. It prohibits, however, in any manner whatever the combining of competitive traders or trade units which together would occupy a preponderant position in any branch of trade

Germans Will Revise
 Submarine Campaign

Berlin. September 3.--tVia London, September A. 12:15 a. m.)-The Frank furter Zeitung in an article written before the publication of the news from Washington that Germany had agreed to revision of her submarine cam paign, but in anticipation of such an .ventuality. says
 Not only will peaceful solution of fne question be greeted with deep sat- isfaction as disappointing the hope of Gcrmarys enemies, but other far more important considerations speak in fa- vor of avoiding a conflict with the Uni ted States. Millions of Americans of German blood would be thrown into a tragic situat tion, torn between the land of their allegiance and that of their traditions. The overwhelming of Ger man consciousness and pride in Ger man descent in the millions of hearts in America, which promise so much for closer knitting of German Amer iran relations after the war would be stiflcd in long years of embitterment. A long series of other reasons speaks in favor of compromise.
 The Germanic points out that Count Won Bernstorff's instructions were really in accord with the spirit of the earlier German admiralty announce ments which emphasized the desire not to harm reutrals or noncombatants.

FRENCH AND ENGLISH CONFER ON QUESTION OF GERMAN EXPORTS
Definite Statement Expected in Regard to Austrian and German Goods Coming
 to the United States

Washington. September s.-confer- ences in progress between Great Brit am and France over the general sub Jsot of trade out of neutral European ports are expected to end in defi- nlte announcement of conditions un- der which Great Britain will permit shipment of German or Austrian made goods to the United States.
 statement issued tonight by the state department revealed that Am bassador Page at London has been told that all answer may be expected at a later date to his informal inquiry as to what treatment will be accorded ap- pl1eations for shipment permits made by Americans owning millions of dol lars worth of merchandise held at Rot terdam.
 Many importers are laboring under mistaken impression in regard to great Britain's attitude touching the bringing forward of goods of German origin" says the departments state- ment. "They seem to believe that gooos contracted for prior to March 1 with legal liability of payment are now freely coming forward and that appli- cations will be received by the Brit ish embassy at this capital. This Is an error
 "The American consul general at London informed the department that attorneys on the ground were obtain- Ing permits for such goods upon cer- tain conditions which were not spe- officially stated. Ambassador Page was immediately instructed to take up the matter Informally with the British for eign office and to inquire through what channels applications for permits were being received and what treatment would be accorded applications made through the foreign trade advisers as unofficial representatives of the Amer lean owners as in cases prior to June 15.
 "A cablegram was received Septem- Der 1 from Ambassador Page reporting in effect that the British government had replied that the questions pro pounded are connected with the gem eral question of shipments from neu- tral ports, now under discussion, about which the French government is being consulted and that an answer might be expected at later date.
 "The department is now sending a cableFram to the ambassador stating that the American importers not rep resented by private attorneys in Lon don feel that they should receive notice of any relaxation of the application of the British order in council in regard to goods owned by them in Rotterdam and are now entitled to full informa- ton as Co whether their applications would be received in London or by the British embassy here through the un- Official aid of the foreign trade ad- visers.'

LEOPOLD LOEB TALKS ON
 NEW MILLINERY STYLES

American hats for American women. That is one of the changes that the pres ent war In Europe has brought about in fashions circles" said Mir Leopold Loeb, the popular and efficient head of the millinery department of Loveman. Joseph X Loeb's yesterday, just after visit of several weeks in New York and Chicago, where he attended all the big fashion shows at the most exclusive establish ments in these style centers
 The American designer has come Into his own at last" Mir. Loeb continued. and he compares most favorably with the famous Pooh Bans of Paris and the Lord High Executioneers of ViennaI It Is up to the American designer to show his taste and talent now, for while we are not deserting Paris in time of trouble. Paris is not sending out the creations that 1t formerly did. How could it dc so with nearly all of the bonnet makers and couturiers at the front?'
 The Nits Millions for Manhattan and not one cent for Europe came the face tious exclamation. and thinking that was a noble thought-American designers throwing off the yoke of gay Farce American women trampIing viennese fashions in the dust, the reporter was en- couraged to continue. And how in your opinion does the American designer of chapeau meet the emergenct.'
 ''The chief trouble with the American designer" MT. Loeb said thoughtfully- Ifs, that he does not give the time to details, that the Parisian designer does. Take the Merle bird for instance, wnosu tiny plumage is used for trimmings. The French designers will work for hours separating the feathers of this dminutive bird and pasting each one on a band, finally making trimming large enough and long enough for a hat while the American,'

CT with such trifles. As matter of fact, when it comes down to brass taoks, Parlsan millinery has always been modified by American designers before being worn by American wom- en. Parisian fashions in hats are often ahsurdities for instance. broad orimmed hats are made for broad Parisian boulevards and not for mar row streets and narrower street cars. Bangles and tassels are admitted to be poor taste for the person who rides in bus or jitney and the towering skyscraper hats were never intended for taxicabs unless the top was down. Another thing. Parisian women have large heads-and a great deal of hair, hence styles for them do not suit American women Do you know by the way that every section of the country has a distinction of its own in head sizes for hats? Birmingham women wear large head sizes New York wom- on wear small head sizesAand so it is in different localities and the buyer has to think of all this when purchas- ing his stock"
 "The war has a distinct influence this season in another way regarding millinery MT. Loeb continued. Many colonial hats are shown also subma- ,ine shapes and torepdo shapes. Every thing tends to military effects. Gold laces and gold ornaments are to be used In profusion on every style or hat and nothing is considered quite ultra unless it is fur trimmed Gowns wraps, hats. everything will be trimmed in fur this season. Many beautiful nov cities gre shown in sets. consisting of nat, neck piece and huff, fur trimmed Fur is the keynote to smartness this scason--luxurious elegant beautiful furs of all kinds and descriptions. The woman who cant be satisfied with the variety of styles and modes now fash ionable is indeed fastidious for every thing from the brightest colors to the most sombre of dark colors will bA shown in millinery and every style of hat. both large and small, will be mod filed to the seasons whims."
