FIND CARDINAL
 KNEELINC AMID
 CHURCH'S RUINS

Rheims, Aug. 22.-An inspection of the famous Church of St. Remy shows that it was damaged in numerous places by the recent bombardment which destroyed the civil hospital. Cardinal Lucion is among those who still remain here. He was found on Sunday alone and kneeling in prayer i'll heap of debris from the cathedral. In spite of the noise of the cannon ading in progress, the cardinal declar- ed he intended to stay in Rheims and would not desert the city under any circumstances.
 At the same time Monsignor Gfn1s- ty, Bishop of Verdun, who since the bombardment of that citadel has been staying at Bar-Le-Duc, celebrated mass at Vassincourt, which was the scene of bloody combats in September, 1914. Ringing of bells announced the arrival of the bishop of the from tier as he is known. Monsignor Gin isty delivered a stirring address on Victory" which, he said, lis prom ised and obscured."

ITALIAN MONARCH BRAVES DEATH TO
 INSPECT G0RIZlA

, Udine, Italy, Aug Fixing Victor Emmanuel entered Gorizia today un- der the fire of the Austrian artillery. Lucinio Bridge, which he crossed to enter the city, continues to be the ob- ject of relentless smelling by the Aus trian guns but, unmindful of danger, the King determined to make a per- sonal visit to the captured city.
 The King went to the city hall where he inquired regarding the meas ures which have been taken to re- store the civil life of the city The girls working in the vicinity learned of his presence and improvised a manifestation in his honor. News of the royal visit spread throughout the city and there was a demonstration as the Kings automobile passed through the city.

FOR MONUMENT
 TO SOLDIERS
Military Cemetery Where Hundreds of Veterans Are Buried Will Not Be Complete Until Memorial Is Erected.
(Darien Review)

Passing up and down the ancient Post Road, Darien, most travellers show an interest in the many little white headstones at the Soldiers bur- ial plot connected with the state sol diers home. Here lie the remains Of four hundred veterans of the Civil war and the number is constantly in creasing as the wearers of the blue answer the last roll call.
 The rows of marble stones, shining white in the sun, are an inspiring sight and impressive. Persons who stop and personally visit the cemetery will learn that the plot is attractively ar ranged in four divisions forming a circle in the center. This circle was reserved by thte projectors, it is said, as a spot on which there may be erected monument or memorial to the veterans. And it is of this that The Review would especially refer at this time.
 The occasion is a fitting one for discussing subject like this. Da- rien's soldiers burial ground needs a memorial. Will the prosperous state of Connecticut see to it that a memorial is erected or will some pa- triotic and generously inclined private citizen come to the iron with the of fer of a monument to the boys that lost their lives in the defense of their country!
 For ten years or longer the subject
 of memorial at the state soldiers burial ground has been discussed, quietly to be sure, but discussed. The Grand Army of the Republic has had the matter under consideration and the Sons of Veterans of the state have discussed the project at their meet ings. Now the subject is to be re- vided. Surely the state will have to hasten the erection of a memorial for time is flying and the youngest veteran will not survive many years and if memorial is to be erected it should be within the life time of these men. The appropriation of a sum of money for this laudable purpose would serve to distinguish thte government .of the state. It is proposed to bring the matter formally before the state officials and legislators.
 F1tch's home for state soldiers at Darten is a splendid institution It was established by generous and patriotic state government in honor of the vet erans of the war, where these men may reside, assured that when a last they are mustered out they will have a quiet place to rest. The Home at this time quarters a large number of veterans some of whom hope to live to see monument or memorial chap el or some other form of remem- brance. erected in the soldiers ceme- tery.

COATS ARE GROWING LONGER

In the September Woman's Home Companion the fashion editor says:
 Goats are conspicuously showing the descending life. Autumn suit coats will vary in length from twenty eight to thirty-eight inches, thirty-four inches being the most popular length; while forty-eight inches is good length for the separate coat.
 "Plaits and panels are featured. The flare is not as' prominent as in the spring models. This does not mean that they are not wide at the bottom for they are. The separate coats. es- pecially, show sweep at the hem. Some have the upper portion made with fitted lines, others hang from the shoulders.
 Plush, velour panecla-which is the short nap French velvet and imi- tation fur fabrics are all good mater ials for these coats. The leading nov city in these limitations is Rodier's ed- erella, a close imitation of Persian lamb.
 These suit coats and separate coats alike rely upon their collars and cuffs for their novelty note, and I assure you they have not relied in vain. The cape collar, about the only real mili- tary note in the new fashions, and the high wrinked crush collars, are the leaders. They both have the big clumsy look in common-it is regard ed as their chief style note. Some of these collars may be worn two ways, buttoned up close abou the neck, or laid out flat in cape style.
 Many of the separate coats, have kimono sleeves, often so stitched that they have a raglan effect. The full leg O. mutton style is seen, too, made with deep flaring cuffs.
 "Suit coats are nots howing many long shouldered effec,s. The armhole is generally the regular size. The sleeve most favored is the regulation coat sleeve with nothing new or un- usual about it until the cuff is reach ed. Then comes the novelty. Very deep cuffs are worn, fur and buoton- trimmed. Big, flaring, inverted bell cuffs that swing out from the sleeve and appear to be just broad band caught together and to the sleeve with a big button and buttonhole, in fact, there is no end to the cuff novelties.
 "1n the early fall many women of fashion will include in their ward robes Frenchy-looking pelerines of satin. These long coats were first made by Callot
