GERMAN WAR MINISTER
 PRAISES GREAT ARMY; AND FORCASTS VICTORY
Adolf Wild von Hohenhorn Declares the Support of the German People Has Made
 Possible Military Progress.
(By Review Leased Wire. ]

BERLIN, April 1O.-tVia Amster- dam to London, April 1.-The Ger man war minister. General Adolf Wild von Hohenborn, has made the follow ing statement in the Reichstag:
 "I refrain from making an extended statement to you on the military situa- tion, as the daily reports from head quarters enable the nation to follow the satisfactory developments of mil itary affairs on all the fronts. Our army reports are phrased with military brevity, but in contrast with those Of our enemies, they are always true.
 "A victorious country has no need to make excuses that we have been victorious.
 This our enemies also know though they do not admit it That we shall be victorious throughout and the glor- ious end is guaranteed by the heroism of the army. the united will of the people and the moral strength of the nation and abundance of all kinds of supplies to carry on the war"
 ''To attain our aim I have set to work with all my skill A hundred meters of trenches have more value for me than the best of speeches. By strong blows on the battlefield and strong will at home we shall win in the end
 "Only if those at home hold on can the army do its utmost. Never before has warfare been extended as now being done by England. The resources at our disposal are too vast, and ouI will is too strong for England to be able to make effective her starvation plan.
 "The cooperation of Germans ai home in this war is a spectacle of gi- gantic and historic importance and the army expresses it's gratitude to the German people for it's strong minded heroism at home Supported by this spirit the army will give it's all in all effort to secure peace, the importance of which will in proportion to our sac rifices, and safeguard us in the flu [ tUre against similar assaults. Until then patience. Decisions are ripenine , slowly but surely toward an inevita' ble complete victory"

An the guimpe frocks are fashionable
this season. This one can be given two
entirely different effects, for the skirt can
be treated as it is on the figure or entirely
covered with ruffies. The palmer dress
made, as it is here, of the dotted challis
with velvet ribbon for the trimming and
worn over guimpe of fine muslin makes a
very attractive little afternoon dress. The
frock shown in the back view made of
net over taffeta skirt and with taffeta
over-bodice, is adapted to dances and
occasions of such sort. The skirt ID
circular and can be sewed to the guimpe
or the guimpe and skirt may each be
finished with a belt and attached with
snap fasteners. The ruffle that forms the
peplum is sewed to the over-bodice. II
a more dressy effect is wanted, sash-like
draperies of silk or of ribbon can be
arranged over the shoulders and passed
through slashes.
For the IL year size will be needed 7L
yards of material 27 inches wide, "a yards

TO betray any excess of feeling was
50 unusual to Grace that she submitted
TO her mothers embrace only for a
moment. Yet in that moment the
mother wondered if at last she and her
child were TO be as close as she had
always wished they might be. But she
did not have time to ponder this mat
ter for more than an instant, for Grace
pulled herself free with a laugh at her
own weakness.
II declare / must be getting very
silly" she exclaimed Being here so
much with you seems to have made
me childish and dependent. Forgive
me, mother"
There is nothing to forgive" the
mother protested hastily. LAS your

children three-quarters of the year,
and then only earn enough to allow
her to buy the plain. practical clothes
that she must have. Now, if | had
beauty, or style. or something, ii
might be different. You remember
the small girl who prayed Dear God,
make me stylish l can make myself
good"
There was a bitter ring in her
laugh, but this time the mother did
not make the mistake of taking her
in her arms.
