our fellow countrymen with regard
to the outcome of the war and the

the utmost explicitness in an address

General Nivelles new offensive, be-
gun Sunday, is still under way He
fcrestalled a gigantic German counter
offensive. German prisoners revealed
the enemy's plans. Great forces of
German troops were massed for an
advance with new guns, and great
stores of ammunition we're gathered.
Then the French struck a sudden and
unexpected blow. They forced the
Germans back ana wrecked the Ger
man offensive scheme.

Port Oxford Men Loyal.

MARSHFIELD, Ore-Port Oxford
to-day claims the distinction of being
the most patriotic town in the state
of Oregon. One-third of its entire
male population has gone to war, and
there is not a man between the ages
of q and 81, the conscription age, lett
in the town. None Of the men who
have offered their services to their
country from Port Orchard have failed
to pass the strict physical examira-
tions. Port oxford is the western
most town in the United States proper.

GERMANY PLOTTING
FOR BOGUS PEACE
KAISER SEEMS ANXIOUS TO SUS-

OWN TERMS.

LONDON Germany is again active
ly plotting for peace after a lull in
her propaganda efforts. A half dozen
European cities report Teutonic eff
forts to end the war on Germany's own
terms. Because of Premier Ribot's
firm statement of the French aims, and
the additional statement of Americas
position, this last German movement
is not likely to make headway.

The Return of Irish Lace.

| The return of Irish lace as trim
ming for blouses and lingerie is sure
to be popular There never was a
kind of lace that had so many warm
admirers among discriminating Ameri-
can women as did Irish and that va
riety of lace based it's popularity on
very real merit. In the first place 1t
possesses that attribute without which
real popularity in this land of ours
would be impossible-that is smartness.
Mere prettiness or daintiness would not
long suffice to keep any kind of lace
in high vogue. Another merit OF irish
lace is&hat of durability. The fact that
the merest amateur can discriminate
between Irish lace of good quality
and that of inferior workmanship also
help to make it popular.
Already many of the high priced
waists are shoVing Irish lace. which is
bound to be more expensive now than
it was several years ago when 1t en-
joyed popularity before. for the reason
that all Irish imports are scarce, ard
Will probably remain so for the period
of the war. To be sure certain
amount of Irish lace has always come
from France. but that land has tttle
more time for lace making or facility
for exporting it than her ally TO the
west of England.
Irish lace will be seen used in COM
bination with georgette crepe to con-
siderable extent, not only on blouses,
but on high grade undertoggery. 1t
will also be used extensively with crepe
de chine whereas when it was last in
vogue it was used almost exclusively
with fine null, organdy or handker-
chief linen.
The woman who saved pieces of Irish
lace from its last vogue has good rea-
son to congratulate herself as they are
well worth trip to the cleaners or the
exertion required by a careful home
cleansing. Irish lace will stand more
strenuous scruhbing than any other
sort of lace and 1t is really not neces
sary to go about the cleansing process
with the gloved hands that would be
necessary in order to clean duchess or
venetian lace. Needless to say one
would not safely use strong soap or
washing powders on Irish lace. but any
mild soap applied in strong hot soap
suds is not too strenuous a treatment.
If the lace persists in being yellow the
best way to bleach it Is by means of the
direct sunlight. 1t should he nut out
when moist and should be remoistened
occasionally during the bleaching pro-
cess.

garment. For years. in fact, one might
safely say always. the short fur coat has
been classed with sport garments. and
has been rather severe. square cut and

The Riddle Is Answered.

Peter Rabbit doesn't like riddles.
When he is curious about a thing he
wants to know all about it right away.
So when Filter the Bat told him that
his babies were too young to fly and
yet that he hadn't the least idea
whether or not they were at home
where he left them when he started
out to hunt for his dinner at dusk
Peter was inclined to be a little pro-
voked.
If those babies We're too young to fly
how could they be anywhere but at
home? That was what Peter couldn't
understand. Filter said that it was a
riddle for Peter to guess, and no
amount of teasing on Peters part in
duced him to give so much as a hint
a to the answer. The truth is he en-
joyed teasing Peter. Il don't believe
you've been telling me the truth" de-
clared Peter at last IF your babies
can't fly and can't use their legs for
getting about as other animals do. OF
! course they must be right there in
that Granny in the roof of Farmer
Browns barn where you left them. 1t
is perfectly useless for you to hang
most anywhere. l don't call that a
