Saw Paris DESIGNERS

Correspondence OF The Associated Press)
Paris, Sept. 15.-The Paris Dress
makers Syndicate chamber, the asso-
ciation of all the chief houses, has
informed the government, in answer
to an official inquiry, that the length
of wool cloth for dresses for the win-
ter of 1918 will not exceed four and
half meters, little less than FIVE
yards.
The director of one OF the best
known houses in Paris and London,
interviewed on this decision, which
seems to foreshadow the continued
use of short skirts and to insure the
tailor-made costume as general wear,
said.
THE dirninution Of the leugth Of
cloth used in wool costumes has really
been in effect since last season. With
out any general agreement, merely un-
der the pressure Of necessity, dress
makers had already restricted the
amount used before the war by Is
per cent. Army needs, in America
as we'll as France, and the diminished
production in the two countries oblige
US to continue along these lines. OF
course, we shall make no attempt to
get round the chambers decision by
ordering cloth of greater width; we
shall rather try to employ mixture
of materials, combining wool mate
rials with silk and silk or cotton vel
vet.
"The recent decision cannot affect
our models for next winters gowns,
for they were ready before it was
reached"

northeast of scissors and south of
Laon. according to Berlin.
Probably the Germans have only
retired across the Ailette river from
Chavignon to Craonne, a distance of
about IS miles, or they may have
started on retreat paralleling that
Of last March to the Somme, when
they finally fell back before Anglo
French pressure from Arras to Sois-
sons.
Even If they have only withdrawn
across the Ailette, it is not unlikely
because OF General Petain's success
full drive of last week, when he
reached the Oise-Aisne canal, eight
miles southwest of Laon, and cap
tured more than 1900 prisoners.
From the positions gained then the
French bombarded the Germans
clinging to the hilly strip between
the Chemin des Danes and the ALL
ette.
The hills on the northern bank of
the Ailette generally are not as high
as those on the south, and the crown
prince may have gone back to the line
of the Ardon river, which runs south
west from Laon and joins the ALL
cite north of Chavignon. 1t is i'm
probable that the Germans did not
retire across the Ailette. as not to do
so might place them in worse posi-
ton than on top of the ridge.
May Have Left Laon.
The retirement might include Laon,
the reputed southern citadel of the
Hindenburg line of last March, but if
the front OF the Ailette is given up,
line from st. Quentin through La
Fere, Laon and Montaige to Neuf-
chatel-Sur-Aisne, along the railroad
between La Fere and Neufchatel
might offer a good halting place.
A retirement only to the northern
bank of the Ailette between Chavig-
non and Craonne might not affect the
line from Chavignon north to St.
Quentin, but further retreat would
involve the present lines as far as
La Fere at least. On the eastern end
of the Chemin des Danes. if the re-
tirement is not made secure quickly,
there is the possibility Of French
blow in Champagne which might
straighten out the entire front from
Craonne to Verdun.
Cadorna Making Stand.
General Cadorna has halted on the
western bank OF the Tagliamento,
momentarily at least, to face the on
coming Austro. Germans. The eastern
bank OF the river, Berlin reports, has
been cleared of Italians from the Felia
valley, where the Tagliamento turns
westward near Tolmezzo to the Ad-
riatic.
Italian guns are bombing the in
vaders along, the new line, but appar-
entity no attempt has yet been made
by the Austro-Germans to force a
crossing of the river. There are no
indications as to the whereabouts of
the Austro-Germans reported driving
through the Carnic Alps early in the
week in an attempt to turn the flank

The diary contained a minute rec

BANKERS Save
STELLA FARMER
FROM CON" men
Two Claim Swindlers Foiled in
Effort to Get Ten Thousand
Dollars From John
CoonS.

The alertness of c. E. Price, presi.
dent OF the Commercial National
bank, Council Bluffs, and of J. R.
Cain, jr., vice president of the State
Bank of Omaha, saved John Coons,
wealthy farmer of Stella. Neb.. from
being swindled out of $4,000.
The game by which Coons was
lured to Omaha and Council Bluffs
bears all tie earmarks that dis
tinguished the swindling of Farmer
Schroeder of De Witt few days
ago. Bankers are sure the two deals
as we'll as others within the last few
weeks, were carried on by the same
gang. In fact, the two farmers,
Schroeder and Coons, were brought to
the same bank. the Commercial Ma
tional, Council Bluffs.
Coons owns fine half-section farm
near Stella. Recently a stranger ap.
peared at his home and offered to
buy the farm for $3.50 an acre. The
farmers confidence was gained by
this deal, the stranger representing
himself as a man OF wealth who had
a nephew who had run through for
tune. He wished, he said, to buy the
farm and see whether he couldn't
guide him into the straight and mar
row path.
Comes with Draft.
Presumably the plausible stranger
suggested some other deal in con-
nection with the farm purchase. He
induced Coons to come to Omaha and
Coons came with draft of $4,000
issued by the State bank Of Stella
and drawn on the State bank OF Oma.
ha. In Omaha a second stranger
joined the uncle of the wayward
nephew.
The two strangers took good care
not to bring their intended victim to
the State Bank of Omaha on which
his draft was drawn, for the vice pres
ident of that bank has known Coons
for 20 years. Instead, they guided him
to the Commercial National bank oi
Council Bluffs. There the $4,000 draft
was presented.
Declines to Pay.
President Prices .suspicions were
aroused when the confidence men
asked for cash. Mr.. Price declined
to pay that sum of money even on
draft without more thorough inves-
tigation. He ordered the draft sent
to the bank in Stella, requesting that
a draft be issued payble to the Com
merciai National bank If the draft
was good.
Vice President Cain Of the State
Bank of Omaha was communicated
with and he telephoned to the bank
ers at Stella.
And here enter the features which
prove that the deal was "con" game.
A letter was received by the Stella
bank signed with Coons name and
complaining thai the banks delay in
issuing the draft was delaying busi-
ness deal. Later a Telegram, signed
with his name was received by the
bank. Both these were forgeries.
Coons knew nothing of them until he
saw them at the bank.
