Russian effects worn outside the skirt are gaining in favor in waists. Large collars are also a new feature. Fabrics and colors are so varied as to meet every individual taste and re quirement.
 Sport shoes are no longer consider ed clumsy. The flat heel of today is as smart as the most graceful French heel.

BRITISH CHEER U. S. TROOPS
American Soldiers Reviewed by King
George In London-Huge Crowds
Line Streets.

London, Aug. 16.-American troops
marched through London. They were
reviewed by Ambassador Page and
later by King George at Buckingham
palace. Great crowds lined the streets,
which were decorated profusely with
American and British flags.
Enthusiasm was shown everywhere.
The Americans were cheered by civil
ians, by soldiers on their way to the
front and by wounded men. The
troops were escorted by guard bands.
A meeting of the cabinet was in
progress when the Americans ap-
preached Whitehall. 1t was adjourned
to permit the premier and his col
leagues to pay their compliments to
the Americans. The cabinet went in
a body to the war Office.
The newspapers say that for a
parallel to the scenes witnessed in the
neighborhood of Trafalgar square it
probably would be necessary to recall
the time Of the South African war and
the return home of the troops.

CHAPTER VIII.

Later she recalled that one of the
foghorn's agonized squalls had seemed
like a signal for the attack. 1t was
reverberating in her ears, like the
shrek of a damned soul, all the while
she was struggling in that brutal en-
brace. 1t was still yammering even
when she was released.
Throughout her consciousness was
faithfully registering nightmare I'M
pressions-of the second man Closing
in TO aid her first assailant; of saw
age tearing of her cloak; of cyn1cai
accents breathed hatefully in her ear
"Easy now! Take it easy, little one

of q third voice rapping out an oath OF
rage: Of sounds like the crack OF a
pistol shot, the thud of heavy fall, a
grunt of pain, a vile expression from
him who held her
And then she was free-and the fog
horn still screeching!
She staggered back to the RAIL- ner
brain Keeling, no true conference IN her
consciousness the struggle De
tween instructive desire to scream ana
the knowledge that for some reason
she mustn't.
Then a friendly voice saluted 1acui-
ties just beginning to comprehend that
chance had sent rescue. You, MISS
Craven? You?" Quoin was bending
solicitously over her as she chung trem-

Words come with difficulty from a

CANADIAN TROOPS WIN
IMPORTANT HILL AT LENS
Famous Position, Deemed Impregnabie
by the Germans, FaIis-Many Pris-
oners Captured.

British Front in France and Bel
GUM, Aug. 16-Considerable numbers
of German prisoners are beginning to
arrive in the collection depots. The
new British front has been established
on triangular line, like a pair of
shears, whose points are to the north
and south of Lens.
In the first STAGES of the fighting the
Canadians met with comparatively
small opposition, but as they pushed
into the Lens environs the defense of
the Germans stiffened Whatever the
outcome, the battle already has taken
place in the list of the most impor-
tant conflicts in the war through the
capture of Hill 70, as this height domi-
mates the city and the Loos salient.
The hill was captured by the Canadi-
ans.
The British and Germans were in
close grips in the western part of the
City of Lens itself following the brill
liant morning advance whereby the
Canadians captured Hill 70 and then
swept on northwest Of Lens.
The British also pushed their lines
into the northwestern environs of
Lens, in semicircle around the east
ern side of Hill 70. The British attack
was made on a 4,000-yard front, which
had an extreme depth of 1900 yards.
Beginning at a point just above
Hugo wood, the new British positions
now run southeast and beyond Hill 70
toward Lens. The line then bends
southwest and encircles the suburbs
of st. Laurent and st. Emile.
The British guns had been pounding
for days Hill 20, which the Germans
considered impregnable. The infantry
attack began at 4 20 o'clock in the
morning.
The capture of Hill 70 ranks in i'm
portance with the biggest military OPP
erations of this year. 1t was the last
dominating position in this section
which remained in the hands of the
Germans and from it a wide territory
can be controlled.
1t was just A 20 when the British
guns dropped protecting barrage be-
fore the Canadian trenches Gnd the
troops leaped over the parapet for the
charge.
l. The French attacked in Belgium at
night and made a considerable advance
in the region of the Dixmude road.

the evidence in this, one of those Chi
nese puzzle boxes. If you don't know
the combination, it leeds an ak to open
it. Put it away somewhere-your
trunk till we land-but take it ashore
in your handbag. A tip from the other
side, you know, and the customs in
spectors'll turn my luggage inside out;
but you're perfectly safe, you see,
coming in as an alien. They'll pass you
on your declaration"
The girl slipped the box-it was
about large enough to hold deck Of
cards-into the lining pocket of her
cloak. "Fll keep it safe" she said
quietly.
''Dear child! It's so good to have
you to count oni" Craven patted her
cheek affectionately. Nothing like
ones own flesh and blood! I thought
could trust that man: he was my
only aide this trip" He sighed pro-
foundry, and shook doleful head.
"Well-good-nigh again. I'll. go aft
again; you forward. We mustn't be
seen CONTEMPLATING out here at this
hour"
He stepped back two PAGES and van
ished like shape Of dream.
For a moment or two the girl lin
gered, listening keenly; but, hearing
nothing, not even Craven's retreating
footsteps, she finally took heart and
moved quietly forward beside the rail.
But she had put barely eight PAGES
behind her when she checked smartly,
with an inarticulate gasp, just short
of one whose burly figure, motionless,
barred her path. And then, as she
stepped back and turned in toward
the superstructure, thinking in her
panic to escape by a sudden dash for
the companionway, some whim or
chance caused the tenant Of the near
est stateroom to turn on the lights, and
two square windows leaped refulgent
out of the gloom, the nearer silhouet-
ting the head and shoulders of another
man into whose embrace, as well, she
had been on the point Of throwing
herself.
simultaneously strong hands fell
upon her shoulders from behind, she
was whirled about into the hollow OF
powerful arm, and an 1ncipient
scream was smothered on her lips by
the impact Of a heavy palm.

The World on Wheels.

According to q report by the office
Of public roads, which takes notice Of
such matters, there were 3,512996 au-
tomobiles and motor trucks and 250,-
800 motorcycles registered in the
United States in 1916. This is an in
crease of 43 per cent over the registry
of cars and trucks for the previous
year. The gain was greatest in the
Southern states, where it reached SO
per cent. On the estimate of the pres
ent population there is now an automo-
bile for every 20 people in the United
States. On the basis of comfortable
seating capacity, this makes room for
one-sfxth of the inhabitants, says
Thomas F. Logan in Leslie's. Or, in
other words, if properly apportioned,
every sixth or seventh family would be
found supplied. The total license reve-
nue. derived from this source for 1915
was $25 ,865,370, which represents an
increase of $1,000, $50 over the receipts
of the same character for the year
before.

Derivation of Germany"

"German" and Germany come from

others say meant 'neighbors." me

is DISPENSER OF COMFORT
One EngIishwoman Does "Her Bit" by
Keeping Omen House for Wounded
Mems Visitors

There is large class of English
women, writes London correspondent,
who have to keep their own homes go
ing, but who manage to take time to
help to ease the war strain. She visits
soldiers wives and families in dark
and dirty streets, as do most of her
friends and hundreds of other women.
She never goes empty-handed. To pay
for these luxuries she dispenses with
help in the housework, rising earlier
in the morning to do it herself. Here
is the experience of one:
In the course of her visit to a hos
pital tall, sad, young Scotchman won
her sympathy. He was grievously
wounded, but what he seemed to suffer
from most was homesickness and a
wild longing for his own people, eS-
pecially his mother. "She can't afford
it." he said when asked why she did
not visit him. "She could get a half
fare warrant, I know, but even then
she's not accustomed to travel, and
she'd be lost in a strange town."
This gave her an idea. She would
ask the mother to come to Leeds and
stay with her! She met her at the sta
ton and took her up to the. hospital,
where the excited boy lay.
For few days the old Scotch wom-
an stayed with her, and then returned
to Scotland full of gratitude and de-
light at having seen her son. She was
the first of many guests entertained by
this warm-hearted Englishwoman. Sol
diers' wives came, sometimes bringing
with them a baby-once or twice it
was baby the father had never seen
before, born while he was at the front;
soldiers sisters, sweethearts, mothers,
all poor women who could not afford
to have come without her offer of hos
pitality. They arrived tired, anxious
and sad, and she comfOrted them and
cheered them, and they went away hap
pier to know that their dear ones had
so kind a friend at hand.

Then paint it all over with two coats

first one dry before supplementing it
with the second. When this is quite
dry, give the floor a coating of orange
shellac. After this is dry, go over It
with a second coat. This gives an ex-

the linoleum not only look well, but
add greatly to its wearing qualities.

Why Cherries Are Red.

It was the theory Of Darwin that
nature made cherries beautiful to the
eye for definite purpose. Red, he
said, was the most prominent and at
tractive color. Cherries turned to that
hue in order to attract birds. Birds,
noting the brilliant globules, tasted
them, found them to their liking, told
other birds and consumed the crop,
swallowing seeds and all. In this way
the cherry stones were carried far ana
wide over the country and dropped
where they might grow into other
cherry trees.
