TADP0LE-SHAPED BAG NOW USED IN
 ARMY OF FRANCE
Sausage" Balloon Being Abandoned for More
 Tractable Type.

Paris, March 30.-Among the latest triumphs of the French aerial service is new observation balloon known as Le Caquot. At the beginning of the war observers other than those in aeroplanes utilized kite balloons of the German Drachen type, called by the French soldiers "sausages." There are still some of these in use at the front but Le Caquot Is much prefer red
 In shape it resembles a great tad pole. Whree as the Drachen is incon- venienced by wind of from 50 to 55 feet second, Le Caquot can re- main in the air unless the wind ex-l ceeds 65 to 75 feet a second. It takes 50 experienced men to maneuvre it for as soon as it leaves the shed great attention must be paid to the wind currents so as to save the envelope from being torn. Attached to the balloon is a wicker car, in which the observer is installed with his maps, charts, arms, barometers, and telephone, the latter fixed over his/ears so as to leave his hands free. He is also provided with glasses and white, silk parachute for an emer- gency.
 
 tude of from 2,OO0 feet to 5000 feet the windlass to which the cable is fixed is drawn by horses or motorcar at a moderate pace to a point near the enemy lines, where a refuge exca- vated in the soil has been| prepared. This accomplished, the observer trans mits his instructions by telephone. Two anti-aircraft posts are establish ed nearby to keep off the German air planes. If the balloon is menaced the crew brings it down from 5000 feet in seven to ten minutes. Observers frequently pass from fif- teen to eighteen hours in the restrict ed space of the balloon cars, com municating with the batteries by tele- phone, but even strong men are un- able to pass more than three days at a time at this eXhausting occupation, constantly exposed to the enemy's fire.

THE FIT

One of the admirable feat ures of these suits is the way they fit and hang on the fig ure; try on one and note how the collar hugs the neck, and note the graceful and stylish waistline, some with the high-waist effect popular this season. The trousers drape tasteful1y from hips ,as you see them in the fashion plates. |?

THE TAILORING

The workmanship is the product of men who couldn't urn out slovenly work, if they tried; the Things and trim mings are of the highest class and every seam is sewed to stay sewer and the finish of ' every garment shows the thoroughness, taste, and skill that mark the custom-made clothing and give it perma- nent shape and long life.

MASSACRE WOMEN AT SEA.
Germans MercileSsly Fired on Life
 Boats of Convoy.

London, Nov. 8.-An appalling story of coldblooded massacre by Germans of the crews of the British sea conveys in a recent battle is told by the Norwegian newspapers The Tidenstegn said the German cruisers were observed at 6 o'clock in the morning and were thought to be British vessels, but at o'clock, when there was more light, they suddenly began shooting and the convoy was terrified to see the British destroyer at the stern of the convoy begin to sink, altho it fought to the end.
 The German cruisers, after sig naling the vessels to stop, advanced on each side of the convoy, which they swept with all their guns at a range of less than two hundred yards.
 The German destroyers came up and helped to spread deatl. and de- structi0n on the defenseless ships, shells falling thick and fast. The Germans were not content to sink the ships, but shelled the lifeboats, and every living thing coming their way was mercilessly slaughtered. The survivors owned their lives to the high sea, which was running making the boats a difficult mark.
 In the midst of the massacre an- other destroyer came up and imme- diately attacked, but was soon sunk m the unequal struggle The Ger man flotilla then rushed backward and forward along the sinking steamers, pouring a fresh and ter rlble rain of shells at a range of only one hundred yards One shell went thru the Swedish ship Wirndar, ex- ploding in the lifeboat on the other side and killing all it's occupants. fourteen men and three women.
 The other liIeboat rowed back to rescue the captain and two wait resses from the deck. A shell struck the bow and killed five oc- cupants. only the mate escaping by swimming The Wirndar was a mass of flames, and the two girls Jumped into the sea. The captain was saved by clinging to wreckage. As the two young women were sink ing, an English ship hoisted the white flag. The answer of the Ger mans was a shot which killed both girls.
 Twelve men of another ship had just got into the lifeboat when a shell killed them all.
