GERMANS ITBERAL;; -
u. S. PUT TO TEST

Germany and the United States are
embarking simultaneously on an ap-
peal to their people for more of the
wherewithal to carry ON the war. ="
1t is the second undertaking Of the
United States Government and the
seventh for the peoples of the Ger
manic states. We have in
creased our supply of gold since 1914
by the sum of $1,20O,000,00O while
Germany is in such a plight for ade-
quate gold supplies she has been COM
PEELED to ask her people to turn in
their rings, gold watches, trinkets and
other gold ornaments, that the dimin-
ishing gold supply might be replen-
ished, and yet the supply has fallen
to point where the Imperial Banks
holdings are lower now than at any
time since the summer of 1915.
The contrast between the positions
of the two nations is striking and yet
Germany has started off in. her ap-
peal with no rebuffs. The people,
pinched and suffering from all man
ner of privations and burdened with
sorrows for loved ones lost at sea or
in battle on land, are coming forth
for the seventh time and laying their
savings on the altar of their country
for sacrifice.
With us there will not and cannot
be any communicating of savings as
in Germany, but our people must heed
only the promptings of patriotism and
devoted allegiance to the flag and the
Government to- inspire them to buy
Liberty Bonds. The capital is here
in abundance.

to borrow money for heirbianting.

GERMAN PILL BOXES"
PROVE VULNERABLE
(By william Phillip simms)

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
With the British Armies in the Field,
Oct. 6-Field Marshal Haig's most sue
cessful blow against the German lines
was achieved against Germany newest
defensive scheme-and against the plan
of warfare on which the Teutonic high
command has pinned all its hopes.
The outstanding fact of the victory,
as its fruits were computed today, was
that the German fFpill box" defense
scheme is just as vulnerable as the old
style trench defense plan.
The Germans decided to give up their
complete trench warfare, because they
found that tho tremendous British bar
rage fire made trenches death traps.
''The Prussian imperatorix" as Won
Hindenburg now is called in Germany,
thereupon devised the concrete shell de-
Tense, distributed over a wide zone and
sprinkled with "piIl boxes" This de-
tense scheme succeeded the intrieatellr
complete trench system on the very
froat where Haig struck. The new plan
had for months been extolled behind the
German lines as Germany's supreme
tactical achievement. 1t was to the Ger
n an rank ard file the u~nbreakable
f'Hindenburg defensive"
But Haig broke 1t. The Hindenburg
defensive did not live up to the ex-
peetations which its first tryout around
Ypres in the summer IS battles had rails
cd. The conviction must now have been
ba-ne home erushingly on the Germans
that their armor is cracking.

Raiders Believed CAPTURED.

San Francisco, Oct. 6.-That the cap
tain and two members of the crew of
the German sea raider Seeadler were
captured by a British cruiser off the
Society islands three weeks ago, was
reported here today. According to the
story the men were taken to Hong Kong
and interned, while the launch in which
they we're cruising was sunk. There is
no confirmation.
The remainder of the Seeadler's crew
is supposed to be on a French ship
which they captured and which they are
operating as a raider.

New York, Oct. Ito 60 shopping
with a husband in search of a gown for
his left at home spouse is a liberal
education in what's what for the nouee
in the mode. / did it yesterday and
here's where I pass on a little of my
liberal education to those less sartori-
ally erudite.
The two main points CLEANED are that
if you haven't any waist you are all
right but if you have mt any neck you
are lost. All of the gowns dragged out
fer cur inspection were either collared
high and tight and choky or else they
showed what the sales-duchess assured
us was the new neck line. This meant
that it is out straight across, following
the line of the collar-bone In front and
the m height in back. This is a
most trying line unless the neck is a
perfect pillar of beauty, round and
young and fair, which il ISM very
often. This same neck curved slightly
to make a rounded outline is a slightly
variation offered but no supplementary
collar to lace, net or white Georgette
is allowed to relieve or soften the
chaste severity of it's contour.
Occasionally a narrow band of fur,
or metallic or worsted embroidery, or
a narrow banding of beads is allowed
Enlistment a~ccentuates rather than
alleviates the hardness of the line. Ct
got all these perfectly good three syl-
liable words from the sales-duchess as
part of my liberal education.)
The high collars are made to fasten
almost up to one s ears. You we prob
ably heard about them but if you don
them you will never hear above them
so muffled will your aural appendages
become in their fur-banded tops. There
win be an awful slump in the ear muff
market this winter. These new choker
collars will have quite pushed them off
the map and the face of things.
Satan will certainly be at a loss for
an idle hand this season for every sort
of gown, afternoon, morning, house or
evening is simply smothered in hand
work of some sort, either embroidery
in worsted, silk or metallic threads,
braiding or beading.
Jet beading and fringe adds a gilt
terry touch and metal brocades of all
sorts and descriptions are used in every
conceivable manner as trimmings on all
sorts of gowns.
Wide bands of furs, preferably fox,
are shown as ~favorite garnishments and
are most effective bordering tunic
overskirts of G%eorgette or side panels
of Georgette which fall almost to the
top of the hem of the u~nderskirt. The
fur bands are also stunning on the
loose wide Chinese sleeves of G~eorgette
which are so popular.
Taupe, soft and subtitle, is a favorite
shade and vies for favor with all
shades of blue from navy and midnight
to peacock and Natter. Combinations
