LONDON. July 2S-If the allies could
drive the Germans back to the Rhine

The landward gates OF the East are
open and undcfendcd. The riches Of

1t was even suggested that this ter

world and OF humanity had the private
support OF influential members o; tho

the thing sounds Incredible. but in the
last ten years far more incredible
things have proved 10 be true
The only way 10 beat Germany and
10 save tho world is 10 defeat her in
the west and To neutralize her victories
in the east. The allies must have a
Russian policy and middle eastern
policy as we'll as a western policy.
The allied statesmen cannot decide
their own main objects. They cannot,
for instance. make up their minds
whether their principal purpose is 10
thwart German aims in the east or 20
restore internal stability to Russia.
They cannot make UP their minds
about the Bolshcvists. and so they talk
amiab!e nothings to them. The Boil
shevists arc not Russia.
We are engaged in war with Ger
many, and our main purpose in Russia
and the east should be to thwart Ger
many. To tina, end we should help,
not one party in Russia. but the whole
Russian people. We should not be de-
tered because one party ia Russia
may dislike allied Intervention.

Airplanes for
Use of Surgeons
at the Front

PARIS, Oct. 1S.-SurgeOns of the
French army probably soon will be
carried in airplanes to presS ut sta
tons behind the firing line when their
services are urgently needed. Four
surgical airplanes are now being com
pleted for this use on the battlefelds.
The planes will be capable of lifting
three men-a pilot. a surgeon and an
Xray OPERATOR together with radio
graph, surgical instruments and a
small folding table in aluminium. They
will have a speed of from forty.five
to seventy miles an hour. which will
enable them to reach, for example,
Noyon to Paris in an hour. whereas
the lightest surgical motor takes half
a day.

Men With Best

Idaho. Wyoming, Colorado Utah, Ne
vada, New Mexico and other inland
states have better teeth than men

Oregon and California. according to

Ninety per cent of tn" men from the
three coast states need work how
ever against eighty per cent of those
coming from interior states"
No reason for T. wee in the
condition of the teeth of men from
different sections has been given One
theory is that there is more lime and
mineral in the water of the inland
states and another that the shifting
population of the large coast cities
may cause men to become more ne
glectful than those living at perman-

The ginghnm waistcoat made
tentative start for popularity. but was
soon running down the track at full
speed. All the younger set are wear
ing these waistcoats. the shops show
them at different prices. and they make
an alluring grouping of color in the
windows. They have started the fash
ion for n great variety of skeleton
waistcoats that are worn instead Of
collars. Many are high-necked, others
have long, sloping. double-breasted
revers. They are less trouble to ad-
just In blouse or coat than n collar.
for they have their own fastening and
are kept down at the waist by an elas-
tic band.
Pique has come back into fashion
for these waistcoats, but checked

In displays of midsummer frocks
for little maids, three fine and trust
worthy materials appear to fill all the
requirements Of designers. They are
voile. dotted swiss and organdie. and
they are dainty enough and at the
same time strong enough for the small
est girls dress-up frocks. yoile
has come to be great favorite on
account Of Its wonderful wearing
qualities, which make 1t worth while
to put careful needlework on it. Dot
ted swiss is liked because 1t Is crisp
and fresh looking, and organdie is
chosen for the finest of all dresses
made for the youngest wearers of
sheer frocks.
In the picture the little dress ut the
left is of white voile with shocked
yoke In which heavy blue embroidery
silk Is used for the ornamental
stitches. 1t has narrow panel set
on at the front. making place for two
rows Of tiny round crocheted buttons
and narrow sash of the voile finished
with two of the same buttons sus-
pended on the silk thread from the
ends. The designer did not over
look opportunities for these little
dangling buttons at the point of the
collar. or forget to introduce band
of shocking and fancy stitching on
the cuffs. Altogether this little frock
Is elaborated with considerable needle
work.

army there are also servants. officers
servants. or 30. s." as they are termed.
In the American army the common
name for them is dog robbers" From
controversy In the English papers.
Winston Churchill made the state
ment. as far as can remember. that
the officers servants In the British
forces totaled nearly two hundred
thousand. He claimed that this re-
moved two hundred thousand excep-
tionally good and well-trained fighters
from the actual firing line. claiming
that the officers, when selecting man
for servants duty, generally picked the
man who had been out the longest and
knew the ropes.
But from my observation l find that
large percentage OF the servants do
go over the top, but behind the lines
they very seldom engage In digging
parties, fatigues. parades or drills.
This work is as necessary as actually
engaging In an attack. therefore | think
II would be safe to say that the all
round work of the two hundred thou
sand is about equal to fifty thousand
men who are on straight military du.
ties. In numerous instances. officers
servants hold the rank of lance-corpo-
rails and they assume the same duties
and authority OF butler, the one
stripe giving him precedence over the
other servants.
There are lots of amusing stories
told OF 20. s."
One day one Of our ma jors went into
the servants billet and commenced
'blinding" at them, saying that his
horse had no straw and that he per-
sonally knew that straw had been Is
sued for this purpose. He called the
lnnce-corpor,l to account. The COR
porai answered. "Blime me, sir. the
straw was issued. but there wasn't
beds; in fact, we had to use some OF
the 'oy to 'elp out. sir
II is needless TO say that the serv.
ants dispensed with their soft beds
that particular night.
Nevertheless Ii is not the fault of
the individual officer, II Is just the sur
vivai OF n quaint old English custom.
You know an Englishman cannot be
changed in day
But the average English officer Is a
good sport. He will sit on fire step
and listen respectfully to Private
Jones' theory of the way the war
should be conducted. This war is
gradually crumbiing the once insur-
mountable wall of caste.
You would be convinced of this IL
you could see King George go among
his men on an inspecting tour under
/ fire. or pause before little wooden
cross In some shell-tossed field with
tears in his eyes as he reads the in
scription. And a little later perhaps
bend over wounded man on stretch
er, patting him or the head.

Fashion Points of Interest.

There are four things in fashion that
are often discussed today: The severe
uncollared neck line, the short sleeve,
the cape back and the lack of chiffon
biouses. A dressmakeS drew pa
irons attention to the absence of the
latter garment because Of the preva-
lence of one-piece frocks, and told how
the shirt waist people were depending
upon wash blOuses to continue their
business Sailor collars are not smart.
High collars that roll upward at the
back and down In the front are not at
tached to coats. The collars that go
on bodices of one-piece frOcks end be-
fore they reach the collarbone, and the
rest of the decolletage is untouched by
any line of white. i
