London, Sept. 5.-From just below

retreat.
This retrograde movement is not q
voluntary one on the part OF the enc

Of unremittins hammer blows inflicted

SIX or seven weeks. It has now been
accelerated by the notable victory won

KATHRYN HARD
HIT BY STORM
Buildings Washed Away,
Fields Cleared, in Ter
rifle Rain.

Details of the cloudburst that hit
Kathryn, N. D., in the jamestown
district storm in which two men
were killed by the derailment OF a
train in a Washout, received in Far
go today, indicate that the storm
was one Of the worst ever known in
the state.
The sheyenne river is, at places.
far out Of it's banks at the present
time, and at Lisbon a mill has been
seriously endangered.
At Kathryn the rain was so heavy
that a veritable river was formed in
the town, and number Of small
buildings were moved or destroyed.
A photograph gallery owned by Ole
Benson Of Litchville, was carried
200 feet. and lodged against another
building. Another building was
carried so feet by the flood, while
wheat fields were swept clean of
grain, bundles being carried into
the Sheyenne river and floated
away.
In one instance a potato field was
washed so clean that the potatoes
were found on top Of the ground af-
ter the water subsidized.
At LitchviIle the wind was so
heavy that 1t ripped a roof from a
box car, and other damage was done.
A portion Of the Casselton South
western line Of the Northern Pacific
was washed out, and traffic delayed
for several hours.

This frock certainly looks as If the
American designers were. doing
their utmost to help win the war by
conserving material. It may not
be, but it certainly, promises to be
the last degree Of conservation in
d street frock. Although a. great deal
may be said for this gown of little
material it may not become over
popular because Of it's rather try
Ing lines. 1t will. however, appeal
to those patriotic women who, look
we'll in gowns which outline the
figure.
Navy blue serge fashions the frock
Apparently not one extra inch of It
has been used, either. The skirt,
sleeves and bodice are as tight as
possible, and cut on the straightest,
simplest lines. Deep black silk
fringe is used to camoufIage the
scant lines Of the skirt. The cuffs
and neck are embroidered in black
silk and otherwise the frock stands
out in it's unadorned scantiness.
The hat seems to be a very fitting
one for such a gown for 1t has. also
conserved material and looks very
piquant without any brim. It is
made OF navy silk after the fashion
of the tams Of the Blue Devils'' and
is braided IN black silk.
