LONDON, July 17.-Ameri-
can and French troops counter
attacking on a four mile front
south of Doi.mans, have swept
the Germans back 5000 yards
(nearly two miles), bringing
the enemy bridges across the
river under artillery fire, it was
learned from an authoritative
source this afternoon.
Remaining German positions
south of the river which
marked their farthest advance
toward Paris in the new drive,
have thus been reduced to a
scant and precarious foothold.

WASHINGTON, July 17.-American

the western offensive to strengthen
the allied position in Russia.
The first days reverses inflicted
on the Boche Will be widely adver-

sidered certain to go against the Ger

that the pro-ally group will be heart

1t was said that the American plans
are proceeding along, lines of q pro

is proceeding.

MAKING OF THE YELLOWSTONE
Piateaus, Mountains, Petrified
Trees and Lava.

To comprehend what we have in the
Yellowstone. we must begin with its
making. The entire region is OF vol
canic origin. The mountains around
1t on both sides and the mountains
within 1t are products or remainders
Of great volcanoes OF the far past; and
the great plateaus, from which spring
its geysers and hot springs and through
whose forests now roam so many wild
animals, are composed of the ash and
disintegrated lavas which were once
elected from these volcanoes. OF
course the plains ere now all deep with
$ '. But such evidences of the past as
the black volcanic glass of the Obsidian
Cliff and the fantastic whorled lava
rocks of Mount Washburn are plain to
the least instructed eye.
One particularly fascinating glimpse
OF Yellowstone's tempestuous past is
afforded in the petrified forest Of the
Specimen Ridge neighborhood, where
many levels Of upright petrified trunks
may be found alternating, like the lay
ers In a cake, with levels OF lava
which plainly shows that, after the
first forest grew on the volcanoes slope
/ and was engulfed by a fresh run OF
lava, enough time elapsed for second

New York.-There Is no getting
away from the Paris situation In its
cause and effect upon clothes, asserts
prominent authority.
The nation, like others, has leaned
upon that one city Of the universe for
it's inspiration, guidance and material
and artistic help in the making, selling
and exploiting Of women's apparel.
To have the bond weakened that
connects us with Paris is to have the
feeling that a child has when Its
mother turns it loose and tells it to
walk alone to the nearest chair. There
is in the minds Of the buyers, we i'm
agine, something of the panic that
must come to the young brain when 1t
knows that it must depend upon moth
Ing but its own legs for support In q
wide oasis OF space.
We did not get this feeling when
the war broke, because two or three
thousand gowns were assembled In
public under the sound of the cannon
nearing Compiegne. Even the sub
marine menace did not break the bono
for the succeeding two summers, bui
1t perceptibly weakened after last
season and now we are confronte,
with a situation In this country thai
has grown to strength and importance
in the last few weeks.
The hand Of the government, will

forest to grow upon that level; and
that this, In turn, was engulfed with
new lava to make the level for another
forest, and so on. There Is a cliff 1900
feet high composed wholly of these al
ternate levels Of engulfed forests aLo
the lavas which engulfed them.
In magnificent contrast with the vol
canic plateau and It's border Of volcanic
mountains there rises from the plains,
80 miles south of the park, one of the
most abrupt and stupendous outcrop-
pings Of grahlte in the Western hem
isphere. From the western shore of
Jackson lake the Teton mountains lift
their spired peaks 1000 feet in appa-
rent perpendicular. Many glaciers rest
upon their shoulders. Their climax is
the Grand Teton, whose altitude is 49,
TAT feet.
Thus does the Yellowstone run the
scenic gamut.
Once Jacksons Hole, as this region
| Is still popularity called, was the refuge
| for the hunted desperate of mountain
plain, and city. In the recesses of these
granite monsters he was safe from pur
suit, and the elk herds of the plains
provided him food. But that pictur
esque period of American life has pays
ed with tho warning Indians, who alst
here found temporary safe retreat.

RESIDENT WILSON has en-
L. larged the wonderful Mukuntu-
weap National monument, In
Utah, and changed its name. 1t
Is now known as the Zion National
monument, which is UNNECESSARILY bet
ter from every point Of view.
The old name. besides being hard to
pronounce and remember, was obscure
In origin and was never used except
officially. The new name Is that in
popular use. Besides, 1t. crystallizes
the romantic history of its amazingly
beautiful valley; the surrounding coun-
try was settled by Mormons many
years ago, and this difficult canyon was
chosen as refuge In the event Of
Indian attack, and called Little" Zion
to differentiate If from big" Zion,
which was Salt Lake City. Since then
1t has universally been called Zion
canyon.
The enlargement Of the Zion Nation
al monument follows naturally upon
Its recent thorough exploration and the
discovery of outlying areas Of alto
gether extraordinary scientific interest
and scenic grandeur. That its fantas-
tic cliffs, Its sensational coloring, and
Its romantic conformation Will bring 1t
national popularity as resort is mani
fest destiny. 1t has been called, for
good reasons, 1.-THE little Grand Canyon

Is marked.

Hundreds Of New Fashions.
It may be that under the present
conditions created by our government
and seconded by the French, the news
papers and the fashion illustrators
will become, in the new military term,
liaison officers. They will be able to
interpret from one general to another
speaking different languages.
In the meantime we are all quite
eager about the new American output.
The first touch Of It's sanity is shown
in the fact that materials suitable for
our climate have been chosen for the
summer gowns.
Organdie is too well known to be
more than barely mentioned, but the
fact that it has appeared for evening
gowns is a comfort to many who did
not know what to wear when asked to
dinner on hot summer night.
Another sane thing that the design
ers over here have done which was Of
necessity is to launch gowns In the
materials, whether thin or not, and In
the colors, whether vivid or dull, that
can be easily purchased in any part of
this country.
Each season the yardage In Paris
has grown less. Each season the trans
1 portation has become more difficult
and uncertain. If the American pub
lie accepted gowns of different ma
terial and color from the original.
then the dressmakers over here would
realize profit on their initial expense,
but the French do not always make
gowns TINT can be copied in other
fabrics and colors.
Materials We Will Wear.
AS we have taffeta, America is In

Japanese and Chinese crepes, bro

to be easily obtainable from the Eas

American designers into frocks tina

Sport coats of shantung and tn
. thick, fine weaves of Chinese pongee

signers to substitute sweaters, sati

LABEL.

Once upon a time every wOm-
an shrugged her shoulders at an
American label and asked for
something French. To give her
what she wanted, deception of
the meanest kind was practiced.
A French label was slipped into i.
the gown of an American de-
signer, and often the designer
stood by and saw the gown over
which she had labored for weeks
sold as a product "just from
Paris"
But there Is an immense fight
on, started and vigorously
waged for honesty, pride and
direct purpose In the launching
of new American fashions as
American products.
We are now to have made

are urged to be considerable Of
it, not contemptuous. The pub
lie must be trained to give con-
sideration to the new project,
and a propaganda is to be
spread throughout the continent
that urges such consideration
from every woman who buys
piece of feminine apparel.
There Is no need to be con-
temptuouS, my dear women.
Equally, there is no need to say
! we can do without Paris. But
the new situation Is a healthy
one and 1t must be encouraged.
