With the American Army on the
Eesle, Sunday. Aug. 25.-tBy the
associated Fress.) - German SOL
dlerS believe that Germany is not
planning any more offensives be-
cause of the manpower shortage,
according to one of a party of seven
OF German patrol captured by the
Americans early SUNDAY east of
F1smes. The soldier, who was a
former bank employe, and the own
/ er of a Berlin restaurant, said the
soldiers no longer had any enthusi-
asm for war. Most of those with
whom he came in contact believed
the war would end soon.
The prisoner had been fighting
three years and declared he was
thoroughly tired of it. He said the
soldiers understood that the Ger
man losses during the recent allied
offensiyes had been large. These
reports were credited by the SOL
diers and were having a demoraliz-
ing effect. He said he knew of one
! division of $4,000 which had been
reduced to les sthan 900. He did
not know what became of the men.
Plenty of Germans. he added,
would desert and surrender if given
the opportunity. Many of them are
constantly watching for a chance to
give themselves up to the Ameri-
cans. Trouble has been threatened
in the German munition plants and
the army leaders were Tightening 3
conditions there He said the rules
governing munition workers were
more strict now than ever.
Germany, he said, has plenty of
ammunition but the manpower
question and the actual entry OF
American trops into the fighting are
worrying the military leaders.
Captured prisoners say the gen
eral impression among German sol
diers, now that so many powers had
combined against Germany, was
that it was not possible for Ger
many to win.
They believe, however. the en-
tente allies never would be able TO
enter Germany because the Ger
mans had seen too much of the de-
struction in France to permit OF
Germany suffering in similar
manner.
They say they believe there is
ever ydisposition to evacuate Belg-
! ium and northern France and even
negotiate for the retention or evac-
Uation of Alsace-Lorraine.
They are generally unanimous in
agreeing annexation thus far made
and the Brest Litovsk peace treaty
were a great mistake. but think
they cannot withdraw from Russia
in the present condition of affairs
there
They are aware the American
army now has assumed formidable
proportions. and there is a general
I admission of the seriousness of this
| factor.
The submarine campaign they
cannot refer to without gestures OF
impatience.

From Kitchen to Dining Room

There were certain advantages in
the mode of some of our forebears
whose pioneer homes were so built
that the large main room of the house
served both for the general cooking
room and the family dining room.
Such an arrangement was not unusual
a good many hundred years ago. even
in homes that were pretentious. To
be sure, there must have been smoke
and cooking smells about the table
that were not entirly appetizing. but
there certainly was the advantage Of
having a straight and short line be-
tween the place Of preparation of eood
and the place Of its consumption.
In houses of a generation or so ago
this path between kitchen and dining
room was often neither straight nor
short. In old southern plantation
houses the cooking was no, infre-
quently done in small house quite
separated from the main part OF the
house and every dish prepared had to
be carried outdoors and indoor again.
task. and only because servants were
more plentiful could this lack of eff
cheney have been tolerated.
In other sections OF the country the
tendency was very generally 10 DuliQ
houses with basement kitchens. and
this made housekeeping without two
servants on hand to serve the meals
a very awkward thing, for dishes had
to be placed on the dumb waiter,
hauled off and received in the dining
room in short enough order so that
they would not grow cold on the way.
Now, even large and spacious houses
are made with view to having the
kitchen within easy reach OF the din
ing room. In fact, experts In the
planning Of hotel, club and dormitory
kitchens make q special point OF max
ing the line between the dining room
door and the place where the discard
ed dishes are to be washed and where
the service dishes are to be got as
short as possible. In the small house
the so-called buffers pantry may have
advantages, but Of late years many
far-sighted women have preferred to
have no such dividing space between
kitchen and dining room. II the door
of the dining room can be arranged SO
as not to open directly in view of the
kitchen stove and possibly arranged
SO that a ventilating window is close
to the door on the kitchen side, then
there is no need Of the pantry. The
end Of the kitchen nearest this door
should be fitted with table or shelf
where soiled dishes can be deposited
with the fewest possible steps from
the dining room.
But the greatest aid in shortening
the distance from kitchen to dining
room i4 to be-. found n the various
sorts Of service wagons that are more

fashions, therefore, to be consistent.
We are telling the news from day to
day as we know it. 1t is quite useless
to prophesy. 1t is silly to say that
any one fashion dominates. II we tell
you that gowns are buttoned up the
back, and then say that We have gone
back to primitive drapery in which no
fastenings are used. we are not
stumbling awkwardly. We are mere
ly rejecting the fact that one woman
wears one thing while another wears
something else. This should help you
in your own scheme Of seasonable
costumery.
To get down to the bare bone of
news, Lewis, the milliner of Paris, has
exploited for the summer resorts hats
been worn. II women were in danger
Of having papal decree issued
against them for wearing obstructive
fashions, as they did when they dehed
the church and wore the hennin, they
would surely merit it this summer in
these hats.
They certainly could not fight in
close formation. One hat Is equal to
a large sunshade. At first glance,
when it comes into restaurant. one
thinks it needs a table to itself.
Now, to take up the point OF diverse
its sister-in-fashion Is the turban Of
tiny ostrich tips That turban Is not
new. It was sold at an exorbitant
price in February, and for little more
than nothing in June. But the idea
has firm grip with women, and dis
ports itself smartly at all gatherings
of Importance. It has a tulle scarf
pulled about it and wound around the
neck, with one end drawn over the
arm.

1t is pure perverseness to employ a
line of buttons down the back of a
frock. The entire world Of fashion
was stimulating itself to the utmost
to provide new ways with ancient
ideas. It was on the cards that We
would drape ourselves in different

smart woman, made tight bodice to
