The Kind of Shoes
She Loves to Wear

With each succeeding mode Of fashion her prefer
-ence for La France Shoes has been accentuated.
She knows that this reputable footwear represents
the best in leading style
without sacrificing any of those fundamental fea
lures of permanent comfort and serviceability so
effectively combined by the master makers.

Keeping Up Appearances and Saving
Shoe Lrnthrr.

AS you bend the .wiy so grows the
tree" is an old saying, and 4 very true
one we all admit
Ncatncss in childhood is virtue
which in after years will be an asset,
and unless nurscd and developed in
the children of today they will be
just that much worse off in after life.
The progressive mother today has
the child drilled in ncatncss through
a play system For instance. each
night at bed time. when the little
shoes arc unbuttoncd they are taught
to play soldier" with their shoes and
stand them at "Attcntion on guard
the shoes being placed neatly to the
side OF the room. jus where they can
be found in the morning.
This habit ncatncss can be
further cXtcnde % the shining Of the
shoes, gaining thereby indirectly a
saving in shoe leather, as good shoe
polish will greatly improve the ap-
pcarancc Of the shoes and at the same
time its habitual use will preserve and
protect the leather.
Teach the children to keep their
shoes nCat.-EX.

WASHINGTON, Sept. -. The crea-
hon OF separate department Of aero
nautics, with Cabinet officer at its
head. as recommended by the Senate
Military SuV- Committee on Aviation,
is opposed by the War Department. In
q letter to- day sent to Chairman Cham
berlain of the Military Committee. Act
ing Secretary Crowel declined to
indrose the pending bill for that pur-
pose. and expressed the opinion that
the measure is wrong N principle.
AS far as tire War Department is
concerned" said Secretary CrowelI,
"the organization of department of
aeronauticS, separate and distinct from
the War Department and containing
military activities not under control
of the Secretary of War, is believed
to be essentially wrong in principle.
"The President has nominated and
the Senate has confirmed the appoint
ment of Secretary John ID. Ryan as
Assistant Secretary cf War. who is
Director of Air Service for the War
Department. BY placing IN his hands.
under the supervision OF the Secretary
Of War and the President, complete

Brutality Marked
Germany's S Rule of
African Colonies
Treaties With Natives
Treated as Mere "Scraps
of Paper"

LONDON, Sept. 12.--A report con-
tanning evidences of the brutal methods
employed by Germany in the admin
istration of her colonies in Africa,
made public to-day by Edmond H. L..
Gorges, Acting Secretary of the In
terior. Union of South Africa, con-
stitutes the British governments reply
to the statement of DR.. w S. Sof, the
German Secretary of State for the Col
onies, that Germany would demand the
return of her colonies at the peace con-
ference.
The report constitutes an indictment
of German fitness to rule the black
native Of Africa. The evidence upon
which the report is based is taken
from official German documents at
Windhoek. from sworn statements bv
native chiefs and by Europeans ia
miilar with the country and from the
writings of Governor Leutwein, who
neld once from 1894 to 1905; Dr.. Paul
Rohroack, Dr.. Karl Dove and others
4AItoGether, the report refutes in de.
tai Dr. Solfs recent claim that Ger
"''|'S PiS-NdI humane treatment OF
the native races won for her the moral
right to be great colonial power"
In view of this claim, the following
statement by Acting Secretary Gorges
is interesting:
The native opinion here is unani-
mously against any idea of their ever
being handed back to the tender mer-
cies of Germany. Any suggestion of
the possibility of an act of this kind
on the part of Great Britain produces
the utmost CONSERVATION"
The report shows that the first
twenty-five years of German rule in
Southwest Africa was an unbroken
record of official bad faith, private
oppression, cruelty, barbarties and
robberles, eliminating in the Herero
and Hottentot rebellions. During the
flrst seventeen years there was no law
Tor the natives.
When the Germans first arrived. saws
the report. they entered into agree
ments with the native chiefs, but these
became scraps Of paper and the ma
tlves were fraudulently deprived of
their best land. Traders and settlers
robbed them of their cattle, which was
their only wealth, and the law sub
sequently prevented the natives from
possessing large herds of stocks The
natives were thus driven to work at
rldlcuously inadequate wages, and often
were never paid. They were treated
ike slaves, and their women folk were
habltually maltreated by the Germans
who took them into forced concubin-

Three Photos With

Conrad Seller Listed as
Wounded, but Comrade
Writes He's Dead

Three photographs, Jagged hole
through them and one stained with
blood gave mute evidence OF the part
their owner had played in the recent
fighting at the Marine and beyond. The
pictures were taken from the breast
pocket of Private Conrad Seller. Of 1875
Webster Avenue, Jersey City, to-day
reported by the War Department as
having been severely wounded in ac-
ton. They were sent to his parents
by soldier who had been with him
0hen ne was har..
Although the War Departments tcle-
gram said Private Seller had only been
wounded, the letter accompanying the
pictures stated he had died at hos
pital on August 10. His parents have
asked the War Department for further
information regarding their son.
The greatest regret Of Mrs. Agnes
Hurley, of 319 Chauncey Street, Brook
lyn, whose son, Private Thomas B
Hurley, is reported az having been
Killed IN action, is that she cannot go
herself to avonge him. In a letter he
wrote his mother a short time before
ne was killed. Private Hurley told Of
an engagement in which his machine
gun crew had accounted for a nun be +
Of the Boche.
Private James O'Hara, killed in ac-
ton, was the son Of Police Sergeant
John j. O'Hara, Of the Snyder Avenue
precinct. A requiem mass will be said

and Sterling Place, this morning for
the dead soldier.
Lieutenant John J. Redfield. Of Mont
clair, n. j., who has been missing since
August p, when his aeroplane fell be-
hind the German lines after fight
with three Hun planes, is believed to
have been killed by the fall. The
American Red Cross at Washington has
notified Lieutenant Redtields father.
Major Herman J. Redfcld, of the Mont
clar Battalion, New Jersey Guard, that
Information in its possession makes it
seem certain that the young flyer was
killed. Two days before he failed to
return to his own lines Lieutenant Red
field brought down three German
planes within their own lines. All
were completely destroyed
