American cavalry troops recrossed

ed 20 and scattered the remainder in

brought back 25 horses which had
been SO hard ridden that I ~ had to
be abandoned.
In addition to ten bandits known
to have been killed it is believed that
as many more were killed In the pur-
suit and their bodies buried by their
companions.
Three civilians were killed In the
raid, once soldier and ozle civilian
wounded. The civilian wounded was
T. T. Neill, who was shot while de-

Austrian delegates to the Brest-Li-

contingency various strategic points
in Russian territory should be oc-

cording to the rumors it has been
proposed by the representatives of
Germany and Austria that pending
the resumption Of the negotiations
Russia should mediate between the
central powers and the entente al
lies with a view to bringing about a
general peace. Should the attempt
fail. the occupation of the several
strategic points by the central power!
was proposed so that pressure mighl
be brought upon the entente. Ths
proposal, says the correspondent
caused CONSERVATION at the Smolny

The one-piece frock of cloth, for street wear worn with a separate coat when the weather is cold, has run q very close Second to the tailored coat suit for more than q year. And the one-piece afternoon gown of satin, silk or crepe georgette, for dressy wear has Outdistanced everything else, in point of popularity. Both these are shown in immense variety of deSgn and decoration. The two examples pictured above are selected from among many that employ soutache braid or braid effects in their garniture. Both are similar in construction.
 The frock of serge at the right has been developed in other popular Weaves, the straight, long waisted bod ice and plaited skirt being style fea- lures of wide application. In the de- tails of the sleeves, girdle and decorn- tion this model has charms peculiarly its own.

 man of my years. I wanted to join the army and help shoulder the re-
 sponsibility that I felt I was duty bound to do, but after I got in I saw l would have to start in and take
 something that would aid me to ac-
 complish my purpose.
 "Now, this thing of joining the
 army is about the best thing a young fellow can do, but it is real mans work, and secuted around for tonic that would go to the root of all my troubles, which were constipation and
 a poor blood supply, and relieve me of distressing after-meal effects and help
 me to take on little flesh that would enable me to jump in and prove ef- 1icient i'll my new duties. Tt was fortunate that l was ac-
 quainted with one of the representa-
 tives of the Pep Chemical Co.,, and after talking with him he GAVE me a bottle of PEP SYSTEMIC PILLS
 and urged me to try them. Here is what he promised: They will relieve you of constipation, furnish you with
 pure, rich blood, restore nerve energy, provide sweet sleep, and increase your weight from five to twelve pounds. It seems miracle that all o fthis has come to pass and more so, when I gained the maximum weight
 he said was possible to gain.
 q have heartily indorsed Pep Sys- tennic Pills to my friends at the camp
 and now want the public at large to
 know that these Pep Systemic Pills can do the same for them"
