One does not feel dismayed at the

short, narrow skirt, so this revolution
will not bring about the fretfulness

Both France and America have de-
cided that light and heavy qualities
of crepe. satin that is heavier than it
has been for two or three decades and
several weaves of plain and printed
crepes are the materials that will
play dominant roles in autumn fash
ions.
Those who are not looking forward
to what they will get in October, but
are badly concerned over what they
will wear in August, when the climate
is more trying to our patience and our
bodies than at any other time during
the year, find that the idea of a crepe
de chine suit makes strong appeal
Coats Lined With Colored Foulard
There is so strong a tendency this
season to abandon the separate blouse
in the name of economy and time saw
ing, that 1t is not unusual to fird all
these new soft coats with brilliant lin
ings. They do not rub against the
skin, or the result would be perilous
but many women who consider the
coat as much a rart of the costume as
the bodice. and therefore not to be re-
moved. wear little. tight-fftting mus
lin slips, high in the neck and long in
the sleeves. They are sold at the
shops in China silk and muslin and are
more useful under a coat suit thar

= The raid was a complete failure,
three German prisoners remaining
in American hands. The ground in

strewn with German dead.
A driving wet snow was falling
when the Germans opened fire on
the American salient with every
weapon at their command. Seventy.

fell in perfect whirlwind on the
American trenches for half an hour.
At the same time other enemy shells
in great numbers were dropping on
the American battery positions.
Much Poisonous Gas.
The Germans, evidently thinking
that the Americans in this section,
having had one taste of gas a few
days ago. would fear 1t now, let loose
great quantities Of poisonous gas,
but the men put on their masks and
only few were affected by It, So
intense was the fire that the woods

pieces.
At 6 o'clock the barrage fire lifted
on the trenches to the right of the
salient and Germans numbering 240
came sweeping forward under the pro.
lection of their fire. They came for.

Third Campaign to Open on Ami
versary Of This Country's
Entry Into War.
AMOUNT NOT YET FIXED
Campaign for Fiotation to Last Three
or Four Weeks-DetajIs Of
Third Loan not Vet
Yet Arranged.

Washington, March 4.-The third
Liberty loan will open April 6, the
first anniversary of the United States
entry into the war. There will be a
campaign of three or four weeks.
In announcing the date Secretary
McAdoo said the amount of the loan,
the interest rate, and other features,
such as convertibility of bonds OF
previous issues, maturity and terms of
payment, are yet to be determined,
and that new regulations will be nee.
essssry before the plans can be com.
plcted.
The fact that the amount Of the
loan is dependent on further legisla.
ton indicates that it will be for more
than s3.6O0,t0o,ooO, the remainder of
authorized but unissued bonds and the
fact that certificates of Indebtedness
now being sold in anticipation of the
loan bear AZ per cent affords some
indication of the interest rate.
McAdoo Issues Statement.
III making the announcement, Sec.
rotary McAdoo said:
Il expect to ask the Congress at
an early date to grant the necessary
additional authority. OF course, the
opening date of the campaign is some
what dependent upon the new legisla-
ton, but it is hoped and believed that
the matter can be considered and de.
termined in ample time to begin the
campaign on the date suggested.
april will forever be a conse.
Grated day in American history and
it seems peculiarly appropriate that
the opening of the second year of
! our participation in this war for the
honor and rights of America and the
freedom OF the worlt should be cele
brated with nationwide drive for
another Liberty loan," he continued.
Should Begin With Demonstration.
1.-THE campaign should begin with
great demonstrations Of patriotism in
every city, town and hamlet in the
country that will truly express the
spirit Of aroused America. On this
date every American should pledge
anew to his government the full meas.
ure Of his resources and resolve to
make every required sacrifice in the
same fervent spirit that impels our
gallant sons in the trenches in France
and on the waters of the Atlantic to
shed their blood in Americas sacred
cause.
"The campaign In all probability
will last three or four weeks, and an.
nouncement of the opening date is
made at this time in accordance with
my promise to make public all mat.
tiers connected with the loan as soon
as determined and in order that ample
time may be given every community
to prepare for the event."
