thing In the American league that
WeeghmaR is attempting in the Ma

German Method of Buslness.
The German method of doing bu.i-
ness IN Colombia differs from tne
American In three important respScts.
Many OF them have undoubtedly been
subsidized by the imperial German
government or by the big German
shipping lines, and the start they GET
in this way enabled them to get arm.
IT, on their feet in many branches OF
local business to the extent that even
since the beginning of the war they
hsve been able to continue In business
without going into bankruptcy. The
German policy also is to acquire land
In fee simple rather than In the shape
OF revocable concessions, which In OF
ten the American method. The Ger
mans often acquire these titles
through the medium of native Coiou1-
bian agents.
The third difference consists in the
well established policy OF cuftivatfng
social ties with the Colombian people,
especially by sntermarriage.
These German merchants In Co
iomhia have lost no time In .aggra-
waiting the disappointment of the CO.
lombian people In the matter of the
canal treaty. They subsidize local
newspapers to conduct anti-American
propaganda. pay native writers to
write hostile articles. and even to cir
cuiate private letters, and they make
extravagaut promises Of what Ger
man capital will do for Colombia In
the event of German victory.

STATEMENT FROM M. l.. DAVEY

Very naturally I feel a sense of
deep gratitude for the magnificent
support given me in the primary cleo
ton. But I cannot, and do not, look
upon it so much as personal triumph.
This is momentous period for our
country and great principles are in
volved. The thought of every real
American is concentrated on the sue
cessful conduct of this struggle for
world freedom, and his heart throbs
with the confident hope Of a victorious
peace that will forever quell the war
mad spirit and permit all peoples to
work out the processes Of civilization
unhampered by the constant threat Of
war.
President Wilson has led the Ameri-
can people in a most wonderful way.
He has injected into this stupendous
conflict the highest and finest mo-
tives for which men have ever fought.
The people of the world accept his
leadership as a fitting expression Of
righteous principles in international
relations, and every American loves
and reveres his country more for the
high and inspiring plane upon which
the president leads us. ~
I feel that this nomination at the
hands Of my Democratic co-workers
places upon me very great and sol
emn obligation. It requires Of me q
campaign of high purpose looking
toward the election. It involves the
loyal and sincers support of Presi-
cent Wilson in the principles which
he has voiced for us to the world. II
demands of me, if elected, a genuine
devotion to America and her policy
which is impersonal and concentrated
and which is national rather than in
dividual or sectional.
For the fulfllment of this purpose
shall without doubt have the loya
support of every Democrat who is al
American and who is devoted to tn,
president and his ideals. My appeal
however, will not be narrowly par
tisan because in these great days part.
lines are shattered, and all eyes ar
fixed on the supreme issue of on
hundred percent Americanism, and thl
lines will be drawn on the basis Of ou
country's present welfare and futur'
safety.

Fashion Whispers Hints Of .Autums Modes

When the trying hot days Of August
have passed and the sheer frocks of
organdie and voile have served their
purpose of keeping many cool during
the intense heat, and although they
are still appreciated for their admir-
able effort, they are given second place
in the thoughts of their owners and
they gracefully abdicate their lofty
position in favor of the new fall
styles.

Panels a FavOrite Feature

0NCl0 q AoNoAAtN n SoSWAS
Never have women considered their
clothes from the angle from which
they now scan their wardrobe. As
most are doing war work, many pre-
war non-essentials such as conserva-
ton, practicabiity and cost are now
dominant factors in the determina-
tion of the extent and quality Of ones
wearing apparel.
Another Conservation Measure
A wise person once said, "There is
always a way" and Dame Fashion
found it by combining materials of
silk with wool to reduce the quantity
of the latter, in dress, to its mini
num- And promptly to the rescue
came the loose-fowing panels which
are developed in woolen material,
with the greater part Of the dress, the
waist, skirt, and sleeves developed in
some silk or satin fabric. And, in
deed, those panels are quite the most
graceful feature sanctioned by fash
ion. They tend to give long, slender
lines to those who have not that ten
dency in their figures; in short they
are an ideal camouflage. The dress
illustrated is developed in navy blue
serge with black satin; combination
of high esteem in the prevailing die
tates of la mode.

Simple Coiffures

Oh, the joy of a season of straight,
smooth, hair dressing! The woman
who is not endowed with curly locks
appreciates it TO the Utmost sefss
are the woes Of curl papers and hot
irons. She may now arrange her hair
without the slightest difficulty and al
ways look well. Only those who can
not possibly wear their hair other
than waved should cling to the cos
tune. High coiffures are favored and
the loose pompadour is appearing
again. The uncovering of the ears is
an excellent opportunity to display
attractive earrings. The shops are
showing some very odd and clever de-
signs and stones unheard of before are
making their appearance.

smartest women in Paris feel In
creasingly at home in this graceful
adoption Of the long, narrow, taper
ing silhouette. Lucille is showing an
exceptionally good-looking after
noon dress in gray and red brown
marquisette, with a collar and vest
Of white organdie, and the skirt is
draped up tight on the left side. The
peg-top is another phase of the draped
skirt which is being shown extensively
Just now. This particular style seems
to have a saucy individuality about il
which sort of solicits then defies your
attention. Somehow one must be
piquant to wear it. A pleated panel
Of contrasting material at the front
of the skirt trims the peg-top dress
illustrated, which is developed in satin
and Georgette.
An indispensable Comfort
When women found themselves work
ing in canteens and standing the most
part of the day, they Immediately
came to the conclusion that high
French heels were not the last WORD
in comfort. So they wrapped up
their pride completely in their wiser
Judgment, and betook upon themselves
the low military heels. These were
found so comfortable and desirable
that their adoption was instantly anG

proven that one sees them exclusively
for street wear and even with after
noon dresses, with high heels making
their appearance only at some particu-
lar occasion.

Arouses Controversy.
This has aroused a violent contro-
versy in Germany.
One young woman at Lauwitz hang
ed herself because OF the discovery
Of her relations with a French pris-
oner OF war. with whom she had
fallen in love.
Girls who have become intimate
with prisoners of war are being sent
to prison for terms ranging from one
to seven years.
Others, including several maids of
noble birth. have been sentenced 10
short terms in jail for merely Civ
ing the captives candy or cigarettes
These sentences have met. with open
protests.
"Sheer Nonsense"
The most outspoken comes from the
Mannheim Volksstimme, which says:
Unless Germany secures fresh and
healthy blood. her decay Is certain.
Our prisoners of war are no less
healthy and sound than ourselves.
rs 1t feared that our people may
deteriorate through admixture of
French and English blood? Sheer
nonsense!
