War Summary
(By The Associated Press>

NSS
Illinois. Wisconsin, Western Penn
sylvania, Virginia and West Virginia
troops have stormed the German
lines east Of the Argonne forest. They
advanced all along the line. especial
ly in the region east Of the forest
where they pushed forward as far as
F1eville.
Many villages back Of the German
lines are reported to be burning. Dis
patches indicate that these fires were
deliberately kindled by the Germans.
They probably are evidence hat the
enemy intends to retire further to-
ward the Kriemhild line which is the
main defensive position west of the
Mouse.
west Of the Argonne, American
troops joined the French in the
Blanc Mont and Medeah farm were
taken n the Allies moved north
ward toward Vauziers, an important
railroad point through which the en-
envy moves his supplies for a wide
section OF the front.
Although the British are reported
to be clear through the Hindenburg
system north and east of st. Quentin,
the Germans ave apparently sue
ceeded in retarding the advance of
Field Marshal Haigs men. Terrific
counter attacks have driven the Brit
ish back slightly at some points but
have not succeeded in materially al
tering the situation. British cavalry
and tanks are said to be operating
in the open country back Of the Ger
man lines but have not been able
to debouch there and bring about
a retreat of the Germans north and
south of LIE Catelet. Fighting in this
sector has been of the most desper-
ate character.
In the Flanders sector ADVANCING
British forces are within six miles
of Lille. 1t is indicated in reports
that the enemy intends to construct
another defensive line further east
n attempt to stem the tide of de-
feat which has set so strongly against
them on the northern front.
Dispatches seem to show that the
enemy abandoning his submarine
bases or the Belgian coast The coast
has been under heavy fire from Brit
ish wsrships for the last few days and
it is said that the exodus of the Ger
Is now under way.
North Of Rheims the French have
moved still further northward and

Batik borders, hand-painted pat
terms and other artistically stenciled
designs have always been seen more
or less on some of the exclusive
models in the high-priced shops:
This year they seem to be more
popular than ever before. Many OF
the individual evening gowns are
bordered in beautiful painted colors
and what is still more whimsical
many tea gowns and negligees en-
ploy these borders in soft paint
shades as their only claim to ele-
gance.
Here, however, the stenciled de-
sign is employed on an afternoon
gown. 1t adds a unique touch to a
gown that is already novel in line
and color. Navy blue charmevse
and chiffon are used to fashion this
artistic and unusual costume. The
stenciled border on the chiffon is
done in lilac and gray. The over
skirt which is long and draped has
an edging of navy blue silk fringe
The cut of the gown is another
feature to be noticed. The coat
style is common enough among
serges, gabardines and other wooden
fabrics, but it is rarely used in the
silks and chiffons~ and other lighter
fabrics which are kept for mere
formal wear. This frock, however,
proves that the coat dress is very
attractive made in the softer. ma
terials.

British forces have been active in
northern Italy and have raided the

Austria is reported to have request

London state that little attention is

Hungary seems to be exerting pres

this connection it has been rumored
recently that the possibility of Hun

DAMAGE TO
St. QUENTIN
NOT GREAT
Germans Destroyed Fac
tories and Places That
Would Help Allies.

Paris. Oct. 5.-All factories and
business houses in st. Quentin which
were likely to compete against Ger
man industries were methodically de-
stroyed by the Germans. Louis
Rtnguier, deputy for st. Quentin, who
made a careful survey Of the city,
found hat beyond the damage to
factories and business houses the
property loss will, not be great and
the normal life Of the city can be
quickly restored. Deputy Ringuier
reports that the magnificent old city
hall is intact. Its belfry was struck
by q few shells but this damage can
be repaired. The basilica, however,
suffered great damage.

Unique Request.

American Red Cross agents who in
v~estigated conditions in the mountain
province of Umbria, italy, with q view
to aiding the families of soldiers had
an experience both interesting and
amusing. Out of a dozen little villages
visited, in which the people were
found to be in comfortable circum-
stances, there was only one request
for aid. The town officials. at one
place, after admitting they had a favor
to ask from the Red Cross. asked
time for further elaboration before
putting in the application. The serious
ness of the officials convinced the Red
Cross workers that the. town was go
ing to ask for a large supply Of ne
cessities. Imagine the surprise of the
latter when the town officials submit
ted this request with great solemnity:
w would like the Red Cross to
give US a donkey and cart. It is to be
used to bring the children living at
some distance from the town to school.
This will enable the mothers Of these
children to do their farm work with
out Interruption"
Needless to say the unique request
was granted by the Red Cross.

shops.

are dependent on the Commission FOL

any description on the market. Every
available substitute has been tried.
For a time old betting from factories
was used and roofing paper, OF which
there happened to be a stock, was re-
sorted to for re-soling shoes. But
the Germans, after having seized all
the leather requisitioned these substi-
tutes also, and soon, not a single yard
of betting was left in any Belgian In
dustrial establishment. :
= Now, the Belgians fasten pieces
of old rugs on to wooden soles and
them for shoes. And they make
