London, Sept. t4.--Twelve thou
sand prisoners have been taken by the
Americans In their offensive at St.
Mihiel. The entire salient now has
been captured.
The railway from Verdun to Com
mercy, Tout and Nancy is open to the
entente allies.
All the villages in the ST. Mihicl
salient we're captured by the Ameri.
cans and the front in this sector was
reduced from some 40 miles to a little
under 20 miles.
The latest news from the ST.. Mihlel
sector shows that the battle line now
runs directly from Pagny on the Mo-
seIIe river to Nationwide and along the
foot OF the heights Of the Meuse.
Pauny, a town on the MoseIle river,
is on the western border Of Germany.
In addition to the 10000 prisoners
who have been counted, large num-
bers OF Germans are still coming in.
Most Of the villages captured by
were left in good condition by the
Germans. The town Of ST. Mihiel was
practically unchanged. The Germane
left the railroad from Verdun to Com
mercy. Toui and Nancy intact, and this
road Will prove great help to the
entente allies.
Another valuable line Of rail from
Thsiucourt TO ST. MiheI by which the
Germans fed their troops In the salient
was also left intact. The operation Of
the Americans must be regarded as a
big local success. All the detectives

Work bags that will serve for
knitting as well as other kinds Of

Some time before the days Of mid
summer have really arrived, merchants
assemble stocks of silk street suits,
ready to be presented when the first
hot day comes. These midsummer
suits are almost untrimmed, but are
carefully designed and distinguished
by smart style-touches and niceties of
finish that place them close to the
formal suit class. Clever women
sometimes take their graceful but
plain suits and tone them up with a
little effective hand work, but even
without that, they are equal to almost
any demand.
There are many pretty suits Of heavy
tafetas and Of gros-de-londre in the
displays. One of the new taffeta suits
Is shown In the picture and 1t could
hardly be simpler or palmer, but It is
remarkably good style. The coat opens
to the bust line, differing from earlier
styles which were open tc, the waist

q little dip in front, all very crisp
and spirited. Flat, white pearl but

tons fasten 1t. They invite the addi-
ton of a white pique vestee and COL
lar and white cuffs. Altogether they
make this suit irresistibly cool look
Ing, and that is the charm of charms
In midsummer. White pumps and
stockings might be worn with IL to
the best advantage.
Among these new silk suits there Is
one having coat with three flounces
set In across the back that is very
pretty. 1t has narrow pockets set on
at each side with rows of small but
tons, and a belt of the silk. These
belts, in many silk suits, extend around
the waist in the most STRAIGHTFORWARD
and matter-of-fact manner, which is
another point of departure from
style In cloth suits. The most popular
colors are navy, taupe and black, but
light colors, as sand gray or white
have a daintiness that compensates
for their being shorter lived.

GHOST IS ONLY FUGITIVE
Patient GETS Out Of Hospital and Runs
Two Miles Clad In
Sheet.

Shamokin, Pa.-Rushed to the state
hospital after he had been catapulted
through the windshield Of an automo-
bile when front wheel flew Off and
the car swept into a fence, Edgar
Stokes recovered from shock and
asked to be discharged. The surgeons
believed him delirious as result of
the accident and placed him in a ward.
Refused his clothing by an orderly,
Stokes picked up sheet, leaped from
a window, wrapped the sheet about
himself and started barefooted by
night toward this city, two miles from
the hospital.
Along the Pennsylvania railroad the
ghostlike figure put the track walkers,
night trainmen and others to flight
and started a rumor that spread like
wildfire of the appearance of a ghost.
Reaching the outskirts of the town,
Stokes borrowed an overcoat from a
trainmar, proceeded to his home and
despite many bruises and decorations
reported for work In the morning.

VirOla, an eighteen-year-Old Porto

been sunk off the Atlantic coast by
a German submarine, she flOated on

Miss Virola, who arrived in New

is being cared for along with other
survivors of the Sunken ship, told
how the vessel had been but a few
days out from Porto Rico when the
passengers were summoned to the
deck by a gunShot across the bow. A
submarine was near by and the Ger

would be given half an hour to escape.

There is nothing fox II but to knit
and knit and then knit some more
and carry on. She who does not must
be forever explaining why not. It's
an obligation and all that we have to
show that our hearts are in the right
place are knitting needles, knitting
bags and such things.
The four hundredth pair of socks
may prove just little mOnotOnOus,
but there are new knitting bags to
add the spice of variety to our daily
lives. AT the ribbon counters they
are showing some immensely clever
ones along with other work bags and
"catch-allS." Those who spend their
time thinking of new things in bags
have grown to be such adopts that
life at the ribbon counter promises
to become one continual round of
joyous new bags-from now until the
end of the year. Then-unless the
war is over-they will begin all over
again with 1919 knitting bags.
A new arrival that charms every
one is a knitting bag that looks like
little umbrella. 1t is made of silk
or strips of ribbon, sewed together
and cut into a circle. The circle is
cut out in six scallops at the circum-
ference and the points of these seal
lops are sewed to the ends of the
narrow strip that forms the handle
three scallops at each end of the
strip. Then the handle is slipped
through a small slide made Of the
