Could there be anything more
thoroughly, utterly masculine than a

Really, there is chic to the tailor

HATS TO BE LARGE

From all reports, large hats, usually
of the sailor shape, are to be good.
Huge bows of ribbon from dark blue
on white to brightest colors on dyed
hats are used. The ribbon is wide
and is wrapped around the crown and
tied i'm huge bow in the back Leg
horn, either natural color or dyed, is
mentioned as being particularly
smart.
From London, with the confirmation
of whisper from Paris, comes the
news that women are fast adopting
the mannish tailored style in street
clothes. Perhaps it is because so many
women are now doing government
work and perhaps it is because they
wish to compliment the soldiers.
At any rate women in London con-
slider this the proper dress for day
time. AS an apparent offset to this
it Is predicted that evening clothes
will be especially feminine in Their
daintiness.
The women of France, with theil
remarkable fortitude, are not neg

They understand that when their mer
come back for their furloughs, they
want to get away from any hint OF
war and like to have their women at

QUEEN OF SHEBA'S
DIAMONDS seized
New York Treasury Agents Take
Possession of Two Egg
Shaped Jewels.
PRINCESS WAS RECENT OWNER

Them.

New York.-Treasury agents have
seized from A. Anpikadjian, resident
of Constantinople, now in this city,
two egg-shaped diamonds Weighing
more than Is karats each, and said to
have been worn centuries ago by the
Queen of Sheba.
The diamonds are said to be of
great value, not only because of their
size and quality, but because Of their
antiquity.
Collector of the Port Dudley Field
Malone directed the seizure of the
jewels, which, it is claimed, Anpikad-
jian failed to declare to the customs
officials when he arrived in the United
States
Upon being questioned after the
seiznre of the diamonds, their owner
said he had purchased them in the
jewelry market at Constantinople
from an Egyptian Princess, who de-
clared they had been in her family
for centuries. and had been worn at
one time by the Queen of Sheba. At
the time of the purchase, he said, the
diamonds were attached to two emer-
aids, about inch square. The emer-
aids and the diamonds formed large
pair or earrings. The emeralds were
purchased by another dealer, he said.
The seizure of the diamonds was
the result of recent activity on the
part Of agents of the Treasury Depart
ment. Collector Malone received in
formation some time ago that num-
ber of dealers in precious stones
had come to this country since the be-
ginning of the war in Europe.
At the resquest of the collector. the
Treasury Department detailed officers
to investigate all foreign dealers who
had arrived in this country and to re-
port upon the conditions In the dia'
mond and jewelry districts in this and
other large cities in the United States.

British and French Begin New
Offensive Between Albert
and Montdidier.
AAIG DIRECTS THE DRIVE
Allies Force Crossing Of the Vesle Riv-
er In Face Of Strong Resistance
Plans for Siberian Expedition
March States American
Army Program.
BY EDWARD w. PlcKARp.

Having thoroughly whipped the
armies Of the German crown prince
and driven them back beyond the
Vesle river, Foch, now a marshal of
France, turned his attention in the
middle of the week to the forces I'M
der the Bavarian crown prince, Rup-
precht. At dawn on Thursday the Brit
ish Fourth army and the French First
army, under command of Field Mar
shall Haig, began an offensive on q
wide front in the region east and south
east Of Amiens. The front under at
tack was about twenty-eight miles in
length, from Albert south to the vicin-
ity of Montdidier.
Within "a hours the allied forces had
penetrated the enemy lines to points
from six to seven miles beyond the start,
had taken more than 10000 prisoners
and great quantities of material and
many guns, and had occupied numerous
towns. Their own losses were remark
ably light. Tanks led the infantry in
the attack and did wonderfully good
work.
Complete success in this offensive
would result in obliterating the Ger
man salient in the Montdidier region
and would imperil the entire Hun line
from Reims to Ypres. The Germans
seem to have anticipated this move
ment by the allies and some days prev
iously withdrew their forces there and
in other sectors to stronger positions.
Progress by the allies here carries
them into the Picardy country which
was ravaged by the Germans in their
retreat Of March, 1917, and again de-
vastated by them when they drove for
ward this year.
The defeated but not disorganized
Huns between Scissors and Reims, as
was predicted. gathered their strength
for a pause in their retreat between
the vesle and the Aisne. Their guns
were brought into play from the plat
eau in that region which commands
the vesle valley. The Germans, in
deed, made strenuous attempts to pre-
vent the French and Americans from
crossing the vesle, especially in the
vicinity of Fismes but numerous rela-
lively small units forced the crossings
and held onto their new positions de-
spite furious counter-attacks. These
operations were mostly between
Braisne and Fismes. Up to the close
Of the week Marshal Foch had not
tried to send any very large forces
across the river, probably waiting I'M
til his artillery could drive the Huns
from the nearer hills to the north.
The Germans were using only medium
caliber guns, which was taken to mean
that their heavier artillery was being
placed north Of the Aisne to defend
that line; for there seemed little doubt
that they would be forced that far
north before very long. Their position
south Of the Aisne was said to,be real
~ untenable though seemingly strong.
At the west end of the line the French
and Americans were steadily pushing
east along the Asne, and at the east

most important railway town in the
heart of the Somme battle front and
key to the southern line of the Ger
man salient has been captured by the
allies. The capture was effected by
Australian and Canadian troops.
Paris, Aug. 1.-THE number Of
prisoners taken so far in the allied
offensive in Picardy is now estimated
at 10000, including more than 1000
officers. More than 500 guns have
been captured, according to latest ad-
vices.
Paris, Aug. 1.-THE French, nd
vancing eastward after their capture
Of Montdidier Saturday noon, ad-
vanced their lines to an average
depth Of six miles on the front ex-
tending from Andechy, seven miles
northeast Of Montdidier, to Elincourt,
ten miles southeast of the captured
city, according to the war Offices
statement issued that night. Many
thousand prisoners have been taken.
French patrols are reported to be
in Chaulnes, the principal railway
center Of the Germans west of the
Somme river.
The Germans are In serious posi-
ton east of 'Montdidier. The allies
have closed in on Chaulnes and have
had the railroad junction south of
that town under artillery fire for three
days. If Chaulnes is lost to the Ger
mans they will be forced to make a
long perilous march eastward over
country roads toward Noyon. The
rapid progress Of the French below
Montdidier has placed even this road
under fire and made it almost impos-
sible us an avenue Of escape for the
harassed enemy.
In the center the Germans are re-
ported to be in full retreat. Allied
airmen have seen roads filled with
German morton lorries and have been
active in bombing these lines of trans
portation. The bridges of the Somme
river south of Peronne are under fire
and the one at Peronne is reported to
have been broken. This will throw
new complications in the German high
commands task of extricating it's
shattered armies from the field.
The number of prisoners captured
during the first three days of the Of
fensive is very large. 1t is limited at
Paris that it exceeds by far the figure
given out in the official statements.
A number Of divisional headquar-
tiers, with their STATS, are said to have
been taken. The guns and war ma
terials lost by the enemy constitute q
very heavy loss.
Since the American forces occupied
Fsmette, the northern suburb of Fis-
mes on the Vesle, there have been no
reports Of further attacks in that re-
gion. It is believed the allies there
are gathering themselves for q new
assault which may have its effect on
the great battle further north.
