HEADQUARTERS OF U. S.
FIGHTING ARMIES IN
CONSTANT MOVE AHEAD

With the American Army in
France, Aug. 8. Correspondence of
The Associated Press)-The head
quarters of the units of the Amer
lean army in the Marne sector had
to hustle to keep up with the Amer
lean troops in the fighting when the
Germans were hurled out OF that
salient and across the Vesle River.
In keeping contact with the enc
my the American headquarters
moved from one shell-torn village
to another. In most instances, the
buildings or parts OF buildings, had
been occupied by German officers
only day or two before.
Previous to moving from one town
to another, telephone wires had been
strung. so that, while the divisional
officers were in the actual process
of moving, the two headquarters in
the two villages were in communi-
cation with each other until the
task was completed.
After the telephone, and possibly
telegraph instruments, had been in
stalled. the commanding officer
would go forward to the advanced
station with a few assistants and
then others would follow in relays,
each department bringing its books
and papers, maps and other access
ories OF its particular branch. Trans
portation was by automobile and
was only a minor incident OF the
moving. In one instance the entire
transfer OF divisional headquar-
tiers was accomplished in less than
three hours, the telephone connec-
ton having been accomplished the
day previous.
In the case of corps headquar-
ters the commanding officer moved
itno new quarters one morning,
while soldiers were repairing the
roof damaged two days before by a
German shell. Telephones in work
ing order with the village to the
rear from which the corps was NOV
ing, awaited the commanding officer
when he arrived. Soon afterward Of
fcers and field clerks with cases OF
documents and papers OF the differ
ent departments began to arrive and
before noon the corps was working
as smoothly as it had been the night
before fifteen or twenty miles away,
and without having been out of
communication with any of its units
even for second.
In addition to the telephone and
telegraph the wireless apparatus had
been set up, carrier pigeons were

THE GREAT HOPE.

As long as they are buoyed by that

"OF OLD THE GOOD SHIPS
THUNDERED"
By Ellis Parker Butler
OF The Vigilantes

OF old the good ships thundered
Upon the mighty main;
Brave ships they fought and blum
dered,
And sank, or fought again
OF old the gallant seamen
They fought both hard and fair,
For men then fought like freemen
And death went share and share
Of old the sea was gloried
By heroes of the wave,
BY captains sung and storied,
By valiant men and brave.
Now is that glory tainted
That honor all undone;
Assassins, bloody-painted,
Sneak snake-like with the Hun.
Now murderers, deep-hidden,
Kill women in the night,
And pirates, kaiser -bidden,
Slay where they dare not fight.
o Seal! so great in story;
Destroy the brood obscene
Bring back your ancient glory!
And make your bosom clean!
O Seamen! would you punish?
This verdict then be thine?
No pirate keel or Hunnish
Shall henceforth touch the brine
o Allies! ere you sever
In this just oath agree;
No German ship shall ever
Again pollutc the sea.

Now comes a clever millinery de-

if the flowers are really there or not.
So she has put out some charming

advantage about these flowers aside
from the fact that they can be fash

Drapery Is Well Managed in silk.
There is no desire on the part Of the
designers to make the new silk frocks
for autumn on severe, mediaevaI lines.
There is a bit of drapery, some pleat-
ing, and a few broad tucks to give
grace TO a fabric that does not look
well when it is cut out like steel. The
new silhouette allows several kinds of
drapery manipulation, and the silk
gowns of the, autumn show the in
genuity of the dressmakers in making
the silk in graceful folds, while they
keep the silhouette in an attenuated
line.
The sketch shows a frock of soft
silk, in golden brown with a white
stripe The bodice is slim, with an
Italian decolletage outlined with white.
The sleeves are slightly full and caught
into a tight cuff over which the
wrinkled gloves are pulIed-it is more
fashionable to wear your glove, as
your blouse, on the outside instead of
the inside. The skirt of the frock has
side pleats which are tucked under, to
give the Zouave effect at the hem, and
four huge tucks run across the front
and back of the> figure, to disappear
under the pleats which drop down the
sides.
