p. H. Ruppel family received sum
mons from the college stating that

tribute follows:
This is not q mans war, but Gods
war and today He presides over the
movement of the mighty forces which
have been projected into the awful
struggle.
The United States was reluctant to
take part. 1t did not understand why
a nation apparently remote from the
scene should take an active part at the
great sacrifice required. Man propos-

strated to mathematical certainty,
as time unfolded the momentous issues
involved, not to one nation but to the
people of the entire world.

Germany has had in mind the idea of
world domination. Many years have
been spent in preparation for the car

remarkable part of it all Is that the
wisest of the earth had no thought of
the awful danger that brO0ded over
the world. Not even when the storm
broke did there come at once full real

METALLIC CLOTH IS PASSE
There Is No Widespread Use Of the
Material, Writes Leading FASH
ion Correspondent.

One cannot get away from the me-
tallic effect that grows in clothes as
the season develops. 1t is frequently
used where it is most garish and
should be avoided. but that depends
upon the person.
There is no widespread use Of me-
tallic cloth. Gowns of it are cOnspic
uOusly out instead Of in. says fash
ion writer. Here and there cele-
brated French designer uses Il bit Of
dull, furnished cloth as Il foundation
for some sombre. transparent fabric.
but this is not often repeated.
Where we get our CLINT of metal
throughout all the women's clothes, IS
in the embroidery, and now and again,
in buttons. This is one of the mill
tary touches that seems to be permits
sible. When velOurs Is trimmed with
gold or silver braid, the effect is good.
because the metal sinks into the pile of
the fabric and does not proclaim itself
60 boldly as on a flat, smooth surface.
