On the Aisne front the present battle recalls fhc fearful fighting of last summer along the Chemin Des Dames. where for weeks the German crown prince hurled his men against the French positions only to sec them crushed and beat- en. Last year 75 divisions were engaged in the German attacks along this line alone.
 The attack here is really in the nature of line straightening op- erations. It is being launched from Laon as n center and is aimed at the elbow in the line formed during the fighting in Pieardy in March and April. Here, however. the Germans must face permanent works which have been occupied by the French for long periods and which can be defended quite easily.
 Evidence that the allied supreme command was fOrewarned of the new German attack may be found in the fact that British troops are fighting there. Up to the present, 1t had been believed that the British forces did not hold posi- tions much south of the Sommc. cast of Amiens.
 The German crown prince is In command in this sector and this may indicate serious effort 10 break the allied line. Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria Is the nominal commander In Artois and Picardy and the German crown prince. for dynastic reasons, will strive to outdo whatever success was attained by his colleague farther north.
 It Is probable that American troops are engaged in the fighting in both the battles on the French front. It is known that American troops are close behind the allied lines in Flanders. while mctimc ago it was reported that they were near Rheims.
 The late official reports note quite severe fighting in various sectors, among them the Apremont

Hard fighting at this hour still con-

Just south of Dicebusch lake the Germans forced their way into the French line for a distance of 500 yards and also got into the front line system at another point in this region In both these places the ens- my was clinging desperately to his newly acquired positions. but the French were dealing with the situa- tion. which appeared to he satisfactory at the latest reports.

 It Is officially reported from Washington thnt American posi- tions In the Picardy sector, neHr Cnntisny and Montdidier have been subjected to attack and that at places the Germans penetrated them. The enemy. however. was driven out by the Americans.
 Almost coincident with the new German assault, the Italians launched . blow against the Aus trian lines in the mountain region to the northwest of Lake Garda. According to reports, they have carried Monticello Pnss. the vil- Iage of Prescna, Monte Zigolon and the mountain spur to the east. Be- fore them lie parallel streams leading down into the LnEarina valley, and. If they successfully carry out their attack there, it Is possible for them to outflank the entire Austrian position in the north of Italy.

climates of France and England. 1t
is cut on simple straight lines, with
skunk collar and cuffs.
One of her most becoming gowns
is of black velvet, cut low and square
both back and front. The skirt is
straight with a short pointed train
The bodice has red tulle draped
across one side and has angel
sleeves, very long and flowing, of
the same colored tulle. She always
carries large fame colored ostrich
fan with that gown. She wore black
almost entirely before her marriage
to the president; she was married i'll
a black gown and affects black most
of the time now. She has another
black gown of chiffon velvet, Sc
verely simple, and one of black net
trimmed with jet and turquoise or
naments.
Evening Gowns Similar.
Almost all of her evening gowns
are cut on the same general lines,
the skirts almost all alike, straight
and with pointed train, and the bod
ices square, softened around the
neck with tulle, the sleeves almost
alwaye tulle, and some sort of
soft belt right at the waist line. She
has an evening gown of gray tat
feta and tulle made on those lines
and a similar white one of satin and
tulle, with bands of opalescents here
and there on the bodice. She varies
in the fans she selects for the gray
and white gowns, sometimes she car
res peacock blue with her white,
or pink; with the gray sometimes a
gray fan and again one of the shade
of the orchids. Generally speaking,
her evening frocks are almost al
ways made on a foundation of black
or white, relieved with a touch of
color. Her slippers and shoes are
carefully chosen in keeping with
her costumes on all occasions.

received by William Elliott, State food
administrator, from Herbert Hoover.
mo statement Of this character has
ever been issued" says Mr.. Hoover,
and the federal food administrator
then states frankly the exact situation
which emphasizes the absolute neces-
sity of even greater conservation OF
wheat than the American people have
yet practiced. For that reason the ap-
peal was recently made to the Ameri-
can people, through the churches, by
MI. Hoover, asking that every one
who possibly can do SO discontinue
eating wheat or wheat products in any
form until the next harvest.
It Is stated In Mr.. Hoover's tSle'
