There Is really an endless uSsOrt-
ment Of blouses all ready for women
who look to the blouse more than ever
to provide them variety in their mp
parel. Since we may not have so
many frOcks, what with the scarcity
Of wool and labor and everything, we
must turn to the blouses made Of cot
tons or those Of silk TO add the spice
Of variety to skirts and suits that are
serving overtime.
Blouses are of two characters
those that are moderate In prlce-any-
where from about three dollars to
eight or ten-and those that employ
lavish or difficult handwork that
brings their value up to two or three
times the outside price Of those in the
other class. It seems inconsistent to
talk Of wartime economy In the same
breath with these extravagantly priced
affairs, but 1t Is not always so; some
OF them are remarkably durable. The
blouses that most women will buy.
however. are the moderately priced
models that are new and smart In de-
sign. French voile, fine batiste and
geoYgette crepe are the materials to
select-no matter what the prlce-for
1t Is not In the materials but In the
laces and other decorative features
that take much time to make. that the
high value lies. Women who know
how to do exquisite needlework have
the advantage because they can do
this exacting handwork for themselves.
Fine organdle Is another material that
helps solve the problem Of dainty
blouses at moderate prices.
Georgette remains a great fnvorite
and The two new models shown In the
picture for fan are OF this delicate
and beautiful material They are
among the considerable number that

Al 0:i5 that night we reported to the

instructions from Old Pepper.
After reaching this dugout we lined
up IN semiclrcle around him, and he
addressed us ns follows:
"All l want you boys to do Is to go

Other Parts of West Front
Bitterly Contest Every Foot
of Ground With Americans

WASHINGTON. Oct. 21.-Germany IS
drawing heavily upon other parts Of the
western front for achievements to
check the Americans north of Nerdun.
General Pershing's cOmmunique for sun
day says during the heavy fighting OF
the past week a constantly increasing
number OF German divisions have been
brought up and are bitterly contesting
every foot of ground.
The communiQue follows:
West of the Mouse our troops have
continued their pressure on the enemy.
East of Bantheville in the course Of 10
cal fighting in the Bots des Rappes they
captured over 100 prisoners. On the en-
tire front north of Verdun there has
been heavy artillery and machine gun
fire. Several counter attacks have
teen thrown back with heavy losses
to the enemy.
During the heavy fighting of the

AMERICAN AIRNEN BEGIN
SYSTEM OF NIGHT PATROL

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
NORTHWEST OF VERDUN, Sunday,
oct 2O.-(By the Associated Press.) =
American aviators. by inaugurating
night patrols along the Mouse, have at
tracted much attention among the air
men of other nations. Under the pres
ent plan the air forces are always sub
ject to call from the front, where OBJ
servers or listeners report by wire
when the motor of German airplane is
heard approaching the American lines.
As soon as such report Is received
the American searchlights begin sweep
ing the sky. The American night pa
trolls arrive at the same time. In event
the German machine is located by the
ray OF a searchlight the American ma
chimes attack until the enemy is downed
or makes his escape.
on Friday night when the system was
inauguratcd, five aviators started seek
ing any German machine that might be
about. When an American searchllght
picks up an American machine, a pre-
arranged signal is given, eliminating
danger that the American might be shot
down by his own men. When the air
men are aloft their airdromes are brill
liantly lighted so that they may return
without trouble.

that these orders will reach every

As a fundamental condition for
peace the president prescribes the
destruction of every arbitrary pow
er that can separately, secretly and
Of it's own single choice disturb the
peace of the world. To this the Ger
man government replies:
Hitherto the representation of the
people in the German empire has
not been endowed with an influence
on the formation of the govern
ment-
The constitution did not provide
for a concurrence of representation
of the people in decisions of peace
and war. These conditions have just
now undergone fundamental
change. A new government has
been formed in complete accord
anCe with the wishes (principle?)
of the representation of the people,
based on equal, universal, secret
direct franchise"
The leaders of the great parties of
the reiChStag are members of this
government. In the future no gov
eminent can take or continue in Of
flee without possessing the conf
dence of a majority of the reich
stag
The responsibility of the chan
cellor of the empire TO the repre-
Sentation of the people is being
legally developed and safeguarded.
The first act of the new govern
ment has been to lay before the
Stitution of the empire so that the
the people is required for decisions
on war and peace.
The permanence of the new SyS-
tenn is, however, guaranteed not
only by constitutional safeguards,
but also by the unshakeable deter
mination of the German people
whose vast majority stands behind
these reforms and demand their
energetic continuance.
The question of the president
with whom he and the govern
ments associated against Germany
are dealing-is, therefore, answered
in a clear unequivocal manner by
the statement that the offer of
peace and an armistice has come
from a government which is free
from any arbitrary and irresponsi-
BILE influence, is supported by the
approval of an overwhelming ma
jority of the German people.

LONDON, Oct. 21.-The text of
the German note. as received by
wireless, is as follows;
In accepting the proposal for an
evacuation of occupied territories
the German government has started
from the assumption that the proce-
dure of this evacuation and of the
conditions Of an armistice should be
left to the military advisers and
that the actual standard of power
on both sides in the field has to form
the basis for arrangements safe
guarding and guaranteeing this
standard.
The German government sug-
-ests to the president that an oppor-
tunity should be brought about for
fixing the details. 1t trusts that the
president of the United States will
approve of no demand which would
he irreconcilable with the honor OF
the German people and with open
ing a way to peace Of justice"
The German government pro-
tests against the reproach Of illeg-
al and inhumane actions made
against the German land and sea
forces and thereby against the Ger
man people. For the covering of
retreat distinctions will always be
necessary and they are carried out
in so far as is permitted by interna-
tional law. The German troops are
under most strict instructions to
spare private property and to exer-
else care for the population to the
best of their ability. Rherc trans
gressions occur in spite of these
instructions the guilty are being
punished.

denies that the German navy in
sinking ships has ever purposely
destroyed lifeboats with their pas
sengers. The German government
proposes with regard to ali those
charges that the fs.cts be cleared

might hamper the work of peace,

Nominations for these promotions are

General BUllard is a brigadier.
When General Liggett arrived in
France General Pershing was at WORK
on the formation of the First army

Ianta'S Total Is S16,OOO,OOO

There is every indication that the
sixth federal reserve district, of which
Atlanta is the center. will go $4,000 900
beyond its quota of S1S2, 100000 in the
fourth Liberty Loan.
Before noon Sunday the returns
showed a total Of S217,O0O,0 600, and were
still coming in. 1t probably will be
Tuesday before the last one is counted.
w. G. Wardlaw, chairman of the loan for
the district, confidently expects the final
grand total to reach S25, 100000 in ex-
cess of the quota.
Every state in the district is well
over it's quota, these states being Geor-
gia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and
portions of Louisiana and Tennessee.
On account of the prevailing epidemic
of Spanish influenza it was Impossible
to organize intensive campaign work in
some counties in the district on TINS
account a number OF counties did not
reach their quotas. But the others. more
than made up for them.
In the state of Georgia, it is believed
that fully 95 per cent of the counties
went over the top. Final reports may
increase this percentage.
Atlantas total subscriptions are con-
servatively estimated at Sl6'OoO,OOo
which is nearly .S2,00O,OoO over the city =
quota of $l4.190,000. A shoal of new
subscriptions rolled in Saturday the las
day of the drive, helping to swell the
total. 1t would not be. surprising states

total should go even beyond Sl6,0QOuOO
