They "Go Over the Top"
The Americans worked like football
players, every nerve and every har-
dened muscle straining. The sergeant,
by reason of long practice, was able
to ward off some thruSts with the
point or butt, but from many he had
to jump"
Even more vigor was shown by the
men as they occupied the trench line
and, with their officers, went over the
top in charge. The operations began
by firing from the trench at the dunn
mics in the enemy trenches. Some of
the men made perfect scores, while
only three of the whole class fell be-
low so in a possible 100.
The men went furiously at the
charge, urged on by the most emphatic
language that British sergeant major
might be credited with having at his
command. He shouted to his men
"Give it to 'em-in the heart, in the
throat! That's the way. If you don't
get them they'll get you! On your toes
all the time! Quick Quick Quick y
The urging was unnecessary. The
men knew what to do and did it, and
they were so we'll trained that orders
were anticipated.
The French and British officers were
enthusiastic, especially at the speed
and energy of the Americans. Some
of the graduates will be sent immedi-
ately to newly arrived units as instruc-

WILSON INVITED To
VISIT COLOGNE BY
GERMAN NEWSPAPER

Amsterdam. Sunday, Dec. s.
President Wilson is invited to visit
Cologne by the Volks Zeitung of that
city, which suggests that representa-
tives of the German foreign ministry
meet him there.
The independent republic Of
Schleswig-Holstein will soon be pro-
claimed, according to the Weser lei
tung Of Bremen. This newspaper also
states that sanguinary encounters be-
tween Hussars returning from the
front and Red guards occurred at
Brunswick on December 5. Finding
a deputation of Red guards and mem
bers of the soldiers and workmen's
council drawn up to welcome his men,
the, commander of the Hussars or
dered that fire be opened on the
crowd. His e. obeycd and the Red
guards replied to the fire. The mob
tore the Hussars from their horses,
disarmed them and forced them to
march behind the red flag into tho
city.

BIZ ELOISE.

The scarf and cap sets or little
shoulder capes are the smartest
novelties of the season. The girl who
walks a great deal or skates will be
sure to want such a set to wear with
her tweed walking suit. The scarfs
are no longer confined to knitted yarn
for the material. but such fabrics as
fine felts, silk duvetyns. soft wool
velours and many fabrics which
initiate fur as we'll as silk velours OF
pile fabrics of all kinds are USED.
The colors range from black to
brilliant Roman stripes. The black
is usually livened up with a bright
colored stripe or two and the wildly
colored ones are usually plain and
form the needed bit of color for the
somber brown or blue winter suit.
Scotch plaids are being used by some
maids with a preference being shown
for those with red backgrounds.
Pictured are three jaunty little sets
which would make ideal Christmas
gifts for the outdoor girl. The at
the right above, is made of a rose
colored basket weave cloth. The cap
has bands of fringe made of the ma
terial surrounding it and a crocheted
rose of cotton chenille is placed at the
side for trimming. The edges of the
scarf are briar stitched and the long
