Great strides have been made In our
country in weaving and coloring mate
rails, since the war has thrown US on
our own resources. And among the
novelties that demonstrate how sue
cessfully cotton has been turned into
lovely dress fabrics, there is the new
cotton foulard. 1t. is very light and
supple, has pretty sheen, and Is
printed in the same smart and striking
patterns as silk foulard. Two dresses
are shown above, one Of silk foulard
and crepe georgette and the other OF
cotton foulard, figured and plain, With
sleeves of georgette. The cotton dress
Is in every way match for its SILK
rival.
The dress at the left combines geor-
gette crepe In a warm tan color, with
foulard in the same color, covered with
q lacelike pattern in white. Whether
the background is printed In on the
foulard, or the figured pattern Is
bleached out, the fern leaf and flower
motif that covers the surface lis very
delicate and beautiful. In the skirt
the foulard is set on over the georgette
crepe but in the bodice the order is re-
versed. There is short plain bodice
of the silk with an overbodice OF crepe.
This has short kimono sleeves length
ened by broad band of foulard and
finished with shaped flounce Of crepe.
In the cotton frock low-necked slip
Of dark blue foulard serves as q
foundation for a sleeveless overdress
Of the figured material In blue and
white. The sleeves are Of georgette

among them the luxurious affairs that
used to flourish In pre-war times.
There appears to be less variety than

enough; the fad for hat and parasol to
match helping out In this regard. By
the very simple expedient OF adding
"A border Of ribbon or silk, matching

TO have FIVE u. s.
ARMIES In FRANCE
ANNOUNCEMENT MADE BY GEN.
ERAL MARCH TO COMMITTEE
GREATER PART TO FRANCE.

Washington. - Five fully equipped
American armies in Europe is the as
tonishing prospect disclosed to the
House military committee by Gen.
March, CHIEF of the United States
army staff.
The greater part of these armies
will go to France, but 1t is pointed
out at the War Department that If
Austria, Turkey and Germany should
determine to die in the trenches, some
of the American field armies will be
found on the Italo-Austrian and the
Macedonian front.
Secretary of War Baker, speaking
some time ago about the desire to
help Italy, stated that there would be
no limit to the assistance as soon as
the circumstances warranted the dis
path of forces to her consistent with
her demands.
Specifically Gen. March stated that
there would be in existence by July J,
1913, an army of 100000 men, aud
he has, therefore, stated that a field
army consists of approximately 1,060,.
900 men. There are, he said, 1900. 900
men under arms" of which nearly
one and three quarters millions are In
France.
Gen. March's plan is to have called
to the colors between now ano next
July 100000 men, which, added to
the 100000 now under arms, will
make grand total, with all allow
ances for casualties and reflections, of
4,800,000. 1t is believed by officers
that with the constantly increasing
monthly figures of laying down the
troops In Europe the whole number
of the draft necessary to raise the
2,70O,000 will be in Europe on various
fronts by the middle of July. The ire
mendous number of Americans to be
under arms in Europe will make it
necessary to further classify the total
into groups Of Aeld armies" which
is the next and highest possible elias.

BRITISH WIN GROUND
AROUND ST. QUENTIN
THEY PUSH FORWARD IN NEIGH
5oRHooD or HoLUoN VILLAGE
ARE APPROACHING HODGE.

London. - The British have gained
ground in the neighborhood of Holuon
village, north OF St. Quentin, accord
ing to Field Marshal Haig's report.
A German post west of La Bassec
was captured. New posts were estab-
lished northeast of Neuve Chapelle
and in the neighbornood of Ploeg-
steert.
Another small but important bulge
of the Ypres salient into German ter
ritory was forced by the British
troops when they attacked on fronE
of 1000 yards along the Menin road
and drove back the Germans for a
distance of 500 yards. This advance
carried Field Marshal Haig's men
within mile Of HODGE, which figured
in many fierce conflicts in previous
fighting. Further south the British
at the same time pushed northeast
ward of Ploegsteert and established
posts 200 yards in advance of the ci1
line which they had occupied before
the German drive began in March.
This was the third consecutive day
of fine weather and the battlefelas
are rapidly drying out.
British troops III the past "a hours
have captured 1901 Germans. There
is plenty of evidence that the enemy
is expecting further concerted attacks
at various places. A captured order
points out that The allies must now
be expected to strike heavy blows and
bewails the lack of assault troops as
rendering any prospect of successful
counter-attacks or effective resistance
impossible.
Prisoners recently captured say ina:
every effort has been made to sup
press all news OF the American sue
cess Mt st. MihieI, concerning which
alarming rumors prevail. The gen
eral impression seems to be that the
American victory has been so OYER
