FrancO-American
 Army Celebrates

With the American Troops in France, Oct. 14-In a little she'll stricken church in the town of Sainte Genevieve, perched on a hill com manding a view of Metz, Americans and French, soldiers and civilians, Protestants and aCtholics, gathered today in solemn celebration of the Battle of Sainte Genevieve, fought and won by the French just four years ago.
 The village priest beamed with de- light as he gaZed upon his unusual flock climbing up the hilly streets which led to the church. In the shattered belfry, with its gaping walls still swing two beautiful bells, and these pealed out joyous note as the hour for early mass approached.
 The little church was crowded with men in khaki and horizon blue, with a few old men in the more sombre shades of civilian clsth, and women and children gaily clad. The service was as impressive as it was simple, as the kindly priest asked blessings upon the Americans.

SASHES.

The sash of 191S-19 is a more so- phisticated and ailuring accessory than it's predecessor of a decade or so ago, and it is adjusted to suit the fancy of the wearer or the artistic conception, of the designer. Some times the bow is directly in the back, big and broad, like the obi of the maid of Old Japan Again the loops will be placed at the right or at the left side, a perky, jaunty arrangement of silk or satin sometimes with one instead of two long ends and fringe edged. Then there is the broad girdle, usually of the material, deftly man. oeuvred with ends terminating in tas- sels. However it is introduced the sash is a distinctive feature of the autumn froek Even the tailored Serge, fashioned severely, with high collar and long tight sleeves, boasts sash these days, at least one chic model does, the sash heing of the ma terial and terminating in wide bow att the normal waistline in the back Another use for the material sash is on the velet frocl, one example being an old rose velvet gown worn by a young girl in one of the new plays. It is a delightfully."- simple gown, one piece. medium width skirt and wide girdle> and broad bow of the velvet A narrow band of Kolinsky outlines the round necls and edges the modi- fled kimono sleeves.

National Restaurant
 Is Self Supporting

London Oct. 14-The national res: taurant here, which was established to expose the profiteers, is not only self-supporting but is making good profit, according to Alderman c. F. Spencer, it's director. Caterers had charged that the enterprise was able to supply good food at reasonable prices only because it had government aid
 After deducting rent. management charges and all other expenses the restaurant has been clearing about $350 week or 70 per cent. a year on its capital.
 Meals sold for 3 cents yield a net profit of about two cents. Comment ing on this the Manchester Guardian observes: "It is thus beyond question 2 shat, even at war prices, excellent food in sufficient quantities can be sold at prices within the reach of everyone, with a sound profit left over"
 The British Food Controller thus is encouraged in his policy of opening national restaurants in other big cities.

THE FARMERS DUTY.

That the Fourth Liberty Loan pre- Ients to the farmers an uneQualed Op- portunity to demonstrate their patriot sm was stated today by Mir Frank H. Wells, president of the Suffolk County Farm Bureau Association.
 "The Fourth Liberty Loan," said Mir. Wells, "offers to farmers an opportu- nity to participate in patriotic duty, to help their own or neighbours sons to do more efficient work at the front, for this is their war and this their country, and this Loan is to aid in safeguarding their homes and personal liberty.
 "The number who subscribe and the amount will reflect their patriotism. Finally it is an absolutely safe invest nent."

STIRRING SCENE OF ACTIVITY IN FRENCH PORT WHERE GOODS.
 FROM AMERICAN SHIPS UNLOAD
Eighteen Vessels At Three Miles of Piers Deliver 10000 Tons of Supplies in Day Five Main Ports For Re ceiving Supplies From America For Our Troops in France.

France, Oct Correspondence of The Associated Press) Eighteen big steamships of 5000 to 5000 tons each were unloading American army goods at the rate of 10000 tons a day along the three miles of American docks here. today. The spectacle was a stirring scene of activity Crowds of enlisted men assisted at the matches and manipulated the giant cranes as big steel motor trucks were lifted out bodily, along with parts of locomotives and railway cars, and all the lniscel- laneous freight of an army, while an army of negro stevedores kept the steady stream of goods moving back to the nearby warehouses and trains.
 Taking care of this avalanche of army goods coming from America, is quite as much of a problem as taking care of the arriving troops. Here one obtains an idea of the mammoth pro- portions of the equipment which the Americans have been compelled to set up for this branch of the expedition. Coming from a northern port, a succession of big American establish ments was seen at every port along the western coast. At one port were 14 American docks or berths, at another eight, at third four, another three. Here at this main port are American docks each with a thousand feet of frontage.
 These 45 docks at the five main ports represent a dock frontage of about 10 miles, capable of unloading 3O,O00 tons of army goods every day, or an average of about 50 pounds per man for everyone serving in France.
 And yet, great as this present equip ment is, it represents only about a third of the vast installation which is moving steadily forward to completion in order to meet the needs of an army of several million men. The basis of calculation for this huge work is 50 pounds per day per man this being an average covering the whole range of military supplies, in dividual and general, food, clothing, ammunition. guns, and all other army

requirements.

requirements
 On this established basis of 50 pounds per day per man, an, army of million men < requires 50,000,00 pounds of goods daily, or 25, 900 tons. But as the American army in Europe has long exceeded the million mark, the scale of preparation must be far in excess of this 25;00O tons a day, reaching not far from the gigantic total of 100, 900 tons daily, to be un- loaded from ships, stored in ware houses and trains, and started on it's way to the men at the front It is this colossal daily requirement. which Stlrs into intense activity these miles on miles of American docks where three shifts of soldier workmen working night and day, are unloading scores of steamships.
 Seven miles back from the water front there is another huge American installation where goods from the ships are forced on their way to the front. It is gigantic, like everything in this vast military influx, and when we visited it today the 147th ware house had just been completed. Each
  gether they stretch along four miles of front.
 In the neighboring camp were 1000 negro troops and laborers engaged in the warehouse work. An American railway system connects the water front directly with this storage plant and incessant streams of army gooGz keep moving forward to the ware house plant. The whole place fairly throbs with animation, and besides the enormous industry there is the hustle and activity of countless camps with their khaki tents dotting the fields for miles along the railway. Altogether, on the water front and receiving plant, the working force includes 13,O0G engineer troops, 1000 stevedores, 5000 civilian laborers, l 1000 German prisoners and 900 in fantry in all 30,OOO men carrying on the American activities at this one port

WHY ADVERTISED
 STORES SUCCEED.

Old fashioned business used to be run on the Come and Take It. sys- tenn. A man opened shop and wait ed for customers to come around. If he waited a good many years, they got used to his presence and did come around.
 Modern business is built on the so- liciting system. The retail dealer buys of the man who solicits his trade. He rarely bothers with peo- pie who don't care enough about his patronage to solicit it. He feels that they are so out of line with the mod ern tendency, that they are not likely to be up to date or enterprising
 The public feel the same way. They wait to see who solicits their trade before deciding where they should buy. If a man does not solicit their trade in any way, they conclude he it out of the game.
 As advertising is the only thor oughly practical way of soliciting trade at reasonable cost, it Is the only way to make it appear that l dealer is playing the game of modern business

 QUESTIONABLE
 IS NOW READY
Federal Director of Com munity Labor Board Has
 Sent Them to Chairmen,

Hartford Oct. 14-Leo A. Korper, Federal Director for Connecticut of the United States Employment Ser vice, has sent to the chairmen of the states fourteen community la Dor boards copies of the uuestion- naire for manufacturers which was prepared under his direction bv special committee of the chairr1ep The questionnaire is designed to se- cure from each manufacturer exact information as to the percentage of war work his factory is doing, and the number of employees engaged in non-war work, so that the latter may. be transformed as quickly as possible to war work, either in the same fac tory or in others where they may be more needed. Questionnaires will be sent by the community labor board chairmen to all manufacturers in their respective districts Each man.
 ufacturer will receive three copies. Two of these will be returned to the labor board chairman, five days after. their receipt, and one will be retain ed by the manufacturer.
 The information thus obtained will
 be recorded at once, and the workers
 classified as to occupations by the chairman of the community labor boards, each of whom is also the or
 ganizer of the United States Public Service Reserve in his district Lists
 of available workers will be turned
 over to the respective district offices
 of the United States Employment | Seervice. The superintendent of the Employment Service will place these
 workers where they are most need ed. There will be a particular ef- fort to respond to those require
 r7"nts of war industries already on
 file.
 inc present great shortage of war workers led to the organization of
 the community labor boards by the Federal War Labor Policies board. | and to the appointment of the sev- eral organizers of the United States Public Service Reserve in the four teen districts of Connecticut, The community labor boards act in an l advisory capacity in conjunction
 with the local directors and state director of the United States Employ
 ment Service. In cases where there is question as to the proper place heHl or TdnSleF or WOrKerS, the mat ter is considered and decided blythe community labor boards. Appeals to the State Advisory Board, or to the Labor Department at Washington as the final authority, are permitted. The
 placing of all labor in the state is under the direction of MT. Korper, and no worker may be taken from any local district or from the state
 without his consent.
 All decisions of both community and state labor boards are subject to regulations issued and approved by the Director General of the United States Employment Service, with the advice of the War Labor Policies of the Federal Labor Department.

A8TERICAs FIRST AUTOMOBILE

AMERlCAS FIRST AUTOMOBILE The first experimental automobile built in the United States was the in vention of Elwood Haynes, who was born in Portland, Ind, sixty-one years ago today. Haynes began his inven- tive career while still in his teens Ay constructing an apparatus for making oxygen gas. After graduating from Worcester Polytechnic Institute he became principal of the high school in his native town. Later he be- came superintendent of an oil and gas company and it was while thus en- gagged that he began work on his "horseless carriage After three years of labor he succeeded in mak- ing a machine that would run, and in 1894 he exhibited his self-propelled vehicle in Chicago. On its trial trip Ire car attained a speed of six and a Galf miles an hour This automo- eile. the oldest in existence, Is now exhibited at the Smithsonian Institu- ton in Washington. At about the same time Charles B. Duryea, of Reading, Pa. was experimenting along the same lines, and a little later Alexander Winton, of Cleveland, invented an engine which resulted in the first automobile that was produc- ed commercially and extensively sold

when Commander-in-C Chief of the National Guard, devised a new cockade. He used the coIors blue. white and red Blue and red have been the colors of Paris from time immemoria1. and white was for the royal family.
 The second theory Is that the colors of three old historic flags of France were combined.
 The third is that the flag is de- rived from the shield of the Orleans family. The sequence of the colors Is blue, next to the staff: then white. and red on the flying tip.

MORE TROOPS MUST

GREAT NEED FOR IMMEDIATE
MOVEMENT OF RESERVES.
PLANS FOR NEEDED TONNAGE

Washington.-The allies have made
new calls on America for more men,
Despite the arrangements for hast
ening of troop movements, undertaken
since the great drive began. pressing
clamors to go beyond that limit have
reached here.
England and France must have even
greater man power than America has
pledged, officials have been informed.
and though the program of brigading
Americans with the allies was speed
up measure, 1t and the hurried in
crease in troop saiilngs will be insult
ficient. ~ etse+~ sf " aT5ia~'7 -
AS result the officials are racking
their brain to make an even heavier
shipment of men. More ships are be-
ing sought and 1t may be necessary to
cut into already short rat1ons for Eu-
rope to provide the space for soldiers.
Haig's "backs to the WALL statement
is an echo of the call. With the Ger
mans pressing in in Flanders and
spread along the great Amiens front,
the reserve force of the allies must be
built up vastly at once, the appeals
suggest.
At the War Department 1t was given
out officially that new troops are un-
der way to increase the tonnage avail
able and thereby hurry the troops
across. And it was made clear that
more shipping will be obtained. This
will come from unexpected quarters.
1t was suggested.
The Versailles war council has the
whole troop problem under considera-'
tion. 1t is known. The general staff,
the shipping board and the navy are
being called in on the play. ~

VOTE TO CONsCRIPT IRISH
Asquith Declares Crisis Too Grave for
opposItion--Approve Plans for
Local Government

London-A proposal by Irish Ma
tionalists to omit the conscription Of
ireland clause from the government
man-power bill was rejected by ma
jority of 172 in the House Of Commons.
The total vote shows that large sec
tion of the House abstained from vot-
ing.
The debate in the House was re-
markable for the sneech Of H. H. As
quith, the former premier, who. while
strongly objecting to the conscription
of Ireland. frankly declined to take the
responsibility at the moment the ma
tion is facing grave military crisis
Of pushing that opposition to the ex-
tent of forcing q change in the gov
ernment. .s
The government spokesman in the
House, Andrew Bonar Law. In brief
speech winding up the discussion con-
tended that the government had a NOR
al right in what they were doing and
would be craven not to do it.
