 WASHINGTON. March 30. - Off cials here tonight awaited with intense interest more detailed reports of the German drive against the French in the region of MOntdidier. Conflicting reports to the French embassy late today from Paris and issued by the British war office in London early to- night left the situation in doubt.
 An official dispatch to the French embassy saying French reserves had stopped the German advance on a 25- mile front from Lassigny to MoTeuil caused elatiOn and were taken by of ficers to indicate the German army was rapidly losing its driving power.

 LONDON, March 30.-The Germans forced their way into the village of Demuin this morning, but were held up at the western outskirts of the will lage according to the statement issued by the war office tonight, which also reports strong enemy attacks on the line short distance south of Arras.

American Proves Grit.

When an American is told that any
thing is impossible his impulse is to
try to do it without delay. For this
reason no one will be astonished,
though everyone will be interested, in
the story Of member Of the Ameri-
can Aviation corps in France who was
disciplined by having his machine ta-
ken away from him temporarily be-
cause he had used 1t in looping the
loOp-a dangerous evolution, on ac-
count of its peril forbidden to be at
tempted in this machine. While, "well
up in the blue" the aviator had start
ed to perform the feat and made FIVE
graceful loops in descending to the
ground. His commanding officer clos
ed his reprimand by asking, "Why did
you do it?" and the aviator replied, "a
Frenchman told me 1t could not be
DONE" 1t was not unnatural that this
explanation made a favorable impress
sion on the officer, and that he related
1t with admiration in proof of the fine
spirit of the fellows the United States
is sending across the Atlantic to hold
up Uncle Sans end of the world war.

The one-piece frock of cloth, for
street wear. worn with a separate coat
when the weather is cold. has run u
very close second to the tailored coat
suit for more than a year. And the
One-piece afternoon gown of satin, silk
or crepe georgette, for dressy wear,
has outdistanced everything else, in
point of popularity. Both these are
shown in immense variety of design
and decoration. The two examples
pictured above are selected from among
many that employ soutache braid or
braid effects in their garniture. Both
are similar in construction.
The frock of serge at the right has
been developed in other popular
weaves, the straight, long-waisted bod
ice and plated skirt being style fea-
lures of wide application. In the de-
tails of the sleeves, girdle and decora-
tion this model has charms peculiarly
its own. One reason for the success
of frocks of this kind lies In the alb
sence of a waistline; for the manage
ment of the waistline appears to have
given American dressmakers more
trouble than any other part of their
work.
In this model the skirt is box-plait-
ed, extending to the ankles, with plaits
pressed in to stay. The sleeves are of

ing Less Than Set Up as q
Painter and Decorator.

Phil Snodgrass, former resident, Is
visiting Phoenix and refreshing the
memories of the few old-timers who
remain, the Arizona Republican states.
Most of them had forgotten the names
and even the existence of many of the
residents of more than a generation
ago. Mr.. Snodgrass recalls them all
and has asked about them. He re-
members landmarks that long since
have disappeared and were forgotten
by those who had become familiar
with the buildings that had taken their
places.
The coming of Mr.. Snodgrass has
revived many incidents connected with
the lives of the old-timers. FL. r. Pat
rick, of course, was here then, having
completed the excavation of the Grand
canyon. Having nothing else to do,
he was awaiting on the site of Phoenix
for civilization to come and pre-
empt it.
Mr.. Patrick was then, as now,
civil engineer. His leveling rod had
seen rough times and needed paint
ing. About that time p. G. Bicknell
appeared on the scene and advertised
himself as decorative painter. He
undertook to paint the rod. When Mr..
Patrick received 1t back he had a lev
cling rod unlike any other in exist
ence. He felt sure that that was the
first one Bicknell had ever seen.
Though Mr.. Patrick had paid $5 for
the decoration, he made no complaint,
but repainted 1t himself after a fash
ion, so 1t would do.
Years afterward Patrick and Bick-
nell met In saloon in Wickenburg
and in talking over old times both be-
came quite frank and outspoken.
"You remember" asked Patrick,
"that leveling rod you painted for me?"
Bicknell remembered 1t very well.
"Well," said Patrick, "what in the
devil induced you to hold yourself out
to the public as painter? Why didn't
you advertise as minister Of the
gospel or the czar of Russia"

The activities of the woman's divl.
Zion in Red Cross work are so varied
that there is something for every wOm-
an to do. And the same work must be
done over and over again. When we
consider the numbers of men In the
armies and hospitals, and the refugees
and orphans, all looking to the Red
Cross to relieve them from suffering.
something Of the size Of its gigantic
task dawns on us. During the month
of December the central division in
spected and shipped 3,130,203 articles,
all Of them the work Of womens fin
gers.
In order that no labor may be vast
ed 1t is essential that all these articles
be made according to Red Cross stand
ards. Every chapter has manuals of
instruction to be given out to any wom-
an who needs them as guide in doing
the work she elects to do. Women who
must work at home may make refugee
garments, hospital garments and linen,
In addition to knitting. 1t almost goes
without saying that our knitting bags
should be always with us. Some wom-
en- enjoy making and fitting up COM
fort kits, and they are constantly need
ed to refit the men ut the front. Sweat
ers and helmets Qf knitted according
to the directions in the Red Cross Man
ual No. 400) are in constant demand.
While on the subject of knitting,
Meade County news., 1918-02-14

there are a few "don'ts" that must be
considered if our work Is to pass the
inspector. Don't put cOlOred bands In
knitted articles, except In socks. These
may have colored stripes, If the col
ored yarns are boiled before using so
that the color will not run when the
socks are washed.
One Of the things asked for by the
Red Cross Is the kid waistcoat for sol
diers and sailors. Soft leather of every
description may be used for making 1t,
such as cast-Off kid gloves, discarded
furniture covers, pieces Of book leath-
er. Factories where leather goods are
made should be asked to donate all
their waste clippings for this purpose
To make this garment, waistcoat but
toning up to the throa: is first made of
cotton goods. The leather is appliqued
to this foundation by Misunderstanding
the pieces onto 1t. When this Is done
the foundation Is backed with brown or
khaki-colored silesia, or galatea, or
other inexpensive material. The waist
coats are made so that they meet or
lap over in front, but are not provided
with buttons or fastenings of any kind,
and they may be made from as large or
small scraps Of leather as are avail
able. The leather does not show, for
it is worn inside. When old gloves are
used they are to be cleaned and cut
open and the leather used in single
thickness only.

An embroidered linen collar proclaims
its loyalty to this model with en-

The frock of georgette crepe Is belt,

collar and bands at the sides of the
bodice are of this light crepe and the
braid used for decorating the panel at
the front of the skirt, and the bodice,
match 1t In color. In spite of its sheer,

Crushed Zeppelin Under Road Roller.

When the French began to take to
pieces the skeleton Of the gigantic Yep
pelln that fell on the hills near the
banks of the Buech they found 1t an
almost inextricable tangle of metal.
The way they went to work was most
ingenious.
At the suggestion of NJ. Dumanois,
naval engineer, they cut the carcass
apart with oxy-acetylene torches; the
pieces of framework were carried by
men to a nearby road. where a heavy
steam road roller was sent over them
to crush them fiat. Thus the bulk was
reduced by four-flfths, and the metal
most aluminum-was carted away
to the foundry.
