organized and he was assigned to the
engineer regiment.
His mother, Mrs. Ida Grosh, received
word from the War Department that
her son was among the missing. Her
sorrow was shortlived, as the eNplana-
tory cablegram arrived shortly after the
first message Grosh explained in a
few words how he was whirled into the
thick of the fray, part of the present
drive, lost his command and joined other
fighting warriors from this country.
With them he again went into battle
and was still fighting. His closing re-
mark was that he hoped to rejoin his
comrades in the engineers as soon as
possible.
Mrs. Grosh has another son in the
service. He is Private Edwin Grosh,

NIFTY STYLES FOR MEN GOES
 ON THE SLIDE

'"The days of the male clothing slackers' are numbered, said c. A. Estes, of Brown X Hawkins, this morning, who has arrived here to take charge of the clothing Department. In the mail on the Alameda, con tinucd MT. Estes, "I received notice that all tailors in the country have be- cn told to eliminate all unnecessary embellishments on mems clothing.
 "The day for nifty styles has passed and it behooves every man in this country who wishes to help the govern lnent in conservation measures and at the same time to be well dressed to see to it that only garments made along lines of the utmost simplicity are worn. The keynote for all appar- els is simplicity.
 Among the eliminations from mems clothing recommended are: Belts on coats, cuffs on sleeves, patch pockets on sack coats, overcoats and vests; pocket flaps, double e-breaster sack, coats and vests, tunnel loops on trous- CTS and peg-top trousers.

fore estimate their losses anywhere
from one-half to two-thirds. The ex.
tent of their shipbuiIding since the
war began is uncertain, but the best
estimates, based on ships building
when the war began, are between
100000 and 100000 tons.
The expense involved in rebuilding
the mercantile marine will be enor-
nous, and TO overcome this difficulty
many OF the larger concerns have In
creased their capital greatly. From
August, 1916, to November last eleven
of the larger companies had increased
their aggregate capital from 100000
marks TO G92OOO0O marks. Many new

Among the schemes 10 encourage
shipbuilding is the establishment OF

those who lack sufficient capital. l'e-
fore the war this class was dependent

build her own ships, but also to have
whatever profit there may be In ship

During the war Germany has i'm
posed the most drastic regulations
upon the shipping interests. Both ex.
ports and Imports have been subjected
to the closest scrutiny, and one very
keen observer in Sweden believes that
this supervision has been intensified
not only for the purpose OF grinding
every possible penny out Of adjacent
neutral countries, but also to prepare

December, 1917, Peace
Offer Was Made By
American Manufacturer

Copenhagen, Nov. %. - Vienna
newspapers publish a letter from
Count Czernin, former Austro-Hun-
garian foreign minister, explaining
an alleged American peace offer
made in December, 1917. He says
it was one OF many cases in which
unauthorized private individuals
tried to accelerate the return OF
peace. In this particular case, he
says a manufacturer made overtures
but was unable to prove that he was
accredited by the American or any
other government.

In that same month there began In
