SEES LAST BLOW NEAR.
BOnar Law Believes Germany's
Power VIII BE Broken Then.

LONDON. July s.--'The coming Ger
man blow will not be less dangerous be-
cause OF the time employed In preparing
FOR IL, but II IS comforting 10 know that
Il c men responsible for the command OF
the allied armies are confident Of the
result" Andrew Bonar Law. Chancellor
Of the ExcheGuer. so sopke last night al
a dinner TO the delegates OF the Parlia-
entary Commercial Conference.
III Is impossible IN foresee the fu-
ture,' he added. but do believe that
the fateful hour Of this war is upon US,
and II in another three months our enc
mics have won no strategic object, then
their campaign will have failed and II
will. hope, be a decisive failure"
The Germans possessed the most per-
feet military machine that ever existed,
but the Chancellor said he believed that
when the history o. the war was written
II would be seen that Germany had made
/ greater military mistakes than any
/ other Power. He instanced tie SUBJ
marine warfare, which had brought the
! United States into the war. He doubted
whether Germany would get as much out
Of Russia as che expected. WI erever the
/ German soldier had planted his foot
7 'he name OF German was loathed for
generations.
The Chancellor spoke gratefully Of
I American help ana alluded 10 the won
/ derful organization in sending American
/ troops across the Atlantic. The Ger
mans. he said. could now weigh the ad-
vantages and disadvantages OF their
submarine campaign through them.
Mr.. Bonar Law said he trembled TO
! think what would have been the posi-
ton OF the Allies after Russia went out
Of the war but FOR the help OF the United
| States He had not despaired OF Russia,
which he likened 10 patient in a de-
/ lirium. II was impossible from hour TO
! hour to tell what the future might bring

The population OF the enemy Powers
WAS 1874 900. 900, that OF the Entente Al
lance 100000 900. That in itself was
league Of nations with n military
force that was terrible, but the economic
force also was strong.
OF one thing he said. there was no
/ doubt just as the Allies were Standing
| together now so would they stand when
the war was over TO repair the ravages
Of the war. The Chancellor concluded
II see no immediate hope OF peace.
There Is no road 10 IL. ! fear, except the
rugged road through victory. 1t will
be fatal to the world and fatal to the
Germans themselves II they are not

front, according TO Gen. Peyton e
March. Chief Of STAFF. who explained the
past weeks military activities TO the
newspaper correspondents this morning.
ut Is perfectly evident that this de-
lay is preparatory to heavy assault
in force" he said. land the present con-
d!tion of affairs does not mean anything
but that They are recognising their
troops. filing up losses and preparing to
try IL again"
Gen. March described the attacks being
made by the allied and American forces
on the enemy as "nibbling," He referred
TO the successful American attack on
vau1 on July as very nicely planned"
The Ninth and Twenty-third resi-
ments furnished the infantry contingent.
Gen. March added, and the Twelfth. FRI

Field Artillery supported the attack.
These troops form a part OF our sec
ond division, which Ia under command OF
Ma3or-Gen. Omar Bundy," Gen. March
continued. The successes attained have
been consolidated and subsequent A.

The matter OF the use of gas In our
service has recently been consolidated"
Gen. March said. "as has been an

which tas been paid TO the fine work OF

KEEP FLESH FIRM AND CLEAR
Massage May Be Used TO Increase the
Flesh or Diminish 1t as Desired,
Says Beauty Expert.

Massage may do its bit toward affect
ing the contour of the face if one hap
pens 10 be dissatisfied with ones birth
right, says Il beauty expert.
If the cheeks are hollow, rub them
gently to Increase the flesh and to
make them round.
If double chin or superfluous flesh
is the aflliction, rub vigorously TO wear
away the fat by friction.
Never begin massage without first
having washed the face thoroughly
with hot water, not only to remove all
dust, but SO that the pores may be
opened and made ready TO receive the
unguent.
In order that the finger may slide
over the skin without pulling, and also
that the tissues of the skin may be
benefited, lotion or cream should be
used.
Upon the original condition of the
face depends the type of lotion that
should be used.
If very fat, an astringent compost
ton would be best. While the thin
face requires the flesh-making cream.

"Bruges la Morte. /"

In n lost corner of the great low
land fiat of Flanders, defended from
the sea by an artificial dixie, and at the
point of intersection of q net work OF
canals and waterways, there stands a
little town known to the Belgians as
Brugge and to the rest of the world as
Bruges, writes Niksah.
Fortunately for lovers of the quaint
and picturesque, this city with its slen-
der bell turrets, its lacelike gables and
decorated house fronts has so far been
spared the general devastation that fol
lowed in the wake of the invading Ger
mans. They call it "Bruges la morte''
and at every turn there is something to
remind the visitor of the decay that
has fallen upon the town. The ever
recurring view of picturesquely
grouped tower, gable and bridge, of
wide tree-filled parks, breathes an at
mosphere of infinite stiffness and
charm, which is at the same time
strangely pathetic.

SECRET OF 'CHARM'
TULLE FOR EVENING SCARFS
Fllmy Material. When Used TO swathe
Neck and Shoulders, Provides
Youthful Background.

Interest IN shown In evening scarfs
OF tilmy tissues which may be- thrown
across the shoulders either for drift
protection or merely to heighten the
artistic effect of the gown Itself.
While many women admire the rich
lace scarfs of Spanish persuasion,
those Of applique lace or Of Syrian eff
feet, there are many others who pre-
fer tulle bought by the yard and which
Is used 90 swathe the neck and shout
ders In charmlngly youthful frame.
The disadvantage OF these impromp-
10 scarfs lies in their perlshable quail
~. However, their purchase price Is
not great and they may be renewed
frequently without involving the pos
SCISSOR In any wild extravaganza.
Many of the new net scarfs are Of
fered In pastel colors and these are
trimmed with lridescent paillettes in
the form of narrow border along the
edges and n wide border across the
bottom. In some instances the latter
is supplemented by either silk or
bead fringe.
There are also scarfs Of dark tulles
and georgette crepes which are printed
in rich contrasting colors and finished
with hemstitchcd or beaded border.
