ENGLISH WOMEN TO
DESIGN OWN SUITS

BY United Press.
London, Aug. 6.-Man always did
set had example.
The clumsiness of the mems stand
ard suits has proven to the fair sex
that mere man must not attempt to
have a voice in choosing a suitable
uniform for women.
women are unanimous in declaring
they must select the style and cut
themselves
A consensus of feminine opinion
inclines to have quality and price of
materials for standcrd dresses fixed,
and also prices for making There
is a strong demand that steps should
be taken to place these standardized
articles on the market in readiness
for the cold winter weather
But" says a leading w. A. A. c.
officer, don't let men make any mis-
take Girls are wearing uniforms
for The wars sake, but none of them
really like it. My girls are always
telling me how they long to break
forth into bright colors, and when
the wars over therell be no holding
them back in this direction They
have the good sense to wear plain
things. and they are sensible enough
to work for the nation, therefore
they are sensible enough to choose
the cut of their suits" And woe be
tide the man who tries to lay down
the law" nthis point

London, Aug. 6.-The army is solv-

to our insularity, the English were

But the army has fixed all that

Practically all of the boys have
mastered the essentials of the French
language. For instance, they have
all learned to say Bong soir, mann
selle, voulez-yous promener ayec

To keep their linguistic accomplish
ments up to the mark the Americans
have joined them, and new phrases
have to be adopted.

the Yankee, as ne walks OIL arm IN

best girl-and competition is keen.

at noon to more than forecast the

county candidates in tho Democratic

GERMANS TOLD FOCH
Had NO RESERVES

New York, August 30-Long 10
fore Marshal Foch began his bril-
liant counter offensive on the Marine,
the Germans has been told that his
is shown by Wolff Bureau dispatch
published in the Berlin Tageblatt
which described the fighting about
Chateau Thierry.
"The hope of the Entente regarding
a decisive intervention of tn great
army of manoeuvre has been def
nitely shattered. The proud army of
reserv which the war council of Yer
sailles played out its trump exists as
such no longer" read the dispatch.
"The great victory Of the Crown
Prince has shattered a considera BILE
part of the enemy fighting force and
has resulted in the dissolution and
complete dispersal of the Foch army
of maneuvere The tremendous loss
es suffered by the Entente on the ex-
tensive fronts between Ypres and
Rheims will be difficult to replace"
This was published in Germany
about month before Marshal Foch
struck the Germans on the Marine
Salient and drove them back to the
Vesle. 1t probably shows why the
German public was so greatly sur
prised by Marshal Foch's brilliant
stroke.
