WOmen's NeW Fall
Shoes That Predicate
Short Skirts

Women's shoes that are being made now and
that will be made hereafter during the war must
in all cases be less than 8 inches in height, and in
the case of button shoes, 7 inches. .
All the shoes for Fall, 1918, were, as every
body knows, either cut or made some months ago
before the wartime restriction went into effect.
Therefore, women. can, at least for one more
season, wear high shoes to their hearts content
without violence to any feeling of patriotism.
The new shoes are very fne-and possibly for
the last time also-highly fashionable, and toes
are even narrower than ever, vamps are long and
Louis heels are as high as ever they dared to be.
There are also shoes of a more moderate char
-acter with Cuban and low heels.
Most fashionable seem to be dark-tan lace
shoes, followed in order by patent leather, kid
skin and dull calfskin.
Prices are low, comparatively speaking, lower
certainly than shoes of equal grade will be found
elsewhere
$3.50 to $11 for black shoes, $6 to $11 for tan '
shoes.

LOCAL WOMEN
GIVEN CHANCE
TO ENLIST
Recruiting Station Will
Take all Wishing to Be
come Nurses.

An urgent appeal to the young
girls of Minnesota has been sent out,
asking them to seriously consider tho
course which is being offered in. the
nea future, for substitute nurses. This
nurses course will be open only to
high school graduates and although
q college course is favorable it is not
altogether compulsory.
This state has been called upon to
furnish her quota Of. nurses and, in
order to fill this quota, it has become
necessary to enlist young women, as,
for the past three years it has been
customary to take into the service,
voluntarily, the young men Of the
country.
The women's council Of defense will
have charge of the recruiting in the
city, and, as yet, plans are not COM
pleted. The Kingman Pharmacy will
be the local recruiting station, and
Mrs. F. c. Massee will supervise. as
chairman of the woman's council of
defense.
All the young women in the city
are asked to consider this matter very
seriously and be ready to enlist, when
the time comes This work is being
done over the entire country and each
city is anxious that its station do the
most. Many young ladies have been
awaiting the present opportunity and
have expressed their eagerness in as
sisting in war work.

FISHMAN OUT Of DANGER

on Comparatively Well.

Samuel Fishman, s02 Second aven-

Yesterday, is still in y local hospital
and was reported this afternoon to
be feeling as well as could be expect
ed. His physician said there was no
immediate danger although no aefin-

The accident took place late yes
terday afternoon when Mr.. Fishman
had been watering his horse at the
fount at the head of Chestnut street.
For some unknown a the AMI
NAL became frightened and started to
gallop down Chestnut street, running
down Jack Slater, an elderly man
who was riding a bicycle which was
damaged while the rider himself
escaped unhurt although he was
dragged along the street for about
half a block.
The horse kept on running, finally
throwing Mr.. Fishman heavily against
6. tree while the box of the wagon
fell on the street completely covering
Joe Nodiff, a 7-year-old boy who had
been in the wagon and who escaped
miraculously.
Mr.. Fishman was rendered un-
conscious in the fall and a subsequent
examination showed that his collar
bone had been broken and also that
he had sustained several minor frac-
lures. ' -.t

Toddy's War
Summary
(By The Associated Press.)

The Allied offensive, although UNI
checked by the Germans, has slowed
down. Enemy counter attacks have
ceased for the moment.
Meanwhile the Allied artillery is
pouring a heavy fire on the German
bases, depots and lines of communi-
cation with the pocket between
Rheims and scissors. The entire
region is within the range of the big
guns and, as on the previous days.
they continue to hammer the enemy
unceasingly. Allied airmen have in
creased the intensity of their bombing
operations. AS a result the Germans
within the pocket probably are better
off than during the period of bitter
edges.
From the Ourcq to the Marine and
along the Marine, the Germans have
been cleared almost entirely from
the Fere and His forests and the
Tournelle wood, n now stand with
their backs against the virtually clear
plateau between Fere-en-Tardenois
and Ville-en-Tardenois. The Allied
lines are within a, few miles Of these
important southern base. is of 10 use
to the enemy, Allied guns dominating
the town and the diverging roads.
This situation was improved further
for the Allies by the capture of Vile
mont6ire and Oulchy-Le Chateau,
which the Germans have made no at
tempt to retake.
Almost all the progress Friday was
made in the wooded areas north of
the Marine and between the Marine
and the Ourcq. Using as small a
number OF men as possible the enemy
depended on artillery and machine
guns to halt the French and Ameri-
cans who pushed on and chased the
Germans to the northern edges.
It is believed the German crown
prince continues to withdraw his men
Further fires have bee seen and ex-
blossoms heard within the enemy
lines
East of Rheims in Champagne.
Gouraud has r~e-occupied his former
first line east Of the Suippes. The ad-
vance measures more than 500 yards
on a front of over ten miles and in
cludes the recapture of the de Mas
f; signes. In the operations the French
took 100 prisoners.
Paris last night also reported the
capture of 200 Germans on the
western flank of the salient. The
latest estimate of German prisoners
taken since July 1S is 10000.
On the other sectors in France the
! Allies await German thrusts. There
is strong belief in some quarters that
the enemy will strive to ease the sit
uation north of the Marine by a strong
attack elsewhere.
British airmen in the:last wee have
accounted for 81 enemy machines
while losing 81. Long distance raid
ing was the greatest during the war
Twenty-Five incursjons into Germany
were made and 1874 tons of bombs
dropped. Zeebrugge and Ostend also
were bombed.
Further complications have arisen
in the Siberian situation. A provis,
ional government at Omsk, in Central
Siberia claims supreme authority and
has declared the independence Of 81
IBERIA. Another report received, in
London say that the Siberian gov
eminent at V~ladivostok. presumably
