Evacuate Carlepont Wood.

Evacuate Carlepont Wood.
The French forces operating on the
east bank of the Oise river south of
Noyon have evacuated the Carlepont
wood and the Germans are closely
pressing them southwark. according
to the German official communication
Wednesday. The communication also
asserts that the territory on the op-
posite side Of the river near where the
Matz enters the stream has been
cleared of all enemy troops.
Nowhere else along the battle front
running from Montdidier to the re-
gion around Noyon is any clam made
to further advances by the Germans.
On the contrary, the latest communi-
cation shows that the enemy every
where has been busily engaged in at.
tenpts to hold back the French and
other allied troops, among them som.
Americans. 5g
No mention is made in the German
communication of the allies having
advanced their front cast of Merry and
the Genlis wood or of the repulsc OF
violent German attacks along the
Aronde river and at the Loges farm
and Anteuil. Neither lis there any
mention of the fact that the enemy,
notwithstanding his numerous at
tempts, has been unable to debouch
south of the Matz river.
The communication asserts that all
the counter attacks of the allied forces
have been repulsed and that they suf-
fered heavy casualties. 1t declared
the number of prisoners taken by
General Won Hutier's army has now
risen to more than $4,000,
1t had been admitted that the posi-
tion of the defending line on the west
bank of the Disc river was delicate
one owing to the capture by the Ger
mans of the outflanking hills to the
west, and successful drive through
the Carlepont wood. on the opposite
side of the stream, seemingly would
have necessitated a strategic retreat
if the troops were not to be entirely
cut off.
Southwest of Montdidier, where the
allied forces on Tuesday in violen.
counter attacks made notable gains
against the enemy, American artillery
men have been thrown into the fray
and are harassing the Germans with
their fire. No other Americans thus
far have taken part in the fighting.
To the north of Montdidier, the
Germans several times have tried tc
drive out the Americans from the vii.
lage of Cantigny, but each time they
have been repulsed.

CARGO IS
TAKEN ON
HUN BOAT
German Submarine Kept on
Surface Of Ocean Two Days
While Transferring 80
Tons Of Copper.
tBy Associated Press,

New York, June 1.-THE
audacity of a German SUBJ
marine captain, who kept his
vessel on the surface for two
days while transferring to the
U-boat 80 tons of copper from
the Norwegian steamship Vim
deggen, which was halted 120
miles off Cape Hatteras, was
described tonight by officers Of
the freighter.
The Vindeggen's crew and
that of the Henrik Lund, also a
Norwegian, were brought to
this port aboard the Danish
steamship Brosund after their
raft had been sunk by the Teu-
ton raider.
The Henrik Lund hove in sight and
was signalled by the submarine just
as the later was finishing its looting
of the Vindeggen's cargo, SAID mem
bers of the crews. The German COM
mander ordered both the ships COM
panies into their boats and sent the
two vessels to the bottom with bombs.
Captain Balmestad of the Nindeg-
gen and Captain Kaltenborg of the
Hendrix Lund were interviewed here
by naval officials. The crews, COM
prising 68 men, most of whom are
Chinese, were turned over to the inn
migration authorities.
The Vindeggen was bound here
from South American port, her cop
per consigned to the American Smelt-
ing and Refining company.
The destruction of these two ships
makes four flying the Norwegian flag
which have been victims of German
submarines in American waters. The
two others were the Vinland, sunk
June 5, and the Eidsvold, sunk June
4, both off the Virginia capes.

! Escapes From Sea Wolf.
An Atlantic Port, June l2.-How
the American steamer Edward Pierce
escaped both shell FIRE and a torpedo
from a German submarine off the Vir-
ginia capes Monday night in stern
chase that ended only when coast
lights were sighted, was related here
today by Captain Wade, master Of
the vessel. The attack came soon
after the Norwegian steamer Henrik
Lund was sunk l20 miles east of
Cape Hatteras and probably was
made by the same submarine.
Captain Wade said his first warning
81 the presence of the sea wolf was
in fash Of light ard she'll crossing
his bow. 1t was dark and the cap
tain decided that lie would depend up
on that and speed to save his ship.
All steam was crowded on the vessel
and a zigzag course was run. The
submarine continued to fire but the
craftsmanship Of the gunners in the
darkness was poor.
Finding his guns unavailing, the
German, according to Captain Wade,
launched torpedo but it went wide,
though the captain and members Of
the crew saw it pass their vessel at
rapid speed. The chase lasted for
two hours, the submarine evidently
drawing off when the coast lights
came into view.
Captain Wade said his wireless
calls were answered by the Cape
Sable, Nova Scotia, station, and the
American steamer Walter d. Noyes.
The latter vessel REPORTED on its ar
rival here that it had sighted what
was believed to have been a subn1ar-
inc but the Noyes was not attacked.

LATEST IN LINGERIE FRoCKS
Paris Collection Shows Soft, Graceful
Straight Lines of Sheer Fabrics
and Delicate CoIorinas.

The latest lingerie frocks from Paris
are exquisite in detail. with soft, grace
full, straight lines, of sheer fabrics and
most delicate colorings They are
gowns of taste and distinction, at the
same time governed by the simplicity
that is the keynote of modern style,
without any of the over-elaboration Of
embroidery and lace that characterized
the old-time lingerie frock.
A collection of these frocks just
brought over, states a New York fash
ion correspondent, is marked by charm
and grace of design and daintiness Of
detail. Skirts give the impression of
being full; that is, they have a gen.
erous allowance of yardage, yet hang
in straight effects, many of them fine
ly plated with over-effects of paneied
TUNES. Panels of filet and tiny edg-
ings of Valenciennes are used. The
embroidery is not in heavy, solid de-
signs, but in the daintiest of jour
effects combined with satin dots.
Delicately tinted batistes and nets,
sheer linens, georgettes and voiles are
variously plated, tuniced, paneled,
tucked and embroidered.

At The Republic TomorroM.

The great photoplay, "Du Barry"
in which Theda Bara does her most
brilliant work. will appear at the Re-
public theatre tomorrow. This play
is the most wonderful creation of its
kind that has ever been presented on
the films. All that Miss Bara has
done only gives a suggestion of the
charm and elaborateness of this great
production.
The story is a historic one, which
many have attempted to write, and il
has even been seen upon the stage.
but it remained for the films and Miss
Bara to give to the world the revela-
tion of the character of this wonderful
woman. 1t is known that the great
actress spent long time in studying
the times of Louis XIV and the woman
who pervaded them, before she at
tempted the creation of this photo
play. There is no doubt that he has
succeeded in marvellous manner in
grssping the subject, and in putting it
upon the screen.
One Of the most remarkable fea-
lures of the play is the dresses that
Miss Bars wears, which were especial
ly designed by her, after long consul
tations with experts on the period of
Louis XIV These dresses are pecul-
lar, however, in one way. They
might easily appear in drawing rooms
of today. Every one of them is n
study of the art of womanly adorn-
ment, and is thing of beauty in it.
self.
MISS Bara has discovered and re-
vealed thousand little details of the
womanly toilette which will be i'm
mensely interesting to every woman.
These secrets are revealed upon the
screen ina most fascinating way, and
make the film additionally attractive
to all whom women charm.
In this play Miss Bars does her best
work, due to the fact that she has
grasped the possibilities of the drama
and has entered into it with a spirit
which only she possesses. There are
myriads of gorgeous scenes, each filled
with brillisncy and charm.

From the costumer.

"a woman who casts n large shadow
should never wear heavy satin hips.
Nor should she use shiny materials, for
with their every move they are so
many fingers pointing a derisiye look
at me- toward the would-be, sylphlike
one. Wear dun, finished goods but
censor with rigor worthy of your
Pilgrim forbears, the fichu, the fancy
neckwear Of any style, or the hair worn
low on the neck.
"1f the neck is short, and if one is of
much aWoirdupois, wear the hair high.
1t will add to the long line you crave.
Also never puff the hair around a full
face, else some one will be reminded of
n ring around the moon.
'If you have a short back, don't kid
yourself with the idea that bow there
on is cute, for it isn't, but rather gives
the impression of q tugboat carrying
freight instead of towing it.
"Suede shoes make fat feet fat, while
pale gray is best suited to the stout
woman, and she can wear that color
with impunity. Above all things in the
matter of dress, study your own type"

SOUNDS DOOM OF PETTIcoAT
Also Hybrid Called Pettibocker,
Supplant Usual undercarment-

Knockers and their kind have il all
their own way in these times. There
seems to be even an exaggerated ten
deney toward bifurcated garments and
apparently petticoats win soon be re-
duced to near the vanishing point. at
least so far as undergarments are con-
cerned, according to a Paris CORE
spondent.
Their place is being gradually
usurped by pajamas, boomers and COM
binations, with curious hybrid gar
ment called variously a pettibocker or
a pedelette.
Not but what there are still plenty
of pretty petticoats to be had, for con-
servatives must always be catered TO.
Petticoats of the slenderest and most
demure proportions venture TO display
themselves, but the exigencies of war
times have taken toll of frills and all
unnecessary fullnesS.
There is a wool shortage, conse-
Quently ii is decreed that only a linn
tied amount of wool shall be used for
a suit. Fashion makes virtue of
necessity and DEGREES in its turn that
the silhouette shall be sylphlike, which
makes a petticoat a superiority, not to
say an error, which brings us TO the
conclusion that the only correct I'M
dergarments are boomers and COM
binations.
There are bloomers for all occasions
from those for street wear of satin or
Jersey silk in black and ali the dark
and neutral shades to what might be
called evening boomers of pink satin
with lace frills. Pink satin. pink crepe
de chsne and pink jersey silk boomers
may be had. They are made quite
plainly or with only the hemstitched
finish which is used so much on the
better grade of underwear.
