Shop Notes.
Separate waistcoats of duvetyn are
sold for prices ranging up to SIS.
They are well made, of good ma,
terials and sometimes have 4 little
embroidery in self-color, or con-
trasting color, to add to their at.
tractiveness. They come in several
.olors, more Of them in tan than in
any other shade, as this goes well
with suits of almost any of the dark
colors used this year.
Face wells made of fne net and
mounted on wide collar of taffeta
or satin. which fastens snugly about
The throat, are sold to wear with
small hats. These wells keep their
place admirably and at the same!
time give very good finish to the
neck of the suit.
Evening hats of brocade and tulle
are worn. One. that attracted much
attention is made with a crown Of
dull gold and black brocade, with
a band about it of jet and pearl in
lieu of brim, interspersed with the
jet sequins.
Feather hats are one of the dis
tinctive touches in the millinary of
the autumn. They are not new-for,
indeed, this summer has shown
many small feather toques and tur-
bans. But they are, nevertheless, at
tracting good deal of attention.
The newest ones are large hats, all
covered with feathers. Usually they
are self-trimmed-trimmed, that is,
with feathers, though sometimes
velvet flowers are used.
Gountlet gloves are worn this
year with the wrist section pulled
over the cuff of the suit coat. These
gloves are high, as prices used to
go, but considering prices of every
other staple of dress they are not
tad.
Monkey fur is used differently this
season from the way it has been
used in other seasons. Perhaps that
IS why it runs good chance of GO
ing through another successful sea-
son. 1t is used in the form of fringe
more than in ans other way. Ons
of the smart new hats shows tasses
of monkey fur fringe fastened to the
crown, of brocaded silk, hanging at
one side.
Velvet grapes trim one of the
smart frocks of bfde serge. The
grapes are in natural colors, of pur-
pie, ranging almost from red to
hlue. They are made of cotton, so
that they stand out in real punches,
and offer really effective means Of
trimming.

getting lost was the result Of a flood
in the Conchos river and a map which
was defective. How they were forced

hours each day, and the treatment ac-
corded them. furnished an interesting
story which the young officers inter
polated with humorous incidents &C.
curing in the trip. Not only their
release, but an experience when they
were wading in the river, constituted
an unusually dangerous experience.
Lieut.. Davis was drawn into the
whirlpools Of the river and it was
only a few feet above some dangerous
rapids when the men left the water.
We protested occasionally" Peter
son said. "Renteria would listen and
then ask, Do you want to dieF Upon

bandit chase
Norman walker, Of the Associated
Press, told briefly OF the work OF Col
George Langhorne and Capt. Matlack

from his notes. which in themselves
constituted a thrilling story.

MANY OFFICERS
House Committee Alters
Plan to Make March and
Pershing Generals.

Washington. D. c., aug. z7.-Con-
siderable discussion occurred in the
house military committee on the
measures for reward OF Gen. PERISH
ing and Gen. March By authorizing
their permanent appointment as gem
erals Of the armies OF the United
States and the result was that they
were reported from the committee in
a form different from that at first
proposed As submitted by the war
department the draft Of the measures
did not provide for pay commensurats
with the rank sought 10 be bestowed,
but this was rectified in the commit
tee. and it also failed to carry out the
presidents desire that Gen. Pershing
be made senior TO Gen. March.
The most important change in the
measures by the committee, however,
was a redrafting OF the proposed leg
ton Of the officers by name, and yet
at the same time make it apply only
10 them, IL having been the custom
heretofore 10 formulate measures OF
that kind in that manner. Representa-
tive Kahn. chairman OF the commit

quandary as 10 rewarding other
officers whom he considers to merit

the matter later, there is not much
prospect OF permanent promotion OF

Lac May Prevent
Relocation Of
Soldier GraUeS
France Objects to Countries
Taking Bodies of Sol
diers Out of F rance.

Because Of a new law before the
French chamber Of deputies which. il
enacted. will prohibit the removal Of
bodies Of fallen soldiers from that re-
public. the work of bringing Ameri-
can soldiers bodies back to the Unit
ed States for burial is being greatly
delayed and It may even be discon-
tinued
Memoranda from the war depart
ment received by local military auth
critics Wednesday carried this infor-
nation along with the request that
families Of soldiers who died in
France be given assurance that the
United States would leave nothing
undone in an attempt to bring home
American bodies for permanent burial
in cases where it had been requested
Why France Objects.
The memorandum states that
France is the worlds largest grave
yard that the bodies Of 4.5e0. 900 men
killed in battle or who died ~ dis
ease are buried there and that the
sentiment Of France IS decidedly
against the removal Of these bodies.
The reasons assigned for the atti-
tude OF the French public are as fol-
lows:
France has been a nation Of mourn
Ing for four years To permit the
removal OF French dead. with conse-
quent funerals and renewed mourn
ing would only add to the long period
Of national depression and the French
are not inclined 10 extend privileges
to other nations which they deny
themselves.
May Spread Disease.
The removal and transfer of large
numbers Of bodies would produce cpl
denies and pestilence.
The memorandum states that the
removal OF American bodies since the
signing OF the armistice has been done
through diplomatic channels Tn de-
lay in many cases Is explained by the
statement that IL Incurred great work
and during the great war danger TO
locate, Identify. collect. embalm and
prepare the dead for removal. In
each case. however, coffin was pro-
vided for burial
The war department statement says
that many persons here with loved
ones dead in France have requested
they be left there. England. the state
ment says. does not contemplate
bringing home her war dead from
France
No Private Monuments
Also no private monuments will be
allowed over graves Vi Flanders field
for the reason that the government
wants no discrimination shown to the
men who gave their lives for their

While the president wishes to start
