This has proved to be a season in
which more is required of frocks and
suits than'in pre-war times. With the
very good intention of saving wool or
labor, clothes have been created to
answer for different sorts of wear, to
fit in with varying background, and to
make it possible to be well dressed on
contracted allowance of money. If
one were to try to define the one thing
that distinguishes this seasons ap-
parel from all others it is likely that
the wearableness and adaptability of
outer garments would be selected as
the outstanding features. The street
suit that is easily converted into an
afternoon dress, and the frock that Is
quickly adapted to street wear, are
f1ourishing in the good opinion OF
women.
The effort of designers to make
these two-in-one garments has result
ed in some original and handsome
street clothes as well as in lovely
frocks that do duty for day and eve
ming wear. Now that the war is over
there may be no further need for such
economies, but some of the novel
street garments that were inspired by
them are sure to remain with us. The
handsome and original "trotteur'
which is pictured here is an example
of fine designing-a ''going about cos
tune that will bear comparison with
the best of street SUITS. 1t is graceful

when a few units annexed homeless
French boys who happened around
their camp. But the life was too at
tractive to be confined to the home

with their parents o. provided for in
orphanages, deserted these homes to
become American soldiers proteges.
At one aviation instruction center
ten boys were found, each supported
by an aviation squadron, which, by
way of tailor-made uniforms and
other means, was trying to outdo the
other in caring for their mascot. Most
of these boys were going to school
but-they were smoking cigarettes.
General Pershing issued an order
prohibiting the adoption" Of more
boys and requiring that all those be-
ing maintained as mascots be returned

from their mud screen shouted greet
binary Flanders mud would even
squirt up to first floors of houses many
of the people, learning from expert
ence, had taken to second stories, from
which they clapped their hands and
waved flags. The only damage we saw
in Ostend was the wreckage of the
marine and railway stations and the
shattered glass in buildings on the sea
front, due to the air conclusions from
British monitors pounding the retreat
ing enemy.
The piers leading out into the sea
from the harbor basin showed effects
of British shells and bombs, and near
the end of the pier was the gallant old
Vindictive, after it's magnificent part
in the Zeebrugge bottling-up exploit,
where she served as a boarding ship
and carried the great superstructure to
permit British marines to climb on the
Zeebrugge mole, had been filled with
concrete and sent in to block Ostend
as U-boat and destroyer base. The
Vindictive made it impossible for slz-
able ships to get into Ostend, and the
Germans, just before the retreat, tried
to complete the work by sinking
mail ship alongside the Vindictive.
However, there is still room at high
tide for small relief ships and barges.
In fact, we saw converted trawler
of the American Red Cross already In
the harbor, as well as many similar
British ships.

were in a straight row, and behind
them were a half-dozen larger ones to
protect the rear.
When we had passed the desolate
waste Of water, mud and swamp reeds
and got into other lowlands that had
been drained and tiled we saw more
pill boxes in a reserve line. A Bel
gian peasant was using one as a
chicken house, and the low apertures
for machine guns lent themselves
readily as entrances and exits for the
fowls. Descendants of these chickens
should be in the old family home for
a thousand years hence, or, say, mil
lion years.
The scores of drainage sluices across
the roads had all been covered with
temporary bridges by the Belgian en-
gineers following up the German de-
stroyers.
Through the suburbs Of Ostend we
passed cheering Belgians dressed for
church. The people were so prayer
fully grateful to the British that they
did not seem to mind the mud we spat-
tered all over them. Many Of them

decided the funeral Of the victims
could be utilized for propaganda pur-
poses. He got a wreath and a pho
tographer, and while the mourners
were about the grave, made them line
up, put himself in the center and had
the scene recorded. On September 8,
1917, allied airmen dropped bombs at
the Bassin and were fired at from ST..
Croix. Shells fell in Bruges, killing
a dozen people. The German officers
refused to allow funeral mass notices
to be posted unless the line "killed
by English shells" was added. The
Belgians refused and the notices were
torn down.
Two Germans constructed bomb
proof cellars accommodating 200 to
1000 persons each. While excavating
they came upon 5000 hidden bottles
of wine belonging to M. Ganshof. The
wine was taken without payment.
The bomb-proofs were for Germans
and people in small houses without
cellars had to take their chances at
night, although they could use the
"public refugees" in daytime.

chimes.

: With the British-American Armies.
German deviltry seemed to know no
bounds in the last days of fighting on
the British front, after the linden
burg line had been shattered. They
attached grenades to the bodies of
dead Huns left behind in the German
retreat, so that when the bodies were
lifted the grenades exploded, killing
or wounding the bearers.
Near the town Of LIE Cateau, num-
ber Of Australian stretcher bearers
were killed by these grenades in at
tempting to remove some German
dead from the field from in front
Of an American machine-gun position.
Thereafter, no Australian would put
hand on dead German. In some
cases the bodies were dragged to their
burial places by means of a long
rope, which allowed the stretcher
bearers to keep out of range of any
exploding hand grenades.
The Americans, on the other hand,
hit upon a plan of making the Ger
man prisoners bury their own dead.
In one instance, a Boche prisoner was

summarily shot because he refused to
remove the body of one of his dead
companions. An examination of the
body later led to the discovery that
it was mined. The German was aware
Of this fact and refused to touch it.
In one small town evacuated by the
Germans, many Of the beds were
found to be mined. An American Off
Ger, tired and worn by hard fighting,
sought rest on lounge in room pre-
vfously occupied by German officer.
The lounge blew up and he was in
stantly killed.
Another officer picked up a pair of
field glasses, left by the Germans, and
was adjusting the focus when the
glasses exploded in his hands and
blew away part of his face.
The Huns had become adept in the
nefarious business of making internal
machines, mines and time fuses, and
there was scarcely an area where the
electrical and engineering experts Of
the allies did not find some new form
of their fiendish ingenuity.

EMULATES HORATIUS OF OLD
Chaplain Holds the Bridge as Bravely
as Did the Roman
Captain.

Cleveland, O.-"Horatius at the
Bridge" had nothing on Rev. James M.
Hanley of Cleveland, chaplain of a reg
fment in France. According to stories
drifting back from the front, the chap
lain was wounded while holding a
bridge the Huns sought to take. AS it
Is related here by friends of the for
mer priest, a captain and a few SOL
diers were detailed to hold the bridge
against heavy odds. The captain said
it couldn't be done without more men.
"Why, l can hold that bridge with
club" Hanley is said to have declared.
"Then do it," the captain answered
as he hurried off for re-enforcements.
The soldiers, inspired by the action
of the chaplain, rallied around him and
held the contested bridge until the
captain returned with more men and
made the bridge safe.

Englishman Tells of Four Years
in Bruges During 0ccupa-
ton.
CRUELTY OF KULTUR RULE
Determined Efforts by German Officers
to Break Spirit of Belgian Resi-
dents Prove Futile-Fined
lndiscriminateIy.

London.-Life under the German
heel is wildly portrayed in The diary
Of Mr. Humphrey Page, an English
man who lived four years in Bruges
during the German occupation. Events
are recorded showing determined at
tempts by the German officers to break
the spirit Of the Belgian residents
proved futile. The ramifications Of
kultur-rule also are shown. Here are
some Of the events, sketchily told:
In September, 1915, the Bruges city
council was directed to find speci-
fed number of workmen for the Ger
mans under penalty of $4,000 fine for
each days delay. All who refused to
work were imprisoned.
M. Schrauvune, leading attorney,
discussing this affair with Belgians
in a cafe, said he would not work for
the Germans, and considered Bel
gians who did as towards. The next
day the attorney was summoned be-
fore the German commander, fined
$3.50, sent to Sedan for six months
hard labor, but never was returned.
There were all sorts Of petty
tyranny. French and English adver-
tisements on buildings had to be re-
moved. Even printed funeral notices
in French were forbidden.
Ban on Kings Picture.
No resident over ten years old was
allowed to be in the streets without
a passport containing his photo. 1t
was a punishable offense to exhibit
portraits of, the Belgian king and
queen. German officers stood at
church doors to confiscate coins, worn
as brooches or lockets, bearing the
likeness of the Belgian king.
No one was allowed to be on the
streets after p. m. Occasionally,
when the whole town was punished
for some alleged offense, every resi-
dent had to remain indoors after 6
o. m., an especial hardship for the
Door in summertime.
One Of the sources Of income to the
German overlords was fines inflicted
on persons whose watches or clocks
