LONDON. July q. (by mail.)-July'
sales In London prove that produc-
tion has caught up with demand in a
great many essentials.
For four years the July "sales" were
mere pretensea But this year the
careful purchaser has been able to OBJ
tain real bargains. The store-keepers
for some time past have been coming
to the realization that they must at.
tract customers. At one time they let
their customers feel that they were
doing them real favor by serving
them at all Competition was at a
standstill and prices continued to
soar.
The wild orgy Of spending which
was INDUCED in by the new rich is be-
ginning to wane. People are learning
the wisdom OF doing without those
non-essentials which they consider too
expensive. and this year the store
keeper has felt the draught"
Exchange Brings Prices Down.
In addition. the improved rate of ex-
change between Great Britain and Am

in women's wear. Chinese and jap

stockings have tumbled 30 per cent.
Imported meat il very cheap, and

In Northampton there are ware
houses full of boots awaiting purchas-

begging them to accept thei orders.
This year the dressmakers are doing
the soliciting.

but the Americans. too. There is no
tendency among the latter to pay

GENERAL FAYOLLE !.
PRAISES YANKEES
No Soldier Better Than American,
French Commander Says.
MAGNIFICENT FIGHTING MEN
Declares Some Were Brave Even to
Rashness-Taiks on Eve of His
Departure for Cleveland to
Attend Legion Convention.

Paris, Sept. 1S.-"The American
doughboy need not take off his hat to
any soldier of any of the armies en-
gagged in the great war. There were
some as good as he, bat none better"
Thus spoke Gen. Marie Emile Fay
ollie of the French army, who in the
closing phases of the war used in the
counter-offensive against the Germans
alongside the French troops seven
American divisions.
The general was talking on the eve
of his departure for the United States,
where he is to represent the French
army at the convention of the Ameri-
can Legion in Cleveland.
Americans Simply Magnificent.
1.-THE Americans were simply mag
nificent," continued General Fayolle.
"As a matter of fact, some of them
were brave even to such an extent as
one might call it rashness.
you know, it was under my COM
mand that the Americans received
their baptism of fire at Cantigny.
Then again on July Is they were with
me in the offensive between scissors
and Chateau-Thierry."
Magnificent! Marvelous!" General
Fayolle kept repeating.
"Your soldiers" the general went
on, "were not only men as regards
courage, but also in endurance and I'M
failing good humor. But there was
one branch in the military service in
which they were totally deficient, and
it was one of the most important in
military science.
'"They could not cook, or they were
too busy fighting to bother about such
trifles as cooking"
Happy to Meet Americans.
The general said this with a merry
twinkle in his eye. Then he added:
81 shall be happy to meet the Ameri-
can poilu, who were my comrades in
battle"
General FayOlle will be accompanied
to the United States by Lieut.. Col. Re-
quin, a, member of Marshal FOch's
mission to America, and also Lieut..
Soubiran, who will be his interpreter.
This will be the generals first visit
to the United States, and he expressed
pleasure at having the opportunity to
see what he termed that wonderful
country"-New York and it's skyscrap-
ers and other cities.
The general is tall and straight. He
stands six foot and is youthful Of spir-
it in spite of his sixty and more years.
He said he would study the Organiza-
ton of the American Legion for the
purpose of ascertaining whether many
of the organizations of the French
army cannot be grouped into sim
liar body.
