Canton crepe refuses to be put
by as the warmer days appear
The frocks which were so much in
evidence in the early spring may
have given way to ginghams and
organizes, but little thing like
that could not down this lovely
material. Now it is being fashion
ed into lovely capes, suits and
coats for midsummer wear. The
canton crepe coat is a thing of
beauty, too, and it is far more
practical for wear over thin frocks
on cool summer evenings than any
heavy wool coat would be.
Pictured here is a smart after
noon or street suit fashioned of
lovely brown canton crepe bound
with self material Of lighter
shade. This type Of suit is excel
lent for the traveller, for it may be
packed easily or it may be worn on
train or boat. Either the tailored
blouse or the frilly waist is appro-
pirate depending on the occasion
and the coat may be used in place
of a silk sweater with one of the
new striped flannel skirts. Taken
all in all, a canton crepe suit is an
excellent investment.

TO AMERICAN ARMY
Sends Message on Occasion of
Anniversary of Declara-
tion of independence.
by The Associated Press.)

PARIS, July 3.-Marshal Foch of
France, commander-in- -chief of the allied
armies, today sent through The Asso-
ciated Press a message to the American
nation on the occasion of the anniversary
of the Declaration of independence.
The message embodies a tribute to the
American army, paid by the man who led
to victory the allied forces which that
army fought and to the people of the
United States as a whole for their "un-
paralleled effort in every branch of ma
tional activity which did so much to
bring ultimate triumph to the allied
arms.
1t was Germany's intention, says the
marshal, to settle the fate of the en-
tente before the United States could get
effectively into the struggle but America,
acting strongly and quickly, ruined the
plans of our adversary
Marshal Foch goes fully into the rec
ord and details the various steps through
which American help was given the
forces arrayed against Germany in the
great struggle. He points out the needs
of the allied fighting front in the early
stages of the crucial 1918 campaign, and
how, item by item, the American aid to
meet those needs was given-in men.
ships and supplies-as a result of the
concentrated national effort, and finally
the great and telling part played by the
American army organization on the bat
tlefields and behind the lines in France.

WASHINGTON, July 3.-The prac-
tlee OF exchanging weather reports by
wireless among vessels at sea from
which deductions can be made as to
the location and movement of storm
centers and the weather to follow IS
assuming large proportions, according
TO reports reaching the United States
weather bureau.
An example of the benefits to pe
derived was shown in a weather re-
port recently received by the bureau
from the British tank steamer Tus-
calosa covering the entire voyage of
the vessel from Hongkong to San
Francisco and including wireless re-
ports received from other ships along
the route. The bureau suggested to-
day that officers of other ships could
we'll collect and make use of such in
formation by wireless thus supple
menting the weather reports and fore
casts distributed by wireless by vari-

To meet the needs arising from the
growth of the practice, the weather
