FRENCH ARMY HAS : INVADED ALSACE AVENGE DISGRACE OF HALF CENTURY AGO.?FRENCH ARE WELCOME. MARTIAL LAW ESTABLISHED French Losses "Not Excessive" But German Loss Said to Be "Very Serious." Paris.?The invasion of lower Alsace | by a French army under General Jo- j seph Jeffre, the French coramander-in-; chief, has awakened great enthusiasm throughout France. French military authorities, while reconizing the occupation of Altkirch ; and Muelhausen by French troops is | not of high strategical importance, I believe the successful advance of the French army far across the German i frontier will have considerable moral i effect. It is reported unofficially that Kolber,'farther to the north, has fallen into the hands of the French.' None of those three places was strong- J ly fortified and all lie outside the line i of real German defense, being guard- ] ^ ed as outposts of the strong fortified K cities. Their German garrisons nu | I airly strong but It was in ca-se of attack they ideavor to hinder the before falling back, where they are said; is east of Kolmar and led, while Strassburg,! 0 the north, the cen-j ggregation of German rly fortified and sup-! ?ared for a long siege. 1 of fighting between German troops state' losses were "not ex- 1 :hose of the Germans | the French to have 1 us."

I WIRE SERVICE TO BERLIN. Washington Inquiries About Amerl-i cans Taken As Spies. Washington.?Secretary Bryan an-] Bounced that the American govern-J ment was in communication with all. its European embassies and legations; end that every effort was being made] to care for Americans on the contl-1 nent. Communications with Ambassador Gerard at Berlin was established through Copenhagen. Mr. Bryan Immediately telegraphed inquiring 'about Archer M. Huntington, president of the American Geographical Society, and other Americans reported arrested as spies. Official dispatches revealed that many Americans had been arrested; or temporarily detained in Germany and that the first outbreak of hos- j tillties and during mobilization persons who talked English were under espionage. The state department announced i that an additions' *50.000 had been; cabled to Minister Stovall of Switzerland and that it was estimated 8.000 Americans wee in that country. Brooder Chicks to Hens. If brooder chicks aro to be given to ; hens, put each hen to herself, and ( give her the chicks at night. To turn I a lot of brooder chicks in one pen,! with several clucking hens, means i only a lot of frightened chicks. Somo; will be taken by one hen, one or two j by another, the rest by none. The consequence is that the neglected ones soon die, and the hen with too many not being able to hover the big lot, they die. too. CZAR PRAISES SLAVS. 8ays War Is Holy One and Prays For Victory.

SHOWS HER TRUE CHARACTER Floorwalker Has Observed That Worn- J an on Shopping Expedition Reveals Herself as She Is. Someone has said that you can always judge the caliber of a man by j the manner in which he amuses him- 1 self. My experience of 15 years as | floorwalker in one of the largest de- ( partment stores in the country has j convinced me that you can always judge a woman by the way in which * she shops?which, after all, is only an- ' other way of saying the manner in which 6he amuses herself. ' I have learned to realize that when i the average woman goes on a shop- ; ping expedition?when she has taken , up the trail of the bargain, determined ( to track it to its native counter??he brings all her cleverness into play, and , in the zest of the chase she is certain to reveal her true 6elf and uncon- ' seiously drop the mask she wears on . most social occasions. Always on the alert, always eager to bring down the game, big or little, with a timely purchase, these shoppers you will see browsing about the counters In and out of season. You will see them questioning the salesgirls, trying to learn in advance when re ductions are to be made. You will see them pick out some article and then come in day after day and watch its price tag. Then when the price is lowered to the point where they think it is a bargain, yoij will see them pounce on it and carry it home.?Woman's World. !

Reports reached hero by way oi London that according to announce ments in Berlin, Liege had fallen intc the hands of German troops. The sighting of a German cavalry patrol to the south of Namur is ev+ dence of the activity of the German forces in Luxemburg, showing they were reconnoiterlng to discover th I position of the defending armies. The retirement of German troops out oi range of the guns of the forts of Liege was supposed to indicate they were concentrating and waiting for rein forcemen'-s to renew the attack.
