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

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.

business sense.

team of bell ringers connected with
the parish church there.
Miss Elizabeth Woods, an American

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

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.

who have crossed the frontiers oi
