Practically Subscribed in Full _ }daterview designers and: costumers at 31 NOW IN THE LIMIT CLUB Bismarck has put over’ its biggest drive.. Before: night rings down the curtain on. the, War. Savings Stamp campaign, the capital: city will have subscribed approximately 100 per cent Of its::$175,000- quota of War Savings Stamps. Originally ‘regarded as a ‘tujfie, a side issue for the-kiddies, and something not of sufficient importance to occupy the attention of full-fledged business men, the War Savings Stamp developed ten days: ago into the big- Gest. issue of the war to date for Bis- -‘marck, . Committees were called to- gether, and: County Chairman George F...Dullam and.-City Chairman R. M. . Bergeson explained the ‘proposition. They made it clear that Uncle Sam ex- pected Bismarck and Burleigh county to. buy their: $20: per capita worth of Savings Stamps and that #f.they were not bought now, the city: and county would be asked to subscribe jugt so mitch more in the Fourth Liberty loan, to say nothing of enjoying; the un- pleagant satisfaction of knowing that Bismarck-..and,. Burleigh had fallen down for the first time singe the be- ginning of: the war. Re The. real campaign opened ‘Tuesday niorning.

Fashion Expert. New York, July 20.—The- autumy Fashion. crop is ripe in New York city. Costume designers blush with pride as the product of their seasy’s work wins. plaudits from buyers al- ready selecting what you and I :wili! wear in September. :Just» to give Tribune readers a | what fn fashion, | came down here to the very’ opening of the season---and found a large quantity of immensely Interesting fashion facts! Fabrics, colors. lines, — trimmings furg ,bogts. and lingerie were marshal- ‘ed’ for my inspection in bewiltering and-.delectable ~ profusion. until the wail of “shortage” seeme? absurd, and the declaration that “there's nothing new under the sun” was cuinpletely re- futed. : K Fashion hunters this year expect to be met with statistics and apologies for. the wood shortage and find, in- stead, that there is still a remarkable vatiety and plenty of wool materials, although most are “silk kand wool.” Prices are’ high, because there is noj telling where the next wool is to come from, but it.is still possidle to obtain Jersey cloth and men’s.wear serge from stocks already on mand.’ © And when ‘wool DOES completely disappear, as it may eventually, the wonderful heavy new silks and satins suage our grief and meet our conven- ience. The orient is doing its bit ia creating very lovely new, crepes, and an extremely heavy tussah may. fill the place of the once indispensable serge. ® f With an eye to the tmportance of. heavy fabrics for outdoor garments, and silks for house and street. wear, I began my fashion quest by getting solid facts about materials, and here they are. Rest content that they are up-to-the-minute and authoritative: Jersey cloth and men's wear serge remain’ the favored materials for. suits. Then there are velours delaine, velveteen, velvet, velours de cash mere, zibeline and the other “silver- tone” cloths, ‘tricotine and tricolette. Paris especially favors the wide-awake tricotine, broadcloths, woolen repps; heather and Scotia, mixtures, which will- be made’ up with leather trim- mings and which figure among the Séason’s smartest suggestions; sev- eral new cashmere cloths in heavy weights, and the variou suede cloths. For coats there will be pompom, Bo- livia and the duvetyns, with wondrous- ly lovely velvets: for evening coats. Plush coats also: will: be used, bu: these are few and high priced.

The answer to this is not simple because fighting in Civil war days and'in 1918 is by no means thé same thing, says.Don Martin in the New York Herald.’ Whenever the Yankees have had an opportunity, to meet the enemy in a straight-out/ hand- to-hand fight the American has demon- atrated that he is a chip off the old block, and that, bear in mind, is saying a good deal. f People who have not been face to face with the war that hus ravaged Europe for nearly four years must of necessity have but a poof.conception of just what war in these days ts like. Read what an officer from a Southern state, who served with dis- tinction in the Philippines and ‘is serving with distinction now, says about it: “If there were to be a few great battles Ike Gettysburg, Spottsylvanta, Wilderness, Chancellorsville, Cold Har- bor or Antietam it would be a differ- ent proposition. The boys would know that the killing would occur at certain times, on certain days and the victims would be ‘recorded as. having fallen in some’ great battle about which all. coming generations would read. - But “here there will be only a few great battles known as such by. name. ‘Thefe will be the Marne, Somme, Aisne, Verdun, Ypres, Picardy and some-others, of course, but the millions and millions of casualties which this war has rolled up will rep- resent for the greater part side line fighting and little subsidiary struggles abot which’ no one ‘will ever hear. “4 Wivision of any army might be holding part of a sector—a quiet sec- tor, ‘too. There would be no great clash between the opposing forces. There would be raids, meetings of pa- trols, sniping, deaths by artillery and gas, accidents—a thousand and one things, and at the end of a year the number. of casualties in this division) would be as great as if the unit had been in a great battle.
