French aviators operating from Nancy have mapped the entire Ger- man advance in front of Langton. Infantry and artillery are being hurled forward from Nancy to the aid of the Langion garrison. It is the in- tention of France to assume the in- itiative here and to drive back the in- vaders by sheer force. ‘The aviation corps will have its first real test there. Already it has cov- ered itself with glory, one French alr- man having flown over the German lines early to-day and dropped bombs In the camp, demolishing the engine of an armored train and killing the officer in command and half a dozen of his men. rine Committes to-day favorably re- ported a bill empowering the Presi- dent to suspend certain inhibitions against bringing foreign ships under American ‘Waiter H.

If the acts are confirmed they will amount to an act of open hostility on Germany's part. Officials have contended that the action of Germany in selzing a Wil- son liner in the Kiel Canal Sunday was an open affronty and this latest news simply added to the general feeling of exasperation. It was ox- pected that Premior Asquith would refer to it in his address to the Com- mons. No details of the identity of the steamers is as yet obtainable. They are believed to have been a part of the Great Central's transport fleet, which is used in the channel and North Sea transport trade. The German Embassy here to-day issued the following explanation of the recent interference with British ships by German war vessels. “This action was merely a police measure and there was no intention on the part of Germany of interfer- ing with property of the vessels. The Castro was ordered to Hamburg be- cause it was undesirable that any commercial vessel be in the Kiel Canal while, in the case of the Saxon, the German government had purchased the coal on board from the firm to which it was consigned and had al- tered the destination of the vessel to Hamburg."« KENNEDY INDICTMENT DISMISSED BY COURT Former Warden of Sing Sing and Purchasing Agent Are Now Free, The indictments charging former Warden John 8.

The Reason-—-Some years ago we import- ed a very superior grade of cotton velour from Germany. The mercerized yarn took the dye beautifully. The finished Lag had the appearance of a silk velour. The por- tieres into which we made them were quick- ly taken by our customers, and engaged the attention of American manufacturers, who spent much time trying to match the im- ported velour at its prieé or better. They came so close to it that we took u; the American velour and the portieres mate The Shades They stand up like silk plush— two greens, a blue, red, old rose, brown, mulberry and gold.
