In spite of the Oxfords return the

pump still lingers in the good graces and on the graceful feet of the woman of fnsliion and it, also, like the Ox- ford is most popular in the combina- tion of two colors, the back part kid or bronze vamp and the colored buck- ‘skin top. Pumps and Oxfords in en- tire buckskin of grey, tan, bronze of white are also very good and fine Rus- sian leather shoes both high and low in the delicate shades of champagues, pearl grey and cream are to be much worn in out tone schmes or in combi- nation with the dark or darker leath- ers.

All black patent kid slippers with

two or three narrow straps over the instep are offered for wear with light tinted and white silk hosiery and the all bronze slippers with straps is also used successfully with the light toned stockings.

it is amazing with what tenacity

the high .shoe clings like ivy to the well rounded limb. it seems loath to give the low shoe a chance. They cer- tainly come high both lguratively and montearily, the most swagger of them for they are made of the finest softest ltussiau leather in either white or chauipagne colors offset with tiny tips or black patent kid and a border of the same up each side of the lacing and around the top. You are bound to take more than one last look at these striking last fashions.

For evening and dance wear the

plain satin slipper strapped or in sim- ple pump form has the stamp of mod- ish approval. It comes in all colors of satin and it is equally smart to match your slippers to your gown or to wear ii contrasting shade.

Perhaps the newest and most uni-

que of the evening slippers is a model with its upper of one shade and its vamp of a contrasting lighter tint braided in horizontal stripes with braid the same color as the darker uppen

Evening slippers of brocade and me-

tallic tissues are decidedly passe but beaded ones of bronze still toe the fashion line.

Sport shoes of white buckskin with

soles equally snowy of white felt or white rubber are extremely effective this year with trimmings and band- ings of colored leather. Usually these colored trimmings are of mah- ogany colored or green leather but nny colors are permlssable.

GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION OF

THE MILITARY SITUATION

(By E. Alex;n_der .Powell in New

Drk World)

On the French battlefront, vis Paris

June 28.-In the past three months I have visited every section of that great line of battle which stretches its unlovely length across Europe, from the Channel to the Alps, like some monstrous and deadly snake.

Not only have I been permitted to

see a very great deal which liss been denied to other . but I have learned much of what is really happening along that battle line from th'e offl- cers and men who are holding it.

Now I nm going back to America.

When I reach there people are going to ask me certain questions. As I know perfectly well what those ques- tions will be, I am going to answer them to the best of my ability before- hand. Here they are.

How long is the war going to

last?

I do not know. No one knows.

Every officer and man with whom I have talked in their armies agrees that the spring of 1916 will see prac- tically no change in the western battle line. That there is to be another winter campaign is a fore- gone conclusion. Every one expects lt and is preparing for it,just as they expect another winter.

The allies have ordered enormous

quantities of winter clothing sind in the Argonne and the Vosges the French soldiers are already hard at work building warm and dry habits- tions. I might add that the Ger- mans do not show the slightest sign ot' weakening. _

What is the cause of the present

deadlock?

The trenches occupied by the op-

posing armies are. to all intents and purposes, forts, and -these forts have been rendered so nearly ini- preguable by applied science that to take them would entail ii sacrifice of life which none of the warring na- tloiis can afford.

Hence the armies remain hidden

and almost stationary in subterranean caves and labyrinths. each waiting for its opponent to weaken.

Why have the French not tiikeu the

offensive?

Because the Germans are so

strongly iiitreiiched that the cost ‘in lives of breaking through their lines would stagger the nation. If neces- sity requlrcd it, such a sacrifice would be made, but it is felt that it would be unjustified when shells and patience will eventually achieve the same result.

“The duration of the war," the

general commanding the French armies in Alsace said to me, "en- tirely depends upon liow fast we can kill oil’ the Germans. Their army has reached and passed its maxi- mum strength, so that every soldier that we kill makes it that much weak- er. Oui' plan, therefore, is to kill as many as possihlc of the enemy while the some time conserving our own men."

What is the condition of the

French army

lt could not be better. The men

are as keen as razors and as hard as nails. They are well fed, well clothed, and afforded every protec- tion that human ingenuity can ile- vise. They seein absolutely confident of the ultimate success, then they admit frankly that they have a long hard job in front of them.

What do the French think of Gen-

eral Joffre'!

They do _not consider him a mili-

tary genuis by any means, but they have implicit confidence in him. Par- ticularly, the government, which knows him to be eminently "safe,"

How many troops has England in

France?

About 750,000. What is the condition of the

British army?

lt is a new army. _ It is without

experience and it is without experi- enced regiments to stiffeu it and give it conflfldence, for the regular army which England .sent into France last August has ceased to ex- ist. The old regimental names re- main, but the oflicers and men who composed those regiments are today in the hospitals. The losses suffer- ed by the British army in France have been appalling. The West Kent regiment, for example, has been three times wiped out and three tinis reconstituted.

Why are the British holding only

40 miles of battle front, as compared with 17 held by the Belgians and up- ward of 500 by the French?

Firstly-Because the British army

is composed of green troops, while the French riinks thanks to the Uni- _versal Service law, are filled with men all of whom have had three years with the colors.

Secondly--Because the Br\tLsh

_sector is by far the most difficult portion of the western battle front to hold not only because of the con- figuration of the country, which of- fers little natural protection, but be- cause lt lies squarely athwart the road to the Channel parts. It is to the Channel ports that the Germans are going if men and shells can get them there.

Thirdly-The -fighting is a more

desperate and relentless nature along the British front than else- _where, because the Germans have n deeper hatred for the British than for all their other enemies put to- gether.

Do the French want the United

States to enter the war?

Generally speaking, they don't

care. The government and the mili- tary authorities are afraid that if the United states should enter the ,war it would result in cutting off the allies' _supplies of ammunition. Moreover, they say quite frankly that, in her present state of unpre- paredness, they don't see how she could be of any assistance anyway.

matic victory involved in the entrance lol’ Italy into the Quadruple Eutenic. iTTlie event was not unexpected, but the long delay had begun to scent very long, writes Nuboth Hcdiii t`roiii Paris. The Russian retreat, instead of the expected advance into llungiiry luis been a heavy blow. it is no wou- iler the italian alliance rejoiced thc 'hearts of the French people.

During the early days of the war

there were Italian flags paraded on the Paris baulevards in front of tho Eagle Bureau. They were designed to uttarct volunteers for the Frencli army. Now the italian flags have been waved in conjunction with the French and British as that of an ally. As soon as the ltaliau war ileclaratioii was out there were trains ot' taxi-cabs, from which the Allied flags were wav- ed. italian and French songs were sung, and the Whit Sunday and Whit Monday holiday crowds in front of the cafes acclaimed the tricolor of Italy, ‘

A few days later the public build-

ings, such as the Chamber oi' l)epntii»s and the Ministry of Marine on Place de la Concorde. were dei-oriiteil with clusters of flags, in which the italian colors had been given a place. At sessions in the Deputies the Primi- Minister and the President of the Chamber have made addresses amid great enthusiasm, welcoming italy into the fight for "civilization" against the German “Kulture." 'Flicre linvr been exchangm of feliclziiions lic- tween President Poiiiciiri- and the King of Italy; between the i-liairiniiii of the Municipal ttoiini-.il of Paris and the Mayor of Rome; between the French Miuister of War and thc Ital- ian, and/ in a special niossnge to the army the advent oi’ the new ally has been acclaimed. .

As to what plan of caiiipnigii Iinly

offered few coiijeciiircs. Those who have expressed opinion lu the uiutttr scenito think that tierinnuy and Aus- tria will stay ou the ilcfeusive against italy until a decision luis been obtnlii- od ol.-icwlii-re, though tlierc are some that think ii great demonstration will be tried against Italy in order to ninki- an object lesson of her for the in-iiciit. oi' nations that arc still neutr- al. Some German critics have been quoted as predicting that Italy would soinl troops through France. As a matter oi' fiici, the reserve is more likely to be true, both as regards men and artillery. llnviug a preponder- nncc oi' numbers, it is to the advant- age of the Allies to have the battle lint- cxicnilcil as far as possible. In l~`riiu<-i- thi- armies already here are fully nlilc to cope with the Grmans de- l'eiisivi\ly. whatever they may ol' may not lic iiblc to do on the offensive. il-‘i-iiiirc linil sent armies against Aus- iirin, through northern Italy before. |'l‘lii» iiiittlcs of Solferino and Magenta are still within the memory of man.
