vnmps are also extrcmmy smart, es-
pecially with the mnny all black and
white costumes of stripes, polka dots
and checks.
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-

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

Thi- niiiin result of the entrance of
italy into the war will most likely be
ibut iiic central empires will be at-
