The New Wooley Boy Suits For Fall Are Here Mothers should see the splendid showing of high grade "Wooley Boy" Suits for Fall wear. Never before have we received such a remarkable assemblage of these superbly tailored garments for boys. All of these have fully cut knicker pants and fully lined, and come in a large range of patterns. The prices, too, are very modest. $3.50 to $7.50 Kuiiiu'tt is in the peach harvest with all their neighbors helping them and then they need more help to handle the larc. luscious fruit.

Between 800 and 900 dead or wounded Germans were counted in one street. Karl Kitehener, the HntlMi secretary for war, gives in detail the part play ed by troops lu the operations in D I glum and France. These operations extended from August H to August 26. The condition and spirit of the British troops at the front are descrlb ed aa excellent, and reinforcements have been sent up to more than fill the gaps created by casualties The report indicates that the British losses were suffered not because of any fault of morale, but because up parently the Germans did them the honor of masalng an overw helming force against them I'nder tins ores sure the relatively small British force, says Lord Kitchener, was crumpled up. The Germans are described M making a lavish expenditure of men to insure success at this point. Mam a n.- an hm I flow i i an 1 ii.
