Genonil von Illndenburg Is forcing tho
British to pay a toll of Uvea entirely dis

on tho Homme front, military authorities
declare. Today ho had their lino under
terrlllo flro, with the prospect that the enor
mou.i casualties which they suffered in
making their Initial advance would be re
peated. All reports from tho front say the
British attack was entirely without regard
to a Encrlflco of tiumaii life. Tho Ger
man troops bitterly defended their line,
despite almost coniplcto destruction of their
positions.
Advices today from tho front say oHlcera
all admit that by concontratloiiiof enormous
stores on a small front and launching of
a gigantic attack, tlio enemy could win n
few trenched and villages. But these nt
taclts would bo so costly thnt they could

SPIRIT OF DEMOCRACY
IN HOME DECORATIONS
Art Critic Defines Present Day
Temper in University
Lecture
Decorations In centuries past echoed the
aplrlt of tho people. Tho spirit of ench
wiih then and 13 now iccordcd In man's
handicraft.
This wns tho thought brought out by
Sumner Roblnaon, nrt critic and lecturer,
In the course of nn address delivered lact
night at tho Central V. M. C. A. Auditorium.
Tho Byzantine style of art, he said, ex
pressed vigor, form and color, while tho
Louis XV style exprensed a certain volup
tuousness, femininity of line, liuoyancy,
abandon nnd wnnton frivolity.
With tho Dutch, tho speaker declared,
wo associate a certain sturdlness of form
and construction and n quaint Robrlcty of
dccoratlvo charactor. Ho contended there
fore thnt our decorntlve stylo becomes a
rich and beautiful lamningn of expression.
In the course of his nmlrass Mr. Robinson,
among othor things, sold:
"Today wo havo u domoeracy of nrt, If
thero over was one. Through tho democracy
of travel, of learning, of commerce we have
a whole world to draw from and tho In
spiration nnd examples of a hundred nges.
Tho Iccluro was one of a aeries given un
der tho miFplccfl of tho University Kxterj

Christmas Gifts That Give Permanent
Pleasure to Your Friends and Are
a Lasting Remembrance
of Yourself
There is no doubt that the day of the gewgaw
Christmas gift is rapidly fading and that there has
developed a strong, wholesome tendency to give those
things which, whether inexpensive or otherwise, are
useful and durable. In other words, we are beginning
to realize more and more that a gift should meet some
specific requirement and be available for some definite
purpose if it is to serve as an enduring" and pleasant
remembrance of ourselves. In this respect the service
of the Van Sciver store is especially helpful, for fur
niture, furnishings and the almost innumerable home
utilities comprised in this category make the most
acceptable kind of gifts. Here we offer but a few suggestions, present but a few
pieces from our enormous and varied stock. They will serve to show, however,
how very materially we can assist you in your Yuletide preparations. Gifts that
are unique, artistic and useful are here in vast assortment, and the name Van
Sciver will be a recognised sign of quality in the gift and a token of discrimina
tion and thoughtfulnes3 in the giver.
