"To doubt that the Culled Mates-will
be victorious against Getmanj is u
sjmptom either of iiii-Anicrtiunlsin or

This was the reply of Mron T, Het
ikk, former ambassador to 1'runc", to a
Question as to the result of the war. Mr.
Herrlck had lunch this afternoon with

mission of the Navy Department, and

The lunch was served In the pilvate
lhambcrs of tho judges of the Court
ot Appeals In tho Federal Building.
'To ask such a question would In
dicate that there is some doubt ns to
tho result." the former ambassador slid.
It was commented that them uie,
those who do doubt.
"Well, then," he teplled "I sa that

cannot see, personally hoxx" she can con
tinue to bear the burden of expense and
fihanco her continuance of the xiai."
Mr. Herrlck could not say too much
in praise of. the spirit of the Clench
vnder the strain of war. He said theie

Tho letter described the bloxrlng off of
the major's right leg during the battlo

the hum of cheerfulness without any
thought of the effects upon tho wounded
man. It ends:

"Readers of 'Mr. Britling' and
'Christine' will be delighted with
'The Tree of Heaven' by May Sin
clair. They may even go so far as
the reviewer and proclaim it that
quite unexpected thing, a better
book than either. A gen
uinely big novel of the war by a
woman writer. A work
of consummate romantic art."

A S THE month draws to a close, each
Jr' succeeding day sees more and more
people here to take advantage of this
great February Sale. Many Of them have
visited other stores in this locality and
many have come from distant points
and these are most impressed and easiest
served, for by their comparison of values
and varieties, the Van Scivcr Store is
far in the lead. Here they see practi
cally all that they have previously seen
in perhaps a dozen stores, and, in addi
tion, countless suites and pieces of rare
charm and unusual design; many of
them exclusive to this largest furniture
Store in America. And their comparison
of prices and quality shows, too, the
sound economy of dealing here, all the
more pronounced in these days when
thriftfulness is the keynote in the home.
Reductions of 20 to 33'3 on Floor
Coverings Valued at Over $250,000
In many eases the prices quoted below are actually lower than the wholesale cost today,
owing to the fact that we anticipated market conditions and placed orders with the leading
nulls of the country over two years aRo. In every case, our prices, quality considered, represent
the utmost saving economies which, from all indications, may not be within the bounds of possi
bility for years to come. With so vast and aried a stock of floor coverings as ours; It is Impos
sible to enumerate the great range of -values, and we merely offer a few representative items:
