after the conquest of UelRlum the re.

eame the miracle of the Marne, the

annihilation of the AuMrlan ami) at

and getting down to business at once.
It prevented us from realising that we i
xvere In for a war which was going to
absorb not merely the energies of mil '
navy and of our urm.v hut the whole '
Yltallty and resouues of the luittou
I
Knem)' Power Dwlnilllns
In the first place theie Is no quis-
lion that the emm.v's milltar) power Is
dwindling His losses since he started i
on July 15 Hie great offensive which was 1
to finish the war victoriously for him
have been enormous. In these two and
""a half months the Allies have captured
254,000 prisoners on the western front
alone. These men wen- all taken on
the battlefields, and with ver) few excep
tions would be guide one men I doubt
If the whole Herman annual contingent
of recruits today pioduces 350,000 clasiS,
one men. To the prisoners must be
added the lysses in killed and wounded,
and there, at a moderate estimate, would
not be fewer than four limes as many
as the prisoners, say l.oon.noo
So In two and a half months uermany
'has lost on the western front not less
than 1,250,000 men To her annual con
tingent of nineteen-) ear-old boys, she
hai only her recovered wounded and
Ick to add; and as these are not nearly
'aufliclent to make good these losses and
keep her armies up to strength, she lias
therefore had to live on her capital since
July 15. Bhe has had to break up
twenty-one divisions In order to till the
ranks ot the remainder, and at the same
time to reducle the size of her battalions
In thet. remaining divisions; that ts to
ay. she haii had to reduce her military
establishment on the western finnl by
not fewer than 600,000 men.
' Vhll thts ha been ffulnir nn tile
Americans have been pouring into
France. Fiom reports which we have
received, we, may estimate the number
of American soldiers who have com
pleted their training nnd gone to the
front during1 this period of two and a
half months at about 500,000 The
balance of strength has theretote
changed In favor of the Allies to the ex
tent of approximately 1,000,000 men;
and this process which will (ontlnue until
the end of the war, the dlmunltlou of
the enemy's forces. Is the key to what
has been happening recently In France
tnd Belgium.
5 The, Germans, being unable to make
t;ood their losses, have been forced to
try to reduce their commitments When
S"och hurled them back ftom the Marne
to the Alsne, they attempted to shoiteu
their fronts on the Homme and In Flan
dera: but before they could do this In
their own time and In their own way,
they were anticipated and defeated by
,hlr Douglas Halg. They then hoped to
be able to stand for the winter In the
Hlndenburg sjstem, nnd once more they
have been defeated by the skill or the
Allied leadership und by the splendid
fighting or the Allied troops.
The part taken by the Hrltlsh arm) In
this flehtlnc Is the most glorious In its
a :.hni. Mstnrv. Though In strengtli con.
'J? alderably less than half of th total
'''"forces of the. Allies In the west, our
to army, which has been ngnting t-oiititiu-
" n oualy since -August 8. has leconquered
t ' 'considerably more than half of the
&? ground won and captuied more than
M "V C half of the prisoners taken. The men
'fciwho have done this are those who In the
"ft. aprlns had to bear the full weight of
y'the enemy's attacks, made at the time
; when' he was at nis greatest sciengin

) .question Is, when will It come? To an

The 20th Centuiy tendency is to combine the artistic with the
practical, to adapt thc finest creations of old-time artists and
artisans to the exigencies of modern life and modern homes and
here, the Vaji Sciver Store, with its truly marvelous display of
furniture and furnishings offers a service unique and invaluable.
It is, indeed, a fine art fitting up the home harmoniously, with due
regard to comfort and utility, but an art in which we have been
specialists for over 'a generation. And all that we have learned
from precedent and practice is devoted to the service of those who
wisely place their home-furnishing problems in our hands.

A HE women becoming more or
less luxurious in their tustes?
. Their outer garments tire plain
antj matter of fact, but the innate
longing for truly feminine apparel
crops out again in underwear. Milady
has ulmost forgotten the touch of
cotton or linen, and demands the
, daintiest of silk underwear, which
she finds at B. F. Dewces. 1122
j Chestnut Street. While or flesh-pink
vests, union suits, envelope chem
ises, camisoles and knickers, s-ome
, plain pud others trimmed with lib-
. bon or lace, all nre there. One pink
set with insets of lnce nnd edged
with the finest lace, put on slightly
full to give it the desired llufnncss,
is truly ravishing, and so fine in tex-

sure when thc
irlish firm chose the name
i "Canterbury" for their cloths they
had in mind Chaucer s lines:
"And specially from every shire's
I end,
Of England unto Canterbury they
' wend."
' They knew thc uttractinc powers
of the name, and now that Canter
bury Cloth suits are on Mile here
, others will feel the psychological in
I fluencc, and wend their way to Mac
Donald & Campbell's, 13S4 Chestnut
Street, sole agents for. the .cloth in
Philadelphia. Although Canterbury
Cloth suits nre ready to wear, they
nie unusual in tailoring, fabric and
individuality, the cloth being made
of the finest soft Austialian wool,
dyed in rich greens, browns and
biues. Only ono suit conies in each
pattern, so no man need fear meet
ing his double when trying to cut a
dash.
NOW thnt the influenza has
taken up its abode nmong us,
nnd that o many of our
i friends are its unwilling entertain
ers, baskets of fiuits for the victims
arc most fitting gifts. They should,
however, be selected with n view to
pleasing the eye as well as the taste,
and nothing could be more cheering,
beautiful and tempting than the ba
kcts of fruits arranged by Heniy R.
Hullowell & Son, Broad below Chest
nut Street. The baskets themselves,
i in different sizes, arc works of art,
1 made by hand in Japan or China,
i from special designs, and filled with

criminating care exactly where the

THE Army boys abroad will each
be permitted by the Government
to receive only one package at
Christmas. This must bo sent by
November 15, in a Red Cross box,
with an official tag. As thc box
is but 0x4x3 incites it is difficult to
find things small enough; but A.
l'omerantz & Co. have two valuable
suggestions on sale. Thc "Fyne
Point" sterling silver pencil, which
icquiies no sharpening, and has a
magazine holding six extra finely
pointed leads. But the newest idea
is the Military Ink tab Fountain Pen,
for men in active service. At tho k
top of thc pen is a chamber holding
a quantity of inktabs, tablets of con
centratcd ink, requiring only to be
dissolved in water to fill the pen.
thus eliminating all possibility of
being without ink. And don't forget
a Chiistmas Greeting card!
ClOFFEE, novy so common, did
. not come into vogue in France
' until 1669. when the Turkish
Ambassador to Louis XIV served it
to his guests on gold and silver sauc
ers. Refore this Coffee Houses had
been opened in England and become
the gathering .place of wits and
poets. Since then thc favor of coffee
has never decreased, nnd it is moic
extensively used in this country than
in any other, proving conclusively
that it is indeed an "intellectual bev
el age"! At E. Bradford Clatke's,
1520 Chestnut Street, they sell the
same coffee, their own particular
Blend, that they have been putting
up for years, in .1-pound packages.
It is a rich, clear coffee, suitable for
breakfast or dinner, and rather than
sacrifice tho quality, has been slight
ly raised in price, but orders for it
continue to pour in.

secKing out-ot-tne-ordtnary suits,
and the "Reed" model shown there is
the latest expression of stvlc in
men's clothes. The coat is cut with
a high waist line, accentuating the
wearers iiegnt, anil conforms snug
ly to the body from the waist line
up. Below the waist line it flares
gradually over the hips, greatlv re
sembling in this" tho new military
coats so much admired. The fionts
of the coat are tailored soft, and cut
almost sti night. The lapels, notched
rather high, join the collar at n
sloping angle that is unusually at
tractive, and altogether the "Reed,"
with its graceful lines and comfort
able fitting, is a most sensible and
practical model.
HANDMADE blouses, always as

IS ANYTHING more provoking
than buying good materials and
then having them ruined in tho
kitchen? Coffee-making by the old
process of boiling is rather an un
certain quantity, some cooks never
managing to get it just right, but
often the failure is not due so much
to cookie as to worn-out utensils. At
the House Furnishing Store of J.
Franklin Miller, 1612 Chestnut
Street, there arc coffee pots and per
colators galore, the newest' of which
are the all-glass Silex percolators.
These come with electric attachments
or alcohol lamps, and being entirely
of non-breakable glass arc safe and
sanitary. The coffee is made on the
table in thtee minutes, and it is in
teresting to watch the process. Any
one can manage it successfully, for
being self-acting it is positively
"fool proof."
