TO QUIT VERA CRUZ
Washington Orders American Soldiers
From Mexican City.
Announcement was made by Presi
dent Wilson that lie has ordered the
withdrawal of the United States forces
from Vera Cruz.
Tlie announcement followed a dis
cussion of the situation at the cabinet
meeting and came as a direct result of
favorable advices from Paul Fuller.
President Wilson's personal represent
ative, who Is returning lrom an In
vestigating trip to Mexico.
It Is understood that Mr. Fuller re
ported that the withdrawal would
greatly facilitate the efforts of Cur
ran za to establish a stable government
In Mexico. The Immediate effect ot
the president's act will be to leave
Carranza free to conduct the reorgan
ization of Mexico without any re
Btraiat and to put him In possession
of one of the most Important points
in all Mexico.
The withdrawal will take place Just
as soon as arrangements can be made
for the delivery of the city to the
properly constituted Mexican authori
ties. The president's statement on the
subject was limited to the following:
"The troops have been ordered
withdrawn from Vera Cruz. This
action Is taken In view of the entire
removal of the circumstances which
were thought to justify the occupation.
The further presence ot the troops Is
deemed unnecessary."
While no mention was made of the
feet It 1b understood in olllclal circles
that with the withdrawal of the troops
most of the warships in Mexican
waters will be ordered home.
REPLY TO BULLET PROTEST
WJIion Does Not Believe It Is Time
Yet For Judgment.
President Wilson has laid down a
general principle by which the United
States will be guided throughout the
war In receiving and considering pro
tests from one belligerent against an
other.
The president has decided that th
United Slates will not attempt t
form or express a final judgment or
any of these protests; that to do so
would be Inconsistent with the neu
trality of the United States govern
ment. The language of his reply to the
kaiser and his verbal answer to the
Belgians were Identical, so far as the
vital portions were concerned.
A cablegram replying to the protest
of President Polncare of Franco, who
charged that the Germans were using
dum dum bullets also was prepared. It
was not made public, but was known
to follow closely the text of the presi
dent's message to Emperor William.

CAUTION SEEN BY DUN'S
Trade Review Notes Hesitancy In
Cusiness Circles.
Dun's Review of Trade says this
week:
"Hesitancy In entering upon new
commitments continues and a spirit oi
caution is everywhere manifest, yet
the confident feeling in business cir
cles is maintained. Sentiment is
strengthened by developments In the
financial situation, a favorable linpres
sion being created by the further Im
provement in foreign exchange and
the action taken with a view to meet
in K maturing obligations abroad.
"Failures tills week in the United
States were 384, compared with 282;
in Canada, 55 against 20 last year."

You Don't Have To Be a Musician
This Season.
All Stylish Clothes Have An English "Tone" To Them.
Even the "Irish" and the "Scotch" fabrics have a "PiccadUly" air, and like everything
else that's considered right, our clothing is right, and we know our prices are right.
Take for instance our assortment of
Suits and Top Coats at $20.00.
They are wonderfully good, the fabrics are pure wool, the garments are all hand tailored,
and our method of fittng renders a misfit almost impossible.
We find our "Ready to Put On" clientele of customers growing bigger every day.
There's some satisfaction in being able to walk right in and walk right out again, with a
handsome suit in your possession and from $10.00 to $20.00 saved in your pocket.
Try us out this season. We both lose if you don't.

WAR PARAGRAPHS
Twelve hundred prisoners arrived
at Rennes, according to a dispatch to
the Havas agency, and were sent to
Brest. Twnnty Alsatians were among
the prisoners. These signed an agre
ment to jot", the foreign legion of the
French army and were roleased.
The French have repulsed with suc
cess from Noyon to Nancy, a distance
of about 1R0 miles. Here between
2,000,000 and 3,000,000 are engaged in
a struggle that In ferocity and
stragetlc Importance bids fair to sur
pass the ba'tle of the Marne.
The Belgians have refused to treat
as a prisoner of war Commandant
Meune of the landsturm at Louvaln.
He Is being held as a criminal pris
oner at Antwerp and will be court
martlaled for gross Infractions of the
laws of war. The future campaign Is
to be controlled by the developments
in France.
The 'precautions being taken In
Paris against surprises have caused an
order which went into effect forbidding
automobiles to leave Paris except mil'
tary mach'-es and ambulances anil
cars carry 1 1 ; officials and journalist,
between Paris and Bordeaux.
The name of Mme. Adrienne Buhet
head of the Dames Du Sacre Coeurs
appears in a long list of names o'
those killed on a battlefield. She was
struck by a bullet from a German
machine gun as she was raising th'
head of a wounded soldier.
Official announcement was made in
Toklo that a bomb dropped by a Jap
anese aviator had set fire to a Germ?'!
ship in Kiauchau bay. Attempts tc
wreck the wireless station there in the
same manner have failed thus far.

Have the new suit or gown fitted over America's most justly famous corset,
FRXLASET
Front Laced Corset
This week we are making an effort to acquaint women with the merit of
the Frolaset. A special showing of the new Fall Models is now in progress.
Every corset will be fitted. Women who are not in immediate need of a
corset, may arrange for a trial fitting. It isn't necessary to purchase. We
simply want you to see whether or not the Frolaset will improve the ap
pearance of your figure. We want you to compare the Frolaset with the
corset you are now wearing.
Each garment so admirably meets the needs of the figure for which it
was designed. The stout woman's corset is the best we have ever fitted.
The model for the growing girl is really the first -corset of this kind that
fully answers the requirements of the youthful figure. The model for the
short slender woman seems to be different from any corset we know of.
The medium-figured woman will find the Frolaset all she may anticipate.
In a word "they're perfect."
A New York Fashion Letter Reads

An English traveler once met a com

woeful despair and apparently near

;he mountain lakes of Switzerland. lie
Inquired the cause of his sufferings.
"Oh," said the latter, "I was very
Sot and thirsty and took a large draft
)f the clear water of the lake and then
lot down on this stone to consult my
guidebook. To my astonishment I
found that tbo water of this lake is
rery poisonous! Oh, I am a gone man!

Wly a few minutes to live. Remem

"Let me sec the guidebook," said his
friend. Turning to the passage, ho
found, "L'eau du lac est blen polsson
8se" (The water of this lake abounds
in fish).
"Is that the mennlng of it?"
"Certainly."
The dying man looked up -with a ra-
llnnt countenance.
"What would have become of you,"
laid his friend. "If I hod not met you?"
"I should have died of Imperfect
