line, using the fortifications at Metz
for the left wing, and extending
through the positions in Luxemburg,
which have been strongly fortified to
St. Quentin.
Large Force At Strassburg.
The Germans have a large force of
German-Austrian troops at Strass
burg, which is one of the most pow
erfully fortified cities in the world,
and this garrison prevents further in
vasion of Lorraine impossible at this
time.
French Warned Not To Expect Too
Much.
The war office has again warned
the people not to ex-pect too much
of the allies. It is pointed out that
although the department fully appre
ciates the German reverses of the
past week, yet the people are cau
tioned against the too rapid assump
tion that the invaders are beating
a disorderly retreat because the great
army of the Germans, numbering ov
er a million men, still possesses great
strength and may assume the offen
sive at any time an* may be falling
back to take up positions more eas
ily defended.
Belgian-Russian Force Active.
ANTWERP, Sept. 14.—The Belgian
army, reinforced by a large force
of Russian troops and a number of
English, are now engaging the Ger
mans between Brussels and Liege
and expect to capture the German
garrison at Brussels.
East Belgium Clear of Germans.
The Germans no longer hold any
Belgium territory east of Brussels
and if the garrison in the former
Belgium capital is captured or forced
to retire the Belgian-Russian forces
will be in a position to operate
against the rear of the German po
sition in the Ardennes mountains.
Paris Hears of Austrian Defeats.
PARIS, Sept. 14.—A wireless re
port has been received here from
Russia claiming that the Austrian
German army which had taken the
offensive against the troops under
General Rouzky had received a sec
ond terrible defeat, the victorious
Russians having taken 50,000 prison
ers besides many commanding gen
erals and fifty field guns.
Believe the Story True.
The military men here believe the
story is true and that the version
of the battle sent from Berlin and
Vienna claiming an Austrian-German
victory was faked to put heart into
the disorganized German army in
France.

THAT COMMANDS RESPECT
Fads and extremes make freakish clothes but never the
well-dressed man. The real fashion artist—and there are
only a few real ones—designs clothes that have the spark of
lively style, but are never foppish and conspicuous
TRACK MARK REGISTERED
“The same price the "world over”
are designed by fashion artists that are masters in giving prevailing style
tendencies, without including the harsh extremes that clash with good taste.
STYLEPLUS CLOTHES $17 make a
man well dressed without making his clothes
noticeable and loud. We have a new assort
ment for Fall, brim full of the season’s best
cloth selections in both suits and overcoats.
Whether you are tall and slim or short and
stout—whether you are sixteen or sixty, some
one of our many styles will fit your figure and
your personality.
Come and see.
