German kaiser is reported to have
cabled President Wilson, of the Unit
ed States, protesting against the Brit
ish troops using dum-dum bullets in
violation of the recognized rules of
civilized warfare. It is reported that
many of the German wounded were
horribly torn by the bullets from the
British rifles and that dum-dum bul
lets were taken from the cartridge

OSTEND, Belgium, Sept. 10.—Five
army corps of the German Belgium
army are moving swiftly towards the
big German army operating in
France and which is now fighting on
the defensive and is striving to save
its line of communication to Luxem
burg.
Battle Line Is 125 Miles Long.
LONDON, Sept. 10.—1The line of
the Anglo-Franco armies extends
from Meaux to Verdun, near the nor
thern border of Alsace. The allies
have selected a position of great
strategic strength and have the ad
vantage of the German troops who
are now endeavoring to attack the
allies left wing.
Must Cross Swamp.
General Joffre has his forces so
placed that the Germans are forced
*o cross the Petit Morin swamps, an
exceedingly hazardous undertaking,
but the only hope by which the Ger
mans can expect to win.
Germans Now Crossing Swamps.
In spite of the terrible danger in
crossing through the Petit Morin
swamps the Germans forces are now
reported advancing, building bridges
and roads as they advance.
English Warn Americans.
Military experts here have sent a
warning to Americans who are re
joicing at the continued successes of
the Anglo-Franco armies not to be
too confident and certain as the pres
ent successes are but part of the bat
tle, which is certain to last for a
week, and upon the outcome of
which the allies have staked all.
Admit Germans In Bad Positions.
The experts admit that the German
army under General von Bulow has
been forced to retreat and has lost
heavily in the past two days fighting,
also that the German army command
ed by General von Kluk is threaten
ed in the rear and may be cut off
from the main army at any time.
London Happy At Outlook.
The people here are wild with de
light, as the favorable reports con
tinue to come in, indicating that the
Germans must fight under conditions
selected by the allies and with al
most the certainty of defeat, in which
event the kaiser’s soldiers will be
forced back to the German border
and will no longer be as formidable.

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
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.
