War Mews MaUed By U. P. Men To The United States

87 j. w. fioi.ee. Xrnlted Press Staff Correspondeut.) FOLKESTONE. England. June 7 (by mail). After the German aeroplanes finished bombing this town In the raid which killed 74. the survivors gathered in knots at the street corners and told eac& other about It. It was just like .the aftermath of "experiences" occurring In any American town after the tornado has wiped out Main street. A theatrical manager producing a musical show had his "beauty chorus" lined up to rehearse a big "number." The familiar sound of bombs sent the girls Into - panic. With their skirts pinned above their knees they flew for the single stage exit. In time to prevent a serious stampede the manager blocked the door, lined up the girls and marched them out to the lawn of a public square. "Lie flat on the grass." he ordered. "Keep calm. If you're going to be hit

by a bomb you can't dodge It, but the bricks won't find you out here." The girls obeyed while explosives crashed around them. The show had no casualties. though bombs tore up nearby streets. In a busy street an ex-sergeant, veteran of raids at the front, took command of the crowd. Ha commanded everyone to He down in the middle of the street. Then he patrolled the block to enforce his commands. Bombs struck all around, but most of the people escaped Injury. The manager of a neighborhood store told of waiting on four little girls just before the raid. The moment they stepped outside a bomb roared In the middle of the pavement, killing them all. The manager, uninjured, rushed out and carried them Into his store. One dead child still hugged her package of groceries. Hearing the first bomb a block away, a butcher grabbed a woman customer around the waist and rushed her into the vault. He slammed the door. In the darkness the woman screamed for help. Ten minutes later in the jumbled wreckage of the butcher shop she was thanking the butcher for saving her life. One German was Injured fatally. He hrij lived in town for 25 years and had many friends there. Soldiers showed more "war sense" and less recklessness than the civilians. Almost to a man they flopped themselves fiat wherever they happened to be, and thus escaped showers of deadly fragments cast up by Impact bombs. Civilians learned a les

son from them. Military officers believe the Germans dropped a number of time bombs, arranged to explode Just above the heads of the crowds. These scattered thousands of shrapnel balls as well as jagged metal fragments. A retired sea-captain, sitting in the sun at his cottage door, made up his mind to pay no attention to the " raid. But a shrapnel ball knocked the book out of his hands and a dozen others peppered the wall behind him. His onion-garden , was blown into the air, but he escaped injury.

Merchants Protest When Monon Curtails Service LAFAYETTE, Ind.. June 30. At a conference lasting six hours, Monon railroad officials, headed by General Superintendent P. L. McManus of Chicago, discussed the question of reducing passenger service. The National Council of Defense has asked that passenger service be curtailed so that motive power can be used In hauling coal and other material needed in war time. It is planned to suspend two passenger trains between Lafayette and Bloomingt'on and West Baden. Lafayette merchants sent a message to President H. R. Kurrie in Chicago, asking him not to take oft any trains. Another meeting In a few days will settle the matter.

Uncle Sam wants volunteers this week !

Belinda' pretty head, is white. But not from fright' nor age. She's wearing one of those new hata Pure white, that are the rage.

"White caps on the crests of the fashionable waves are now numerously to be Been. Reared aloft on the waved crests of fashionable devotees It is nautlcally fitting that the favorite shape of them should be dubbed the Marine. It is a jaunty little copy of the marine tarn o' shanter of white satin braided in white soutache braid with a long silken tassel of white falling from the center over thel right ear where the fullness of the tarn also flops rakishly. What more inspiring display of the national colors could one's heart desire than a military cap of white satin with a white straw visor poised above a pair of blue eyes atop a mass of Titian hair? A cunning. little round hat of white satin has its brim rolled up all around with an inch quilling of the white satin standing upon top of that. A French

fold of the satin around the crown with a pump bow In front is the only other adornment. Another similar model of white straw has an upstanding banding four inches high, white quills instead of the satin quilling,, and yet another has the same effect accomplished with white wheat. Wheat, by the way, all white or au naturelle, is sewn as plentifully In the millinery field as it is sown In the country fields. It strives to take the place of the barred aigrette and is so successful in the attempt that but few regret the aigrette. With wheat such a factor in the food crisis of the war, it seems only right that we should put it above everything else, and what higher eminence can it hope to- attain than milady's bonnet? A huge garden hat of white crin abrlstle with white wheat jutting out in ray fashion from the crown across the wide brim is most effective. The crown Is ra.her high and narrow. A tiny turban shaped hat of white faille with wee white winga set , in pairs around. the edge of the turned-up brim a3 If poised for flight is a fly little concoction and a draped close turban of white hatter's plush' agleam with a sinuous silver tassel bobbing over one side i sufficiently original to attract its full quota of attention. Velvet and plush are of course the materials of the moment for June, July and August headgear In the usual perverse manner of Dame Fashion's topsy turvy decrees of chiffon for December and for July. A simple but chic model of pleated

white maline to be worn with lingerie frocks has a crown of white hatter's plush rierced by a large pearl ball hatpin In front for eole ornamentation save for tabs of narrowest white velvet ribbon binding the edge of the maline brim at Intervals of one Inch. The depth of the binding extends for two inches above and below the brim. Quite the smartest things in motor togs is offered by a Fifth Avenue house. It consists of a coat and a hat fashioned from a loosely woven linen resembling common or garden gunny sacking. It comes in two colors, natural linen or gray. The coat is & loose belted military model with a scarf collar that wraps like a muffler around the throat and chin, both ends of this muffler effect and the large patch pockets on the skirt of the coat are hecticly aglow with a futuristic bird and fruit design hand embroidered in purple, blue, yellow, green and red heavy twist. The close hat is built like an Austrian officer's cap and Is of the linen with a narrow brim of dark blue straw. The same vividly embroidered design embellishes the front. For those who need a less trying shape a little crush hat of grey linen is offered more simply embroidered In a few simple impossible posies. The loose coat of the grey has pockets and cuffs embroidered in the weird flora and a plain rolling collar with revers instead of the scarf effect. They are both swagger and smart, and the possession of such a stunning outfit is In Itself . sufficient motive tor : motoring.
