WEEK EVENTS
in a Condensed Form the Happenings of
All Nationalities Are Given
For Our Readers.
WEEK’S NEWSAT A GLANCE
Important Events of the United States
and Particularly in the
South.
European War
Turkish troops have inflicted a se
vere defeat on the Italians in Tripoli,
capturing 6,000 men and 2,000 officers,
besides capturing the tows of Misra
tah and Djejadid.
Turkish operations against the Rus
sians on the Persian front are de
veloping in favor of the Turks, ac
cording to Turkish claims.
The Turks claim that they are ad
ministering severe defeats to the Brit
ish in western Egypt.
The Russians are driving steadily
through the passes of the Carpath
ians, and according to report a Rus
sian cavalry force is threatening se
riously the Austrian rear.
The recent Russian successes have
brought them much nearer Vladimir,
Volynski and Kovel.
The Russian advance in Asia Mi
nor goes on unimpeded, according to
Petrograd.
A peace campaign has been organ
ized in German, but there is no fixed
program.
The English government has decided
to take in taxation 77 per cent of the
excess profits of shipping firms.
General von Linsingen’s retirement
across the Lipa on the eastern front
is considered by critics as removing
the last obstacle to the advance of
the Russians toward Lemberg.
Reports from Rome say the retire
ment of the Teutonic allies has caus
ed a panic in Galicia, where towns
are being evacuated.
A Petrograd dispatch says that the
German withdrawal from around Lem
berg was in disorder.
In Volhynia, in the region of Lutsk,
where the troops of the Teutonic
allies have been forced to give ground
before the attacks of the Russians,
and retire behind the lower Lipa riv
er, the Russians continue to press
their foes and are taking additional
prisoners.
Intermittent bombardments and lo
cal fights between infantry are taking
place in the Caucasus region between
the Turks and Russians.
The successes of the entente allies
are following each other with great
rapidity. News of further important
gains for them both on the western
and eastern front, aroused enthusiasm
among the British public hardly less
than that caused by the reception of
the news of the allied offensive.
The British have improved their po
sition along almost the whole line of
the battle front, capturing by assault
1,500 yards of German second line po
sitions north of the Bazentine-le-Petit
wood, a strong position at the Wa
terlot farm between Longueval and
■Gnillemont, besides completing the
capture of the whole of the villages
of Orvillers and La Boiselle.
The war is costing Great Britain
over $30,000,000 daily, but with the
allies winning east and west, the sac
rifice is not grudged.
While the powers of endurance of
the Teutonic allies, should they be
forced to act entirely on the defen
sive, have still to be tested, the Brit
ish nation is full of confidence. It is
taking nothing for granted, but it is
fully prepared to acquiesce in the ad
vice of the leading ministers, who
are exhorting the nation to the need
of patience.
It is stated in London that parlia
ment will shortly be asked for fresh
borrowing powers.
An official telegram from Berlin re
cites that the kaiser is now in the
Somme battle sector, having received
reports from the chief commander,
visited hospitals distributed iron
crosses and made speeches,
t Only one French inhabitant was
found in thirty villages retaken by
the French and the British in their
offensive in the Somme region.
Lloyds reports the British steamer
Euphorbia, the Italian steamer Sirra
and the steamer Virginia (probably
British) sunk. The Euphorbia meas
ured 3,837 tons. The Virginia was
i 1,379 tons.
Washington
The state department’s investigation
of the alleged British blacklist has
been conducted in various sections of
the world, and according to report
the blacklist has been threatened in
all parts of the world.
The senate has confirmed President
Wilson’s nomination of Representative
James Hay of Virginia as a justice
of the court of claims. Mr. Hay will
resign from congress at the end of
the present session.
President Wilson decided to change
the tentative plan for holding the no
tification ceremonies August 5, because
lie desired to postpone them until af
ter the adjournment of congress.
The war department has sent orders
to all department commanders to de
v.y transportation to the border or
' National Guard organizations now
mobilizing until they are thoroughly
.equipped and organized. The order
will affect about twenty-five thousand
jnen still held in the camps.
President Wilson has signed the
jural credits bill passed recently by
uongress.
News has been received in Wash
ington to the effect that at a large
ly attended meeting of planters and
others representing sugar and general
agricaltural interests held there, reso
lutions were passed urging the British
authorities to adopt measures at the
end of the war for preventing the
wholesale dumping of sugar produced
in hostile countries.
The interstate commerce commis
sion has suspended until November 17
increases proposed in freight rates on
dressed poultry from Texas to New
Orleans and Galveston for export to
Cuba.
Freedom to enter the United States,
once denied, was granted to former
President Cipriano Castro, of Vene
zuela, and his wife by order of Sec
retary Wilson of the labor department.
Information gathered in an investi
gation which has been in progress
for several weeks probably will be
incorporated by the state department
in vigorous representations to the Lon
don foreign office objecting to the
placing of individuals and firms domi
ciled in the United States upon the
blacklist promulgated under the trad
ing with the enemy act.
In every instance anent the alleged
British blacklist it is stated that any
firm which had dealings with the
Germans would be placed on the list,
and this move convinces state depart
ment officials that it operates to re
strain United States commerce.
John Hessin Clarke, federal judge at
Cleveland, Ohio, has been nominated
by the president as an associate jus
tice of the Supreme court to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation of
Charles Evans Hughes.
Mexican News

believing himself a prophet who must
die to carry a “message to the Al
mighty,” became violent in Chicago,
and the result of his frenzy was a

THE DOUGLAS ENTERPRISE. DOUGLAS. GEORGIA
In Woman s Realm
Of All Articles of Clothing, the Tailored Costume Should Be Chosen
With the Utmost Care, for Obvious Reasons—Dainty Things
Innumerable Are Offered at This Time for Wear
in the Morning.
The tailored suit is of perennial In
terest, for It is much the same and
must reach the same standards in all
walks of life. Nothing that women
wear meets so many critical eyes, and
women step down and up to a com
mon level when they wear correct
street clothes. Therefore the tailored
suit is to be most carefully selected.
Wherever else she may be forced to
practice economy every woman should
give as much as she can for good ma
terial and good style in her tailored
suits. Thauks to manufacturers there
ji.
Effective Tailored Suit.
are ready-made suits of moderate
price that command the respect of the
most discriminating of women. The
most effective suits follow current
modes with so much reserve that they
are not out of date with the passing
of a single season. This is especially
true of the materials of which the
best tailored suits are made.
The suit shown here is an excellent
example of a standard suit, made of
black and white checked material,
which is never out of fashion. The
skirt is plain and rather full and
flares sufficiently to be in the mode.
The coat is plain cut. with an easy
adjustment to the figure, which is
always smart, and has a full pqplutn

and wide belt of the material. Batch
pockets, odd band cuffs, and high
plain collar depend upon neat tna
chine-stitching and bone buttons for
an always correct tailored finish. The
buttons are white, bordered with a
rim of black.
White washable gloves, black and
white shoes, and a tailored hat faced
with black belong in the company of
this model suit. They complete the
equipment of the wearer for the hap
penings of the day.
There are many dainty jackets de
signed for morning wear that go to no
great lengths to make themselves at
tractive. They are, in fact, brief little
garments whose story is soon told. But
they are as sure of pleasing the eye
and the good taste of women as is the
wild rose. Here is one of them
made of the very palest shade of pink,
In cotton voile, with a narrow satin
stripe running through It. Scattered
over the surface of the cloth, the small
est of roses, about as big as a pencil
head. are set In equally diminutive
leaves. The roses are in pink, deepen
ing to the American Beauty shade.
This is about the simplest of all
morning jackets and it doesn't take
much calculation on the part of the
least calculating woman to convince
her that its cost is next to nothing. It
only takes about three yards of voile a
yard wide to make the body and
sleeves. Any other sheer fabric will
answer the purpose as well as voile,
and there are numberless cotton
weaves, including challie, organdie,
lawn, batiste, mull and crepe, that aro
printed with all sorts of flower pat
terns,
The jacket pictured is plain with
long shoulder seams and three-quarter
length sleeves. It is cut to hang
straight from the shoulders, and gath
ered in at the waistline by a ribbon
run through a casing. The casing is
made by stitching a strip of the mate
rial to the under side of the jacket,
The neck is trimmed to a V shape a|
the front and finished with a narrow
facing, and the sleeves are faced also
All the seams are felled.
A row of val lace insertion and
edging trims the bottom, having the
edging whipped to the insertion with
a little fullness, to form a scant frill.
A wide collar and cuffs of white or
gandie are finished with lace in the
same way, and they are bested to the
neck and sleeves as a finish to the
jacket. Collar and cuff sets are
bought ready made and may be had
for so low a price that it is hardly
worth while to make them. The jacket
fastens at the throat with a snaj
ftistener.
HAVE YOU A STUBBORN COUGH
If So, Read This:
“My wife had a terrible cough and was
spitting up considerable—seemed to he
bordering on tuberculosis,” writes Mr. W.
T. Daniels, Hohenwald, Tenn. “I saw
your advertisement and decided at once
to try Lung-Vita. I ordered a bottle and
she began to get better after taking the
first dose and is entirely well.”
Many letters on file telling what Lung-
Vita has done in cases of consumption,
asthma, whooping cough, colds, croup and
grippe. If you cannot obtain Lung-Vita
at your dealers, order direct. Price $1.75.

Save the Babies.
INFANT MORTALITY is something frightful. We can hardly realize that
of all the children born in civilized countries, twenty-two per cent.,
or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year ; thirty-seven
percent., or more than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before
they are fifteen l
We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save a
majority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many
of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations.
Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children’s complaints contain
more or less opium or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities,
deadly poisons. In any quantity, they stupefy, retard circulation and lead
to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria operates exactly the reverse, but
you must see that it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher. Castoria
causes the blood to circulate properly, opens the /f _
pores of the skin and allays fever. fjr ,7

DINER SURE OF ONE THING
Whoever Paid for Meal Party Had
Consumed, Most Certainly It
Was Not He.
“Talking about good dinners,” said
the Yankee traveler, slowly, "I remem
ber one I had in Chicago. I went Into
a slap-up restaurant with some chums
and ordered the finest thing in din
ners. Then, when the bill came around,
we couldn't decide who was to pay.
They all wanted to, and so did L”
“Very awkward for you all,” agreed
one of his listeners, skeptically.
“Waal, yes,” continued the man
from the States; “as we couldn’t
settle the matter, I proposed that we
should blindfold the waiter, and then
whichever one he caught would have
to pay the bill.”
“A very good idea,” said another lis
tener, stifling a yawn. “Whom did he
catch?”
“I dunno,” replied the Yankee, brief
ly; “but he ain’t caught me yet.”—

In Exalted Company.
One of the members of a committee
of inspection on its tour of a certain
penitentiary found himself in conver
sation with one of the convicts. The
latter was disposed to be confidential,
and thus unburdened himself:
“It is a terrible thing to be known
by a number instead of a name, and
to feel that all my life I shall be an
object of suspicion among the police.”
“But you will not be alone, my
friend,” said the visitor, consolingly.
“The same thing happens to people
who own automobiles.”

Mosquitoes Put Out Light.
Great swarms of mosquitoes swept
in from the marshes and extinguished

An office holder should save some
money—but not enough to start an
investigation.
Our Family History.
Why does the ordinary family keep
so poor a record, not of its own doings
they are, for the most part, dull
enough—but of its own personalities?
None of us can see in front of us
much further than the probable life
time of our own children, and we do
not like to look even so far as that.
Surely it would give us a sense of
space if we could see clearly a little
further behind us.
Moreover, to those we are engaged
in the bringing up of their own chil
dren, a history of the family might
furnish many a hint.
IMITATION IS SINCEREST FLATTERY
