EPITOME OF THE 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 A party of mounted Mexicans ex changed fire with L company of the Ninth Massachusetts infantry at El Paso, Texas. According to reports, the guardsmen were doing outpost duty when the Mexicans rode up on the opposite bank of the Rio Grande and opened fire. The guardsmen suf fered no casualties, but reported that they believed they had killed one Mex ican. Accounts of increased numbers of bandits in northern Mexico, south of the Big Bend district, and repetitions of the reports of Villa’s growing strength were the outstanding features in official and unofficial information reaching General Fuuston. General Funston is continuing his work of strengthening the border pa trol in the Big Bend district, using Pennsylvania and Texas troopers. General Funston has asked the war department to secure, if possible, an appropriation of $300,000. A hospital train has been ordered to leave Washington July 21 for serv ice between El Paso and the border troops. Domestic The National Guards at the various state camps and those doing border duty are receiving good treatment, ac cording to a statement emanating from the war department. Two were killed and two seriously injured near Crawfordville, Ga., when a railway train struck an automobile one mile distant from the city, at a place called Atchison’s Crossing. Seventeen deaths reported have brought the southeastern flood toll to thirty-two, but all rivers are falling, and something like normal conditions obtain in many of the sections over run with high waters from the east ern mountain Sunday.

Mclntyre, a crazed negro, 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 calamity list of six dead and three injured. The negro and his wife were killed after more than a hundred po licemen had besieged his residence for more than three hours and had been forced to resort to dynamite and fire to end the battle. Serious floods in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia caused many deaths, rendered hundreds home less, damaged property and crops to the extent of $10,000,000, according to first estimates, and demoralized rail way, telegraph and telephone commun ication. At Biltmore, N. C., three persons, Capt. J. C. Lipe, Miss Nellie Lipe and Mrs. Leo Mulholland, were drowned when the Lipe house was flooded. Reports from Spartanburg, S.

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 Trim and Neat for Breakfast Time. 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.

For any sore —Hanford’s Balsam. Adv. Wisely and slow; they stumble that run fast. 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 Genuine Castoria always bears the signature of tfiNTERSHITH's p (Full Tonic Sold for 47 years.

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.”— London Tit-Bits.

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.

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.
