PARIS, Sept. 14.—Fighting at
Nancy and Luneville from Septem-
ber 7 to 11, was the announcement
made today at the war office in
this city. The French took 31,-
000 prisoners after blocking the
German retreat. It was announced
that the Germans evacuated | “
northwest France and Belgium.
It is believed that the Germans
are preparing Tor concentration t
either to resume the offensive orj
make a defensive stand along the
German frontier. The French1
victory in a large battle along the
German f rontier will probably
end the war. It is pointed out
here that there will be no lasting
peace unless the treaty is signed
in Berlin.

Yon insist on knowing the real value of articles you buy, and you aie justly entitled to that knowledge.
^ on insist on having just what you want, and you are averse to accepting substitutes.
1 aat is the attitude of the discerning woman of today, the woman who makes the home what it is.
We know this, and have purchased our stock of dry goods and ladies’ furnishings with these require-
ments in view, purchased to please you, to give you that high combination of value and appearance ^which
means real economy in every purchase. i
We give you exactly what you ask for—never a substitute. The more you know of the value of our
goods the better it pleases us, for then you will know that this is a store where “economy” means something
more than an empty word.

ANTWERP, Sept. 16.— Up-

Belgium from the north.
This indicates, ; according to
high Belgian officials, that the
Germans are determined to hold

any cost.
The entrenchments about Brus-
sels have been strengthened. A
small detachment of soldiers of
the German army is still in charge
of that city.
