The girl in her teens, or the woman in her eighties
finds comfort and delight in our fine shoes.
For growing, girl, miss, or
debutante, there is an
appropriate style to be
had in this store. They
are especially designed for
young feet — pretty and ,
smart but never hurtful. \
They follow Nature's lines ■
with beautiful curves.
Women of advanced years
find our shoes to their
liking. There is no reason
why a shoe for an elderly
lady should be an ugly
- shoe. Queen Quality has

£ Comfort and Beauty go
| hand in hand. We have a
^ large variety of shoes for
women of every age.

BAOLY WOUNDED
Paris, Aug. 7. — M>litari#m, the

itself. This summarize* the pr>
grcUs of the last three .years, ac
cording to Paul Paialeve, the miu
| ister of war, in reviewing the/ war
| to date. Minister PainJeve'a sum
I mary follows:
"Three years of waT. Imagina
' tioi! at first conjures up mouring
i and demonstrations. However, wo
dale to say that humanity has pro
gressed during these three years.
The groat enemy of all progress,
uiili'arism, actually has been wound
ed mortally by war iti«lf. The
ideal of the nations of peace ex
presses itself very precisely against
TUe brutaliy of nations of conquest
Der-pite the vicissitudes, thU ideal
will trumph.
"While curve of German. force
has iuuk, tho curve of the strength
o£ the allies has risen year by
year, and the entrance (of the Unit
e.'. States into the war haa given
it p. sudden and formidable impetus.
Germany's fate is determined.
"Henceforth, Francq particularly,
can snow with elation, itfc balance
f t'e last three years." Bleeding,
still invaded, she is not only great
er and more glorious, but she iu
s'rongcr militarily and politcally
than on August 2, 1914. If Ger
many, stripped of its hegemoney,
ruined in its commerce and; reduced
to an alliance with several groups
of adventurers, today compares
itreif to France, it will show what
thrre years of war have cast it."
