GERMAN LOSS AT
ANTWERP IS HEAVY
Paris. Tho Germans lost 40,000
men in tho capturo ot Antwerp, ac
cording to Paul Erio, special corre
spondent of tho Journal, who writes:
"Tho heroic Belgian defense of forts
Waelhem, Wavro and Llerre, forming
tho outer ring, cost tho Germans very
dear. General von lleseler throw com
pact masses of troops into the inter
walls, where tho Belgians poured a
withering infantry flro on the assail
ants. "South ot the third line of defenses
German bodleB aro now piled in heaps.
This happened at tho beginning of the
assault. South of Fort Bornhelm the
Belgians Interred 3,200 German
corpses.

tho remaining population then retired

tho GermanB began to fortify it If
given a little time thoy will, with tho
help of their heavy artillery, make it
practically Impregnable."
Kaiser's Cattle Captured.
London. A dispatch to the Star
from Potrograd says that among the
romarkablo war trophies arriving at
Smolensk is the entlro stock of Em
peror William's famous pedigreed cat
tlo and horses, captured by the Rus
sians from the emperor's estate at
Romlnten, East Prussia. They were
taken to Moscow and presented to the
Russian Agricultural institute for dis
tribution among agricultural breeding
associations.
Tho German artillerymen beat their
assailants off with a hellish fire, which
tho French artillery tried in vain to
silence. Until late In the evening tho
battery continued Its deadly work un
til its ammunition becamo oxhaustcd
and tho men wero either dead or
wounded.
"When I arrived tho bravo crow had
already beon burled, and tho guns

that tho pieces might not disappear

New Costumes

WHEN entire costumes made ot
plush first appeared they made a
tirong appeal on tho score of novelty,
but seomed somewhat heavy. Manu
facturers have improved the quality
of tho now plushea or "fur clothB"
tor making buUb and costumes by
making thorn lighter in weight, more
supplo and handsomer than ever.
Somo ot them are marvelously faith
ful copies of certain furs, as broad
tall and mole. They aro made in s
greater number of colors than In for
mer seasons and there is no doubt ot
their success in entire costumes.
In any representative display ot
suits and costumes thoso models em
ploying fur cloth are found combined
with plain smooth-surfaced cloths.
Occasionally contrasting colors aro
used but much oftener the two cloths
are ot exactly the same shade. The
rich but sedato colors, fashionable
for the coming season, play into the
Three Hats for
HATS elaborate and rich enough to
grace the smartest of occasions
are shown in tho pretty group pictured
here. One of them camo from that
celebrated woman among French de
signers to whom some excellent Judges
of millinery would hand tho bluo rib
bon if a contest for supremacy were
on.
This delightful and novel headpiece
from Madame Georgette is a rather
8mall hat with narrow drooping brim
ot velvet. The odd crown is like a
fan, supported at the left side by a
band which narrows to tho right until
it almost disappears. Tho crown 1b
made of overlapping strlfs of a fancy
braid and might bo effectively man
aged with velvet or other ribbon.
At the front a tall fancy feather of
ostrich and chenlllo makes a decora
tion full of dash. Tho hat is worn at
a saucy tilt but its lines are so well
managed that nothing of its elegance
Is lost
Entirely different in character is tho
picturesque and oxqulslto brimmed hat
which first came to tho eyes of woman

In combinations of this kind plain
skirts of broadcloth with very wide
borders of fur cloth nro worn with
skirted coats in which tho two fabrics
are cleverly worked up together.
Fur cloths aro aB well adapted to
millinery aB to costumes and are
made up Into toques and turbans.
They aro utilized in muffs and neck
pieces and In coats for little chil

thoy have been considerably exploit

wo may expect to see its splendid de
velopment aB the winter bcubou ad
vances. Smart Occasions
The shape has a round crown ot
moderato size and a brim with Blight
curves in the edgo. The hat Is in
white and black, tho top crown a rich
brocade In raised flowers on a satin
ground. Very handsome ribbon, with
pivot edge of silver, Is draped about
the side crown. The brim Is of white
faced with black velvet A very un
usual OBtrlch fancy feather with jet
stem nnd ornament is poBed on the
brim, two of tho pompon-like ends
near tho front and the remaining one
at the side.
Tho third hat is plainer but Is a rich'
and elegant model depending upon its
unusual outlines and richness of ma

class. It Is of deep sapphire velvet
trimmed with pllagc collar nnd tho
handsomest of shaded ostrich plumes.
This is also tho creation of an Ameri

No llteraturo has a more torrlblo
story than that of Judus. Matthew
gives us perhaps tho fullest account
of Ills last acts and tho part he had lu
thoso final hours of tho suffering uud
death of .Jesus
Mary's act of anointing, by Jesus
commended, nnd by Judas condemned,
caused Mm latter to faro forth for his
final act of fulthless Infamy. Con
trasted with tho odor of her good deed,
wo hero have tho stench of an evil
deed
I. The Bargain, vv. 14-25. (1) The
Price, vv. 14-16. Disappointed In his
hopes Unit Jesus would establish an
earthly kingdom wherein ho should
hold a high position, stung by tho re
buke ot vv. 10-IU (cC John 111: l-S) nnd
moved by cupidity, Judas hurries to
tho enemies of Jesua (seo John 13:
27). Ho saw no further opportunity
to profit through "holding tho bag,"
John Kii-it, and so got what ho could
,from tho rulers. Ho estimated his
worth at 30 pieces of silver about sev
enteen or nineteen dollars, or tho
vnluo of a slavo; see Ex. 21:22 and
Phil. 2:7, also tho prophecy of Zcchar
lah 11:12-13. Hate, onvy, disappointed
ambition, nnd cupidity drovo JudaB
with relentlessncsB in his flnnl act of
infamy. Verily, "Whatsoever a man
sowcth, that shall ho also reap." Gal.
16:7. (2) The Penalty, vv. 17-25. As

Must Be Born Again.
Even grace cannot save us in our
slnB. All of his gifts, his nearness to
tho Son of God, hlB knowledge, first
handed, of those marvelous teachings
of Jesus, did not grip his heart. Head
knowledge alono nover saved anyone.
It 1b not enough even to be numbered
among the disciples. There, must bo a
new creation, we must bo born again,
John 3:7. In verso 24 we read the
final warning and John tells us (13:27)
that following theso words ho is com
manded to "go out quickly."
II. The Betrayal, vv. 47-50. Thero
nro four stages in this episode: (1) In
tho houso of Simon at tho anointing of
Jesus by Mary; (2) Tho ono just con
sidered nnd which took placo in tho
"upper room" in connection with tho
Pasflover feast; (3) Tho third is tho
subject of "ils paragraph and took
placo in tho Garden following tho
ovonta of Inst week'B lesson. Thla
plcturo has been painted bo often as
to bo familiar to us all. Tho Son of
Man, tho advancing apostnto dUclplo,
tho mob; what an appalling Bceno.
Judas had probably led first to tun
house whenco ho had left Jesus. Find
ing Jesus nnd tho dlBolples had de
parted (v. 30) ho knew where, In all
probability, ho would find tho Master.
It was a familiar resort for Jesus and
his disciples, John 18:2, 3. Judas had
often snt under theso same olive trees
and listened to him who "taught aB
nover man taught." It was also a
placo sacred to prayer. How things
aro changed. Judas had allowed Satnn
to enter his heart (John 13:27, seo also
James 4:7) nnd with eager feet ho
crosses tho brook Kedron, past the
disciples nnd into tho presence ol
Jesus to betray him with a kiss.
The Final Stage.
III. "He Went and Hanged Him
self" 27:3-10. Tho fourth and final
stago is reached when, seeing that
Jcbub Is condemned and about to bo
executed, Judas, filled with remorse,
carried back tho 30 pieces ot silver to
tho chief prlcBts and tho elders. What
an exhibition of hypocrisy thoy evi
denced, not to tnke tho prlco of blood,
forsooth! JudaB did not really repent.
Tho word hero used for "repent" is.
rather that ho suffered remorse, and
that docs not necessarily Involve re
pentance as we all know. Had he
truly repented he would not havo
hanged himself and bo would havo
been saved even as the repentant thief
was saved.
There 1b no necessary contradiction
between this and the account given in
Acts 1:8. "If he hanged himself in tho
'field of blood' and the ropo broke tho
account given in Acts would naturally
follow."
The Teaching. Ab we recall these
final things in tho lite ot Judas wo
must remember that they are not tho
beginnings of his defection. Tho de
velopment of tho lives of Judas and
Peter nro profoundly different Both
looked for a temporal kingdom and
both wore out of sympathy with the
teachings of Jesus as to tho necessity
ot his death. Ono, for personal gain,
betrayed, and tho other, for self-protection,
denied hlB Lord. When Judas
saw Jesus condemned, ho too saw tho
end ot his dreams tho samo as Potor.
In that hour ho committed sulcldo, an
act of cowardlco of the worst kind,
