Of importance to every
eyeglass wearer in
New York and vicinity
The "EVER-LOCT" Mounting
The most useful eyeglass invention in a decade
Wobbly lenses, due to loose screws, are the most annoying
feature of eyeglass wearing.
Frequent breakage of lenses, due to screw boles, is the
most expensive feature of eyeglass wearing.
We have a cure for wobbly lenses which at the same
time minimizes breakages, because no screws are used.
In the "Ever-Loct" eyeglasses and spectacles which we
are introducing and which are sold here only by us, there
are no holes, no screws and the lenses are always tight.
"EVER-Loct" mountings on your glasses mean comfort
and economy. Cost no more than the old style mountings.
Come in to see them.

news
LnvpoN, Oct. 17. Winston Churchill,
First Lord of tho Admiralty, has sent
a mosngo welcoming home tho naval
division which took part In the lighting
at Antwerp. Ho congratulates the men
on tholr llrmness, dlsclplino and courago
and adds:
"Naval brlgadwi were chosen because
the need for them wns urgent und bit
ter; because mobile troops could not be
spared for fortress duties; because they
worn the nearest to the sccno and could
be omtxirkFd the quickest, nnd becauso
their training, though Incomplete, was
as far advanced as that of a large por
tion mft only of the forces defending
Antwerp, but of tho enemy'o forces at
tacking that place.
"Tho naval division was sent to Ant
werp not an nn Isolated Incident, but
as part of a large operation for the ro
of tbo week was favorable, to the Hcf of the city. Other and moro power-
allies.
I.leut.-Col. llou'set In hl summary
to-day says the time his pissed for a
turning movement by the (lorm ins.
"I seo In tho ehaiigo of front operated
by the enemy only an admission of In
creasing embirrnssment," he wiltes.
'(lerin.in strategy Is at the present time
fill considerations provnnted this from
being carried through, The defence of
tho Inner lines of Antwerp could have
been maintained for some days, nnd tho
naval division only withdrew when
ordered to do so on account of tho gen
eral strategic situation nnd not on nc-
taken nnd It in too early to Judge what
effect tho delaying, even for llvo or Mx
days, of at least f.O.OftO Hermans nny
have? had on the fortunes of rhe general
b.ittl.i to the southward.
"It certainly was powerful and help
ful, npart from tho military experiences,
which havn been Invaluable. Tho divi
sion have been tho witnesses of the
ruthlessnesn of tho German foe toward
n small and Innocent Htato. These
facts should lnsplro nil nvnka to lit
themselves In tbo shortest possible time
for further service In the Held, not
merely as fortress troops, hut ns mobile
units. Tho Helglnn people will never
forget thnt men of the royal navy nnd
royal marines iwore with -them In tlielr
darkest hour of misery, as, ploaso Ood,
they may also be with thqm when 111
glum Is restored to her own by the
armies of the allies."
This is evidently Mr. Churchill' reply
to tho Mnrnlna i'oif bitter attack on
him, charging tha-t ho sent an Innde
quate forco to Antwerp and sent even
that too lato to prolong the defence of
the city when It would havo been beller
tactics 10 have allowed tho Belgian
nrmy to withdraw at least a week
earlier.
Tun Svn's correspondent hns talked
nn this point with men of the highest
rank In both services. They unani
mously eixpreso regret at the attack,
pointing out that nt any rate thn des-
i patch of this force put tho Hrltlsli
lighting side by side with -the Helglaiw,
' who for no long had been looking for
I actual, practical flclitlng support of the
1 allies.

Tills point Is supposed to bo In Hot

It Is reported this afternoon thnt
