\ Commendahle Reversal

X HEN the Administrative Board, at a
wv meeting last week, refused the plea OF
Richmond women for permission to hold the
Red Cross ball in the First Regiment Armory
The Times Dispatch expressed the opinion
that this action would meet with strong
public dsapproval. and that the board. after
opportunity for that sober second thought
the moralists SO commend, would suffer Il
change OF heart.
It is highly gratifying TO have observed
the veritication of both of these prophecies
tho first Immediately and the second after
only such reasonable indulgence in by-play
and foderol as permitted the board, without
loss of what the Chinese call race" to re-
verse Its earlier action.
Now that permission has been granted, it
is for Richmond to give every assistance to
the sponsors of the enterprise in making the
ball success. War-stricken Europes need
is very grca. and very pressing, and the Red
Cross is responding with every particle of
its resources and its strength. TO help such
4 cause is privilege and an opportunity
that Richmond should not, and will net
neglect

With the utmost possible patriotism that

signed to check British plans to reinforce the
allied armies in France and Belgium.
For weeks the censors in Germany have
been permitting the dispatch Of kilograms to
the effect that the Kaiser contemplated the
immediate invasion OF England that a great
fleet of Zeppclins and other aerial craft was
being collected to assist this purpose, and
that the krupp works at Essen werc turning
out new and even more dreadful siege guns
capable of sending their shells across the
channel.
OF course. all this was ridiculous. So
long as the British fleet is in existence, Ger
many will no more contemplate seriously the
invasion of England than she will the in
rasion OF Mars--and one would not be much
less difficult than the other. Moreover. ii
the plan actually were being considered, no
hint or animation of it would ever be per-
mitted to get beyond the German frontier
until the transports were ready TO sail.
Whether the British War Office has been
impressed by these threats is uncertain but
there can be no uncertainty that the British
populace has been sufficiently wrought up.
Is it not quite impossible that the whole
campaign of terrorism is intended to brighten
Britain into keeping its levies at home in
stead Of sending them to France? In the
meantime. the German armies might batter
France into submission.
And ii this be the correct theory as to
the rumors of an invasion of England. may
not Count Won Bcrnstorff's talk of an in
vasion of Canada be ascribed to a similar
purpose? Is il not worth while to brighten
Canada as well as the mother country?
1t is difficult TO find any other reasona bile
explanation. The German ambassador is not
child, nor an intellectual weakling but
one OF the ablest ard most astute members of
the kaisers diplomatic corps. When he
talks 1t is for purpose--not merely for the
pleasure he derives from his own vocal utter
ances. He understands as we'll as another
that threats TO invade Canada would Increase
this country's resentment against Germany
and would not, without sufficient reason or
promise of profit indulge in such public
fulminations.
The fact is Germany is at the climax OF
her war strength. In three months of war
she has failed to carry out the plan OF bring
ing France TO her knees, OH which the en-
pres whole military policy was based Ger
many must conquer quickly or not at ALL
and to conquer She must take her foes in
order. II She can discourage Rri,ain from
extending further assistance in France her
task will be smplitied to that extent

Plight Of Cotton Growers

Correspondence of Associated Pressl
LONDON, October Embarrassing the

The World Record has prepared a
, taDle. based on figures of tho lnterna-
tional Cotton Federation, which show
that about one-half OF the cotton pro
duced in America for the year ended
September /. 1913. was used by the
countries now at war. Great Britain.
Germany. France, Austria, Russia. Bel

Speaking Of the proposed eliminn-

says: Cotton planters in America have
already considered the necessity of pro

they have decided that no cotton shall

Opinions may differ rs to whether

Q UNDAG newspapers have to be stuffed by

that will automatically turn of the gas when
the turkey or roast is exactly done.

The first two inventions will help Il lot.
The third one mentioned. if it will apply to
