PATRIOTIC WEEK
At PARK CONCERTS
CITIZENS TO SING CHORUS OF STAR
SpANGLED BANNER ALL
NEXT WEEK.

An innovation In the park concerts
this week is the singing by Abe Schra~
der, who, near the middle of the pro-
gram, introduces two catchy songs,
which sets the crowd singing. and
which causes the audience to go away
from the parks whistling the songs
which MIR. Schrader sings This part
OF the program is worth a trip around
with the band. There was no park
concert last night as the band went
with the visttiny merchants of Bet
ter Acquaintance Week"
Tonight the band will play at Jeffer-
son park.
Next week. which will be the last Of
the season, Professor kessniCh Will ask
ell present at the concerts to toin ia
the singing of the chorus Of The Star
Spangied Banner"
with wars going on all over the
world" said Professor kessnich last
night. 1T occurs 20 me that the pa :
triotfc citizens of Richmond will gladly
engage in singing AT all the concerts
next week the chorus Of the national
anthem. This ls a custom in ali the
large cities. and we are as large pa
trioticaliy q $ any Of them. We cannot
let Baltimore and Philadelphia get
ahead of us so let's have a patriot
week next week. and all Of us sing
the chorus W The Star Spansled
Banner" Everybody knows it. II he

BARBER SHOP
 TOTAL LOSS
Jack MOntgonery's Barber Shop Ruined In Early Morn ing Fire In Remmel
 Building.

The second fire this Fall in one of the Remmel buildings on Hazel street took place Sunday morning about 2:30 o'clock, when the barber shop of Jack Montgomery was an almost com- plete loss entailing a total loss to building and contents of S5,000 or over.
 The blaze was under good headway when discovered and the fire company did good work in confining the damage to the one building. The origin of the flames must have been from the electric wiring, for the stove and boiler room in the rear shows no trace of fire.
 MT. Montgomery had a we'll equipped and modern shop and also the fixtures of another shop stored in the rear, which were complete loss. The chairs, mir TOTS and all furnishings except the lavatories and bath tubs were ruined. He estimates his loss at about S4,000 with $2,000 insurance and aout $500 sal wage. The loss on the building owned by MT. H. l.. Remmel is covered by insurance.
 MT. Montgomery will pur- chase new fixtures at once and reopen his shop in a new location as soon as possible.

Announcing Imperial Ancestors
 of Declaration of War.

United Press Dispatch.
 Toklo, Oct. 12.-For the past two weeks, a large part of the Japanese officialdom has been busy announcing to the spirits of the many imperial ancestors the declaration of war on Ger many. The most important of these ceremonies was held at the Imperial Sanctuary in the palace at Tokio, conducted by the Emperor himself. Special messengers were dispatched to the Grand Shrines and the Tombs of Emperors Jimmu and Mejji. The Japanese firmly be- lieve that these ceremonies make them invincible in war, owing to the aid given them by their ancestors. Most Japanese books dealing with the Russo Japanese war gave the Imperial Ancestors credit for Japan's victory in that conflict.
