contained nearly a quart of gasoline.
One of the boys lit a match and drop
ped it into the can and another gave
it a kick over against Dale who had
his back turned and the gas and fire
covered his clothing. Dale started to
run like a wild man and thought he
was going to burn up. Some of the
boys caught him and rolled him in the
grass and Mrs. Bunday came out and
helped, saving his life. A physician
was summoned at once and the burns
dressed. His leg was so badly burned
he was unable to move it for three
or four days, but is now getting well.
He was also burned a little about the
face.

u. 5. FEELS STRONG
IN WAR TROUBLES

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-Secretary Of
the Treasury McAdoo today establish
ed an office in the sub-treasury and
took effective steps to protect the
finances of the country from reaching
the appalling state of those in Europe.
Throughout the day McAdoo was in
constant communication with Wash
ington over a private wire.
Among the protective measures de-
cided upon at the conference was one
that involves the immediate Issuance
Of $100,000,0O0 emergency currency to
protect the gold supply. This act is
permissible under the Aldrich-Vree-
land law which authorizes the issu-
ance of $500, 100000 currency. Of this
allowance only $100,0OO,OOO has been
issued, making $40O,O0O,0OO available
at this time, if needed.
Leading bankers here, however, feel
confident that an issue of 100000, 900
will meet any contingency. They point
out that there is more currency in cir
culation now than at any time in the
financial history of the United States.

GERMANY DENIES
intent ON BELGIUM

LONDON, Aug. 3.-Count Lichnow-
sky, the German ambassador, issued
a formal statement today declaring
that Germany had no intention of in
terfering with the sovereignty of Bel
gium. This was an admission that
German troops had invaded Belgium
territory.
Belgium territory will be safe
guarded" he said. I'm case of any
damage Belgium will be compensated.
Germany has no idea Of interfering
with Belgium unless there is some in
tension of using Belgian ports for war
like purposes.
1--WE were informed that French
troops were assembling in great num-
bers on the Belgian frontier, and Ger
many therefore informed Belgium that
if for strategetical reasons military
marched through Belgian territory this
would not be considered warlike ac-
tion, but only necessity due to French
Initiative"

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-The Unit

he added.
1--WE must act together as Ameri-
cans to see that America does not
suffer" he said. He said the war need
not affect the United States in the
long run.
"The present condition Of the Unit
ed States is sound and she owes it to
the world to keep her self-possession.' -
continued the president He would
take pride in whatever GOODNESS OF
thought and steadiness of purpose the
nation showed in the present crisis
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
sent word to the white house that
there was not cause for alarm and no
element of unsoundness in the situa-
ton, the president stated He said
the country owed it to the world to
give Europe our surplus foodstuffs in
an effort to relieve suffering due to
the war.

ed up and Chance for Mer-
chant Marine.

The all absorbing topic OF CONVEX
sation in Richmond now is the great
European war. Yesterday extra edi-
tions of the Palladium were purchas-
ed eagerly and today the Palladium
bulletin boards were closely watched
by interested crowds.
William H. Duning, ST., one Of the
most active members of the local Or
ganization of former German soldiers,
who served in the guard company
commanded by the Emperor of Ger
many when he was crown prince, said
today he knew of no Richmond Ger
mans who intended to volunteer their
services to the Fatherland.
II have read about the outbreak of
.hostilities and the reported reverses
sustained by the German forces, but
remember when 1 read these dispatch
es that they are sent out from Eng
land, which is hostile to Germany"
remarked Mr.. Duning, grimly loyal to
the Fatherland and his former COM
pany commander, now the famous
War Lord of Europe.
To Show Patriotism.
On Sunday, August 16, the former
German soldiers will hold a meeting
at Beallview park and there will be
a patriotic demonstration for the
Fatherland. Probably a number of
German war songs will be rendered
by chorus.
Richmond business men are anx-
iously scanning the war news for the
purpose of reaching some conclusion
as to the effect European difficulties
will have on business in the United
States.
Richmond's big agriculture fmple-
ment manufacturing companies have
for. years enjoyed a large European
trade, especially with Russia. For the
time being this business is lost but a
ray Of hope for much better cOndi-
tions in this line of business is seen
by S. e. Swayne, president of the
Robinson Threshing Machine COM
pany.
Opens Big Market.
Wheat and corn will be demanded
of this country by the European pow
ers but these staples are, of course,
contraband of war, and liable to SCI
zure," said Mr.. Swayne. But there
will be an opportunity to ship the grain
to some neutral European port-Italy
for instance, If 1t maintains its neu-
trality policy-and the bill permitting
American interests to purchase for
eign-built ships passes congress. In
other words If congress permits us to
secure a merchant marine the Ameri-
can farmers will be able to find a Eu-
ropean market for their grain. And
this big market which can be opened
to the American farmer will mean the
stimulating Of the agricultural imple-
ment business in Richmond.
South American wheat growing
countries will also be called upon for
vast wheat supplies and that means
better business for our local factories.
Il have it figured out that this war
will TOT the time being boom Ameri-
can business. What the after effect of
the ruination of European credit, the
destruction of property and the with
drawal of capital from European bust
ness will mean to the United States
remains to be seen.
