Foreigners Safe in German
Capital and Tourists Grad

Merchants Plan to Regain

War Ends by Educational
Method.

rAsnondenfl

BERLIN, via Copenhagen, thence
via London, Aug. 22.-Official an
nouncement was made today that the
German armies are meeting with con-
tinued success against the allies. No
details of the fighting have been given
that important news may be looked
for very soon."
News of the occupation of Louvain
by the German troops caused wild en-
thusiasm here. Cheers for the emper-
or and the army resounded through the
streets when the newspapers posted
the official bulletin saying that the
town had been taken.
Patriotic spirit is dominant through
out the city. Contributions are pouring
into the various relief funds that have
been started.
Foreigners Safe.
Despite the enthusiasm and excite
ment, perfect order is maintained, and
foreigners are as safe as in their ma
tive countries. At first there was deep
anger against the English, but there
has been no violent evidence of this
since few sporadic outbursts that
were Immediately quelled.
The departure of Americans contin-
ues unabated. They are going from
the capital by way of Denmark. Hol-
land. and Switzerland. Those proceed
ing by way of the latter country are
meeting with difficulties because of
the strictness of the military authori-
ties along the southern frontier. Those
having the proper credentials and evi-
dence of identity, however, can get
through.
Though trade with the United States
is wholly paralyzed by the war, Ger
man merchants are making plans to re-
gain American markets as soon as hos
tilities are ended. With the co-opera-
tion of Prince Beulow and Herr Bal
lin of the Hamburg-American line they
have drawn up pamphlets in English
that give the causes of the war from
the German viewpoint. 1t lays great
stress on the advantage to the United
States of German commerce.
These pamphlets will be sent to
America for general distribution.

PEOPLE RIDE FREE
ON CROWDED CARS

Riding street cars at certain times
of the day without paying fare is be-
ing accomplished with ease by many
citizens of Richmond, especially Chau-
tauqua attenders.
At the close of night sessions, the
cars going towards the center of the
city are overcrowded. While the con-
ductor struggles through one end of
the car collecting fares, passengers
are dropping off at street corners
from the other end.
Last night a woman with several
half grown children rang to have the
car stop at a down town cross street.
Just as the car came to stop, the
conductor reached her and she was
forced to produce the necessary mon
ey.
And just to think, second more
and l would have been around the end
of the car" she said sadly, leading her
train toward home.

LOCAL man TELLS
OF FOUL CONDITION
OF RUSSIAN CELLS
Ed Davis, Old Sailor and Ad-
venturer, Describes Night
Spent With Rats in Filthy
Dungeon.

Ed Davis. sailor, traveller and ad-
venturer, now employed as a night
watchman at a local coffin factory Of
fers sympathy for Germans or Aus
trians who are unfortunate enough to
be thrown in Russian prisons and
tells a story which probably would
create sympathy even in England or
France.
Davis is now living at SAG North
Fourteenth street, having been off the
sea for fourteen years. Although his
life is now one of quietude, he can
tell a personal adventure of every
country Of the world except Palestine.
which he says, is the. only country In
which he has not been.
In his English cockney style, THE
tells of the horrors Of the Russian
prisons. He had landed in Russia
when he was seized and thrown into a
dungeon by Russian police who at.
tempted to take bis mOnay.
The dungeon into which he was
thrown, Davis says, resembles the
prisons of the time of the Spanish in
QUESTION as described by Poe, although
forms of torture, are lacking.
Describes Prison.
Daylight did not reach the place,
he says There was black darkness,
clammy dampness, foul smelling air,
rats and slime and stagnant water
The solitude alone is enough to drive
crazy in a short time a nervous per
son, the adventurer says. An appeal
to the American consul gave him his
freedom.
Davis was born in New Orleans
August 27, 1855. His father was an
Englishman. The family soon moved
to Los Angeles. Three weeks before
he was eight years old, he was forced
from home and started on foot to San
Francisco. From 1863 until 1900 he
travelled over the world. He was a
sailor for thirty-three years.
Davis says he worked as fore watch
on a packet between Dover and Calais
the port for Paris. On this packet the
famous, .London-Paris mail trains were
transported, Davis says at that time
a train was run on the London, Chat.
ham and Dover. railroad from London
to Dover, distance Of eighty miles
in one hour. After transporting on
the packet. a train left Calais for
Paris, giving eleven hour mail service
Toe service has now been shortened
to eight hours by. placing faster pack
cts on the line.
Naval battles in these waters will
require extreme skill unless 1t is close
action, Davis says. The English chan
mel is choppy but is not as rough az
the Bay Of Biscay, lower down.

TEN CENT MILK
RESULT OF Law
SAY MILK men
Dairymen Consider Raise in
Price to Take Effect Sept
l With Operation of New
Ordinance.
Dealers Assert BOttling
Measure Eliminates All
Profits at Old Figure of
Eight Cents.
Milk ten cents a quart.

Milk ten cents a quart.
If the plan now seriously considered
by the dairymen who furnish Rich
mond with its milk supply is adopted
at the meeting, dairymen are to hold
next week this price for milk will be-
come effective Sept. l. the same day
as the recently amended milk ordi-
nance becomes operative.
For about three years the price OF
milk in Richmond has been 8 cents
quart and the dairymen assert that
even without being required to bottle
all milk sold in quantities of a gallon
or less the margin of profit In their
business has been exceedingly small.
Their small profits are due, they
assert, to the steadily increasing
prices of feed for dairy herds, the
strict regulations of the state health
department pertaining to the mainte-
nance of barns and milk houses, and
the action of the city in requiring all
dairymen to take out licenses.
Now that the city milk ordinance
has been amended to require the deliv-
cry in bottles of all milk in quantities
of a gallon or less they assert their
operating expenses will be increased
from ten to fifteen per cent thereby
eliminating all profits if the price Of
milk is maintained at cents q quart.
Therefore, they assert, it is necessary
for them If they are to continue in
business to increase the price of milk
at least two cents per quart
1t was reported today that some
dairymen are convinced that there
will be no profit to them in the retail
milk business under the terms of the
revised ordinance even with milk ten
cents a quart and it is said that two
dairymen are to 60 out of business
the first of next month and that four
other dairymen, two of them being
among those who have the largest
routes in the city, will go out of the
retail business and wholesale their
milk exclusively.
Notwithstanding the general COM
plant entered against the new milk
| ordinance by dairymen, one of the
men engaged in this business who is
said to have the largest route in the
city, has made no complaint against
its provisions. He has been selling
bottled milk exclusively for several
years. the milk being from tuberculin
tested dairy herds. and he has said

Whether he would be a party to any
agreement for increasing the price of
milk is not known.

Press Comment
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.:
wilson's Warning Timely.
INT. Vernon Herald, Republican

INIT. Vernon Herald, Republican,
The warning contained in the re-
Gently issued address of President
wilson to his fellow countrymen"
Is sensible, timely and very greatly
needed. 1t is unavoidable that many
OF US should entertain feelings re-
garding the great war now in prog
ress, which are strongly partisan.
Let each of US remember that we are
first of all Americans and that it is
a patriotic duty Of first Importance
for each one of US to maintain indi-
vidually the same neutrality of word
and action toward other individuals,
which our government is attempting
to maintain for us collectively to-
ward other governments. A disre-
gard of this caution might easily lead
to serious and untoward results. Our
chief executive did wise and emf
nently proper thing when he sounded
this note of warning.
What S-Hour Bill Means.
yakima Republic.)
Initiative measure No. 10, the
eight-hour law, will not make life
any easier for any man who tolls for
wages. Just exactly to the extent
that it relieves him Of effort it will
increase the cost of his living. There
is no royal road to ease and comfort
for any man who works. Law can do
nothing for him, for it will not give
him anything that is another's or re-
lieve him of the necessity of paying
the full price for all those things he
buys. If he shortens the hours of
the working day. he thereby adds to
the labor cost of those things, and
when he does that he curtails his
own opportunities to convert the la
Dor of his hands into the necessities
of his life. An eight-hour law, in this
state of vast undeveloped resources,
would set the country back twenty
years, and thereby rob the workers
of employment to the extent of mil
lions of dollars.
