JEWEL SEES LITTLE
CHANGE IN STRAITS
OF CITY'S voorhees,

No child or woman has left the
door OF the Salvation Army headquar-
ters this winter with a plea for food
or clothing unanswered. whenever the
local workers have been able to help
them.
I'm my ten years. experience as a
worker in the Salvation Army. l have
never seen conditions euch as have
existed in Richmond this winter" said
Captain Jewel. I'VE have been con-
fronted with many perplexing ques-
ton and problems. To my mind, the
hardest problem we have had to solve
has been that of aiding families who
have never had to ask for charity be-
fore"
Captain Jewel said that he could see
little change in the local conditions.
and that there were as many men out
OF work and as much actual want as at
any time during the winter. He said
that the work of the army had been
retarded by the fact that SO many de-
mands had been made on the citizens
by charitable organizations.
The charitable work of the army is
now being assisted through the ef-
forts OF Lieutenant Sewers, who has
just recently taken up the work of in
vestigating homes and families who
have asked for aid. Miss Sewers has
just graduated from the training home
in New York city. This is her first
appointment. She is much pleased
with Richmond. and has already &C
quainted herself with conditions.

B. PETER, well known priest of this

The facts are as follows:
A relative Of Father PETER, a Ger

French soil. requested Father PETER
to send him pair of leggins. Comply
ing with the request of his relative,
Father PETER prepared a package in
which he put tobacco, cigars, choco-

comment is unnecessary. Thereupon
Father PETER sent the leggins to Sec
rotary of State Bryan with the follow
ing letter:
Dear Mr.. Secretary:
II have the honor to send you by

impartial manner in which our Gov
eminent and especially the Office Of
Foreign Affairs, over which you pre-
side, has defined the laws of neutrality

by our Government and it's people.

only a poor priest, without expert

have come to the supposition that
we have two forms Of neutrality in
this country. A neutrality that on
the one hand will forbid the sending
of pair Of old leggins that may be Of
some service for the comfort of an
enemy of the Allies, but on the other
q neutrality that does not forbid the
sending of cannon, ammunition and

Ieggins will make history, as have
done matters Of much less Importance

THAT is the reason why I presume
that this pair of leggins will have
some interest for you.
AT the same time Mr.. Secretary. I
wish to notify you, that this occur

Republic who has good common sense
and a right to vote. but is unaware CT

WAR SUMMARY

There is little change in the military
situation on any Of the various war
fronts.
Reports, which remain unconfirmed,
are that an Austro-German force,
variously estimated at from 10O,O0 to
100000 with 1000 guns. is proceeding
through southern Hungary to attack
Serbia. Military observers here, how
ever. assert that figure between the
estimates probably would be nearer
the truth, declaring that there is no
evidence Of any very heavy with
drawals of Teutonic troops from the
Russian front, and that the western
front every day Is demanding new
drafts.
These observers say the Germans are
not in position to withdraw many troops
from the Russian side as the armies OF
Emperor Nicholas are making a desperate
effort to assume the initiative in the light
ing On some sectors Petrograd reports
that the Russians already have succeeded
In doing this Besides, it is asserted the,'
have now held up Field Marshal Won Hin
denburgs drive against Dvinsk for sew
eral weeks. and inflicted very serious
losses on him Won Hindenburg is now
reported TO De receiving relnlOrCeHlelllS
with view to making another attempt II
force his way through the outer defences
Of the city.
In the west the big guns are seemingly
preparing a way for a continuation of the
offensive of the allies, which the German
doubtless will try to forestall by an at
tack from their side. In Champagne the
French have captured the village OF
Tahure and the summit of the hill OF
Tahure, which is situated at n point OF
the German second line of defence
The Italians record another advance
toward Roverto, which has so many times
been reported as evacuated by the Aus
! trians.
The heavy losses sustained by the Brit
ish and French in their attempts to pene-
trate the German lines in France and tho
large number of men required for the
operations along the Euphrates river an
in the Dardanelles and the Balkans nave
made necessary a further appeal for tho
enlistment of men throughout the coun-
try The Earl of Derbe. who is directing
recruiting and who is receiving the assist
ance of the labor organizations in his
work has taken charge of campaign
the object of which Is to obtain at least
80 coo men weekly. Should it fail 1t seem:
fairly certain that Parliament will adop,
a national service bill.

seph Is dangerously Ill.
