RICHMOND. va., Oct. 2.-The will of Martha Washington, which has been returned to, the state of, Xirgirn}ia by J. P. Morgan, was stolen. from the Fairfax court house when the town was lo'cDted! # d by northern I!rt m soldiers dur ing the civil war. The soldier kept the paper for years before attempt ing to find a purchaser but finally he offered it to J. Pierpont Morgan, who added it to his private collection
 Suit was brought for the recovery of the relic by the state of Virginia, and the case is now before the su- preme court as the Viriginians claim ed that Morgan was a receiver of stolen goods by refusing to return the property to it's rightful owners.

KITCHENER URGING FOR CONsCR|PI HON
Declares that England is Doomed if -,.' Her Young Men are Not Forced
 Into the Army:

LONDON, Oct. 2.-Lord Kitchener commander-in-chief of the British army, yesterday declared that the time had come when conscription in England and the empire is necessary if Britain was to survive the war. He openly asserted that unless Britain could raise and equip an army at least twice as large as her present force that he allies would be crushed by the Teutonic allies.
 Lord Kitchener asserted that the colonies had done more for the en- pire than had the people of England herself. Canada, Australia and New Zealand, as well as India, had proved loyal and had sent strong forces to fight for the mother country while the young men of England were con tent to remain at home.
 Kitchener was bitter in his casti- gation of the English labor unions He asserted they had prevented even the employees of the government arse> nals working more than eight hours and restricted the output of n1uni- tions while the British armies were compelled to remain inactive from lack of munitions.
 That desperate fight will be made to prevent conscription in the British Isles is expected but it is believed that Kitchener will force the govern ment to raise another big army and to take over more intuition factories in order to provide equipment.
