PROTEST MUST BE MADE

Washington, March "A protest
must be made to England to maintain
this nations dignity and possibly
save our commerce. This is the semi
official attitude of the American
government regarding the allies
plan to cut Germany off from the
world by sea.
America s trade at this time with
ment is expected to take the view
that 1t should not sit silently by and
have non-contraband cargoes swept
from the seas in the cross-fire of re-
prisals between England and Germa-
ny.

$50 CLUBMEN DINE
Optimistic Outlook Charac-
teriZes Talks of w. J. HO-
gan and George Seidel,
Clubs President.

European war and American pros
perity dominated the speeches at the
Commercial club banquet, the most
successful social affair the club has
undertaken in it's history.
With $50 members present, the big
gest gathering of Commercial club
members known, there was hardly
room enough to place them in the
big Masonic temple banquet hall
President Seidel admitted last night
that the program was unusual, even
for commercial club affair. Addison
G. Harris, of Indianapolis, former min
lister to Austria; William Dudley
Foulke, named the most versatile and
widely travelled man and one of the
greatest students Richmond has ever
had; Hon. w. J. Hogan, Indiana manu-
facturer and president of the Indiana
Chamber of Commerce, and others ad-
dressed the unusual gathering.
Harris Recalls Youth.
"The king of Indiana lawyers" as
Addison c. Harris was called alluded
first to his life in Wayne county be-
fore delivering his Austrian speech.
He was born, and lived on a farm q
half mile east of Greensboro until he
was II years old. His ancestors came
here in 1905, among the earliest North
Carolinians who settled i'll the county.
When he was still a boy, he said, he
and his father counted 1900 kindred
in this county of the Harris-Lewis fam
lily which intermarried.
After his appointment to the diplo.
matte service, he said, he received a
note from Samuel L. Clemens, telling
him to stay at a certain hotel, because
there the elevators went both up and
down, while at other places they only
carried passengers upward, and there
after his friendship with Mark Twain
developed, and through the humorist
he and Mrs. Harris met many of the
best people of the Austrian capital.
Stamps War of Races.
! After taking up a description Of the
country of Austria-Hungary, of it's
people, its ruler Francis Joseph, and
the intense racial antipathy which ex
listed there, Mr.. Harris declared that
the war of Europe is a war of race
and might continue until the last man
Of one of the races has been killed.
! The reported capture of 100000 Aus
trian soldiers by Russians on the broad
Austrian plains is an impossibility
Mr.. Harris declared, unless the Aus
trians threw down their guns and re
fused to fight their Slavic brothers OF
the other nation.
! austria has more population than
! England, France or Germany" Mr.
/ Harris said. Its inha abitants number
60,O00,000. About one fourth of the
population are Teutons cf German
blood.
"These people live in Austria, anG
because of their bold intelligence anC
self-reliance. they rule wherever they
are. About one-fourth are Huns, anC
the rest are largely Slavs, who are the
same as the Russians, lacking the ag
gressive force that belongs to the Teu
tonic race.
The race antipathy has been such
that they do not even speak each 9th

ing moulders announced that no acts
of violence would be tolerated and that
they would only resort to persuasion L,
prevent men from seeking employment
at the foundry. Some of the strike
leaders declared today that the attack
made on the strikebreakers yesterday
could not be charged against the union
men, the rocks and bricks being
thrown by idle men over whom the
union had no influence The police say,
however, that several strikers were in
the crowd.
Pickets Abuse Workers.
The police also say that for several
days strikebreakers when taken to or
brought from work have been cursed
and abused by crowds assembled near
the factory.
The strike committee has been sue
cessful in persuading many moulders
brought here to work to leave the city,
but factory officials declare they have
enough men working in the foundry to
handle the business on hand
Fred Hetco, driver of the motor
truck which brings the strikeDreakers
to and from work, took a shovel and
dumped off the truck quantity Of
bricks and stones this morning after
unloading the strikebreakers, to the
great amusement of the crowd gather
ed about the factory. Don't hit me,
boys, I'm not moulder," he yelled "If

One man was struck on the leg by a

that he could not work today
The attack was made on the strike
breakers by few strikers on picket

in the crowd which bombarded the mo-

CLOCK MAY SERVE
At EIGHT STREET

The old First National bank clock,
mourned in verse, may be rescued and
kept prominent to Richmond citizens
where it can watch the passing
throng for another two score years
Atwood Jenkins, of Dougan & Jen-
kins, has made a proposal to purchase
the clock and place it in the Odd
Fellows building, Eighth and Main
streets. The works of the clock and
the cog wheel arrangement which run
the hands are being examined to see
if they can be made to fl. into the
Odd Fellows corner
1t is probable that the works will
have to be placed considerably higher
than the face of the clock. The face
will be placed against the corner at
about the same height as it has in
the First National building If place
can be found for the works, the hands
will register the time by means of long
rods and cog wheels.

CLIFFORD REPLACES
LYONS AS JIMMIE"

Daily practices are being held by
the cast of Day Dodgers which will
give "Peggy-AllOf-A-Sudd in the
Earlham chapel next Friday evening.
During the holidays change was
made in the cast owing to the fact
that Robert Lyons. son of DR.. s. R.
Lyons, desired to be relieved of his
role as the principal character in the
play. Wallace Clifford will take the
part of Jimmie, which is the principal
character in the play and Leland Had
ley will play the part of Archie, a
comical character in the play.
The cast is being coached by Miss
Agnes Johnson. The play is a three
act comedy with an extremely COM
plicated plot which is being brought
out especially well by the cast of
characters.
Arrangement has been made where
by Richmond people can secure re-
served seat tickets at the Dickinson
Drug store.

Thy LEASED WlRE.1

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. S.-When the
second days session of the SiXty-ninth
general assembly began this morning,
both houses faced the proposition of
appropriations for the Legislative ex-
penses. The majority members Of
both the senate and the house, it was
forecasted, would line up in favor of
an appropriation measure carrying not
more than $115,000 for the operation
of this session, in accord with the
wishes of Governor RalstOn as ex-
pressed in his biennial message.
This amount is only $4,000 under
the amount appropriated for the ex-
penses of the legislature of 1918 but it
was believed that a good part of this
years appropriation would find it's
way back into the state treasury at
the end of the session.
There is a Well-defined movement
on foot amoung legislators to dis
courage as far as possible the intro
ductiOn of bills that have small
chances of passage.
Sessions Are Short.
Today's session in both houses was
expected to be short, as the senators
and representatives are expected to go
to Tomlinson hall at 3 o'clock this
afternoon to hear President Wilson's S
address.
Interest in the house today center
ed in the appointment of majority
floor leader which will be made by
Speaker BedweIl not later than Mon

FouIke Issues Warning.
A sinister warning was sent out by
the Hon. William Dudley Foulke at
the Commercial club banquet last
night. The unpreparedness of the
United States for war and the neces-
sity for immediate action to prevent
the United States from becoming ''the
Chinese Empire of North America
was the chief fact Mr.. t'oulke sent
home.
''It is folly to talk about the tariff
or mere economic questions" Mr..
Foulke declared, when the very life
of our republic may be at stake. Our
business is to prepare for emergencies
at once.
"While we are advocating national
disarmament we should be fighting for
peace and for courts to preserve peace
