Another paragraph of the letter
reads:
Permit me to add here word of
kindly warning. do not envy any of
you your pleasure or the means which
you possess to bring it to you. but 1t
cannot be denied that the automobile,
golf and baseball and countless other
agencies are eating into the very
vitals of Christian faith and life, alb
sorbing the Christians time, affections
and thought, and producing an apall-
ing Indifference to the things that are
of any real value. And this attitude
on the part of the more highly favored
Is leading the less favored. in their
more narrowed capacities to exactly
the same thing. Can the Christian
view with complacency the thought
that he is pursuing course which
spells disaster for others as well as
for himself? Reflect, beseech you.
This will not do, friends. The day

RUSSIA ORDERS
TROOPS TO QUIT
WARSAW FORTS

By FRANCIS lAVELIE MURRAY.
PETROGRAD, July 31.-Evacuation
of Warsaw by Russian troops has been
ordered as military necessity, 1t was
officially admitted at the war Office
today. The departure Of the civilian
population began Sunday, July 1S, and
Immediately thereafter the garrison
began the destruction Of all property
that might prove OF help to the Ger
mans.
1t was stated at the war office that
reports that Warsaw would be burned
were untrue, Grand Duke Nicholas
having ordered that property of no
military value should be spared. 1t
Is believed that all the fortress guns
that the Russians could not take with
them have been wrecked.
The government indicated special
routes that the civil Inhabitants should
follow, and promised to indemnify
them for their losses. All crops are
being burned. The bridges have been
destroyed and railroads torn up.

CITY DENIES
LARGE CREW
FOR TRUCK

Large motor aerial ladder trucks are
manned in practically every city where
they are used by a crew OF from eight
to twelve firemen. but Mayor Robbins
positively declared tday that the new
aerial ladder truck which is to be add
ed to the local fire department will
be manned by only four men, the same
number which now man the OLD horse
ladder truck.
When Me-hought the truck we were
told BY fire appliance manufacturing
company representatives that four
men would be enough to properly han
die the truck, and there will only be
four men for its crew." the mayor said
today.
Fire insurance representatives have
demanded an increase of five members
for the fire departmnt. and Chief Mil
Ter would like to have at least one
more fireman to be used on the new
truck.
Would Raise Expense.
Five new firemen would increase
the city's expenses $4,000 year and
to meet such an expense the tax rate
would have to be increased thre cents
upon each 500 valuation" Mayor
Robbins declared. Insurance men say
that this increase OF the fire depart
ment would mean an insurance rate
reduction, but such a reduction would
be very small and would apply to only
a few business houses. It would not
bring about reduction in rates for
residences or manufacturing plants.
We can get along with four men on
the new truck At least we are going
to try to mighty hard"
Under existing arrangements there
are six hours every day when there
are only two men available for duty
on the ladder truck, from 6 to s a. m ;,
from II a. m. to p. m, and from to
7p. m. These are the meal hours, two
men being off duty an hour each. In
the event Of big fire during these
hours the new ladder truck would be
very much undermined.
Chief Miller expects the new truck
to. arrive not later than the last Of
next week.

nounced not new but a more deter

association during the following

Mr.. Haas declared that the clut

the completion Of the public work BY
the city government. many general la
borers have been thrown out Of EN-
ployment and but few OF these have
anything in view for the fall and win

WILL EvERSMAN
SUGGESTS G C,s;B
FOR SOCIAL EVIL
President of Police Board
Tells How Many Could Be
Prevented From ''G0ing
Wrong Here.

II Richmond had a segregated dis.
trict so that effective police regula.
ton OF the social evil would be posi-.
bic fifty per cent less Richmond girls
would "go wrong than under existing
conditions.
This assertion was made today by
William Eversman, president of the
metropolitan police board of this city.
President Eversman keeps in active
touch with the affairs of the police
department, spending several hours
every evening at headquarters, and he
says that as q result of his personal
investigation of conditions in Rich
mond he is convinced that it was a
mistake ever to have done away with
the regulation system.
Eversman, it is understood, has no
intention of putting forth any effort to
regulate the social evil along the lines
he advocates, apparently realizing that
such an effort would result in a storm
of adverse criticism. Among those who
are opposed to such a plan is Mayor
Robbins. who said today, when the
question was discussed that he did not
believe an effort to regulate the social
evil would improve local conditions en-
ough to warrant the experiment.
Women Go Wrong.
Eversman declares that at the pres
ent time there are quite few women
on the street in Richmond, and he says
that girls are constantly going wrong.
becoming the victims of unscrupulous
men who meet them upon the streets
or in public places.
1T is the general impression" Ev-
ersman stated, that there are no long.
er any resorts in Richmond. This is
an erroneous opinion. There are quite
a few places of this kind, and they are
the worst kind OF dives because they
are operated without police supervis-
ion and medical inspection. Undoubt'
edly there are quite few resorts our
department has no knowledge of.
There are other places which the po-
lice know are resorts but to put them
out Of business we have to have indis-
putable proof that immoral acts are
committed in these places, and you
may well believe it is very difficult to
obtain such evidence because the keep
ers Of these place take great pains
to thwart the police.
"I would favor the maintenance Of a
few such places in a prescribed dis
trict, the inmates being required to re-
main within the district and the places
being under the constant supervision
of the police, medical inspections be-
ing conducted by. city physicians" the
police board president added.

PRESIDENT fAvORS
PROTECTORATE Plan

CORNISH, N. H. July 31.-Presi-
dent Wilson spent considerable time
today over official dispatches relative
to the killing of two, United States
marines at Port Au Prince, and the
chaotic conditions in Hayti. It is ex-
pected that the president will support
policy that will practically make the
island republic protectorate Of the
United States. A customs receiver
ship probably will be established SINH
lar to that in Santo Domingo. It is
recognized that the marines and sail
ors now in Hayti can not be with
drawn for some time because Of the
revolutionary conditions prevailing
there.
