GHOSTS AT SURPRISE.

The synopsis of Ghosts to be seen
at the Surprise tonight is as follows;
Alving, dissolute rake, dies ol
his excesses, leaving a son, Oswald
who grows up into a young man OF
excellent habits and morals. OS-
wald's mother has been warned by
the family physician that the son
might inherit the vices Of the father,
but she ignores the advice. As U.s.
wald merges into manhood, however,
he begins to show signs of being
mentally unbalanced. In the mean
time his mother, who wants to see
her boy marry early, arranges a
match with young girl with whom
he is in love. The physician arrives
at the church in time to prevent the
marriage, disclosing the, fact that
Oswald and the girl are brother and
sister. The boy is so overcome when
he learns the truth that he nplunges
into dissipation, as the taint Of in
sanity becomes more apparent. Fl
nally, realizing he cannot escape
the "clutching hand of heredity," he
dies of poison administered by his
own hand.

ENORMOUS COST OF WAR.

All past and v&rrent savings arc

American industrials excite some

Personally, doubt whether thl:

Anti-Saloon Force Sure Of

Next Winter
r. X. BROCK DEFEATED
Man on Whom Fight Was Waged by
''Drys" Loses by Large Majority 10
Major George Allen.

Richmond, Va, Aug. with
many wires down and large portions
of the State unheard from as the re-
suit of a storm, results OF the prl-
mary election for nominations to the
house and senate are in doubt.
Returns so far received show thai
the 'drys' have won, and will easily
have a working majority in both
branches of the general assembly for
the enactment of laws to carry out
the provisions Of the, enabling act
passed at a general election last year.
Several leaders of the "wets" IN
both senate and house have been de-
feated
In the Twenty-eighth senatorial
district. where the Antisaloon League
waged hard fight against Senator
R. K. Brock, the drys scored a vic
tory by electirg George F. Allen by
small majority.
The result of the contes. between
Aubrey E. Strobe and Bland Massle
for State senator in the Nineteenth
district is still in doubt.
In the Twelfth district where
three -corncred fight was waged Fl.
R. Downing won over S. Gordon
Waller, and r. S. Blackburn.
William Tansil Oliver, the leader
Of the wet forces in the house of dele
gates, was defeated for reelection
by Franklin Williams in Fairfax Co.
In the City of Richmond II out OF
81 precincts at midnight indicate the
reelection of James E. Cannon for
State senator and the defeat Of Sena-
tor Louis O. Wendenburg by Charles
w. Hardwicke. The five leaders for
the house of delegates were Graham
s. Hobson, James Fl. Price, E. r.
Fuller, w. NJ. Myers and John 3.

In the race for members of the adj
ministrative board, Henry p. Beckk,
and Eben G.. Folkes were reelected
over Marx Ghnst, who ran Folkes

GERMANY ON THE SEA
Britannia Despite Submarines Still
Rules The Waves.

/ :
The achievements. of the Germans
on land have been the astonishment
Of the world. With very little. help
from Austria Hungary they have re-
sisted all efforts of France
to dislodge them in the west,
while they are making a striking
campaign into Russia. The German
military machine has encountered
more resistance than it expected, but
it has verified the estimates of its
efficiency entertained not only at
home, but in the countries fighting it.
None of the allies went into this war
with a light heart, and the cheerful
cry of "On to Berlin was never TAX
en- seriously.
But the efforts Of Captain Persius
n German naval expert, to prove
German prowess upon the sea are abb
surd. The whole German mercantile
marine is out of commission. All the
commerce destroying cruisers. with
one possible exception. have been des-
troyed. There is one cruiser whose
fate is unknown. If it has not been
destroyed it has been absolutely inert
for many months. The Pacific squad
ron destroyed British squadron, but
was soon thereafter itself destroyed.
With the exception of the submarines,
MI the German navy is carefully bot
tied up.
The submarine may stir the Ger
man imagination, but they do not
percepti6ly disturb British commerce.
The sinking of one vessel in 300 is
not a great achievement. The des-
truction of the Lusitania was hailed
by German writers as the end of
Britannia's rule over the waves, but
British ships are going back and
forth on schedule time. Food and
munitions are reaching the allies in
great quantities. The passage be-
Tween England and France. absolute
ly essential to the cooperation of the
allies, has never been molested. The
submarine began with operations
against war vessels, but they quickly
gave up, and, with an occasional sea-
going victim, their dcpredations are
chiefly upon small fishing vessels.
1t still remains true, as it was a
year ago, that Germany is the strong
est nation upon the land, but Great
Britain is the strongest nation upon
the sea. The fighting vessels Of Ger
many have only once OF twice ven
tured out Of their secure havens, and
then only tc make raid or; two up
on some undefended part: of the Bri-
tish coast guard, and getting. back

hour o. an hour of cannonadlng OF
4 seaside resort or some equally I'M
important place. The sea was never
more controlled by Great Britain
than it is now, Notwithstanding all
the efforts of the submarines, and y
conclusive evidence of this is that the
submarines destroy their prizes be-
cause they dare not try to take them
into a home port. (Phila. Record

NEW BELGIAN GRAY BOOK
Alleged Intention of Germany to sup
press Small Nations

I Havre, August 1.-The new BEL
gian gray book contains a dlspa.cn
by Baron Beyens, former Belgian
J Minister at Berlin, which is pub
ilished as further proof of Germany's
intention to suppress smaller ma
tionalities. The dispatch states that
| M. Cambon, the French Ambassa-
dor, had informed the writer In con-
6dence of a conversation he had had
with Foreign Minister Won JagoW,
after private dinner at Won ia
COWS house. During a recent ao-
sence of Cambon, Won Jagow, meet
ing the French charge d'affairs and
naval attache, had said to them:
Germany and France ought to
come to an understanding about the
construction and points of junction
of railway lines which they project
in Africa in order that there may be
no overlapping.
Cambon asked the meaning of these
overtures. Won Jagow replied that he
and Herr Solf were Of the opinion
that an understanding between
France and Germany and also Eng
land would be very useful.
"In such a case" replied the French
Ambassador, "we must invite Bel
gium to the conference, for she has
new constructions in project in the
Congo. The conference should pre-
ferably take place in Brussels.
"By no means" replied Won Jagow
"Our agreement would be at Bel
GUMS expense.
81 don't understand" said Cambon.
"Don't you agree that King Leo
pold has put on Belgium's shoulders
burden greater than she can dry
Belgium is not rich enough to carry
to fruition an enterprise so vast, sc
far beyond her means and capabih-
ties of expansion. She will nave to
give it up"
The French ambassador thought
this judgment went too far. Won
Jagow, however, pursued his theo-
ries and developed the view that the
great powers alone were in posi-
ton to colonize.
He even expressed the opinion that
the smaller nations in the trans1or-
nation taking place in Europe as Z
result of the development Of commu'
would not enjoy the noe'
pendent existence at present ENJOY
ed, but would have to go.
The French Ambassador. replied
that these were not all the views OF
France nor, so far as he was aware:
Of England. He agreed there was
need of an agreement in. regard to
African development, but, on the lines
laid down: by Herr Won Jagow an
agreement was impossible.
Won Jagow then FASTENED to say
the opinions. he had expressed were
his own private views. He hae
spoken as private person, not as
a secretary of state. None the less
Cambon took serious view OF the
position. He conceived it o. interest
to Belgium to know the feelings
which animated German official poll
tics in regard to lesser nations and
their colonies.
