Ex-President Taft has written to the
president of the Commercial club urg-
ing the club to cooperate in the move
ment to create sentiment among bus
mess men in favor of a rational plan
for world wide peace to be worked out
through international agreement after
peace has been declared in Europe.
Mr.. Taft is president Of the League

country to support the leagues plat
form.
The Commercial club recently voted
down a referendum sent out by the
United States Chamber of Commerce
asking the United States to take the
iniative in the movement toward en-
forcing peace in the world. The propo-
sails made in the letter OF Mr.. Taft
are practically the same as these made
in the referendum.

which Charles E. Tebbetts is chair

to increase materially the naval and
military forces of the nation, and to
take any steps looking to the introduc-
tion OF military training in the public
schools" The sentiment was first
voiced by N. c. Heironimus. and with
the endorsement of others attending
the session, a record was made.
The Rev. Mr.. Sykes appointment to
the West Richmond Friends church
has been considered for some time.
Definite proposals will be made to him
by the committee. The Rev. Mr..
Sykes is native of England. and was
formerly a teacher in Bloomingdale

BUNS WAY HOME
TO SPEND HOLIDAY
WITH HIS PARENTS

The desire to be home for Christmas
has too great an appeal to Otis Kitchin,
II, of Kansas City, Mo. and although
he had travelled as far as Richmond
on his way east, he agreed to return to
his parents when funds were provided
for him by the social service bureau.
Young Kitchin was found begging on
the streets yesterday and because he
looked like an Industrious boy, his
case was brought to the attention of
Secretary Melpolder by Rev. E. G..
Howard, pastor of the First English
Lutheran church, to whom he appealed
for help.
After long talk with Mr.. Melpolder.
the boy finally confessed to having left
home several weeks ago and bum
ming" his way east. He told a con-
flict,ng story but finally confessed
that he had robbed his parents of
enough money to go to st. Louis.
kilograms were sent to his parents
in Kansas City who wired immediate
ly to make arrangements to send the
boy home. They said they were poor
and unable to send money for his re-
turn but wanted him home for Christ
mas.
The boy broke down when he heard
the message from his mother but re-
fused to accept any help from local
people. After some persuasion, how
ever, he agreed to accept enough
money to return home and promised
to repay the local bureau as soon as
he arrived home.

HUGH tn. MILLER
QUITS RACE FOR
SENATE hONORS

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. 1O-In a
letter addressed to Indiana Republic
ans Hugh Th. Miller, candidate for the
Republican nomination for United
States senator; now in a sanitarium at
Saranac Lake. N. Y, Announces the
withdrawal Of his candidacy. Mr.. Mil
Ter states his action was taken on the
advice of his physician who says the
strain of campaigning would be too
ever that assurance of his recovery
within 60 days has been given by his
physician. Mr. Miller has been suf-
fering from lung trouble.
Since it became known that Mr.. Mil.
Ter would enter the senatorial race his
campaign has made satisfactory prog.
ress owing to the generous support
from Republicans throughout the state
With his withdrawal comes the news
that new candidates will enter the
field. In this connection the names of
Will Hays, G. o. p. state chairman.
and Harry S. New, former national
chairman are mentioned. And al.
though Mr.. New sometime ago an
nounced he would not be a candidate
it is believed the turn of affairs due
to the withdrawal of Mr.. Miller may
induce him to reconsider his declina-
ton to run. Other senatorial candi-
dates already in the race are James E.
Watson, Arthur r. Robinson and
Walter Olds.

to play in world politics before the
war comes to a close.
