rNfNANuFI AND CALNARY.

II Is an event for family when 1t changes
!ts habitation-that Is for all families except
those OF travelling preachers-and. therefore
when a whole church family OF several hundred
piled importance.
But when two church families IN one town
on the same day move their residences the event
is OF more than passing moment. Therefore. to-
day when tho congregations of Emmanuel and
Calvary Baptist Churches both shift their bases.
as It were we feel constrained TO express to
both our goo1 wishes for successful careers in
their new locations. Both have had careers Of
usefulness and are moving into larger and more
inviting fields.

STRANDED STRANGERS
GIVEN HELPING HAND
Travclers' Aid Society Comes to Re
Lief OF Many Who Were In
Hard Places.
POSITIONS GOTTEN FOR SOME
Agents For Society Meet All Incom.
ing Trains and An In Need Of In
formation Are Gladly Directed.

During the past week the Travel
ers Aid Society has assisted in
divfdnaIs and families representing
eight different flationalities. The first
to be assisted was an Engiishwoman--
Mrs. Burnes-with her two small chill
dren, who arrived here from West
Virginia in search of employment that
woGld enable her to support herself
and little ones. The Travellers Aid
agents have found position for her
In Charlottesville, and she has gone
to fulfill IT.
Jean castelaine, a young Belgian
girl, was the second person to whom
timely aid was rendered. She was
travelling alone from Chicago to
Claremont, Va, and because OF her
imperfect English was misunderstood
by the railroad conductor and sent in
the wrong direction. After being
rescued here she was taken to the
Y. w. c. A. for the night. and then
sent safely to her destination the next
morning.
Following this incident, the Travel
ers' Aid Society received commune
cation from Hampton, Va. asking the
society's assistance In locating a
Cherokee Indian girl. who was a
stranger and had come to Richmond
hoping to find position.
Stranded With q DIG.
day or so later a Jamaica negro
MANN following his employer who
had come to the States on business
got stranded in the city with no pros
peet of a Job and only ten cents with
which TO ward off starvation. He
was taken charge of by the agents of
the society and after numerous in
quiries they obtained employment for
him.
The Travellers Aid Society agents
who meet incoming trains at the vari-
Gus railroad stations In the city have
assisted-besides those previously
mentioned--a family of italians. sew
erai families of Russian jews. few
HunEarians, and a German woman.

The immigrant question il not new to
us, but IL is taking on gigantic pro-

Officials of the transfer companies
and railroads, who are interested in

sible to have printed cards of explana-
ton and warning to travellers. placed
in the envelopes with the railroad
tickets when they are purchased at
the Offices of stations throughout the
State.

DELAYED TRANSMISSION.

The United States Government does not Ep-
pear immune from delays in the transmission of
its messages any more than private individuals
Tho embarrassment that will be felt by the
Government at the delay OF the note to Ger
many, while II will be increased by the wide
spread publication Of the note in the American
press, viii be lessened by the earnest efforts Of
TIE State Department to prevent its publication
until time when it was calculated the note
would have reached Berlin.
OF course the German Government will &C.
cept the assertion of the State Department that
the delay In transmission could not he fore
seen and is regretted by this Government but
that does not make the incident less regret

THE DEPARTURE OF DR. DERNBURG.

Should reports that Or. Bernard Dernburg is
preparing to leave America prove correct they
will give evidence that the dostor has at last
come to understand that the sort of propaganda
carried on here by him and eliminating in his
defense Of the sinking of the Lusitana cannot
he tolerated even In a republic, At an hour
when all the country in mourning for the
Americans who died on the Lusitania, Dr. Dern-
burg came before the people with statements
that made in any other country would have
landed him under guard or IN the hands of a
mob. One might with much propriety have
gone to the family of a murdered man to de
fend his assassin as have come to the Ameri-
can people at such time and with such an
address.
There is no necessity Of DR.. Dernburg leav-
ing the country il he curtails his activity and
his criticism OF the Government. The admins
tration IS to be again congratulated on It's hand
ling of delicate situation if it shall become
evident that an intmation of It's dispeasure
through the press has gained the end desired
without official action.
