the mighty problems Of Americas part
in the worlds fight for democracy,
congress convened today through the
opening formalities.
Appropriations Of billions Of dollars
and measures to put the full force Of

ing address. The President will

confine its work strictly to measures
for the successful and speedy prose
cution of the war. There is a general
disposition among the leaders on both
sides to depend upon him to take the
lead in proposing Hthe war measures
and to give him all the non-partisan
support possible.
While the question OF declaring war
upon Austria, Turkey and Bulgaria.
Germany's allies, is being agitated in
congress there Is q general disposi-
tion to follow the wishes of the exc
cutive branch Of the government
which is understood to oppose any
change in policy at this time.

VACCINATION At
ONCE IS WORD
Of OFFICIALS
Means of Preventing Small
pox Epidemic Seen by the
Health Authorities.

The immediate vaccination OF all
children and adults as a means OF
preventing an epidemic Of smallpox
in Richmond was unanimously urged
Monday by members Of the city and
county board of health and the city
school board.
A number of cases of smallpox have
appeared in Richmond and the situa-
ton. health authorities say. will be-
come serious II the people do not
take the proper precautions.
Every person In Richmond, includ-
ing adults, as well as children should
be vaccinated at once" DR.. M. F.
Johnston. member of the school board
said. "It las been proven conclusive
ly that vaccination prevents small
pox.
Richmond will face a very severe
epidemic of the disease II people fail
TO take these precautions" he said.
while this may be alarming it is
much better to be alarmed than to
have smallpox"
Children viii ee Barred.
School children, who have not been
vaccinated within a reasonable length
OF time. will not be permitted to at
tend school beginning next Monday
morning. under an order issued Mon
day by the city board Of health.
Every pupil must be. or must have
been recently. vaccinated before they
are allowed to attend their classes. A
number Of cases have appeared in the
schools of the city and two children
were taken from Garfield school Mon
day morning.
The first smallpox was brought
here by negro girl from Dayton. &C.
cording to Dr. S. G. Smelser, secre-
tary Of the city board of health. The
case was diagnosed as chicken-pox
while in reality it was smallpox.
"The situation is not alarming and
/ believe that it can be adequately
met II the people fully relaize the
gravity of the situation" DR.. Smeleer
said.
Red Cross workers, who are KNIT
ing or sewing for soldiers, are urged
to keep their articles at home until
they have definitely learned whether
they have been exposed to the disease,
Dr. L. F. Ross said. All articles will
be thoroughly sterilized before they
are sent to soldiers.

France will have to face those troops
released from the Russian frontier.
Are Allies Doing Their Best?
Time flies in war even more rapidly
than in peace. Only a few weeks ago
/ was present at an interesting discus
sion in Chicago between an English
man and an American, both of whom
had just returned from Russia. Each
held an entirely different point of
view as to what would happen in
Russia. but neither of them expected
a separate peace. Yet this immense
change in the war has come about in
a very short space Of time.
Are the allies doing all they can to
speed up and get as many men into
the fighting line as possible? We in
Europe, who are near to the war and
who have the stimulus of the great
conference of which Col House is the
center, know that every minute is OF
utmost importance.

REGISTRATION
OF EVERYBODY
FOR SERVICE
IS SUGGESTED.
DR.. Harold Advocates Listing
All Persons Over Fifteen
Years with Respect to
Their Loyalty.
REASONS ARE CITED

DR.. I. F. Harold has submitted the
following:
There Is no place under the Stars
and Stripes for neutral, a Stacker, or
an Indifferent citizen, no matter what
his vocation may be-.
The Scripture texts. "He that is not
for Me is against Me-" and "He that
gathereth not with Me scattereth
abroad" applies here and now.
II Is time for all loyal Americans
everywhere. in city and country: those
who remain at home while our brave
boys are crossing the sea to defend
US; who have breathed the pure air
Of freedom; who have been inspired
by her doctrines Of justice and right,
union and liberty. to rally to the de-
tense Of their country to the last man.
The principles which we have held
so dear. and for which patriots have
sacrificed their lives. are in great dan
ger of being snatched from the face
OF the earth Our country is threaten
ed with devastation. our institutions
and homes with destruction. and our
inhabitants may be reduced to state
OF serfdom under the tyranny OF soul
less and heartess military despots,
who already have taken Joy and hope
from a great part Of the world. and
murdered millions OF helpless victims
and left other millions In condition
worse than death.
Patriots Not Indifferent
We are not patriots II we remain in
different to the demands made upon
US.
For the purpose of bringing home to
every nook and corner of the country
the tremendous part that our nation
Is expected to take In the worlds
crisis and to maintain the high ideals,
as stated by our president, we should
organize every township as . unit OF
the county. and every county as unit
Of the state. and every state as unit
Of the nation. il
Every citizen sheuld be registered
by township and given registration
card. No man or woman above the
age Of fifteen years should be exempt
from this registration.
A copy OF this registration should
be In every county seat and desig-
mating mark should be attached to
each name. which shows whether that
person is loyal and active, inactive and
indifferent. doubtful Or disloyal.
This is for the purpose OF assisting
the State Council OF Defense and the
County Council Of Defense. 1t should
be conducted under their supervision
and directed by them In this way,
it is possible to carry on publicity
campaign which would impart author!-
tative information to all arts of the
county.
Efficiency Encouraged
All persons should be encouraged to
become more efficient In whatever
vocation they may be engaged. Farm
