CHURCH IS after
EIGHTY MILLIONS

Richmond Methodist churches will
be called upon to do their share in the
raising Of an sS0,oo0,o00 fund in the
United States within the next five
years to spread Methodism to all cor
ners Of the earth.
The campaign for raising the addi-
tional money will probably begin the
first Of next year according to Rev.
R. L. Semans, pastor of First Meth
odist church. How much Richmond
and this district will be required to
raise has rot been decided
The money will be raised for the
Boards of Home and Foreign Mis-
sions. This will mean that the
churches will be required to raise
S16,000,000 yearly for the next five
years, in place Of s6,000,O00 they have
raised in the past.
The additional money is necessary
to meet conditions arising out of the
war, Rev. Mr.. Semans said. However,
the campaign for the raising of this
money, will not be placed before cam
paigns for raising money for the gov
ernment and various other forms of
government work, he said.

forts to discover the murderer of
John A. Becker, bluejacket from the
Great Lakes Naval Training station,
who was found dead in downtown Of

PRESIDE, Tex, Nov. 13.-Francisco
Villa is again expected to attack the
border town of Oiinaga opposite here,
and tonight. has been set by Mexican
officials here and in Ojinaga for the
attack.
Following a conference of his chiefs
at NIaijoma, So miles southeast of Oil
naga yesterday, Villa and his forces
We're reported to be moving in the
general direction of Ojinaga by way of
La Mula Pass. This was not confirm
ed although patrols were sent out late
last night from the federal garrison
across the river to explore the coun-
try as far as La Mula Pass for any
signs of the Villa column
Couriers from Villas main command
approached the border last night and
held conferences with Villa agents
from the American side of the river.
Mexican officials here believe Villa is
in command of the troops in person
and that Nipolito Villa, his brother, is
with him.
The purpose of the Villa movement
into this district now is believed to
be twofold~ One is to obtain ammu-
milton in exchange for silver bullion,
seized by Villa and the other. to meet
Hipolito and agents of Felix Diaz to
consider joining the new revolutions

PETR'oGRAD, Monday, Nov. 1a-
Petrograd was still in the hands of the
Bolsheyiki today after desperate street
battles on Sunday in which a handful
Of brave military cadets was killed or
captured by Bolshevih forces upon
whom the cadets inflicted considerable
losses. Meanwhile the city awaits
anxlously the coming of Premier Ker-
ensky who is reported to be nearing
Petrograd, but seems to have his head
quarters at Gatchina.
The new Bolshevih government,
headed by Nikolai Lenine and Leon
Trotzky is having anything but any
easy time in controlling the city as the
committee of public safety, which in
cludes all the elements opposing
them. Is seeking to establish a new

to placard the streets with demands

OBSERVANCE
OF MEATLESS
DAY GENERAL
Only One Restaurant Fails
To Comply-Markets Re-
port Smaller Sales.

Another "meatless" day came to
Richmond, Tuesday, and at noon
George Mckinley, city food inspector,
was able to report more noticeable
general observance of the Hoover
meat conservation policy.
Practically every hotel and restaur-
ant was visited by Inspector Mckinley
Tuesday forenoon. With one excep-
tion the managers of these eating pla-
ces reported to Mckinley they had
arranged meatless menus The one
exception was Samuel Arnold who
conducts a restaurant on Main street,
between Fourth and Fifth streets.
Did Same Last Week.
Arnold informed Mckinley that he
had served meat at breakfast because
he had not been able to secure fresh
eggs. Last Tuesday, Mckinley states
Arnold also served meat for break
fast and had also announced at that
time that he had done so because he
could not procure fresh eggs
Il have been informed that some of
the private boarding houses have not
been observing Tuesday of each week
as meatless day. My duties are so
numerous that l have not had the op-
portunity of calling at every public
eating place in the city, and l have
talked with only two or three women
who conduct boarding houses l am
sure that they can be brought to un-
derstand that the meatless day order
applies to them as much as to anyone
else" Mckinley said.
A few saloons have also not been
observing each Tuesday as a meat
less day.
One saloonist who was selling roast
beef sandwiches Tuesday morning
was questioned by Mckinley He told
the inspector he had forgotten that
Tuesday was meatless day and assur-
ed him that in the future he would
strictly comply with the conservation
order. Similar pledges have been OBJ
talned from the other saloonists who
served meat Tuesday.
Foreigner Curses Her
woman who conducts a boarding
house complained to Mckinley that
some of her boarders insisted on hay
ing meat served to them every day.
She said that last Tuesday a man
who spoke with pronounced foreign
accent cursed her because she served
no meat. He told ner that when he
came to America he thought it was a
free country" He then told her he
intended to purchase some smoked
sausage at a meat market and cook
his own dinner.
Some restaurant patrons have also
complained over the meatless day or
der, but, restaurant men inform me,
the big majority of the people are CIV
ing the restaurant owners every en-
coura cement in the observance of the
Hoover plan," Mckinley says.
Jacob Lichtenfels, proprietor of one
of the largest retail meat stores in
Richmond, Informed Inspector McKin-
ley he would be willing to enter inD
an agreement with other retail meat
dealers to close all the meat stores in
the city every Tuesday.
Lichtenfels also informed Mckinley
his sales were reduced each Tuesday
over fifty percent, and similar reports
have been made by other retail meat
dealers.
