preliminary work on war legislation.
Word that King George of England
and President Poincare of France had
dispatched messages of congratulation
to the president was received unof-
ficially Only unofficial information
also came concerning the action of
President Menocal of Cuba In recon-
Germany, by Cuba, and the growing
sentiment for war in Brazil.
Foreign relationships of the United
States today underwent the greatest
change in the country's history
sweeping away practically all the in
ternational questions of the past two
years and substituting entirely new
problems. AS result the state de-
partment Is being entirely reorganized
and the great mass of routine which
has overwhelmed even the highest Of
ficias is to be redistributed along new
lines.
Enormous Work.
The first act by the department
| when war became a fact was to pre-
pare copies of the war resolution
and proclamation for all the foreign
missions here for immediate transmits
sion to their governments. Cables
were sent to American missions
abroad and full mail dispatches pre-
pared to go forward at once. So much
| of this fork has been forseen that II
merely awaited release on word that
| the president had signed the procla
| nation.
! Status Of Armed Vessels.
| instructions prepared several days
ago were sent to the treasury depart
ment to cease Transmitting details oi
the armament and armed guards or
merchantmen entering American
harbors on the ground that hencefortf
no restrictions will be placed on sucl
vessels. Announcement will be made
shortly that allied war vessels have
been given free admission to American
harbors. 1t is probable however, tina,
with the aeizure of German shippinl
here and the enlistment of the Ameri
can navy in the patrol forces, the en-,
tente will withdraw virtually all wa
craft from this side of the Atlantic
Negotiations arc now practically com
pleted for the admittance of America,
armed ships into neutral Europea,
harbors. All European neutrals ar
expected to receive them, except pos
sibly Holland.

ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO
ESTABLISH FULL DELIVERY

With the approach of summer, an
other attempt will be made to estab-
lish City Delivery in this city and we
have every reason to believe that this
will be successfully accomplished, pro-
vided that receipts do not diminish at
this office. 1t is quite necessary that
the patrons of this office see to It that
receipts be kept up to the necessary
$4,000 mark. 1t is evident that a
number of residents of this city have
become very lax in their support of
their home office. In fact, we have
evidence that a number of business
men and other residents are not doing
their full part in the way of support
ana endeavor to keep the receipts at
$4,000.
1t is trusted that all residents of
this city do their full part in support
ing the local post office in order that
City delivery may be established.

NEW MUSICAL AND Fun
PLAY AT APOLLO NET WEEK.

"Pom-Pom," the new muse and fun
play in which Mitzi, formerly lznown
as Mizzi Hajos, will be offercl +
Henry W. Savage at the Kpollo

next, with a Wednesday matinee. II
the first place it presents Mitzi in
trousers, and again there is a chorus
OF peg-legs-chorus girls Nth hickory
limbs that completely upset tradition.
The real blasting of the cornerstone
of musical comedy and the assault on
its most sacred conventions occurs
when the waltz theme is reached.
Every veteran theatregoer can detect
the approach of the important waltz
from afar. The very air seems to get
sticky with its mucilaginous and sac
charine proximity. The moment when
it is introduced is the one moment
when musical comedy takes itself SER
iously. The dialogue tries to lift it
self to a lyric plane. the electrician
mixes his lights to make a moonshine
atmosphere; the hero lets the prima
donna have the centre of the stage.
and assumes an en%raptured expression
while the strings begin sobbing the
prelude that anticipates the birth of a
new waltz.
From the time when "The Merry
Widow" made such a waltz an indis-
pensable ingredient in comic opera. it
has been the law that the waltz shall
be sung by the lyric soprano and the
tenor. Tenors II scarce and more
often a high baritone has to serve.
But when the green and blue spot
lights make moonshine in "Pom-Pomo
and the moment of the waltz motif
has come, the c~ontralto, Rita Dane,
and not the soprano, distils the liquid
notes of "Mon Desir."

MAKING FUN IS
SERIOUS BUSINESS
SAYS CHARLIE CHAPLIN.

Making fun is serious business"
says Charlie Chaplin in the April Wo-
mans Home Companion. at calls for
deep study and concentrated observa-
ton. Fun that causes some people to
laugh makes others frown. That can't
be helped. What matters is-to make
most of the people laugh most of the
time. How to do this is the problem.
"The principal thing you've got to
do to keep an audience in good humor
is to make them think they are supe-
rior to you in intelligence. You've got
to be the clown.
pride comes before a fall, we are
told. Well, there is nothing so funny
as upset dignity. Visualize a bloated
capitalist with D%undreary whiskers,
light trousers, spats, frock coat, silk
hat, all the insignia of a million dol
lars more or less.
"Now when the capitalists whisk-
ers are pulled by an abandoned funny
man, the audience is convulsed. There
is fun in striking contrast. One min
ute there is a nicture of pride and
dignity, austere. exclusive, apart from
common humanity. If I reach out
casually and hook that chap with the
crook of NV cane, drag him almost off
his feet, pull his Dundrearys and step
casually on his silk hat, a wave of
mirth surges over the house. Perhaps
people don't know why. But l do. 1t
is because thew never in all their lives
believed anybody would have the eff
frontery to pull a millionaire's whisk-
ers or step on his hat"

Twenty.three hundred and
sixty men registered in this
county on Tuesday of last week,
and several have registered
since that time. Fourteen hun
dred and sixty-three were
whites, and eight hundred
and ninety-seven were
negroes. 1t is estimated that
about one in fourteen will be
taken in the first CALL. This
means that this county will send
about one hundred whites and
about sixty-four negroes into
training this summer. These
figures may be materially chang
ed by the consideration of the
number of enlisted men from
this county already in the service
as compared with the number
from other states and counties
and by exemptions. The mum
Der may be increased. and II
might possibly be decreased,
but the latter is improbable.

Chesterfield county is like a
newspaper man in at least one
respect. 1t is hard to get enough
money to paw the bills as they
are presented. Those who
have claims against the county
are being paid off by certificate,
which simply states that there
is an approved claim on file for
a certain amount. The banks
do not handle them, and the
holder finds it necessary to carry
over these certificates in many
instances until tax paying time
again, or until the county gets
some money. Our information
is that there is law which al
lows the county to borrow only
fifteen thousand dollars a year
1or current expenses, and that
this amount was borrowed last
year and not paid. Early this
year it was necessary to borrow
this amount to settle the old
note, and the interest was paid
out OF the current fund. The
county has borrowed to the
limit and is at present practically
without funds. 1t is thought
that possibly the law may be iu
terpreted TO mean only the fiji
teen thousand may be borrowed
Tor the current expenses of that
year, and that the amount bor-
roWed to pay the old note will
not be counted as current ex.
penses. In that case money
may be borrowed for the ex.
penses this summer.
