and enthusiastic response. They also
approved another definition, which
was that the worst Stacker in the
country was the Quaker Stacker, the
citizen who took advantage of the
country's willing exemption of him
from bearing arms to avoid all other
forms of war service.
Mr.. Root talked to fifteen or twenty
thousand Quakers all told, and they,
as delegates to the various meetings,
represented about 5000 more. He
found no slackers. He found no group
that was not doing its utmost in the
way of work or money contributions
to serve the country in its war against
Germany. At every meeting that he
attended there were prayers for the
American soldiers in France and for
those who are going there.

SAFE CRACKED
IN CLEVELAN

CLEVELAND, Nov. 26.-Three
night watchmen were found bound
and gagged in the vault at the Higbee
Company store early this morning,
where they had been locked by four
safe blowers who had broken into the
strong box and escaped with a rich
haul.
According to statements made by
officials of the company the safe
blowers got between $4,000 and S1D,-
900 in cash and stole $4,000 worth of
merchandise, including jewelry and
furs.
The watchmen when released. were
almost suffocated, but were revived.
They said the cracksmen gained en-
trance to the building by posing as
secret service men looking for Ger
man spies who were reported to have
plotted to set fire to the building.
The Higbee Company operates one
of the city's large dry goods and de
partment stores in the downtown Sec
ton.
Police are searching for the cracks
men. The huge safe was wrecked by
nitroglyccrine, the work apparently
being done by experts.

Here's Recipe for
New "War Butter''

"War butter" is now being used by
patriotic housewives of Richmond
Mrs. Dudley Elmer, who makes and
recommends this butter, gives the fol-
lowing recipe for it:
One pound butter, one pint of scald-
ed milk. one tablespoon of gelatine
and l tablespoon of salt Cool the
milk and then add the gelatine which
has been dissolved in a little cold
water. Add this to the butter which
has been creamed and beat with a
Dover beater. Put away to harden
and then it is ready for use.
Mrs. Elmer says one pound of but
ter with the ingredients called for
will make more than two pounds af-
ter mixing properly. She recommends
1t as good for table use as well as for
cooking.

acquiescence for himself and all his
people.
Turning from his window, Mr.. Call
put the same thing in more concrete
form by reading parts of his state
ment in recent issue of the society's
Advocate of Peace:
ut is not a matter of theory, but a
matter Of fact that the world has
reached situation where the judicial
settlement of international disputes is
for the time impracticable. After the
government to which we owe alleg-
lance declared itself In state of war,
the judicial settlement of the disputes
between this country and Germany be-
came not only impracticable but un-
thinkable. That we sense this does
not mean that our opposition to war is
abated- Quite the contrary We are

once begun has his whole support.
His statement today was taken as in
dicative of the agitation for war on
Germanys allies which will face Con-
cress when it convenes a week from
today.
There should be an understanding
IF course said Senator Stone, be
tween the two branches of the govern
ment before any action is taken. But
we are, in fact, now at war with Ger
many's allies The situation is anon
alous. 1t would, in my opinion, sim
plify matters greatly if we should for
maIly declare war against Germany's
allies It seems to be exceedingly ad-
visable.

not a large number of Austrian troops
have been on the western front. They
may now or soon, be actually fighting
against the American forces, the two
forces firing at each other Anyway

with Italy which is one of our allies
Just as much as France or England.
To have war formally declared on
the German allies also, Senator stone
thinks, would simplify matters OF do
1nestic concern such as measures to
prevent espionage.
New or amended war tax leg1sla-
ton, according to Senator Stone, who
also is member of the senate fl
nance committee, should not be under
taken until after a thorough survey OF
the situation. He said there was no
doubt that in many respects the new
war tax law can be improved and
probably will be to remove inequali-
ties and injustices. The session, he
predicted, would be long one.

War Department and the sight does
not irritate him. In fact, he pointed
to the War Department flag the other
day when he was asked what the
American Peace Society stood for in
the presen. crisis. There it is," he
replied, "over on that staff, the flag

CITY FACES
SHORTAGE OF
NATURAL GAS
Ohio Towns Drawing Heav-
lily On Fuel, Cutting Down
Pressure in Richmond.

Richmond's natural gas supply may
be seriously curtailed during the en-
tire winter if factories in Ohio cities
continue to draw heavily on the sup
ply, according to F. S. Bates, county
fuel administrator.
Richmond's gas supply, which was
at low ebb Saturday night, had re-
turned to normal Monday. The press
ure Saturday night fell to nearly four
ounces below normal The supply in
the gas tank, to meet such emergen-
cies was exhausted in several hours
time, due to the heavy usage at the
supper hour.
Fuel Administrator Bates said Mon
day he had notified the state fuel di-
rector of the situation in Richmond,
and expected some investigation to be
made by the state director.
May Occur Again
The shortage in gas in Richmond,
such as was experienced Saturday
night, may occur at any time again un-
less the factories in the Ohio cities,
which are served by the same gas
lines serving Richmond, are cut off.
According to Nimrod Johnson, man
ager of the Richmond Light, Heat &
Power company, these factories were
to be cut off the lines on November 1
and gas supplied only to domestic con-
sumers.
However, the state fuel director for
Ohio has refused to ship coal to the
manufacturers who are working on
government contracts and has ordered
them to use gas, Mr.. Johnson said.
Gas consumers will be compelled to
pay a much higher rate than the pres
ent one if artificial supply is used to
supplement the supply of natural gas,
Mr.. Johnson said Besides this, arti-
fetal gas cannot be used for heating
purposes.
