To EARLY PEACE
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

AMSTERDAM, oct. 10-ln address
ing the reichstag, Foreign Secretary
Won Kuehlmann said, according t. Il
Berlin dispatch, that as far as he was
able to view the world situation, there
was no impeachment to peace, no ques
ton which could not be solved by ne
gotiations, except for the French de-
mand for Alsace- Lorraine.
There is but one ansve:- 10 the
question, can Germany in any form
make concessions with regard to AL

tary. That answer is no. So long

the integrity of the territory handed
down to us as, a glorious inheritance
by our forefathers can never be the
object of negotiations of concessions.
In the course of his speech the for
eign secretary said:
The efforts If the Holy See to bring
about an exchange Of views between
the belligerents have so far as we are
informed, not Vet resulted in any con-
siderable step forward since the reply

NJ ARTHUR BROS.
EMF LOYES TALK
LIBERTY LOAN

Employees at Macarthur Brothers We're
treated late yesterday afternoon to in
teresting talks on the meaning and
manner of obtaining a Liberty Bond,
by Dwight B. Heard, chairman of the
State Council of Defense and W. II.
Thomson, cashier of the Phoenix Ma
tional bank. The purpose ef the meet
ing as outlined by officials of the con-
Germ. was to give employees more lucid
idea of the value of these bonds and
the manner in which to obtain them.
Warren Macarthur acting as chairman
of the session, introduced w. H Thorn
son as the first speaker.
We have been prospecting for a
number of years as q result of the
war, and it is now time for us to get
behind the issue and contribute toward
the successful advance of the cause of
liberty even. if we have to make some
individual sacrifices" said Mr.. Thorn
son, and this can be done by giving
support to the second Liberty Bond
issue.
"A war program calling for 21,000,-
100000 has been mapped out and it is
uh to us TO see that it is carried out and
in the best way possible. If this amount
was raised by taxation it would have
10 be shouldered by the present gener-
alton making very difficult burden
Instead it is being raised by the issuing
of bonds which will not mature for
years and will allow some of the bur
den of expense of the conflict to fall
on future generations"
In closing his talk Mr. Thoms1n eX-
planned in detail the manner in which
the banks We're cooperating with the
government so that individuals desiring
to take out small bonds would be abb
to 90 So Dwight r. Heard, the next
speaker, was introduced by Mr. Nc
Arthur.
In my late travels of the United
States | find that the east has fully
awakened to the seriousness of the war,
said Mr.. Heard, and the west, al
though isolated. is rapidly brought face
to face with the meaning OF the big
war, by the departure of her sons to
the training camps.
Il wonder if you feel as | do when
yon watch the departure of the troops,
that you are being placed on trial. We
who are remaining behind are all being
see that the second Liberty Loan is a
big success, as the successful issue of
this compaign means that We Will be
able to assist the allies and send our
fine body of soldiers to the war front
under the best of conditions. So it is
up tous to assist in every possible way
in making the issue a success"

had a comparatively quiet night.
Just north of the Ypres- Staden rail-

South of PoeIcapelle the British early

this region the infantry had to cross

The British advanced III ii thin line

CAPITOL ENJOYS
DAY Of MOVING

Yesterday was moving day at the
state house. The State Council of
Defense headquarters were moved from
the committee rooms of the senate
chamber to lis North Central avenue
just across from the Hotel Adams.
Many reasons necessitated this change
There was insufficient room at the
state house, the quarters occupied by
the council being needed by other state
departments. Also the Council of De-
Tense headquarters now are in the CELL
trail part Of the city and more accessi-
Bile to the many people whose business
takes them to that important federal
organization.

of the state house vacated by the COM
mission of state institutions now are
occupied by G. H. Bolin, state mine

WHAT HAPPENED AT
THE CHAUTAUOUA
BY Henry McFarIone

The Richmond Chautaqua has
done more this year to interest the
Junior than any other year.
Of course the first day Sunday
Sunday school was on the program.
That did not interest many, but
lots of us had to 60 just the same.
The second day the Chautauqua
management tried what they never
had tried before-putting on the
same program with Bryan, Empey
and other noted speakers, a real
representative of the Juniors them
selves, Alice Louise Shrode.
Little Miss Shrode gave one of
the finest programs ever given by
ten-year-old girl. Besides, Alice
Louise is the only child of her age
that any Lyceum bureau employs
Her program included Naughty
Zell' and many of Riley's poems
She can sing and whistle as well
as she can read.
THE Dutch DOLL" representing
toy shop and a man who was try
ing to create a human being from
wax, to act as wife for his only
son, was also appreciated by the
front line of children, Monday
night.
On Tuesday Signor s. Bellino
gave an Accordian concert in which
he pleased the crowd so much that
every boy whisled and cheered,
especially when ne initiated the
drums.
"The Last Days of Pompeii" was
shown in moving pictures but on

The Baby in the Street Car

The other day when ! was in
Richmond on the street car there
was little baby. 1t was very
naughty. 1t would not stay where
it was put. First it wanted to look
out of the window, then it wanted
to sit in it's mothers lap and at last
it wiggled down till 1t got on the
floor. This was not nice place
for baby, so the mother caught it
up and tried to settle it on her lap
But that naughty baby bent itself
back and stretched out it's little
legs, and gave such loud yell that
everybody in the car jumped and
looked scared.
Then the poor mother, who look
ed quite wornout, gave the baby's
hand a slap that seemed to drive
the naughty all away, for the little
arms went up around mammals
neck, and the little face, full of
shame now, hid itself on her shoul-
der Soon the baby, who was only
naughty because it was tired and
hungry, went fast asleep.
Yesterday got into street car
and there was a plump, cosey little
baby sitting in it's mothers lap. 1t
had on white worsted cap and
mittens, and a white cloak, and it
had a first-class backbone too. No
body in the car sat up any more
erect than that baby.
Pretty soon the baby gave a
scream, not an ugly scream, but
more like a hurrah, that made you
feel like joining it. Then it played
on its under lip, and sang such a
funny little tune that the folks in
the car could not keep from laugh
ing. The baby however, took no
notice. 1t was not a show, baby, at
all, but ii knew how to amuse itself,
and seemed to be saying, I'm hav-
ing a good time! There's lots of
fun In the world" There wasn't
one in the car who didn't feel like
giving that dear, good little baby
hug and a kiss.-J. s., Economy,

BETTY MORRE'S

CHAPTER ii

Betty looked among the crowd
for her grandmother. Presently a
little old lady came up to her.
She said, Are you Betty Moore?'
| am sure you must be-"
Yes, | am Betty Moore" Are
you my grandmother" replied Bet
ty.
Yes, am your grandmother"
said she.
Grandmother, meet my friend,
Virginia West" said Betty. Il met
her on the train. She Is going to
the same school am. Won't that
be nice?
Il am glad to meet my grand
daughters friends" said her grand
mother. Il think l have met Miss
West before. Betty think we had
better go home. Won't you ride
home with us Miss West?'
mo, thank you,"' Virginia re-
piled. my father is here after me-
had better 60 home with him.
Goodbye Betty, l will stop for you
tomorrow on my way to school,"
"Goodybye Virginia." cried Bet.
ty, Il shall be ready for school"
Come, DEAR" said her grand
mother. Our machine is here. II
we do not hurry we shall be late
for supper"
Betty followed her grandmother
to the machine. She got in beside
her grandmother and they drove to
the house. Betty was surprised to
see large house set back in a
beautiful lawn.
rs this your house grandmotb-
err" said Betty. 1T is so beautiful
and so different from the ranch"
Yes, this is my house and your
home, dear" replied her grand
mother. Il hope you will like it
here"
AS Betty followed her grandmoth-
er in the house she wondered why
her father had never told her how
rich her grandmother was.
Betty you may go to your room
and dress for dinner" said her
grandmother. Your room is at the
top of the stairs"
Betty went into her room. She
was surprised to see that the comb
and brush had the initial "B" on
them.
When she went down to supper,
she said, Grandmother, have you
had the brush and comb made es-
pecially for me-"
mo, dear" replied her grand
mother, That was your mothers
room. though perhaps you would
like to have her room"

said Betty with tears in her eyes.

Denver Cooper Improves
Skate Mobile

Denver Cooper has proved him
self one of the young inventors
of Richmond Instead of having
an ordinary skate-mobile like most
of the other boys have, a foot-board
with two little skate rollers on each
end and an upright post in front;
Denver has improved his. Since
you never can tell when an acci-
dent might happen and it always
is safe to have your tools along,
Denver has planned for this by hav-
ing his hammer tied onto the front
of his machine, and having little
black purse tackled on to the board
just below the hammer to carry
the nails. In this way Denver is
prepared for almost anything.
Also the purse is very useful for
carrying money when being sent
down town on erarnds, especially
when paying the gas bill for his
mother, since he can carry the
statement back and forth also,
without any fear of losing it.
Other boys also may profit by
Denver's inventions.

that helps her to reach that ideal.
Girls Scouts are really Soldiers Of
the Home. From nature lore and
sports they learn the lessons Of
health, comraddliness and simple
ity They learn household science
in a way that makes it yield 100
per cent service to the family; and
they also learn those things where
by they can serve that bigger fam
lily, their nation, in its present crisis
things such as photography, sig
mailing, gardening, telegraphy, dairy
work and first aid.
