The Donjon.

The donjon, or keep, Of the castle
was a tower within, much stronger
than the rest of the structure and de-
signed as a last resort for the garrison
when the walls and other portions Of
the fertilization had fallen into the
hands of the enemy. The donjon was
generally provided with secret exit, a
tunnel being constructed, often many
hundreds of yards in length, leading to
some concealed outlet through which
the besieged could receive succor or, In
time of necessity, escape.

The Millennium Will Come:

When rulers have learned to sacrifice
personal ambition for the lives and
happiness of their subjects.
When the rich cease to extort from
the community the necessaries of life.
When patriotism inspires the maker
of laws and the subject of laws.
When the strong help the weak
When every ones motto is, "Do unto
others as you would have others do
unto YOU"
When history ceases to repeat itself.

Richmond factories will be forced
to close or run on short time If the
government takes over all steel mills.
John NJ. Lontz, president of the
Richmond Commercial club and head
of the F. & N. Lawn Mower factory
and Malleable Castings company, pre-
dicted this result of the governments
action this morning.
A story from Washington in morn

would be asked to c mmandeer the
products of all steel oils to provide
materials for the 81 ip building pro-
gram and for war munitions.
Practically all the factories in
Richmond use steel in greater or
smaller quantities and II the govern
ment commanders the steel output
of the country we will be forced to
suspend operations" he said.
Lontz believes congress will refuse
to support so drastic a measure. how

continue business as usual Such ac-
tion would affect seriously the labor

Already the British have reacted so
strongly that most of the ground lost
in the vicinity of Fresnoy has been
regained. The Germans still are cling

upon 1t is SO insecure that its recap

WAR CRISIS
Youthful Correspondent Says
Wilson's Notes Helped
Cause of De ocracy
Among German People.
NATION IS THINKING

Carl w. Ackerman, now famous war
correspondent, was welcomed home
last night.
Before an audience Of old acquaint-
ances and home folks that filled the
Coliseum, Ackerman described the
struggles OF democracy in Germany.
Carl Alderman, authority on the
European situation, appeared no diff
left Richmond few years ago, un-
heralded and unknown.
AS he stood on the platform he ap-
peared extremely youthful. slender
and pale. In fact he looked like q
mere slip of boy.
He spoke calmly, in a conversation
al tone. His words were those of q
man who has experienced part in a
world cataclysm. They were the words
Of a man, mature in knowledge and
judgment.
Appreciate Cause for Fame.
Before Carl Ackerman had finished
speaking. every man and woman knew
why their fellowtownsman had risen
so rapidly to the heights Of .recogni-
ton in the journalistic world.
William Dudley Foulke introduced
Ackerman, who was given q cordial
ovation.
The lecture and the answers to
questions at the close Of the formal
address were based upon Ackerman's
experience as Berlin correspondent for
tho United Press, q news gathering or.
ganization.
In this capacity the Richmond man
became conversant with the inside of
German politics and motives and had
opportunity to travel throughout the
Central Powers, making observations.
Following Mr. Foulke's laudatory in
PRODUCTION, Ackerman confessed that
he was man with a past. He related
how he had been tried in border
court on a charge of having violated
Dutch neutrality.
Although oatmeal and hot water
bottle which he had purchased in Hol-
land were confiscated, Alderman es-
capped Jail sentence and received only
a light fine.
Refers to Local Scare.
Jokingly he referred to his first
realization that the United States was
in the war. During the dinner hour
last evening, much preturbed woman
called the Ackerman home by tele-
phone and asked If the Coliseum would
be safe. She reported the prevalence
of a rumor that the building was to be
destroyed by persons OF pro-German
tendencies.
German people. according to Acker-
man. are beginning to think for them
selves. At the beginning OF the war,
the Kaiser did their thinking for them

CONVERSATIONAL
vAINLY TO ARRIVE
AT AGE COMPROMISE

WASHINGTON, May 9.-Conferees
of the house and senate on the war
army bill today sought to compromise
their differences over the question of
whether Colonel Roosevelt shall be
permitted as provided by a senate
amendment to raise volunteer force
for service in France. Prospects of
an agreement, however, on this, the
main issue, seemed slight.
The only hope held out for COM
promise was said to be based on the
chance that the senate might recede
from its position on the question. In
that case, it was said the house con-
ferees might accept the senate amend
ment fixing the age limit of those
subject to selective draft at 81 to q,
in lieu of the house provision fixing it
at from 21 to 40.
