WAR CAUSES SOCIALISTS TO
SHY AT RUNNING FOR OFFICE

Asked what he thought Of the ar.
rests of leading socialists and the re-
cent raids ON the l. w. w. members.
Lane said he believed the raids on
Socialists would be re-actionary at
coming elections"
He declared that the time is rapidly
nearing when a wave of Socialism
will sweep over the country" and also
when a Socialist will occupy the presi-
dents chair.
He also declared that the Socialists
of Richmond, as are the socialists over
the entire country, still in favor OF
forcing a peace measure upon the
government.
II don't think however that any of
the members of the party have done
anything reasonable" he said. They
should live UP to the law and il the
law don't suit them they should change
it. That's my motto.''
This country could have peace any
time it wants 1t. But 1t doesn't want
it because the capitalists have some
thing to sell"

STOCKHOLM
STILL KEEPS
SILENT ON
INTRIGUING

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.-The gov
ernment today still was waiting for
some indication of how the Swedish
government regards the Disclosure of
the part taken by its legation IN Bue-
nos Aires in transmitting Germaa} le-
cation dispatches to Berlin.
Neither the Argentine ambassador
nor the Swedish minister here pre-
sented any message from their gov
ernment and it was indicated that un-
til one or both had communicated with
the state department this government
would take no steps towards the de-
velopment of what may lead to seri-
Gus alteration of Sweden's position
among the neutral governments.
People Not Accused
At the state department today it
was made clear that there was no
disposition to question the good faith
and honesty of the Swedish people.
The distinction between the people
and the government was carefully
pointed out.
That Argentina will take prompt
steps toward securing an explanation
from Sweden is assumed and the
state department will be surprised if
the Argentine foreign Office does not
force the recall of Count Luxburg, the
charge d'affairs, who advised the sink
ing of Argentine ships without leav-
ing any traces. and who referred to
the head of the foreign Office as
"notorius ass"
That the incident has been regarded
by this government as warlike act
by Sweden was absolutely denied.
What may develop is different thing.
At present there has been no change
in the position of the two govern
ments.
No Restriction Placed
This government has attempted no
restriction upon free communication
between Sweden's representative and
their government and there was no
indication that any would be imposed.
This government regards the entire
question as more direct grievance of
the allies than of the United States.
Whether this government got the
dispatches 1t published from its own
agents or from those of one of the
allies, remained a secret.
Refusal also was made to discuss
the question as to whether all the in
formation in possession of the depart
ment had been made public.

Corn Meal Cheapest

WASHINGTON, Sept 10. - Corn

ing to Herbert Hoover, who in a state
ment urges more general use of meal
for making bread.
There is twice as much nutritive
value in dollars worth of corn meal,
as in dollars worth of wheat bread
at the present prices" Mr.. Hoover
said. And corn must play an i'm
portant part in the conservation OF
wheat products. There are four
bushels of corn raised in this country
to every one of wheat, and corn meal
is as good for food as is wheat
Increased use of fish as food also

"As matters stand, the allies have

that no allied government wishes to
visit upon the Swedish people the ex-
treme punishment of war for the Grim

All the London newspapers in their
editorials similarly denounce in un-
measured language Germany's action

The President yacht Mayflower with
its convoy was still in the harbor this
morning but prepared to weigh anch-
or later in the day and continue the
cruise upon which esident Wilson
and Mrs. Wilson embarked at New

the water front, but it was made
known that the President wished to
avoid anything in the way of demon
stration.
1t was not revealed just when the
Mayflower would sail and it was init
mated that the President would not
have left the Mayflower yesterday if
his plans to do SO had become known

mrs. BRADFORD SPOKE
New Method Of Learning Music With
Aid Of Photographic Records
Was Interestingly Exempt
fled by Pupils.

"W,, the teachers and principals Of
the public schools, realizing the great
advantage to the pupils of the i'm
proved .1ethod of teaching music by
means of Photographic records, have
assumed the expense Of placing it in
the public Schools said Mrs. Brad
ford in an Introductory talk last night
to the handredS of people gathered in
the Coliseum t. listen to exemplifca-
tions of the musical work of the public
school pupils and to see their exhibit
tions of physical culture training.
Mrs. Bradford explained that the
cost of installing the new system of
music teaching amounted to $3.50 and
as the school board is working on a
budget planned before the thought of
putting in this system occurred, that
neither she nor the teachers considered
it fair to ask for an appropriation to
cover the expense. Therefore, the
teachers assumed the responsibility of
paying for the apparatus and last
night Is entertainment was the first of
series that will be given for the pur-
pose of raising the money
The entertainment consisted in the
exhibition of the work of the two new
est departments of the public schools
that of music which has been installed
for five years and that of physical
training which is but a year old so far
as the work under special director
goes
One OF the most beautiful numbers
given was "Spin, Gretchen, Spin, !"
sung by the High School Girls Glee
Club under the direction of Miss Cam
eron, music director in the schools, and
taught directly from the photographic
records. The clarity of tone in the
three parts the alto, second alto and
soprano, and the beauty and finish of
the production spoke well for the ex-
cellence of the new method of teaching.
All of the numbers were good. The
flag drill called forth much enthusiasm
as did all of the physical department
work under the director, Mr.. Hanson.
The musical numbers showed the re-
suit of the excellent training which has
characterized the musical department
of the schools since Miss Cameron has
been at its head.
