PEACE PARTY UNDAUNTED.
Fight for German Parhamen'ar'
Recognition Grows.

Berlin, Oct. 15.-Mathias LIZ
berger. leader of the Centrist parry
in the Reichstag, which has demand
ed greater Difference to that bodg
from the Government lays that
the developments of the last week
would not interfere with the major
ity parties peace attitude, as. based
on the the resolution of july IL, or
in any way retard the movement Tor
parliamentarization.
If anything, he asserted, the iat-
ter would be more likely to be ac-
celebrated as the result OF the Gov
ernment's predicament growing out
Of the events at Tuesdays session
of the Reichstag.
Herr Erzberger asserted that the
majority bloc, which is now made up
Of Socialists, Centrists and Progress
sives, continues to present Itself Ill
a solid phalanx behind the issues
for which it stands. and that 1t 5
not improbable it will be augmented
by substantial support from the
National Liberals in connection with
some of the more pertinent issues
growing out of the present situa-
ton. Even without that support The
coalition would have an ample work
ing majority.
The fact that the Centrists ami
p~ropressives did not join the Socia-
lists in the vote on the resolution
of censure, and that the Far Leit
party declined to support the meas
,re creating the post of vice-chan-
cellor. does not signify an absence
of complete concord among the coali-
tior parties on the major ISSUES,
Herr Erzberger declared. In spite
of the situation which IS being de-
:cribed in the Liberal press as be-
ing more. than a ~"latent crisis 1t Is
not expected the Reichstag will con
vene before December 5, the date set
at Thursdays adjournment. The En-
peror is expected back October g
from his trip to the Near East, and
it is assured he will confer with the
fractional leaders of the Reichstag.

Wants a Suggestion.
Patriots Corners, Va, Oct. Is, 1911.
Mr.. Editor:
The members of the Liberty Loan
Committee down here at the Cor
ners wanted me to write and ask if
you could suggest a way by which
we could get some of the people
here who ought to buy Liberty bonds,
but don't, TO do their duty .
Notwithstanding the fact that a
company of our boys have vnlun-
tecred and have enlisted in Uncle
SANS army from this place and
have thereby offered their lives 20
their country, on the other hand we
have men here who have not offered
a single dollar with which to buy d
hond in response to the governments
appeals. And yet these same mer-
chants and business men have heea
making money here for years, ana
All that time have enjoyed the pro-
lection of the government they no"
refuse to help in time OF need. SeF-
oral Of them, by the way. are Sald
/, he worth thousands OF Goiiars
o,rh. which has been made here in
town and sent away for investment
in another city, outside the state.
They are some, whom. 1t appears,
will have to be shamcd into dong
their duty as American citizens II
sa,ch a thing is possible. And there
are others, with German names,
whose loyalty to the United States
is questioned because they have NOT
done their duty excepting by not
air talk. This is a time, you know,
when none speaks louder tnan
mere words.
Il has been suggested that two
thines be done here III order that
men be PLACED where they
belong. First. TO have al
Liberty Loan census taken of the
place and find out who have bought
bonds ard the m of those who
not purchased any. The names
are then to he published. Next. two
clubs will be organized. One will be
called "Uncle Sans Patriots" and
the other "Kaiser Bills Helpers."i
After the census of the town mas :
been taken the name of every man
who refuses to buy a bond, without
a Just and sufficient reason. will be
enrolled in Kaiser Bills Helpers
Hub. FOR. the reason that every man
who does not buy a bond, if ne can.
IS helping the Kaiser instead of I'm
lie Sam. !
And then they are going farther.

New York, Oct. 15.-"If the peo-
Pile really understood how the boys

c~laration of John w. Cook, dIrec-
tor of the War Work Campaign

of the East, for the Young Mems
Christian Association.
"The boys are not only giving
themselves to perpetuate democracy
