TO FORCE PAYMENT
FOR IMPROVEMENTS

Representative William BarteI, f..
will present bill in the state legisla.

pared by County Treasurer Ed. Weld
ner.
The bill provides that all assess
ments on properties for improve
ments returned delinquent by the city
treasurer on the first Monday in May
must be paid before the first Monday
in August under the penalty that 9TH
erwise the property will be advertised
and sold in the same way that lands
and properties are now sold each year
for delinquent taxes.
At present the only way person
can be forced to pay improvement as
sessments on property is for the bond
holder to bring suit through the coun-
ty treasurer and auditor.
The bill was framed to meet the
Richmond situation. There is $4,000
due the city. Delinquent improve
ment assessments are now standing
against about four hundred pieces of
property in Richmond.

AMERICANS AWAIT
PERMITS TO CROSS
GERMANY'S BORDERS
(BY Associated Press)

GENEVE, Via Paris, Feb. 17.-Many
Americans who have been living In
Germany are reported to be waiting
near Singer and Constance for per-
mission to cross the frontier into
Switzerland.
1t is reported from Schaffhausen
that only few Americans have en-
tered Switzerland from Germany since
Ambassador Gerard and his party ar
rived at Berne. The Swiss and Span
ish ministers at Berlin are said to
be giving every assistance in their
power to the Americans still in Ger
many.
Considerable financial loss has been
suffered by those Americans who have
already reached Switzerland. One
hundred marks, which before the war
were worth 125 francs, are now valued
at only 83 francs. The Germans are
reported to have closed and sealed the
American consulate at Warsaw.

SERGEANT TO FORM
CORPS OF CADETS
TO LEARN DRILLS

Individuals, patriotic societies and
organizations, some of which since the
break of diplomatic relations with Ger
many have offered their services to
the United States In case war is de-
clared, were asked today by Sergeant
Warner of the local recruiting station
to help get recruits for the regular
army service.
This request was issued in keeping
with the strong appeal made yesterday
by the War department for more re-
cruits.
At the same time Sergeant Warner
announced his intention of forming a
Richmond cadet squad. The squad
will have limited membership. Guns
and drilling headquarters will be fur
nished. Young men between eighteen
and twenty-seven years of age will be
admitted. They will not be required
to take any army oath.
Applications for membership will be
received at the recruiting office any
time. In addition to preparing them
selves for actual army service in case
war is declared, the cadets will be
given an opportunity to assist in get
ting recruits.

FEDERAL AGENTS
STUDY PROBLEM
OF CAR TANCLE
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE gov
ernment today tackled the problem of
the tie-up of ships in American ports
by the German submarine danger from
several angles.
While the president and the navy
department pondered the arming of
merchantmen, Secretary McAdoo was
preparing list of vessels held in port
and Secretary Redfield was at work
on comprehensive analysis of the
damage submarines are causing to
shipping generally.
Great Britain's proclamation of a
new mined area in the North Sea TO
restrict the movement of German sub.
marines to and from home ports, and
the plans to make Halifax instead of
krkwan port of search for trans
Atlantic ships between the United
States and northern European neu-
trails, We're expected to provide some
relief from the general shipping con-
gestion. By the latter plan, vessels
might avoid the war zone.
