Washington. May 27.-Matthias

clared that the submarine war is a

In the same article he bitterly at
lacks the militarists and the poll
ticians of the Koelnische Volks Eel

Yet dispatches received through
diplomatic channels reveal that Err
berger lie almost alone In this stand
in Germany today. A large wing OF
his own party is reported to have de-
serted him. A summary of German
press comment also shows that only
the Socialist papers take sedious no
tice OF President Wilson'S pledge to
stand by Russia. The rest either ig-
more or laugh at It.
Erzberger was stung 10 speech by
the attacks on him from members OF
his own party and especially by the
'Koeinische volks Zeitung. He de-
clares that he stands by all the declar-
ations for q moderate peace he has
ever made in the .reichstag and In the
com mittees. He says that events have
borne out his prediction OF 1915 that
ruthless submarine warfare's only re-

Red Cross Drive

Richmonds Red Cross campaign
for 100000 officially closed last
night with subscriptions amounting
to s44s,ss2IT. Again this city showed

all over the city were kept busy again
yesterday, although they were not 80
numerous. The booth in the postof-
fee was as productive as It has been
all through the campaign
The campaign has been a success
from every standpoint. This has been
accomplished by the cordial co-opera-
tion that has existed between every
individual worker In every section o!
the city. This has been noticed In
the way the -four minute men" have
lent their efforts on the streets and
