That Uncle Sam must have the
''sinews Of war" is indicated by
the following excerpt from a tele-
gram received by The Farmers
Bank Of Weston last night from
Secretary McAdoo:
Between now and the time for
making the next Liberty Loan ]
shall offer for subscription Treas
ury certificates Of indebtedness in
amount Of FIVE hundred million
dollars or more every two weeks.
desire to postpone the next Liber-
ty Loan issue until conditions will
insure q wide distribution of the
bonds throughout the country. In
order successfully to carry through
this program and TO provide for
the expenditures for the military
operations Of the United States and
the Allies, | must have the whole
hearted cooperation of the bankers
Of the United States; and to that
end request the board Of direct
0rs or trustees OF each bank and
trust company to reserve each week
out Of its loanable funds for the
use Of the Government of the
United States about one percent Of
the gross resources Of their ipsti-
tuition, not to exceed in the aggre-
gate ten percent, and to invest that
amount in Treasury Certificates Of
Indebtedness. "
More than ever It is becoming
apparent that the needs and inter
ests Of corporations and individuals
must be subordinated 70 the needs
and interests Of the government,
If the nation is to be saved from
Teutonism.

PEACE IS REMOTE

London.--The supreme war council.
which met at Versailles, finds no ap-
proximation in the German chancei-
lor's and the Austro-Hungarian for.
eign minister's speeches to the terms
Of the entente allies and has decided
to continue vigorous prosecution Of
the war until peace can be obtained
based on the principles Of freedom,
Justice and respect for international
law"
A summary Of the official report Of
the Versailles war office says:
"The council was unable to find
in Won Hertling's and Czernin's recent
utterances any real approximation to
the moderate conditions laid down by
the allies governments.
Under the circumstances, the coun.
ell decided that the only task before
them to meet was the vigorous and
effective prosecution OF the war until
the pressure Of that effort produced
change Of temper in the enemy, gov.
ernments. justifying the hope Of the
conclusion OF a peace based on the
principles Of freedom, Justice and re.
spect for international Law.
"The council arrived at q complete
unsnimity Of policy on measures for
the prosecution Of the war"
The United States was represented
in the council BY General Tasker H.
Bliss, chief Of staff Of the American
army.

Aero Squadron's
Dance Tonight

The s35th aero squadron. stationed
at Fulton. will give dance in the
Blues armory tonight for the beneht
of their recreation hall and athletic
fund.
This company is comprised of Sc
men. They are one of the most popu-
lar military organizations which have
been stationed around Richmond since
the declaration of war. The Rich
mond people like them and they like
the Richmond people.
Shortly after their arrival In Rich
mond they organized a jazz band un-
der the leadership Of Sergeant Art
Hender. who. along with nnetyfour
other men of the squadron. came to
Virginia from California
Sergeant Hender was for a while
in big-time vaudeville and is regarded
as one OF the best jazz pianists in
the country. The popularity and sue
cess of the jazz band is in no small
measure due TO the hard work OF Ser
ssant Hender, who has directed and
trained the hand from its organiza-
ton. The band has been most sener-
Gus, never falling TO respond TO calls
for assistance at the charitable ana
patriotic entertainments Of the city.
and never making charge for their
