DO YOUR BIT

War times call for the con-
servation of all articles, be-
cause production necessarily
must be devoted to the manu-
facture of munitions and sup
plies. The Richmond branch
of the Red Cross is asking you
to contribute your old discard
ed rubber articles in order
that their value may be con-
verted into war work.
The pile in the Elks' yard
is growing daily. Many citi-
zens have overlooked the war
service they may render by
adding the discarded rubber
articles they have at home.
You'll never help win the
war merely by yelling Down
with the Kaiser and every
pro-German." You must back
up your words with deeds.
One way of showing that you
are sincere is by going to the
trouble of bringing your worn
out rubber articles to the
Elks' yard and by helping
Make the pile grow.

of American armies to France and

clares Emperor William in procla-

the eastern front and the heavy blows
dealt the allies during the present
summer He assured the army and
navy that, although they are in the
midst of the hardest struggle OF the
war, they will be victorious.
The emperor continued:
American armies and numerical su-

to win the victory in the struggle
with opponents who are often superior
and, despite the united efforts of the
greatest naval powers Of the world.
my submarines are sure of success.
They are tenaciously attacking and
fighting the vital forces which are
streaming across the sea to the enemy.
Ever ready for battle, the high sea
forces, in untiring work guard the
road for the submarines to the open
sea. and, in union with the defenders
of the coast. safeguard for them the
sources of their strength.
Far from home, the small and he

superior force.
We remember with reverence, all
who have given their lives for the

H. w. kimm. secretary of the SAT

ment Thursday:
workers and helpers are asking for
40 cents an hour. We paid helpers %
cents an hour and workers 35 cents
an hour When the demand was made
last Saturday we told the men that we
could not afford to pay this scale un-
der the contract which we have with
the construction division of the war
department for tin-clad fire doors, and
we presented the alternatives to them
of either accepting the old scale or
dra wing their pay.
The company will lose mouey on
the contract if we pay 40 cents an
hour. Some of the men who walked
