ROTAR|Ah SPIRIT IS
PR0WL|hG ABROAD
Body of Richmond Live Wires Live
to Make Others Happy
and COntented

The Rotarian spirit was never more
pleasingly illustrated than when the
local bunch, following the lead of
President Harold Bloomberg, took a
shot at the old veterans at Lee Camp
and bombarded them with ice cream
until there was no room left beneath
the old gray vests.
This spirit was more fully illus
trated when the same bunch proceed
ed from Lee camp to the Home for
Incurables. and supplied the resi-
dents of that institution with Az much
lice cream as they could swallow.
Prior to these two great deeds. the
Rotarians had broken bread at their
monthly luncheon at the Business
Mems club. and were we'll fi"ed with
wartime food. They were happy
and made every one else happy with
whom they came into contact
Such is the spirit OF the Rotarian
And it is nice to think that nearly all
the real live business and profes
sional men OF the city are on the
mem bership list of the Rotary club.
1t is understood they are preparing
TO pull off a watermelon feast for the
soldiers at Army and Navy headquar-
tiers.

ONLY LABORERS VOTE IN DRESDEN ELECTION

BERLIN, Tuesday, Dec. 10.-(By the Associated Press.)-A fortnight ago, Dresden. Today, Chemnitz! The people speak plainly says Vorwaerts, commenting on the result of the cleo tion in Chemnitz to the soldiers and workmen's council there. the majority socialists having boiled 7S.500 votes as against $500 by the independent so- cialists. In Dresden. the old party boiled ,566 votes as compared with S,449 for the independents.
 Nearwaerts points out that not a single vote by a capitalist was boiled, the only votes being those of faborers.
 The Vissiche Zeitung declares that the result in Chemnitz shows that the Spartacus party has no footing among the people"
 An article in Norwaerts attacks Adolph Hoffman. one of it's former editors and an independent socialist for voicing a threat to diSperse the national assembly when it is called. The newspaper believes it will be i'm possible for the bourgeosie to secure a majority in the election. If such a wonder happens, it says, then it will be an expression of the will of the people. to combat which. we would not choose the Russian method of dispers- ing the assembly, but would employ the social democratic method of en- lightenment, so that the next election would have a better result.
