POLLARD RULES Az

The opinion of City Attorney Pollard

nance Committee last night. II IL as
follows:
BY your request contained In a
communication from your clerk under
date Of February 8. beg 10 say that

10 bc passed BY the City Council and
I, will accomplish the object sought there

request TO advise you what procedure

I / have 20 say that in view Of the fac,
that the ordinance is in proper legal
form both as TO manner and to time OF
holding the election. and otherwise in
conformity with the act OF the General
Assembly approved February 90. 1916.
you should with g little delay as prac-
iicablc, Tepor; the ordinance TO the
| Council for adoption.
Il do not mean, however. to imply
that you are bound to report the time
for the holding Of the proposed election
as fixed by the ordinance. but you may.
in your discretion, recommend the
amendment of the ordinance by SUBJ
st.tut!nE another date. not however TO
he less than thirty days nor more than
fifty days thereafter-thati is, after the
approval of the ordinance"
There was slight discussion as to
whether the 1884 signatures signed to
the petition was % per cent OF the
qualified electorate OF Richmond. as
provided by the law. Members be-
lieved. however. that the statement OF
vote in Richmond as Of May /, 1917,
TO be 1926. to be sufficient.
CANNOT WITHDRAW
NAMES FROM PETITION
Councilman Roden declared he saw
no reason for haste in SO important a
matter, and did not like certain re-
ports recently circulated that the COM
mttee was adopting obstructionist
tactics. He did not propose to be
forced to take any action that might
prove unwise, he said.
Since the question under cons;dera-
ton was one affecting the entire city.
Alderman Fuller did not think 1t proper
that the election should be held on the
day OF the Democratic prima-y-Arril
2. All citizens, Democrats and Re-
publicans alike were affected, he said,
and should be given tho opportunity
OF voting. 1t was on his motion that
the ordinance was amended so as to
provide for the election on April 80.
City Attorney Pollard told tho COM
mittee that in his opinion voters who
had signed the petition could not have
their names withdrawn from the paper.
THE signing Of the petition was in the
nature of casting q vote, I take It,"
said Mr.. Pollard. "A person could no
more. in my opinion. ask that his name
be stricken from the petition than he
could ask the election judges to allow
him to change his vote. If fraud was
shown, however, then the matter would
properly be one for the consideration

THE TRAIN THAT SAVED
A NATION
How the Red Cross Helped
Roumania.

Have you heard of what happened
In Roumania when that stricken nation
stood In rags and starving before the
shocked eyes of the world? We had
thought ourselves grown used to trag-
edies until this greater horror struck
a blow that reused still untouched
sympathies.
And yet we felt so helpless, you and
/, so terribly weak in our ability to Of
fer aid. But were we? After all.
We're we not the very ones who car
ried new life and hope to the heart OF
Roumania? You shall be your own
judge.
Fighting with the desperation of de-
spair, the shattered Roumanian army
still struggled to beat off the Kaiser's
bloody Huns, who were mercilesslv
trampling the life out of the little
kingdom. And the Kaiser smiled bru-
tally as he saw his wolves at work
and knew that from behind the lines.
attacking the fighting men of Rouma-
MIA from the rear, entering the homes
where mothers chung to the frail, dis
tOrted forms of their babies-was STAR
walton.
No country around Roumania could
help her-and America was too far
away. Thousands would die before
supplies held In our own country could
be sent her.
Hope was gone. Death by hunger
and by the dripping sword of the Kali.
ser was closing in. A brave little ma
ton was being torn to pieces.
Then came the miracle. One morn.
ing the streets of Jassy, the war capt.
tai of Roumania, swelled with sounds
Of rejoicing. A city where the day be-
fore there was heard nothing but the
walls of the starving and the lamenta-
lions of those mourning their dead
now was awakened by shouts of JOY.
You, my friend; you who have help
ed in the heroic work Of the American
Red Cross, had gone to the rescue of
Roumania. A train OF 81 big freight
cars packed to their utmost capacity
with food, clothing and medicine, tons
upon tons of it, had arrived in Jassy
after making record breaking trip
from the great store houses of the
American Red Cross in Russia. Other
trains followed it; thousands were fed
and clothed and nursed back to health.
For weeks and even to this day the
brave people of Roumania are being
cared for in countless numbers by our
own Red Cross.
So was Roumania helped, and when
history records how this last fragment
of sturdy nation was kept out of the
hands of the terrible Huns it will give
the victory to your American Red
Cross.

Compare Your Baby
First -Four Years
With This

In 1913 little Marie was born In VIE
lage not far from Mezieres, IL the
Ardennes.
In 1914 Marie's father. called to the
colors, fell at the Marine. And Marie
and her mother stayed in the village.
which was now In the Germans hands.
In 1915 poster was pasted up on
the door of the village church, and
that night Marie's mother vanished,
along with score or more of other
women.
In 1915 Marie was still living In that
village existing through the charity
of the few elderly folk the Germans
permitted to stay.
In 1917 Marie, with all the children
under fourteen years and all the old
people left alive in the village, was
bundled into a crowded car and
shipped into Germany, round through
Switzerland and thence into France,
arriving at Evian. She was underfed,
of course, emaciated, sickly, dirty, too
lightly dressed for the time of year.
And she came into Evian with not a
relative, not friend left In all France
to take care of her.

Over there in Evian your Red Cross
took charge of her, cared for her in

AUTOCRACY IN OUR SCHOOLS.

1t has been said over and e
again thai the spirit of m%ilitarism
which permeates Germany is attribu-
table in very large measure to the
kind of. teaching given in the schools.
The German school system is held up
in this country as a warning, and we
+ urged to make u schools demo-
cratic.
And yet, as strange as it may seem,
there is a custom which prevails IN
many American schools, and, shame
be it said, in many of our Christian
schools, which is as autocratic as any
thing that has come from Germany.
This is the abOminable, undemOcraL-
ic custom of hazing. We glory in the
fact that "all men are free and
equal" and in our schools give the
lie to that maxim.
We have heard of Christian col
Ieges in which rules were formulated
TO govern freshmen classes. Accord
ing to these rules no freshmen can
leave his room after a certain hour
each evening without special per-
mission from the governing body. A
freshman must not be seen walking
