AGED HERMIT
IS NO MORE

The hermit of Newman's hill is
dead. He was James T. Hastings, 80
years old, a man whose parentage
and family were unknown in Rich
mond.
For thirty-five years Tasting had
been living entirely alone in his lit.
tie house on Newman's hill. 1t is
thought from what he said that he
came from Massachusetts, but he was
always reticent about talking of him
self and his family. He claimed he
never was married.
After he first came to Richmond,
he worked as a machinist at the
Gaar-Scott company, but for the last
twenty-five years he has done nothing
at all apparently living on what mon
ey he had.
The hermit's house was located on
Newman's Hill, which is on the east
bank of the Whitewater river and
west from the old Gaar-Scott plant.

Austrian Peace Agitation is
Disturbing to German Papers

LONDON, Jan. 24-The peace agi-
tation in Austrfa-Hungary is receiv-
ing a great deal of attention in Ger
many. The Socialist newspaper Vor-
waerts Of Berlin emphatically de-
clares the solidarity OF the German
proletariat with Austrian labor in the
peace struggle and maintains that
events in the dual monarchy must
have a deep reaction in Germany.
I'VE have been walking on the edge
of precipice in the last few days." 1t
says, and goes on to demand that the
German government resolutely take
its place by the side of its Austrian
ally.

uganda" it continues, I'VE are men

the peace negotiations with Russia,
but also with complete political iso-
lation.

the public servants either do their duty
or retire from public life in disgrace.
Speaking about orders he declared:
IF we relied upon the ordnance de-
partment in this emergency land this
is war of artillery the war would
be completed before we ever got
enough men to the front"
He charged the ordnance bureau

it seemed certain.
I'm not blaming anyone in particu-
lar" the senator continued. Il have
high regard for General Crozier. But
we haven't been able to do what Eng
land, France and all our other allies
have done and that is to retire these
gentlemen who have not proven them
selves up to the mark. We ought not
to dismiss them in disgrace. but in
other countries they have gone into
innocuous desuetude.
This isn't question of personality.
This is not a question between the
president and myself. 1t is a ques
ton of America and every man ought
to make it his whole purpose to see
that America is saved. He denounced
the cry that investigation gives infor-
nation to the enemy.
Germany knows more about Am
erica today than the men connected
with the department" Senator Cham

Senator Chamberlain said he pro-

That's what I say he continued,
that the president didn't know the
truth and l did He must have got
ten his facts from the secretary, who
in turn got his from somebody else,
and somebody must have lied. And
that is why I say the president has

After speaking nearly three hours,
Senator Chamberlain concluded with
a plea that he wos only doing his
duty in arousing the country to it's
danger and that he would support the
President although grossly malign-
