Belgium Recovering

Belgium is recovering from the German oc-
cupation. Her fields are yielding one of the
greatest crops in her history, her industries are
gradually being restored and her population, five
seventies of which depends on agriculture for a
livelihood, is regaining it's economic independence.
This is the message which Merwin Hart, lawyer
of New York City, recently brought to London
Belgium is as indestructible materially as
she has proved to be spiritually" says Mr.. Hart.
Already she is reviving. People are at work on
the fields, communications are being restored,
and don't think it will be long before all the
mines and most of the factories are going again.
You know I suppose that the Belgians captured
some German documents drawn up with Teutonic
thoroughness showing in detail precisely what
machinery had been taken from each Belgian fac
tory and where it had been sent. The business
of tracing and recovering the stolen plants has
thus been considerably simplified.
''You don't see any starving people in Belgium
today and very few i'll fed ones. All Belgians-I
talked with good many-are confident their
country will soon be as it was before the war; one
of the most prosperous, hardest working and con-
tented in the world Their debt, almost all of
which has been incurred for reproductive public
utilities, is still the lowest per head in Europe.
Nearly 100000 Of them own the land they live
on and that fact, together with the spirit of the
people, is pretty stiff barricade against boil
shevism"
America will rejoice to know that Belgium is
emerging from the cataclysm with deter1nina-
ton to regain its old prestige. "Belgium's
troubles are over and the country is climbing
back to its pre-war prosperity says Mr.. Hart,
who fought through the war as captain in the
United States infantry. All of which demon
strates anew the old truth that the material
structure of people may be crushed but if the
spirit is sound nothing can prevail against it.

MEMnER OF THr ASSOCIATED PRESS
Affirm Reply

In its essence the reply of the peace confer
ence to the counter proposals of the Germans
again places the blame for the directly on the
German war lords and the people who tolerated
their administration of the government No
words are minced in fixing the responsibility for
either the outbreak Of hostilities the barbarous
manner in which it was conducted by the Ger
mans.
0The war was a crime deliberately plotted
against the life and liberties of the people Of
Europe" says the reply. "The punishment of
those responsible for bringing on these caanities
is essential on the score of justice and as a de-
terrent for others who may be tempted to follow
their example"
Germany's cry that the conditions are too
onerous is swept aside with citations of their own
theory that force was to be the principle used in
gaining supremacy. Having lost the on the
very principle which they espoused, the Germans
must accept the consequences and pay the bills
Little time is left Germany to sign the treaty
The allies are prepared for a refusal to accept the
terms.

Reform by Legislation

The alternative to bolshevism is not hide
bound conservatism, and belief in representa-
tive government such as we have in America
does not preclude any effort towards social re-
form, but rather should encourage it" says the
Chicago Tribune. ITO hear the bolshevists talk
any one who does not wish to overthrow the gov
ernment-is DESTROYS of continuing present in
equities in our social system, and, if possible, to
establish ones.
1T is interesting to note however, that the
latest and most comprehensive program for social
reform has been prepared by Senator Kenyon of
Iowa. Now Senator Kenyon's constituents are
not radicals; it would be difficult, probably, to
find among them the familiar signs Of social I'M
rest Iowa, in short, is composed largely of a
prosperous conservative, rural population.
"Yet here is Senator kenyon's program in
brief; the creation of board of Cancellation and
mediation to settle labor difficulties; vocational
training for men injured in industry; government
assistance to improve housing conditions for
workers; the Inauguration of plan to extend
land ownership the creation Of commissions on
industrial relations and public works, the latter
for the purpose of systematizing buffer en-
poyment, and finally, old age insurance.
ITO some this may sound great deal like GER
tain proposals of the Russian soviet government.
But there is, first of ALL this great practical diff
ference, that the soviet government has not yet

Millions Of Rations Issued
By Red Cross In Balkans
fRy Assoera,eo Pressl

KAVALLA, Macedonia, June 10. -
Millions of rations have been issued
and hundreds of thousands of refugees
have been fed and clothed by the
American people through the Balkan
Commission of the American Red
Cross in Macedonia. In Northern and
Southern Serbia, in Rumania and in
Greece proper several additional mil
lion rations have been given out with
out charge.
No distinction of creed or national
ity have been made. Greeks, both
patriarchists and Mohammedans
Slavs, including exarchists, patriarch
lists and Catholics; Jews of both the
orthodox and Denume professions;
gypsies; Vlachs and Albanians- all
have received aid from the American
people.
In a two-month period, 4S1, 440 ra-
lions were issued at Kavalla, 339, AIS

demonstrated its ability to carry out it's propos-
ais, whereas our government could put them into
effect just as soon as they were authorized by
congress. In other words, we not only do not
need soviet government to bring about social
reforms, but our present government because OF
the very fact that it is a representative demo-
cracy has the machinery and the authority to
to bring them about more expeditiously and eff
ficaciousy than any soviet or bolshevist regime.
I'VE do face the danger that the reactionary
members in congress will block or attempt to
block necessary labor and social legislation. We
think they are coming to realize the folly of such
a course. But if they fail to respond to the pro-
gressive spirit of these days our remedy is to
place them with men of greater perception of
popular needs and desires"

A Sane Fourth of July

The conservation principle enjoined upon US
during the war should be exemplified on the
Fourth of July. A boisterous celebration Of the
day, with the discharge of explosives and the use
of noise-producing instruments, is unnecessary.
The day is gone when it is necessary to show the
degree of our patriotism by the amount of noise
can produce. Far better, sane celebration,
without explosives and the hundreds of children
sent to the hospital with burns, than an indulg-
ence in the practices of former years.
The city authorities will be in line with pub
lie sentiment if they lay down strict rules for a
sane observance of the day. The Fourth be
celebrated without using explosives that result
in the loss of life and the woundng of thousands.

June II, 1913.
Editor Richmond Palladium:
/ notice that you quote an Associat-
ed Press dispatch in the Palladium
last Saturday, In which the number at
tending the Wet labor demonstration
on the capitol plaza here in Washing
ton was estimated as high as 10000
persons. | feel that the statement
should be challenged and corrected.
/ mingled with the demonstrators,
and saw the entire demonstration
from various angles. I have been ac-
customed to estimate crowds for many
years with fair degree Of accuracy,
and my best judgment was that there
were from 10000 to $4,000 in and
around the capitol plaza during the
afternoon. Many prohibitionists esti-
mated the attendance at far less than
this, while no one hereabouts has had
the hardihood to claim more than 15,-
600. I judged that about half the
number were a part OF the organized
demonstration, which would be 5000.
The remainder were on-lookers, many
OF them prohibitionists, and most of
these melted away after the first
stages of the demonstration.
Two hours later, when Mr.. Comp
ers spoke, there were not over 1000
persons anywhere in sight.
The demonstration scarcely created
ripple here, for with Washington
within a few hours of the leading la
Dor centers of America, the wonder
was that not more persons came.
Even the wet New York World said
that not single vote in congress had
been changed. Had it not been flag
day and on Saturday afternoon, when
the people were out in the mass, and
in holiday attire, the attendance un.
doubtedly would have been pitiably
small. S. e. NICHOLSON.

RHEUMATISM LEAVES
YOU FOREVER

Deep Seated Uric Acid Deposits Are
Dissolved and the Rheumatic Poison
Starts to Leave the System Within
TWenty-four hours.
Every druggist in this county is au-
thorized to say to every rheumatic suf-
ferer in this vicinity that if two bottles
of Allenrhu, the sure conquerer of
rheumatism, does not stop all agony,
reduce swollen joints and do away
with even the slightest twinge of rheu-
matte pain, he will lgladly return your
money without comment
Allenrhu has been tried and tested
for years, and really marvellous results
have been accomplished in the most
severe cases where the suffering and
agony was intense and piteouS and
where the patient was helpless.
Allenrhu relieves at once. Imme-
diately after you start to take it the
good work begins. 1t searches out the
uric acid deposits, dissolves the Sc
cretions and drives rheumatic poison
out Of the body through the kidneys
and bowels.
It's marvellous how quickly it acts.
Blessed relief often comes in two days,
and even in cases where the suffering
is most painful all traces disappear in
a few days.
Mr.. James A. Allen, the discoverer of
Allenrhu, who for many years suffer
ed the torments of acute rheumatism,
desires all sufferers to know that he
does not want cent of anyone's
money unless Allenrhu decisively con
quers this worst of all diseases, and he
has instructed all druggists to guar.
antee it in every instance.-Adv.

On Guard!

Under this caption, the house organ of the J..
B. Moos company, tobacco concern, discusses
the probability of statutory action against the
of tobacco in all its forms, and the necessity
of keeping tobacco shops on such high moral
level that the public will not legislate them out
of existence.
There is cogency in the reasoning Of the ed
tor when he says, Tobacco selling must be con-
Quoted on the highest plane lest the evils at
tendant on the saloon business arise. Quality
must be of the highest. Surroundings must be
strictly refined and elevated"
If the tobacco store does not guard rigidly it's
standard of ethics it will go the way of the sa-
loon. The dealer has it within his own jurisdic-
ton to maintain a clean environment and to
spurn lowering of the standard of his place of
business. The public will not long tolerate retro
gression and the adoption of practices that lower
the moral standard. So long as tobacco stores
are conducted on high plane, they will not be
molested, but public opinion will quickly resent
the presence of evils
