POLICOATES Club Committee Believes Rating Bureau Will Grant Decrease Because of Prevention Facilities. That the property owners of Richmond will have little trouble in getting a lower basic rate for fire insurance, Is the opinion of the insurance committee of the Commercial club, which held a meeting Wednesday afternoon. , . The matter of lowering the basic rate of Insurance for Richmond property, will be presented to the fire insurance rating bureau within the next few days, and the bureau will be asked to send a representative to Richmond to Investigate the condition here. It la the desire of the committee to have Richmond placed In Class 2, Instead of Class 3, which she Is now in. If this is done it will mean a lowering of the rate on insurance 13 per cent, or a reduction from 49 to 43 cents. Meets All Demands. "Since Richmond has complied with all the demands made by the rating bureau, I believe that we will have little trouble In getting the bureau to lower the rate," said George Eggemeyer, chairman of the committee. "There are a few things that should be done in the way of improvement of the fire department, but eight of the nine demands made by the bureau have been complied with and I have been given the assurance of Mr. Sellers, head of the bureau, that the ninth demand, which Is the placing of all wires In the city in conduits, will not be counted as a deficiency because all of the wires on Main

street with the exception of the street car wires, have been taken off." "Another demand that will probably

be made is relative to the purchase of

an aerial ladder truck," said Mr. Lgge-me.ver.

Mayor Robbins said that in all probability an aerial ladder truck will be purchased next year as it is the plan of the councilmen to include this in the budget, which is to be made out at

council meeting next Monday even Ing. He said there was some ques'

tion with the councilmen, which should be bought, an aerial ladder truck or a crematory and that there is not enough money in the city treasury, to

purchase both. He said that something had to be done to increase the

consumption facilities of the crema tory. Swayne Suggests Repair.

S. E. Swayne made the suggestion that improvements, which would not cost exorbitantly, could be made to

the crematory and that It was not necessary to build a new crematory, which Mayor Robbins estimated would cost from $8,000 to $10,000. The other members of the committee agreed with Mr. Swayne.

"Personally, I am in favor of the purchase of an aerial ladder truck for the fire department," said Mayor Robbins. "It is an equipment that has been needed several years but the matter of the crematory is also one that has to be settled Immediately." In the data prepared by the insurance committee, it was shown that Richmond has practically cut In half

its fire hazard during the last few years and at the present time Richmond has twice as much fire prevention apparatus as any other city of like size In the state. Most of this has been accomplished the last seven months, the most important of which is the building of the second water main to the city. Has Other Advantages. If Richmond is placed in Class 2, there will be many advantages, according to the committee. The property owners will not only get advantage of the 13 per cent reduction in rates but will also get credit for efficiency apparatus, such as sprinklers. Better training of the firemen of the city has also been demanded by the rating bureau and the committee suggested to Mayor Robbins that this should be taken up Immediately. One of the greatest deficiencies in the present department is this lack of training, according to the committee. If the aerial ladder auto truck 1b purchased by the city to take the place of the present hook and ladder wagon, It would aftord a greater opportunity for training as better ladders would be used. With the present equipment,

It would be impossible to mount lad

ders to the fourth floor of any of tne buildings here and the firemen are utterly without knowledge as to how to rescue people from the top floors of buildings, according to statements

made by members of the committee

yesterday. Assures Training.

Mayor Robbins gave the assurance that this matter would be taken up

Immediately with Fire Chief Miller

and regular fire drills would be neid. All these factors are necessary before

the Insurance rating inspectors will grant a lowering of rates, according

to the committee. Within the next few days, George

Eggemeyer, acting as chairman of the committee, will name a sub-committee

which will call upon the officials of

the rating bureau and ask an investigation. In a letter received by the

chairman of the committee, from the head of the rating bureau, Richmond will have little trouble in getting an inspector to make an investigation immediately and consequently the matter will be pushed with vigor by the committee. Fire prevention day, which is October 7, will be observed in Richmond this year. The -insurance committee will have charge of the October meeting of the Commercial club and it is the plan to have a special speaker address the club at the regular meeting October 9, who will speak upon an appropriate subject. This plan waB tried successfully last year.

Successor to German Crown Reported Wounded in Fight

Crown Prince Frederick William Reports from The Hague say the German Crown Prince, Frederick William, has been seriously wounded in the fighting in Belgium and has been taken to Aix-la-Chapelle where the Kaiser will join him. These reports are at variance with news received from Berlin which said the Crown Prince had joined his father and the general staff at Mainz. Other reports are that he is at Aix-La-Chapelle visiting the wounded.

LONDON (2 p. m.) The Germans have taken the town of Louvain, headquarters of the Belgian army and are now close on Brussels. Rumors of the capture of that city already coming from many places. Antwerp too, reports engagements on its outskirts with German cavalry. Berlin in an official dispatch coming via Rotterdam, says that Germany has rejected the Japanese ultimatum, and a Copenhagen advice has the Japanese ambassador leaving Berlin. This apparently brings Japan actively into the fray. The British forces sent to help the French are engaged against

Germany in Belgium with the exact spot still hidden by the hand of censor. Likewise the tide of battle is a secret.

BRUSSELS An official Belgian statement issued today,

August 20, says the German armies are gaining ground in Belgium and have now "reached the line where it is in contact with the allied armies." This statement confirms the reports that the

great armies are engaged in a momentous battle, the war office making the further statement that fighting is now going on along the whole frontier from Basel, Switzerland, to Diest, in Belgium, a distance of more than 200 miles. BRUSSELS (Delayed) Wounded Belgians by the hundreds are pouring into the city tonight (Wednesday) and Brussels is hard pressed to care for them. Fighting is proceeding tonight but censor forbids the transmission of particulars. It is believed Brussels will be evacuated as there are no strong forces. Claim is made that forts at Liege still hold, but that cuts no figure in the

events of the past few days. PARIS The French war office admits that advance by the Germans has checked the French advance in Alsace-Lorraine. The Germans have recaptured the town of Ville. The Germans have erected strong fortifications and placed heavy artillery between Metz and Strassburg. ST. PETERSBURG Novoe Vremya (newspaper) confirms reports of mutiny in Austrian army. LONDON Holland is discussing its line of action in case Japan attacks its Far East holding. Holland owns, among other possessions, the Island of Java. MAE STRICH German troops by the thousands are pouring into Central Belgium. LONDON A Times dispatch says the Germans set fire to the town of Tirlemont last Tuesday in their advance on Louvain. CHICAGO Wheat opened steady, about unchanged. CHICAGO Hogs and provisions steady with prices unchanged from yesterday.

Hd Trouble With Her Stomach. "About four years ago I began to have trouble with my stomach and found it necessary to eat sparingly," writes Mrs. Bernice Wyandt, Lima, Ohio. "There was a dull and heavy feeling in my stomach after eating that was most uncomfortable. I was also annoyed by frequent headaches. After taking a number of medicines without benefit I got a bottle of Chamberlain's Tablets and found they were Just the thing. Two bottles of them rid me of this complaint."

LATE MARKET NEWS

Edited by A. D. Cobb, Agricultural Expert.

REFUSAL OF PEACE PLEA CRUSHES PIUS Pope Mourned Over Action of Francis Joseph in Scorning Messenger. - ROME, Aug. 20. The scornful reception of a peace messenger In the Austrian capital was the last blow that broke the heart of Pope Pius. From the very outset the Pope had tried to avert hostilities between Austria and Servia, and he finally sent a personal letter to Emperor Francis Joseph begging him not to permit war. The bearer of the message. Baron Scapinelli, was refused an audience by the Emperor for ten days, and when he was finally received, it was too late, war had been declared. One. of the last acts of the pope is further evidence of his kind heart. Although the war had reduced the Vatican's Income until there was barely enough to meet current expenses, he ordered the payment of all pensions and also the continuance of several undertakings aimed to give work to the unemployed during the conflicts. Thousands of candidates for the priesthood have been compelled to abandon studies to take up the sword. This fact, too, had weighed heavily on his mind. .? ,

Queen of Belgium Flees From Brussels as Germans Approach

The King; and Queen of Belgium, with the summer palace, just outside of Brussels, which was deserted by the queen and her children when the news of the approach of the German troops to within a few miles of the city was received. The queen has fled with her children to Antwerp which has been made the new capital of Belgium. It will be only a matter of a few days until Brussels falls into the hands of the advancing German troops.

From a German Point of View The Palladium will print a resume daily of what the Staats Zeitung, of New York, and other leading German newspapers of the country, have to say in regard to the situation on the war chess board in Belgium, Alsace, and on Russian Frontier.

Herman Ridder, editor of the New York Statts-Zeitung, the most influential German newspaper in the United States, discussing the European war from the German viewpoint, says in part in his article today: "Should the Germans make a determined effort to capture Antwerp, the great Belgian seaport, the English for the first time since the days of Napoleon, will see danger across the English channel. "A fleet of dirigibles, operating from Antwerp, could do more than frighten England in her security. By co-operating with torpedo and submarine attacks, the airships could make life miserable for the English navy. Moreover, England would not be so enthusiastic about sending her troops to France if the Germans held the Belgian coast. Germany might overlook France entirely and strike hard at the English coast The enthusiasm of John Bull for this war would experience a sudden chill if the Germans were to launch a bold and most unexpected attack against the English coast. Germans Outwit Allies. "The progress of the German army in Europe continues with clock-like regularity. The German army advancing through Belgium apparently is pressing back with irresistible force the six French and three English corps that are co-operating with the Belgians. Beyond Liege no serious resistance has been met. Whether the allies will risk a battle on the historic field of Waterloo, is problematical. It it more probable that the first great battle will be fought around Namur. "The importance ascribed a week

ago to Liege has been discounted by the action of the German general staff in disregarding the existence of the forts and moving around them, striking at mobile forces of the enemy. Once passed by, the great Liege guns are of just as much value as If they were spiked and dismounted. Discount Belgian Reports. "A victory for the German forces in a great battle around Namur would mean that the allies would have to retreat to the French defense, their morale broken and their plan of campaign useless. "The growing reportB of the French advances in Alsace-Lorraine evidently are sent out to counter-balance those from Belgium, which have been held back for the present, but which cannot be concealed forever. It must be kept in mind that nowhere have the French advanced beyond the Vosges mountains. They are still In narrow, unfortified passes, where the small outposts and detachments of German troops had no other orders than to harass the enemy. It was their business to withdraw slowly and this they have done, but naturally, not without loss. Military operations cannot be conducted without loss except by French and English press bureaus and by some American newspapers."
