NATIONAL ALLIANCE ENDORSES ACTIVITY OF LOCALBRAIICH President Hexamer Commends Germans for Efforts to Convert Saloons Into Cafes for Entire Families. A letter was received today by Will Duning, Jr., from the national alliance endorsing the decisive steps the Richmond German Alliance has taken towards converting the saloons into home cafes and in abolishing the treating custom. National President Hexamer of Philadelphia, wrote the letter personally Indicating his approval and expressing his hope that success will be met by the Richmond Germans. He said he has heard from various sources of the work here and it has always been favorably commented on. A telegram was received from the state president, Joseph Kellar that he and his wife will reach Richmond Sunday afternoon, and Mr. Kellar will be ready to make the principal address of the mass meeting at Beallview park. Other speakers have been chosen from Richmond citizens. Hans Koll will act as chairman of the meeting. One of the principal Richmond speakers will be Perry J. Freeman. There has been some question among those who are not members of the alliance as to whether women are permitted to attend. Mr. Duning, Jr., stated that women are especially invited to be present at the meeting. There will be a military band of thirty pieces to furnish music before and after the speaking and the Mannerchor will give several numbers. As a large per cent of the attendance at the meeting will be of Germans or German sympathizers, it has been decided to receive donations for the German-Austrian widows and orphans fund. The contributions will be entirely voluntary. CHARJTYJEAD (Continued from Page One.)

would be screened and used as sleeping quarters for the patients. Cots for men patients would be placed on one side of the veranda, while the women would be accommodated on the veranda on the other side of the house. Such a building could be put up for about $1,500, which includes furnishings. The salary of the trained nurse would be $900 a year, and the housekeeper's salary would be about $500. Practically all the food supplies could be secured from the county institution, which is located near the proposed site of this tuberculosis colony. "I can not think of any better way the county could expend $3,000 than making an appropriation for a tuberculosis colony," said Mr. Melpolder today. "The expenditure of this money la certain to save a number of lives, and, as The Palladium pointed out yesterday, the people who will be cared for are the ones who are the worst spreaders of this terrible dis ease. One way or the other the public funds musUbe expended to assist them and, this being the case, the county might as well care for them as scientifically as possible. It is a waste of public funds, in fact, not to seek to effect cures for these people so they will cease to be a burden to the taxpayers. It is strange that in so many enlightened communities this most terrible of menaces to the public health is ignored almost completely, while tho authorities employ drastic measures to stamp out smallpox, diphtheria and other less deadly diseases. Urges Prompt Action. "We act promptly in the segregation of criminals but pay no attention to the victims of tuberculosis, permitting them to remain at large spreading their death germs promiscuously. I will take my chances with the criminals at large, but what protection do we have with the tuberculosis victim at large?" Tomorrow morning a committee of citizens interested in the project of having the county establish a tuberculosis colony on its farm, will hold a meeting with the county commissioners. They will urge that this plan be carried out. Miss Uenner, city visiting nurse, was delighted when she learned that there was a prospect for the establishment of a tuberculosis colony for dependants. Since she has been in the city she has cared for fourteen victims of the white plague, eight of whom have already died. How many other people have been effected by the unfortunates she has, of course, no way of ascertaining. The story she tells of the hopeless struggles of these poor people, neglected by the community and awaiting' certain death with as much fortitude as possible, is ft sordid tragedy. Dr. A. .1. Whallon. president of the Wayne County Anti-tuberculosis society, said today that he heartily approves of the colony plan and would attend the hearing before the county commissioners tomorrow.

Julien Viaud (Pierre Loti, the sailor-author), who has sent a letter to the French minister of the navy asking for active employment. The writer says that he recognizes that the French navy is not likely to have a great role in the war. "Will it not be a bad example in our dear country, where each is doing his duty so magnificently, if Pierre Loti does nothing?" he asks. He pleads for a post that will bring him nearer the enemy as one of the marines defending Paris or even as a member of the

ambulance corps.

FRENCH OFFICE ASSERTS AISNE BATTLE UNDECIDED

BY FRANKLIN P. MERRICK, Staff Correspondent for International News Service. PARIS, Sept. 18. Frank admission was made here today that neither the Germans nor the allies have scored any decisive advantage in the great battle, which has now raged for six days along the Aisne river and eastward across the Meuse. The French and British artillery has failed to dislodge the invaders from their strongly entrenched positions on the heights along the Aisne and north of Rheims. But on the other hand the vigor of the allies assaults has compelled the invaders to remain upon the defensive. General Gallieni, the French military governor, believes that the battle will continue for some days yet on the present field, but he feels assured that the Germans will be dislodged when the British and: -French secure reinforcements of heavy artillery along the front. At the present time the conflict seems to be little more than an artillery duel. The Germans now hold strong positions but I think that they will not be able to maintain them. Explains Strategy. "The people have confidence in the masterly strategy of General Joffre, and Field Marshal Sir John French," explained Governor Gallieni. "The troops believe in them implicitly. The allies' army will doubtless maneuver and swerve a terrific attack against

Antwerp Issues Statement Detailing Losses of Germans

A dispatch from Amsterdam says the following "communique" has been issued at Antwerp : "Near Ypres the Germans were defeated Near Poperinghea German cavalry with mitrailleuses and wagons of provisions and other vehicles were attacked by 14,000 French cavalrymen. The fight last two hours. Fifty Germans were killed and 110 taken prisoners. The remainder fled to France, where they were attacked and defeated by the British. PROTESTS REMOVAL OF U. S. SOLDIERS BY LEASED WIRE. WASHINGTON, Sept. 18. Protest against the withdrawal of the United States troops from the border was made today by Representative Garner of Texas, to the war department. Mr. Garner is believed to have acted on instruction from Governor Colquitt of Texas. General Wotherspoon, chief of staff assured Mr. Garner that at present no plans are under way for the withdrawal of troops from that state.

Highland regiment, who has had the right is a group of British

the weak points in the German lines, after a long hard bombardment. It may be two weeks before the final stage of the battle is reached, but we believe that there can be but one result victory for the allies." It is believed that at least 2,700,000 men are engaged along he mighty battle front from Noyon to Etain and Thiaucourt, east of the Meuse. So far, however, there has been but little work for the infantry and cavalry, the issue being waged with the heavy artillery. Germans Rest. Both General von Kluck, commander of the German right and General von Buelow, commander of the German troops which flank General von Kluck's forces on the east welcomed the tactics of General Joffre, and Field Marshal French. The present plan of battle of the allies commanders is enabling the worn out German soldiers to get a much needed rest behind their breast-works. On the other hand, the French and British troops are being benefitted by the turn of affairs, where they were badly worn after the long march of between 65 and 70 miles in pursuit of the retiring German columns. While the British and French are thus engaged along their left wing and uuon the center, the French troons on the riffbt flanlr frnm Sninnps eastward ! across the Meuse are exerting tremendous powers against the armies of the German Crown Prince and Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria. "On Wednesday, the 28th, a German Infantry and artillery corps, a pontoon corps and some Uhlans proceeded to Termondo. They burned the bridge but weer discovered by Belgian soldiers, who were massed on the left bank of the Scheldt river. Fierce fighting occurred and on Thursday morning the Germans fell back in disorder near Iibbeke, leaving a number of dead and wounded and six guns. The Belgian casualties were one killed and sixteen wounded. "The Germans bombarded Grembergen and Roesrod." JAP BOMB SETS FIRE TO VESSEL BY LEASED WIRE. TOKIO, Sept. 18.

Artistically decorated show windows prepared for the Richmond Fall Opening Thursday and today attracted much attention from the crowds which thronged the streets to get a glimpse of the parade and the latest fall styles as displayed in the shop windows. Autumn leaves and golden row were used to set off the winter and fall costumes on display.

UNION MAY UNITE WITH OTHER CLUBS Colored Citizens Consider Affiliating With National Advancement Association.

Members of the Citizens union are again discussing the advisability of affiliating with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. This matter was placed in the hands of a committee last year but no action was taken as the inside organization work when the union was new did not give the body an opportunity of additional work. Members say the union is on a firm footing and is in a position to make a name for itself as a member of the national association. The plan it has for this year's work, will introduce lines which have never been attempted before and if these are successful, the organization will want the aid of the national association to further its work in future years. In joining the national association, the local union will have the advantage of being able to secure good speakers for public meetings and to get expert advice on the questions of the race. The matter has not been voted on by the general body as yet but probably will be brought up soon. MRS.

URGES ENGLAND TO SHOW NO PITY Maurice Maeterlinck, the noted Belgian author, sometimes called the Belgian Shakespeare, urges England to show no pity in crushing Germany. He lays the blame for the present war not at the kaiser's door, but at the door of the German people. The Germans should be "destroyed like waspa we know will not be bees."
