The Germ . The confident hope and heralded opinion of the Allies that the war "machine of the Kaiser would crumple and buckle under the strain of gigantic pressure have proved errors in the light of.the tremendous drives of the armies in Po land and of the ability of the western army to prevent, the" French and British from breaking through. , The impression was general in military circles that the German army had been recruited to its maximum strength last pring and that fresh levies of troops could not be raised. Critics claimed the advantage would then rest with England, the only nation of the allies whose military strength has .not reached full-strength, but this was dis
pelled a few weeks ago when it was announced in
Parliament that England had only 450,000 men in the field.
Germany' g drive at Warsaw, which seems des
tined to fall in a few weeks before the onslaught
of the Teutonic allies, must have been made "with fresh troops drilled and equipped since the war broke out a year ago. Her ability to put new men into the field is surprising. . It will be recalled that German-Americans in Richmond have received letters galore from their relatives in the Fatherland stating there was no dearth of , men and that the nation had not approached the maximum number it could throw in the field. The campaign in the west seems to establish the truth of these observations. Trained soldiers and capable leaders seem to
be the particular advantage of the Germanic allies. Field Marshal von" Hindenburg, whose name seldom appeared in' the dispatches while Field Marshal von Mackensen was cleaning the Russians out of the Carpathians, has again broken into the print, and again he is the dominat
ing figure in the big-campaign for Warsaw. Von Hindenburg is unquestionably the biggest general developed in the war. - x The Assault on Frank - 1 The state of Georgia owes it to its own dignity in the nation to discover the motive back' of the assault on Leo M. Frank, serving a life, sentence for the murder of Mary Ph&gan. When executive clemency was shown the man about whose guilt there isso much doubt, the state of Georgia disgraced itself by showing an ill feeling and a resentment 'towards its governor that seems inexplicable. He knew that he was taking his political fate in his hands, but believed there was sufficient doubt about Frank's guilt to warrant clemency. ' " Now a convict in the penitentiary makes an assault upon Frank that put his life into jeopardy. The crazed man claims he was an agent of God called on to kill Frank. But there is an inkling that the man may be one of a group of conspirators who want to put Frank out of the way. Georgia ought to put an end to affairs of this kind. 4
The Forum
, Traffic Regulations Changes in, the traffic regulations at Eighth and Main street are intended to lessen the danger at that important crossing. Tre rules are admirably suited for this purpose. The restrictions
ought to prevent automobile collisions and danger to pedestrians. Pedestrians can do much to help solve the problem by stopping, looking and listening before they cross the street at this point. Many accidents are caused by women and children rushing pell mell and headlong across the street without stopping to see if the traffic .officer has given the signal for automobiles and wagons to cross. A little care on the part of pedestrians will prevent accidents.

VETERAN MERCHANT LOOKS BACK

OVER FIFTY YEARS OF BUSINESS
"The constant changing of styles, and the general buying of fads, makes it exceedingly risky for a man to open a dry goods business in this age. Even a man with experience must be alert If he seeks to make his business profitable." . George H. Knollenberg, who on September 11 will begin the fiftieth year of the establishment of." his business, was comparing the methods and habits of buying today with those - which were followed when he opened a oneroom, 'Shingle roof, one-clerk store nearly a half century ago. "It Is, the general tendency now," continued Mr. Knollenberg, "among women and men too, to buy the most fashionable goods, while years ago they, were content to buy staple and more quiet appearing garments. The buyer for a dry goods house now must be a genius to prophesy the color and texture which will appeal to his trade." Changes In Price. During the decades Mr. Knollenborg has been in business great changes have been made not only in styles but in prices of dry goods. When he began business on September 1, 1866, calico was purchased at 19 cents a yard, wholesale. Now it is bought to 5 cents a yard. Bleached muslin was bought for 32 cents a yard, wholesale, and now costs 8 cents a yard. Mr. Knollenberg was less" than 19 years old when he opened his store of a single romo, 18 by 50 feet, carrying a-staple line, purchased with money his father had borrowed and on credit. A lady clerk and .himself handled the trade. Now there are from seventyfive to eighty employes. In 1877 he bought the ground on which the building stood, and eighteen feet additional. Later a three-story building was erected. The adjoining building on the east side was bought in 1883, and ten years afterward he arranged for the construction of what is now known asthe annex. The total space which his building now occupies Includes 76 fet frontage
on Main street, running back 100 feet, and 60 by 100 feet fronting on South Eighth street. AH of the space. In the annex is used by the : Knollenberg company, -except some rooms which
have been designed .for offices
The George H. Knollenberg comJ
pany was organized in 1893 by George H. Knollenberg. Henry w Knollen
berg, Charles -A. Knollenberg, and Har
ry W. Watt. It has . continued under the personal management of George
H. Knollenberg. During the first year he was in business Mr. Knoltenberg's total receipts, were $6,000. Now his receipts for a year probably are fifty times that
amount.
Secret of Success. Mr. Knollenberg is justly proud of his business. For the first three years, he says, it was rough sledding, but after that time his trade increased in leaps and bounds. Panics, he says, never affected his business to ' any great extent. Merchants who have watched his career and his growing business, say he was always optimistic and always fair with competitors and customers; that he never defaulted the payment of a bill, and was never known to have any financial embarrassment. Only a few customers of those who traded with him when he began business are left, Mr. Knollenbertj fays, but he often sees the children, of the third and even fourth generation of these customers visiting his establishment.
THINK OF IT 30,000 Persons Publicly Recommend Our Remedy Some are Richmond People. Over one hundred thousand have recommended Doan's Kidney Pills. For backache, kidney, urinary ills, Thirty thousand signed testimonials Are appearing now in public print. Some of them are Richmond people. Some are published in Richmond. No other remedy shows such proof. Follow this Richmond man's example: . - J. A. Williams, cigar dealer, 118 South Third street, Richmond, savs:
"Doan's Kidney Pills have done me a lot of good and I am glad to recom
mend them. I took this remedy when I was suffering from backache and
weak kidneys and it stopped the trou
ble. Another of my family has used Doan's Kidneys Pills with satisfactory results."
Mr. Williams is only one of many
Kicnmona people who have gratefully
E-ndorsed Doan s Kidney -Pills. If your back ache if. your kidneys bother you, don't simply ask for a kidney remedy ask distinctly for Doan's . Kidney Pills, the same that Mr. Williams had the remedy backed by home testimony. 00c all stores: Foster-Milburn Co.. Props., Buffalo, N. Y. , "When Your Back Is Lama Remember the Name." '

OBJECTS TO AFFINITY.
- HARTFORD CITY, Ind., July 21. Mrs. Ethan Runnels does not object to remaining an inmate of the Wells county infirmary, where her husband placed her, but she has complained because her sister, Mrs. Phoebe Jones, has usurped his affections and now lives at the Runnels home. Charges have been filed against Mrs. Jones and Runnels.
Editor Palladium: Referring to the article in your issue of July 47, "Germany Misled About War Exports to Europe" permit me to reply: " , I. myself, receive three daily and one weekly paper, from Germany, besides I read some others from friends, but up to June 1, the latest I got. I never saw a statement that one half the ammunition used by the Allies comes from the U. S. A. I really would be glad to learn tbename of tBat German paper and date that; printed such a statement. -,; ..H - I don't know if the German people have so much to suffer from falsehoods as we "Neutral "Nation" and from that what our pro-English Press don't print (for ex-sinking of Turkish merchantships by English torpedoes without warning), buI do know that not only the German people but the European neutral nations believe and trust the German official statements, as they, without one exception, proved true.
"Our favorable balance" depends
mostly on Mr. Morgan, as the flnan
cial agent for the Allies, as half of the
so called increase consists or contra band mods. '' '."'.- ..: : "v.-
According to the figures furnished
by the "Bureau of foreign and Domes-
t tie Commerce" the increase tor tne
first nine months is BSS.OOO.OOO "of which over half is for export of munitions of war and articles that go to their manufacture alone, in figures
S331.504.000. '
The article of July 17. says that
"Ammunition" goes under the ' heading of "Manufactures" but does not give any amount of same. As we have a big decrease in other articles (agriculture implements alone more than $20,000,000) the difference Is made up from contraband goods, otherwise we would have a decrease and not an increase. " ' It is not the question of how much per cent of our whole export consists (I cannot figure out 2 per cent according to my figures) in ammunition, but the question is how" much American ammunition the Allies use in proportion to their own and that will not be very far from. 50 per cent today, as vast quantities have been shipped in May and June, every month increasing. The shipment of ammunition and explosives till April 15, $21,000,000; of machinery for manufacturing ammunition, $15,000,000; of ready firearms, $6,000,000; making a total of $42,000,000. The week from June 27 till July 2, from the harbor of New York alone, 21 ships wit hammunition for England sailed with a tonnage of over 100,000 The Bethlehem Steeleworks" shipped 500 car loads of projectiles and cannons slnce-June 1, etc. I don't know, if the writer is aware of these figures, as he speaks of "practically no arms have been shipped" but for $42,000,000 ammunition till April alone, you can make many thousand German women and children widows and orphans and it is very significant how the German soldiers call the American ammunition "Wilson's Peace Prayer." .
The writer is right, that the bulk of the war orders will not be shipped at once, but we surely cannot be
proud of our "Humanity' if we, for
profit of a few, consent that our neu
tral country allows the shipment of
war supplies amounting to $1,500,000,000, even may it be sent "by and by" for killing the citizens of our "friendly nation. Every other neutral country has an embargo on war supplies;
we are the only nation that is proud of her murderous traffic in "weapons
to kill." H. METZDORFF.

What'll We Do With Pockets?
BY DAINTY POLLY. Now that we have them. whaO are
we going to do with them? .
Pockets - in our skirts,- I mean. -Will we stuff them full of handker
chiefs, powder puffs, rings, necklaces and small packages and gloves, until they bulge and sag on our' skirts, like those of the small boy who, has been in the Apple orchard, and' who could
not enrry all he wanted in his stom
ach? v.. .
Or will we -,: thrust our hands in
them, revert to the stinker-slouch and go striding manlshly along the -street?
I hope we shall do neither. Neat
little pockets give a skirt a trim, chic
effect. But the baggy pockets will give-f
the wearer an untidy appearance. Bet
ter no pockets at all than to have them
spoil the whole effect of. the suit or
gown. .
Just now the pockets are very
smart and may be placed anywhere.
If you desire you may place them in
plain view on a scant and candid
apron, for; aprons are "coming in.
too, as occasional practical companions
of the poeket. Or you may conceal
your pockets in the folds of the lulLi
gown. - '.: ..
But wherever you put these1 little
receptacles, remember that v they are
not to be made so practical that 'they
become ugly.
