GALLS AMERICA TO MAKE READY TO SAVElV0RL0 Dr. Bradford Says U. S. Faces Task of Re-building Europe at Close of Continental War.

EDUCATION REQUIRED

Impractical Women's Clubs Gets Hard Blow Church Will Formulate Program for Future Years.

The need of rebuilding Europe tomorrow presses upon America the task of rebuilding herself today, and hence requires Immediate solution of the problems in the United States. This was the keynote of an interesting and impressive address on "America's Problems and a Solution of Them," delivered by Dr. George H. Bradford last night at Chautauqua, before an attendance numbering approximately 1,500 people. It was one of the largest audiences which has attended any event at the canvas city. Solving America's problems, the speaker declared, could be accomplished through the elimination of pink teas, women's clubs, bridge parties, the qualification of men and women alike to enjoy the privileges of suffrage, the placing of Christ before creed in the church and the substitution of brotherhood for cruelty in

commerce. Education Required. His entire address was based on a plea for the proper, more extensive and replete education of the boys and girls of the United States. These, he said, must rebuild Europe and must be trained and educated to meet the problems which will be presented.- .. Dr. Bradford advocated the appoint,ment of one school teacher for every ffteen children, an analyzation of

'each pupil , and a course of study adaptable to each child. I To meet the increased school tax

(which would follow such a course, he suggested the use of the millions of dollars now spent - for millinery, to

bacco and liquor. He said ninety

million dollars were spent monthly for millinery, three billion dollars an

nually for tobacco and the money paid

annually for drink, if placed in forms of silver dollars would make a side

walk twenty-seven feet wide from Maine to California. Dr. Bradford flayed the politician and the captains of industry. The brains and genuises of the millionaires, he said, should be devoted to a study of the problems facing Young America and a concrete and practical solution of them. The politician was condemned as a person, whose selfaggrandizement and self-edification was the basis of his activity. Task Confronts Patriots. "The task of rebuilding Europe tomorrow and rebuilding America today is a task for patriots, not politicians," declared Dr. Bradford. "A patriot is one who follows God always, and follows God if he goes alone. "The responsibility of American citizens does not end with the vote. We have obligations and duties as soldiers of peace as well as soldiers of war. "There are no bad boys and girls. Many of them are misunderstood, but none of them, fundamentally bad. They must solve the world's problems because laws, bank clearings, automobiles, parties and valuable acres or land won't do it. "I believe in women's clubs, but not those clubs where the members argue the lunacy of Hamlet while civic problems go untouched. A woman can and should live the life of a Madonna and be home at 4 o'clock to meet her children when they come home from school. "If I had my way I would make qualification necessary before either men or women could vote and I believe if that were done, there would be fewer men and more women voting. "Leo Frank was hung yesterday. Do the big millionaires and captains of industry see the handwriting on the wall? They had better because the mob will get them as it got Frank if they continue their way. "There should be more honor among business men. Business can't put the tamp of approval on acts of thievery and cheating by commercial men and merchants. Those business men who follow that kind of practices should be subjected to the same punishment as tho outlaw and the hold-up man. "No man U on tho under sido because he wants to be. Men are not cheats and thieves by inheritance. They become so and then go bad because they have lost their friends. "Tho church is the program committee of tomorrow. It seeks better citiacashipi but It has something to learn, much to learn. The church needs to put democracy la religion and ptand up for Christ rather than creed. The church must turn commerce and business aside." Dr. Bradford closed with a plea for little acts of kindness and suggested that these begin today rather than tomorrow.

What They're Doing 4. 4. 4. 4. 4. 4. 4. 4. 4- 4 In City Of Canvas

Gee, but those Chautauqua campers are game. Not a complaint was

registered at headquarters this morn

ing because of the rain last night. One man said the rain throughout the night fell on his face. Why didn't he turn over. That's what the rest of them must have done. J. J. Somerville, generalissimo of the small boys' army of the Y. M. C. A. completed today the erection of a tent for boys. No provisions for sleeping were made but there are magazines, books, chairs, ice-water, Victrola and other things to please the boys. Henry Clark in talking health yesterday, advised the people to swat the fly, swat the person who don't swat the flies and double-swat the people who are as filthy as the flies. Persons from Boston who are camping at Chautauqua are: Mr. and Mrs. Frank Jenkinson, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Parks, Mr. and Mrs. P. L. Beard and daughter, Mary, Mr. and Mrs.

PALLADIUM BOYS ENJOY PROGRAM No campers on Chautauqua grounds fre getting more enjoyment during the outing than tho Palladium carrier boys whose ten, near tho entrance to the grounds, is one of tho most popular of the reservations. The boys yesterday went swimming at Hawkin," bathing beach and have also gone oating on Morton lake. And thev are 11 strong for Patsy, the confectionery ;:an, who has become more popular Jth the boya and girls than probably r.ny other individual at Chautauaua.

CONCERT MUSICIANS CONCLUDE PROGRAM AT CITY OF CANVAS

Ye Old Folks Choir company, which concluded its stay in Richmond and its program at Chautauqua, held the interest of its audience until the last

and proved a popular entertainment. One of the favorites of the company was the reader and pianist, Miss Garland. Her recitations invariably brought the desired encore. Several

solos by other members of the company and various duets and quartet

songs also were given hearty applause during each program delivered by the

company. Following is the program last night: . Quartet Carmena. . Solo Prologue, (Pagliacci) by Mr. Wood. Reading Miss Garland. Colo Miss Leavitt. Duet, "The Singing Lesson" Miss Herson and Mr. Page. Second part, in costume. Solo and Quartet, "Love's Old Sweet Song" Miss Leavitt and company.

Warren Gard, Miss Lucile Porterfield and Dr. J. J. Rife.

The rain certainly had no bad effect. Mr. Wlssler, assistant secretary

yesterday at Chautauqua' said reservations were still coming in and tent renters were beginning to pay their bills. So far 215 tents have been reserved and this number is slightly below that of last year.. Miss Grace Shera's kindergarten class at Chautauqua is gradually increasing and it is predicted that it will number fifty children before the close of the week. A piano has been placed in the tent, and games and sand-pile for the benefit of the youngsters. Meals are getting better and better at the dining tent Mr. Acton it must be remembered has a reputation to uphold and he evidently intends doing that very thing. His patronage, too, is increasing it Is said as a result of the efforts made to please all callers.

PATSY MAKES HIT Patsy made a big hit yesterday when he called for boys and girls and distributed, free, among them, candy and other things suited to the palate of children. No speaker at Chautauqua holds an audience of children like Patsy does.

GREEN SAYS PEOPLE TRY TO RUN HORSES AS FAST AS AUTOS

Herbert Green, owner of a livery barn, informed Mayor Robbina today that the automobile fever is so prevalent in this community that even patrons of livery barns are affected by it. "People who have been renting horses and rigs at local livery barns this summer seem to think that a horse can be driven just about as far

and Just about as fast as an automobile," he indignantly declared. -

Green was the prosecuting witness against Charles Mundhenk, 17, who

drove one of Green's horses so far Sunday that the animal finally coilopsed.

Mundhenk pleaded guilty to a charge of cruelty to an animals and was fined $5 and costs. He was told that if he had been older he would have received a much stiffer fine. Mundhenk drove the horse to Modoc and then back to Hagerstown, where the animal gave qut. The distance is about fifty miles. The animal is still in such an exhausted condition that it can not be returned to this city. The police are looking for some colored people who drove a horse over twenty miles a few days ago, with six of them riding in the buggy. The horse, owned by another local liveryman, is also in a serious condition.

BASKET DINNER.

A basket dinner will be given at the Second Baptist church August 22. The Rev. Anderson of Dayton will preach.

KISS STAIIl'S WORK CERTAIN TO ATTRACT

CAPACITY AUDIENCE

That Margaret Stahl remains one

of the most popular favorites of Chautauqua entertainers in Richmond, was evidenced yesterday afternoon in the large attendance which heard her

present "Madame Butterfly." Through

out the impersonation of characters in the play by herMiss Stahl held the closest attention of her audience. At its conclusion a storm of applause broke from the crowd. Madame Butterfly Is known as John Luther Long's masterpiece and the characters in the play impersonated by Miss Stahl were Cho Cho San Madame Butterfly; Susuld, her maid; Mr- Sharpless, the American consul in Japan and Mrs. B. F. Pinkerton, the Lieutenant's wife. Miss Stahl is held by' many people in Richmond to be inimitable in her expression of the emotions felt by Madame Butterfly as the wife of Lieutenant Pinkerton from the time of the birth of Trouble, their son, to the suicide of the Japanese "plaything." Tonight at 8 o'clock, she will be seen in "The Unseen Empire." It is assured that another large audience will greet her presentation of this play.

DISCUSS CONTRACTS TO HANDLE MAIL TO ENGLAND FROM U. S.

LONDON, Aug. 18. The British post office has been for some time

in doubt whether the Washington government, being opposed to the policy of ship subsidies adopted by previous administrations, would continue the existing contract for the carriage of mails. The British embassy at Washington now reports that the United States postmaster-general has decided to renew the contract. The present contract, which was entered into ten years ago, expires on October 12, and tenders are being invited for a renewal .of the service on the basis of a Ave years' contract and the payment of a special mileage rate for the carriage of mail matter. The invitations to submit -tenders is, in the present circumstances, more or

less a formality, inasmuch as the Amer

lean line is said to be the only line which is properly equipped to perform the service. A condition is that four

steamships of the first class, with ac

commodation for the mouning of

heavy guns, shall be placed at the dis

posal of the Navy Department in time of war. The conditions will be contin

ued in the new contract. No change

of route is contemplated.
