"The United States and the Next War" j ; There has just been published a remarkable book; "The United States and the Next War," by George Lauferti of New York. Every page of this book is a recital of cold, hard facts and a clarion call to the American 'people to arouse themselves from the ; lethargy into which they have been falsely lulled by 'fanatical "peace-at-any-price" 'advocates and ishort-sighted, pork-grabbing politicians, i ( "The United States and the Next War" is 'neither pro-Ally nor pro-German. ' It is - proAmerican, and the arguments it advances tersely and powerfully point out theinecessity.for prompt preparations to adequately, defend the republic from foreign aggression. . . ' . X 5 i The Palladium expects, from time : to time, ,'in compliance wfth what it believes to be its duty to that part of the American public it strives

to faithfully serve' to publish extracts from

'The United States and the Next War." , Today is reproduced a part of the preface to

this book, in which is summarized the existing

military situation In this, country, our prepared

ness to resist a foreign onslaught : ', ; "Admiral Fiske testified before a congressional committee that to put our navy in shape ,to fight an efficient enemy would take five years. ,He has now been detailed to new duties. - "Admiral Fletcher reported, that the Atlantic battleship fleet was short several thousand men and officers. ? "Substantiating the testimony that, of all our submarines, only one was in condition for service, in the recent manoeuvres, our entire submarine strength came to grief in a series of accidents ."which can only be explained by faulty construction or inefficient hanging. "The German battleship Bluecher was sunk due to the fact that she was too slow to keep up with her consorts, which escaped from the pursuing English ships. Yet she was three knots taster than the best armored ship in our navy, y "In the class of armored ships making between 22V6 to 30 knots, Japan has 6, Italy 10,

Russia 10, France 6, England and Germany incalculably mare. Not a single armored ship in our fleet can go as fast as 22 knots.

"in tne navy investigation n wsw wvb light that we have not a single scout less than ten years old. Those that we have are poorly armed and too slow to be of use. ' "England's scouts, of which she builds eight each year, are capable of making thirty knots. The fastest of our three' has made twenty-six

knots. . : j "The . secretary of war has stated on several occasions that we have on hand but one round of ammunition for our field artillery. "Our army posts are isolated; our army reserve consists of sixteen men; we have no com pulsory system of military training. . "Our citizens, for the most part, are unskilled in handling any arms, and unversed in those matters of sanitation and hygiene which caused the loss of hundreds of thousands of brave men in the Spanish-American war. - r "Our secretary of navy does not believe in the necessity for prepared strength in peace times. Neither does our ex-secretary of state. "We are deficient in motor transportation, in machine guns, and in every department :of military and naval affairs. Buying Ethics . A Chicago, news dispatch regarding the proposed British loan says: Iflthe securities representing a for-eign-loan can be disposed of in goodly .' : v amount among investors in this coun- - fry, business interests, who should be among the liberal subscribers, believe ' that the influence thus created will go a long-way toward eliminating a growing popular hue and cry about our traffic in war munitions. For cold blooded cynicism this line of reason

ing reaches the limit. Americans are to be hoodwinked into buying the bonds of Britain. Hav

ing bought these wildcat government securities those among these Americans who had heretofore been favoring abolishing our traffic in war munitions from ethical grounds, are expected to become staunch supportersof the war munitions business. In other words their ethics will be governed by their investments. England evidently has not forgotten her centuries long experience m profiting from bribery. She thinks the American people can be bribed into supporting her in this war so, canny nation that she is, she is going .to borrow money from the American people with which to bribe

them. Robbing Peter to pay Paul isthe greatest of international sports. Only it is tough as an American to find ones countrymen credited with

having so little horse sense by Britain as to fall

for such a confidence game.

ORPHANS' HOME.

The Wayne County Orphan's Home was one of Richmond's charities. It had its origin with the Horrisson relief fund, by which fund it was supported until 1887. . Up to 1881. from the time of its founding, this horns was

on South Fifth street. In that year the county commissioners became in

terested in the . work and purchased the property at the corner of Central

avenue and the National road in West

Richmond. The county, however, did not take full charge of the home until 1887. when it passed wholly into the hands of the county. Later the orphanage was discontinued, children being sent to White's Institute. Now most of them are placed in private homes. . ,

EDMUND B.D'AUVERGNE

Steele Leaves Sir Ralph Gaveston and His Friend and a Plot Is Set Brewing v of Serious Import.

Some young men attempt to force their attentions on women to whom they take a fancy. No young man who has any respect for himself or a girl would continue to do such a thing..

Our attention has been . called to

instances where young men. total strangers to girls, would call them re

peatedly over the telephone in attempts to . make engagements with

them. In one case, the young woman who was being tormented by the swain without judgment or a sense of proprieties, recognized the voice and walked away from the telephone, leaving the luckless admirer holding

a warm receiver to his ear.

This served him right. If. similar

treatment were meted out to more

young men, they would be less bother

some.

Dear Miss Carothers Should I al

low my daughter to wear , out her .old

party gowns to school this year? She

insists on doing so, but I think they

are too conspicuous.

MOTHER.

You certainly are right in objecting.

You should not allow your daughter to wear these dresses to school as it

would undoubtedly cause unfavorable

comment among her fellow students.

Dear Miss Carothers I am to be

married soon. Is it necessary that have an announcement party? ENGAGED.

It is not absolutely essential, although most girls like "all the social

affairs that are generally considered

as -a part of the engagement and mar

riage.

CHAPTER XVII. ' The music and the buzz of conversation rendered Mr. Erdsley's voice inaudible to all save Gaveston. Varney, an amused spectator of the scuffle, had seated himself beside Victor. . The baronet returned to the table on which, at Vamey's bidding, the waiter had already placed three bottles of champagne. He sat down with an air of apology and relief. "Upon my word. Captain Steele," he chuckled, "you collared poor old Erdsley in masterly style." "Who Is that cad?" asked Varney coldly, filling his cousin's glass. V ,"Cad? Oh, come, I say, that's too strong. It was just his fun. He's a bit of an outsider, but not a bad sort." Sir Ralph drained his glass with relish. He glanced Interrogatively vat Victor. "Funny thing he- has an ideaTthtrthe met you before somewhere can't recollect where." The soldier shook; his. head. . . , Sir Ralph dismissed the incident with one of the fine gestures he found bo useful in silencing inquisitive share

holders. He lit a cigar and pressed another on Victor. How's the boy?" he asked abruptly. s -, "Going strong," answered Varney. 1: "Good." Gaveston refilled his glass and raised it to his lips. "Here's to the youngster the heir of both the older and the younger lines Gavestons and Varneys. May his shadow never grow less!" he sour taste left by the recent fracas 'was washed down with the toaetr - GaMon;- as 4f determined to efface u aH--. memory- of his ill-bred friend,, exerted himself to the utmost to keep Victor entertained. He proved himself an excellent talker, and kept up a running fir.e of witty comment on the Reople round about them. "Let's get out of this tomfoolery," Varney said to his companions. '"It reminds me of Hampstead Heath on Easter Monday. How you can stick to this sort of thing year after year, Ralph. I cannot understand." "It's because I don't allow myself to grow middle-aged, dear boy," the baronet assured him, winking at Victor. ; Varney was staying at the Elysee Palace hotel, close by. He -left his friends at- the door .with a sulky intimation that he would let them know his further movements by the telephone next morning. Steel found himself alone with Sir Ralph. "Well, what 6hall we do?" began the genial financier. "The night is yet young. What do you say to a run up to the Rat Mort?" "Thanks, no. I am frankly sleepy and shall go on. I am staying at the Hotel Terminus." - "Just as you like. I'll walk you

there. I hate going to bed at any time. You are staying here, I sup-

Pose, to. wait for Mrs. Melas."

"No," said Victor, in surprise. "I did not know she intended to stop in

Paris.

"Oh, yes? she's bound to stop here

on her way. to London," said the bar

onet evasively. He stopped under a lamp to light a cigar, looking at bis

companion keenly from beneath his heavy lids. "You had a good time on the boat, 1 hear. My cousin's wife , seems to have been the life and soul ' of the party." k

"Yes Mrs. Varney was fairly lively." . , "Would you believe it, Steele," said Sir Ralph in a confidential tone. "I have never seen Oswald's wife. In fact I did not know he was married till a year after the event. You have known her for years, I understand. Mrs. Varney was a Miss Morne Miss Leslie Morne before she was married, wasn't she?" "I have heard so," admitted the officer. It was now his turn to subject the baronet to a scrutiny. Sir Ralph turned into Vetzel's. He had no difficulty in distinguishing his friend Erdsley at a table in a far corner. "I thought I should find you here," he said. "I have just left that man Steele." What is all this about your having met "him before? He says. he doesn't remember you." ' A bitter sneer lent a sinister impresslveness to Erdsley's insignificant

face. I don t suppose he does. To

the best of my belief he only saw me that once, but I kept my eye on him. Oh, he's the man all right." He eyed his 'friend suspiciously. "What's the

game? Why do you want to know about him?" Honor among thieves was a sentimental convention to which Sir Ralph attached no respect whatever, but he recognized community of Interest as

the basis of all partnerships.

"The game has hardly begun yet,"

he said, "but the position briefly is this. ' r-warit to get some money out

of a certain woman, and I have an impression that she's smitten with this chap Steele. ; Anything to his dlscredit or anything that may arouse her jealousy will therefore be of great use to me." "Is there any chance of this woman's money getting us out of that hole?" he Inquired anxiously. "It's our only chance," replied Gaveston quietly, "so let's hear what you know about Steele." "Not much nothing very damaging. About four years ago, at Hastings, I spoke to a girl on the front. She appealed to a man for protection. It was this big brute Steele. Of course, I couldn't 6tand up against him,- so I cleared. I came across him and the girl spooning. I just watched 'em, and, to my glee, I discovered that the girl was governess to my cousin Richard's

kids. "So I waited till Mrs. R. came down and then I quietly reported the girl to her. She sent for her and asked her if she was engaged to the chap. She wouldn't answer any questions, and left the house an hour after. I strolled over to the station and saw the two of them go off to London together. So we can pretty well guess what became of her." Mr. Erdsley smiled unpleasantly and finished his absinthe. Sir Ralph did not appear to be much Impressed by this story. "There's not much in that to his discredit, is there?" he remarked, as though disappointed.

"We don't know for certain whether he did the girl any harm. What did you say her name was?" "Leslie Morne." Not a muscle of the baronet's face moved. "Ah," he said listlessly. "Ever heard of her since?"

"Never. Not likely to. I have often

expected to run across her at one of

these shops at Montmartre. Or she

may be in the Thames by this time. "He's an ugly customer to tackle,

mused the baronet; "all bone and

sinew hard as nails. The sort of beg

gar who would simply break every bone in your body instead of arguing with you." He directed a glance of

spueiui amusement at his friend.

"I shan't give him a chance," said

Erdsley with a nervous laugh. "It's

you he's likely to go for if you are

both after the same woman. But. 1 think I will try to find out what became of the girl." "I want to talk to you about that balance sheet. TJnles we can square the auditors we shall be in a tight place. He looked at his friend with a queer smile. "It's extraditable, remember." If he could only get hold of that woman and her money. Well, there might be something n what he had heard tonight. Steele had denied all previous acquaintance with his couBin's wife. There had evidently been something between them in the past. He wondered how much. It might, of course, turn out to be a mare's nest. The Egyptian officer, he had learned from Mrs. Melas, had been a ranger, and he might not wish to

embarrass Mrs. Varney by bertaying

her original humble circumstances.

But if Mrs. Varney did not want her past known for that or some more serious reason, it might be worth her while to pay those who knew for their

silence.

Sir Ralph resolved to make her acquaintance without delay. It was lucky that Erdsley had no suspicion that the girl he had spied upon at Hastings and seen going off to town with a non-commissioned officer was

no other than the wife of the squire of

The big sale at the Railroad Store, operated by the Standard Merchandise Co., advertised to open at 8: SO this morning, began on scheduled time apd the crowds In waiting were enormous. In rush, crush and enthusiasm It was a phenomenal success and at the present writing their large force of 40 to 50 salespeople are doing their best to accommodate the great mass of people In attendance. Mr. Stark, manager of this popular store, when seen this afternoon, stated that in all his experience he bad never seen such a crowd of eager buyers at any sale and he has already arranged for more help for the balance of the week to accommodate the great crowds anticipated. People came from all corners of this and surrounding counties. There were both old and new customers, some

that have never been In Richmond before, snapping up the bargains and carrying away merchandise by the arm-loads. They came from Cambridge ' City, Campbellstown. West Florence, Liberty. Lynn. Greensfork. Williamsburg. Westvllle. Eldorado. Bethel, Spartalnsburg. New Paris, Dublin. Hagerstown. Losantsrille. Greenville. New Castle, New Madison. Gettysburg. Glen Kara, West Alexandria. Eaton. Economy. Fountain City, Clifton. Abington. Germantown. New Hope, College Corner. Morning Sun, Boston, Milton, Winchester. Modoc, Arba, Hollansburg, Centervllle. Camden, Fairhaven. Oxford. Cottage Grove, and a great many from distant rural routes. All seemed satisfied and bought heavily, and many of the customers stated they would recommend the sale to their friends. Considering all the facts it Is no wonder that the sale was such a stupendous success

Inasmuch as the advertising put out by The Knickerbocker Sales and Brokerage Co. during the past week was stamped with sincerity and honesty. The reductions were Just as stated and the customers apparently enjoyed mingling with the great throngs' that crowded the aisles of the store from early morning till the time of going to press. Both Mr. Stark snd the ' representatives of The Knickerbocker, Sales and Brokerage Co. attribute the wonderful success of the sale to the extensive use of printers Ink. both circulars and through the columns of The Palladium. Of course, they state the main thing that brought out such enormous crowds were the values offered, that proved even more than the

public expected, and the method of advertising them by bringing same to the notice of practically every one within a radius of 60 miles. This Is without a doubtr the greatest event ever held In Richmond. The sale win continue 15 more days as It Is advertised to run to. and including Saturday; October 2nd. The stors is watt ar ranged to handle bis; crowds ' daOy and further announcmnts of tntsret will appear as the sale progresses.
