Rivcrdale Children Feel Bite of Icy Blasts During Storm

Ring Winter's assault on Richmond yesterday and this morn Ids caused most damage In Riverdale. Coal Is one of the best munitions in the -warfare on cold but there was a inanition shortage In Riverdale. Scores of homes in Riverdale were Invaded by little Icy Blasts, which are King Winter's choicest ighters. Instead of wounding their vfctims they numbed them and made their fingers end noses blue with cold and sent trickles up and down their 6pines. Of course the old monarch of chills end frosts isn't partial. He invaded homes in all sections of Richmond. But these other homes were supplied with ammunition to withstand his attacks. Children Suffer Most Little folks suffered most from the titter charges of the King's minions In Riverdale. Another splendid defense against the assaults is warm clothing. Because they weren't equipped properly to battle with Icy Blasts many school children were unable to venture forth this morning. They were .besieged by the forces of snow and ice. Out of a total enrollment of 240 at Whitewater school in ' Riverdale, 74

children were absent this morning. The usual list of absences is 10 to 15. Not all of these children were kept at home because they were improperly equipped, says - Principal Ramsey, but a goodly proportion of them was. Another reason why parents kept their children at home this morning was sickness.

DIVINE GUIDANCE

Continued From Page One.l But it was overthrown by the wave of public opinion, as were the liquor interests in this state. "In like manner some day the wave of public opinion will cause war to pass. The entrance of the United States possibly might be a necessary and proper step in the passing of the war. Would Shorten Struggle "the entrance of the LTnited States certainly would shorten the war and would give this nation a place at the peace council. America would be able to contribute elements toward a permanent peace. American representatives would be able to inject republicanism, in a big sense, into the deliberations," he said.

Other Friends' ministers touched upon the diplomatic crisis. Rev. Charles Woodman at Allen Jay Memorial church prayed that the United States might be spared the horrors of war. Rev. Milo Hinckle also touched upon the situation in his prayers. Revival meetings will be held in South Eighth Street church each evening this week. Dr. Alexander Purdy of Earlham will preach. State Struggle Just Starting. Rev. Milo Hinckle warned his audience at East Main Street Friends' church that the prohibition fight had only begun. He spoke on "The State Reborn."

Central von Hindenburg, hero of the Mazurian Lakes campaign, and idcl of the German people, is reported to be in almost supreme control of the German conduct of the war. It is believed that von Hindenburg counselled the resumption of ruthless submarine warfare as a'means of starving out England. Grand Admiral von Tirpitz, recently deposed, was the leader of the party advocating "? rightfulness." Chancellor von Beth-mann-Hollwcg did not believe in such forceful methods and succeeded in forcing von Tirpitz out.. The "fnghtfulness" party apparently has come back in favor with von Hindenburg at its head.

MUSICIANS ANXIOUS TO HEAR SOPRANO

Considerable interest has been aroused from among out of town music lovers by the proposal to bring Madame GaLli-Curci here for a concert. Word came from Dayton this morning that a number of persons expect to attend the concert here if it is arranged. Rutherford B. Jones and W. P. Martin, who are arranging details of the event, are encouraged over the response received today to their proposal. Galli-Curci is the soprano who has taken Chicago by storm this season. She is the sensation of the Chicago Opera society. In real life she is an Italian noblewoman, the Marchioness Amelita GalliCurci, and only has been in this country since last fall.
