WAR IS BENEFIT TO SCHOOL SPORT DECLARES NOHR
Coach Says Boys Eager For Physical Contests Soccer Is Planned. By DON WARFEL With the opening of High school less than a week distant, plans are already being made by Physical Di rector Nohr for the athletics of the school during the coming fall and wir.tor seasons. Instead of working a hardship on the school's athletics, the war condi tions of the country really have benefited sports, by giving every High school boy an incentive for more exercise and better physical development, says Mr. Nohr. "Farm work also has made huskies out of young fellows that were mere boys when they left school last spring, and the sports of the school will lack little in the way of weight. I could hardly recognize some of the boys after they had spent part of the summer on the farm," Nohr declared. Soccer May Be Played Tennis, and probably soccer, will form the chief sports of the early fall season. Tennis players of the school , have been practicing for the greater part of the summer in small playground tournaments and from the leaders will be chosen a team to represent the school in tourneys with teams from other cities. The first lnterscholastic tournament will be with Anderson High school on September 21 at the Richmond playRrounds. Shel and Burr Simmons, Richard Tbornburg and Roland Koys probably will represent R. H. S. in this tourney. Other meets are pending with Hamilton, Muncie and Newcastle teams. Efforts will be made to Introduce soccer as a fall sport for the first time this season. Soccer has gained some favor among the schools of the east and colleges In all parts of the country and is a game that can easily hold the Interest of the players. It has an advantage over bseball in that no special ability is required of a player for any one position. Basketball .Starts Soon Basketball, which will form the chief sport of the school again this winter, will start about the second week after the opening of school next Monday. It is the plan of Coach Nohr to start the basketball season with intergroup games and from these games pick the men for the varsity and second team squads. With three varsity men of last year to build around, it is promised that a stronger team than last year's will represent the school during the next winter. Shel Simmons, last year's center and forward, will be given first chance at the pivotal position on this year's first string with Markley Lahrman, last, year's second, string center as a. substitute. Wendell O'Neal and Everett Shelton are expected back on the squad again for the coming season, thus making a backbone for both the offensive and defensive side of the team. Several new men will enter the school next fall and of these, some may be able to strengthen the basketball team. Roy Harding, forward on Woodward High school team of Cincinnati, has signified his intention of trying out for basketball and will make a splendid mate for O'Neal on the varsity. Harding is stockily built snd should be able to take Tal Jessup's place on the squad. Shideler Harte and Frank Albus are other new names that may appear on the R. H. S. line-up.

Democracy Cannot Come Through Victory of Autocracy 7 Gompers Tells American Labor Alliance
MINNEAPOLIS. Sept. 5. Samuel Gompers of Labor and chairman of Federation of Labor and chairman of the American Alliance for. Labor and Democracy, which opened its national conference here today, outlined the purpose of . the organization as the assembling for the support of the gov ernment "all the moral and material power of the working class of the nation." "It shall be our task," he said, "to interpret America's democratic spirit and purpose in this conflict to our fellow workers, especially those of foreign birth, and to combat every form of propaganda, no matter by whom it may be carried on, which tends to weaken the loyalty and devotion of the masses and their willingness to strive and sacrifice for the nation and its high purpose." The complete declaration of principles as announced by Mr. Gompers is as follows: "Assert Our Loyalty." "As believers in the great and splendid vision of democracy and interna tionalism, the fraternalism and solid arity of all people, we assert at this time our unqualified loyalty to the Republic of the United States of America and our determination to do all that lies In our power to win the war in which it is engaged. J'Loyalty to the ideals of freedom, democracy and internationalism re quires loyalty to America. "Disloyalty to America in this crisis is disloyalty to the cause of freedom, democracy and internationalism. "No national selfishness impelled this Republic to enter the war. The Impelling motive was the consuming idealism born with the establishment of this Republic itself to preserve freedom not only for itself but for all na tions, great and small, and the body of international law which all the free demorcatic nations of the world re spect and observe and only the brutal autocracies seek to dishonor and de stroy. In such a conflict real standard bearers of democracy and true internationalists can have no hesitation in supporting our Republic which has made itsown the cause and interests of all free peoples. It is therefore In truth not a "capitalists' war," but a freeman s war. Bring Workers Support. "Fully impressed by these facts, realizing that a noble internationalism is implicit in our American conception of national existence. It shall be our purpose to bring to the support of the government all the moral and material power of the working class of the nation. "It shall be our task to interpret America's democratic spirit and purpose in this conflict to our fellow workers, especially those of foreign birth, and to combat every form of propaganda, no matter by whom it may be carried on, which tends to weaken the loyalty and devotion of the masses and , their willingness to strive and sacrifice for the nation and its high purposes. "We shall strip the mask from those who in the name of democracy, antimilitarism, and peace are engaged in the nefarious propaganda of treachery to all that these noble words represent. We indignantly repudiate the claim that this propaganda which, be it remembered, brings joy and comfort to German autocracy has the support of the labor movement of America. Not even at the behest of the so-called people's council will the organized workers of America prostitute the labor of Belgium the power that would subject Russia to a worse despotism than that of the Romanoffs. "Democracy will not be served by the victory of autocracy, by letting the Declaration of Independence be supplanted by the Kaiser's fiat. "Not By Surrender." "Militarism will not be checked by BRIEFS Fresh Oysters arriving daily at Benders.

"Peace will not be secured to the world through the subjection of the free and democratic nations. "We shall be as loyal to the struggle for freedom and democracy at
nome as to tne struggle for freedom and democracy In International relations. x "To the men w and women of the American labor movement, and to all sincere friends .of democracy and internationalism, we call for loyal support to America and her allies in this straggle. Let us make our beloved Republic strong and victorious for the sake of humanity, and thus insure for our children and their - children the priceless heritage of liberty and democracy. Let us, at the same time, stand shoulder to shoulder, in the fight against the foes of democracy within our own borders, resolved never to rest until the goal of democracy, industrial, political and international has been attained."

OLD WEST STILL HAS FASCINATION
There is a fascination about, the history of the Far West that is irresistible, and stories of the intrepid pioneers who made the "Winning of the West" possible never grow trite. The romance of the old West, however, is giving way to the reality of the -new West. Roving bands, of Indians no longer attack the prairie schooner caravans of the pioneers, and the bandits who formerly held up the Deadwood coach have adopted the more scientific method of dynamiting the express car on the Limited Mail. The old days, nevertheless, still have a fascination for young and old, and it is this fact which gives primary interest to the exhibitions of the Jess Willard-Buffalo Bill Wild West show, which is coming to Richmond, Friday Sept. 7. . A very considerable interest also attaches to the announcement that Jess Willard, the new world's champion, will be with the show in person when it exhibits in this city, and this interest is accentuated by the fact that he will, it is declared, appear in his original character as a cow-boy a role he played in real life in his younger years and that he will join with the other Wild West people in giving color and verity to the exhibition. Incidentally, it is announced, he will also appear in ring costume, and, with a sparring partner, illustrate how he gave one Jack Johnson, erstwhile champion of the world, the blow that cost him his supremacy among the world's pugilists. This, it is announced, takes place in the big show, and not in the concert.
Slackers Seeking to Adopt Children
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 5. To prevent slackers from adopting children in order to avoid drafting Into the national army, the Children's Aid Society of this city has been forced to put in operation a new set of regulations for the adoption of children. The general secretary of the society said today there has been a large increase in the percentage of married men under 31 years who have applied for the adoption of children. Under the new regulations if an applicant for a child is subject to draft no child is permitted to be placed in his home unless his wife has independent means of supporting herself and the child or unless the man is able to leave sufficient means for their support in his absence.
MEDICAL ADVICE ON BLOOD TROUBLES GIVEN FREE BY EXPERT AUTHORITY
Costs Nothing for Opinion of Your Own Case. Everyone recognizes the value of expert opinion. This is the age of specialism, and when we have work of importance to be done, we go to an 'expert in his line. Years ago it was realized that medicine covered too broad a field for any one man to master its every branch. Hence, the doctor who specialized in some particular branch became the most proficient and the most successful. The wonderful success of the great blood remedy, S. S. S., is due largely to the fact that it has not been recommended as a cure-all, but strictly for those diseases having their origin in
