HANGING IN BALANCE
(By Associated Press)
Although the Berlin military writers are admitting that the Germans can
hardly retain the" initiative on the
Western front the German high com
mand is evidently doing its utmost to keep the British from making the best
use of their advantage in Flanders.
- Apparently dreading the effect of the next British stroke, Crown Prince Rupprecht has been launching attack after attack upon Field Marshal Halg's troops in their advanced position. In an effort to disarrange the British plans. Similar attacks were adopted last week on the eve of the renewed
British thrusts, heavy counter attacks
being delivered on the evening of Sep
tember 25 when it became evident to
the Germans that Halg was about
ready to launch his drive. Effort Was in Vain.
The record shows the effort of last week to have been futile. It is too early yet for the effect of the present attempt to be developed. Th British
commander, however, reports that the attacks themselves, five in number were complete failures, the Germans not being able to make any appreciable
impression on the British position along the Ypres-Menln road and at the southeastern edge of Polygon wood
where the thrusts were delivered.
With the whole German line In Flan
ders hanging in the balance, as the
military maps show, small surprise is expressed that the German command
is making such desperate efforts
balk the British plan and is fighting hard for every inch of ground pro
tecting the Lille-Ostend railway,
scant six miles beyond the present
point of the advance British ledge.
' On their front in northern France the British are holding themselves in
; restraint at present, permitting the crown prince to hammer away at their
lines in attacks which almpst invari
ably are repulsed with heavy German
losses.
Two attacks by the Germans In the Craonne sector on the Aisne front last . night were repulsed. Efforts by the Germans on two occasions to recap
ture trenches which they had lost in the Beumont region in the Verdun front also were unsuccessful.

PLAN TO ADOPT CHARITY BUREAU
BOND PAYMENT IS CELEBRATED
The last rites over the remains of
the city $80,000 "light plant bond"
Issue, were performed by the fathers of Richmond at the meeting of the
City council Monday night
The bonds were not burned, as had first been planned by the committee In charge of the celebration, but on the
advice of City Attorney Bond, they were filed away in the archives of the
city hall, where they may be referred
to in case a controversy arises.
The remainder of the program in celebration of the paying of the bands . was carried out by the committee in
charge, however. A brief history of
the municipal plant from the time it
was a privately owned corporation until the present. The report of Controll
er McMahan was also given at the
meeting as far as the report concerned the light plant and showed that there is at present in the treasury of the plant, more than $25,000. Short talks were made by members of the committee that had charge of the purchase of the plant, Secretary Albus, of the Commercial club and members of the South Side Improvement association.
Commercial club directors Monday night tabled a report of the social
service committee which suggested the Social Service Bureau be made a
subsidiary of the Commercial club.
The directors decided that social
service work should be conducted sep
arately from the Commercial club.
Secretary Albus was appointed to
represent the club at a meeting of
representatives of civic bodies to re
organize the charity bureau. He will
call the reorganization meeting.
The report urged, that six-.members
w iu i,uwinercuu ciud oe on we
Social Service Bureau's board and
that two of the three members of the executive committee be . Commercial club representatives. The report was
submitted by Lee B. Nusbaum, chair
man of the committee.
President Lontz said Tuesday he
believed charity work should be ad' ministered separately from commerc
ial affairs. He said, however, he wish
ed a representative of the club to help
to reorganize the bureau.
(By Associated Press) Despite the intensity of last night's
air raid on England the official figures
show that the four groups of German airmen making their sixth attack In
eight days inficted comparatively few casualties by the bombs they dropped. Lord French reports today that 10
persons were killed and 38 Injured. While Britishers axe urging reprisals for the German attacks on London the French are actually conducting such
retributive enterprises. Sunday night they bombed the German city of Stuttgart. 100 miles behind the frontier and last night the reprisals were continued
on a larger scale. Londoners, despite the repeated German attempts to drop bombs upon
the city, are standing the test well.
Last night, when two squadrons of
raiders succeeded in getting close to London and some of their number over, the city, there was no panic and
no untoward incident. Streets Are Deserted
Immediately the coming of the raiders was signalled the people in the
streets scurried for cover, while motor
busses and carts drew up to the curb
where the passengers alighted quick
ly. Within ve minutes the streets
were deserted virtually and a strange silence fell over the city.
Most of the offices and shops had
closed before six o'clock to permit
their employes to reach their homes
and there was only a fraction of the number of persons on the street as
under normal circumstances. with the gathering of dusk many of the poorer classes, particularly the wo
men and children, had gathered at the tube stations around the guild hall and St. Paul's and other places of refuge.
The police has been conspicuous
and special constables aligned them
in files and when the warning was given they were shepherded Into the refuges without confusion or crowding. The theatres which are open had
small audiences and the majority of
the restaurants were almost deserted,
The air battles over London have
become so much a matter of course

FAILURE OF
LOAN WOULD BE DEFEAT
SECRETARY M'ADOO
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct 2 If by any possible chance a single loan offered by the . United States government, to
Wayne county's campaign for the
sale of. Second Liberty Loan bonds is
under way, and according to state
ments given out by Richmond banks today there have been numerous ap
plications received for these securities.
Most of the banks in ; the smaller
towns of the county also have been
booking orders for the bonds and there
is no reason to doubt that Wayne county will give as good account of Itself, in the sale of the second Issue as it did when the original bonds were floated. At that time the quota for Wayne county was $800,000 and the subscriptions received totalled more than $1,300,000. Quotas Not Announced. George L. Cates, president of the Union Natloanl Bank, who is chairman of the Wayne county committee having in charge the sale of the Second loan bonds, said today that the state
committee has not as yet notified him of the quota for Wayne county. The government has indicated the quotas for each of the several federal bank
districts but the sub-division quotas of these districts have not been deter
mined
The Wayne county committee de
sires to impress on the citizens in gen
eral that the Second Liberty Loan
bonds will draw interest at the rate of
4 per cent.; will be free from every
form of tax and therefore may be con
sidered a high class Investment. .
Under the arrangement for floating the second issue the denominations are euch that the small Investor will have no trouble In purchasing a bond. Small Buyers Will Get 'Em. All persons subscribing for bonds of from $50 to $1,000, are certain to receive the bonds, while applications for bonds of large denominations will take their turn and if there is an over-subscription, which seems probable, many
persons who applied for bonds of large denominations may be disappointed. Richmond and Wayne county citizens desirous of doing a patriotic duty as well as taking advantage of a giltedge investment, are invited to call on any of the banks in Richmond or in any of the towns of the county and the plan will be explained in detail. The campaign is to be of short
duration, the final day of the drive for the $3,000,000,000 throughout the

The "gold pile" in the treasury must be kept as plentifully supplied as the coal pile of a business, Mr. McAdoo said.'

Suffrage Law to Be Decided
Soon By Indiana Supreme Court
Richmond coal dealers do not expect the price of coal to be reduced until they can obtain coal at the mines at the prices recently fixed by President -Wilson, dspite the government's decision on the control of coal profits. Local dealers said they had received no official notification from the government regarding the control of profIts and the fixing of retail prices by the government. Under the recent announcement of the government, the retail price of coal will be based on the government's prices at the mine mouth, and dealers will be allowed a profit of thirty per cent in excess of their margin of profit made in 1915. May Go Down. If based on the prices at the mine, as fixed by the government, retail
prices will be lower than the present
prices the dealers said. If based on prices the retailers had to pay for the coal, they say, there will be no change.
Prices in 1915 were about $2 lower
than the present prices, according to the dealers.
No coal Is being shipped Into Rich
mond at present, according to the
dealers, as they have been unable to obtain it at the mines. Mine opera
tors are sending most of their coal
to the northwest, as directed by tha
government, and say they have "nothing to offer."
Can Get It If They Pay Dealers who hold contracts with, tha
operators, under which they agreed to pay a price which is in excess of the prices fixed by . the government, are receiving coal, however, the deal
ers say.
According to C. S. Heet, manager of
the Hackman-Klehfoth company, if the
coal dealers are allowed a margin of
profit of thirty per cent in excess of
the profit made In 1915, about fifty cents a ton, net profit, will be made by the dealers. " ;
All dealers are predicting that this
winter will see the worst coal famine
ever experienced.

INDIANAPOLIS. Oct 2. When the Indiana Supreme Court reconvened today after the summer vacation, the suit involving the constitutionality of the Indiana "partial" suffrage law again became of general current interest Filed In a Marion county court, argued and decided while the Supreme Court was In vacation, the case now
has been filed in the highest court of the state, and all sides to the suit have agreed to ask a ruling at the earliest possible moment As the case now. stands the women will not be permitted to vote at the coming municipal election in Indianapolis in November, unless the higher court should reverse the county court The lower court enjoined the election officials of Indianapolis from permitting women to vote, although no restraining order to prevent women from registering was granted. Women have been registering in preparation for a possible reversal of the county court Ask Modification. -One of the first actions taken In the case after the Supreme Court convened was the filing of a petition on be
half of the election commissioners of Indianapolis, asking that the Injunction against them be modified so that they will be permitted to make preparations for the women to vote. The action was taken for two reasons. One was to permit women to vote at the election, the valadlty of their ballots depending upon a decision of the Supreme Court which might
be rendered after the election, and the
other reason was to be ready to permit the women to vote should the Supreme Court hold the suffrage law
