Women workers of England in one of the great ammunition factories. The women of England are truly the "men" behind the guns. Thel r work of producing shells for the British guns Is a tremendous task and they have worked willingly and capably a nd to the complete satisfaction of the war directors.

Only Two Touches First of It was a relief to attend a meeting which had no slightest relation to war. Such was the meeting of Art Study club members Wednesday morning at the opening lecture of a Beries of six to be given during the season by Arthur Brooks, celebrated art authority of Indiana university. The lecture was given, or rather read, by Professor Brooks before an audience of about fifty women in the high school auditorium. There were only two suggestions of the war in the meeting. One was when Professor Brooks hinted that the breakdown of civilization was due to over-emphasis on the scientific to the exclusion of the artistic, or spiritual. The other was the flying needles of several of his auditors. Professor Brooks' lecture was on broad nlles. He discussed the dif ference between art and science as basis for the five lectures which are to follow. He spoke specifically on landscapes. Lectures Are Subscribed. The six lectures have been subscribed by the 50 women present, according to Mrs. Arthur M. Charles,fwho preTelegrams Show How Greek King Secretly Aided the Kaiser LONDON, Nov. 6 A dispatch to Reuters Ltd. from Athens, says another series of telegrams, which were dispatched to Berlin during the regime of King Constantine have been published, and that they show the secret efforts of the former king to nelp tne Germans win the war. One of these dispatches dated Jan. 21. 1916, follows: "The king of Greece pledges his vord to the German emperor that in no circumstances shall any soldier or native be employed by the Royal Government against the German troops or their allies. Greece consents to the use of the Brama-Seres railway by Germany and her allies." Another telegram dated two days later, says the correspondent, explains the journeys of Prince Nicholas and Prince Andre to Petrograd and London had no political character. It says the visits were extended "to draw closer the bonds which existed between the royal house of Greece and the courts of London and Petrograd bonds which of late have very much relaxed." Inlater telegrams, the correspondent concludes, King Constantine bewailed that he could not do what he wanted to do because of entente pressure andthe' blockade. land and Switzerland for American soldiers. The superintendent of schools has consented to permit the boys to work on farms until the money is raised.

MOTHER OF THIRTEEN TELLS WHAT WAR MEANS This is from the mother of thirteen children. Some of her boys have gone into the army, and some are on the battleships. She says, in a letter to the TJ. S. Food Administration : t '!Wei??th.ers have Siven our sons and made no complamt. This is our patriotic duty. If it is the duty of the government to tear from our bosoms the sons we love 10 dearly, and send them to the battlefields in France, surely it is the dutv of the provernraent TO MAKE THOSE WHO HAVE NO SONS SAVE FOOD. We have given our sons :o the Army and Navy, and our daughters to the Red Cross. Now are you going to do anything to lessen our burden! l want to let you know what war means to the mother : It means to decrease her days by sorrow and grief." &Z'.r7-' Now are you going to do anythmg to- lessen her. burden?

of War at Art Lecture Series

sided and this is somewhat of an ac complishment in view of the diversity of interests now engrossing Richmond women. Professor Brooks gave a clear statement of the difference between the photographic work of second rate artists and the work of genius. "A mirror or a camera reflects what it sees, while an artist interprets," he said. Technique was designated the starting place for art by the speaker. He directed a screen against the "mirror men," as he called them. Men who are content to reflect continually what they observe and never interpret or create were placed in this category by the professor. The lecture was highly diverting to cultivated minds and bespeaks an interesting series. F. D. H. U, JOHNSON SERIOUSLY ILL Henry U. Johnson, a Richmond attorney, and former congressman, is confined to his home with a severe attack of pleurisy. Mr. Johnson was at first believed to be suffering from pneumonia, but his condition was greatly improved at noon and his physician announced that his ailment was a severe case of pleurisy. His condition is regarded as serious. Military Companies Will be Merged Under instructions from the adjutant of the state, the two companies of militia that were recently organized here will be merged into one company. The first company organized will become a part of the Business Men's unit at the meeting to be held in the Commercial club rooms next Friday night and will meet regularly with that company on Tuesday nights hereafter. Captain Myron Malsby announced Wednesday that several matters of importance will be taken up at the meeting Friday and that a large attendance is desired. Schools Praised for Pledge Efforts Superintendent Giles received a letter from H. E. Barnard, Federal Food Administrator of Indiana, stating public schools in Indiana have done more work in the Hoover food pledge card campaign than all other agencies put together. Barnard urged special attention be called to the placing of pledge cards In the windows at the homes of the children.
