vWith the sentiments of citizens.

. lieve the company ought to revise its franchise ' so that the membership will not be restricted to

persons of teutonic descent. This proposal is recommended By the directors and ought to be 5 acted on favorably by the members. - If a man of German origin believes he is. as patriotic a citizen as a man of Irish origin, then the Irishman ought to have equal opportunity with the German iri joining the insurance company. The logic of this proposition cannot be attacked. No hardship Will be worked on the insurance ' company by the change of its title or the throwing aside of the restriction of membership. In fact, both changes will work for the improvement of the organization and enhance its bene

they will continue the direction of public affairs, as they directed operations on the field of battle. There' will be no temporizing, no halfway measures, no evasion, for politics and partisanship will have consideration and recognition only as

their purpose to help "irid riot tor, times comes, arid it will come, as nation' survives there will be only the discussion of how best to pro-: be the voice of him who offered

himself, the other of film who did all he could to help in this present struggle. No need to fear

not be known. The soldier's rec his company clerk and the histor better known to his neighbors and home, than will be the record of

those' whose pVrfdrrriarice is less obscured by intervening distance and the smoke of battle. The slacker of today will find public notice arid popular opprobrium far more difficult to escape than Hun gas or machine guns. The stay-at-home iri this war may as well prepare to give an account of himself now. For even should he succeed in deceiving his neighbors with American flags draped about a slacker home; with protestations of loyalty, attested by words alone ; with hurrahs and patriotic song singing, they will avail him naught when the pack is cut for the new deal. He must then show the proof of his loyalty. He must have both the reputation arid "the goods." Possession of less than a fair share of Liberty bonds,

proportionate to his means is likely to be accepted as the best evidence of his having failed to make genuine sacrifices here at home. No stay-at-home in this Crisis, if he expects to exercise influence and participate in issues of state,

when again such matters press for solution, dare permit his fondness for his dollars to stand in the way of his unreserved support of his govern

ment when such support is as seriously needed as it is now. His best bid for public esteem and leadership then, as now, is to be found in a subscription to Liberty bonds, in such measures as actually to constitute a personal offering.

nobody if the report of the Senate Com

mitted on Military Affairs' about our failure to produce, airplanes for war s'ervice is treated merely as

a contribution to the files of the document room. The report reveals what the committee very temperately describes as a "gravely disappointing situation." We need not dwell upon the details of the conditions the committee" found to exist. The' disappointment to the country will not be softened by anything contained in the minority report - signed by three Democratic members of the committee. They merely set up in palliation of the shortcomings in airplane production the very great difficulties encountered in the work. In time of war men must be found who can overcome difficulties. The important thing now is to end the country's disappointment, to win success where the record thus far is largely one of failure. The facts are before Congress, before the Administration. The recommendation of the committe is that "the matter of production should be taken out? of the hands of the Signal Corps entirely," that it "should be controlled by one executive officer appointed by the President and responsible to him." The recommendation and the report cannot be ignored. The matter is far too serious for any further exhibition of a "certain aloofness in dealing with persons possessing Information based upon experience" to which the committee report refers as one of the causes Of failure. Mistakes have been made, very serious mistakes, that cannot be denied. They should be frankly admitted and promptly

the best way out of a pretty bad sit will best satisfy the country, it is the the production of airplanes for use of in France. people are urged to be in the Sunday schools next SuDday The Eastern Star will have work at the next meet ing.

An old lady at Inslc had some darning cotton with which repairs were made. General Hitemupsfci . of the Red Guard, was decorated with , the Order of the Bull yesterday for bavin im parted certain valuable military , se crets to the enemy. . "We need more heroes like you " said Premier Lenine. We had 90,0000 rounds of amnnition yesterday fpr the battle to be held at Jimjamowsfef, but. were disappointed, as the local fight laws allow only ten rounds to a dicision. "., The battle of Devirisk has been postponed until next week. When the date arrives our forces will not be there. . - - , Word has ' Just been . received that the Red Guard have occupied an important town in the interior of Siberia. The name of the town is being sent in on a string ot flat carj. The telegraph company refusea to assume the risk of Bending it. The kaisers message to' our noble army are beebming so pointed the telegraph company will soon have to use barbed wire. Trotsky is sending friends bur advance dates. We have .played Petrcgrad, Moscow, Insk, Vinsk and Zlnsk, Tomorrow we play Ogosh, Korea, if we can gat there in time. These long jumps axe Serce. , The. cruiser Busshotski, which was brought from Petrograd, having been converted into" a tank, has been abandoned. The upkeep was too costly, and, besides, we have plenty of tanks, Trotsky has announced his plan of campaign. H6 expects to kill the Germans all off In a unique way. When they arrive at a place and find we re not there, they will die ot cha grin. . . .. . General Hotfootskis division of the Red Guard army encountered a ter rific steback yesterday. They were moving rapidly in the direction of Vla divostok when they found that somebody had inadvertently removed a bridge over the River Owsk. The general commended his Bolshivik followers to plunge into the water, but they refused to do bo, claiming it was against the principles of the revolution. So the general and his army are marching around the river, which has its source in Bassarabia. One of the worst engagements of the war. has just taken place here. Prince Michaelovitch has announced that - he is going to marry Mizzi Hootch of the ; Siberian Belles Bur lesque Company. General Boozevitch is discouraged He says, owing to the high price of henfruit, he isnt able to egg his troops on any longer. Password for tonight: "Judas Is cariot" Notes on Music . Mery Zentay has become a Colum bia artiste. At four she first began to play the violin and the age cf seven she was playing it in public. She was the favorite pupil of Hubay. Her first two records are Rubinstein': "Melody in F" and the Barcarolle from the "Tales of Hoffman," both of which the plays with a perfection that fully explains her notable suc cess on both sjides of the Atlantic. .Arthur Fields, with the assistance of the Peerless Quartette, has recent ly recorded one of the famous "hike songs of the war for Columbia. . It is McKenna's "Any Old Place the Gange Goes, I'll Be There." On the other side the Peerless Quartette sings "Faugh-A-Ba Hah," which they say is good old Irish for "Clear the Way, and which many a fighting Irishman is crying as he goes over the top. Notable records of "Where Is My Wandering Boy Tonight?" and "Jesus Lover of My Soul" have been made for Columbia by Henry Burr, tenor, with orchestra accompaniment. Couldn't Eat Pies or Meats But Stomach Trouble Is Gone Completely Since Indian apolis Man Took Tanlac. George Cobledge, janitor at the St, Clair apartments, Indianapolis, Ind., used to have a lot of trouble with his stomach. Eating anything rich like pie or meat completely upset his 6tom ach. he said. "After eating rich foods like that, my stomach would burn for a long time, ana hot water would raise np In my throat and mouth," Mr. Cooledge said. "There were lots of food3 that made me have the heartburn too, and altogether my stomach was In pretty bad condition. "I tried about everything but noth ing helped me much. As Quickly as I a stop taking the medicines my trouble would come back. "Well, I finally read in the papers about a case that seemed almost like mine and Tanlac had helped the per son a lot. I decided to try Tanlac. ; "Tanlac did the work for me. I only had to take one bottle. When I'd finished with that bottle my stomach was back , in , good condition and I wasn't bothered with any of the trou ble I had had before: "I haven't had a bit of trouble with my stomach since, either", and I want to recommend Tanlac for others." " Take Tanlac ftrid get your system back in shape after the winter. Tan lac Is an entirely vegetable tonic made up of roots, barks and herbs and it tones up And invigorates the whole system. You can get Tanlac at any Thistlethwaite Drug Store, or any other good drug store. Try Tanlac Rheumatism Treatment for rheumatism.

By HAL POD It happened in a local court: , Judge-What is the .prisoner charged with, officer, ; Cop- Assault and battery on bis mother-in-law, your honor. - Judge :Are you guilty Or not guilty? Prisoner-I plead guilty to the charge, judge. Judge--I'll fine you $1.10, my man. , Prisoner But what's the ten cents for, honor? Judge-That'a the war tax on amusements. No doubt you are familiar with that essence of male humanity that wears sport shirts and carries a cane and some times is reckless enough to say such awful things as "My goodness!" or "By Jove!" Well, a few days ago one of these so-called males came Into La downtown cigar store wearing a monocle .in one or his eyes. One ot the hangers on Wanted to know why he wore a monocle in one eye only, when by all the laws of reason he should have had one for each eye. The cigar Store clerk answered the question. ; "I have1 no doubt," said he, "that he wears only one monocle so that he won't see more than he can understand." , A lively young tot of seven years, the Son of a Richmond man, was having an excellent time in the house one morning recently, though he was risking hi 3 life andilimb in some of the daring feats he was endeavoring to accomplish. First he mounted the stairs and slid down the bannister at a breakneck speed. Then he stood up on top of a round, wooden ball on the post at the foot of the bannister, hurled himself through a foot of space and grabbed the electric light chandaUer with both of his pudgy little hands. But the chandelier refused to withstand the strain and came shat tering to the floor, young America and all. At that moment that boy's father, bovine heard the crash, came rushing Into the room. IF YOU HAVE RHEUMATISM You would give almost anything to get rid of it, wouldn't you? And you know it won't get well by simply letting it run on. Rheumatism, like everything else, has a cause, and it cannot be cured until you remove that cause. But what Is the use of spending hundreds of dollars at springs and health resorts when for 50c you can obtain a box of Truslers Rheumatic Tablets from any druggist, or. 6 boxes, which will be sufficient for the most obstinate case for $2.50.

"For the love of mud, son, what tin earth are you trying to do?" "Why," replied the bedraggled son from beneath the wreckage he had wrought, "I'm playing Douglas Fairbanks.' Well, Mr. Richmond man, how are you setting along with your rlp? ..Clem Carr said he had this daylight saving law, with Its new time all figured -out right when along , came some guy , and explained It to him. Clem says he is all balled np again. " If we were only rich tfe wouldn't have to roll over every morning and shut off the alarm clock. In addition to a lot of garden truck this year Richmond citizens will also probably raise a lot of blisters. When . we were young our father told us that wine; woman and song was the ruination of many a young man. Therefore we cut out the song. Lately we have been compelled to cut out the wine and unless the supreme court hands down a decision to the contrary will probably continue to lay off . the wine.. And now if equal suffrage goes over we've got a pretty good chance of following dad's advice to the letter. About this daylight law, by gosh, It 'aint no use to fret. Just get up when the alarm goes off And let it go at that. , ,
