The committe includes H. A. 1)111. George Seldel and J. T. Giles.

The Coliseum has been considered for a dormitory, but there is opposition, to the Idea on the grounds that there would be no place for public meetings. . .... ' The committee is considering the housing and drill grounds question with the view of obtaining a permanent camp instead of a camp for only Iwo months.

"I came to the conclusion," the food administrator said, "that the increase was absolutely, necessary if the companies were to exist in business.

SOCIALISM IS "NEXT III ORDER" SAYS OEDS

. Eugene V. Debs, four times a candidate for president of the United States on the Socialist ticket, and one of the leaders of the party, addressed a well attended meeting of Richmond Socialists Tuesday night on "Socialism and Democracy." The meeting was held in a hall over the King Printery at 625 Main street. r. ' Debs discussed the principles of the Socialistic movement and the progress of the party along general lines. He told of the purposes off the party, of what it had accomplished in the past, and what it expected to accomplish in the future. 1 Characterizing as "stupid and silly" the accusation that Socialists were disloyal and pro-German, Mr. Debs said: "There . is not a Socialist in the world who is not an enemy of the kaiser, who represents everything we are opposed to and everything we are banded together to destroy." "Socialism and Democracy are synonomous terms," the, speaker said. "In the control of large industries such as railroads and munition plants the United States government has taken a step toward the accomplishment of our purpose. The old order of society can survive but little longer. Socialism is next in order. The swelling minority against us, the rapid growth of our own party, sounds warning of the impending change. Soon that minority against our movement will become a majority in our favor and then will come the co-operative commonwealth."

Conscientious Giver ' Couldn't Tell a Lie

There are' conscientious givers as well as conscientious objectors. A colored woman, approached by a team of Red Cross war fund solicitors Wednesday, asked how much she was supposed to give. "Give as much as your conscience dictates, auntie," they told her, "just as much as you feel you should give." "Well," she answered, "there ain't no use my givin' one dollar when ah knows ah can give two, 'cause the Lord knows everything we do. Mah conscience wouldn't let me do it." So she gave two dollars.
