"Why America Entered the War" was the topic of the fourth war lecture delivered by J. II. Bentley Thursday morning. k'Traditions in America," he . said, "which are founded on the inground Bense of Justice and right conditions under which nations may live, always have stood for three groat principles: first, that nations have the right to determine their own laws and government as the Monroe doctrine maintains; second that the seas are to be free; and third for arbitration." ' : "Our disputes with England have Involved no loss pt life. A shipload of meat, which spoiled while English shippers were holding the merchandise Interned, might cause a painful wrangling In the merchant's pocketbook, but that can be settled ten years later If necessary," said Mr. Bentley. A matter that cannot be settled in Buch a way, however, Is the blood loss of lives which have been sacrificed, when Germany steadily has refused to arbitrate any matter with us, but at all times has kept her hands free for war. "Concerning the freedom of the seas International law provides that a submarine has . a perfect right to sink battleships without warning, but it never has been given tho right to sink a merchant ship unless It has first been searched for contraband and then has provided for the safety of the crew. "Even though the T.usltanla had been filled to the guards with war munitions, which I do not believe It was," said Mr. Bentley, "those people had a perfect right to sail from one end of the sea to the other, and no submarine ever had a right to sink that ship without first providing for every man, woman and child who was oa board. "Some one came out with the statement to the effect that if America had been hemmed in on all sides, as Germany made out that she was, that we would have done somewhat the same thing. I should like to have shown that reporter a few pages of American history," continued" Mr. Bentley. "At one time of the Civil War. when the southerners were blockaded on every side and starving, one ship under a southern commander broke loose and went ranging up and down the coast sinking one northern ship after another, but not one, not one, in the whole history ever was sunk without first saving the crew, and more than that, history even shows that not once but several times, ships were saved because the Confederates had no means of providing for the crews. The South lost the war, but they did not lose their honor, and today the Southerners are everywhere held as gentlemen cf the first water. "As for arbitration, America Is the first nation ever to use and abide by arbitration," stat&d Mr. Bentley. "We Invented arbitration," he said. "Indeed, in one sense of the word, our whole constitution Is one largo arbitration treaty between those first thirteen little Independent nations. The unity of America is the miracle of ar bit rat ion, the first tiie world ever has known." Service Club Is to Be Opened in New York I Hy Associated Pres NEW YORK, Aug. 22. A service club for the thousands of soldiers and seamen who frequent Riverside drive and park will be opened Sept 20, it was announced today by the NewYork war camp community service. The club will be housed In a building forty feet by eighty feet north of the N'inety- sixth street entrance. The club will serve as a distributing center and send the men to various other clubs and to homes that can accommodate them with meals and beds and entertainments.

Aug. 22 A cane drive, the latest of tho many movements started for the aid of wounded and convalescent soldiers, has resulted In hundreds of canes and walking sticks being collected at various asreneies throughout the city. Walter H. Mcllroy, assistant field director of the American Red Cross, recently started tho drive in a small way but the news spread with such good results that soon he had collected hundreds of walking sticks. William 11. Edwards, collector of internal revenue in the Wall Street district contributed a collection ho had been many years gathering.

Schumann Players 'Please Audience With Program of Folk Music

The concert given by the Schumann Quintet Wednesday night, was made up ' wholly of heart-songs and folk music, rather than more elaborate symphonies and "art for art's sake" compositions. The great wealth of shaded tone qualities and rich harmonies through the simple melodies proved that the company were artists of the greatest ability. After the first number, an Italian group, which was executed with the sunny spirit and swinging rhythm of the true Latin type, the company responded with "Cavalierla Rusticana " Miss Wynn. whose delightful stage manner seemed to make all the audience feel she was their personal friend sang two groups of songs, tfcre first Including "Love Hath Wings," "A Bowl of Roses" and "What's In the Aid Today," and the second, "At Dawning" and "Good Morning Brother Sunshine." Her encores Included "The Sunshine of Your Smile." which was accompanied by the 'cello; two bird songs which were favorites with the children. "The Owl," and "The Cuckoo," and finally, "If No One Ever Marries Me." For Russian music, the company played the Prelude In C Sharp by Rachmaninoff interpreting the struggling "Russian soul of today. Although the Prelude Is a composition which requires an orchestra to bring out Its deep harmonies In an open auditorium, the Quintet played with such rich volume that the lack was almost unnoticed. As an encore, to contrast the German type with the deep Russian music the Quintet played Mendelssohn's Minuet. For solo numbers, Leon Llchtenfeld the 'celloist, gave "An Elegy" by Massenet, which was in vivid contrast to the spirited "French Village Song" by Popper, and the dreamy "Traumerai," which was requested as an encore. Two movements from Greig's Peer Gynt and the "Venetian Love Song" by Nevin were given by the company At the Chautauqua HEARD ON THE GROUNDS. "I wouldn't mind having more substitutes If they turned out like Roy L. Smith, would you?" "Reserved seats! Why, there ain't no such animal any more for common folks. It's like wheat bread and lemonade, 'Gone but not forgotten,." "Everybody seems to be having a bad time at night, these days. Older campers cmplain that young folks keep them awake singing and laughing until two o'clock, and the young campers complain that the older ones won't let them catch up In their sleep the next night by sitting out on their porches and gossiping until midnight." "Anyway, the Washington theatre "Going down! My dear Elizabeth, tent for the midnight frolics." "Oh-h-h, I neer-never can forget that per-r-rfectly w-w-onderful violinist, and the way he played "The Bee" by Bohm when he went faster and faster, and you fairly heard rushing brooklets and fairy wings In that soft harmony of whirring rythm, oh-h-h- - -! ! ! " "What ever is that girl raving about now?" Mother. "Aw, some long haired fellow played the Fl Fo Fum and I guess it sort of got on her nerves. "Little Brother. "Say Clara, you know the Hawaiians begin at . seven o'clock tonight, so what time are you going down to the big tent?" also as to Investment in fixed capital. I came here at ten o'clock this morning and brought enough for dinner and supper so I could keep this seat, and you don't think I am going to move now, do you? I should say not!"

upon request, unusual and striking combinations of harmonies being brought out by the 'celloist. But one of the most enjoyed portions of the program was the solo portion devoted to the seventeen-year-old violinist, Israel Berger. His first number, "The Indian Lament." showed unusual great ability In his clear, high harmonies which he played on two strings, while his second number, ft "Spanish Dance," was as greatly ap

preciated as the first time In his Tues-! day afternon program. His encore, "The Bee" by Bohm, was so greatly applauded that it was repeated. Mr. Berger only has been etudylg violin for five and half years, and merely carried his work as supplimentary to his high school work, which he finished when sixteen last year Since then he has been doing solo work with the Chicago Symphany Orchestra. The last number on the program was an arrangement from Faust, and the concert ended with the Quintet leading the audience In The Star Spangled Banner. Soldier and Workmen Form Novel 4 -Minute Talk at Chautauqua A novel four-minute speech was given at the Chautauqua Wednesday evening. After a few preliminary remarks by Rutherford B. Jones, who emphasized that It is the spirit of military co-operation whether in the army ok in the labor situation that will win the war, a soldier and a workman were Introduced from opposite sides of the stage. When the applause died down, the soldier spoke to the workman assuring him that everyone needed and respected the "man behind the man behind the gun." Rain Fails to Interfere with the Chautauqua In spite of the rain Wednesday morning, 400 single admission tickets to the Chautauqua were sold and the crowd was estimated at 2,800. Most of the tents were perfectly dry even on the floors, and those few tents which were so situated that the water did come In around the edges were soon dried off. Even the grass did not seem muddy or wet by evening and all campers survived their first real thunder shower with none being the worse for wear. QUEBEC BRIDGE PASSES TEST. QUEBEC, Aug. 22 The famous Quebec bridge over the St Lawrence river, which collapsed twice during the course of construction, passed its final test yesterday when two trains weighting approximately 14,000,000 pounds were run out on the central span simultaneously.

Million Belgian Babies in Need of Relief

Major Osterreick, chief of the Belglum Military Mission in America has written Secretary Ullman in regard to the great need for Belgium relief funds. He says: "In regard to the Belgium Babies I may say that there are more than 2,000,000 Belgium children under fitteen years of age. Of these more than one-half are in need and are receiving such help as can be given by various organizations. Unfortunately, the various charitable organizations of which the Queen of Belgium Is patroness, have very little money, and It is for this reason that special appeal is made at this time to secure funds through the sale of the Queen's Sou

No Union Blacksmith Quit Work for Strike None of the men who walked out at the Vulcan Springs company "was a member of Local Union 373 International Brotherhood of Blacksmiths. Officials of this union said Thursday there would be no strike or walk-out of Its members during the period of the war. The men who left the employ of the Vulcan Springs company were unorganized, the labor leaders said. J. A. Baker, president of the local union, authorized this statement today.

MEMBER OF WOMAN'S PARTY IS SPEAKER Miss Doris Stevens of New York, who represented the Woman Suffrage Party at tha Chautauqua Thursday, afternoon was one of the sixteen women held In the Occoquan prison last year, Illegally, as It was decided by court afterwards, when President Wilson had urged their release and granted their pardon. She is the legislative chairman of the National Woman's Party and her subject was urging the immediate passage of the national suffrage amendment. "It seems inconceivable that at a time when the whole world is fighting for self government, the women of America would have to plead for their rights," said Miss Stevens, "but since that is true, we are pleading, and shall continue to plead until our goal is reached." Thursday Is the Biggest Day at the Chautauqua All prospects are that Thursday will be one of the biggest days of the Chautauqua, since the noted Irvin Cobb is popular with every one. Soldiers of the training camp detachment of Richmond will be entertained at a picnic at the Glen, at which Mr. Cobb is to speak, and be the guest of honor. And after the picnic, the soldiers are to occupy the center section of the auditorium which will be reserved for them. Hawaiian singers will begin their first evening entertainment at 7:00 instead of 7:30, according to an announcement, and all children who wish seats are urged to remember that the section which is reserved for soldiers will have to be vacated by them.

RICHMOND WOMAN GIVES PROGRAM

Richmond's second contribution to the Chautauqua platform was made Wednesday evening when Mrs. Catherine A. Logan of North Thirteenth street presented a whistling prelude to the evening's entertainment. Her simple, unaffected manner did much to add to the charm of her entertainment, and the audience received her with enthusiastic applause. . , Her first number, "Mighty Like a Rose," accompanied by the Edison, was excedingly bird-like, being almoBt an exact imitation of a canary. To each whipping a child gets "for its own good," it gets ten to relieve the grouch of a brute. The right to vote carries with it the rduty to vote. Register by Oct. 7.
