RULES FOR GASHING U. S, TRADING STAMPS
For the information of owners of
war savings stamps of the 191S series, due Jan. 1, the local postmaster has announced the manner in which the stamps may be cashed. Following are the things to be borne in mind: Registered stamps can only be cashed at the postoffice where they are registered. Cash on demand 'will only be given to stamp owners who have $25 worth or less. Holders of registered stamps in amounts- of $30 or more will be given a receipt by the postoflice when the stamps are presented. The stamps will then be sent by the postoffice to the Indianapolis depository from which point the 6tamp owner will be sent a check covering the amount of the stamps cashed. Applications of this kind will be received at the postoffice at any time, preferably as soon as Dossible.
Unregistered stamps are being
cashed by some of the local banks. Must Go In Person Whether application for payment is made by stamp owners at the postoffice or bank, the original owner whose name appears on the card to which the stamps are attached must go in person for the transaction. This ruling includes children old enough
to sign their names. In cases of infirmity, decease of owners, or where stamps are registered in postoffices other than Richmond, application for redemption of stamps can be made on proper forms at the local postoffice. Owners are cautioned not to sign, date, erase or mark a stamp certificate in any manner before presenting it at the postoffice or bank.

The stfll had been carefully protected with a brick retaining wall. The first law pensioning Civil war veterans for disability, was enacted Jnlv 14, 1S62.
XVIII-THE ULTIMATUM When there was complete certainty that the sea separated M. Poincare and myself from Russia, and after all the murderous and maddened incitement already noted, the ultimatum was placed in the hands of the Serbian government. It is necessary to recall
here its outrageous terms, written in
blood not ink, which dishonor for all
time both the German accomplices and the Austrian princiual actors who had a part in this heinous crime against humanity. A cry of anger on the day after the murder; an unthinking popular manifestation; arrests, even unjustifed ones; measures, even brutal in character all these might have been
understood, provided that, when the truth came out, self-control returned. But, in this case, twenty-five days were allowed to elopse! Were they, at least, utilized for making an investigation? Yes, what were its results? It becomes evWent that there was o question of finding the guilty parties themselves; what was desired was to clear up the political situation and to learn whether the Serbian government was responsible, even though only morally, for the crime committed. Austria had sent one of her agents. She trusted him. Here is the answer given by that agent on July 13 ten days before the ultimatum: "Sarajevo, July 13, 1914. "Herr Von Welsner, at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Vienna: "There is no proof of connivance
on the part of the Serbian government, of its participation in the crime or In preparation. There Is even no reason
for suspecting It. On the contrary,
there are indications which cause the setting aside of such suppositions."
But what mattered the investigation
from the moment that it did not lead to the shame of the Serbian government?
The only reason for which the invest!
gation had been ordered was to show
that government's responsibility. From the moment that this end could not be
attained war was necessary.
Austria is thoroughly convinced of
the historical lie upon which she Is
staking her honor. But, the trembling
hand of her old emperor is gripped
by the firmer hand of the German em
peror. The poisoned document des
tined to bring woe to the whole world
is drawn up. Demands In Ultimatum
Is it necessary to recall the clauses of that document? Here is a summary
of it:
The Serbian government was to pub
lish in its Official Gazette of July 26
and proclaim in an order of the day addressed by the king to the army a condemnation of Serbian propaganda
in Austria-Hungary, and inform the entire population of the country that, from that moment, the severest possible measures would be taken, against persons guilty of similar acts. In addition ,the Serbian government was also to: 1. Suppress all publications Inciting contempt or dismemberment of Austria-Hungary. 2. Disband all associations devoted to anti-Austrian propaganda. 3. Discharge from teaching positions all those fomenting such prop
aganda ,and deprive them of means for giving instruction. 4. Dismiss all officers and officials guilty of such propaganda, the names of these to be supplied by Austria to the Serbian government. 5. Accept co-operation on Serbian soil of Austrian government officials in the surveillance of conspiracy against the integrity of the Austro-
Hungarlan monarchy. C. Accept co-operation of Austrian government officials in the proceedings instituted against those implicated in the plot of June 28 etc., etc. 'It was with good reason that Sir Edward Grey said: "This is the most outrageous document ever circulated in history."
What followed is well known: The Serbian government accepted everything except the co-operation of Aus
trian officials in the administrative in
vestigation and in the judicial invest!
gation and it was shown later on that it eventually acquiesced even on that point. It accepted everything that was not incompatible with honor, everything that did not destroy the hlstori cal structure built up by its heroes, everything that was not equivalent to staining its banners with undying shame, which is far worse than the
often immortal epitaph, inscribed on the tombs of nations I On the evening of the day when the answer of Serbia was given a variety of expressions appeared on the faces of men, according to differences in geography and in the various foreign offices. Neutral diplomats have recorded that, at Berlin, men well known in diplomacy and politics went about with wrathful countenances for what had happened meant peace! But wherever there was a man living, a mind capable of reasoning, an atom of civiliza
tion and justice, there was a sigh of relief for there was to be no war!
But what then? "How is it possible that newspapers
can be allowed at such a moment to
publish false news? The Austrian minister at Belgrade left his post two hours after receiving this conciliatory
reply? Impossible!" Such were the exclamations of surprise from the man in the street in almost every capital of Europe when he read in the papers that piece of news, which, nevertheless, was true. The Austrian minister had left his post! Perhaps he had gone before receiving the answer, perhaps before
delivering the ultimatum. The Min
ister had sealed up his archives. Some weeks back he had received the order to depart, no matter what the attitude
of the Serbian government might be
In the course of the next chapters we shall go over the useless negotiations.
the appeals to a deaf sense of justice,
the suggestions of compromise, the
encounter between moderation and
bestiality.
And that was how and why millions
of . men perished! Because, on .the throne of Austria, there was an old man who was worn out intellectually, and on the throne of Germany a cavalier who, valiant on days of parade, naturally enough abandoned his sol
diers., on the day of danger and threw his sword into the ditch!
Thus it -Js that evidence piles up
demonstrating that the German emperor knew, as early as the beginning of July, the substance of the ultimatum
to Serbia, that he assembled about
him. having summoned them for this
express purpose, diplomats and army leaders, that he prevented any conciliatory thought from seeing the light. Is it possible to maintain, as a final hypothesis advanced in hi defence by supreme impartiality, that the emperor did not realize that he was going so far; that he merely wished to strike a resounding blow of his fist upon the table which would, make the inkstand
jump but would not hurl lightning upon
tne worm; mat ne was misunderstood,
badly served, pushed forward? But
that alone would be serious enough.
At a time of such crisis imprudence tan not lead simply to involuntary homicide. Moreover, it is not even
true. The emperor knew about every
thing. He know that war was coming, that blood would flow. And here is a crushing document, provided by the Austrian revolution. The Austrian Red Book now speaks. I might quote several dispatches therein, but I shall confine myself to the first, under date of July 5, 1914. It deals with a dispatch from 'Count Szozyeny to Count Berchtold Count Szogyeny, it will be recalled, was the
Austrian ambassador at Berlin: "Telegram No. 237. Berlin, July 5, 1914. "After I had informed Emperor William that I had an autograph letter to deliver to him from his apostolic majesty the emperor and king, brought to me today by Count Hoyos, I received from his majesty the German emporer an invitation to lunch today at noon at the New Palace. "I delivered to his majesty the autograpr letter and the annexed memoran
dum. "The emperor read the two documents in my presence1 with the closest attention. "At once the emperor assured me
that he expected serious action on our part with regard to Serbia, and that he must admit that, having read the
explanation of the situation given by
our august sovereign, he was com
pelled to take into consideration the possibility of serious European complications, and that, consequently, he did not wish to give me any definite answer before having consulted regarding the matter with the chancellor of the empire. "After lunch, in view of the fact that I still insisted earnestly on the seriousness of the situation, his majes
ty authorized me to state to our august sovereign that, in such an event, we might also count on the full support of Germany. As he had already told me, the emperor was obliged first to hear the opinion of the chancellor of the em
pire, but he felt no doubt that Herr von Bethmann would concur fully in his opinion. "This would be particularly true with regard to our action toward Serbia. In his opinion (that of the Emperor William) it was not necessary
to postpone this action. Russia's atti
tude would be hostile in any event, but she had prepared for this for years,
and, even if it should come to a war
between Austria-Hungary and Russia, we might rest assured that Germany,
with her accustomed fidelity to tne al
liance, would stand by our side. Russia, moreover, given the present state
of affairs, is not ready for war jrnd
would certainly hesitate greatly before
having recourse to arms. Notwlth
standing this, Bhe would incite the
other powers of the Triple Entente against us and would add fuel to the
flames in the Balkans.
"He understood quite well that it
would be painful to his imperial and
royal majesty, in view of his well-
known love of peace, to invade Serbia, but if we had really recognized the necessity of warlike action against
Serbia, he (the Emperor vwlliam)
would regret it if we should allow the present moment, which is so favorable
to us, to pass without taking advantage
of It. . . . j "The Emperor William intends to go to Kiel tomorrow and depart from there on his trip to the northern countries, but, after doing so, hi majesty will confer with the chancellor of the empire on the matter in question, for which purpose he has summoned the chancellor from Hohenfinow for this evening at the New Palace. "In any event, I shall find occasion, in the course of tomorrow, to talk with the chancellor of the empire." Another telegram: "Count Szogyeny to Count Berchtold. "Eerlin, July 12, 1914. "Report No. 60 P. Subject: Attitude of Germany in the present Serbian Crisis. "To His Excellency Count Berchtold: "As your excellency has been informed by me by telegraph during the last few days, and by the impressions
gathered here by Count Hoyos person
ally, not only His Majesty Emperor
William and the other persons in high
governmental positions here remain
firm and faithful toward the alliance
backing up the monarchy (Austria), but they also advise the latter most
insistently not to allow the present opportunity to slip away, but to act very
energetically against berDia ana ao
away once for all with that nest of
conspirators, leaving entirely to us
the choice of such means as we may
consider suitable." . . .
These two telegrams, especially that of July 5, are a faithful reproduction,
made by a privileged auditor of Emperor William, the Austrian ambassa
dor at Berlin, of the thoughts of thei emperor. Thus, on July 5. the emperor knew. Thus, on July 5, he encouraged Austria, incited her, spurred her on to go to the limit. At that time the ultimatum to Serbia had not yet been
drafted; only the substantial idea destined to be embodied therein had been decided upon. This was known to the emperor. At first he found it so serious that he did not wish to give a reply until he had seen his chancellor concerning whom, however, he forthwith remarked that he was sure of the docility of the latter's opinion. And then, without even waiting for the chancellor to arrive, he offered his support to the crime. Whither are matters tending? The emperor knows full well. And he says whither they are tending: "To war!" To a general war? Yes and at what an auspicious moment! Oh, blessed and opportune moment! Russia is hostile, but unprepared. Nevertheless, he Is not unaware of the system of alliances, of the inter-relation among na-
Ih Richmond Churches .j Unanimous decision to allow their
pastor to lead a two weeks revival meeting during the latter part of the
month at a country charge near Laporte, Ind., was reached at the meeting of the official board of the First Christian church which was held in the church Monday night. The decision came as the result of a request from a layman who has been conducting the services at this country church which has no pastor. The effort toward a revival, it is thought, will add enough new members to the church
roll thai a full-time pastor can be se
cured. The board also decided that the annual congregational meeting, to be held Thursday, Jan. 11, at 7:30 o'clock in the evening, would be purely a business meeting this year. Contrary to the usual custom, there will not be a basket supper in connection with the big meeting of the year. That Mr. and Mrs. Loran G. Jones,
who are to help in the conduct of the revival meetings to be started at the First M. E. church next Sunday will
live in the parsonage during the cam
paign was the decision of the council of the church which met Monday night. Mr. Jones will lead the singing while Mrs. Jones will take charge of the women's work. Dr. Somerville
Light will preach at the Thursday
njgnt service this week which Is the final big meeting before the opening of the campaign. The meeting which will start at 7:30 o'clock will also be featured by an old-fashioned love-feast to be enjoyed by the membership of
tne congregation.
a good time is in store for all that at
tend the meeting. Refreshments will be served after the installation.
The First English Lutheran church, the Second English Lutheran church and St. Paul's Lutheran church are uniting their services thi3 week. Meetings were held at the Second English Lutheran church Sunday and Monday. Rev. F. A. Dressel was in charge on Monday night, while the Rev. J. P. Miller led the services on Sunday night. Tuesday and Wednesday night services will be held in St. Paul's Lutheran church at 7:30 o'clock with Rev. Dressel in charge Tuesday night. Rev. C. Raymond Isley will preach Wednesday night. Thursday and Friday night at 7:30 o'clock services will be held at the First English Lutheran church, Rev. J. P. Miller conducting the services.
One new member wa3 taken Into the
Third M. E. church when it began its revival services Monday night. "How
-May I Know That I'm a Christian," was the subject of a sermon by the Rev. E. L. Gates. Services are to be held every night, with the exception of Saturday night, for about three weeks. Eighteen members of the church are taking a church census of the city at the present time.
Delegates from Newcastle. Cam
bridge City and Connersville will attend the installation of officers of the B. Y. P. U. of the First Baptist church

CITIZENS ENJOY T , OPEN HOUSE FROM?
Open house at the Y. M. C. A. New Year's day was a complete success. The boys taking part in the program performed well under the direction of Sidney Peters, physical director of the Y. About 350 persoj 3 witnessed the exhibition and they showed very mub enthusiasm in regard to the work being done by the physical educational department of the local association. The volly ball game by teams captained by Dr. Gentle and Turner Hadley of the Business Men's class was won after a hard fought tustle, by Hadley's team. Gentle's team was leading by a comfortable lead until the light? were burned out at 'the light plant.

tions due to them, of the fact that a flame will become a conflagration. On the contrary but he hopes that a conflagration will- burth forth. He summoned his counsellors in order to feed the flames of this conflagration and spread it, rather than for any other reason. One can not but think of what that conference which, in his memoirs, he dared deny ever took place might have been; that conference in which he spoke, before men accustomed to bow the knee, after he was already inspired with the idea of war. No matter what may happen, no matter what political complications may ensue, the fact remains that war was caused on that fifth day of July in 1914. And that very man, who after the carnage, after millions of unfortunates have perished, after he hardly
dares to look up the accusing earth for fear of seeing a tomb rise up before
his eyes, cries out, a prey to belated remorse or religious terror: "My God, I did not will this!"
Mothers of all countries, you hear
what he says: he did not wil lthls!
He did not will it on the fifth of July!
