All rlffets of republication ox wpw kteaes herein are auw reserved. i publi oet Y. M. C. A. Campaign Citizens of Richmond are sufficiently well ac quainted with the purpose and object of the Y. M. C. A., removing all necessity of a long argu ment to establish the worth of the institution in the community. Attention is called to the campaign for mem bers to be held this week. A large membership not only means increased financial receipts but also attests to the personal interest of the com munity in the association. Many boys and men have belonged to the Y for years. Others are not enrolled because they have taken little interest in the work or have not had their attention called to it. It is confidently believed that the campaign will result in the attainment of the goal that has been set out. The Fate of the Kaiser The Independent in a current issue believes there is an intimate relation between the kaiser and his subjects as far as responsibility for the war is concerned, and that the people themselves are as guilty as their ruler. It argues that even if a king believes he rules by divine right and is not responsible to the people, the people them selves are responsible for the actions of the ruler whom they permit to sway their destinies. In an elaboration of its contention, The Inde pendent says: Every nation is really a democracy, only some of them do not know it yet. All poVer lies in the people, whether they use it or not. So it is ab surd to absolve the German people of their guilt by throwing it upon the shoulders of their rulers. We hear it said: "The Hohenzollerns were to blame for the war." Very well. But the German people were to blame for the Hohenzollerns. It is so easy to get rid of a king if you do not like him. He can be disposed of in various ways. He can be shot like Nicholas II of Russia, Carlos of Portugal and Humbert of Italy; he can be stab bed' like Julius Caesar, Henri IV of France and Alexander of Serbia; he can be blown up with a bomb like Alexander II of Russia ; he can be tried and beheaded like Charles I of England and Louis XVI of France; he can be tried and shot like Maximilian of Mexico; he can be induced to commit suicide like Abdul Aziz of Turkey; he can be poisoned like Mohammed II of Turkey and Charles III of Naples; he can be declared insane like Louis of Bavaria and George III of England; he can be imprisoned like Abdul Hamid of Tur key; he can be exiled like Napoleon Bonaparte and Manuel of Portugal; he can be persuaded to resign like Charles V of Spain and Louis Philippe of France; he can be deposed like Queen Liliuo kalani of Hawaii and the Emperor of China, U: As this is written, the curtain hiding the scenes that are being enacted in Germany has riot been lifted. We do not know if the people have repudiated their master, or, if he fearing the wrath to come, has followed his gems and valuables to Holland; there to await his fate. The argument of The Independent, however, may clarify the problem for some persons who have been in the dark regarding the relation between subject and tyrant. None of the foregoing takes into considera tion the disposition which the allied govern ments may wishrto make . of the Hohenzollern dynasty. That its sway is ended, , is certain. What will become of the men who directed its rule is only a question of a few months. Belgium Freed ' After four years of suffering under the Hun invaders, thousands of Belgians are again liv ing in a free country. Where once resounded the thud of the conqueror's heel, are now heard the joyous exclamations of a people rejoicing in the restoration of their freedom and exulting in the return of their own king. The days of Belgium's travail are over. Again she takes her place, free and independent, in the family of nations. Not the least element of joy in her deliver ance is the undevastated condition of hundreds of cities and towns and thousands of houses in the conquered districts. The threats of the French and British to apply the principles of eye for eye and tooth for tooth influenced the Germans to refrain from wrecking and destroy ing these districts as they had done further west in the Ypres region. Correspondents report that the countryside and the cities they visited showed few marks of . hostile guns and wrecking appa ratus. Of course, the sparing of this section of Bel gium cannot condone for the damage wantonly done elsewhere, neither does it argue for a change of heart in the ruthless marauders and brigands who infested the territory for "four years. It merely indicates that the criminals, as they near their own lairs, are in holy fear of the reprisals which allied guns and torches may visit upon their own people. Unidentified From the Detroit Free Presa RECENTLY, during the operations of the British Egyptian expeditionary force in Palestine, a town to the south of Beersheba was captured and in it was discovered a splendid example of mosaic pavement. The excavation of it was placed in charge of a chap lain, and while the work was proceeding some human hones were discovered. Elated at the find, the padre Immediately wired to great headquarters, saying: "Have found the bones of saint" Shortly after the reply came back. unable to trace Saint in casualty list.

Two years ago shipbuilding at Duluth and Superior was an unimportant indus try employing perhaps two score men. Even 18 months ago, there was nothing to indicate that in a few short months such gigantic strides would be made in the industry as to make Duluth the leading ship yard center of the Great Lakes. Duluth and Su perior play no small part in the great game of beating the U-boats. Almost every day, now, a new ocean going hull is launched from some one of the three shipyards at the head of the lakes. The first activity in shipbuilding here was the taking of contracts for small ocean going steamers for Swed ish and French companies. Almost before the first vessels were com pleted, the U. S. Shipping Board Em ergency Fleet corporation came into being and shipyards all over the coun try were urged to increase their cap acity that the submarines might be de feated. Ships then on the ways for foreign companies were taken over by the corporation and contracts let which assured the builders it was worth while to develop shipbuilding to a point never before dreamed. There are 5,500 men employed in the three yards at the Duluth-Superior harbor, with every indication that this army will be increased to 7,500 by winter. All yards are construct ing what is known as the Frederick stadt type of steel freighter. Because of the short length of the Welland Canal, to be passed in getting from the Lakes to the ocean, the boats are restricted to a tonnage of about 3,300 and a length of 268 feet. Their en glnea develop horsepower of from 1.200 to 1,500 according to the speed desired by the government. Recently some of the yards have been handicapped in obtaining mater for little rfuys like YOASTIES (Mads or Corn) ials and several times the Globe and Superior Shipbuilding companies have been forced to lay off crews while sup plies were awaited. The McDougall-Duluth company has four ways and soon will have five ad ditional. The Superior Shipbuilding company which is under direct control of the Emereencv Fleet rnrnnraUnn I has six ways and the Globe has three. I TM . . iiie ivicuuugau people nave a pay roll of 1,800 men, the Glove 1,200 and the Superior yard from 2,000 to 3,000 men. New Communities Spring Up. Around each shipyard new com munities have sprung up. The com panies have built hundreds of dwell ings for the new workmen but even this has not met the need and many men are kept from the district by the lack of suitable houses. Civic organi zations have been called upon to find homes and rooms for new men, but both cities are hard taxed to meet the demand. One of the best records in the United States has been made by the McDougall-Duluth Shipbuilding com pany. Only a year ago, at "Riverside" a district on the St. Louis river be tween Duluth and Morgan Park, the i uvuiv uuiieu ouues oieei cor poration's Duluth plant, there were acres of pasture land, no stores or aweinngs. only a ramshackle old notel. The hotel was the sole re- minaer of an old steel plant, once the nope of local capitalists. Years ago inia ianea ana tne plant was torn down. When the call for more ships was ueara mrougnout the country, Capt. Alex McDougall, then conduct- mo email smpDuuaing plant on Rices Point, and his son, Miller Mc Dougall. president of a cold storage wmmny, neara u. They started or ganizing a concern to turn out boats at a rate never Derore considered pos sible here. It was Just about a year ago that the first steps were taken toward building the plant, but the organizers did not dare to hope to get such re sults as have cslnm Ways were started, and other crews began building machine shops, office buildings and dwelling summer turned into fall, and fall Into winter. The mercury registered far below zero, but the wn,b. i, When the first ways were completed. ... iui 100 urst snip was laid, the comnanv not waiting and warehouses tn ho finiohwt ti.. iumjujU. nn muskrats were then buildin their winter homes, and tra f- . us, U1 tUlUft each night In the river.- February Sfith w. j " k" " " gwa UttJ. A big crew of men and horses had work ed a week on the St. Louis river to make an opening big enough to float the first ship. With bands, playing and flags waving the "Lake Portage" slid smoothly into the water. She left for France with flour when navigation opened tbl3 spring. It was this same Lake Portage that was reported sunk on Aug. 8. Then from February on this par ticular shipyard has been the scene of intense activity. As fast as one new ship was floated another was be gun. The yard is already credited with more than 30 ships, though it has been in operation considerably less than a year. Five new ways have been laid. The capacity of the yards will soon be nine ships at one time. In connection with the shipyard, one of the largest boiler works in the northwest has been erected and the boats are equipped with engines made at the plant. More than a hundred modern homes have been constructed, equipped with all conveniences, and are let to work men at low rents. A large ship build ers' band has been formed and this winter It is to appear at many con certs and entertainments. A plant police force is maintained. ft Y" Sends Oat Membership Cards to Men in Service Special membership cards for the thousand Richmond men in military service have been prepared by the Y. M. C. A. and will be sent out during the week, stated Secretary Lested W. Carlander. This complimentary membership will be good for the duration of the war, and for sixty days after the sol diers return. Any former members of the Y. M. C. A., now in service, who left the city before their previous member, ship had expired, wil have the com plimentary membership as well as the length of time due on their subscription.

Enaland, Every Soldier Realizes He Has Part to Play, Writes Local Fighter Dear Friends of Wayne County The day la done and the golden sun in all of Its splendor, is gradually sink ing from view o'er the western hori zon. O'er a teautiful valley "Some where In France," the shadows are lengthening and deepening. Far away to the east many miles can be heard the distant rumble of the huge guns, which are paving the way for Democ racy and Freedom. O'er head a Cap roni bombing plane seeks its course In a bee line. In the valley are clustered numerous hamlets, which denote a business air. The lads and lassies are bringing the herds of sheep and cattle to the barns. The fowls are making their way to the place of the night's rest The peasants are coming in from the verdant fields, which yielc them grain. Hark! the Angelus sounds from the nearby churches. All stand with bowed heads and offer a word of thanks to their God, who is all mer ciful and who. in these awful days of turmoil, contention, distraction, un easiness and pain, is guarding o'er them. From the northwest to the southeast can be seen a beautiful high way 'meandering its course through this beautiful avlley. The highway was built by Napoleon years and years ago and constructed of stone, so there would be no end to its wear. On both sides of this famous road are large trees, planted by the government and protected by same. Such beautiful oaks, ashs, elms and sycamores can be found in no other place. Years ago the armies moved over this fine piece Of stone work to their respective po sitions. So it is this evening, a long auto train can be seen winding its way down through this valley, carry ing food and supplies to the Sammies who are biting the fire and- steel in order that the Loved Ones back home will have a safe place to live and a country where no heathen horde dares set its foot to spread terror and to seign by, force in order that their passions be satisfied by brute-like methods. No great distance out from a French hamlet, on this above-mentioned hi eh wav. Pan ne Bean a la or a group of buildings, which constitutes one oi me tnousanas of hospitals which dot the entire man nt V-ranoe and England. This institution is known A a. A1 1 9 iu me worm as uamp Hospital num ber eight. As I sit here this beautiful autumnal evening in the office of a Ward, which forms part of the Hospital proper, and in which our noble brothers are con velescing and getting ready to get back in order that they may be doing their bit, I take advantage of a few spare momenta I find at mv riifmneai to think over and to write down a few tnougats that unravel themselves in my mind. How well I would like to go Into detail and mention the many things that I think would prove inter esting. I feel that It would be inter esting to speak of the ways of the French people, their homes, hamlets and villages and also their cities, the beautiful sacred edifices that make France famous. ; the cities, mansions, castles, rural scenes and the like of England, the ocean liners, the . trip across and many other things too numerous to mention, but if I were to go into detail on any one subject, I feel it would take up too much space for the amount of meaning that it would possess. Now as I will not be able to go into detail, I will in the few minutes I have to spare, just hit brief ly upon a very few subjects and in a broad way, so please excuse, the method of procedure. As I think "of the great struggle in its stupendous proportions, I lose all my power of conception. It is so hard to persuade ourselves into believing, that such a thing prevails. We all must admit that the world has been thrown into chaos and pandemonium and that darkness has been living In an age which has lasted some four years or better. But at last the in evitable begins to put in its appear ance. It has been said that light fol lows darkness and that behind each cloud the sun, is shining. How great it is to be here in France now. How optimistic. We feel since liberty and freedom has turned the tide of a heathen horde and begins to show us the light of a day when there will be rejoicing and also a world, wherein we may dwell, where our loved ones, who have not the power to shoulder arms, can feel safe and assured that force will never assist a nation desirous of satisfying passion and Just, by brute like methods, to Intervine upon our land which stands for the noblest and the best. So it is the tide has turned. With our noble president and the great allied commanders at the wheel, the ship emblematic of democracy and freedom sails on - to its destination, liberating as it moves, the multitudes from slavery and autrocracy. Is it not great to think, how it is the Sam mies with that pure strain of Amer. ican blood in them, are doing their parts, going through the necessary hardships, that any war necessitates, and joining hands with their foreign brothers in a common cause. Every Sammy realizes he has a part to play. It is as Shakespare said in his "Mer chant of Venice," 'This world is but a world, a stage upon which every man must act his part.' The boys In khaki go about their task in a manner that is encouraging. There Is that smile that is always with them. And .why it so prevalent? First, because they know that a smile goes farther toward producing a happy character, than does a frown. Second, they know they are right and that they hall from good old U. S. A. So today as the boys move on forming that Invincible barrier that is sweeping away that which has no place, in this world to live, and in so doing look forward to the day when they can go back to their respective positions and dear ones at home and feel that they have done their bit in paving a way, where on may trend the enlightened genera tions which are to rule the world In the future.

Some lots of old sugar are still being sold at the old price until the supply is exhausted. Syrups and molasses of all kinds are in big demand and very scarce as manufacturers are operating on limited supplies on sugar Jeopardizing their output seriously. New sorghum molasses is in big demand and selling at an extremely high price. . Rice Of any kind is almost impossible to secure as the government has commandeered all the early crop of new rice.
