Remember, the store that's offering the best bargains in Chesterfield county is going to give awav a $4no n?> right piano absolutely free this winter. This is everybody's race. If you are not in, get in. It is raid that the ladies who are canvassing with the "service cards" are not meeting with the encouragement they should. This condition, no doubt, is due to a misunderstanding of what the cards mean. It is expected that our country will need the service of every man, woman and child before the war is won. The purpose of these cards is to register every woman who is willing to serve her country in any capacity. To sign this card does not mean that you will be railed from home unless you volunteer to do so. If every community is organized there will be plenty of work to do right at home. Why wait until our boys are suffering for what you can do before you begin. Rigtit now is the time to sign your service card and be prepared to do what you can V) help win the war.

Hohen- | zollern frightfulness cheated him of that, but the fates have decreed he 1 shall play the role anyhow. Pope Benedict has probably opened the way for the president to start the drive which will end in peace?al- i though it may be months or years away. The pope's proposal turns out to be a document similar to the presilent's "peace without victory speech." Denounced at first as pro-German, it will eventually be found fatal to Berlin's aspirations. Whether the pope's plea was conceived by him or some other subtle brain in the Vatican or at Vienna? both schools of the profoundest diplomacy?it is the most dangerous t>- :? -- " ui i IU39IUHIHID since me war begun. i The pope's idea is related to the I reichstag revolt engineered by the South-Gernuin Catholic party against the Prussian war aims, which brought on the recent abortive political crisis at Berlin. The pope's letter invites President Wilson to widen this split by a suitable reply. Master of diplomacy and language, Wilson, of course, will seize the opportunity. He will multe counter proposals aimed at Prussia, not Germany. If Prussia answers unfavorably the whole Berlin peace blulT will be exposed and South Germany and Austria will be shown they are lighting for Prussian aggrandizement alone. On the other hand, if Prussia agrees to Wilson's proposals, the kaiser will have lost the war and German militarism will be on its death bed. The allies realize Wilson has the key, and that they must yield him leadership and sacrifice territorial or commercial ambitions. Lloyd-George has said the only issue is the vietorv of - . ?V J thereby waiving the whole question of return of the German colonies, Mesopotamia or indemnity. This is exactly Wilson's position. America is interested in questions of territory and indemnity?only as these things may be means of destroying German autocracy. If lhat can be accomplished without "annextion or indemnity" or by any other formula, the president is willing to do it that way. Consequently it is not difficult to forecast the president's reply to the pope. It will be entirely favorable with a big if planted exactly where the pope expected it, and prepared a place for it. In the language of the street, the president's reply will pass the buck to Prussia?the alternative of peace or continued war. If she elects war she will also face dissension in South Germany and Austria and trouble at home. The president will emphasize the point in the pope's letter above all things repujrnant to Prussia?that is the proposal for disarmament. That the Berlin military gang will resist to the last'. President Wilson will say that it is the most important, and that if Prussia will give sufficient guaranty or pledge of irood *?...? ? *' .... pvnic HUHUliation can begin on the understanding that disarmament is agreed to. That pledge will be the evacuation of Belgium. ADAMSON CHARACTERIZES PACIFISTS AS FRIENDS OF KAISER, HURTFUL TO U. S. Washington, Aug. 18.?Declaring that pacifist agitation in this country now is of more value to the kaiser than if the agitators were in the Cermiui army. Representative Adamson today returned to an East Orange, N. J., pacifist a circular the letter had sent urging the Georgian representative to support Senator LaFollette's peace resolution. Representative Adamson, in returning the circular, wrote: "This circular is respectfully returned with the assurance that the president no doubt will discover the very first indication ofa desire on the part of the kaiser to qui? lighting and make peace. The pacifiists, by meddling, brought this war upon us because they made the kaiser believe that the American people would not support the president's intentions. 'I'U- * f!rst chesterfield county j man ordered to france] Dr. R. L/ Gardner, of Chesterfield, who volunteered sometime ago, and received a commission as First Lieut, n the Medical Officers' Reserve Corps, received a telegram from the War Department, ordering him to go at once to an American port and embark for France, and upon his arrival there to report in person to Gen.

'I'l,.. it... - c .U . mc juh. iii.sis art* now prolonging the j war and making it more bloody and expensive by nagging the president and the administration about peace when they ought to be preparing to whip the kaiser.
