Alexandria has ever regarded the 22nd

Alexandria was his city. Born with a
great destiny, the spirit of liberty slum-
bered in his breast in Colonial DAYS as
he walked our streets and passed to and
from Mount Vernon. In The lulness OF
time, when conflict with the mother

and his contemporaries conceived in

o. CAREFULLY study of the decision
mace by the U. S. Supreme Court Mon
day. declaring that railroads may not
discriminate in favor OF themselves as
dealers in coal and other commodities
which they transport, has convinced
members oICongress aad the admins
tration that an inevitable result will be
absolute prohibition of dealings such
as the railroads are now engaged in. 1t
is also obvious that, whatever the inn
mediate effect OF the decision on the rail-
roads now acting both as shippers and
carriers, the supreme Court has clearly
indicated that legislation TO prevent the
roads from dealing 10 and transportatlng
commodities would be upheld by the
court, and could be effectively enforced.
This is feature of the decision that is
of great interest to Congress, inasmuch
as it has opened the way for such legis-
iation Immediately after the full evils OF
the present system have been revealed
bp the proposed investigation of the
coal. carrying roads. 1t is now almost
certain that the next legislative step
toward the restriction of the railroads
will be the introduction OF measures TO
prevent them from dealing in the CON-
modities along their lines or comming-
ling the functions of shipper and carrier
under one management. Immediate ef-
feet of the decision upon the railroads
and especially the coal-carrying roads,
it is believed, will be to force them out
of the selling business. While the de-
cision may not undo all of the evil that
has been accomplished it will prevent
further encroachments by the roads upon
the province of the coal operators and
will liberaie the latter from domination
of the railroads. Where the railroads
own aud operate mines. as in Pennbyl-
vania aud West Virginia, legislation

DEALS WITH CONDITIONS
IN TURKISH MISSIONS

The missionaries have administered
relief funds sent from the United
States. England and Germany, and
the regular work has gone on with
but little permanent interruption. The
government has thrown many OBJ
stacles in the way of missionary trav-
ell. Evidently orders have been sent
out into the districts from CONSTANT
nople to prevent the missionaries
from travelling in the country
The troubles of the government in
Arabia, calling out the reserves and
increasing the taxes. have created un-
rest among all classes. Emigration
of Armenians to the United States
is direct hindrance to the work, in
that many of the trained teachers and
Christian workers are among the num-
Der.

TREATIES ARE WEAK
in SOME DIRECTIONS

Washington, Dec 30-It is probable
that steps will soon be taken by the
department of state to secure a re-
vision and remodeling of the existing
extradition treaties with France and
Germany. Recent events have drawn
attention to some very serious de-
fects in the old conventions and it
is feared that before long France and
Germany will become Ravens of
refuge for a certain class of Ameri-
can criminals.
Within the past fortnight the chief
of police of Hoboken cabled a request
to the Paris municipal authorities to
arrest and return to the United States
a man named Sasola, on the charge
of grand larceny. The French authori-
ties were surprised at this request,
coming not through the American en-
bassy but from quarter officially un-
known to the French government.

situation in the western Turkey mis-
sion. which includes Constantinople,
has been favorable. While there has
been no little terrorizing in the Salcri-
co field of the European Turkey mis-
sion, and spirit of revolution in parts
of Bulgaria, fear of war or of a gen
eral massacre of the Christians has
not been acute. A significant event of
the year was the gift of 200 franc gold
from Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria,
for repairs upon the mission church
at Sofia.
"The greatest unrest has been in
the Vanand and Bitlis fields, eastern
Turkey" the report says, where
bands of revoIutionists organizing in
Russia have attacked Turkish villages
and clashed with Turkish troops. Pow
erty and suffering in these two sta
tions, especially, have been severe.

from justice in New York upon the
cabled request of the New York chief
of police, but they do not attempt to
arrest them unless the American en-
bassy itself makes the request. So
likewise the Partisan authorities turn
ed to the American embassy and find
ing that no regular application had
been made for Salola's extradition,
placed him at liberty. 1t happened
that in the course of the proceedings
it was discovered by the French au-
thorities that there was absolutely no
provision in the extradition treaty for
the surrender of a person charged
with grand larceny. The treaty it
self is of ancient date, having been
made in 1S43. and though it was made
amended in 1915 and again in 1858,
the omission was never supplied. The
treaty with Prussia and the German
states, made in 1852. likewise fails
to include grand larceny as an extra
ditable crime

Mouth and Eyes Covered With crusts

Cure by Cuticura.
when my little boy was six months
old, he had eczema. The sores extend
ed so quickly over the whole body
that we at once called in the doctor.
We then went to another doctor,
but he could not help him, and in our
despair we went to a third one. Mat
ters became so bad that he had regu-
lar holes in his cheeks large enough
to put a finger into. The food had to
be given with a spoon, for his mouth
was covered with crusts as thick as
a finger, and whenever he opened the
mouth they began to bleed and sup
pirate, as did also his eyes. Hands,
arms, chest, and back, in short the
whole body was covered over and
over. We had no rest by day or night.
Whenever he was laid in his bed, we
had to pin his hands down; otherwise
he would scratch his face and make an
open sore. 1 think his face must have
itched most fearfully.
I'VE finally thought nothing could
help, and 1 had made up my mind to
send my wife with the child to Eu-
rope, hoping that the sea air might
cure him, otherwise he was to be put
under good medical care there. But,
Lord be blessed, matters came differ
emily, and we soon saw miracle. A
friend of ours spoke about Cuticura.
We made trial with Cuticura Soap,
Ointment and Resolvent, and within
ten days Or two weeks we noticed a
decided improvement. Just as quickly
as the sickness had appeared it also
began to disappear, and within ten
weeks the child was absolutely well,
