has given formal notice that it will

The Washington Southern regards
the decisions OF the commission as an

ditch.
The Richmond Fredericksburg and

for 3 cent rate in the fall, notwith-

EngIand,s Reserve Force.

London, July "a veterans re-
serve force, F" embracing $50, 00C
men between the ages of 80 and 50,
all of whom have seen military service,
is the latest plan Of Secretary OF War
Haldane, who announced today that
this addition to the military strength
OF the nation would be effected within
the six months.
The idea Of the reserve force origna-
ted with st. Lee Strachey, a magazine
editor, and was Immediately adopted
by Haldane. TO test the temper of the
people, an appeal was issued to the
county OF Surrey for all physically fit
men," between the stated ages, who
had seen service in the volunteers,
yeomanry or territorials, to COM
municate with the War Office. From
this small county there we're 1900 re-
sponses. These men were Immediately
brought together and an inspection
made Secretary Haldane was sur
prised at the result. He says there were
scarcely a dozen out of the 1900 who
did not measure up to the military re-
quircments. Other counties are as en-
thusiastic as Surrey, and just as soon as
Parliament will make the necessary
to pay for the work of
organization, the reserve force" will
be reality.

Caldwell went out on the stoop OF her

ed the bathroom door.

Her screams were soon arousing the
neighborhood, as the man standing IN

semblance to the head of the Caldwell
house. Mrs. Caldwell ran toward the
street door and met Policeman
0'FIaherty who had been on post on
the corner.

and O'Flaherty, with tight grip on
his club, ran down the supposed
burglar, trying to dry himself in a

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
SATURDAY Evening. JULY >

THE rejuyenation Of Palestine is nj
tracing no little attention at present.
Since the days OF Peter the Hermit, en-
thusiastic people, who have believed the
ancient prophecies concerning the
blessings in store for that interesting
section OF the world have aided in one
way or another in furthering move
ments for placing the Holy Land IN
the possession Of the children Of Israel.
They have all proven failures, probably
for the reason that 'Jersulem was to
be trodden down of the gentiles until
the times Of the gentiles should be full
filed" IL has been nearly nineteen
hundred years since the city OF the
Great King was wrested from the Jews
and conditions now existing in Palestine
are such as have not been in evidence
since the days of the Caesars Only those
who have given read attention to the sub
iectcan form anything like an idea OF the
stupendous change that is coming over
the Holy Land. The land, and the
people and all the conditions OF life
are undergoing a strange transforma-
ton. There are now over 80, 900 Jews in
and around Jerusalem alone. The little
red houses that have sprung up by the
hundreds without the city present a
singular contrast to the ancient gray
walls. A marvellous revival ofindustry
is one OF the causes of this wonderful
influx. Another is to be found in the
series Of pogroms, or ruthless mass
acres in Russia. Roumanian oppression
of Jews has swelled the stream OF emf
grants. OfIate years the old and decayed
towns of Galilee and Judea, such as IL
berias, Hebron. Safed, etc. have become
seats of industry such as a generation
ago would not have been dreamed or
Whoever expected to see modern work
shops in these sleepy and stagnant old
cities, which seemed doomed to be for
all time but mockery Of their own
hoary antiquity? 1t truly makes an
extraordinary impression on one to see
cabinet-makers, carpenters, smiths,
tailors and other artiSans-all Jews
toiIing in such surroundings. Strang-
est of all is the resurrection of the dead
language, for in many of these colonies
is spoken the tongue Of Moses and
David Just as it was current in Bible
times This revival, which is a fulfil
ment of prophetic expectation, was de-
rided at first, but it is already an ac-
complished success.
