Meagre Reports
From the Balkans.

For the past week or more, a dearth
of war news from the Balkans has ex-
listed. This has not been because more
stirring news has been coming from
Mexico, much nearer by. to crowd the
Turks from the fropt page of the
newspapers, but rather from the fact
that no Balkan news of note has been
obtainable. The meagre reports that
come from day to day are strictly CEN
sored and are often denied next day.
The situation in Constantinople has
apparently been made more critical
because of the great confiagration.
This flre is said to have been put
under control.
1t is believed the powers. so-cal:ed,
are so desirous of peace that they
will see that neither Turkey nor the
) allied nations will be able to nego-
tiate a war and in these days war
without enormous sums Of money is
an impossibility.
1t is hardly likely much more Sc
rious lighting will take place. The
remainder Of the war is apt to be
bloodless and conducted by diplomats
rather than soldiers.

Governor Wilson's
Anti Trust Bills.

The seven antitrust bills, prepared
under the direction of Governor Will
son, have become laws. The state of
New Jersey. Governor Wilson and the
entire country are to be Congratulated
on the enactment of these bills, popu-
1arly known as the seven sisters"
New Jersey was one OF the worst
trust-ridden states in the Union. Enc
mics OF Governor Wilson, of the demo-
cratic party and of reform legislation,
severely criticized the governor because
the trusts in New Jersey were not
Eooner curbed, entirely ignoring the
fact that this is the first time since
he was governor that he had friendly
legislature.
That he got this drastic legislation
through with so little delay and so
small opposition may be regarded as
being rather remarkable. It is a good
omen It tends to show that Mr.. VIII
son when he becomes president will be
able to have national legislation en-
acted along the same genera, lines.
These laws win make it impossible
for the trusts to do business in the
state Of New Jersey.

Ut seems to be an unfailing at
tribute of human nature that when
man, and particularly a lawyer. wants
an argument he must attack the mo-
tive and temper of his adversary.
Why should the editor of The Journal.
or anyone else for that matter, get
angry with Mr.. Reese? Why also
should the editor of The Journal or
any other citizen assume to do the
thinking for the people when Mr..
Reese is so easily accessible? Mr.
Reese is mistaken in assuming that
the editor Of The Journal wrote sec
ton Of the Semmes charter. The
editor wrote simply that portion of
section 8 which requires primary cleo
ton nominees to limit their primary
election expenditures and to say how
they spend the $3.50 that they are per-
mitted to spend. If Mr.. Reese would
confine himself to the issue--and not
waste time and words on the irrelevant
subject Of the editors temperate
could probably accomplish just as
much and he could do 1t in much less
space.-Editor The Journal.)

SPEAKS WELL FOR CITY.
No Deaths in Alexandria During The
Past Four Days.

Alexandria and suburban places,
which are the outgrowth of Alexan-
dria, embraces about seventeen thou
sand persons, and during the past four
days undertakers have had no denths
to report when newspaper men made
their daily calls.
l.; has often been suggested that our
city has much for which to be thank
full, not only from the fact that the
death rate is small, but also when 1t is
realized that our city has but few
serious visitations in way Of cpl
denies or convulsions of nature.
While Alexandria follows The even
tenor of it's way. neither being poor
nor rich in a worldly sense, the people
oniov life within our borders as much
as anv place on the globe, as they are
blessed with all necessary adjuncts to
life as well as with luxurles and con-
venisnces appertaining to the iwen-
tieth century.

immune from labor issues and the
disorders often accompanying such
unfortunate occurrences.

the expenses necessary to keep up the
extravaganza of the capital city.
In connection with the above it may
be stated that business in police cir

late. The cases which appear on the
docket of the court are generally
misdemeanors in which no serious

the British after having been repuls-

frightful carnage on both sides. In
this conflict the Irish were greatly
handicapped by lack of proper arms,
and this made the victory doubly-
earned
In after years much was said and
written about this battle, and perhaps
nothing said of it was more appropri-
ate than the following lines deliver
ed in a speech many years afterward,
which follow:
"There is no one that has drop of
Irish blood in his veins that need be
ashamed of the heroes of '9S. They
fought for six days and with very
poor outfit of war, only that which
they had captured from the enemy"

CONFIRM REPORT.
President Definitely Decides TO Name
Willard and Page For Foreign
Posts. -.

Washington. June IL was def
nitelv decided at the cabinet meeing
held yesterday morning to appoint
Thomas Nelson Page ambassador to
Italy and Joseph E. Willard is min
istcr to Belgium.
When President Wilson called at the
Capitol Thursday he asked Senators
Swanson and Martin if the appoint
ment of these TWO men would be sat-
isfactory to them, and they replied
that it was "very satisfactory" To
nut and end to the discussion which
had been ripe for some time, that It
was impossible for both Page and
Willard to be appointed to the diplo-
matte corps, and hat the appointment
of Page would be direct dcfeatc for
the "Progressives,' Of Virginia, or the
annointrent Of Willard would indicate
that the President was opposed to the
"or@anization.'
Neither. it can be said, has exert
ed any great efforts to defeat the ap-
nointment of the other, feeling con-
dent that Virginia could secure the
appointment Of both.
Mr.. Page has been close friend of
President Wilson for many years, and
his appointment has been urged by
Senators Martin and Swanson and a
number of other prominent Virginians
and men Of prominence outside the
State.
1t will probably be two weeks b:fore
the nominations are sen.t to the SEN
ate. as it is customary to consult the
countries 10 which they are to be sent
whether their appointment, is satisfac-
torv so as to prevent the extreme em-
barrassment which would occur should
an ambassador after appointment
be found to be persona grata.

TOWNSEND'S CHARGE.
Will Have to Substantiate Reflection
Made Against President in Coming
Investigation.

Washington,June 7.-Senate Demo-
Gratis today claimed a straeetic ad-
vantage had unwittingly been ac-
corded them by the Republicans as the
result of the qualified charge made be-
fore the lobby investigating commit
zee by Senator Townsend of Michi
gan. They had. the senator's declarat-
ration that President Wilson was a
lobbyist, within the broad sense of
the term, because of his activity in
behalf Of the tariff bill, forced the
Republicans in the difficult position
of making good on the crarge.
Because Senator Townsend reiter-
ated his declaration That he had no
proof of any tariff "'lobbying" by
President Wilson, the committee can
take no official cognizance of the mat
ter.By adopting the Walsh resolution,
permitting recall to the stand of any
senator suspected of having been
whipped into line" for the tariff bill.
Democrats figured today that they had
placed the burden of the proof on the
minority.

POLICE AND STRIKE KERS BATTLE.
A Bloody Sequel to the Killing of A
Striker by Strikebreaker.

Stettin, Getrmany, June IA bat
Tile between police and strikers in
which 10 persons were severely woun-
ded, was fought Thursday night in the

day evening one of them molested a
man who had continued at work and

manded that the striger be handled
over to them. Their request was re-
fused and they threatened to demolish
the factory.
The police wer unable to cope with
the angry strikers and reinforcements
were called for from Stettin. Shortly
afterward body of 300 armed po-
licemen arrived in automobiles from
Stettin and a pitched battle between
them and the strikers occurred. The

volvers. The strikers replied with pis-
tol shots, but were soon overcome by
the disciplined force. They were fl
nally dispersed, leaving many Of their
number wounded on the ground.
The casualties were in some cases
of a sever nature. Ten policemen
