ALEXANDRIA, Va. June 1-Joseph
Willis. colored. twenty-f years old

charged with the murder of Virgil
Jones. colored. also twenty-five years
old. The alleged murder took place
last night shortly after 10 o'clock at
a camp car at the Potomac railroad
yards. Alexandria county. Willis was
arrested about o'clock this morning
by Special Officer Robert Reynolds
who found him near the overhead
bridge, in close proximity to the scene
of the crime.
Acting Coroner r. J. Yates, Alex
andria county. will hold an inquest
over the body of Jones at O'Clock
this afternoon at Demaine's under
taking chapel. Willis will be called
before the coroner's Jury
Willis in his cell today said he might
have killed Jones. although he said he
was not positive whether he did or
not. The fact that he was drunk all
day yesterday was ascr1bed as the
cause OF his hasy memory.
According to the police. Willis had
a pistol when he was taken into Gus
today. 1t was of SO caliber pattern
and there was one empty shell. which
apparently had recently been dis
charged.
According to statements made by rail-
road officials who investigated the case
Willis shortly after 10 o'clock last night
went to the camp car at the south end of
the Potomac yards and asked for a
nights lodging. This was refused him by
Jones. who is a track hand employed at
the yards. Willis replied 'An right &C
cordins to the statement, and then pulled
the weapon from his pocket and fired one
shot. the bullet penetrating directly above
Jones heart. Jones lived about half an
hour afterward Willis disappeared. He
says he lives in Chicken alley in the
northeastern part of the city.

"BUY A BALE"

While war made the price of wheat
rise and generally helped northwestern
farmers, down south the cotton planters
are almost without market. More
than half the cotton crop goes to Europe
and large part of it to Germany,
Austria and other countries which can
not get any at all on account of war con.
ditions, while England the best customer
is not buying much because of lack OF
markets for the manufactured goods.
So great is the distress caused by this
lack of market that a sort of patriotic
movement has taken place in the south
and some northern cities and everybody
is urged to "Buy bale" which at the
present price of ten cents means an in.
vestment of about $50. The theory is
that the investors will make good in.
terest on the investment and thus heir
the farmers through this years crop.
Next year the farmers will grow more
corn and less cotton which in itself will
not be bad thing for the south, as they
have been sticking to cotton just the
same as we have been raising wheat, and
they need the change for much the same
reasons that We do.

WHO IS BENEFITED?

Last month The Pioneer Express pub.
lished report showing that l,046 car
loads of Canadian cattle were shipped
through the port of Noyes alone in two
months. as shown by the records of the
500 and Great Northern railroads. In
the month of August there were 1871 ,34l
worth of Canadian cattle shipped
through this district alone, besides 9TH
or live stock. free of duty under the new
Democratic tariff, all in direct COMPETE
tion to the American farmer. Swift and
Armour Packing Companies ship car
loads of dressed beef weekly from ::the
north to their distributing houses on
this side since the new tariff law went
into effect and we still pay more for our
meats than we ever did. Who receives
the benefit? You farmer, do you buy
the Canadian beef on the block of your
local butcher any cheaper? On the 9th.
er hand, do you get any more, or as
much as you did when you sold your
product to these same corporations?
Don't be carried away by political pre-
judices, but look to your own interests.
Next week we will give official figures
showing some more of the absurdities
of the Democratic tariff and who it be-
Nefits

MILITARY TRAINING IN SCHOOL

Whether it is, or is not, an argument
for big standing army and navy, the
fact remains as shown by the results of
the present war that the United States
would simply be great big baby IN the
hands of any first-class power in case of
war.
The German navy for instance could
come to New York City and demand
enough money to build fifty, frst-class
dreadnaughts and New York City would
have to hand it over and then the Ger
mans could 60 up and down our coasts
and demand proportionate sums from
fifty cities.
OF cource we also have some navy, but
we also have some thousands of miles OF
coast-and then our navy might get lick.

and until of late years not worn, while
the waters abound in fish. A happy,
careless people, most of whom hardly
know where Europe is, and probably but
few had even heard that Europe was at
war.
Two weeks ago two German var ships
arrived off that little island, and shelled
its capital, the little city of Papeets.
1t was like shelling Pembina at point
blank distance. There was no defence
possible. little fort replied feebly but
with no possible effect. After destroy
ing good part of the town the ships
vent on their way.
The only reason for shelling this little
city on the other side of the world was
that it is French possession. 1t had
no more effect on the general results of
the war than if Papeete had been situat.
ed in the moon. But it was war and
therefore as such perfectly legitimate.
But again we have to echo Sherman's s
remark, 'That war is hell" with the ad.
dition that it takes civilized Christian
nations to make "war'' good and hot.

Antwerp to the Germans is about the
same rs destroying wasp nest which
has been annoying their rear. The nest
itself Is of little value to them. While a
seaport, the rivier connecting it with the
sea runs through Holland and therefore
neutral water. Germany will hardly
risk breaking the neutrality of Holland
after the result in Belgium.
The fanking moveme Of the allies in
northwest Belgium have blocked by the
Germans though fierce fighting has been

reaching out for Ostend and other chan

it looks as If the Russians had suffered
considerable reverses there.

We refer particularly to military train

the idea of teaching boys to fight" as
the peace people put it is repugnant to
many people. They are the same kind
of persons who want their boys to know
how to swim but do not allow them to 90

And it is fact that very many boys do
drown-though it is rare that boys who
know how to swim drown.
Military instruction by non-commis-
stoned officers of the regular army in
every high school would make nucleus
for an army IN case of need that would
be very valuable to the nation. Some of
those boys would develop military gen.
ius which otherwise mig ght lie dormant
and unsuspected. 1t took two or three
years to develope generals during the
civil war.

training boys how to fight rather than
training them to fight. They are indie.
pendent IDEAS.
-Four years Of fighting as real soldiers
did not make any war spirit at the close
of the war among the bulk of the men
who were then discharged.
In one way the peace people are truly
logical. A nation that can't fight cannot
go to war. A man without a gun can't
shoot bear.
