PREACHER ARRESTED, Z
J. John Cavnaugh Gets in
Trouble in Allentown, Pa.

Rev. John Cavnaugh, who has been
a familiar figure in Alexandria dur
ing the past third of century, and
who for several years was pastor Of
the Free Methodist Church, was in
Alexandria yesterday. He made a
flying visit, but while here announced
his presence by deliverin" exhorta-
lions on the streets.
About a week ago the preacher,
who is stationed at White Haven,
Pa, made his appearance at Allen
town, and was arrested while speak
ing on the street in violation of a
local ordinance. He was later re-
leased on a bond of 500, furnished
by a prominent citizen of Allen
town. Several other residents of the
city offered to go bail for Mr.. Cav
naugh. The charge preferred
against him was insulting people on
the streets and obstructing high
way. The case came before the Po-
lice Court next morning, but we do
not know what disposition was made
If it.

Invaders Moved Down by French
Nine miles of Dead in Trenches

Paris, Sept. 23-Wounded soldiers
who are commencing to arrive here
from the region of Craonne describe
the battle there Sunday and Monday
as having been deadly for the Ger
mans, who, they say, were sacrificed
without apparent reason by their
officers. Though pushed back with
great slaughter, some of the wounded
say, the Germans returned again and
again, only to be moved down by the
French. One entire regiment, it was
declared was wind out, and when the
French took possession of the field
they found 1000 wounded left by the
Germans. Trenches that had been
carefully prepared for resistance of
the allies advance were filled with
dead. A superior officer among the
wounded estimated the German loss
es in this engagement alone at 1000.
!. London, Sept. 23.-The Daily Nails
correspondent reports that the Ger
man right has been turned between
Peronne and St. Quentin. He says
that during Sunday night wounded
have been arriving at an unnamed
place. They report there are 8 miles
of dead in trenches between those
two towns.
New York, Sept. 23.-NIr. and Mrs
Henry de Sibour, of Washington who
were in France before the war broke
out, were among the arrivals yester-
day on the Iceland They were
marooned at Belford for time, but
finally reached Paris after passing
through the country, where much of
the early fighting occurred. On one
field he said, he saw squares of dead
German Soldiers. Those on the out
side had fallen, but the bodies toward
the center of the squares were stand
ing upright leaning against each
other. officers told him, he said, that
the machine guns were responsible
for this wholesale killing.
Mrs. dc Sibour declared near re-
lative of hers who is an officer OF an
English railroad, had told her his line
had transported 100000 Russian
troops across England. This relative
also told her, Mrs. de Sibour said,
that the steamship Aquitania was

Old VIRGINIA. ~
THE DRY COLUMN.

The people OF the Old Dominion
during the last half century nave
lived under the stars and stripes, the
stars and bars, military rule, carpet
bag and negro domination, read-Just-
crism. etc, and it is not to be sup
posed that any will commit suicide
now that large majority, in then
wisdom, have declared for statewide
prohibition. The great mass OF her
peonle are not dipsomaniacs and they
will suffer no inconvenience during
the lime this new order Of things
NJ; br in vogue.
We have no disposition to repro
ducc arguments which have been
threshed over and over during the
past summer, but cannot help eX-
claiming, Shade of George Mason,
defend US!
While most Of the cities of tbs
commonwealth, we believe sensl5ly,
gave majorties against statewide
prohibition, the bulk OF the counties
of the state went dry, most Of them
being already in that column. 1t
was naturally expected that the cit
les would be showed under by the
rural vote. Unfortunately in the
history of legislation the rural dis
tricts hold the whip handle, not only
in Virginia, but in the great state
of New York as well. Cities, no
matter how great, or what they may
have at stake, must bow to the Will
of their country friends
The Gazette bows to the will Of
the majority We believe in the doc
trine that the state is sovereign and
that the people should rule. They
have spoken; that is an end to the
vexatious controversy. But now that
the prohibiticaists have gained the
day, it is hoped that they will U.S.
their power to such an extent as to
make Virginia dry not in theory, but
in fact. It has been stated in this
city that prominent members Of the
organization will form vigilance com
mittees and see that the law is strict
ly enforced. So mote it be.
In the mean time taX-riddea Fir-
gignia will be called upon to devise
ways and means CT meeting a great
deficit in her revenues. This, we
hope. will also be accomplished sat
iSfactorily, while our home city, al
ready staggering under obligations
for public improvements and eXer
: clsed as to how she may meet what
is required of her, win be more
exercised under conditicnsawhich viii

Peter Rabbit Prepares Il
Make a Call.

Peter Rabbit washed his face and
hands and brushed himself with great
care. 1t was very plain to see that
Peter wanted to look his very best.
Little Mrs. Peter watched him Suspi-
ciously. 1t was very unusual for Peter
to care how hc looked, SO she felt sure
that lie had something on his mind,
something she didn't know about.
where are YOU going, Peter?' she
demanded
over TO the Green Forest, just as L
do every night replied Peter, brush
ing away as hard as ever he could.
tI-n-In-m," said Mrs. Peter. Il never
have known You to be so fussy about
Green Forest. VIII" do YOU expect to
see there?
Peter looked a little bit confused. The
truth is he wasn't quite sure that Mrs.
Peter would approve of what lie was
planning to do, and SO he had told her
