ALBAN1ANs ATTACK sERBIANs
Missionaries Urge to Flee From War
Zone

Sofa BULGARIA, Oct. 2s--Albanians
in the Kossovo district of Serbia (the
Prinzrend region) have begun hostili-
ties against the Serbians, according
to the official statement by the Bull
esrian war office issued today.
The statement, which rccounts the
capture Of quantities of war material
bv the Bulgarians is as follows:
"The offensive continues along the
entire front.
"In Negotin we found great guam
titles of flour and oats. In the mar
Dor of Kussicke, on the Danube west
of Prahovo, we found 1900 winter
waistcoats, 1000 hoods, 1000 military
caps, and 80 boxes of ammunition.
Near Kujazeva we captured field
guns, 6 cases of ammunition, l cap,
tain, and 30 men.
"in the district of Kossovo the Al
banians have commenced hostilities
against the Serbians.
Several Serbian officers remained
in Uskup. The Serbian authorities
while advising American nnissionarle:
and other foreigners to leave Uskup
as they said the Bulgarians were bar:
barians and would kill them, left theil
own families there, saying that the
Bulgarians would not harm them"

VENERABLE
STRUCTURE.

AS is stated elsewhere in the Gaz-
cite, the managersNof the Ann Lee
Memorial Home have purchased the
large brick house at the northeast
corner of Cameron and Fairfax
streets, for their purposes, and will
moderniZe the structure so as to rem
der il suitable home for the aged
and INDECENT.
This is one of Alexandria's oldest
landmarks. The Braddock House, the
Herbert House, as this is called, and
the Kcll house, on the southeast cor
ner of Queen and Fairfax streets,
were built before the revolutionary
war, when Alexandria was under the
British flag, with her streets named
after royalty. showing the tory pro-
pensities of our progenitors. Princess
was the northern boundary. Duke the
southern, Royal the western and the
Potomas the eastern.
The house now owned by the Ann
Lee Memorial Home was constructed
by Thomas Herbert, in 1855, shortly
after John Carlyle built the colonial
home now known as the Draddock
House.
Many years after it had been used
as palatial residence it lay as a
white elephant upon the real estate
market, being used for different pur-
poses. at one time as a public house
and at another as tenement house
OF late it was utilized as home fol
aged and INDECENT women.
Many years ago Samuel Tennesson
the restauratcur whose fame extend
ed beyond the limits of Alexandria
occupied the house. It was here ne
conducted his eating house for long
tine and wtcre Tenresson's fried
oysters attan..d a reputation almost
as great as tne viands nranar-d IN
Delmonico's in New York. During
the winter season n visit to .Aiexan'
dl'ia was disappoint ;ag without par
taking of bivalves prepared by Ten
nesson.

DR.. John T. Graham, of Wytheville,
former president of the Southwest
Medical Society, said yesterday at
ternoon,, addressing the Medical So
ciety of Virginia in the auditorium OF
the jefferson Hotel, Richmond, that
it seems unreasonable that the judg-
lnent Of a physician, testifying as an
expert on insanity, should be passed
on by jury composed of unframed
and nonprofessional minds.
Dr.. Graham, said, that trial by
jury-judgment passed on profession.
al knowledge by nonprofesslonai
minds - is the main reason for the
popular opposition to this plea as a
defense before the law.
"The physician, said Dr.. GraMm
"must give special study and have
special preparation to be qualified to
practice medicine, yet Judgment is
passed on his professional knowledge
by a jury of unframed and nonprofes-
sional minds. Trial by jury mas
outlived its day of usefulness, and
in many instances has become a farce
ga lawyer can no longer go into
court depending solely on the justice
of his case and his knowledge OF the
law, nor can he rest secure in the pre-
ponderance of evidence for his claim
but he must engage in a sparrlng
match with the attorneys for the 9TH
err side in the selection of jury, and
he is accounted the best and most
successful lawyer who knows whom
to put on and whom to strike OFT the
jury. And yet this is all done in the
name of justice. ;"

WORK OF
BRITISH NAVY

British submarines are virtually IN
charge of the Baltic, and the hazard
to German shipping has become no
great that steamers of that nation
have been ordered to remain IN port.
Destruction Of German steamers is
reported daily, and the boast that the
British Isles would be effectelly bot
tied up by German submarines has
not materialized. On the contrary,
Germany is becoming more effectually
bottled up every day. The Norfolk
Vireinian-Pilot in commenting On the
present conditions says:
Germany may be altogether sincere
in her rather boastful claim OF ability
to feed herself indefinitely, but the
outsider is calculated to experience
some difficulty in reconciling her pro-
testations of independence in that re-;
gard with the stricter measures OF
price regulation and distribution which
the Imperial Government is taking IL
connection with certain food supplies
The wise foresight and efficiency with
which the governmental authorities
carly in the war undertook to sale
guard the civilian population against
the consequences of waste and specu-
lation, while always keeping first IN
mind the welfare of the armies in the
field. have no doubt operated, in no
small degree, to conserve the resources
of the Empire, but there are, of course
limits to what even the most scienti-
fic management and the most rigor-
Gus disciplinary measures can accom-
plish in that,respect. Human agencies
are powerlcss to duplicate the miracle
of the loaves and fishes, and the ap-
petite of the average person is not to
be regulated by imperial decree. For
the last several months the only out
side source to which Germany could
!5si a5tSiiti5 aal supplies was
Sc-s sad now the recently

St-,,r lonely hazardous, if

with Sweden and Norway. If the
strain on German resources, particu-
larly in the matter of food supplies
is rot approaching a serious point,
then those resources must be great
deal greater than they have ever been
credited with being by the outside
world.

CHAMPION OF
CHRISTIANITY"

Rev. Nathaniel S. Thomas, Bishop
of Cheyenne, Wyo., offered a resolu-
ton, which was, adopted unanimously
by the Board CT Missions of the Epls-
copal Church in New York yesterday,
that the Board send a memorial tc
Emperor William of Germany, cas- a
well-know<Ss, NIPPON of Christianity
to use his influence with the Sultan OF
Turkey to assuage the ravages of re-
ligious persecution witch have been in
flictcd by the Turks upon the Ar
menians:"
Constantine, one of the most un-
scrupulous and cruel sovereigns Of the
long ago, masqueraded as Christian
most of his life, but, according to
historians, he never bore any fruit.
Eusebius, a church father, tells US
that Constantine. when upon his death
bed, told him he was animated to be-
come champion Of Christianity and
to effect union between church and
state by remarkable sign he saw If
the sky, in the shape of a cross under
which were the words, 'Tn hoe signo
vinces." Has Emperor William seen
any signs in the sky? Bishop Thorn
as calls him the champion of Chris
tianity. He must be successor OF
Constantine, as the latter claimed
he had a heavenly commission.

SECRETS OF HOSPITALITY.

True hospitality does not lie in great
display or in lavish expense. There are
magnificent houses thrown open wide at
stated times to a great array of guests; but
the guests arrive uneasily and depart as
soonascourtesyp permits. There areroyalban
u lis where every delicacy is lavished;
but there is no cordially in giver or re-
ceiver, and the banqueters are stated before
they sit down. And the owners of those
houses and the trainers of those feasts won
der why men and women go with such
eagerness to quiet homes and simple
tables, where there is no luxury whatever
One secret is entertaining your friends
as nearly as possible after the fashion in
which you live yourself. People worth in
viting come not to see your house, but to see
you. For set occasions some little prepa-
rations may be necc esary, but often that
little is too much. What every visitor
appreciates most is seeing the family as
nearly as possible as it lives, and being
made part of it. The houses that open
in that way, as it we're by the touch of
spring, are the houses that are loved and
frequented. The guest who are most en-
joyed and who most enjoys himself is the
guest that comes unexpectedley.-Ex.
