big as the outing they gave yester-
day to this popular resort 1t is es-
timated that 2300 persons made the
trip to Marshall Hall with the local
order, and the steamer was crowded
TO it's capacity on every occasion
when it left the Alexandria wharf.
The many and varied amuSements
1t Marshall Hall were enjoyed by
the Eagles and their friends and the
program of athletic events carried
out during the day were exciting and
all were enjoyed. The races partc!u-
larry were mucn fun both to the diff
ferent contestants and the onlookcrs.
Men, women, and children all partic-
ipated, and it was happy day. The
baseball game played in the after
noon het~reen the Eagles team and
the Clarendon Athletic Club is pub

III. S. NOTE TO GERMANY
Kaiser May Not Answer for Two or
Three Months

New York, July 2S-The Tribune
publishes the following dispatch from
its Washington correspondent.
No answer will be made by Ger
MANY to latest American note, unless
it should be impossible to avoid an
swering the statements referring tn
the torpedoing of the Lusitania. the
German government does not wish
for some time-probably two of three
months-to make any such disavowal
of the torpedoing of the Lusitania as
is insisted on in the American note.
DELAY. in the opinion of the Ger
man foreign Office, would permit the
pacifcation of helligerent popular
opinion in Germany, which feels tnat
the Lusitania and her passengers got
their Just deserts, because she was
carrying ammunition.
This was the view taken here 20
night by close friend Of the German
Ambassador, who has heretofore ac-
curately forecasted German opinion.
.sThe American public was vastly
aroused over the Lusitania torpedo
ing" this man declared, because of
the more than 100 American lives
lost on her. The Lusitania was carry
ing ammunition to the .allies. This
fact is known from one end of Ger
MANY to the other. American shells
are held up as more att-dealing and
effective than even the French.
"This government, if | understand
the notes properly, wants Germany 70
disavow the incident by saying that
she did not mean to torpedo the YES
sci without warning; and that she Is
sorry for the whole affair.
"The German public would take
this as statement that the adml-
ralty was sorry it had stopped the
ammunition on the Lusitanla from be-
ing fired at German soldiers.
"But in Il few months. perhaps,
may be brought about where
the German government could make
such statement to this country with
out arousing such torrent of popu-
lar opposition"

The dull roar of the fighting thir-

to within less than ten miles of the
heart of the city, only to be slaughter

Despite terrific bombarament, the
Germans have been unable to break

TAKING CENSUS.
purp0sed to Redistrict City Into
Wards WithApprOXimatc Num-
ber Of Residents.

Work has been commenced under
the direction or Edward J. Fleming
Of taking a census of the population
of the section of Alexandria from
the west side of Washington street
to the east side of Patrick street.
The object Of the census is to enable
the city Council to redistrict the city
into wards so that each of the four
wards will have approximately the
same number of residents.
The wards are unevenly divided at
the present time owing to the add'-
tion of the annexed. territory to the
third and fourth wards, making these
wards have a much larger population
than the first and second.
When the census is completed 1t IS
expected that the dividing line be-
tween the first and fourth and the
second and third wards now Wash
ington street, will be moved several
blocks west of the present line. 1t
will require several weeks time to
complete the census.
The work is being done under the
direction of the committee on general
laws. council having made an appro-
nriation several weeks ago to cover
the expense.

WILL OPPOSE
POPE BENEDICT
Is Not Wanted as Member
Of Peace Council at !
Close of War.
IS AN UNDESIRABLE
Should He be Selected Over Italy's
Protest Peace Conference Will be
Held in Vatican.

Rome July 23-Italy will not agree
to the selection of Pope Benedict as
a member of the peace council at the
end of the European war, it is re.
liably reported today, despite the
fact that the Pope wants to be pre-
sent on that happy day.
A combination of other nations in
favor of the pontiff may force his
selection over the objections of his ma
tive country. But there is no disguis-
ing the fact that recent published in
terviews with the pontiff particular
ly the one in which he was quoted as
assailing the Italian government, have
made him undesirable. in the minds
of Italian officials, as member OF
the peace board.
This particular interview, the one
granted NJ. Lapatie, of the Paris
Liberte, was part of the Vatican's
plan to place itself before the world
as being un-Italian and strictly neu-
trail. The Pope's reputation OF tn"
interview in a letter to Cardinal AM
ette, made public in Paris, has not
changed the situation in the slightest.
Lapatie is an excellent Catholic, rep
resenting a great Catholic organ in
France, and the fact remains that ne
obtained the interview through Catho-
lie, channels and that the entire affair
was Vatican plan.
Until Italy went to war the Pope
had high hopes that he might bring
about peace in Europe. 1t was with
these hopes in view that he opposed
to the last the entrance of Italy into
the conflict. If Italy remained nett
trail, the.~Pope being an ltaliap,
might be considered neutral. But
with his blood kin in the war, it was
necessary for the Pope to take such
steps as he took in the interview
given to Lapatie to prove. his lack of
sympathy with the Italian, govern
ment. His reputation of Italy was
meant to prove the utter neutrality
of the Vatican. 80
Incidentally, if the Pope is selected
-, tho neace board over Italy's pro-
test, the peace counsel will be held
in the Vatican.

Fears That Town Will be Destroyed
Should Oil Tanks be Fired-Chil-
dren Play in War Zone.

Bayonne, n. j., July 23-Anarciy
still is rampant in Bayonne today.
With three strikers dead, shot down
by deputies at the Standard Oil Com
pany plant here, and scores more in
cluding little children, desperately
wounded, further trouble is threatened
today, and Bayonne bids fair to out
rival Ludlow and Calumet.
Guards are barricaded behind ten
foot concrete wall, daring the strlk-
ers to advance against the plant. The
strikers are sheltered behind wood
fence shattered by rifle bullets yes
terday, waiting for an opportunity.
Between the two strongholds Is
NO Mans Land" a thirty-foot strip
that is death itself.
All through the night there were
minor disturbances, strikers shoot.
ing at guards and the guards re
turning their fire.
Grave apprehension is felt for the
safety of the whole town, as the re
suit Of repeated attempts to fire the
big oil tanks here.
Small children, however. played
about the danger zone, peerlng
around corners and enjoying the fur
immensely. The police made no effort
to stop the firing, or to get the child

Samuel Gompers and Secretary Frani
Morrison, Of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, left Washington last
night for Bridgeport, Conn, to az
tend today's conference of labor lead
crs on the strike in the Remington
arms factory. Neither official woulc
make any statement, but from re-
marks dropped by the men who at
tended wednesdays conference it is
believed advantage will be taken OF
the unusual situation and an organ!z'
:. cd effort made to better the condl-
tons as to hours of: labor and wages
IN; every plant in the country now en-
gagged in the. manufacture Of w;''
munitions. :
The word has been passed along to
all machinists at the Washington
NAVY Yard who have agreed to &c
to the new Eddystone plant not e
make any change unit! the Bridge
mort strike is settled. This is takcr
to mean that there must be gene
raj readiustment everywhere, with
view of giving skilled labor its share
of large profits, before any thorough
settlement of present labor troubles
can take place.
Prospects, of a serious strike at tht
navy yard here hang in the balance
while the President is examining th'
complaint of the machlnlst sunmit''
ed to him by the president OF the 10
cal union. The President is urge'
to direct Secretary Daniels to res
tore the wage scale as it existed De
fore the reduction on July l. Sec
retary Daniels said the apportionmel'
of the appropriations by Congress 10
wages at the navy yard was maze
strictly according to the terms OF tn
statute.
; IF a strike is inauguratcd at IN

with full force the guns of the ne'
