ACHILLES.

Emperor William during his recent
trip to a point somewhere in the real
of Peronne, on the Somme front
made speech to the German wound
ed soldiers in which he is quoted as
saying:
at is the most poignant grief OF
my life that / am unable to take a
more active part in this war. 1t is
my earnest desire to take my place
in the trenches and to deal such blows
at our enemies as my age and
strength would permit. could take
my place with the youngest of you.
and l promise that would leave my
mark on the enemy. But the Inscru-
table Almighty has willed otherwise.
Iato my care has been committed by
divine destiny the leadership of oun
country, its armies and its forces
on land and sea. The burden Of
thinking. deciding and leading has
been hard upon me, and, realizing
this, l know that MY life must not
he risked in the foremost line of bat
tie, where my feelings, if unrestrain-
ed, would carry me swiftly. My life
must be conserved carefully for the
welfare Of Germany in order to car
~ out the duties assigned to me by
divine appointment"
Per contra, Max Osborne, in the
Wossiche Zeitung, of Berlin, from
western headquarters says: eve
are shaken by burning pain as. new
streams of German blood arc flow
ing and we see our power lessen over
what cannot be changed. After two
years of war the angel of dcstruc
ton is passing through the ranks of
the German army with a fury and
mercilessness as if the death dance
of battles had only just begun.
whilst our enemies suffer fearful
losses, we do not blind our eyes to
the new mourning come to US nor
over the seriousness of the fate Of
this decisive battle raging on all
fronts. We should be unworthy the
stupendous task we have to fulfill
and the most incomprehensible sacri-
fees our heroes make if we were not
able to understand the whole fury
and burden of these weeks. We feel
the raging storm of the united power
of the enemy. 1t is now question
of everything for the life or death
of our nation. We stand differently
now from what we did in August,
1914, UneNamplcd deeds of fate lie
between. But still the concluding
point has to be reached and every
thing is in the balance of lief or
death"

TIMELY
WARNING.

Present day tendencies among girl:
Of tender years were severely de-
nounced in a sermon delivered Sun.
day at St. Paul's M. E. Church, At
lantic City, by Rev. DR.. Wilbur F
crafts OF Washington, superintendent
of the International Reform Bureau
"Let it not be assumed, said DR.
Crafts, "that all boys are devils an,
all girls are angels. Many girls seen
now to be devil-possessed, singing
suggestive songs, reading salacious
magazines, enjoying lewd dances, at
tending unsBeakable shows and dres-
sing in most immodest fashion. Nc
wonder $4,000 girls are reported as
dropping out of sight every year
in most case running away from home
in devilish fascination for some I'M
porthy man, or to hide shame Of pre-
vious secret sin.
"The fault is, of course, more than
half their parents, who in many cases
failed to prepare their daughters IN
either body, mind or soul for the per-
iod of dawning womanhood. Especial
ly ought girls wills be trained to
make right decisions swiftly and sure.
ly, and to hold to these decisions
tenaciously. Because statistics seem
to show that the years from Is to II
have been the years when more per-
sons have been converted than at any
other period Of life, we must not lose
sight of the fact that more have also
been perverted in that period"
There is one observation of the re-
vcrcnd gentleman which is timely.
He refers TO the immodest female at
tire of the present day We lived il
the days of the crinoline, and al
though among the small fry of that
period, the costume caused a dis
gust from which we never recover
ed; hence VIC occasionally read with a
shudder the suggestion that hoop
skirts factories are liable to become
Il manufacturing industry again as it
was, even in old Alexandria, half q
century ago, as the advertisements OF
that time in the Gazette will show.
But the present day costume OF mary
of the feminine gender is Of the other
extreme. Abbreviated skirts are well
enough for children, but when girls
arc approaching womanhood and
their short and diaphamous skirts at
tract attention, they arc not following
the advice Of the good man Paul who
said, "lct women adorn themselves in
modest apparel"
Attention is often directed to- the
large number of girls from twelve
to sixteen years Of age in Alexandria
who arc passing through critical age,
who throng the streets nightly with
males of their own years, some wear
ing knee pants. 1t is so in all places,
and while their intercourse may now
he guileless, there is no telling what
familiarity may breed eventually.

CONDITIONS
IN VIRGINIA

While we speak regretfully, we
know that, sooner or later, some one
will utter substantially what the
Gazette believes it should express
as it is a matter which seriously al
fects the people of the entire COM
monwealth. The modes of assess
ment and taxation which have of late
been rcsorted to in this state in or
der to increase revenue will, it is be-
licvcd. put us eventually in the posi-
ton of the man who killed the goose
that laid the golden egg.
Recently wealthy man 1who had
taken up his residence in a rural
place near Alexandria, becoming in
censcd at the insistence of Officials
VINO were probing for his intaneibles,
grew impatient and declared he would
no longer remain in the Old Domin-
ion. He gave away his valuable farm
to a charitable institution and remov-
ed to another state. 1t is alleged IN
Alexandria that another new conner,
who spent nearly forty thousand in
purchasing and improving an estate
within sight of our city, has announc-
ed his purpose to sell out at a sacrifice
of about one half of the amount he
ha= spent in Virginia. He, too VIII
not reside in the state under present
conditions. 1t is also reported that
Thomas Fortune Ryan is about to
present his valuable estate to the
United States to be used for govern
ment purposes. He has also got
enough of present conditions.
If these things are true, and they
are generally credited especially
among people who are exasperated at
the manner in which state officials arc
exacting every cent possible in order
to pile up state receipts, it is time
something was done either in eX-
PLANTATION or in bringing about new
departure. We believe all should pay
their quota towards keeping up the
state government, but we never yet
clearly understood why a man VINO
pays taxes upon property owned else
where should be compelled to pay in
another state an additional levy upon
the profits he may derive from sucil
holdings. This, however, seems to be
the main issue

We are passing through one OF
the most tremendous crises i'll

er is still threatening. Even the
signing of a peace concOrdat IN
Europe may increase rather than
diminish our national difficulties
by precipitating a revolutionary
tumult that will rival the war in
it's world-convulsing consequen-

war will bring momentOus eco
