sibe.

Baltimore, Md, Sept. 2G.-PresilCHt
Wilson delivered II speech almost de-
voiu of politics before the National
Grain Dealers convention here.
Discussing ways in which Amen"an
commerce can be expanded, he told
an audience of $500 people that

lar measures he expected business

move all ingenious constructions and
make it perfectly clear what the lib
critics as well as what the restrictions
of trade are in this country
Is Given Ovation.
Every effort was made by the preSi-
Gem to keep the visit to Baltimore
nonpartisan, but when he entered. the
Lyric theater for his speech he was
greeted with Il four-minute demonstra-
ton which kept him bowling again and
again.
The thcatcr was packed with grain
dealers from all parts of the country
and their friends. Many visitors
We're turned away.
Regret that politics might interfere
with the discussion of problems fac
Ing American business was expressed
by the president at the outset. He
declared he had "a supreme contempt
for partisan action" although beiev-
ing in party action" He urged that
his audience divest itself of "the con-
seriousness that we are in the midst of
Il political campaign
Friendship for Latins.
Once the president, speaking of the
nations of Latin America, said his
chief concern had been to see that
nothing was done that did not show
friendship and good faith on our
part" This statement was greeted
by the most prolonged applause of the
speech.
Cooperation between the govern
ment and business men, between diff
ferent business m2n, and between
business men and their employees was
urged as the only way in which the
United States can meet the cOmpeti-
ton of the world

she will take her place in the great
field in new spirit which the world
has never seen before; not the spirit

but in the spirit of those who would

Business Needs New Laws.
After saying that until the new

commission.

on the one side and on the other side
we were talking theories and manag-
ing policies, without IA sufficient
knowledge of the facts upon which
we were acting" He added that he
hoped he could find men for the com
mission who will "Sce the facts and
state them, no matter whose opinion
those facts contradict"

night, while Sergeant Roberts was

SLEEPING NEAR TRACK HOPE FOR ROUMANIANS
Legion Tells

London, Nov. 27--News from
German sources caused a nenewal OF
hope here today that Roumanla
NAV. after all. cytricatc herself from
ihe precarious position N which her
Wallachian forces have been placed
by Won Falkenhayn's concsiediE b:i!-
liant strategic campaign.
Of prime basis for this hope was the
utter lack, in all the German officIa!
reports. of any claims OF large
captures Of prisoners or war mum
tons.
If the Roumanian army had actu-
ally been trapped by the cncircllng
movement around Orsova and Turnu-
SEVERN, reaching over to Cralova, 1t
was regarded as certain the Berlin
onicia! reports would have chronicled
big captures of men and supplies.
Furthermore, it is known here that
the Roumanians succeeded in remov-
ing all of their artillery from Cralova
before that city fell into the hands
Of the enemy.
One other source of hope was the
report from German correspondents
at Won Falkenhayn's Headquarters
that further progress beyond the Ait
was delayed because Of the condition
Of the roads.
Both of these bits Of news led mill
tary experts here to reconstruct il
story Of an orderly retreat of the
Roumanian forces from the angle on
which two arms of the Teutonic
forces are now cXcrting pressure.
Washington, Nov. 27.-That the
past ten months have brought such
marked improvement in the equip
mcnt and development of armies OF
the allies as 20 assure ultimate Wig
tory Of those nations over the cen
trail powers. is the message brought
to Washington by Lieut.. Zinovi Pech-
.kcfr, Of the French Foreign Legion
He says q deep impression was
made upon him on his return to the
French front after ten month spent
in recuperation from a wound that
cost him his right arm. The progress
made by England in raising and equip
ping her armies and improving her
Scigc guns. the speaker said. was al
most unbelievable.

MORE MAFIA MURDERS
Twenty-Seventh in Chicago During
the Present Year.

Chicago, Nov 27--"Little 1taly's'
third murder within a week occurred
at 4 O'clock yesterday afternoon. This
makes the twenty-seventh Malta muir
der so far this year. The police are
HELPLESS as italians who know of the
murders, by whom committed and
the reasons are afraid to talk. 1t is
impossible to secure a conviction fer
these crimes.
Joseph Diovardi, grocer at 1858 Mil
ton street, was shot three times and
instantly killed on the sidewalk in
front of a saloon at S51 Milton street.
The saloon is owned by Giro Foresti
and Frank Redisi.
Redisi, Diovardi's nephew by mar
riage, was taken to the Chicago ave-
nue. station, where, the police say, he
confessed that three days ago he
bought a revolver, which was found
after the murder in hallway so feet
from the shooting site. The revolver.
was a .32-caliber and contained two
bullets.
Redisi said that he had fired four
shots from the revolver, but did not
admit that he had fired those shots
at Diovardi.
Diovardi was shot three times,
once in the jaw and twice in the
body beneath the right lung. A fourth
bullet was found among his clothes.
Diovardi is survived by his wife
and by three children, girl 5 years
old and two boys one aged years
and the other aged l.
An unidentified Italian was found
dead in the rear of saloon con-
Quoted by Joseph Circicola and Ange-
10 Marino Saturday night. He had
been shot in the neck, breast and
heart.
James Minardi left the saloon, be-
ing stabbed in the face.

Board of Managers Request That the
Needs Of the Little Ones be Re-
membered Thanksgiving Day.

Alexandria may have many whit
are in need cf assistance but none
certainly can be more worthy thar
the inmates of the Children's Home
concerning which the Board of Mana
gers has requested the Gazette tc
rive space to the following appeal:
It can be readily understood that
the soaring of prices has not only
affected the amount necessary for
the running expenses of the Chill
drens' Home but has also lessened
the amount of donations in marked
degree, therefore the board OF
managers of the home is making an
earnest appeal that each individual
will send an offering, no matter how
small, to the Home on Thanksgiving
Day or the day previous. The aggre-
gate of small donations will be ct
manifold benefit to the home. and
not a tax on any ore.
There is not a child housed in the
home that has anywhere else to look
for home, and there has never
been worthy case of application re-
fused. In addition, numbers CT tenn
porary cases of distress are cared
for. If you have anything in your
own life to the thankful for, will you
not make a thank offering to your
own institution for needy ones?
The management of the home
would like to thank everyone who
has aided in the past in supporting
so worthy a cause and to thank those
in advance who will hearken to this
appeal. Anything in the line of pro-
visions, money or clothing will be
gratefully appreciated.
Our endeavor, through this ap-
peal, is to keep the little bodies
warm, sufficiently clothed and fed
during the winter season and if
erasYone wiiNil be thoughtful enough
to contribute his or her mite this
can be accomplished.

COMPLICATIONS WITH BERLIN

Berlin. Nov. 2l-,A period of COM
plications may again be impending
n German-Amcrcan relations.
Gcrmany's conduct Of submarine
warfare has brought forth an abun-
dan; crop of American inquiries, of
which Joseph c. Grew, the American
charge. recently has filed no less
han ten, five of them yesterday.
Six remained TO be answered, in.
rluding the cases of the Marina, on
which number of Americans .ap-
reared tn be killed. and the liner
Arabia. sinking of which the Ameri
can government declares to be ihcon-
sistent with the promises OF the
German government regarding the
treatment Of passenger liners.
The United States bases its attl-
tudc in the case Of the Arabia on the
assumption that it vas unalmed and
torpcdocd without warning, and -
irablc to see that there was justltica-
ton for forcing the passengers INTO
the boats. Washington believes the
submarine commander, on ascertain
ing that there were women and chl:-
drcn on the decks. should have re-
Trained from making an attack.
Germany in the four cases. in re-
gard to which replies already have
been made. was found to have fairy
convincing answers, which it is be-
!icvcd may put quite a different as
,,cct on affairs. 1t is pointed out here,
for example. that. according to teS"
tin,ony of her own passengers, th"
Arabia was armed and used her car
ron; that the sea was smooth anc
that other vessels we're near. 1t is
argued that the Arabia, having on
board large number of coolie war
workers, should ne regarded as 4
transport.

ROADS AND FARM VALUES

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 27--To
determine as far as possible the ex-
act dollars and cents effect on a
county of the improvement of bad
roads, SPECIALISTS Of the Office OF
Public Roads and Rural Engineering
of the U. S. Department of AgrIcui-
ture made economic surveys IN 3
counties in each Of the years from
1910 to 1915, inclusive.
This study of the increase IN the
values of farm lands in the eight
counties reveals the rather interest
ing fact that following the improve
ment of the main market roads the
increase in the selling price of till
able farm lands served by the roads
has amounted to from one to three
times the total cost of the improve
ments. The increase in values II
those instances which were recorded
ranged from 63 per cent to oO per
cent in spotsylvania County, Va
from 68 to 1914 in Dinwiddie County
Va; 10 to 80 in Lee County, Va
25 to 100 in Wise County, Va; 8 tc
ia in Franklin County, N. Y; 81
to 100 in Dallas County, Ala; % tc
so in Lauderable County, Miss;
and from 50 to 100 in Manatee Coun
ty, Fla, The estimates Of increase
were based for the most part upor

Union PRAYER MEETINGS
70 be Held by the Women of the City

The ladies in charge of the prayer
meeting services to be held in the
city have sent to the Gazette the fol-
loving
Tonight at 1880 o'clock there will
be union prayer meeting for wo-
men at the First Baptist church. The
service will be led by Capt. McCrea
of the Salvation Army. We hope the
women of the several churches will
be present. 1t has been considered
eypedient to discontinue the parlor
prayer meetings for the present.
Each of the churches have mid-week
services. The girls prayer meeting
at the Girls Club and Rest Room, 92l
King street, will be continued each
week. These prayer meetings are
held at s p. M, on Thursdays except
this week when the date has been
changed to Tuesday at s o'clock. All
girls and women are invited to at
tend. The weekly prayer service at
the Home for the Aged is UNION
service at 8 o'clock each Friday al
tcrnoon. The weekly prayer service
will also be continued at the jail ana
the city Home.
The parlor prayer meetings, have
so beautifully, brought about Chris
tian unity among our Christian wo-
men and have brought US a grea'
blessing. 1t is hoped that this spirit
NAV continue in the various Christian
activities. If at any time, in cases OF
sickness in home, or where there
is a shut-in, a special parlor prayer
meeting is desired, the committee
will be glad to arrange for it if the
REQUEST be sent to them.
The members of the committee
wish to express their sincere thanks
and appreciation to the Alexandria
Gazette for the frequent and willing
publication of the various notices
they have sent to it. The Gazette
has helped very materially in the
great success of these meetings.
