1NpoRsEs, ENFORCED PEACE.

Makers, interpreters and admins
traitors of law in the Southern States
have put themselves on record IN
favor of a constructive scheme ot
world craftsmanship intended to IN
sure peace with justice for the nations
after the present war is over: "A
number of Southern Senators and
Representatives in Congress have
written to VIM. H. Taft, President
of the League to Enforce Peace, in
dorsing the program of that organi-
zation.
"The purposes of the League to
Enforce Peace meet my earnest con-
currence,' writes Andrew j. Monta-
que, Representative from the Third
District Of Virginia. "The Juridlelal
system obtaining within nations must
sooner or later, obtain in some form
between nations. Flew its judgments
arc to be effectuated will afford room
For differences of opinion; but the in
terests of civilization deserve and
demand some method of enforce
ment."

PLEASANT INCIDENT RECALLED

During the early part of the VIM
+or If 1904. while a strike was IN
nropress in the anthracite regions
of Pennsylvania, great anxiety pre-,
yai,ed concerning the prospects OF
procuring coal, the great deslderatum
while. snow is flying. during eha'
memorable winter this commoaiVs
sold as high as nine dollars ton IN
Alexandria. Coal merchants in TINS
city had banks of coal in their yafoS
at the time which had been purchas-
ed during the previous summer at
normal figures and which the hrm
purposed to furnish people OF Alex
andria at old prices. washington
dealers came over and offered sub
stantial advances on regular prices
Offering to take the entire supply anu
to remove the coal at their own OK
pense. The offers were declined and
coal was furnished to Alexandrans
during the winter season at Ola
prices.
Anxiety as to the supply OF Goa!
is again in evidence. This is especial
-ly so in Washington. and attempts
are made to deplete the supply IN Al
exandria in order that the people OF
the capital city may suffer no IN
convenience. "A day or two ago par
ties from that city came to the Alex
sTfs9 lis and offered tempting
prices be entire stock on hand
s30ait b armed over to them. The
wpl4ld-ls2 shrchasers offered to send
tnsir tS1c!is here and carry the coal
ayVay ). sheir own expense. The of
f4r '8 respectfully declined by the
proprietors of the yards for the same
reasons given twelve years ago.
1t affords the Gazette sincere pleas
are to call attention to such evidences
of loyalty to Alexandria's people on
The part of its business houses.

MARTIN FOR LEADER

1t was announced in the Gazette
last week that Senator Martin, of
Virginia, was prominent candidate
FOR Majority Leader of the Senate
in the near future. While papers in
his own state have naturally given
much prominence to this movement
it is gratifying to know that the use
fitness of the senior Senator from
Virginia is appreciated by many out
side his state. The following from
the Washington Post of this morn
ing will be read with pleasure by Mr..
Martins many friends throughout
the country:
The Democrats having a safe ma
Jorlty in the Senate, the question of
selecting a leader to succeed Mr.
Kern, of Indiana, will engage the at
!ention Of that side of the chamber.
Mr. Kern was ably assisted at all
times by Mr.. Martin, Of Virginia,
chairman Of the committee on APP
preparations, and much OF the credit
Of the Democratic party's accomplish
n,c11ts during the last four years be-
longs to MIR. Martin. 1t would be
fitting and prudent to select him as
the majority leader Of the Senate.
Mr.. Martins experience as leg;s-
!asor has been extensive. and his
knaw!etlge of governmental affairs
is caua;ed by few public men. His
attitude as head of the great COM
niitssc which exerts potent control
over governmental expenditures has
been acceptable both to his eollea-.
gaes and to the country. Taking a,
broad view of the activities of the
government, and at the same time
kecping q watchful eye on indivi-t
dual items, Mr. Martin has pursued
a course that was neither parsimon-
ious nor prcaigal. In the fierce cam
paien debates the opposition was I'M
able to ind anything in the record of
the appropriations committee 70 dis
credit the Demo Observation-Disclosures
or the psrSr. On the contrary, the
country Registered distinct approval
Of tthe uairtter in which the govern

No nlcritorious agency or activity
OF The government was starved: mo

denied funds; but the committee un-
der Mr:i Martins guidance carefully
eliminated extravaeant sud useless
expenditures.

British Strike Blow After Blow in
the Valley of the Ancre

London. Nov. l5-Without allowing
the Germans moments pause to
recuperate from the sudden thrust in
the Falley of the Ancre before dawn
Monday, the British during the last

blow on this new battlefield, adjoin-
ing that of the Somme.
In the ferocity Of the attacks, as
we'll as in the measure of success al
ready scored, the battle now under
way astride the Ancre brook bids
fair to rival, if not Guido, the great
Somme combat.
Capture of the village Of Beaucourt

days fighting. Having flung his
claws into the western outskirts Of
this hamlet--small, but strategic

HUGHES OFF FOR
 CLEVELAND STUMP
Voice Shows Improvement After
 Rest Of Yesterday

Dayton, Ohio, Sept. 26.-Charles E. Hughes left Dayton early today, the second day of his campaign through Ohio, for Cleveland, where he will speak tonight. The comparative rest to his voice yesterday when he ad- dressed only three audiences as con- trasted with the dozen or more daily while travelling through Indiana last week, had benefited him, and while he was still somewhat hoarse his voice showed distinct improvement.
 Mr. Hughes program for today was changed at the last minute to include stops at Findlay and Bowling Green, on the way to Toledo. A stay of near ly four hours in Toledo was on the program. After leaving Toledo, Mr. Hughes will address audiences at Port Clinton, Sandusky and Elyria, thirty minute stops being scheduled for each place. He was due to reach Cleveland at 5:45 D. m., and to re- main there over night.
 From Cleveland Mr. Hughes will journey east, making an address at Pittsburgh tomorrow and addresses at Trenton, N. J., and Saratoga Springs, N. Y., Thursday. The nom- inee's program also calls for address, es at Akron and Canton O., tomor- row.

SCHOOL BOYS FOR WILSON.
Youngsters All Over City Wearing
 Democratic Buttons

A straw vote among the school boys of the city at this time would without doubt give a big majority for Wood- row Wilson for resident if the num- Der of Wilson buttons being worn is any criterion. Although school only opened yesterday politics among the youngsters Is warming to the boiling point and some of the arguments be- ing advanced in favor of the demo- cratic nominee shows that they are keenly alive to the issues of the day and know why they favor Wilson for president. It isn't a case as it used to be of my fathers a democrat and so am it." The kids these days read the papers and are keen on political conditions
 One boy, whose father is a republi- can, came home from school this noon and said Gee, pa, why don't you get on the band wagon and be for Wilson. All the kids in our school are for him, he kept us out of the war and he's going to be elected"

INSISTS EXPRESS
 IGNORED SIGNALS
Train Dispatcher Says Gilt Edge Engineer Ran Past Warming

Westerly, R. l., Sept. 26.-F'urther 1nsistance that the signals in the Bradford yard of the Y., N. H. 6 Gilt Edge express on the night of April 17, when it crashed into a local train, killing five persons, marked the closs examination today of John Mc- CIuskey, the Bradford train dispatch CT at the trial of Charles H. Mansfield foNew Haven, Conn.,, engineer of the express on a charge of manslaughter.
 When the Gilt Edge passed the distance signal, which was set at cau- ton, l supposed it would stop at the first home signal" McCluskey testi- fled. "So I did nothing until 1t Lassed the first home mark and then l had my assistant swing a lantern from the tower house, but the express went on. I think it was making fifty miles an hour"
 Although certain from the position of the levers in the tower that the signals were properly set against the express, McCluskey said he ran up the track to see if the first home signal was in order T found it set at 'stop,'' he testified.
 Questioned by the defendants S counsel the dispatcher said it was pos sible that a signal might show clear v authough the levers indicated "stop.'' He did not examine the distant signal after the wreck, he stated, but sug- gested to a signal inspector of the road that he do so.
