GOOD ORDER IN THE CITY
No Cases of Disorder Reported in Al
exandria During Past Forty
eight Hours.

Although Alexandria. has grown
during the past year and half TO
double its former size, the serenity OF
the present summer. that is so far
as actual cases of disorder are con-
cerned. is the cause of comment.
There was virtually but one case OF
violation of law reported by the police
from Saturday night to this morning,
and that Of a trivial nature. A man
operating an automobile had made
too short turn at the intersection OF
King and st. Asaph streetE. He ac-
knowledged that he had violated the
law, but more thoughtlessly than ce-
liberately, and paid one dollar line.
In this connection it may be stated
that this act is often noticed by peo-
ple passing along the streets. 1t is
dangerous, as machine coming rom
IN opposite direction, while hugglng
the right, should it not have room to
pass the turning auto, a COLLISION
would be inevitable.
The policemen are still on the hunt
for persons who have failed to secure
licenses for dogs. Two colored per-
sons we're before the Police Court
this morning charged with harboring
unlicensed CANNES. They alleged
that they were not the owners OF the
animals, but the names of those re-
sponsible for them were secured and
should no license be obtained they
will be made to face the cours.
In returning to the tranquility OF
the city, it may again be said that
Alexandria is twice the size 1t was II
the early part of 1915. A year ind
half ago part of the new high school
building would nave been in AleXan'
dria county, ouaside the city limits
That structure is now in the center OF
the present city of Alexandria. Not
withstanding the increased area th'
members of the police force manage
to keep good order.

PASSAGE OF ARMY BILL
Fitting Climax to 20 years Service
of Virginia Congressman.
(By Special Correspondent.)

Washington, D. c., Aug. 21.-The
passage by Congress at this session
of the Army bill, commonly referred
to as. the National Defense Act; the
Volunteer Army law; the Aviation
Corps law; the Military Academy bill;
doubling the unmber of cadets, and
several other bills of prime import
ance in building up our army, was a
fitting climax to the twenty-years
service in Congress of James Hay
who was the prime factor in the form
alton of this group of legislation.
Mr.. Hay will conclude on Sept. sc
twenty years of service in the House
Of Representatives from the Seventh
district of Virginia. On Sept. 3Otf
his resignation as Congressman be-
comes effective and he will become
Judge of the United States Court Of
Appeals to which he was appointed
by President Wilson. In all that time
he has been one ;of the leading mem
bers of that body and during the pas
six years as chairnanio iof the Military
Affairs committee has taken the prin
cipal part in framing legislation in re
gard to our army, the enormous I'M
portance of which time alone can full!
illustrate.
The legislation prepared and pu
through Congress this session, mos
of it personally written by Mr.: Hay
will work such enormous reorganiza
tion in the methods, equipment, per
sohnel and system of the arm!
that considerable time will be re
quired to fully realize its benefits
When that time comes it can safel!
be predicted that those who have crit
icized Mr.. Hay in the past six month
in connection with this legislation
will then be strongest in his praise

strengthened rather than weakened
it. lie also said that some means must
lie found to prevent The existing sit
nation from ever arising again.

ences among themselves. The labor
leaders, who already have approved
the proposal, marked time awaiting
a definite decision from the en-
ployers.
President Wilson said: "What l an

that nothing be conceded except the
