10 take no German prisoners and give
no quarter.
A Philadelphia exchange in COM
menting upon the above says it
would be venturesome to guess what
this volunteer reporter saw that
could give him the impression he
wished to convey of German brutality,
Crucifxes are features of every way
side in France and Belgium. They are
frequently affixed to the sides of build
ings and are often of life-size. That
such figures could be mistaken for
Canadian sergeants is hard to believe
but our exchange says it is willing
to give the recounter the benefit of
the doubt. We do not believe, how
ever, that the Germans committed
the atrocity insinuated; nor do we
believe that an order was even given
by British commander, or the COM
mander Of any other army engaged
in this war, to take no prisoners and
give no quarter, but kill all enemies
without mercy. This part of the story
discredits the rest.

GLOOMY
OUTLOOK.

A number of opinions of promi-
nent citizens and officials of Ger
many on the probable duration Of
the war arc at times being published,
out that there is no hope for an
early peace. 1t is believed that the
present losses will be practically
doubled before the war fever sub
sides.
The Richmond Virginian in this
connection says the situation is truly
nitiablc. None of the involved people
can give a really intelligent answer
to a question as to why they are
fighting.
Sir Hiram Maxim says the war
started because one man had the
most efficient army in the world and
wanted to see what he could do with
it. He is seeing.
/ The Germans declare that every
body knows they are ready for peace
negotiations, but that they arc pre-
pared to see the thing throug': TO
the end.
It's all wrong, according to the
views of the sane people of the world
this thing of killing and being kill
ed out Of sheer wantonness-,and that
is what it amounts to.
What could the allies gain by virtual
humiliation of the central powers
that would be worth the lives Of
the millions they must give and take
to win?
And suppose unrightcously harsh
peace terms arc eXacted by the win.
ners ip this war. Does anyone be,
licvc that it would mean anything
but another war later on with al
the horrors of the present multiplied ?

RUSSIA FOR
LONG WAR.

! Russia is preparing for long war,
with no thought that autumn will
witness a close of the action. In
sharp contradiction to the perfervid
and Unbalanced words of the German.
Kaiser, in which inveterate hate and
animosity of the foe are pictured in
lurid words, may be set the statement
of General Chouvaleff, Russian min
lister of war. Explaining why Ger
many is adding greatly to it's reserve
he says that cit is necessary to dis
pei the illusion that the war can end
in the autumn. The breaking down
of the enemy's forces has already be-
gun-a fact as we'll known By the
Germans as by the Entente Allies
but Germany's technique is so high
that, in spite Of her economic weak
ening and the lowered morale of her
troops, she still has the power to re-
sist, and we must look forward to a
further struggle before the final VIC
tory"
The Baltimore American says il The
Allies would agree to close the war
Germany would rejoice. But the AL
lies show no sign of giving up. They
hold to their determination to fight
until the great war machine Of the
Germans has been destroyed. The
neutral world will surely demand
that the era of peace for the world
shall be inaugurated, with basis
of relatively small armament, and
this to be used conformity by the
powers against any country that
seeks to make breach of the peace
and refuses the Offices of Cancellation.

ONLY HOPE OF
NEUTRAL NATIONS.

Herr Professor Won Stengel, who
occupies the chair of international
law in the University of Municn, has
lust given the world another illustra-
ton of the state of one section of
the German mind. Writing to an in
uuirer in Holland, who wanted to be
informed what neutra. nations should
do to be saved, Professor Won Stengel
says: "The natidks, and especially
the neutral nations. have only one
means of leading a profitable en-
istencc. 1t is to submit to our guild
ance, which is superior from every
point of view" And then the kindly
soul continues:
"The whole course Of the war up to
the present has shown that we &cr-
mans have been chosen by Provi-
dence from among all the other peo-
pie to march at the head of all civiliz-
ed nations and lead them under our
protection toward assured peace. For
we not only have the power and
force necessary for this mission, but
! but we also possess all the spiritual
I,gifts to the highest degrees, and in
all creation it is we who constitute
the crown of civilization.
If this really represented the view
point of the whole German people
there would be nothing for the a
lies to do, as the New York Evening
Post says, "but to go on with the
war until the nonsense was shellec
! out Of German heads" The Rich
mond Times-Dispatch says fortu,
natcly, there are reason to believe thai
such folly no longer is swallowed
whole. Germans are thinking now fol
themselves, and they are very likely
to requite bitterly the leaders who
! have filled their minds with false
philosophy and corrupted their souls
with false ethics.

CASE OF JUSTICE
CRUTCHFIELD.

A Richmond paper suggests that
back of the controversy now waging
between the departments of the
capital city of the state and the
Police Court lies fault which may be
traced to the public and, it must be
admitted, to the press. Years ago il
became apparent that the present
Police Justice possessed a certain
] quick rough humor, and was not
averse to indulging it on the bench
From, that day, the trouble began
and it has grown with the years
fostered by the public and the press
which delighted in quoting. exag-
gerating and fabricating sallies,
jokes and bits of repartee which
emanated-or were supposed to have
emanated-from the Police Court
bench.
Quite naturally, all this had its
effect on the occupant, who became
imbued with the idea that the public
looked to him for comedy at every
session. And, as time went on, he
lost his perspective, so to speak,
and failed to recognize what was
proper and what improper as comedy
material. Therefore, the ridicule CT
city officers and serious men engag-
ed in serious business.
The truth is, the Police Court is no
place for comedy. Its courtroom is
resorted to, for the most part, by men
and women who require the majesty
of the law to be impressed on them
by every outward sign and symbol
of dignity. 1t is the court closest to
the people, and SO should be the court
to which they look with unqualii ID
and instant respect. And it isn't too
late to make it so.
The above observations are time
ly. 1t has been suggested that humor-
lists, so-called, who manage to fight
their way into Congress fail to adj
vance themselves from the fact that
they are never regarded seriously.
1t was so with "Sunset" Cox and
others, who were successful latter
dinner" speakers, but who were not
so much in demand when important
or serious matters were to be con-
The late Lewis Mckenzie,
of Alexandria, who represented this
district in the House of Representa-
tives in 1S70-1S71, was Of this genus.
He generally discomfitted his ad-
by his humor.
Justice Crutchfcld has long en-
joyed state reputation. AleXan-
lrians who occasionally visit Rich
nond would look upon their trip as
lninteresting were they not to at
END session of his court.
