ssHRs LOVE CAESAR. BUT ROME
7sJ..S% -, MORE

An interview between a prominent
and useful Alcxandrian ard a repre-
sentative of Washington paper,
concerning the probabilities Of plac-
ing the government arnor plant IN
this city, gave resume Of the brief
which is to be presented in behalf oil
alexandria. The article was sub
staatially printed in the Gazette OF
same day. The superior adXan-;
zayr,s of Alexandria were succinctly
form and We believe they will
appeal to Secretary Daniels and the
General Board of the Navy Depart
ment.
rs the article appeared in. the
Washington paper it contained sug-
gestion that Alexandria might even
tually be absorbed by the District
of Columbia and become what it was
prior to 1916.
Every AleXandrian is sincerely
DESTROYS that our city will secure the
armor plant, and our people are ready
to pay any reasonable price for this
great desideratum, but great ma
jority are averse to dissolving their
relations with the Old Dominion
in order to expand their commercial
Importance.
A few good citizens have at times
been impressed with arguments of
certain persons who arc FESTIVE and
never at ease if compelled to endure
any relations or conditions for short
time, no matter how pleasant and
satisfactory they are to others. And
while We have the greatest respect
for those who still show traces of
the retrocession fever, We prefer to
live under the coat Of arms Of Vir-
ginia. The Goddess Of Liberty has
been deprived of much of her locks
in times past-the chopping off of en-
ough Of her territory which COM
priseS what is now known as West
Virginia, and we do not believe our
iple will voluntarily be parties to
ETv more spoliations along that line.

PRAYERS FOR PEACE.

Elsewhere it will be seen that the
Pope Sis earnestly praying for the
fetuaA of the dove of peace to TINS
planet. The pontif has been thus
& enesa sd for some time, or ever since
thu sword was drawn from the scab-
bard. The words, "The kingdom OF
heaven is taken by violence and the
violent take it by force" IS the toe
sin of the holy see.
During the present season when
the great Day of Atonement brings
all Israelites to the throne OF grace,
the present generation of Hebrews,
are crying nightly to Jehovah for
peace. Jews in all wars are placed
upon the anvil by the different bel
ligerents. Members of this ancient
race are in all armies, and brothers
are fighting brothers in the trenches
on the somme and in the rifle pits of
the eastern war zone. Those left at
their homes are ill-treated and Pill
LACED first by one army and then the
other.
Prayers Were offered in thousands
of synagogues throughout the United
States and toe world at large yes
terday for speedy termination Of
the awful conflict which is devastat-
ing large portion of the globe.
The Israelite is told to Spray for
the peace of Jerusalem" He has no
capital city Of his own, nor has he
had any during many centuries.
Hence he is not. praying for his an
Gent home, but for, the countries in
which his lot has long. been cast.

INFLUX IN CHURCHES.

The fruits of the recent revival SER
vices in Alexandria were apparent
yesterday, every church being filled
with worshippers. Men and women
who had long neglected ningling
with the people who realize that the
spiritual life is all or nothing, re-
appeared and We're joyfully greeted,
while large numbers who never re-
cognized the claims of the Creator
were present manifesting interest
in the services. There was genuine
Joy In each congregation, a JOY all
nope will be- perpetuated.
We sometimes suspect that our
readers think We have devoted too
mach space to this all-important sub
ject. bat when we realize that good
Christians make the best citizens,
it is apparent that this matter should
receive much of our space.
Ills late revival movement has left
:c.any echoes in our Old city. Plans
were loamulated yesterday to inter-

poLYGLoT CONDITIONS.

It is often suggested that entire
communities in small and newly-form-
ed towns and villages in the west do
not speak English. They dwell among
themselves and naturally continue to
use their mother tongues.
On the East Side of New York,
most of the residents of certain
streets are Israelites. They speak
their own tongue, and Hebrew letters
are used on their signs, while their
papers are printed in the dialect used
previous to the Jewish captivity;
twenty-five hundred years ago.
Cinnamon follow the example of the
Israelites in the same locality.
The United States Bureau of Edu-
cation is engaged in the commend
able work of inducing immigrants to
the United States to attend night
schools, and chambers of Commerce
throughout the country are engaged
in this campaign. The Department
of the Interior is urging all such or
CARNATIONS to vie in the work.
In 1910, 6,5ss,711 foreign-born
whites were employed in the various
industries and lines of business ac-
tivity. Until the war started, this
number was added TO very greatly by
immigration at the rate of mil
lion a year. Over 1,462,134 adult
males, most of whom are wage-earn-
ers, do not speak English, and con-
sequently are an added problem to
industry in the administration and
management Of plants.

This comparison is made in cons
nectipn with his power to lure the
imagination back to the country IN
which Jesus lived at the time ne lived
in it. He paints some beautiful pic
lures of the Holy Land in the olden|
times.
Z. AS to the authors viewpoint OF

;evitable that each one of US, in ac-
cordance with our individual tent

MIR. Wells Book,
Mr.. Wells new novel gives one ali
absorbingly interesting view of the
effect Of the war upon the personal
life of the English people. The or
binary reader will find it clever and
penetrating as are all Mr.. Wells
writings, without, however, the strain
which he so often imposes upon the
intellect of people not accustomed te
intensive thinking. 1t will perhaps
rank as one Of the most popular Of
the authors recent productions. It
has also a strong sociological as well
rs readable value We are all as much,
if not more so, interested in the con-
dition of tine people not at war IN the
countries involved in the great con-
1ict as in those actually at the front.

burn Child, E. P. Dutton and Com
pany.
In addition to being one of the
most graceful and sympathetic OF
writer's Of current fiction MIR. Child
| is fortunate in the possession OF an
intimate knowledge of Russia. This
country, with China, is one of the
countries which has a strong hold
upon the imagination of a great
majority of people. 1t clossal posi-
bilities; it's vast eXpanse; the fact
hat so little is known concerning It,
make it of absorbing interest. 1t is
fortunate that Mr.. Child should have
tarned the instincts of the humani-
tartan, the precision of the historian,
and the power to write already alluded
20 into an effort to portray the future

ghile book, this of which we speak.
