say as the heavenly host sang, "Peace

Oh, Heavenly Father, bring them and

by the sacrifice made by thy Son for
the worlds redemption.
Our Father, may the world become
Christianized from all other religions
and PHILOSOPHERS. not merely In name,

brotherhood. oh Lord, let us all who

thou gavest to the world be so con-

the town had changed from a village

THE CAMPBELLS ARE
 COMING AT AMUSU

The name of the clan of the Camp bells, not so many years ago in Scot land, was used by mothers to frighten the disobcdient into obedience, and the prowess of the hardy highlanders was d household word. Around this dread ed cry, "The Campbells Are Coming" ," Francis Ford has builded a story of the Indian rebellion, when the Sepoys tried to overthrow British rule in their country. It will he served in five reels at the Amuzu today. It is a somewhat different tale of east Indian cunning and the daring charges of the Scotch regiment, "The Campbells," who, like the ancient clan, were most feared in India. With the biz reeler as an added feature, the management of the Amuzu is offering today the first and only pictures ever taken and exhibited of the great Roosevelt dam spllling it's waters over the cement abutments of the giant lake. This picture shows the flood waters tumbling over the spill ways like a miniature Niagara It is worth, so those who witnessed the re- view say double the price asked at the door.

SUFFRAGE GAINING
BUT DEFEATED.

The vote Of the Virginia Legisla-
ture yesterday on the submission Of
the question of Won1an's Suffrage to
the people of the state, registers a
remarkable change in the sentiment
of the Legislature. In 1914 when the
first appeal for the submission on the
question was made only thirteen leg
islators voted in favor of it, while
the present vote was forty for put
ting the question to vote OF the
people. While glad to note the groth
of sentiment in favor Of suffrage in
Virginia as everywhere, We regret
that the legislature did not vote to
submit this proposition to the people
of the state. 1t does not matter how
one may feel upon this proposition,
OF suffrage for women, the indispu-
table right of the people to express
their opinion, is Of paramount I'M
portance. While the increase in senti-
ment favoring equal suffrage IS re-
cognized everywhere, there is a still
mere wide spread and potent belief
in the rights of the people, to eX-
press themselves, upon the vital SUBJ
jccts pertaining to the welfare Of the
state. Whenever the voters have had
an opportunity to register themselves
in favor of direct government BY
the people they have never failed &c

glad to note that j. Fred Birrell, re-
from this city and coun-
ty in the legislature, voted in favor
of this amendment. Alexandria has
reason to be proud of the progress

sativcs, both in the state and the fed
