May, 1915. She did not declare war
on Germany until August, 1916 Ger
many ostensibly took no warlike part
against italy. But early in June, 1915,
Italian mine sweepers near an Ital-
ian naval base in the Adriatic found
barrier of twelve mines. They
cleared these away. A few days later
they found similar barrier in the
same place. These could only have
been placed by a submarine, so the
Italians decided to set a watch for
it.
Finally, in March, 1916, an Italian
mine sank the hostile submarine in
comparatively shoal waters, and the
Italians decided to fish her up and
have a look at her.
They found she was the L. C. y,
built at the Weser yards by the Ger
man firm of Ditta-Siemens-S chuckart
It's log revealed some interesting
facts.
Said the commander: After trial
trip on the Weser, was towed through
Kiel canal May, 1915. At Kiel landed
mines to be used in Italian waters.
Alter trials, sent in three pieces by
rail to Pola, arriving June "a, 1915.
Put together l exchanged German
for Austrian flag"
The log also records that the ship
Italian waters, carried rifles to an
African port for the rebels against
Italy, and cruised near Durazzo, seek
ing Italian ships. The crew all were
German.
Germany, at peace with us, plots
to have Mexico and Japan make war
upon us. Germany, at peace with
Italy. send German submarines to lay
mines in Italian harbors.
And still there are some pro-Ger-
mans in this country who wonder why
the allies are determined to put an
end to Prussianism

ONE OF THE ESSENTIALS.

What will win this war for democ-
racy?
Answering that question a hundred
and one things have been advanced
as vital and essential.
Ships, food, money, loans, man
power, efficient business mobiliza
ton, airplanes-these things are
more or less emphasized as being the
weapons that will bring about the
downfall of tyranny and aggression
and give to the world a permanent
peace and prosperity
No one will dispute that all these
Things Will contribute to ultimate vic
tory for the cause we have espoused.
But we submit that unity of civil.
ians is the essential condition of vic
tory.
Germany realizes this; hence the
intensive cultivation and dissemina-
ton of discussion germs among the
civilians c. other countries and the
careful control of any organ Of pub
licity that would spread discomfort
among Germany's own people.
The continuous discussion of peace
terms is an insidious effort, fostered
by Germany, to stir up the civilian
population OF those opposed to Ger
man ambition and methods, by get
ting the nerve" of the civilian.
The average civilian has little
knowledge of the problems discus
5ions Of peace have brought forth.
The voluminous offerings of political
and economic experts on the many
phases of peace, puzzle and perplex
us.
Take the Balkan and Bohemian sit.
uation for instance. The question OF
their freedom or disposition is but
one of the many problems that are
provokingly discussed.
Practically possessed of
bat small knowledge that is danger
ous-the civilian is apt to develop
the feeling that this war is futile e
that things will never be settled
That is exactly what Germany
wants. They would have us become
disguised, apprehensive, wondering if
these aggressive interests will ever
be downed, doubling if this fight to
make the world safe for democracy
will not end in 1izzle.
Germany is banking upon this nerv-
Gus prosttation.
1t is for the civilian to keep his
nerve. This three years agony should
stand as a warning to all civilians
and the pacifst organizations will
preach peace continuously, branded
by Americans as part of the kaiser's
outfit

GERMANYS TREATMENT or
ITALY.

In fighting foe it is just as well
to get a perfect picture of what kind
of foe he is
The trickery of Germany is pretty
well known to the American people
by now But there are still some
who wonder why Italy withdrew from
the triple alliance and fought the Teu-
tons instead of lining up with them.
The fact is, Italian statesmen knew
long ago the two kaisers were con
stantly abusing the terms Of the al
lance and making italy pay the
freight. Recently there has come to
light a glaring instance.

GOOD WORK WELL DONE.

1t is a pleasure to learn that Two
matters, which have formed the chlel
topic of conversation in many gam
erings in Alexandria during the past
few months, We're taken up ana
settled last night by the City Council
in a manner which should meet with
the hearty approval of the majority
of the residents of the city.
We refer to the placing OF Tags
on the school buildings and the re-
pairs and proper care that are to be
given to the handsome bronze drink
ing fountain at the corner OF Cam
,eron and Royal streets which was
presented to the city by the Daugh-
tiers of the American Revolution.
The Gazette is especially gratihed
at the action taken, and takes Its
first opportunity to congratulate the
members of both bodies of the Coun-
ell for doing the thing that ought to
be done in each instance.

CASE OF SENATOR STONE.
Baltimore SUM


1t seems to us that in permitting
Senator Stone to remain at the heal
of its Foreign Relations Committee
/ the Senate is making itself privy
to what is almost equivalent to a
national humiliation The Democratic
majority is mainly responsible for
this conformation Of an objectionable
offense, but at such crisis as this
| it is the business of every Senator
to safeguard the national honor and
the national interest. That not one
of them has protested against the
scandal and reproach which Stones
retention in such a position involves
must fill every patriotic heart with a
mingled sense of shame and indigna-
ton. Do Senators place Senatorial
privilege and Senatorial courtesy
above public duty and public welfare?
Time was when members of the Sen
ate did not hesitate to speak thel"
minds freely with regard to their
associates as we'll as with regard to
public. measures. AVE have gained
something possibly in manners by the
easy tolerance of the present epoch,
but have we not lost something In
manhood, and in fearless denuncia
ton of wrong, without respect to
persons?
The Missouri Senator is still one of
the few members of that body who
appear to be out of sympathy with
their country He is still apparently
lined up with the German element
in his State, whose support and whose
opinions he values more highly
than those of his countrymen. Such
Senator in such place as the
craftsmanship of the Foreign Rela-
tons Committee at time like this
is not merely disgrace to us, but
danger. During the filibuster de-
bate in the closing hours of the last
Congress he made public navy
secret of Importance and tried to
get information with regard to an
other secret in which the German
Government is very much interes-
ted. Is there no member Of the
Senate courageous enough to make
this point as question of national
privilege? If Stone is allowed to 90
unrabuked, will not others, in and
out of public life, be encouraged to
hamper and hamstring the Govern
mcnt?

A GROSS INJUSTICE.


During the past few weeks, or
since it became apparent that Ger
many would defy the United States
by continuing her submarine warfare
regardless of the rights of neutrals,
there has been disposition upon the
part of some misguided Americans
to look upon all German-Amcrlcan
citizens with suspicion. That some
were Incorporate in their observa-
tions so long as the United States
remained spectator OF the conflict
now going on, in Europe is, OF course.
well-known, but now that our coun-
try is. seemingly, about to be at
tackled by Germany, many Teutonic-
born persons throughout the country
are letting it be known that under
present conditions they are Ameri-
cans, and can be nothing else. Hav-
ing taken the oath of allegiance to
the United States and becoming nat
uralized, they are Americans and
naturally want the people Of their
adopted country to know it.
There are indiscrect people among
all classes upon the earth. some in
Alexandria-who since relations be-
tween our country and Ger
many have become acute have said
things it would have been better to
have suppressed. But this small
corporal's guard By no means repre-
sents true AleXandrians nor genuine
German-Americans in our old city,
who have ever been with us when
patriotism was in evidence. We
should remember that when the Stars
and Bars were unfurled in 1861 Ger
man residents of Alexandria es-
poused the cause Of their adopted
land and followed the fortunes o.
the Southern Confederacy Some of
them are still among us. Even so
now the whole-souled German is
ready to fight for the Stars and
Stripes when the time comes.
Thoughtless and rash people have
ever been in evidence in every coun-
try and city. We have some here
who had better stop. look and listen.
In the parable of the tares the hus
bandmen were anxious to go forth
and root up the spurious growth,
hat they were stopped with the
timeiyS admontion, "lest We root up

y large percentage of our people
are OF the German-American class.
When it became apparent that the
issue was to be the Kaiser or the
President, they were quick to hoist
the Stars and Stripes in front of
their homes and places of business.
In conversation with an old and
respected resident of German birth
