INSIST ON HEAVIER PENALTIES

As will be seen elsewhere in the
Gazette Guy T. Horner and Thomas
Whitehead, special attorneys under
Prohibition Commissioner j. Sidney
Peters, employed to aid in the pres
ec.tion of violations Of the prohlbl-
ton law, the former in the eastern
and the latter in the western district,
have addressed circular letter to
the Commemorative attorneys ana
others concerned throughout the
State calling attention to the fact
that persons convicted OF violations
of the Virginia Statewide prosnlnl-
tioh law from now on will be requlr-
ed to give bond of $500 to S3,oos'
the court having discretion to fix the
amount between those figures, ana
failure to furnish the bond, which
shall be a guarantee that the accused
will not violate the law again within
a year, will mean an addition OF SIX
months in Jail to the sentence pre-
scribed by the court.
Since the prohibition law went m
to effect prcsons brought before the
Corporation Court in Alexandria
charged with it's violation, wien the
cases were proven, received the mini
mum sentence-fifty dollars fine and
thirty days in Jail. In future, now
ever, violators of the law will be
made to pay heavier penalties.
Manv cases of drunkenness are
brought before the Police Court every
month. The delinquents Invariably
aver they obtain their liquor III
Washington, This assertion, however
is not generally believed, as 1t is
evident liquor is being procured
somewhere in Alexandria.

ROOSEVELT AROUSES
AUDIENCE.

Before an audience that packed
the Metropolitan Opera House III
philadelphia yesterday afternoon, Tor
mer President Roosevelt voiced MS
criticism of present-day conditions IN
,nmistakable terms and arouseo
more than 1900 men and women to a
high pitch of enthusiasm when he de-
nounced Prussiauism and demanded
that the new national army be based
on the Preach and democratic model
Conscientious DIRECTORS. among other
things he said, would be summary
disfranchiscd and placed on mine
swcepers and other equally hazard
o,is tasks: American citizens OF Ger
man blood not in full and earnest
sympathy with the United States
should be elected from the country
ard men who refused to enlist be-
ca,,ss of their enmity for England
should be sent to Turkey to tight.
While some OF the former Presl-
dents utterances may be considered
harsh. most people will agree with
him when he says a man who evadcs
his country's call at the present crisis
should be disfranchised throughout
his life.

youth, his fellow-students being sons
Of lords, etc. Upon one occasion the
youngster was requested by his
Latin teacher to give the transla-
ton of Nisi Dominus Frustra. The
boy replied promptly, "Iou can do
nothing here unless you are a
lord" The fling had its effect, and
there was less arrogance upon the
part Of the sons OF English noblemen
afterwards.
From the dispatch quoted above 1t
seems the prefix Won is essential IN
Germany for any favor which may be
asked Of officials.

taxed the loaning privilege of any

AMERICAS PEACE TERMS.

president Wilson'S message 10 'ne
p,ssian Government comes just III
the nick of time to clear up an arr
fullv c,ouded situation and to 1acin-
+ate the work which Mr.. Roots mis-
sion has been sent to perform. IL
is in essential sympathy with the
nnrnoses and spirit of the new de-
rocracv that has recently been set
nm in the house of the Cars, and
should serve as a platform on when
the most extreme Russian radicals
can mite with the United States
in the. prosecution of the war. II IS
an intelligent and. just interpreta-
ton and application of the recent
peace cry of "no indemnlties ana
no annexations.' to which every true
Russian democrat can cordially sub
scribe.
Most of the newspapers CT the
United States snow that two things
are made plain in, this formal COM
munication. The first is that the
United States 'scckS no material
profit or ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF any
kind" We disavow once more any
claim for material reward or gain.
As to that we are at one with the
Russian pacifists. But while we do
not want material profit or aggran-
dizement," we will insist that mo re-
adjustments of power must he made
except such as will tend to secure
the future peace Of the world and
the future welfare and happiness Of
it's people,. And this object the
President firmly declares is absolute
ly incompatible with the restoration
of the status quo ante bellum. 1T
was the status quo ante out of which
this Ubiquitous war issued forth,
and "that status must he altered in
such fashion as to prevent any such
hideous thing from ever happening
again." Indemnitics and territorial
changes may be necessary; but the
former should embarce only those
which CONSTITUTE payment for mani
fest wrong done" and territory
should change hands only "for the
purpose of securing those who In
habit it fair chance for life and
liberty"
Russia knows now what our peace
conditions are and. more important
still, Germany knows what they
are. If the latter wants to talk
peace, she knows the general terms
and principles to which she must
subscribe. Our new declaration of
independence is a declaration of in
dependence for the world from Ger
man domination and control.
As the Washington Post Of today
says. slowly but surely the doom
of Germany draws near. There is
no escape. The neutrals who were
forced to furnish supplies can furn
ish them no longer. The enemies
who were unprcpared are now
stronger than Germany. The West
Ell, world is becoming one in its de-
termination that scif-govcrnment
shalt be planted beyond the power
of ahSolutism to disturb it. Civiliza-
ton is united against the enemy
that would destroy it. With fire
and sword Germany sought to rule
the world. With fire and sword Ger
many is receiving the punishment of
those who would defy the world to
arms.

PEOPLE OF THE PASSION PLAY.

Ohcrammergau is small village
IN the mountain valley Of the Am
mer, in Upper Bavaria. 1t contains
about 400 inhabitants, who are
mainly engaged in making toys and
in carving crucifixes, images OF
saints and 1osaries. Many Of the
houses are adorned with quaint fres-
Goes OF Biblical subjects. The IN
terest of Oberammergau to the outer
world is derived from the Passion
PLAY which is performed at intervals
OF ten years.
Thousands Of Americans as well
as natives of other countries in times
past attended these representations
of the Saviour's tabernacling with
men, among whom Alexandrians at
times mingled. This quiet and spir-
ituaIly-minded village is now feeling
the heavy weight of war with which
they had nothing to do.
Madeline L. Doty contributes an
article to the Atlantic Monthly which
describes present conditions in ODER
ammergau. The picture of pallid,
voiccless misery which she draws is
one Of the most heartrending that
the war has brought forth. Here we
have no victims of hcllish aggres-
sion. nor indeed martyrs to their
own evil impulses, but the subjects.

as one might say, Of malevolent
destiny, without and apart, grinding
them to dust in wanton cruelty.
In the stricken, half-starved. hope
less townsfolk of Anton Lang we get
glimpse of the real German people.
But lately happy, prosperous, con-
tented, spiritual in outlook, genial N
their regard for all the rest of the
world, they are today heartbroken,
penniless, desperate, stupefed in
mind, and broken in spirit. What
do they care, what did they ever
care for the pan-Germanic dream?
What does the window on the Allan
tic via downtrodden Belgium mean to
them? Did they ever even hear Of
the Kaiser's ambition for a Moham-
medan overlordsnip and an outlet on
the Persian Gulf? What has militar-
ism ever meant to them but a wearl-
some drain on their lives? What was
Junkerism to them but an irksome
yoke?
But, today, they are paying the
awful price Of all these crimes. They
are bled white in the present, and
their future is dreary sacrifice
of all the traditions and acquisitions
that had made theirs name OF
honor in the world for a generation.
No matter how the war may go, there
is no compensation in it for the
people of the Passion Play.
About twenty years ago the Pas
sion Play was exhibited by pictures
in Alexandria. They had been
taken of every scene, all Of which, as
in the days of!ancient Greece, had
been enacted in the open. The piano.
rama was exhibited at the Opera
House and subsequently in the Young
Mems Sodality Lyceum. Aftcl
studying the pictures some AIeXan-
daans determined to make the trll
to Oberammergau and sec the Pas
sion Play. One of our most popula
citizens who had been booked as on
of the pilgrims" died suddenly day
or two before the party was to sail
The Passion Play is an echo which
has come down the centuries. In the
early days of Christianity. when thu
Bible existed in fragmentary state
| when but few churches had the en-
tire canon and when but few cnult
read, scenes in the Saviour's llft
upon earth were represented by plays
. in which the priests of that day ant
others were the actors. After tht
various books had been collected an
copies of the scriptures multiplied
especially after the invention Of print
ing, these plays became less fire
quent, and eventually Oberammer
gau was the only place where tn
Passion Play was produced, anc
only once in a decade.
The aftermath of the present VIZ,
will be felt by Germany for man!
years to come. and Ohcrammcrgal
may never again witness the assem-
bling of people of other countries
to see the reproduction Of the Pas
sion Play
