of war, and sswho. are' deeply concern
ed in the welfare of this noble char
ity.
Specially here should be mentioned
the generous gift of a site for the
new hospital by one of our most re-
suected townsmen. May he realize
that she which soweth bountifully
shall reap also bountifully." Further
more this. institution is under con-
tinuing obligations to the churches
of Alexandria; to the City Fathers;
TO many benevolent organizations and
to interested friends, whereby with
ont reference to creed or color It's
Golfers have been replenished and its
spirit encouraged. The new hospital
stands today an accomplished fact,
q great Mercy wrought in stone. Al
toeether, we, the people of AleXan-
dria NAV we'll be proud of our new
hospital as we are already proud OF
our new high school and shall be in
creasingly proud of our rejuvenated
city.
1t would seem somewhat cold and
unsympathetic, if at this unhappy
iuncture in our national affairs no
word were spoken on that subject so
near our hearts and so constantly in
our thoughts. May the war cloud
that now envelopes cur land roll
back and leave us happier and more
united people. May the blessing Of
peaee"in due time descend upon US
and may we all, men and women dc
our duty, sternly, patrlotically an'
courageously in that position in life
in which it has pleased God to place
US.

TO HOLD MASS MEETING
ITn;tad Effort to be Made to Increase
Sale of Liberty Bonds at Opera
House Monday Night.

The fifteen day campaign for the
sale of Liberty bonds has been gwen
the right of way over practically
everything else in Alexandria. Those
who have never thought Of owning
government bond before are buy
ing them today. Bills of various de-
nominations, which look as though
they had not seen the light OF day
in years, have been brought to some
of the banks and deposited in ex-
change for Liberty bonds. Men and
women who have never been known
to attempt to sell such thing as
a bond are engaged in the effort to
induce their neighbors and friends
to purchase Liberty bonds. And It
is fine thing. the patriotic thing
to do.
If YOU, Mr.. or Mrs. Reader, have
not bought one, make up your mind
to do so, even if it is only one fifty
dollar bond. Enlist in the army Of
bond buyers. Buy one Monday, II.
you cannot today. Your money will.
be safe and you will be doing pa,
triotic duty which you can be proud
of later.
And do not forget the big mass
meeting to be held Monday evening.
Since the arrangements were made
by the women's organizations OF the
citv for meeting Monday evening
message has been received from
Mr.. Lewis H. Machen. of Richmond,
announcing that all cities and towns
throughout the state axe requested
by the State Council of Defense, to
hold meetings on that evening. Con-
seouently the meeting Monday even
ing has been merged into State
Council of Defense meeting, and will
be presided over by Mr.. Samuel e.
Brent, commonwealth attorney. as
provided by the council. A promi-
nent senator or representative will
be the speaker and all organizations
in the city, both men and women, are
urged to attend. While the original
plans of the meeting have been
changed the object is the same,
for the National Council of
Defense, of which the state
council is a branch. pro-
notes the sale of the Liberty bonds
as urgently. as it works for the mill
tary defense of the country.
Therefore, it is hoped that tse
members of every organization in
the city interested in the sale of the
bonds will be present. :
