ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS
Patriotic Addresses at Rail-

WAR MEETINGS PLANNED

Special Correspondence of The Star.
ALEXANDRIA. Va, April This
country is going to hunt-the enemy and
not sit on the bank throwing pebbles
in the stream, declared Representative
.C. G. Carlin, in an address this after
noon before A crowd estimated at 1000
persons, at the flag raising at the
southern Railway roundhouse, Henry
and Wolfe streets.
After congratulating the railway
company on its patriotism, the speaker
said the flag never before, in the his
tory of the world. had meant so much
to humanity. Reference to the efforts
of Germany to have Mexico and Japan
lined up against this country was made
by the speaker.
Frank Morrison. secretary and treas
urer of the American Federation of
Labor. declared the wage earners are
intensely loyal to the flag. AS soon
as it became evident that this country
could not keep out of war, Samuel
Gompers. president of the American
conference of representatives of three
million wage earnerS who wanted
peace. but with honor, and he declared
that as the matter now stands they
are solidly behind President Wilson.
Mr.. Morrison thought the government
should take care of the families of
those who enlist. From the war abroad
he said it was shown that it takes three

Would Prove Great Aid.

While the Canadians are loath to lose
the services of any of the thousands of
Americans in their ranks it was stated
at headquarters today that it was real
lied that, with an American force in
the field, many of these splendid SOL
diers would desire to be released SO as
to serve under their own flag. Their
long training and experience under
most desperate battle conditions would
prove an invaluable aid, it was con-
ceded, to an American expeditionary
corps. Many of these men might also
be available for return to America to
help in training. 1t is also expected
that America will ask that a large
number of its officers be attached to the
British army for observation and ex-
perience under the actual conditions of
European warfare.
Toasts were drunk to America at
many a front-line dugout tonight. The
British look forward eagerly to the
participa tion of America, thus helping
to completely outlaw German militar-
ism. 1t can be truthfully said that the
kha ki-clad army faces the foe tonight
with renewed determination to bring
about a quick and decisive result. There
was a new note of joyous confidence as
the British and Canadian cannon hurled
tons of shells againSt the German po-
Sition.

"All Must Get Ready"

1.-TWO things are absolutely essential
to the waging of war-men and money
! hope and expect that a high spirit of
real patriotism. such as has character
lied great people, will fill the hearts
of all Americans. our virile men must
get ready to do whatever the exigen-
cies of the government may require.
All the people must get ready. as they
should and as l believe they will will
ingly, to bear the burdens of war
Sinking now would be worse than
reasonable: it would be cowardIy and
diShonorable.
The Constitution imposes on the
Congress the duty of providing the
SinewS of war-men and money. Sane
ly. not passionately; thoughtfuliy, not
lmpulsively, that very serious duty
should be performed.
