THE NAVY'S APPEAL.

II goes without saying that there
should be prompt and generous re-
Spouse to the appeal of Secretary
Daniels for the men needed to bring
the navy up to its full authorized
strength. For this purpose some 3D.
900 sailors are required in order that
all available warships may be fully
manned for All emergency. 100
many vessels are now lying in re-
serve at League Island and other
navy yards because it has hitherto
been found impossible to secure the
requisite crews for them.
This appeal should meet with the
most enthusiastic response from those
States of the Atlantic seaboard which
in the event of trouble with Germany
would be most likely to be the scene
of possible hostile actions. The young
men who now join TIE navy will be in
a very real sense defending their own
homes and families from the perlls Of
possible submarine attack. The ser
vice promises to be no less stirring
and exciting than patriotic and should
fire the youthful imagination by It's
attractive features. There is an es-
pecially fine body, of men, officers,
sailors and marines, in the American
navy. which is a thoroughly up-to-
date institution. The United States
appeals to its young patriots in this
hour of need, and it is impossible to
doubt that they will respond as whole
heartcdly as they have always done.

TIE OLD PIONEER MILLS.

The announcement in yesterday
Gazette to the effect that what is
left of the old Pioneer Mills at the
foot of Duke street may again be-
come an important adjunct to Alex
andria's commercial life was read
with interest The reference to this
old landmark brought back many
memories. as we'll rs many disap-
pointmentS.
Duke street. when Alexandria be-
came town in continental days,
was the southern limit Of the city.
Tho thoroughfare beginning at Prln-
cess street on the north, followed by
Queen, Cameron, King and Prince
showed the tory principles Of our
forcfathcrs. Royal street was our
western boundary. Three points OF
land were on our river front-Point
West lTshtown), Point Lumley at
the foot Of Duke street. and what IS
now .Jones's Point, upon which our
forefathers constructed Il fort during
the second war for independence.
In the oldcn times most Of the
manufacturing conducted in AleNan-
dria was between Duke street and
Jones's Point. One Of the largest
Touring mills in this section flour
ished for a time at the foot of Duke
street. and was known as the Pionver
Mills. built in the early fifties. 4
locomotive works was one square
south, with a large shipyard adjoin-
in. followed by another on the site
Of the present marine railway. There
were also smaller shipyards on the
river front. as we'll as plaster mills,
rope walk, etc.
Without recapitulating ali the
events which caused these enterprises
to pass away one by one. it may be
stated in regard to the Pioneer Mills
that the advent of the civil war put
ouietus upon that enterprise. 1t
was in operation in 1860, but the next
year the federal army used It for
various purposes. Deserted as that
locality locks now, the time was when
the largest class of ocean steamers
Of that day moored at the wharf.
When the war ended it was found
impractical 10 operate the mill. The
machinery had become obsolete and
the owners found themselves in debt.
The city Of Alexandria had the
largest claim upon the property. For
a time the mill was used to grind
the tons Of government biscuits
(hard tack) left over from the quar-
termaster's department. The whir
of the machinery eventually ceased
to be heard, and after having been
used by different commission houses
as depositary for grain and inviting
repairs all the time, the Pioneer
Mills ceased to attract attention until
1852 when the Deiss-Bisman Com
nany. Of Canal Dover, Ohio, asked
the city 10 turn ever the property

BATTLE CREEK MAKING
GOOD CAMP PROMISE
Preparing for Cantonment
With Zest That Means
Success of Plan.

] BATTLE CREEK, Mich, June l6.
The Battle Creek board Of commerce
is deyoting all Of its energies and re-
sources to make good its promise to
the war department that this city
could and would give to the govern
ment first-class cantonment site for
the selcctiye army. Army officers,
after inspecting several proposed sites
for training Michigan and Wisconsin
soldier recommended Battle Greek,
and their selection was formally ap-
proved a few days ago.
To give the government a stretch II
land that is sanitary. well watered,
suited for maneuyers, equipped with
modern couveniences and kept free
from moral dangers is the avowed
plan of Battle Creeks citizens. 1t is
believed that the site tentatively se-
lected has the natural equipment for
a training quarters Men and women
of the city are preparing to form a
Nigilants organization for the suppress
sion Of vice and dissipation.
IL Is understood that one OF the
reasons why the government selected
Battle Creek was because II is in pro-
hibition territory.
Four possible locations for the can
tonment have been offered To the war
department 1t is quite generally be-
lieved that the government will ac-
cept property five miles west Of the
city at HamOnia. This land was laid
out in pioneer days for Quaker
Utopia. The plan never materialized.
The site is watered by the Kalama-
ZOO river. Eight hundred acres of
land are available. City water and
gas mains will be extended Power
wires are nearby.
Prof. Gardner $. Williams Of the
University of Michigan Will have
charge Of the sewage and drainage
work. Floyd Rowe. famous long dis
tance runner OF the University OF
Michigan in the old conference davs,
has been mentioned as the probable
athletic director.
The camp is on the main line Of the
Michigan Central railroad and close to
the main line Of the Grand Trunk.
Tho new electric intcrurban line TO
