National League Pledges Aid
Ready to Take Mems Places in
the Defense of Their Country.

Washington, April Rapid prog
ress in mobilizing the woman of
Power" of the country for war ser
vice was reported here yesterday at
the first general conference of the
National League for Woman's Ser
vice. The services of the league
were pledged to President Wilson,
and the conference issued call to
women not only to enroll to take the
places of men in war time, but to
encourage men to enlist in the army
and navy.
Within the last two months ll5
branches of the league have been
formed in "a States, and Miss
Maude Wetmore, national chairman,
said that, through bureau of reg
istration in Washington, co-opera-
ting with the Department of Labor,
the league expects to enroll thous-
ands of women to replace men IN
various industries.
In the next six months the Navy
can be supplied with 800 trained
women radio operators, Mrs. Her.
bert Sumner Owen, chairman of the
wireless division, declared. Forty
girls already are studying in Il wire
less school in New York. Reports
from New Jersey, Connecticut,
North Carolina and other States
were that local branches are speci-
alizing on home gardening and pre-
venton of waste in cooking as war
measures.
The resolution pledging support to
the President was offered by Mrs.
William Cumming Story. president
general of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, and Mrs.
Hugh l.. Scott, wife of Major-Gen-
eral Scott, chief Of staff, Z. S. A.
Another resolution adopted de-
cared "that each and every woman
who joins this league must hereafter
be ready to learn and to perform;
that she must be ready to sacrifice
self to the finer idealiSm of SER
vice; that hereafter. whether as
mother. wife, sister, daughter or
friend, she must testify to her be-
lief that it were better for each and
every man to die nobly than to live
ignobly.

German Who Shouts for Emperor

stranger believed to be German, VINO
shouted "Hoch der Kaiser" as he
stood drinking at saloon bar here,
narrowly escaped lynchng at the
hands of Thermopolisans whom his
cry nfuriated
As the stranger lifted the glass to
his lips after shouting his toast he
was knocked down by miner. A rope
appeared as if by magic, and in Il
moment the dazed man was hanging
from a beam. o..
Before life was extinct, however,
the counsel OF cooler heads prevailed,
and he was cut down by the city mar
shall. but was then unconscious. He
was revived with cold water and fore
ed to kneel and kiss the American
flag. He then was warned to get out
of town. He did.

to service, to be submitted
to Congress as soon as the pending
war resolution is adopted, are based
on selective conscription OF young
men to be summoned to the colors as
rapidly as they can be trained and
officered. A detailed scheme Tor the
registration of eligibles has been
worked out.
After married men, others with de-
pendents, those whose service is re-
ouired in industries have been exempt
ed, others within the age limits fixed
will be eNamined physically, and
those found fit will be selected, pos
sibly by lot, until the first 100000
to be trained are secured.
1t was made clear today that 5OO,-
900 is nowhere near the limit needed
and that it is expected that more than
100000 available will be found in the
first classihcations. Others will be
trained as rapidly as possible by Of
fcers' from the regular army, Ma
tional Guard and officers reserve

Rheims Bombarded Again by Ger
mans who Kill More of its Resi-
dents.

Each day finds the British and
French forces drawing their net clos
er upon St. Quentin. Already close
| to the outskirts of the town on the
west and southwest, the British and
French in resh drives have captured
additional villages and points of sup
port.
Attacking on a front Of more than
eight miles south and southwest OF
the harassed German stronghold, the
French troops, Notwithstanding stub
born resistance by the Germans,
everywhere met with success, taking
strongly organized positions and VIII
lagos, notably among them Dallon,
about two miles southwest, and Gif-
fecourt, two miles south of the town.
The British, already almost within
stones throw of the western out
skirts of St. Quentin, seemingly are
resting there, while to the northwest
they are carrying out maneuver
having as it's object the hanking OF
St. Quentin from the north. in this
operation they have partly succeeded
according to the British official COM
munication. Driving eastward from
the region of Vermand, they nave
captured the town of Maissemy, five
miles northwest of St. Quentin, and
farther north the Ronssoy wood.
Field Marshal Haig's forces also
were successful in taking the village
of Heinin-Sur-C Cojeul, five miles
southeast of Arras, after intensive
fighting.
Rheims has again been violently
bombarded by the Germans, more
than 1000 shells having been thrown
into the town. Paris reports that
their were casualties among the
civil population.
On the Russian front the Germans
delivered attacks against the Rus
slams south of Illoukst, which is IN
the Dvinsk sector, and south of Nlad-
imir-Volynski, in Volhynia At each
place the attackers succeeded in
penetrating Russian positions, but
later were expelled from them in
counter-attacks, according TO the
Russian war office.
Heavy snowfalls in the mountain
regions of the Austro-Italian theatre
are hampering operations, but there
has been considerable activity in the
Adige Valley, where severe artillery
Iuels are in progress on several sec
tors.

ALEXANDRIA RED CROSS
Appeal to Patriotic Citizens to Aid in
the Work of Furnishing Necessary
Supplies for Soldiers.

The Gazette publishes the following
appeal made by the Alexandria
branch of the Red Cross, which is en-.
deavoring to do its part in preparing
| for the needs of the soldiers:
The American National Red Cross
Of which the Alexandria Chapter is
component part, organized for the
purpose of relieving suffering human
ity in time of war and peace, has at
various times called on the citizens
of the United States to aid in the
good and necessary work begun by
the aforementioned organization for
the relief of citizens and troops OF
other countries as well as for those
of our own in need of assistance, i. e.
clothing, shoes, food and surgica;
dressings for the wounded, now calls
on all citizens of this country to pre-
pare themselves to aid our own troops
and their dependent families and to
supply surgical dressings and nec-
essary things in order to make COM
Portable our troops.
The Red Cross Chapter in Alexan-
dria having been actively engaged in
this good work for more than a year
has now been requested by the par
ent organization, the National Chap
ter, to increase it's activities and to
undertake the work on larger scale.
In accordance with said request the
Alexandria Chapter, whose work.
room in the Chamber of Commerce
is open every Wednesday and Friday
from ten A. NJ, urgently appeal to
all patriotic residents of this grand
old city, who always respond to every
good cause, to aid in this very neces-
sary work as all energy will now be
bent toward making surgical dress
ings and hospital supplies for the
furnishing of base hospital to be
established in our neighborhood by
the United States Government in the
very near future.
The Alexandria Chapter requests
every one to come to the work room
prepared to cut and sew material for
surgical dressings and above men,
toned supplies, and also requests all
organizations of the city engaged in
work of like character to vie with
the Red Cross Chapter in this work.
Money is also a very important
item in the work, as material for
dressings is very necessary and un-
less funds are available with which
to purchase said material the Chap
ter's work will not meet with much
success. Donations consisting Oh
money, gauze, absorbent cotton, un-
bleached cotton, oakum, scissors,
needles, thimbles, and sewing cotton
will be greatly appreciated. Dona-
tions can be sent to work room, Cham
Der of Commerce.
Let the good citizens of Alexandria
hearken to this worthy appeal and
respond generously with funds and
by work in order to aid the local Red
Cross Chapter in its very commen-
dable undertaking.
