RESERVE BATrALiONS
MAY IslS FORMED AT ONC:

MAY bE FORMED AT ONCE
In addition to bringing the orsani-
zations up TO war strength. it is prob
able that reserve battalious will he
formed at once. The national defense
act requires them to be organized in
event of war. The reserve battalions
will increase the National Guard
strength about one third. making the
total force of more than 10000. Tho
President is authorized to I'LL the ranks
by draft if voluntary eniistments are
not sufficient.
The war strength OF the National
Guard In the United states is about
100000. With the regular army, the
United states within few weeks
would have an army OF 100000. of
which about half is trained. The arm
ing and euuippinS Of the recruits will
be the big task.
The drafting of the National Guard
into the United States service would
not call for the organization Of new
units. If volunteers are asked for, the
President will then stipulate what
units are desired. and they will be
organized accordingly. Virginia's quota
is about oue-tiftieth Of the total num-
Der sought.

UNCERTAINTY OF NEWSPAPERS

Among the items in a Richmond
paper yesterday which had BEEN
clipped from its files of fifty years
ago was one announcing that the
Richmond Times had been purchased
by Cowardin and Ellyson, publishers
of the Dispatch, for $4,000.
The item brought to mind the sky
rocket career of what was for a
short time one of the most vigorous
newspapers ever published south Of
Mason and Dixon's line. Al The close
of the civil war, when Richmond was
under bayonct rule, it took consider
able nerve to publish any reflections
upon the military cast of the city.
Several papers had survived the ex-
igencies of war and were being
printed upon WORKOUT type, when
the Richmond Times made its bow
to the people Of the capital city.
Charles Wynne had his name at the
top of the editorial page, and the
character of the articles which be-
gan to appear soon made the paper
exceedingly popular. Everybody in
Richmond wanted 1t, while people
throughout the state subscribed to
it. Advertisements flowed in aEso'
and in an incredibly short period the
Times was one of the best paying
newspapers in the south. 1t was SET
lup in nonpareil and agate, the latter
being used for advertisements, and
! in accordance with the custom Of
those days, nothing larger than ar
! agate cap line entered into any adj
vertisement.
! Upon one occasion the writer com
pared the Richmond Times with the
I New York Herald, and found thai
the former on that day carried more
advertising matter than James Cor
don BENEFITS paper, then looked
upon as the most prosperous journal
, from All advertising standpoint, OF
any publication in America.
The career of the Times, however
was brief, We never understood the
, reason. 1t wancd as fast as it had
walked, and eventually it was placed
upon the market. AS stated above
the proporietors of the Dispatch
purchased it, and the latter has
since been known as the Timcs-Dis-
match.

J. W. Phipps are held for the United
States Court. 1t is understood that
government officers have been on
the trail of Mccoy ever since the
arrest on May % of the other two
men, who are alleged to be the lead
ers in an organized plot among
mountaineers of the border counties
to defy CONSUMPTION and iraugurate
and a regime of murder rapine, Gov
Qrnor Stuart being among their sup
posed intended victims.
On Sunday evening, while motoring
in Maryland, an automobile, in which
were Robert and Richard Cooksey,
Adm Laycock, John Royston and Har-
vey Castle, all young men of Lees
burg, was struck by freight train
at Dobb's Switch, seriously injuring
all in the car. They are now in the
Loudoun Hospital in critical con-
dition.

The gathering together OF the
tribes of Israel and their location in
the land of their forefathers is men
toned many times in both the Old
and New Testaments. The orthodox
Jews have never reliaquished their
faith in the eventual fulfillment OF
these forecasts, nor have close Bible
students of all ages. The question,
is the world about to see the consum7
nation of these promises to the des-
pendants of Abraham? is pertinent

PLETHORA OF STRAWBERRIES.

Fine strawberries sold in the Alex
andra market this morning at five
cents box. A number Of people
purchased the berries by the crate
for the purpose of preserving them
Strawberries begin to ripen here
ahouts during the last half OF the
month of May. They come. how
ever. from places in the south al
most from the beginning OF the
year. When our crop began to APP
pear it was thought that prices would
be high throughout the short sea-
son. For some time the berries re-
NAMED firm at prices which kept them
from many. but last Saturday, as
was stated in the Ga2ettee of that
day, it was seen that during few
days this week prices would be low
enough to enable most anybody to
purchase them. The berries were
selling at ten cents box Saturday,
and it was stated that these rates
could not be maintained long.
AS had been expected, there is
serious holdup in the New Jersey
strawberry fields because Of the scare
itv of pickcrs. While it was looked
for when the plants gave evidence Of
an immense yield, and efforts were
made in many sections to take care
Of the crop. it has come so rapidly
that much fruit will rot. Many
carloads Of pickcrs have been brought
in, school boys and girls have en-
listed in the work. but even then it
is impossible to get all the berries
picked. In some section growers
arc blowing up their patches and
getting ready to plant something
else.
Berries OF the finest quality can
be had in some section at six cents
a box, if the buyer will pick them.

With the abandonment of the plan
to locate one Of the sixteen army

was believed possible last night that

The fact that the proposed Peters.
burg site was within 6 miles OF the
Du Pont powder plant at Hopewell
and tho lack of proper rail- facilities
and labor conditions were respon-
sible For the abandonment or work
bthere. A delegation from Peters

test against the action Of the War

FIGHTING FOR OURSELVES.

II is recalled by contemporary
+bat in the civil war the PURPOSE
for which the north was fighting was
the preservation Of the Union But
it was apparent to the tar-seelnS
from the first that the result Oh INC
war would be the emancipatloh' o.
the slaves. AS the war went on tne
opponents of Mr.. Lincoln MADE every
effort to persuade people that inc
war was being conducted to free enc
slaves, and many men, who were
laval 70 the Union but were not
ohol;tionists, lost interest in the war

Frrone to avert the necessity OF
fighting Germany in our own co4,h-
trv. We are fighting Germany as 'he
oniv means Of preserving the MOT

line of defense against European
autocracy. Decidedly, we are hght-
ing in our own quarrel, and we are
defending our own rights on land
and sea.
But the result of breaking the
military power of Germany Will De

should have been obliged hereafter
to accept the embargo OF all our
ports whenever two other nations
fell to fighting.
But the Copperheads are trying
now, as they did "a years ago. 10
confuse the issues and make people
suppose that one of the ineVi'a"ie
results of the war is the emu Tor
which we entered it. This IS VII
full misrepresentation. We have GOT

will not keep the HohcnzolIerns at
