and is now ready to be paid over,
about $4,000 of this money. That
is the net sum for payment to the
state-and this will be divided fifty
fifty with the counties or cities III
which collected. Auditor Moore
knows of no reason why the judges
of all the counties and all OF the
cities have not named the collectors
as provided by the general assem-
bly,.
From another state officer it was
learned that in many Instances
Judges had undertaken to name col
lectors, but that no man acceptable
who would take the post. There
are eighty-four counties and thirteen
cities which have not complied with
the law. That the state of Virginia
can collect many millions of dollars
by seeing to it that the "shorts"
pay up is easy to see, and the state
needs the money. Fully 80 per cent
of those who have not paid their
taxes have children in the schools,
and this capitation tax goes to pay
the expenses of the schools.

FLEEING TO CANADA.

AS was the case during the war
between the states. numbers of men,
eligible for military service are leav-
ing the United States and taking mp
their temporary abode in Canada.
During our civil conflict nothing could
be done by this government after
the refugees reached their objective.
but as England and the United States
are at present allies. conditions are
different. Canada will, therefore, act
with the United States in regard to
nersons who are now fleeing their
country.
Hundreds Of young men subject to
draft are attempting to escape by
fleeing the country, the War Depart
ment has discovered.
a number of cases in which Ameri-
cans of military age attempted to
cross the border into Canada have al
ready come to the attention of the
War Department. As result, it is
understood that representations will
be made to the Dominion authorities
to bar from their territory, ali Amerl-
cans unable to prove their intention
of returning to this country prior to
the dates for beginning registration
or the actual drafting of men. The
same request probably will be made
of Mexico, although that country, as
a neutral, probably will have to re-
fuse.
The State Department also is con-
sidering the ACCESSIBILITY OF refusing
passports: to those ! of military age;
seeking tosleave. the&coun0ry. It was
rented out yesterday that the State
Department is in no way compelled
TO issue passports to all applicants.

ENFORCING THE vAGRANT ACT

Since preparations for war have
been in progress in this country the
of most states have de-
termined to make it warm for vag-
rants. An article on this page yes
terday told of the action taken by
the Legislature of West Virginia IN
order to weed out this class Of unde-
sirables, and similar movements Will
doubtless be inaugurated IN the
mother state. The Gazette also pub
lished the vagrant laws of the city
of Alexandria, and this morning
three persons-two males and one
female-were facing the bar of the
Police Court to answer the charge OF
vagrancy.
The first individual arraigned was
an old offender. 1t was stated by
the officer who made the arrest that
the defendant had been drunk on the
streets three times in two weeks,
and that he had a decided aversion
to work. He was sent to jail for
three months, subject to consumption
for work on the public roads.
The second delinquent wa sa young
man who was charged with vag-
rancy. It being the first time ne
had faced the court to answer such
a charge, he was given one hour IN
which to obtain employment. Should
he fail to do so, he will be rearrest-
ed and summarily dealt with.
The third person against whom
such charge was urged is woman
It was alleged that she had been
conducting a disorderly house on
west Duke street, and that it is
resort for certain young men. 1t was
also stated that visitors to the house
come from Washington in automo-
biles. The woman was given twenty
four hours in which to shake the
dust of the city.

WILL REWRITE THE BIBLE.

The arrogance of some Germans
produces smiles among people OF
other nations. The Teutons having for
many years been taught that the Ger
manic race is superior product OF
the handiwork of the Creator, like
our misguided mother Eve, they
would be as the gods.
According to the newspaper kreuz-
zeitung, of Berlin, the Germans are
going to rewrite the Bible. The
article says:
"If any further proof were needed
of the unreasonable superiority Of
the Germans, intellectually and NOR
ally, over the rest of mankind, it is
to be found in the mental attitude of
OUR people toward the Bible as COM
pared with that of. other nations.
''The English regard that book as
their most valuable commercial as
set, and use it mainly as a form of
barter with savage tribes for their
good will, their assistance, and the
supply of their natural products, and
in England itself it is exploited sole
ly in the propagation of that spirit
of hypocrisy which has stood the
British in such good stead for ages
to hoodwink and despoil other races.
at must be one of our first tasks
on the conclusion Of this war, when
Germany shall arise out of it re-
newed in power and vitality like an
other phoenix to set board of quail
flied experts to work to produce, not
only for our own benefit. but also
for the moral uplifting of mankind. a
new, a more glorious, a purer Bible,
instinct with the German spirit of
Kulter and morality

UNABLE TO MEET EXPENSES.

Trinity Church, New York, with
assets of more than S16,OOO,0Oe' was
unable to meet it's expenditures dur
ing the past year, according to the
annual report of the parish Issued
yesterday.
The receipts of the corporation
were S1,s55,91795: its expenditures
S1,326,955.7O.
"A business organization of the en-
tire parish, with budget system to
wipe out the annual deficits, was IN
augurated.
"The foxes have holes and the
birds of the air nests, but the Son
of Man hath not where to lay his
head" was the exclamation OF the
Great Head of the Church. But times
have changed materially during the
past nineteen centuries.

RtNTELEN's CONVICTION.

The conviction of Capt. Franz
of the German Navy, David
Lamar (known as "The Wolf OF wal.
streetn) and Henry B. Martin OIL
conspiracy to tie up American mu-
nitions plants by fomenting strikes
and promoting German propaganda
in the United States adds another
chapter to. our preliminary war
history. Germany's U-boats in the
ocean were not the only submersl-
bles she employed. While she was
sending out her un4ersea pirates TO
torpedo the Lusitania and American
vessels she was commissioning Sc
cret agents to attack US on land ana
m our own soil. We have laid our
hands on number of these spies
and conspirators from time to time,
CAPTAIN Won Rintclen being one OF
the most notable.
The evidence in his case, though
very Illuminating ard conclusive
was not needed to prove the syste-
matte and wholesale character OF
the German system of secret warfare
upon US for the last two years.
AS the Baltimore Sun says, there
never was a more deliberate, audac-
ious and impudent violation OF neu-
trail rights and territory than was
carried on in this country by Ger
man agents for. month after month,
with the German and Austrian En-
bassies as the centre and Inspiration
Of the whole business. This con-
spiracy was conducted on such a
gigantic scale and its activities were
directed to so many points and as
sumed so many phases that it was
almost en- Indictment to revolution
or insurrection. This attempt by a
foreign government to run this
country in it's own interest was re-
sponsible for the unrest, excitement
and antagonism on the part Of a
large number of our German popula-
ton. Our patience misled them as
to our frmness and resolution; they
thought they could torpedo US in
the United States with as much i'm
punity as they were doing On the
sea.
Some of them are still under the
impression, doubtless, that they can
accomplish something in this country
by plots and conspiracies. But
those who are playing this sort Of
game at present will be running a
greater risk than Captain Rintelen
did. We are at war now, and those
who take these chances henceforth
may be "monkeying' with the cleo
trio chair.
