MEMS BIBLE CLASSES.

In years not long gone by, the Sun
day School was considered an insti-
tuition for children only, with just
enough grown people On the roll to
act as officers and teachers, all OF
the scholars being youngsters from,
say, five to fifteen years Of age.
In the last few years there has
come change, and now the Bible
students in the adult classes in q
majority of the Sunday schools OF
the country equal the number OF
scholars in the childrens classes, and
in some schools nutnumber the little
ones.
The formation of mems Bible cias-
ses is but return to the original
spirit of those who conceived them
many years ago Az that time few
lcrSons could read, and the majority
who gathered around Robert Ralkes
and others were adults.
There are mems Bible classes in
most of our Alexandria churches,
some containing over one hundred
members, with large average at
tendance.

BREAK WITH GERMANY.

The Kaiser's action in declaring
an unrestricted submarine warfare
around England and France, ana de-
claring that all vessels, neutrals IN
cluded, found within his prescribed
zones. would be sunk, has brought
forth fruit. 1t resulted today III
the severance of relations between
the United States and Germany. The
administration has during the past
two wears resorted to every eXpedi'
ent in order to avoid this, but after
the last announcement from Berlin
that the Won Tirpitz policy was to
be adopted, there was nothing to 40
but hand the German Ambassador

America has done everything to keep
on good terms with the Teutonic
race. headed by rash man, believed
by some to have inherited craziness.
We have borne patiently at times
when it seemed there was but one
way to assert ourselves, and that
by the sword.
The severance of relations does

Germany attempted to soften the
effect of her note by directing Won
Bemstorff to communicate to the
United States that he had received
additional instructions TO the effect
thas every effort would be made to
protect American ships and lives;
also that he would facilitate their
sailing and issue permits insuring
the safer passage through the dam

German conditions. 1t was an insult
to the majesty Of the United States
when a suggestion was made that our
ships could sail only by permission
of Germany.

AUTO ACCIDENTS.

The Gazette mas on several occa-
sions raised d warning cry against
the reckless operation of automobiles
IN this city and vicinity. Aside from
two horrible accidents by which four
!Alexandriars were instantly killed
by railroad trains. automoblliSts OF
this city have. so far. been spared
serious miShapS from the reckless
manner in which some people rush
mach neS through the streets of the
city. We raised our protest against
the high rate Of speed attained by
the new auto fire engine. and the
authorities took immed. ate action TO
prevent what would surely have re
suited in Il frightful accident sooner
or later had the practice been contn-
ucd. The articles were also med at
the operators of private automobiles
who ruSl, at fearful speed through
the streets when fire alarms are
sounded. Some Of the latter have
taken exceptions to our protests. but
illogically. as they were intended in
the kindest spirit. We simply do
not want to be called upon to chron-
icie auto horrors.
We noticed Thursday when 4
slight fire occurred on south Royal
street that auto horns on certain
machines were kept blowing as
though everything must recognize
their r:gh. OF way.
We said on other occasions that we
do not want TO see anybody hurt, and
cur warnings were in the nature Of
suggestions We see no reason why
any one should feel offended. The
Gazette appreciates the spirit Of
those who drop everything when an
alarm Of fire is sounded and work
heroically pro bono publico.

THE RETROCESSION APPARI
TION.

Hannis Taylor, who at times dur
ing the past years has figured in
feeble movements to bring about q
retrocession of the city and county Of
Alexandria to the District of Column
bia, is again in the saddle. While
the world is distracted by wars and
rumors of war, he is endeavoring to
bring to life some long-eXtinct en-
bers and force this question again
upon the people.
MIR. Taylor published long article
in Washington paper yesterday in
which he rehashed arguments used
about eight years ago when President
Taft and others cast glances across
the Potomac and suggested that this
city and county should again become
a part OF the District of Columbia, as
it was from the formation of the
government up to 1916, when it was
retroceded to Virginia.
Retrocessoa fever prevails in a
mild form among few people all
the year round. The more severe but
sporadic cases appear at certain
crises. when other and more serious
problems face the country. 1t ragged
during reconstruction days from
1865 to about 1870, when Virginia
entered the federal union. Nest
Of those who were attacked by the
distemper at that time were disap-
pointed otfice-seekcrs as well as
others who had been ousted from po-
sitions they held during the four
years war. The majority of such
later folded their tents and left for
places whence they came. Others eX-
perienced rapid conralescence, since
which time the malady has been kept
under control and has never spread
TO an alarming extent. The case Of
Mr.. Taylor is the first which has
been reported for long time.
