Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1917-02-01

"Judge Underwood publishes all of
the orders of the United States
Court in Hunnicutt's paper. That
paper IS a fit. organ Of his Judge
ship"
This is a brief item, but it repro
duces many "reminiscences Of journal
ism in Alexandria during the civil
war and the two or three years
which followed. Several papers were
published in Alexandria from the
early part of 1862 up to 1868 which
were war products, and which sus-
pended publication Or were, removed
to other places at its close. The first
was called "The Daily Virginia
Chronicle" which was printed in the
office occupied by Smith Brothers in
ante bellum days, where the Vir-
GINA Sentinel was published. The
building stood upon the site of the
present Fleischmann Hotel. This
publication was short-lived, and was
followed the same year by "The
Alexandria News" This paper in
1863 changed its named to "The
Daily Virginia Journal" and shortly
after the close of the war it was
removed to Richmond when the late
Judge Robert w Hughes became one
of it's editors.
A republican paper in Alexandria
during the war was a gold mine.
Such were crowded with government
advertisements in the shape of tax
sales and bankruptcy notices, ETC.,
while much printing for the army
was executed here, and later the
printing for the Pierpoint government
of Virginia was another large addi-
ton to the craft Of course, all army
orders were published IN the papers.
The Gazette at that time was a
small sheet, and was published for
the purpose of keeping up the city's
history during those stirring days.
1t was non-paying proposition dur
ing the entire war. Occas. onally
the military authorities would in
sert an order m the Gazette, which
acts invariably brought growls from
ats more prosperous competitors, the
latter suggesting that the military
authorities would do well to ascertain
the loyalty of this paper before patro-
nizing it. The Gazette never replied
to such utterances, and when the
war ended the exotics so hostile ia
US folded Their tents and left the
field to the Gazette.

ADMITS SENDING MESSAGE.
.sgr .l
F. A. Connolly of Washington,
Blamed for Forecast. il

New York, Feb. 1.-The Congress
sional probers, searching for a
'1eak" in the Presidents note to
neutrals and belligerents, ran N a
stone wall yesterday.
Francis A., Connolly, Washington
broker and partner to R. W. Boil
ling, President Wilson's brother-in-
law, took the stand. He admitted
having sent the message to E. +.
Hutton and Company, his Ne"
York correspondents, in which he
gave perfect Interpretation OF
the Presidents important note, sir
hours before it was made public
~ doped It out from gossip
among customers in my office, and
from my own IDEAS" was his ex.
PLANTATION.
He resisted every effort of a bat
tery of cross-examiners to shake his
story. His chief inquisitor was
Congressman Bennett, one Of the
minority members of the Rules
Committee. Connolly explained that
the original of the message that he
sent to Hutton and Company either
had been destroyed or lost, but he
wrote duplicate of it for the COM
mittee, as best he could recollect
If he had been apprised that such
an important message, which GER
tainly would affect the stock market
had been written and was about to
be published, he argued, would he
have permitted his customers to lose
upwards of $4,000 through the
downfall of the market?
Representative Bennett suggested
that he might not have realized the
Importance of the Presidents utter
ance. This suggestion was greeted
with scorn by Connolly. He de-
clared that the first time Mr.. Boil
ling spoke to him about the matter
was after the Presidents brother
in-law had testified before the Con-
gress:onal Committee on January
10.

GERMANY'S NEW WARFARE
philadelphia Record)

After twenty-four months of un.
precedented marine campaign, which
has more than fAonce brought the
United States to the verge of war
and has greatly embittered our rela-
lions with Germany, the Ka:ser's
Government now announces that it
has thrown off all restrictions and,
regardless of it's pledges made to
this country, will carry on undersca
operations strictly in it's own way.
apparently no notice is to be given
to vessels attacked, and the Kaiser's
sailors will feel under no obligations
to see that crews and passengers are
given an opportunity to save their
lives. This is the policy so long
urged by Admiral Won Tirpitz and
against which the Chancellor and
other Teutonic statesmen have
fought. Its adoption marks a new
stage in the war.
Germany may be seeking peace by
preparing to make concessions when
she sees practically the whole world
arrayed against her. Whatever the
motives underlying this sudden and
unexpected step, it cannot be doubted
that it will add to the fury and bit
terness of the war and that its con-
sequences may easily be momentous
for the United States.

BUT ONE POSSIBLE ANSWER
(Richmond Times-Dispatch.)

(Richmond Times-Dispatch.)
Germany has left this government
no alternative to the severance OF
diplomatic relations. BY establishing
war zones around the British Isles,
off the coasts of France and in the
Mediterranean, within which no neu-
trail Ship, wherever bound and on
whatever mission, may venture, on
pain of unwarned destruction, and
by decrceing on the high seas a new
reign of submarine frightfulncss,
the Kaiser has thrown down the
gantlet to the world
AS for the United States, its course
in such an event already has been
declared-declared in words of most
solemn import.
Germany, her back to the wall. has
thrown prudence and discretion to
the winds and throttlcd mercy with
the mailed fist. Whether she hopes
really to starve England, or fore
seeing her own defeat. welcomes new
enemies who will render Yielding

sne has hurled defiance into Americas
teeth, and there can be but one re-
Spouse. That this response may bring
war, this nation we'll understands,
but with the memory Of long and pa
tient endurance &.of most ). grevoas
wrongs and IN the consciousness of a
just cause, America awaits whatever
fate may hold in store.

M'GRAW TELLS
WRITER'S STORIES
WERE ALL TRUE.

New York, June 23-Indicauons
point to John K. Tener and his Ma
tional League directors being COM
PEELED to do their job of Investigating
Manager John j. McGraw and his
charges all over again
The order of events in this baseball
politics thriller thus far are these:
Manager McGraw took clout, at
Bill Byron's jaw. Mr. Ten
er proceeded to uphold the umpire
to the extent of suspending McGraw
for 16 days and plastering him with
$500 fine. Learning of this action
McGraw became enraged and said
many hard and unpleasant things
about Mr.. Tener and the National
League. Interviews with him were
printed by baseball writers travelling
with the Giants.
Called to his notice, President
Tener decided that these statements
and charges were entirely too raw
even for the National League to pass
over. He called for an Investigation
of the affair by the board of directors
of the league. At a meeting of these
directors few days ago a writer
statement, signed by McGraw. waa
given to the newspaper men in which
MeGraw charged that the 9sscurrilous
articles did not come from him. That
satisfied President Tener and the Ma
tional League and McGraw's great
name was cleared. All well and love-
ly up to this point-but not SO far as
the honesty of baseball is concerned
and the honesty OF those New York
who write about the national game.
Then McGraw rejoined the club in
Boston, and called before him the
Newspaper men travelling with. the
club. He explained to them that
statements and articles written by
these writer's for their papers were
true, but that he was forced to sign
a statement repudiating interviews ac-e
credited to him under penalty of long
suspension and possible expulsion
from THE league to say nothing of.
possible libel suits against the writer's
and their papers,. To save the writ
ers and their papers from damaging
I libel suits sympathetic John McGraw-
issued his famous 'tscurrilous articles,
reputation. ~ 80,
Now clearly the explanation which
McGraw made when he returned to
Boston is a reputation of his repudia-
ton signed before the meeting of Ma
tional League directors here. That
means. Of course, that the situation is
identicaI1y the same as that which exsi
listed before the league took action.
