CONCERN OVER RUSSIA.
OFFICIAL Dispatches Within Past
Twenty-Fcur Hours Cause Anxiety
in Washington.

Washington, Aug. 23.-Official
dispatches received from Russia with
in the last twenty-four hours are OF
such a character as to cause some
concern over the situation there.
They will not be made public or dis
cussed at this time by American of
ficials, VINO regard them as indica-
ting a condition with which the pro-
visional government has to deal.
Suggestions that the dispatches
deal with the possibility of the So
cialist element gaining an upper hand
and forcing some consideration of
peace out of harmony with Russia S
allies; or some new undercurrent seek
ing to undermine Premier Kerensky,
meet the reply that the dispatches
cannot be discussed or made PUBLIC.
1t is known. however, / that9 they
refer to no physical events, zsuchsas
would be suppressed by. the censor
ship at Petrograd, but rather refer to
an event Of political conditions.

THE GERMAN SITUATION.

pessimisn,, deep and profound, has
settled down upon Germany in the
Interpretation by Premier Mlchaelis
Of the attitude Of the Allied govern
ments toward the peace proposals OF
the Pope. The Premier Mlchaeiis
in his speech to the main committee
OF the Reichstag said that 1.-The en-
envy war aims prove their desire to
annihilate Germany; therefore no
prescnt desire for peace exists"
The Baltimore American says ne
is right and wrong. There is grim
discrimination to annihilate the Ger
man system unless this shall be sub
missive to internal reforms. But
Germany-the German people and
aation-are subjects OF profound COM
miseration on the part of the Allies
and particularly Of the United States.
Germany has everything to gain by
a peace of democracy. the only kind
Of peace that is possible. Michaelis
should know this. President Wilson
made the sharp distinction between
the German nation and the German
people. The United States with vast
reluctance does anything to in
crease the woes Of the German people.
1t checrfully does everything to in
crease the woes of the German rulers.
Ii would willingly see every respon-
sible autocrat and iunker killed upon
the battlefield or disposed of by the
throes of revolution caused by the
sufferings Of the German people.
Intestinal disease, with typhoid
fever raging. is reported all over Ger
many. This is due to insufficient
and improper kinds of food. The
United States is forced to contribute
to this condition that it would allev-
late to the uttermost of its resources
were there possibility for it to ex-
tend relief. Yet Michaelis holds out
nothing for his country save to go on
to the very last point Sof despair.
The German rulers and administra-
tors are homicides of the5Ssworst or
der, when they, knowing that all they
would need to do would be to demand

AUTOMOBILE FATALITIES.

urbo Killing OF a resident of Fairfax
county { a gentleman well-known IN
A,exandria) and the serious injury
of another Fairfaxan when their
automobile was struck by an elec1rtc
car on Pennsylvania avenue III WASH
inpton about six o'clock yesterday
.avening, is another warning to per-
sons who operate machines especially
IN cities The Virginians, it seems
attempted to pass north in front 81 a
,c.r which was running east, and'
niscalc,,lating the speed of the on
coming car, were struck with fatal re-
suits.
The automobile is one of the
greatest inventions of the age. IL
would be difficult to get along with
out it after having tested its utility
The new carriage virtually eliminates
distances, but. as Mother Shipton
foretold many years ago, when an
ticpating the automobile age, "accl-
dents fill the world with woe"
Often when looking oyer our north
.ern exchanges, especially on Monday
mornings, we have been struck with
! the large and increasing number Of
fatal accidents to autoists. Most of
such accidents happen on Sundays
and are chronicled on Monday. Eight
people, it will be remembered, had
their lives snuffed cut in northern
:city a few days ago, while scores Of
other person lost their lives at diff
ferent points by trains striking autos,
of the drivers losing control Of their
machines.
We have not been called upon to
record many fatal accidents to Alex
andria autoists. A few only have
occurred hereabouts, although it is
often noticed that automobiles defy
Providence by rushing their machines
through our streets at dangerous
speed. This is often done after dark
upon streets where comparatively
few pedestrians are to be seen. On
Tuesday morning about o'clock an
auto was rushed south on Fairfax
street at its maximum speed. While
the street was clear of people at
that hour those in charge of the ma
chine violated law of the corpora
tion which makes it a misdemcanor
Tor any person to engage in diver
sions dangerous to themselves or
others.

CAREER OF HARRIET LANE.

The Gazette yesterday told OF the
finding on one Of our streets by
Sergeant Wilkinson OF copy of the

The Harriet Lane had previously

war performed service as gunboat.
Several United States vessels guard

four years war. The Pawnee first
appeared OFF this city. She was fol-
lowed by the Pocahontas, Harriet
Lane, orig Perry and schooner
which had been converted into gun
boat.
The Harriet Lane was a neat side
wheel steamer. She Joined the fed
eral fleet in 1868 which was tnen
operating off Galveston. In an at
tack made upon the Confederate
forts and vessels at that place the
Harriet Lane with other federal
steamers was captured by the Con-
federates. During that battle Young

GERMANY UP. AGAINST IT.

A close reading Of dispatches from
Berlin, published yesterday, shows
that-the recent peace pleas of Pope
Benedict XIV. are having their effect
among the storm-tossed @Centrati
Powers. Chancellor 1Iichaelis, while
carefully guarding his utterances'
said some things which are sugges-
tive. He told his hearers that the
situation on the western front IS
ansnicious and that the U-boat CAM
paign is gratifying. These state
ments will, of course, be placed ID
the same column with the assurances
riven German soldiers, recently cap
tured, that Paris has been occupied
by the Teutons, London reduced to
ruins and its inhabitants to starva-
ton.
The chancellor, among other things,
said that no steps would be under
taken toward peace without fully
consulting the reichstag.
After Chancellor Michaclis had IN
formed the main committee of the
reichstag that Germany would not
reply to the papal peace note until
she had consulted her allies, socialist
speakers who followed him said they
welcomed the Pope's action, as they
would welcome any step capable OF
bringing peace, and all the more be-
cause it was expected to bear results.
The liberals declared themselves in
agreement with the chancellor's SYM
pathetic Interpretation of the Pope's
action. The centrists associated them
selves with the chancellor's remarks
and said the Pope's proposal marked
extraordinarily valuable progress TO-
ward peace, which was so ardently
desired by all nations. They hoped
the act of the pontiff would meet
with full success.
The Vienna Reichspost says it has
reliable information that the Pope's
peace note is in absolute harmony
with the aims of the monarchy. Aus
tria- Hungary, according to the pa
per, is willing to evacuate occupied
territories and renounce claim to In
IDENTITIES and to adopt the Pope's
ideas of disarmament, international
arbitration and freedom OF the seas,
A telegram from Vienna also
seems to indicate that Austria-Hun-
gary will accept the Pope's peace
proposal.
In diplomatic circles in Bern,
Switzerland, the passage IN tire
speech of Dr.. George Michaelis, the
German chancellor, in which he said:
Notwithstanding efforts to hasten a
decision, it has not yet been possible
for Germany to agree with her al
lies concerning joint reply to the
papal note" is interpreted as ndl-
eating difference of opinion be-
tween Berlin and Vienna and also be-
tween Vienna and Sofia.
Austria, according to reports, de-
sires complete acceptance OF the
papal note, whereas Germany WISHES
only conditional: acceptance and bul-
saria demands public assurances by
her allies that she may annex the
territories now occupied by her.

GERMAN RAIDER SUNK
Seeadler Was Formerly Companion
Ship to Moewe.

An Atlantic Port, Aug. 23.-Ssur-
prised by a British warship, the Ger
man raider Seeadler, which for a
time roamed the seas with the IA
nous raider Moewe, was sunk IN the
Atlantic ocean. The news was
brought to this port by the British
steamer Harrington Head, on board
of which were g part of the crew OF
the German ship. The British vessel
remained here for two days and then
steamed to England TO discharge hef
prisoners and cargo.
The raider, according to renorts'
went down fighting and part OF her
crew went with her.. The fight, at
night, is said to have occurred more
than 1000 miles from this port sew
eral weeks ago. The Harrington
Head and the British steamer Edith
Caval;x were summoned by British
warships to take care of the prls-
oners.
Most of the Germans on the raider
succeeded in escaping from the snip
in lifeboats, but were later picked up
by boats of the warship that sunk
the Seeadler.
