SPLITTING GERMAN OPINION

It is satisfactory 10 Learn that
the Pan-Germans are keeping ur
their efforts to drive DIR. Bethmann-
Hellweg into private life. They
are showering memorials and tele-
grams and letters upon Won linden
burg urging him to declare for a
war of conquest. They believe that
if he will do this public opinion will
force the present Chancellor out OF
office and a more chauvinistic Chan
cellor would take his place.
Three weeks ago DR.. Won Beth
mann-Hollweg refused to declare in
favor of a war of conquest because
he vas afraid of the Pan-Germans
refused to declare himself in favor
of peace without conquest because
he was afraid of the Pan-Germans.
He is trying to ride both horses, hav,
ing well-grounded fears as to what
would happen, not so much to him
as to his imperial master, if one
horse should balk.
It is well-known fact that large
part of the German people have had
all the war they want. They are
eager for peace. This element is evil
IDENTIFY large, because the Govern
ment has been trying to conciliate
it for the past Is months. This ele-
ment may not yet be prepared to
give up Alsace-Lorraine or an indem-
nifty for the sake of peace, but it is
moving in that direction. At pres
ent it wants peace so much that it
is willing to give up all the territory
German armies occupy. which con-
stitutes about nine-tenths of the
Pan-German program of 1911.
The Philadelphia Record says the
effect of the campaign against the
present Chancellor must be to cut
deeper and deeper the chasm be:
tween the pacific elements and the
bel'icose clements. and it's success in
retiring DR.. Won Bethmann-Hollweg
would be a declaration to the pacific
elements that they must overthrow
the Empire at once or abandon all
hope of overthrowing it. Whatever
divides German feeling about the
continuance of the war increases the
chances of convulsion that will ac-
complish the objects of the United
States by the overthrow of autocracy
and the popular insistence that the
slaughter cease.

EASILY DECIDED

This Question Should be Answered
Easily by Alexandria People.
Which is wiser-to have conf
dence in the opinions of your fellow
citizens, of people you know, or de-
pend on statements made by utter
strangers residing in PARKWAY
places? Read the following expert
eace given by an Alexandria man.
w. Dawson, blacksmith, Of 409 n.
West St., says: "My back was so
weak and sore that l could hardly
pick anything off the floor. !
couldn't straighten without taking
hold of something and the pain was
terrible when l got up in the morn
ing. Sharp, shooting pains caught
me in the small of my back and |
thought would have to give up.
Finally l procured Doan's Kidney
Pills from c. w. Summers Drug
Store. After finishing one box my
back was all right and l could work
all day and not feel any the worse
For it,"
Price so cents a tall dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy
get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same
that Mr.. Dawson had. Foster-NIil-

ployers of negroes have been asked
by the Mayor of that city to cease
bringing blacks from the south into
Missouri. His honor has also re-
uuested the negroes to remain south
of Mason and Dixon's line in the
future.
The managers of enterprises IN
the south have experienced consider
able difficulty recently in securing
sufficient laborers for their plants.
This has been especially annoying
in Virginia, and local authorities
have been compelled to adopt dras-
tic laws in order to offset the move
ments of agents of northern 1lrms
who are in our midst urging negroes
to remove to the northern and west
ern sections of the country, where
higher wages are said to be paid
and conditions are more favorable
for the colored race. The AleXan-
dria City Council adopted an ordi.
nance with this end in view last
week, and it is printed in today's
! Gazette.
The negroes, for various reasons
have not found the north or the
! west the Utopia pictured by those
i who would have them emigrate from
the south. Sooner or later race riot!
occur, and the deluded blacks art
| compelled to return to the southern
country where they are understood
lby the whites and where they hav,
every opportunity for their better
nent.

THE BATTLE FOR EXISTENCE

The advent of the United States
into what seems destined to become
an universal clash of arms means
many years of taxation upon the
people of the country. This grim
picture stares US in the face at a
time when every necessary of life
is forging toward the high water
mark. There is nothing in the vista
to inspire hope of better conditions,
and the present generation must bear
with the spirit and body of the times,
its form and pressure.
Alexandria is destined to pass
through the same dark clouds which
have settled over other sections of
the globe. War, with all its hor-
rorS. confronts us, while the fight
for existence becomes more fierce
every day.
Grim facts are facing Sur people.
Prices for everything we need are
steadily increasing and alarms are
being sounded in quarters we least
expected. A few years ago any
common carrier would haul load of
coke from the gas works to our
doors ? for twenty five cents. A
dollar is charged now in some cases,
while it is rumored that the price of
this fuel may be increased in the

MEMORIAL DAY.

Like Confederate Memorial day
Inst week. today (National Memorial
Day) is being observed by people Oh
oil sections. The scars of the civil
war have been virtually eliminated ny
time, and there is no longer ol-
vided country. Our motto, E plurl-
bus Unum, appeals to Americans
wherever they be located, as it never
has before.
Today has not been characterized
nv the stir and hurry to leave Ae
city for excursion and other resorts,
as has been the case in bygone
wears. The weather has been ldeai'
and the day has savored more OF
Sunday than that of national holi-
day,
The banks have been closed, as nave
also the federal and city offices, and
the many government employees re-
siding in this city have enjoyed a
holiday. Apart from the services at
the National Cemetery, the day has
been without special features.
The Baltimore Sun in speaking OF
Memorial Day of 1917 voices the
sentiments of Americans of the pres
ent day when it says the civil wal
was battle for freedom on botf
sides, for free institutions and con-
stitutional government, as each side
understood it. We recall it now to
the credit of both, not to the re-
proach Of either. With the intense
convictions which each entertained
the surrender of either without q
struggle would have been dastardly
and would have been an evidence
that Americans were unworthy oil
the liberty they had jointly wor
from Great Britain. Had the South
stopped to consider the odds against
her and played the coward, the
country would be ineNpressibly poor
er today in the things that make
a nation great and strong; had the
North failed to take up the South's
challenge, it would have been land
unfit for freedom to live in. The
tragedy, the blood and the tears OF
the Civil War were baptism OF
blessing; in some ways the most
glorious page in American history
because it proved that love of liberty
was still the strongest and purest
of American passions, and that the
people of every class and of every
section were ready to sacrifice life
and everything they held dear for
what they believed to be the right.
The thought that ought to come
to the present generation Of Ameri-
cans today is how we can emulate
the courage, devotion and self-sacri-
flee of the generation which fought
the Civil War. We are once mora
engaged in a struggle for principle
and justice. Let Us try to draw
from Memorial Day the inspiration
and enthusiasm which made us a
heroic people between '6l and '65,
and made those years beautiful and
splendid with sublime devotion to
the cause of liberty.

az future. It is also limited that

near future. 1t is also limited that
gas, indispensable for cooking IN
this day, is likely also to be IN
creased. in price. We. will be COM
PEELED to pay more for ice this sum-
mer than heretofore.
While. the above conditions were
staring us in the face colunDlaa
has been discharged from another
Quarter. Aqua Cameron, following
the upward trend in everything, IS
TO cost more in the future if the Alex
andria Water Company succeeds IN
making it plain to the corporation
commission that we are not paying
enough for water.
1t is the purpose of the company
to almost double, the cost OF each
spiggot.
The Gazette is not called upon to
rule in this important matter. II
is in the hands of state officials, and
the great majority of the community
will experience no little anxiety IN
awaiting their decision. We will
only say that water is much higher
in Alexandria than in most cities
in the country-notably Washington
where it is used by housekeepers al
about one fourth the price charged
in Alexandria. If the Alexandra
Water Company cannot afford t
furnish it any longer at present
prices, it is unfortunate to say the
least.
For many years most Alexahdriaas
used but one spiggot, and ther
outlay for water was not onerous
It is not so now, however, The law
of the city makes it misdemeano1
to neglect to connect houses will
sewers when such are convenient
i This makes it obligatory to MAKE
another opening, which adds yearl!
three dollars to our water bills. 4
bath tub, an essential as well as
luxury, adds three dollars more t.
our household expenses Should VIZ
desire to use hose to sprinkle GU
sidewalks or flower beds arothe
three dollars is added. All thes
are extras in addition to our kitche'
spiggots, the cheapest of which vii
be twelve dollars year should tn
corporation commission grant tn
request of the Water Company.
We try not to be among the muir
murers and complainers Of tn
world, but our burdens are increas
ing all the time. and there is no tel!
ing what additional weights ar
being p prepared for long-sufferln
community.
