SIGNIFICANT UTTERANCES

II has been the belief Of many oD-
servant people that the present war
will be a thing of the past before
the snow begins to fly this year. AT
any rate, it is the conviction that an
armisticc will be agreed upon, al
though the task of arranging pacihe
terms will be herculean and there
will doubtless be many htches pc
fore the dove Of peace can return 90
the world in safety.
The fact that Dr.. MachaelIs, the
new German Chancellor, and Foreign
Minister Count Czernin, of Austria,
should have sent for newspaper men
ON the same day and made state
ments for publication is Significant
and a close reading between the lines
makes it plain that the. pcpulace OF
the Central Powers, long since tired
Of carnage and deprivation incident
thereto, are showing their represent
tatjves, and should these officials re-
fuse to act, The people will.
Or. Michaelis places himself IN an
I; absurd position when ne declares
France entered the war for conquest.
It was shown last Saturday that
Germany had determined TO go to
war July 5, 1914, previous to Aus
stria sending the ultimatum to Serbia.
The, German Chancellor talks Of
peace Through an Understandings
which is ridiculous when suggested
bv a nation that repudiates its AS
surances and regards treaties as
scraps of paper.
Both chancellurs snow that they
are making bids for peace.
The Austrian Foreign Minister de-
clares that further sacrifices are
useless, and another Austrian Oil
cial saws submarines will not win the
wac.
The arriva! of United States troops
in France is having its effect upon
The Central Powers, 10 matter how
much the Kaiser MAY sheer Il. Amer
leans as soldiers while the an
nounced purpose OF japan to throw
her armies into the arena is equally
as disturbing.
Famine has spread broadcast over
Austria Hungary, while conditions IN
Germany arc almost rs grave. The
thought of spending another winter
in the trenches is already sending
cold chills down the backs of the
reutonic soldiers.

lied the ranks Of those who go

filled the ranks of those who go
first.
General C.owder tells exemption
boards that reasons of sentiment OF
affection or personal loss must not
govern them in granting exemptions.
These Two statements together
mean that the men who are further
down the conscription lists than the
number assigned as the quota of their
districts will have but temporary
stay.
It means, TOO, that if a man is
married and his wife and children
have any other reasonable means OF
support, he will have to go. This
undoubtedly will reach numberless
cases where the mainstay OF the
family is the husbands earning pow
er, but where wife has small prop
erty or an allowance of her own from
other sources.
General Crowdcr's statement seems
to give little hope of exemption fol-
the man who is the mainstay of a
private business. Even though his de-
parture for military service might
wreck the business, unless it can be
shown that such wreck would make
other individuals dependent on the
State for support, exemption Is moi
to be granted. Indispensability II
business and industry refers only
to the indispensability as regards thu
war needs of the government.
Washington begins to realize after
reading the rwc statements that the
words "mobilizing the whole nation
were more than a mere figuratlve
phrase.

SENATOR MARTIN

Senator Thomas s. Martin, OF Elr-
ginia, became Scptuagcnarian to-
day, he having reached his seven
tieth year. and is receiving the con-
.gratulations of his friends and asso-
GATES in and out Of the Senate.
The distinguished Firginian never
has been mere vigorous than he is
today. As majority leader Of the
Senate and os chairman of the great
Committee on Appropriations he IS
carrying a heavier burden Of respon-
sibility than any other member of
either branch of Congress. There IS
no war measure that Goes not come
before him III some form. There is
no matter of legislation whether re-
lating 10 the war or not that can be
brought forward without consulta-
ton with HIM.
All this has made the work of
Senator MARTIN heavier than many
younger men could undertake. Not
understanding RS age. however. he is
at his desk ~ upon the Senate floor
from twelve 10 fifteen hours each
day. He IS n daily. almost hourly,
consultation with the President or
some high official of the administra-
ton working out the war plans of
the government. From them he turns

work out means Of providing the
legislation required.

THE NIMBER THIRTEEN

Last week e soldier appeared IN
the Clerks Office Of the Corporation
Cont and asked for marriage IL
cense. After having given his own
name and that of his prospective
bride, he said: Il met my future wife
on the 18th instant, | intend TO marry
her on the 27th, thirteen days later.
and it is my purpose to go through
the city and count the churches.
When reach the 18th l will procure

the knot, regardless of the denoml-
nation he may represent.
While the couple referred to above
may have a proper realization OF the
RESPONSIBILITIES of matrimony, and
may weather the storms of life hand
INLAND and sincerely devoted to
each other, the suggestion might be
made-Are such brief courtships to
be commended?
Our city is visited daily by soldiers,
most of whom seem to be all that is
required of nan. They seldom COM
nit overt acts and, as a whole, are
manircstly Il a better genus than
some wearers Of Uncle Sans uni
form in by-gane days.
They naturally become acquainted
with young women of this city, some
Of whom are proud Of the fact that
thew have soldier heauX. The latter,
however, cannot be too careful IN
avoiding the results Of chance &C
ouaintances, especially when their
ncwlv-made friends begin to talk OF
matrimony.
During our civil war federal sol
diers became acquainted with Alex
andria girls. 10 some cases the form
cr were regarded as social lions for
a Time. but on moro than one occa-
sion women accompanied by children
have suddenly appeared and claimed
the gay T.otharios az their husbands.

dreams of some thoughtless girls.

mapped out the Austrian ultimatHm

eighteen days later.
Many persons in Richmond are
anxious to have the entire Virginia
National Guard now in the State
brought to Richmond for Il grand re-
view. The expenses Of such a plan
would fall on the State. but the APP
proval OF the Federal authorities
could easily be secured if it would not
cost the government anything. This

Governor Stuart today. Those who
favor it state that the railroads will

RIOT AT PEACE MEETING

200 Wales Delegates Chased From
Hall by Mob.
Swansea, Wales, July 30.-A meet
ing of more than 200 delegates from
al parts of Wales, under the aus
pices of the soldiers and workers
council, was broken up yesterday be-
fore proceedings started. The hall
was rushed and violent flights took
place on the stair cases and IN the
corridors.
The attacking forces, which lnclna-
ed a number of discharged soldiers
and sailors, succeeded in taking pos
session of the hall and in holding a
patriotic meeting. A crowd number
ing 1000 congregated outside the
building while the delegates were as
semblinc, and most or these TOOK
part in the fray.
Much damage was done to the
furnishings Of the hall and many WIN
dows were smashed by flying mss
lies. The peace delegates sought re-
fuge in various corners, but were
driven out.

Every man within the CONSUMPTION
age, who can pass the physical en-

the immediate future. As the result
of the Presidents and General
CrowdeKs appeals for strictness IN

plans for the steady maintenance OF
an armed force of nearly 100000
men in France this idea develops
strongly.
Many of the men chosen may
never see trench under fire. 1t IS
