EXTREME GERMAN PUSH,

Extremely hard fighting, with the
Germans using great forces of infan'

along the souhthw estern and south.
eastern sections of the Cambria sa-
lient.
In the region of Gonnelieu, La Vac.
queries and southwark to Vendhuile
and northward toward Masnieres,
battles waged with great fierceness
throughout Monday, but with the Ger
mans nowhere successful in breaking
the British front. At La Vacquieries
they again succeeded in penetrating
the village from which they were
elected previously, but a strong coun.
ter-attack again turned the scales in
favor of General Byng's forces who
throw out the enemy, inf.icting heavy
casualties on him.
AS in their previous attacks, the
Germans used great masses of infan.
try, but the British forces everywhere
met their onslaughts stiocally and at
last accounts were firmly holding their
line at all points.
Twenty Divisions Engaged.
Although the Germans in their of.
fensive have been using men reckon
ed at twenty divisions. the British
have been able at several points to
regain some of the ground they lost
IN the initial attack which was dc.
liVered with a suddenness' similar to
that OF 'Byng's big drive toward Cam
brai. Sunday night they had gained
the eastern edge of the village of Vii.

this latter position until Monday morn

to cede it to the enemy, anly to take

|, Great Britain, her imperial finan-
ces strained to danger pant sug-
pestive of their condition in the Ma
poleonic era, may well be dismayed
at a future which holds out only the
prospect of greater armies and
greater navies.
To drive Europe into bankruptcy
is to mortgage civilization itself. In
ternational finance may survive the
drain of this war, but it is certa, n
that the war debt that will burden
the backs of the coming generation,
if coupled to increasing approprla-
tons for mighty ornaments Tor
Europe to continue as an armed
camp, will be beyond the capacity OF
civilization.
Finance ministers in the bellig-
erent nations today are privately adr
hitting their despair over the pros
poet. They see few new sources OF
taxation, no way to escape the al
most complete impovershment OF IN
dividual and corporate wealth in their
nations. They will become the most
powerful advocates of limited ar
mament, along with the bankers,
~
the taxpayers, the "plain people
who must loot the bill and pay the
price of imperialistic and national
istic ambition.
The continuance of militarism -
meaning by that word the competl-
ton between world powers in arma'
ments-will appeal to the peoples OF
Europe, when the war ends, as a
piece of monstrous folly. Even IN
Germany the reaction is coming. IL
is hideously impracticable from the
financial point of view, unless Eu-
rome wants to head straight Ter the
abyss.
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1917-01-25
rHE COST OF MILITARISM

When Bismark was at his zenith
and the annual budgets were pre-.
scented TO the German Reichstag, a
large percentage of the people were
disappointed when they studied the
figures the iron chancellor suggested
for ornaments. At times he was In
terrogated as to the real necessity
FOR such colossal expenditures, the
taxpayer living in hopes that the
sum demanded for ornaments would
eventually be reduced. His reply was
alway laconic, but to the point-the
nation should always be on wal
footing.
The Teutons, led on by war lords,
for many years, are now reaping
what they hsve sown, and while
bringing distress to themselves they
are about to bankrupt civilization.
There was significant dispatch
in the papers this morning. 1t stated
that Austria. was about to seize pri-
vate property in order to fight off
national bankruptcy.
The Washington Herald in COM
mcntins upon the desperate condi-
tons now facing the belligerents
says: Germany, facing war debt I'M
paralleled in the worlds history
the interest of which alone is larger
than her entire annual budget of
1ssiiss. - may be forced to; advocate
disarmament;q or a limitation of ar
mament;; when Europe. lays down its
arms.

CITY IMPROVEMENTS.

CITY Engineer Charles E. Boiling
stated before the Richmond Council
Committee on Finance last night
that not until the city charter is
changed so as to compel the property
owner to bear some part of the eX-
pensc on public improvements, espec-
tally those On streets and alleys, Will
there be any let-up in the incessant
camor for paving here and sidewalks
there, and for sewers, gas and water
ma ms. The city's revenues and bond
issues will never accomplish what all
would like to see done and what
people are demanding.
A few years ago this issue caused
a division IN the Alexandria City
Council. Some good citizens, ami
mated by the best motives, believed
that all such expenditures should
be paid out of the general fund.
1t subsequently became apparent to
the majority Of the voters of the
city that such a course is impracti-
cable, since which time the cost of
such improvements has been met in
part by persons whose property abuts
on streets receiving new paving,
sewers, etc
