LA BELLE FRANCE.

While Teuton hordes, with fell intent,
Have deeply SCARED this sunny
land,
The Gallo legions still are bent
On thrusting forth the shameless
band.
But, spent with long, exhausting toll,
The valiant warriors seek our aid.
They ask the fruitage of our soil,
And also that a sum be paid
Besides the toll of food and pelf
What further service can we do?
This land must send part of self
To fight in noisome trenches too.
So buckle on the cartridge belt,
Snatch from the wall the shining
lance;
It's DER the seas with Roosevelt
To stricken fields of bleeding
France.
To arms! To arms! The hour is here,
The cause admits OF no delay!
Refuse to linger at the rear
Enroll at once and haste away!
What nation helped us In our need
(Which We should none of us for
get)?
A friend that was a friend indeed
The stored land Of La Fayette.
Then shout aloud the "Marseillaise, !"
And let the starry banner dance,
For these are glad and glorious days
To pay our debt to peerless France!

YANDALS DESTROY GARDEN
Reward of $40 Offered by Chamber
of Commerce for Their Apprehen-
sion.

sion.
Complaint was made today that one
of the gardens planted in the south
eastern part of the city, on south
Lee street, has been raided by vandals
and the potatoes, beans and all the
vegetables pulled up and the entire
garden practically destroyed. The
gentleman who owns the garden is
employed in Washington and did the
work of planting the garden during
his spare time when not engaged in
his regular duties. 1t was his inten-
ton to have given the vegetables to
the poor people of the city after they
had arrived at maturity, but his la
bors have been in vain because OF the
contemptible vandals with which, 1t
sens, the city is infested.
As soon as the matter came to 'fe
knowledge of the Chamber of Com
merce this morning, that body decid-
ed to take prompt action and Secre-
tarv Preston authorized the Gazette
TO offer a reward of SO for evidence
which will lead to the arrest and con-
victioa of the guilty parties. 1t Is to

JEWISH SERVICES SUNDAY

Congregation of Bethel Synagogue in
This City to Observe the jewish
Feast of Weeks.
The Jewish Feast of Weeks occur
on Sunday next, May q, commencing
at sun down Saturday evening, and
will be observed by the congregation
of Bethel Synagogue in Alexandria
with appropriate services on Sunday
morning at 9:3O. Mr.. B. We'll will
officiate as the reader.
The date of the feast is reckoned
from the feast of Passover. On and
after the second day of Passover
which was on Sunday April 9th this
wear. a special benediction and a
VARYING formula were inserted INTO
each evening prayer, so as TO count
the passing days. This ceremony is
called The Counting of the Omer, De-
cause during the existence OF the
Temple at Jerusalem the counting OIL
these days began with the bringing
Of the first sheaf (in Hebrew 'Omer }
of the barley harvest, to the Temple
rs a .wave-offering' When the count
reaches forty-nine days j. e., a week
Of weeks, the Feast of Shabuoth
(Weeks) or Pentecost (the Greek for
.6ftieth day, is celebrated.
The feast of Weeks is one OF the
three Pilgrimage Festivals. In an
cient times, men would come from
all over the land of Canaan on a
nilprimage to the Temple of Je-
rusalem. Since this feast marked
the end of the fruit harvest, the
pilgrims began to bring the first ripe
fruits of their fields as gift to the
priests at the Temple. In modern
times there are special holiday servl-
ces; the synagogs are usually deco
rated with plants and flowers as a
reminiscence Of the ancient agrlcul-
tural nature of the feast. In the
morning service the Book of Ruth is
read to the congregation. This book
is particularly well chosen for this
occasion because of its harvest
scenes, and perhaps also because
Ruth WAS convert to Judaism re-
iectinc her Moabite gods and ac
cepting the worship of the God OF
Israel; and this day. is considered tt
be the anniversary. of the day wher
the Law was given on Mt. Sinai ant
israel accepted God and his Law
"Shabuoth' therefore besides being
the Feast of harvest Weeks is alst
designated as the Time of>the Civ
ing of our Law!
Since this feast is the anniversary
of the giving of the Law on Mt
Sinai, Reform congregations il
America have appropriately chose1
it as the day for Confirmation. Oh
the anniversary of the day on whicl
Israel accepted the law of God, tn
: young men apd women of Israel ac
/, cept the faith: and affirm their loyalt
; to the religion Of their fathers.
