THANKSGIVING service in Bethel Church.
Rev. ". z. Atkinson, Of Emmanuel
preached a timely sermon on M of the
Psalmist songs of rejoicing, praise
the Lord. @ Ny Soul
After telling of the spiritual bless
ings God has provided for the happy
salvation of souls, he said that we
should be thankful for the ideals of
our nation, thankful they are not the
same as the nations Of Europe, especi-
ally Germany, whose Kaiser has start
ed on q warfare TO conquer the world
as Alexander, Caeser, C~harlemagn
and Napoleon Bonaparte started to do.
While some are grumbling at the little
inconvenience and have to do without
things which are considered
necessities. we should be thankful that
we are not in Russia, Italy, nor
France. We should be thankful for
the privilege for defending the right
principles of u government on for
eign sell and not wait for the carnage
and atrocities to be brought to our
land.
We should be glad where we are
and what we are and let US help with
all our nights our armies to bring our
prayers true.

JERUSALEM FORTIFIED
Strong Defense of City of the Great
King Prepared by Germans.

New York, Aug. 24.-The ancient
city of Jerusalem, one of the objec-
tives of the British campaign of
Palestine, now is a strongly fortified
city, protected by modern armament,
and it's Turkish defenders, ofIicered
by Germans of high command, have
prepared defense which, to be over
come, will require an effort on
parity with the trench campaign IN
Flanders, according to members OF
party of missionaries who arrived
here this week from Turkey and sur
rounding mission fields.
A spokesman for the party as
serted that in his opinion Jerusalem
never could be taken by a frontal
attack, and could be conquered only
bv extensive fanking operations.
The missionaries asserted that
there is both plenty and starvation
in Turkey. The army officers have the
former and the people have the lat
ter-but such is the hold the mill
tary authorities have that the peo-
ple dare not rebel.
"There are still remaining in Iur-
j.kev about $50 Americans" the
Spokesman said. "There is no cause
for alarm On the part Of their friends
for while they are surrounded with
very trying conditions, they have the
means of keeping themselves from
want and the attitude of the gov
ernment officials is, on the whole,
friendly to Americans. The people
of the country consider America
their best friends" t

WANT some MORE hEN'DEhAND TRANSFERS
Virginians Go. to Supreme Court to
Gain Their Point-Writ of Man
damus Filed in Court Yesterday.

Virginia commuters on the Wash
ington and Old Dominion Railway
Company have asked the District OF
Columbia Supreme Court to enter
into the controversy over free trans
fers from the Virginia railway to
the Capital Traction Company in
petition for a writ of mandamus lied
in court yesterday by Herman E.
Gasch and other commuters to COM
pel the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to take jurisdiction oyer the
CAPITAL Traction Company and COM
pel it to accept the transfers.
In the petition filed through At
torneys Jackson and Sherier the
commuters state that the tariffs were
substantially increased by the Old
Dominion in the schedule which was
fled August 9, 1916, and that the
transfer arrangement with the Capt.
tai Traction Company was discon-
tinued whereby purchasers Of tickets
were entitled to free transfers TO
any point in the District on the lines
of the Capital Traction.
The commission on January 6, 1917
denied jurisdiction over the Capital
Traction Company on the ground that
it was engaged in the transportation
of passengers only as street rail-
way, the petition of the commuters
stating that it had entered into an
transfer arrangement and therefore
was amenable to the commission.

gested by DIR. John Huston Finley,

tions.

her class concerning Government
bonds, and try to interest them with
the aim of getting their parents TO
buy bonds. Besides distributing
Liberty Loan literature, which will
be supplied by the Liberty Loan Com
mittee the teachers will collect sub
scriptiois and forward them to the
local. bankers committee. Further
more. each teacher will make a per-
sonal visit to the home of every one
of her pupils for the purpose Of
soliciting. bond subscriptions from the
parents.
Under the supervision Of the
Treasury Department and the LII
berty Loan Committee of the Federal
Reserve District there is in prepara-
ton special book of instruction for
the use of teachers. Special suoscrlp-
tion cards for the canvass by the
teachers will also be prepared. An
advisory member will be appointed
in each local bankers committee OF
the state to cooperate with the
teachers, and representative OF the
Department of Education will be as
sociated with the Liberty Loan Com
mittee during the period of the can
vas. District superintendent will De

Captain Johnson of Company G Or
!. dered to Begin Recruiting Again
Immediately-Starts Today.

Twentv-one more men are wanted
to bring the ranks of Company 6 OF
this city up to the full war strength
f.f one hundred and fifty. Captain
Johnson has received orders to that
effect from Colonel VIM. j. Perry OF
the First Virginia Regiment at Rich
mond and opened recruiting office
at the armory today. 1t is probable
that another office will be opened up

tanned and that recruiting squads
will also be sent out into the adJoin-
ing counties in order to secure the
required number of new men. At
present there are 129 men and three
officers in the company. An effort
will be made to get young men from
1s to 81 years old.
Soldiers Want Shoes.
The men of Company G, or at least
some of them, are sadly in need OF
shoes. Through blunder or over
sight of someone, or for some other
reason not known, the shoes ordered
by Captain johnson about a month
ago have not yet arrived. Some Of
the men have drilled until the soles
of their shoes are badly worn and
need to be replaced with new ones.
It is hoped the arrival of those or
dered will not be longer delayed.

Young Alexandrian Was Riding Au-
tccycle Which Struck John Martin
in Alexandria County Last Week

The fatal injury of John Martin in
Alexandria county last Saturday af-
ternoon has heretofore been publish
Cd in the Gazette. The unfortunate
man was struck by an autocycle, not
an automobile, as had been supposed,
the machine which ran him down
having been operated by Clarence E.
Campbell, a young man Of this city.
The following facts have been gath
cred by Sergeant Wilkinson, of the
police department of this city.
Young Campbell was proceeding
north on Mount Vernon Avenue when
he saw Martin walking ahead OF him
IN the same direction, ne being near
the over head bridge in the vicinity
of Queen City. Martin, however,
was on the wrong side of the road,
and Campbell blew the horn OF his
machine as warning for him 20 be
on the lookout. Martin, without look
ing behind him, attempted to cross
the road in order to get on the right
side of the highway, and was struck
by the autocycle, which was running
down hill at the time.
A young man who was following
Campbell closely witnessed the ac-
cidcnt, and upon coming up assisted
Campbell in picking up Martin. Sub
scqucntly an auto truck, in charge
of colorcd man. came along, and
at the request Of the two young men
Martin was placed in the truck and
conveyed to the Emergency Hospital
in Washington. 1t was supposed at
that institution that Martins real in
Jury was to one Of his legs, and Mon
day morning, when the latter was
served with milk and toast for his
breakfast he let it be known that he
desired some more substantial vlands.
The attendants told him he had bet
ter 20 elsewhere if their attentions
did not suit him, and Martin left the
hospital and returned to his home at
ITume's Spring. How he reached his
objective he was never able to tell,
and Doctor Yates having been called
to render assistance. the latter found
that Martins temples and skull had
been fractured. The doctor placed him
in the Alexandria Hospital, where
he subsequently died.
Sergeant Wilkinson has notified
Sheriff Field, of Alexandria county,
of the circumstances i'll connection
with the accident, and should the au-
thorities OF that place desire to in
,cstigate further into the matter.
young Campbell will respond to their
summons.
