Washington, Oct. 2o.--lntereStlAG
statements about GermanN's unset
tied political situation and ~treachefy
in the ranks OF the army. made by an
East Prussian prisoner, have been re-
ceived here in official dispatches. Ac-
cordi;g to this soldier. the SociaIlSt'c
and revolutionary spirit is growing
so rapidly that it is expected to en-
danger the supremacy of the Junkers
by spring. and the military authorl-
ties are adopting most severe re-
pressive measures. He also told a
story Of how German privates EFT
their officers to their fate in the tace
of fire. and Of how officers. hated by
,heir troops. fell on battle fields with
bullets in their hacks.

WANTS GOLD.

Germany, it IS said, offers to re-
store the Danish-speaking portions
,.r schleswig to Denmark for the
cash consideration Of the gold re-
ceiyed by Denmark from the Onitea
States in payment for the DANISH
West Indies.
As the Washington Post says the
United States must not permit th1'
transaction to he carried out. II Is
plainly in contravention Of Denmark :
neutrality. 1t is trade with the
,nemvu which strengthens MIN by
delivering to him the resources OF
this country. We do not allow neu-
trail aliens within our borders TO
transmit American products to Ger
many for use against us in the war.
We cannot permit such action by Q
neutral state.
The American people sympath'ze
with Dcnmark's desire for the return
TO the ~mutherland of the provinces
wrcsted from her by the ruthless
might and greed of imperial Ger
many.
But the way to accomplish this Is
nut to pay the robber for the return
q: stolen goods. To recognize or
tolerate such practice would leave
embedded within the structure CT
international relationship a fostering
sore of injustice. Ii would justify,
or at least condone ami make profit
able, the course Of robher states like
Germany.
The moral course for Denmark t.
rrrsue in seeking the restoration of
her stolen provinces is that taken
BY Belgium. Let Denmark join the
league of civilization.

UNDER THE MAILED FIST.
I.6OG, 900, 900 in Cash Wrung From

Washington, Oct. 25.-Germany

600 in cash from Belgium. exclusive
of what she has gained by occupa-

estimate and adds that the Ger

work in Germany and the looting
Of Belgian industry continues.
According to this information

STRIKE OF PUPILS ENDS.

As will be seen elsewhere, the
strike Of scholars in the puolic
schools has about burned out. Inc
runils viii be allowed to return 70
their studies tomorrow morning I'M
der certain conditions. This was
practically provided for at q special
meeting Of the City School Board last
right. The meeting had been called
for the purpose Of hearing a state
mcnt from representatives of the
parent-rcachers' Association. the
committee consisted o. seven lady
members of the association and one
gentleman. all Of whom were anxious
for the immediate return to the
schools Of the s~evcnty-odd pupils
who. by their precipitancy. had eS-
pelled themselves from the schools
bv their absence ana exploitation OF
what they termed grievances. Such
precipitancy upon the part Of pupils
in ether cities. especially III New
York. recently, had been unknown in
conservative old Alexandria. and 1t
vas a new departure. when the
youngsters refused to return to their
studies after the morning recess
Monday Of last week and marched
through the principal streets bearing
banners with insolent words regard
ing the school authorities. 1t was,
however. realized that the excitement
would burn Itself ont n a hort time
ar.i this has been the result. The
parents OF the youths want them back
IT their studies ard the pupils want
TO get back.
The best Of feeling prevailed at
last nights meeting and steps were
taken for the Immediate return o.
the former scholars. It is hoped
that the work of Il public schools
will not be hamperci again by the
precipitancy Of pupils. who should
think twice before they engage in
any such movements az school
2trikcs. We prefer to believe they
will.
1t may. however. be said in tais
connection that Alexandria IS being
taxed to its utmost limit at present
and parents and teachers should vie
with the authorities in meeting de
mandS now made upon our commun-
lily.
Virtually all the street improve
mentS in Alexandria were brought to
a stan.!still a few years ago in order
10 satisfy the demand FOR Il High
school bidding. The cdi;icc was
erected n an enormous expense AT the
request q parents and others.
The members Of the School Board
are bIlSy.men. Their daily avoca-
tens keep them going all the time.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

l notice in one of your Health Talks
a statement by you to the effect that
physicians OF the present day have a

fected with syphilis or not. cannot
agree with you on this point. No
doubt you have reference to Wasser-
mann's Reaction test, but am sure
SERVANTS means a whole lot, while the
negative Wassermann's means nothing.
For instance. energetic treatment will
often make the blood, or even the
spinal fluid. negative to a Wasser-

the blood or spinal fluid to become
positive to the Wassermann and hence
