A FINE EXAMPLE

Hats off to the pupils of St. Mary's
Academy in this city for the splendio
example they are setting to the otner
schools and our citizens in genera.

schoolroom by saluting and pleogins

Again. we say, hats off to them!
And also to their teachers VINO are
exhibiting spirit of PATRIOTISM
which is most commendable. 1t causes
the man with real, red blood IN his
veins to want to take each one OIL
them by the hand and express MS per-
sonal appreciation of the manner IN
which they are doing their duty 10
the country, while others are too m
different to even hang out the stars
and Str;pes as is being done in prac-
tically all the cities throughout the
land. =,
The question has been asked WITH
in the past few days if it will De nee
essary to invoke the law OF the state
in order to have the flag displayed
unon our school buildings, as mas
been requested by various organlza-
tions and citizens OF the city. IL IS
to be hoped that such measures VIII
NOT have to be resorted to ana thus

SEE END OF WAR.

That the end Of the war is not lar
off is the opinion of many VINO are
keepinp a close watch of the trend OF
events. Concerning it the Brooklyn
EAGLE. one of the leading newspapers
Of the country says:
'sThe belief is growing in Washing
ton that Germany will not attempt
to carry the war much further, NO
tangible ground for such a belief can
be discovered, but the fact that there
is much talk, in and out of official
circles, to the same effect is regarded
as having significance.
This idea that Germany has had
about all the war she wants is in no
way connected with the report
started yesterday that some neutral
nation might try to mediate between
the United Safes and Germany. This
government expects no such offer,
and is not interested in any. A COM
plete revocation Of the whole German
submarine campaign might pave the
way for mediation, but this it not
looked upon as present possibility.
But apart entirely from the vague
rumor of mediation offer exists the
impression that, with the United
States about to enter the war as a
belligerent the first steps toward
peace in Europe are not remote.
Government officials. including
military men as we'll as statesmen, do
not see how Germany can continue to
fight much longer against steadily
growing odds. Once the United States
becomes a war factor, those odds
will increase UNNECESSARILY. The gov
eminent has heard and seen much
within the past few weeks to foster
the idea that a break up of the war
is a possibility of the near future"

HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF.

People acquainted with the history
OF Europe during the past two or
three hundred years See many things
now which bring to mind conditions
in certain continental countries a
long time ago. The sad story of
Marie Antoinette was brought to
"1ind today when we read that the
captive Czarina of Russia is denied
the use Of a telephone. This natu
rally reproduces the numberless re-
straints, insults and deprivations
which the unhappy Queen of France
was forced to submit to before and
after she was made a widow by the
cruel guillotine.
1t is hoped now that the purpose
of the Russian people has been ac-
complished and this former German
princess has been placed in posi-
ton which will render her impotent
to infilct any further injury upon the
country she should have upheld, that
she will not be made to suffer any
unnecessary indignity. The Russian
people are not laying all their
troubles at her door as did the French
at that of the Austrian, Marie An
toinette. Hence no one anticipates
any violence toward her nor the Gar.
Trouble is no respector of persons.
While suffering from the mortifca-
lions incident to dethronement. the
royal couple are now watching the
bedsides of five OF their children,
who are suffering from measles.

Under an act of the last Legislature
every citizen of Maryland is eligible

A DIXIE HYMN

All hail the day when banners gay
Are floating everywhere,
To tell the world those banners furted
Were furled by men who dare;
Who proudly stand on native land
As peerless as the day, :,
When rebel yell mid shot and shell
Inspired the "Men Of Gray"
There never yet was one who met
The boys of Dixie land,
That ever heard one whining word
To shame Old Dixie grand.
Whatever task true honors ask,
However hard the way,
Is surely wrought by men who fought;
Those men who wore the gray.
The boys unchecked, with heads erect,
Lead in the grand parade.
Twas bitter cost when ali was lost
But They were Meier dismayed.
Aloft they hold Old Glory's fold
In proud, supremest way
But graves and scars and stars and
bars
Are sacred W Hc NIdy.
At last the years have dried all tears,
And time all wounds has healed;
The blood once shed when patriots
bled,
Clements the ties revealed.
AS heroes shine in battle line
AS night the stars portray,
So knight-hood springs when valor
brings
Together Blue and Gray.
CHORUS:
We swell today the nations lay,
"My Country tits of thee;"
"In Dixie Land III take my stand
"Sweet land Of liberty"
Old Glory flies meath Dixie skies
And ever there shall wave:
This is the way, old soldiers Gray,
Stand for the free and brave.

Virginia has a long coast line Ion
Chesapeake Bay, as well as on the
Atlantic. She has great plants for
The manufacture Of munitions of war,
She has a considerable, though not
a great, foreign-born population. By
land and water she is the gateway
to the South. A treacnerous blow,
struck at Richmond or Norfolk, would
be felt here, not only, but throughout
the whole country.
The State should assume, and at
once, share of the burden of her
own defense. If the National Guard
is to be mustered into the Federal
service, some other force must be
supplied to take its place. There
must be either a State constabulary
or home guard, formed from among
those citizens who are incapable OF
or unadapted to active military duty.
There is no stain on Virginia's 10y
atty, nor any lack of patriotism
among her people. What is required
most urgently is leadership, and that,
by. virtue of public confidence in his
wisdom, as well as by virtue of the
great office he holds, the Governor
of Virginia should supply-Richmond

RETURN OF THE GODDESS of.
SPRING.

The ancient Greeks, who person.
fed everything. hailed the sun as the
Apollo or the day god. Niobe repre-
scented winter. She was the mother
Of severed chi!dren-frost, piercing
north winds, snow, hail, etc. At the
ycrnal equinox Apollo appeared with
his bow and arrows and destroyed
one at a time Niobe's children,
after which buds would swell and
the annual regeneration of nature set
in.
Our northern ancestors person.
fled this season also. Eastre, Ostara,
was to them the goddess of spring,
Hence our Easter, a season OF the
year welcomed with rites and cere-
monies throughout the civilized
world.
Niobe must now stand aside until
after the autumnal equinox. after
which time those of us who are des-
tined to remain here will be kept
busy lodging her shafts until Apollo
reappears after the 2lst day of next
March
This deity. like Venus, generally
cr;pples those she fails to kill. Two
sad stories have come from near
by state during the past week or
ten days. Headlines in this mornings
papers tell US of another tornado in
Indiana by which at least fifty per-
sons have been killed, houses de-
stro;cd and great damage done.
These accompaniment Of the
changes of the season are generally
in evidence during the ides of March
and September. Alexandria has suf-
fcrcd but little from such commissions
o. nature, the most serious being
that of September, 1896.
But to come back to Niobe who is
now about to leave us for a time.
GRIP is one of our national COM
plants. Il prevails in other coun-
tries also. Several years ago the
number of deaths among old people
of London from this ailment was so
great that the undertakers were
ovcrtaXed and bodies had to remain
in houses several days before they
could be inferred. People suffering
from any chronic trouble are in es-
pec!al danger during the reign OF
Niobe. They are liable to influenzas,
grip. or whatever these winter
troubles may be called, ard the dis
ease makes for the weak spots i'm
mediately.. 1t soon develops it into
dangerous stage, and death follows
in most cases.
