to the fact that it was to carry troops
to England, and effect the. invasion of
Britain.
. The original expectation of the sub
marine was that it would destroy the
British navy. 1t soon found attacks
on armed vessels too dangerous, anu
sought safety, at some sacrifice OF
glory, by attacking merchant steam
ers. Having failed to destroy the
navy, it was next guaranteed to de-
stroy British commerce, and proved a
not less complete failure here though
it did inhict immense damage. Then
the RUTHLESS" campaign was started
to starve England before harvest, and
England imported more food than it
did the year before. Next it was prom
ised that the submarine should make
it impossible for American troops to
reach Europe, and even the German
military authorities some weeks ago
admitted that 100000 American
troops were in France.
In order to divert attention from
the failure of the submarines, the
German government is now trying to
make spectacular display of them
in our waters. But they can't destroy
any transports, for our troop SHIPS
are conveyed. They can't induce our
government to recall the sorpedo-boat
destroyers, which are DISCRIMINATING
submarines in European waters, tor
we have enough destroyers to take
care of both sides of the ocean. we
do not believe they can even divert the
attention Of the German people from
the complete failure of the 6 -~"'ar
army and navy, and the certain ano
not distant defeat of Germany.

KEEPING GERMANY QUIET

A dispatch of an official character
from Switzerland says that the naval
commission of the Reichstag is going
to examine in the near future the
question brought forward by the So
cialists as to how it is possible that
10000 enemy troops have been able
to land in France in one month, in
spite Of the submarine warfare.
As an exchange says, this explains
the appearance of submarines on our
coast. The Socialists haven't offered
much opposition to the kaisec's war
policy. but they have said a good many
disagreeable things about its failure,
and they have asked number of in
convenient questions. Several of these
have related to submarines. your
submarine watch has stopped" eN-
claimed Scheidemann, government So
cialist, to the leader of the govern
ment party, INVITING him with the
failure of the submarines to starve
England before the harvest of 1917,
which the German admiralty had guar
anteed.
When the RUTHLESS" submarine cam
paign was started for the specific
purpose of4starvingy England before
the harvest, one of the most premi-
nent German papers exclaimed: "God
grant that it prove not the disappoint-
ment the Zeppelin has been!!" The
German pride in the Zeppelin is cue

eral interest to the public. Triteri

Editor Gazette:
On next Tuesday is to be held a
very important election for members
OF the Board of Aldermen and for the
Common Council of Alexandria. Very
little has been said concerning this
most vital matter in the columns of
The Gazette, but it is to be feared
that the average citizen is scarcely
alive to its Importance.
Already our city has entered upon
new day and the old methods of
conducting city business will scarcely
suffice. Above all things else, we
need men of real breadth of vision.
The incoming tide of population should
be made to feel that our city fathers
arc going to attempt to grapple with
the new problems. 1t is time for US to
wake out of our century sleep and re-
member that we are already in a new
era.
There are very insistent coming
moral problems.which touch the repu-
tation of our community and it WI not
do to say that we have always ignored
them and we will do so still. Ought
not our pulpits to speak with no I'M
certain sound on these questions? 1t
is not a question of politics but ques'
ton of good citizenship.
OF one fact we feel certain; it is,
that every citizen should look closely
into the candidates and vote only for
the best men.
A Citizen.

What Is Expected of Alexandria
A Citizen.

Editor Gazette:
Next Tuesday Alexandria will
choose one Alderman for each ward
and two members of the Common
Council and our new citizens are look
ing upon the situation to see how we
will solve the problem. Certainly it
does not speak well for our city that
so little thought and discussion are
given to this matter.
We must get out of the habit of al
lowing these matters to be settled by
those who are directly interested. IN
less we can rise above local politics
we shall not be worthy to take our
place with other progressive cities of
Virginia. There are some really alarm,
ing situations that very rapidly are
being forced upon lis which must be
settled by our city fathers, and we
ought to know how they are going to
be settled. 1t is freely said on every
side that we are going to lose large
part of our school teachers because OF
the niggardly pay we give them. If
any move has been taken to remedy
this we have not heard of it. It is
said that we can get other teachers,
but no first-class teacher can be got
ten for the present salaries. Unless
something is done speedily it will be
too late.
Why does not the Chamber of Com
meree, with its splendid machinery,
take hold of this vital thing? Red
Cross campaigns are fne,. but are we
to neglect our own households ~
4 Let US vote for men on Tuesday
who love the children of Alexandria
and who can look into tomorrow.

INYINCIBLE AMERICANS

It should be erthusing to every ma
.tive-born American to read of the
services being performed by troops
from the United States on the battle
front in Europe,
Dispatches from the American
army on the Marine tell us that the
Americans stormed the enemy posi-
lions through terrific hail of ma
Tchine-gun fire; but pressing onward,
they burst through the German de-
fenses for depth of two miles, scat
tering the Huns before them like
chaff and inlicting bloody losses with
their rifles and automatic pistols.
The Americans advanced assault
ing waves broke clear through the
enemy's lines, approaching within 400
yards of Krupp field gun positions.
and in two instances American groups
sinfltrated" right among the enemy
gunners, routing them and preventing
them from serving their pieces
The Marines captured German ma
chine guns, turned them upon their
late owners and advanced within
quarter OF a. mile OF German battery
positions where the field guns were
firing upon them from the open. The
Americans dashed on with wonderful
eclat and inflicted particularly sangui-
nary losses on the Germans. Every
square yard of terrain was dotted
with enemy corpses after the battle.
S The French war office in its night
con,munique says go prisoners were
taken by the Americans.
It is believed that an entire Ger
man battalion was put out of action.
Conservative members Of the Wash
ington government are convinced
that the turning point Of the war was
reached when the present German
offensive arrived at the crest of its
drive and began to disintegrate into
sporadic assaults on the allied lines.
This conclusion is based on facts init
mately associated with the part now
being played by the United States in
the finish fight against the Teuton
race.
Mere optimism does not figure in
the attitude now shown by the Wash
ington government. The confident out
look is built on knowledge that after
many discouraeirg delays and bitter
disappointments. the unrivalcl man
power and mechanical strength Of the
United States have gone into the
scales against Germany. Whether the
war lasts one acre year, or five, It
has become los ng struggle for the
Central allies. Ire era of uncertainty
and genuine danger has given way to
the dawn Of a conclusive and lasting
victory for the forces OF civilization
It would be interesting to know the
extent Of the self-accusations the Ger
man imperial war staff is leveling at
itself for having forced America into
the war. A more colossal blunder in
practical diplomacy was never per-
petrate1.
