Remember, It's Free!

German peace offers. No matter what
they carry.
For nine chances out of ten every
one of them will carry a concealed
oker. Somewhere the cloven hoof will
be hidden.
Formerly it was no indemntes. no
anneXations, no territorial aggression.
Pretty soon they'll be Offering dis
armament, agreeing to an information
al arbitration, and willing on the sur
face to do anything to prove their
anxiety to be good.
The allies, and Americans in par
ticular, must not fall for anything of
the sort.
Too many lives have been sacrificed,
too many billions squandered, for us
to be satisfied with any halfway re-
suits, any doubtful measures, any di-
plomatic possibilities.
We must fight it out on the present
line, whatever the cost.
We must get Kaiserism for good.
We must wipe out the German men
ace for all time and do the job thor
oughly
With two million Yanks over there
and three Liberty Loans we have driv-
EN- the Hun back to the Hindenburg
line. With five million more and a
few more Liberty Loans we must
close in on Berlin.
This Fourth Liberty Loan will send
the Huns skurrying over the Rhine.
1t will prove to them and the world
that we are in to the finish That the
! Kaiser's days are numbered.
That we are taking no chances on
another 80 or 40 year preparation for
a repeating performance on Ger
many's part.
And every fellow who buys a bond
buys insurance for world humanity
world freedom, world safety and ma
tional life.
Insurance that is cheap at the price
Get yours early.

BOSTON WOMAN TRIES TO
CLAIM KENTUCKY HONOR
Woman Who Established Small Set
Element in Kentucky Claims Hon.
or of Starting Moonlight
Schools Here.

We see where Mrs. Alice Spencer
Geddes Lloyd, who in 1916 located at
wis, Knott county, Kentucky, and
started a small settlement has had
circulated through the press the
statement that she is the founder of
the moonlight schools. 1t may not
matter so much that she challenges
the claim of Mrs. Cora Wilson Stew
art, whom the world honors as the
real founder of the moonlight schools,
but it does matter to Kentucky that
Kentuckian born originated and
gave the system to the world instead
of Boston woman who saw this state
some five years after moonlight
schools had been in operation, and af-
ter other states had adopted them.
Also, it matters always that truth
shall prevail. Mrs. Lloyd has a small
center in Knott county where she is
attempting to make a settlement. 1t
is new. 1t is yet in the experimental
stage. The press agent will not
strengthen it by making absurd
claims. Kentucky does not seek to
claim that she founded Boston. 1t
would be as true as for this woman
from Boston to pose as the founder OF
moonlight schools.

Complaints on R,ilrond Service
Can BE Properly Filed.

The Chamber of Commerce is in re-
ceipt of the following communication
from the Cincinnati District Feight
Traffic Committee of the U. S. r. r.
Administration
Mr.. r. U. Walton Moore, Assistant
General Vounsel of the U. S. Railroad
Administration, Washington, ID. c.,
has addressed the following commun-
ication to the various General and
District Freight Traffic Committee.
Complaints against the Director
General with reference to the adj
vanced rates are ow being served on
me. For instance, | have recently
sent you complaint filed by the Pub
lie Service Commission of Washington
and a complaint filed by the Chamber
of Commerce of Cedar Rapids, Iowa,
which is as clear that parties are fill
ing complaints without having made
any effort to effect settlements by con-
ference with the committees as APP
pointed for that purpose. | am there
fore. writing to urge that whenever
there appears to be a possibility of
disposing of complait by negota-
ton, you should endeavor to bring
about that result. | know you will
agree with me that formal proceed
ings, which involve labor, expense
and frequently bad feeling, should be
avoided when it can be done"
1t is the desire of this Committee to
arrange settlement of complaints
whenever it can be reasonably done,
in order to reduce the number of COM
plants filed with the Interstate Com
merce Commission and Officers of the
United States Railroad Admnistra-
ton at Washington.
1t is further the desire of this Com
mittee to render to the public the
largest possible measure of service
and satisfaction. AS representative
of the public on this committee. wish
to assure all shippers that meritor-
ious complaints will receive full con-
sideration and prompt action.
Complaints should be filed with the

Don't take her too seriously when

They woke up in a hospital. For

their pockets full of bombs and turned
them loose as soon as they were in

got close enough for effective work.

Editor the Gazette:


Sometime last January "jitney"
service was inaugurated between
Alexandria and Camp Humphreys.
These "jitneys" established them
selves on Alfred street as the most
logical loading and unloading point.
Thew came to Alfred street at no ones
suggestion or request. At that time
there were about 900 civilian trucks
hauling material to Camp Humphreys
dav and night, this in addition to 4
large number Of government trucks,
all using South Alfred street to Camp
Humphreys. There was no complaint
from any one. This continued from
January until the latter part of Au
gust.
Against the protest of the poor
"iitney" drivers, they were forced to
move to South Pitt street.
Now comes a signed petition from
all residents and property owners of
South Pitt street petitioning Council
to move them from that street.
Friendship alley, between King and
Prince streets, has been approved by
the street committee and voted by
council as the proper parking place
for these "jitneys." A signed petition
was presented to Council by the resi-
dents adjacent to this alley stating
there was no objection to that place.
Winter is now rapidly approaching.
Where are these "jitney" drivers
going to get in out of the inclement
weather? How about the hundreds of
people coming to Alexandria city to
visit their friends and relatives at the
camp? The least the city could do
would be to turn the old Friendship
engine house over to the "jitney'
drivers and visitors for their conven-
iece and comfort.
IL ID Iiltsg a SoiAih'N''t'>''
ton was received by the council from
the chief Of the fire department con-
corning the congestion of traffic at
King and Washington streets, and a
committee has been instructed to wait
On the Observation-Disclosures Railway
Company with reference to removing
the switch from Washington and King
streets and use King and Columbus
streets as passing point.
In event of fire, how is this going
to relieve the King street congestion
with all of the traffic practically
starting from the intersection of
King and Pitt streets.
