WOOL GARMENTS NEEDED
FOR AMERICANS AT SEA
Boys Who Brave the Elements to
Protect the Nation Should Have
Warm Garments to Wear

An appeal has come from Norfolk
Virginia, for more knitted garments
for the men of the navy. The demand
for the articles is SO great that it is
difficult to meet it promptly, and
there is no Indication of a lessening
of the demand. Norfolk being naval
station submarine chasers, mine
sweepers and other small war craft
are being launched continuously. 1t
is for the sailors that man these boats
and who are subjected to the elements
both night and day in patroling our
coast that call comes that all may be
supplied with warm sweaters, socks
and helmets before leaving the har-
bor Our local naval auxiliary to the
Red Cross are anxious to have all
their knitters continue in the good
work The executive committee is
planning for another tag day next
week. Owing to the scarcity of sugar
the cooked food sales have been
abandoned for the present, and other
means will have to be employed to
raise funds for more yarn.

vital even than in other countries
A young man leaves his home in
India to be educated; he comes, per-
haps to the English university, anG
at the end of three years he returns
| home to marry an Indian girl of his
own social position. During his col
/ days the young man has associated
with cultivated Europeans, has learn
ed many of their ways, has become
used to clever well-informed con-
versation and companionship. What
about his Indian bride? If she has
been brought up in the traditional
Indian way she will be quite uneduca-
ted according to western. standards,
and will know little of life outside her
immediate surroundings. All her
days she will have been kept in Sc
clusion, for the ultimate purpose of
marriage at the age of 13 or IA.

ct is because feel the position of
the Indian girls so keenly,/ because I
realize the grave dangers which their
general inability to be real helpers en-
tails, that I am so enthusiastic and So
anxious to do all I can to help.
"My husband has executed a deed
of trust of his whole estate for the /
founding of an institution to educate
Indian and Cingalese girls, and has
made it an essential point that creed
and caste shall be no bar. We hope
to introduce into the school a thor !
ough knowledge of English. A college
will be built, and will include resi-
Dental quarters where the students ,
will live. A girl can study until the !
age of IS, and this I think very i'm
portant, for the prevailing early mar
rying age in India at present cannot |
but prove detrimental to the physical
well-being of our women"
A site for the college has been given
by Sir Ali Imam, one of the leading
native lawyers.

HUGE GIFT MADE
BY INDIAN PRINCE
$7,OOO,00O DONATED FOR FOUND
ING OF WOMEN'S EDUCATIONAL
INSTITUTION

LONDON-( Correspondence of The
Associated Press)-One of the greatest
charitable gifts in the histor OF
India has just been announced at
DelG- The Maharaj Kumar of Tikari,
one of the wealthy native princes, has
executed deed of trust devoting his
entire personal estate to founding an
institution for the education of Indian
women. The property concerned is
valued at about $7,0OO,0OO. In view
of the much greater purchasing power
of money in India, it is believed that
the gift will accomplish as much pro-
portionately as a gift of nearly 10
times the size in England or America.
Dependent members of the Mahar-
ais family have already been provid-
ed for by separate funds, and all liza
bilities of the estate are duly secured.
The scheme is for strictly "purdah"
residential institution, where the
girls will be trained and educated on
the best modern principles from the
age of five to 1S. There will be no
question of caste or creed
( Gift Inspired by Wife
The gift owed it's inspiration largely
to the Maharajs wife, who has been
one of the foremost of her sex in the
crusade for the improvement of the
lot Of Indian women The Maharaj
himself was one of the first native
princes to fight In France, and has
spent over two years on the battlefield.
He was brought up by English tutors
in India and has been a great travel
Ter
The Maharaj's wife, in a letter de- /
scribing the gift, says:

problem demanding the attention OF
all governments in every country in !

An order, just issued by Proves
Marshal-General Crowder, indicates
purpose on the part of the government
to impress newly married men into
military duty, through draft.
Exemption boards have been lenient
with the newlyweds. Thousands of
bridgegrooms whose QUESTIONABLE an
swers told of wives largely dependent
on them for support have been granted
deferred classiications by the boards.
Now comes an order to appeal agents
to take an appeal from all such de-
cisions by the subordinate officials.
Government appeal agents are di-
rected to appeal to district board
every case where a draft registrant,
married since May IS, 1917, has been
granted deferred classification by his,
local board on account of being mar
ried
This does not mean that the gov
eminent is seeking to revoke deferred
classifications granted to men who
have married since May IS, 1917 The |
main purpose of the order is to obtain
uniformity of action in handling appli-
cations for deferred classification by
men who have married since the Sc
1ective service law went into effect
AT the same time, district boards
will give careful scrutiny to each such
aoc H. I, |
been too lenient in their Interpretation
of the regulations in this connection,
reversal of their ruling may be ex-
pected from the district board
The governments attitude on war
is shown In this quotation
from the selective service regulations:
ION May 1S, 1917, every person sub
ject to registration had notice of his
obligation to render military service
TO his country. The purpose of the Sc
ective service law was not to suspend
he institution of marriage among
but boards should scruti-
lize marriages since May 18, 1917, and
those hastily effected since
hat time, to determine whether the
marriage relation was entered into
With primary view of evading mill

ot to be the case boards are hereby
uthorized to disregard the relation

ALEXANDREA'S WATER RATES

The statement made last night by
S. G. Brent, counsel for the people
against the Alexandria Water Com
pany, at the joint meeting of the
city council was anticipated The
movement started some time ago for
the purpose Of bringing about lower
rates has resulted in the engineer Of
the State Corporation Commission
bringing in 4 report recommending an
incrcsc. Should this report be adopt
ed by the commission, consumers with
but one opening will be compelled in
the future to pay twelve dollars in
stead of six, as at present, while in
cases where new openings are made
fifteen dollars will be charged. Toi-
lets and bathrooms, now containing
one opening in each, will be rated at
eight dollars instead of six, while
those using garden hose will pay three
dollars, rs at present.
OF course, these rates are at pres
ent but possibilities, and Mr.. Brent will
appear before the commission and
protest against the proposed in
creases.
Water IS a necessity. and its intro
duction into our houses is a great con-
vvenience. But The Gazette never
has seen any good reason why the
present rates in Alexandria should be
Increased Since the formation of the
Alexandria Water Company, nearly
seventy years ago. the area furnish
ed has been more than doubled. Cam
eron water is not only used in Alex
andria proper, but in all the small
towns and villages which have been
brought into existence near our city
during those years. The massive plant
now in operation has been construct
ed from profits earned in our city, as
we'll rs the dividends which are paid
yearly. There are virtually no pumps
IN Alexandria at present, and there
is but one means of supply-that of
the Alexandria Water Company.

safeguards. They were find S. each.
Another colored man, charged with
ali infraetion of the law, viii appear
tonight. as ,yf,r.
This law was passed at time when
a mad-dog scare was raging in this
community. Several persons in Rose
mont had been bitten by ours, sup
posed to be suffering from hydro
phobia, and the city council adopted
the ordinance requiring the muzzling
of all dogs which are turned loose
in the streets. During the past five
wears virtually no attention has been
paid to this law. It is now the pur-
rose of the authorities to enforce it,
and all interested should take due
l,3ice and act accordingly. 1t ma.
De stated in. this connection that
leather straps over the noses Of dogs
will not do, as they do not properly
muzzle the dogs. Wire muzzles will
be needed.
It is useless to call attention to the
fact that the city is and has long been
infested with useless CANNES, nearly
all of which go unmuzzled.
In many cases residents harbor
more than one dog. The late George
w. Rock once said that poor man
owned one dog, and real poor man
two. In the summer of 1913 an old
negro man, bearing all the evidences
of poverty, was brought into the police
court to answer the charge of keeping
three unlicensed ours. He was fined
S. for each, and paid the assessment.

ITALIAN MILITARY HEADQUAR-
TIERS, April 24.-Certain French news
papers have stated enormously that
Gen di Robilant is in command of the
Italian contingent of the allied army
In France. Undoubtedly as the Italian
member of the Versailles military
council, he will have a certain direc-
ton of the Italian troops. but they are
actually commanded by another gen.
toned.
Gen. di Robilant is certainly one of
the most brilliant of the Italian gen.
erals. AS commander of the fourth
army in Galore and then after the re-
treat between the Brenta and the Piave
he made an exceptional career. He was
largely responsible for the magnificent
defense of Monte Tomba Monte
Grappa and Monte Asolene last fall.
Highly honored by his officers and
loved by the men in the army he is
often jokingly referred to as Robilant
Pasha because the title was conferred
on him some years ago by the Turk
tsh government after he organized for
the Turks the Macedonian gendarmerie.
In appointing him to the allied coun-
Gil the Italian government has shown
the same desire to contribute in every
possible way to the general efficiency.
1t was this which made Premier Or
lando early in the present battle on
the western front, offer Italian troops
to France.
