front line trenches and the training
camps:
"The morals Of the members OF the
American forces are of the highest
type. The soldiers live clean lives
morally, and the percentage of indis-
cretions is Insignificant compared With
the ordinary American city. The sol
diers show a devoted spirit in their
mission here and are eager, for re-
ligious message"
In this connection it may be stated
that more soldiers attend church serv-
iccs in Alexandria at present than
was noted during our. civil war or that
with Spain, when the city was
thronged with soldiers.
There was no sessions Of the Police
Court last Friday or Saturday, Alex
andria having been reported as re,
markably quiet. And this notwith'
standing the fact that many soldiers
white and colored, were seen on the
streets. There were no cases on the
docket yesterday morning, and today
but one case of disorderly conduct wa:
reported, that having been row be-
tween two negroes-not soldiers-whc
became involved over a room.

MEXICO AND CUBA
Havana Withdraws Representative
Minister at Mexican Capital.

Minister at Mexican Capltai.
Havana, May 27.-Diplomatic re-
lations between Cuba and Mexico have
not been severed, although they are
somewhat strained, according TO intor-
nation secured here.
A crisis is unlikely 50 far as Cuba
is concerned, il was said.
Mexico City, May 27.-Slexico has
severed diplomatic relations WITH
Cuba. This was learned officially
after report that the Mexican
charge d'afaires at Havana and the
Cuban minister here had been recalled
from their respective posts had been
confirmed at the foreign office.
The Cuban minister to Mexico, DR..
Ezeuuiel Garcia Ensenat, has not yet
arrived in Mexico City, having been
appointed only recently. During the
interval DR.. Luis Santamaris y Calvo
has been acting charge. The Next
can charge at Havana is Alberto {.
Franco.
The recall of the Mexican represen-
tative to Cuba and the suspendhg tol
an indefinite time OF the sending Of 9
new representative is explained offi,
cially as due to the fact that because
of the war in which Cuba is involves
that government has been obliged te
dictate measures that affect the inter
ests of the Mexican government in
many instances.

of foreign affairs, gave out state

THE KAISER AND THE WAR
] hcV are so dear 70 I
God save our men.

At times during the progress OF the
uresent war attempts have been made
TO exonerate the kaiser from the
blame Of setting the world upon
fire by precipitating the terrible
conditions which now beset man
kin Z, Some Of his less censorl-
Gus critics prefer 10 believe that the
emperor desired peace, and that ne
was led to take the fatal step by the
demands OF his war lords. Whether
or not he is responsible for the pres
ent fearful carnage, will be settled by
the future historian.
II is noticeable that every time
Germany finds herself clogged in the
prosecution Of the war the statement
i made that the kaiser's hands are
clean. It is so now when the leu
tonic fighting machine seems to be
again in the momlre.
A dispatch from Paris says new
theory explaining why Germany has
DELAYED her resumption OF the often
siye in the west is brought direct from
Germany by a Spanish statesman ar
irving here.
According to this diplomat the
kaiser did not approve, and does not
yet approve, of the tremendous OF
fens;ve conducted by Hindcnburg, Lu-
dendorf and the crown prince. The
effort was forced on him by them
and by the military party.
"They promised the KAISER saM
this statesman. chat Amiens would
he CAPTURED and the French and Brit
ish armies would be crushed by May
/, They said that although it would
COST an enormous sacrifice IN lives,
The German army would reach the sea.
"Now the German people realize
that this plan is failure. Therefore,
the kaiser, who opposed the offensive,
is stronger than ever with the popu-
lace, while Hindenburg, Ludendorfi
and the crown prince are getting the
blame.
",rh;s will mean that the kaiser VIII
place Prince Won Buelow back III pow
er and new peace offensive will be
launched.
"For this reason the kaiser has for
hidden . renewal of the offensive"
This new mention Of Prince Won
Buelow's name is considered sign'tl-
cant becausc Of the princes position
in German politics. He has been
practically self-exiled since his fall;-
ure to keep Italy from entering the
war, having retired to Lucerne, SWltz-
crland.
But Buclcw before the war was con-
coded to be Germans greatest states
man, and reports from Berlin have
declared that when the kaiser IS ready
to throw his cards on the table in the
great game for world peace, he VIII

NEW SPIRIT IN ALEXANDRIA

There is new spirit abroad in
Alexandria. 1t is the spirit OF accom-
plishment, which is DOING THINGS.
It first became manifest in the
bringing to the city of the magnificent
shipbuilding plant of the Virginia
Shipbuilding Corporation. Eighty
five days ago the work Of construct
ing the yards was begun and today
a large portion of what was waste
land on the river front in the south
eastern section is covered with sub
stantial brick buildings where tnou-
sands of workingmen are employed.
On Thursday of this week the keel
of the first of twelve steel ships viii

government.
The same spirit was again mani
Tested in bringing to the city the
Conceal shipLuildine Company. which
is engaged in the manufacture of u
boat destroyers; also of the Briggs
Aeroplane Company and the AleXan-
dria Aircraft Corporation.
The reorganization Of the new Alex

nearly eight hundred members, was
another accomplishment, as was also
