Open Season on Skunks.

With closed season on partridge
and the gradual depletion of all
kinds of game the lover of the
woods who is i'll hard straits for a
chance to exercise that itching trig-
ger finger may find that the action
of the Wisconsin conservation COM
mission in declaring an open sea
son on skunks opens the way to let
loose of the pent-up feeling of want
ing to shoot something. OF course
the rabbit hunting season is now
open but the true rabbit hunter
does not take to hunting this game
until snow has fallen, when dogs,
which are a necessity to full real
iZation of this sport, may be used
to best advantage. And with the
deer season still some weeks away
there is no incentive for the wary
hunter to get out the scatter gun or
the rifle and hit the winding trails
or trek through the timber, unless
they take cognizance of the fact that
in the eyes of the conservation com
mission the four footed pole cat is
game" and can now be legally
pursued and killed. But further
than declaring that the little animal
is destroyer of ground nesting
birds and therefore should be made
prey for the hunter the commission
does not express itself. However,
to the initiated it may be taken foi
granted that gas masks would be in
order in the haunts of the skunks
as we'll as in the trenches.
The conservation commission will
also make recommendations to the
legislature in January that the clos
ed season on partridges, prairie
chickens, woodCock etc, be cont
inued for two years. According to
/ Commissioner w. +. Barber these
birds are increasing and a big hatch

AMERICANS IN ALSACE

The Philadelphia Record calls at
tention to interesting suggestions IN
the news that our troops are IN that
small part CT Alsace which France
recovered early in the war. A large
part of our troops have been near the
Alsatian frontier since last fall We
learned of it when German newspa-
pers warned Switzerland that we were
going to violate it's neutrality. Troops
near Alsace are also near Switzerland.
To American troops was assigned
the task Of recovering the lost prov
inces for our sister republic. This
spring the plans were changed; and 1t
was deemed best to let the Germans
dash themselves to pieces against the
allied line for while. But now more
Of our troops have been put into Al
SAGE, and it may mean that the for
ward movement of the allies is not
distant, and that the Germans are to
be attacked q; more than one point,
which the increasing numbers OF the
allies makes possible, anc That the az
sienment of the Americans to drive
the Huns out of the territory they
robbed France of in 1870 has been
renewed.
AS our cotemporary observes, Ger
manv could not carry on the war for
thirty days without the iron she is
stealing from the occupied region of
France and from Alsace-Lorralne,
wrested from France in the former
war. These iron ore districts lie only
a few miles east Of the battle line. In
1871 Germany eXtorted from France
what it supposed was the whole of the
iron ore district. 1t happened that
the district was larger than the Ger
mar experts supposed. One of the
principal reasons why Germany at
tackled France in 1914 was the de-
termination to get the ore beds that
were overlooked III 1871.
The Americans have only got to
drive about thirty miles into what was
German territory in 1914, to cut off
the greater part of the German iron
supplies, and ii at the same time the
French could. recover the Briey and
Iongwy districts. to get which Ger
many concentrated troops on the from
tier before the declaration of war, and
while France was keeping its troops
back ten kilometers from the boun-
Diary, Germany would have to give up
in a month for lack of iron and steel.

ALL THINGS COME TO THOSE
WHO WAIT

AS Alexandria's commercial tide
spreads more and more each week the
people are becoming enthused. They
are witnessing scenes in their midst at
present never dreamed of less than
one year ago. The population is IN
creasing by leaps and bounds, while
the streets are thronged with people,
a large percentage of whom are
strangers.
The boom given Alexandria during
the civil war was of the skyrocket ma
ture and known to be such by more
rejecting people at the time. 1t was
likened unto an abnormal tide, which
spreads over points far beyond the
high-water mark, but when it falls
as fall it Wilt leaves f1otsam only.
But the activities now in evidence are
TO be durable and those conducting
them have come here to stay.

Our old city has had its trials and

pointments, but our people have never
lost hope. Like the massive oak, our

on The Gazette, ard was at one time
auditor % the city and in 1869 one
of the delegates from Alexandria
city and coUAty in the Legislature.
He died in tie early part of 1881.
His sen, the subject of this notice,
displayed artistic genius in early life.
and half century ago painted a
picture which attracted general at
tention at that time. 1t represented

and studied it with interest. This was
virtually the beginning OF young

The Czecho-Slovak army in Rus
STA, 100000 strong, holds 700 kilo-
meters of the trans-Siberian Rail
way. The little army of refugees
and prisoners OF war is rapidly ac-
curing territory and power in the
heart of Russia, according to official
dispatches received in Washington
Yesterday. 1t expresses its unalter-
able determination to come back into
the battle line against Germany.
This was but one of number of
indications received here yesterday
indicating in striking manner that
the eastern front against Germany
is soon to be re-established.
The rising of the cossacks in the
Don Region is reported from kief
as steadily gaining ground.
The railway men of Russia have
announced their determination to
support the Czecho- Slovaks in their
effort to get back into the battle
line.
In Austria, congress of the peo-
pie of German race has declared IN
favor of the treaty between Emperor
Karl and the kaiser and against any
Cancellation toward Italy, the Jugo-
Slavs or the Czechs.
The result of this and of the APP
parent check of the Austrian drive
into Italy is predicted to be prompt
uprising of the subject nationalities
of Austria.
From Berne it is reported that the
Wolff agency admits that the anti
Bolsheviki Cossacks in the Don re-
gion have succeeded in rallying.
Berne dispatches also tell Of the
growing seriousness of the clash be-
tween the Germans and the Czechs.
The Germans have just concluded a
congress in the town hall Of Vienna.
They have declared their adherence
to all the pan-Germanic doctrine
which has stirred up the Bohemians
and Slavs. In welcoming the coll
gress, the mayor of Vienna, Merss-
kirchner, declared:
"Our very existence depends upon
the alliance with Germany and on
the granting of guarantees against
the Slav peril"

SUNK BY SUBMARINE
Underwater Boat Sinks
German Craft of Virginia Coast

New York, June 15.-One German
submarine was sunk by an American
submarine off the Virginia coast last
Friday morning, according to a story
told here yesterday by persons ar
irving on a steamer from Cuba. These
asserted that the details were OBJ
tanned from officers of the American
submarine, who exchanged greetings
with officers of the liner not far from
New York while the United States
submarine was taking supplies from
mother ship.
As told, the story is as follows:
Last Friday morning the American
submarine sighted big German L.
boat with deck guns. Evidently the
German failed to spot the American,
which submerged and fired torpedo.
A. great conclusion resulted and the
American emerging could see nothing
of the German, but oil and wreckage
were observed upon the water. Names
of the naval officers alleged to have
sponsored this account were not OBJ
tainable.

THE APPROACHING PRIMARY

AS time goes on and the day for
holding the Democratic primary cleo
ton for Congressman from the Eighth
district draws nearer, yt becomes more
and more apparent that it IS unfortu-

that nomination within the Demo-
cratic party. The Republicans patrl-
otically, determined; that the present
was no time to disturb the able rep
resentative now performing his du-
ties as the Congressman from this dis
trict. Hence for the first time since
the close of the civil war they deter
mined to let well enough alone.
The Democrats in every other dis
trict in the state came to the same
conclusion-it being out of place to
disturb present conditions while the
war cloudi is lowering over our land.
Members o. the party in the Ninth
district, very properly, appreciated
Mr.. Slemp's patriotism and refralned
from giving him any trouble at the
approaching general election. They
have n.ade no nomination.

are giving shack. se>: in the interests
Of patriotism.
But it is hard to reason with obdu-

Element by West Virginia.
Richmond, Va, June 19.-Gov. J.
J. Cornwell, of West Virginia, has
called a conference Of the Virginia
State debt commission to be held at
White Sulphur on date convenient to
both parties, when an effort will be
made to settle the state debt amount
ing to many millions of dollars.
When West Virginia separated and
became a state, commission was
named to make an apportionment of
the then state indebtedness, each de-
Gliding to pay its proportionate share.
This was more than fifty years ago,
but up to date no settlement has been
reached. The case has been heard by
the United States Supreme Court and
recently a decision was rendered IN
favor Of Virginia.
The question to be taken up at the
conference will be the devising of
means to collect the funds to satisfy
the debt, most of w-i:cil IS neid ~
New York and Baltimore people who
bought the bonds, some as low as 10
cents on 81, it is said.
While more than s12,000,000 with

this state will receive but 100000 in
the settlement, the remainder going
to the bondholders.
