The man who can work and won't

reeds to be compelled, not so much
for the sake of his own lazy frame as
for the sake Oh the rest Of the peo-
pie, more especially for the fine and
able young men whom we are send
ing abroad to fight our battles in this
most momentous year. The above is
suggested by the Richmond Virginian,
which also calls attention 70 the fact
that there is a bill reposing peace
fully in the files Of Committee, Of
the house of delegates which wa:
drawn with the purpose Of putting

GERMANY'S RANK INSINCERITY

Guerilla warfare in Russia has be-
Gun. and is a portent of what is to
come if the Germans persist in their
oecupation of an "armyless" nation.
The Richmond Journal directs atten-
ton to Napoleon's narrowing expert
ences in 1912 which, that paper sug-
gests. are likely to be duplicated
among Won Hindenburg's troops, II
the advance continues. 1t will be re-
called that the Russians skilfuily re-
treated before the enemy, deliberate
" wasting the country and carry
ing off the supplies, but avoiding, SO
far as possible, all engagements. The
Cossacks, like wasps, hung upon his
flank and stung him repeatedly. Or
course. the German communications
will be kept open, but the farther
they penetrate into the interior the
harder to protect their base line.
Even if they occupy Petrograd and
Moscow, of what use, strateglcally !!
Already, there are signs OF dlsaf-
lection in the Germany army Of IN
vssion, particularly in the Orsha dis
t,ict, impelling Won Hindenburg to
halt operations there. Austrian SOL
d:ers are distinctly mutinous. They
decline to accompany the Germans
on their march of annexation, and the
Austrian commanders, apparently,
dare not take extreme measures,
knowing the temper OF the people at
home. 1t is precarious time for
Emperor Carl and the militarist!c
party. Even in Germany, the vote OF
protest is raised by the Socialist
Scheidemann, to the sort of peace
that is being forced on Russia. The
yaunted dis!nterestedness Of Ger
many, as expressed by Won Hertling is
Of course, farcical, in view of the
lust Tor conuest now displayed. 1t IS
more than ever evident that only a
sound drubbing. administered by the
allies, can bring the pig-headed Ger
-n,aas-to their senses. They still have
the idea that they are invincible, and
the people will have to be disabused
of that notion in drastic manner
before peace terms can be considered.

BE YE PATIENT.

4 The sudden advent into our. city OF
!; thousands of strangers, most OF
whom are employed by the Virginia
Shipb"ild;ng Corporation, together
with many automobiles and auto
trucks have, 1T times, caused con-
gcsticns at certain points. This should
have been expected. While the great
mass Of our people are overjoyed to
sec such animated scenes in our city,
"a few--yery few have taken Of
STense at the temporary parking of
automobiles and tracks in front of
their property, or property III which
they are interested. This should not
be. IS all should be ready to tole-
rate any such acts in consideration
Of the great augmentation of bust
ness which has been brought to
Alexandria.
In 1892, when the electric railway
company was laying tracks on King
street. those engaged in the work
piled ccS0lestones upon one side of
the street This was the best that
could be done, under the circumstan-
ceS, and in a short time they were
replaced on the street from which
they had been taken. But disgruntled
citizen complained to the Mayor Of

SPRING DRAWETH NEAR.

March has entered like lamb. 1t
may make its exit as lion. ms
observation recalls conditions when
accompanied the first two or three
DAYS of March four years ago, when
a rigid northwest wind with Velo-
CITY Of sixty-one miles an hour kept
many people in suspense for at least
forty-cight hours when old Boreas
began to subside At that time ice ex-
tended down the river as far as
Blackistone's Island.
March made its advent IN 1914 on
Sunday. A cold and strong northwest
wind set in during the afternoon as
the day waned it gathered force, and
after dark veritable tornado was
raging. Many people feared to retire
ito their beds, the fall Of chimneys and
walls were imminent. There was but
little sleep, for many through
out the long bleak night, and next
morning PROSTATE trees were en-
ccuntered in the streets, while limbs
had been twisted from others. Con-
dit.ons had not improved to any eX-
{ tent after the advent Of day. In some
places chimneys had been blown down
and walls of houses had been de-
molished. Old Boreas held his own I'M
til Tuesday, when his force became
abated.
The anxiety experienced on that
memorable Sunday night was akin
to that of David Copperfield at Var
mouth on the night the body of his
school mate Steerfurth was washed
ashore. The storm described by Dick
ems was an actual occurrence, and
he incorporated it in his novel.
But our object is to contrast con-
ditions in Alexandria during the APP
preaching spring of 1918 with those
which preceded it. The old city is
more alive today than at any other
time in it's history. Our streets are
crowded with strangers and there is
work at renlunerative wages for
all who desire employment. The ac-
tivities in the southeastern section o.
the city, where the Virginia Ship
building Corporation is preparing the
ground upon which to construct iron
steamships are becoming more ami
mated all the time, while the num-
Der Of automobiles, auto trucks, etc,
which are being used in the work are
being multiplied all the time. The num-
Der Of electric trains operating be-
tween this city and Washington are
being increased. owing to the de-
mands upon them, and an era of
prosperity has struck our old city
which is causing JOY and gladness
among all classes.
Some wiseacres predict an early
spring. Should their forecasts ma
terialize, the corporation which has
labored in our midst will within the
next few months 'metamorphose old

@skids" pass into the stores. Such IN
conveniences are to be expected IN
large or growing cities and Alex
andrians should acquire that lesson at
present.
We want people here, and moth
ing should be done towards checking
those who have come among us to
stay. Of. course, every oceupier OF
property has the right to object to
any vehicle standing in front of his
premises, but, under present con-
ditions, he should be slow IN assert
ing it.
