Local Dealers Say Consump-

Patriotic Citizens Disprove
The Assertion That Day
Is Failure

This was mcatlcss day, Have you
observed it? Millions of people
throughout the country "swOrc or
meat today and are doing it every
Tuesday. Why not you?
A certain congressman recently
made the statement that meatless.
Tuesday YVES practically failure
that the people were eating meat on
Tuesday just the same as they had
previous TO tho time that this day
was set aside for making that sacri.
flee. Local butchers say that this Is
not the case, at least not in Mt. Yer
non. II Is true, the butchers say, that
many people do not observe the meat
less day, but ii IL also true that u
that their trade has fallen of pcrccp-
tibly ono says his Tuesday trade
has been cut in half.
AS To the matter Of price ono, can
not estimate just what difference II
meatleas day has made, but ir il has
changed the price, the change has
becu 80 slight that it Is scarcely no
tiCeablC.
OBSERVED IN CITIES
The above facts are true concern
Ing the local condition only. In larger
cities, tho saving OF mcat-the OBJ
scrvancc by the people OF mcatless
day-is many times greater than in
this city, Many families who might
not make the regular Tuesday sacri
flee, do SO owing to the fact that the
men take dinner downtown while the
women, having to think only of them
selves, prepare II light lunch, usually
with no meat,
FROM this, il may he seen that
mcatlcss Tuesday is really Il pro
nounced success here, Experts say
that ii is fact, though questioned
one, that an enormous saving of meat
has been brought about by the action
taken by so many people and that
there would be an even greater saw
ing ii more of them would observe It..

LAST HUN PEACE KITE

A cotemporary today contains i
picture of the kaiser contemplating a
picture of himself. The prints show
the German ruler holding up his hands
while under MIN is the word "kame-
rad" Under the picture are these
words, "rhe Allies Peace Answer"
Germany, beyond all doubt, would
gladly lay down her arms tomorrow
if she were permitted to have free
hand in Russia. She would give up
Belgium; she would satisfy France
by the cession of Alsace and Lorraine,
and might even force Austria to re-
store Trieste to Italy. All this could
be done provided the Prussian militar-
lists were able to confscate Russia
and hand that vast empire over to
their people as the booty of war and
the mark of victory.
But there is no peace in sight.
There is nothing in any German pro-
posal worthy of minutes considera-
ton by this or any other allied gov
eminent. The war will go right on
until a military decision has been
reached favorable to the allies. The
latter are in a position to enforce the
terms of unconditional surrender
and they will do it.
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1918-07-25
FACTS REACH GERMANY

Germany has been invaded across
every frontier by facts which the gov
eminent tried TO keep cut, but could
mot, and they are now assuming pro-
portions in Germany which will affect
the course Of the war.
The duration Of the war, which was
to have been completed in a few
weeks and is now approaching its
fourth anniversary is fact that the
German government cannot exclude,
and which is impairing the German
power of resistance. The fact that
there will be no indemnities and Ger
many will stagger for generations
under an appalling lead of debt can
not be concealed from the Germans;
and it is not exactly stimulating Ger
man heroism.
The great and decisive facts which
Germany has tried to exclude from it's
jurisdiction are the failure of four
years fighting against the English
and French and the enormous rein
forcements America is sending them.
All these detailed facts are prying
Germany open TO the one great and
overwhelming fact, which is finding
it's way past frontier guards into
every part of the country, that Ger
many cannot win the war, and that
the longer it protracts the war the
greater will be its losses in blood and
in wealth, and that the only alterra-
tives before it are to give in now, or
give'in after the war losses and SUI
ferings have become much greater.
There is no other alternative.
Although the kaiser has assumed
from the beginning that God is with
him nature is conducting a "starva-
ton drive" against Germany and
Austria. While the crops of America
and her allies promise this year to
break all records for size, those of
Germany and her allies will be smaller
than at any time since the war began.

THE PREVAILING HEAT WAVE

The torrid conditions which set in
in this section Of the country last
Sunday are still in evidence. The
mercury in most thermometers in this
city yesterday conferred about the 95
degree mark. Toward the close of the
day clouds gathered in the heavens,
and there was heavy downpour of
rain south and southeast Of Alexan-
ira. The wind later changed from the
northwest and rain clouds were watt
ed over this city. Growing vegetables
in gardens had been suffering for sew
eral days, and the rain which feel be-
tween T and s o'clock was refreshing.
After the passing of the rain cloud
conditions became sultry, and it was
hot last night A high temperature
has prevailed today.
There was anoth-cr copious rain
this afternoon.

SUNK BY SUBMARINES
Steamer Justicia Attacked Off North
of Ireland; Ten Lives Are Lost

London, July 25-"Flotilla attacks"
U-boats concentrating on "big game"
carried out by half dozen or more
constitute the newest phase of Ger
many's warfare, as shown in the tor
pedoing off the north Irish coast Sat
urday morning of the 33,O0O-ton Bri-
fish transport Justicia, the fourth
largest vessel in the world
The fact that only ten members of
the crew of more than 500 were lost
in the sinking Of the giant transport,
which was bound for an American
port, and which had carried many
thousands of American troops to
Europe, is one Of several cheerful
features of her loss, another being
the effective defense she put up in a
24-hour battle with fiotilla of prob
ably eight submarines, one of which
was sent to the bottom by depth
bomb
Four torpedoes were exploded BY
gunfre from the Justicia as they
were speeding toward her-a feat of
gunnery commented on everywhere
with the greatest praise
1t is considered highly probable
that one or more other U-bcats were
destroyed by depth bombs in addition
to the one which is known to have
been sent to the bottom
The Justicia remained afloat for
several hours Of the score of torpe-
does sent against her only two hit,

JUSTICE IS BLINDFi.ODED

In comparatively small civ.
where the great mass Of the inhao
tants are acquainted with each othcr,
the dispensation of justice is too often
hampered. There seems to be IN
impression among some that they
should not be held accountable for
their shortcomings in the way Of ne
glect of certain laws of the city and
state. At the present time, when the
authorities are engaged in clean
up campaign, this notion is often
manifest.
The members Of The police force are
earnestly CT the job, and through
their efforts numbers of persons,
white and colorcd, are found to be
derelirt in obeying the statutes which
are intended for the good Of all. The
officers, however. are at times con-
fronted by people who seem to sup
pose laws do net apply to them, and
after having been duly warned of the
consequences Of placing rubbish or
putrid matter n any street or alley
they ignore the suggestions of police
men and are brought before the police
court. Such may expect no holding
up Of the law in their cases.
The ancients, who taught wisdom
by personifying everything, repre-
sented Justice as a woman with
bandage over her eres. She bore a
sword in her hand, and tie effigy was
intended 70 make plan that the god
dess ccuii see neither friend ror foe
while dealing with lawbreakers.
t,sSIhe enforcement Of the dog laws
Brings friends and foe Of the officers
face to: face in the police court. It is
imperative that justice don her hood

when the evidence IS clear she must
