WORK OR FIGHT LAW.

Representative from the five local
exemption boards of Richmond, as we'll
as the appeal agents Of the govern
ment, held a special meeting this
week for the purpose OF instituting a
vigorous campaign to enforce the
"wcrk or fight" regulations recently
approved by Provost Marshal General
Crowder.
On ani after August l. the young
man in Richmond at present registered
with the local boards in a deferred
class, who is found to beidle or en-
gagged in nonproductive employment,
will find himself indicted into the
army without further ceremony. The
enforcement Of the anti-loafing law
will be given into the hands of the
police, and the representatives of the
government in Richmond have the as
surancc Of Mayor Ainslie that he is
but awaiting their instructions to
issue the orders for rounding up the
loafers and nonproducers.
ct;cn similar RI that which has
been taken in Richmond is expected to
follow in all cities of the common
wealth.

ANOTHER SEDAN?

"Sedan," is the word on all lips, the
picture in all minds at present. For
unless miracle happens Foch is
about to do to the German Crown
Princes army what Moltke did to the
French in that historic battle, which
ended the Franco russian war so
ANONYMOUSLY for France. He is in
a fair way of doing what the little
Moltke tried to do at the Marine four
years ago, and what Ludendorff set
out to do in his last drive.
Never has enlightenment bee so COM
plete as it is now. The Crown Princes
army is like a dying man in his last
hours. Every new contracting mile
deprives it of breathing power.
Foch's infantry wall is closing in,
slowly but steadily, threatening to
crush the huge Teuton army in its
clutch. With every hour their grip
tightens. With every hour the Ger
mans lose more maneuvering space.
If the pressure keeps on there will be
no room even for retreat.
Five hundred thousand Germans are
in the death trap.

GERMAN HAUTEUR.

The following conversation is said to
have taken place recently between a
captured German officer and an Eng
ishman:
II not wish to insult YOU" said
the German. "but you English are we'll
intended fools. We who govern in
Germany are not like you. We gov
ern the fools; the fools govern you
"yolr principles are sweeping re-
piled the Briton. ''To come down to
practice, what have YOU to say about
the guilt Of beginning the war;"
"Cuilty?" demanded the German;
ut was a glory. I claim it for Ger
many"
THAT is hardly your official view"
"The official view is for the fools"
"But you believe in the Prussian
purpose behind all tnis?" asked the
British officer
u do, as in nothing else replied
the German. THE rrussian purpose
is God. There is 10 other. Prussia
will rend the veil Of the temple, but
she will destroy to create. Against
Prpssian might the world rs it exists
today will fall in ruins, bat Prussia
Ew;lb build q better and more virile
world in its place. Strength only will
survive. The lie OF men is naturally

many any among her allies are prov
ing more serious daily.
Bulgaria, facing starvation and
ruin, may be the first of the central
powers alliance to desert Kaiser Will
helm and his war. Recent dispatches
show that internal conditions in Bull
garia are rapidly approaching state
similar to those in Germany and Aus
ALPHABETICALLY Austria.
Hundreds of people are dying from
starvation and disease. Outbreaks of
the civilian population have been re-
pressed by barbarous methods. Both
the army and the people of Bulgaria
are clamoring for peace. The army
has been so weakened by deaths ana
assertions that the class of 1918 has
been set into the first line trenches.

PROPOSED .CURFEW LAW.

AS will be seen by the proceedings
Of the adjourned meeting of the Com
mon Council last night that board has
adopted the ordinance to provide a
curfew law for the city Alexandria,
Va, to define the persons to be at
fected thereby and to impose pen
atty for the violation thereof" The
vote stood ayes I, noes A. The or
d;nance will now go to the Board of
Aldermen, and should that branch of
the City Council concur in the action
of the lower board it will be submitted
to the Mayor for his approval or dis
approval.
Attempts have at times for many
wears been made by the legislative
body of this city to prepare and pass
what is known as a curfew law. Many
reasons are urged why such statute
should be in the code, while objections
tc such measure are also numerous.
allowing boys and girls to prowl the
streets after dark is hazardous, to say
the least, for reasons which it IS I'M
necessary to state, while at the same
time in the twentieth century, while
conditions are in no way similar to
those in the days of William the Con-
oueror, the enforcement Of law
which requires all children under the
age of sixteen to be in the house at
7 o'clock p. M, will be found difficult.
At this time numbers Of young peo-
ple. some Of whom have been made
men and women in their childhood
DAYS by reason of being compelled to
work here and there, anticipate the
close of their days labor that they
may have liberty for few hours be-
fore bedtime. Under this proposed
law this class would be forced to re-
main within doors almost as soon as
they shall have swallowed their sup
pers.
The ringing Of bells to warn all
such to enter their homes under pain
of arrest would reproduce memories
Of ante bcllum days in Alexandria
when the night watchlnen at 10 o'clock
sounded their horns from Il building
whcih stood upon the site Of the pres
ent Police Court room announcing
that the time had come when all
negroes, free OF bond, must leave the
streets.
The sound of the bells would also be
suggestive of the time il British his
tory when the Normans made the
cities of England as quiet as church
yards after a certain hour ut night.
