The Work Of the Red Gross Must Go On
The American Red Cross is an emer-
gency organization by nature lit deals
with problems as they arise.
No better illustration of this fact
can be given than to recall its work
since America entered the war. If a
hospital was needed in an emergency
at any particular point-quickly the
Red Cross supplied it. If train load
of troops crossed the country and for
one reason or another the provisions
failed, the Red Cross has had the facili-
ties and the organization to cope the
situation and to send these boys on
their way happy and with full stomachs.
What has been the record of the Red
Cross-it has never failed to answer a
call of distress, no matter what or
| when or how that call came.
1t is already preparing for service in
peace times-but bigger, broader
service than ever undertaken by any
relief organization.
A message sent by the War Council
of the Red Cross to all chapters shows
that long ago definite plans were made
to meet the emergencies that are
bound to arise when peace is finally
here, 1t said in part.

THE SUBMARINE FIAsCO

The cunning but transparent fash
ion in which the Berlin bureau Of enc
my psychology is using the recent mi
submarine fare-up on our eastern
coast is exposed in an effective way
by the New York Times.
What could be more ridiculous, asks
the Times, than the asseveratlon OF
one sheet that "our submarines are
delivering decisive blows to French
hopes by checking the delivery OF
American soldiers and supplies!" With
such fustian stuff is the courage of
the sorely tried civilian population
kept, up. Between the lines may be
read the consciousness of the writers
that. while the censor is Needed, they
are imposing upon no one except, per-
haps, the aged and iialf-witted.
AS the Washington Herald says, the
war has gone on for nearly four years,
and it is no longer easy deceive a
distressed and disillusioned people. 1t
must be generally known throughout
Germany that the U-boats have never
checked the transportation OF British
and Canadian troops to France, and 1t
would therefore seem to be waste OF
printers ink to endeavor to persuade
the German people that the delivery"
of American troops is seriously inter-
fered with by all that the admiralty
can do.
Our cotemporary continuing says:
What a dismal, Observation-Disclosures
threat it is to say that the German
submarines on this side of the Allan
tic twill make the marrow in Wilson's
blood run cold!'
The German press DULLES will find
themselves answered by a Swiss pa
per, the National Zeitung, of Basic
which takes an intelligent view OF the
ill-advised adventure in the western
Atlantic. "The submarine campaign
On the American coast" it says, will
like all other similar undertakings
end with disappointment on the part
of the originators. American hatred
will be increased, and the war against
Germany will now become a matter
of personal importance for every
American"

WHY THE CHANGE?

The Gazette yesterday contained an
article headed "All Things Come to
Those Who Wait" in which we re-
ferred to the changed conditions IN
our city during the past few months
and the commercial activity which mas
followed.
1t may not be generally known but
it is fact nevertheless, that lew
years ago Alexandria did not appear
upon maps of folders of some ra'l-
roads We studied several IN bygone
wears, and found Fairfax, Manassas
Ouantico and other small places, but
failed to find Alexandria.
A newspaper man of Baltimore once
called our attention to the fact that
one of the leading dailies of the
Monumental City seldom, II ever,
mentioned Alexandria, no matter what
might be going on here.
After thinking over the suggestion
we often scanned the news columns oil
orr cotemporary and found that the
charge was true. While the names
of many small places in the state
often appeared, that of Alexandria
was conspicuous by its absence. Some
occurrence interesting to all readers
took place in this city recently. 1t
was of nature a newspaper could
mot afford to miss, and the Baltimore
paper alluded to was obliged to print
it. but it was started with Freder-
icksburg date, and no reference was
made to Alexandria.
For the first time in many years we
notice that our contemporary TO-DAY
used the name Of Alexandria in max
ing a comparison, and that, too, in
the editorial page. In computing the
distance between the German invad-
ers and Paris, It says the Huns are
about as close to the Franch capital
as Baltimore is to Alexandria.
In ante bellum and post bellum
days the paper enjoyed considerable
patronage in this city, but subse-
ouently the circulation waned until
il became negligible. About twenty
years ago attempts were made TO
build up the circulation. but they
failed, after which the paper ceased
to mention our city.

HUN CRAFT BOTTLED UP
Harbor of Zeebrngge Blocked Since
Recent British Naval Raid.

London, June 2U.-Twenty-one Ger
man destroyers, large number OF
submarines anu numerous auxiliary
craft are penned in the Bruges canal
docks as the result of the recent Brf.
ish naval operations at Zeebrugge, the
German submarine base on the Bel
eian coast. Thomas J. MacNamara
financial secretary of the admiralty,
made announcement in the House OF
Commons to this effect yesterday. ara
said that the operations were mare
successful than at first had been sup
posed. He added that the German
craft were now the subject of con-
slant bombing.
Amsterdam, June 2O.-The entrance
to the harbor of Zeebrugge is blocked,
according to Lieuts. George Howard
and John Read of the British Royal
Air force, who landed in the Province
of iceland Monday and are to be in
termed at The Hague. In an inter-
view published in the TELEGRAPH, they
say the Germans are working day and
night to clear the passage, but each
night British aviatcrs demolish the
Germans progress.
The cement ships sunk in the harbor
are still there, and the Germans are
afraid to blow them up for fear they
will also destroy the s:uices. The lieu
tenants assert that no submarines can
enter or leave Zeebrugge. The block
ade of Ostend is not so complete, but
the Germans are having great trouble
there.

SIC SEMPER TYRANN1S

For over century The Gazette has
printed the Virginia coat Of arms at
the ton of the editorial page. 1t was
omitted during the four years civil
war by reason of the destruction by
fire Of The Gazette plant, and the
cloud which, lowered over the country
at that time, but it reappeared at the
close of hostilities and still appears
IN each issue of the paper. 1t stands
as a prophetic picture of what VIII
surely come, sooner or later, when the
Goddess of Liberty will have again
placed her foot upon the tyrant's
neck. thus laying low William Hohen-
zollern's scheme to place all nation
alities under his sway.
Conditions are by no means assur-
ing to the Prussian tyrant today. his
armies are deadlocked on two fronts
while starvation and mutterlngs OF
revolution are facing his people at
home. The allies on the western front
are lighting with perfect confidence as
to the ultimate result, while the ltal-
ians, are holding back the foe at ire
mendous cost to the latter.
Abraham Lincoln said the nation
cannot be half free and half slave.
Woodrow Wilson has altered one
word-"the world cannot live half
free and half slave. And while Ger
many dreams Of dominating the world
by force there can be no. peace"
When this terrible war shall have
burned out, and the people of Ger
many shall be found once more cloth
ed and in their right minds, peace
professions throughout the civilized
world may have banners bearing the
Virginia coat Of arms. This sugges-
tive picture will tell the story at a
glance. The words, "Thus may it ever
be to tyrants" will re-echo from the
four corners Of the globe.

THE MILITARY SITUATION

Paris newspaper critics, we are told
in cablegram to the New YorE
World seize upon the Austrian often.
sive to ask why the enemy is always
allowed to take the initiative. They
assert the numerical superiority OF
the Germans is only relative, and one
o. them demands that the military
"iugglers" with figures shall answer
squarely the question how many real
combatants there are on each side.
The Baltimore Sun In this connec-
ton says this would be very un-
reasonable demand, ever if the Ger
mans were farther away; but, with
their armies almost as close to the
French capital as Baltimore is to
Alexandria, it is asking little too
much to expect official army figures to
be published in the Paris papers. The
Germans, in spite Of all their means
Of information and observation, are
probably indulging in good deal of
guesswork as to the numbers con-
fronting them, because it is impossi-
bic Tor them to keep accurate count
of the American reinforcements that
are constantly pouring into France.
The implication in the assertion that
the numerical superiority of the Ger
mans is only relative is that allied
gcneralship is inferior, and suggests a
doubt as to General Foch's leadership.
If General Foch had men enough to
enable him to take the initiative. he
would surely do it. because that is his
conception OF the way in which the
var is to be won. He is getting
stronger every day through the steady
additions to his forces from this coun-
..ry, and in a month or two he IS like
IL 70 be in position to defy any fur
thcr German advance.
Much depends, of course, on what
happens in Italy. So far, according to
the judgment of al our military COM
the Austrian drive p- IN
Uses little. If, however, it should be-
come so serious as TO require us to
send some OF our American troops to
that front, the French situation might
remain predetermined that much
longer,
