NOW IT is OUR TURN

A German. in back room some
where, '!rew up a program OF he
war as it was to be.
France was to be sent SPRAYING
with one blow of the fat fist.
Then clumsy Russia was to, be sub
.dued.
After that, naughty England, and
then, bumptious America.
a German picked out the pretext
for the war.
A German whispered to Austria
the words .wsrich made conflict inex-
liable. =
A German ordered the invasion Of
Belgium.
a German sighted the torpedo at the
"Lusitania."
The Germans claimed all of the
early privileges in the present con-
trCversy.
Now we (that is, the Allies, in all
humbleness, calling attention to the
fect that we wee somewhat ignored
at the beginning of the performance,
claim just ore right, or privilege or
inning. Q: whatever YOU choose to call
it.
To even accounts and balance the
books, the Allies should be permitted
to name the date on which the war is
to end.
Be fair, Germany. and grant US this
one small favor; you, who have rev.
eIed in the initiative.
And for goodness sake, don't hurry
us!
Don't be offering suggestions as to
peace terms.
Can't you see that we are busy?
With our hands on our heart, we as
sure YOU that. in due time and proper
season, the last shot will be fired and
the long peace will be inaugurated.
We are Just as anxious for it as you
are.
Be reasonable
The war will terminate just as
soon as you are licked to fragile.

NIGHT COURTS
more.

A dispatch from Norfolk says an
innovation in court circles, throwing
an interesting sidelleht Gal the growth
of that city, is the night police court
which Police Justice ". l.. Stephens
is going to institute on Saturday
nights, opening at 8 o'clock and run
ming until midnight. This Saturday
night court will serve two purposes,
the first being that it will in some
measure clear the dockets of Mon
day morning. The second purpose
will be to send all prisoners convict
ed to jail Saturday night instead of
holding them in the cells at the variz- ;.
Gus police stations until Monday
morning.
Night sessions of the Police Court
of Alexandria have been held. during
the past. twenty years or more. In
fact the court is in continuous SEES
sion, cases being disposed of as fast
as they reach the docket, whether
during the day Or night The authori-
ties of Alexandria long ago saw the
wisdom of this, as the immediate dis
position of cases keeps the docket
clear. Besides it is convenience 70
many who often from no fault of
their own are summoned before the
tribunal as witnesses. This class as
well as the parties to the contentious
arc generally workmen. some of whom
are employed out Of the city, and to
compel them to appear at 8 o'clock
in the morning causes them to lose
half a day, some the entire day. Hence
it has long been deemed proper to
hold a session of the court at seven or
half past seven in the morning If
necessary.
Gases wnicn arise during the day
are generally disposed of immediately.

HALLOWEEN OF 1918.

Tonight will be Halloween. one of
the most joyous seasons of the calen-
dar. During recent years the occasion
has been one of rejoicing in Alexan-
dria, there having been general turn
outs on the part of the young. Hal
lowe'cn has savored somewhat of i
Mardi GraS in our city, the streets
being alive with young and old. The
makeup on such occasions have been
varied, mirth prevailing, and every
one in a good humour.
So far az we have observed. how
ever. the spirit of the festival will
not be so much in evidence this year
as it has on previous occasions, the
war having cast its lurid rays upon
Halloween.
We do not purpose to give a history
of the custom rs has been our wont,
but we desire to call attention to one
feature in reference to the OCCASION
that of lighting bonfres by each
household at nightfall
This custom never was observed to
any extent i'll America. but in the
year 1918 the United States has car
ried the sacred fire of Liberty to all

THE KAISER MUST CO

Germany's autocracy is dying hard.
1t is. fighting with all its remaining
resources to save itself from the
wreck of the empire. With its arm
les defeated, its navy baffled and It's
Allies gone, it is facing dictated
peace, peace that must be condi-
toned upon unequivocal surrender,
but in surrendering this autocracy
still clings to the hope that it can
survive.
And moved by that hope, it is doing
more than sheathing its sword on the
battle field: 1t is doing more than
giving up its dream of world domln-
ion and more than making concessions
to the radicals at home. 1t is actually
humblng itself before the world II
is begging for an opportunity to live
1t is pleading for mercy at the hands
of its enemies, trying desperately to
show them how it has become re-
formed and regenerated.
To that end it has dispatched an
other note to the United States. 1t
has not waited for a reply to its ear
lier application for peace. Instead 1t
has supplemented that appeal with
further evidence that it has now
purged itself Of its sins; that it has
abdicated most Of its power: that it
has called on the people OF the EN-
pire and unburdened all national re-
sponsibilities upon them, and that 1t
now stands forth with clean hands
asking its enemies. to relent toward
it.
The people of Germany should tn
derstand, that when the President
served notice upon the dynasty and
war lords to clear out, he meant bus
mess. He did not mean that futile
concessions to the ReichstGg or an eX-
tension of suffrage to few more
German people would atone for the
crimes Of the past four years He
meant the guilt is personal and that
the Kaiser cannot be given immunity
in the peaceN (Which he Was willing
to consent.
And it not unlikely that when the
Versailles Council presents its peace
and armistice terms to Germany it
will demand the abdicaiion Of the
Kaiser in so many words. The Pres
ident has said as much in two COM
munications addressed to Berlin.
If the German nation would only
open both eyes at the same time and
stop looking crosswise at conditions
it would see in five minutes that the
abdication of Wilhelm II and his FAM
lily would further peace in il fashion
that nothing else could do. If that alb
dicaticn should come tomorrow the
war would almost come to end the day
after tomorrow. If this incarnation
Of imperialism and militarism and
ruthlesSness were exiled, the German
people could make a peace with their
enemies almost over night. Every
official Of every Allied government
knows this to be true and t IS not
unlikely that every German official
suspects it 20 be true. But the whole
tro-ble is that the officials Of Ger
n,any who are doing the peace talking
arc aceomplices of the Kaiser. They
hr-w that if he goes they too viii 60
and they are sticking to him b>:ause
i. is their only chance 10 save them
selves.
