THE CASE OF AUSTRIA.

The disintegrating effect of the
Presidents answer tc Germany is
showing itself in the events that are
taking place in Austria-Hungary. 1t
was undoubtedly designed to hasten
the process of collapse there as we'll
as in Germany and we seem to be
getting conclusive evidence of the
powerful influence it has exercised
upon that already panic-stricken and
weakened member Of the Teutonic al
lance.
As the Baltimore sun says, Austria,
it seems clear, cannot stand out much
longer against unconditional surren-
der. Threatened with rebellion in al
most every quarter, with no hope of
aid from her partner in iniquity, the
Austrian Government is forced to con-
slider only it's own salvation. 1t is
questionable whether it is not too
late for it to save anything out of the
wreck. Any hour may bring US news
that it's Emperor is a captive or fugi-
tive and that the dual monarchy has
tumbled into ruins.
At all events, it appears to be as
certain as anything in the future can
be that its only chance Of safety is in
dissolving its association with Ger
many, withdrawing from the war and
awaiting the Allied pleasure. With
Austria eliminated, Turkey will quick
ly fellow s,,it.
History is marching with long and
rapid strides these days. 1t is quickly
narrowing the war down to an issue
with one antagonist. Will AN Aus
trian and Turkish crash bring Ger
many to her knees? 1t may not. She
may fight on as Prussia did under
Frederick the Great But at all
events, we are getting her where we
want her.

DO NOT DESERVE MERCY.

Despite all wild reports, greatly en-
aggerated in many cases, about the
German people being ready to over
throw kaiserism, it must be remem-
bered that neither Germany nor the
German people as yet know anything
of repentance. Rcmorse may fill their
hearts, because they began the war
before, according to the testimony OF
some of their experts, they were quite
ready, and therefore, they are regret
ting that they did not wait Il year
longer, but there is no thought OF re-
pentance nor contrition for. their
crimes, nor readiness to do pcnance,
nor to bear any burden as a penance
for their unSpeakable sins. This
thought is voiced in statement from
the Frankfurter Zeitung, which in
discussing the matter says:
I'VE are not criminals in chains,
who need to do penance in sackcloth
and ashes. We want TO reach an IN
Outstanding ard compensate differen-
ces Guns ausglcicheni as equals
among equals, but we will rather shed
the last drop of our blood than make
g~gceful submission
Just so. Germans still think they
are entitled to every consideration and
they must be regarded as equals or
else they will not treat with US.
They want "to reach an understand
ing, Certainly they do. Every
murderer would like to treat with the
judge and jury and ''reach an under
Standing but the Judge and jury that
dealt on such terms with vile criminals
would be sanity in their justice DIS

A WORD IN SEASON

Four persons who, had recently
been brought to the Westminster
Building in this city died last nlgnt'
number of patients who have been
nlaced in this building during the
mast few weeks, or since the preVa-
lence Of Spanish influenza, have sue
cumbed through no fault Of the nur-
s;no or the instrumentalities used IN
efforts 70 stave off the effects Of the
nlapue. Some, however, have been
led to suppose that the Westminster
Building is as Dante's Inferno-thosse
who enter here leave all hope behind.
This * not so and such a reflection
is an injustice TO the selt-sacrlhcing
nersons in charge of this institution.
Large numbers Of patients have soon
been placed in state OF cohValeS-
renee. Those who have died--certaln-
" the greater number-were virtually
in extremis when carried to the build
inp Some were advanced sufferers
from pneumonia, while others had or
panic troubles. and, after contracting
"au" their cases became helpless.
The persons who are rendering
noble services in the Westminster
Building arc not appreciated as they
should he in this most critical period
Of Alexandrai's history. They are
engaged in labor of love-admlnis-
terinp to the sick and dying-and
their heroism in far-away America is
Sc apparent as that Of members OF
+he Red Cross who are engaged IN
work cover there" equally as noble, al
though shells al times are exploding
about them.
The good people Of Alexandria have
done their duty during the prevalence
of the epidemic They have volun-
tecred their services, and subscribed
literally to fund which is being used
in the interests of those who nave
come among US and who now need our
sympathy and encouragement.

PEOPLE AND RULER.

The Rev. Herbert Whiting Virgin, a
Baptist minister of Virginia, now in
\. NJ. c. \. work in France, in letter
to the Religious Herald of Richmond,
states the case of Germany's barbar-
ism and Of the need Of punishment.
Mr.. Virgin has held important paste
rates at various points in the South
and several years ago took charge ST
the Calvary Church in Roanoke, one
of the most numerous and influential
of our Virginia Baptist churches. He
is a strong and well-equipped minis
ter, Il man of the highest character,
and a trained and careful observer. A
few months ago he gave his pasto
rate in Roanoke to accept religious
work under the Y. NJ. {. 4. in France.
He says:
Il have been in France and Eng
land over four months, and in that
time have seen, not only in France
but also in England, during my stay
here, the horrors of the barbarism of
the German people.
1t is folly to seek to cultivate a
s!ckly scntimentalism about the Ger
man people being-in this wards

masters Of Germany. They are mas

NOCTURNAL THIEVES.

We are averse to causing any one
uneasiness, but as newspapers are sup
posed to be printed in the interests VI
communities which support them, the
Gazette realizes that it is its duty to
tell our people that the time has come
when they should be on the alert, es-
pecially after night shadows fall.
During the present week number OF
robberies and attempts at robbery
have been reported to the station
house. Some robberies have been per-
petrated on King street, the main
business thoroughfare, while lunch
houses and other public places have
been op en- and people moving along
Two burglaries were committed IN the
same house on King street on certain
NIGHTS this week. Goods were removed
and taken to an alley in the rear.
Automobile and auto truck thieves
]; have been especially active. In one
instance nocturnal providers had
fixed their eyes upon truck belong
ing to store on lower King street
and they carried can Of gasoline 70
the place where ii generally stands
at night, but for Scme reason they
were unable to get away with the We,
hicle. An attempt was made TO carry
away an automobile in the same sec
lion of the city OF another night.
Attempts have been made to break
into stores, and at one place on south
Fairfax street the appearance of
man at an upper window who dis
charged H. pistol at the Woud-be
thieves caused them to scamper.
The above are but few of the cases
which are being reported daily.
In this connection it may be just to
state that the police force, which has
been but a small corporal's guard
during the past three months, are
doing all that can be expected OF
them. There are virtually no officers
on duty during the day; Us those re-
naming on the force are compelled,
under present conditions. TO remain
on duty all night Hence there are
many procedures during the day
which would not be tolerated if the
full force were en- duty. Crapshoot-
ing in the public streets has become
an eyesore at various points. while
riding bicycles upon pavements, ro!
lerskating on King street, the use of
toy guns by young people and other
unlawful acts,are practiced without
let or hindrance.
Besides petty misdemeanors. disor-
ders are becoming common. Certain
streets during the early hours OF last
night were avenues for JOY riders who
obtained all the speed possible from
automobiles.

The Outlook in commenting on the
above SAYS God is near. God has not
been driven out of his universe at the
pcint of the Prussian bayonet. You
can't shoot God. You can't track HIM
down with the, swiftest submarine nor
pursue him through the air with a
Zeppelin. You can't throw God over
board supcr-dreadnought and drown
him in a sea of blood. If the moral
law is supreme. the Kaiser will never
occupy the throne of the universe anu
God vii. never forsake US. God is a
spiritual Presence to those who fight
and these who love. John Rother-

GRAIN bOLSTERSUP ON NEW SHIPMENTS Both Corn and Oats Go Up for Fractional Gains.
 Provisions Were Off.

Chicago. February 11.-Prospects of a renewal of eastbound shipments of grain from Chicago strengthened the corn mar ket today after prices had sagged owing to decided enlargement of receipts. The close was firm at a shade to h@i4c nes advance, with March s1.27h@1. 27st and May $i25is. Oats gained 1sc to 3sQ'Ac. Provisions lost 7c to 25c.
 The bearish effect of liberal arrivals here was soon offset. Peace gossip which early in the day had received some at tention, was apparently not factor in the late trading after the general tenor of the Presidents speech became known.
 Oats were governed by the same condi- tions which affected the corn market, Receipts showed a material increase, but demand was good both from elevator in- terests and shippers.
 Big receipts of hogs and falling off in exports weakened provisions.
