AN HONEST WOMAN.

Mrs. Sarah E. Ashby, of Fredericks-
burg, is a striking example of the
honest person, a credit to the women
who suffered so much during the civil
war and who endured all the hard
ships without a murmur. Several
years after the war she found herself
possessed of securities issued by the
fallen government, being told that
taxes were required to be paid there
on.
She did not know any better, so the
tax man came around she listed the
bonds for taxes. For fourteen years
she took from her income enough to
pay the taxes. She did not know that
under the laws the bonds were
without value. To her they had repre-
scented the cause for which those dear
est to her had given their all.
In the fourteen years she gave the
state of Virginia S154.50 in taxes, and
when she found that the money had
been paid under a mistake she made
application to the court for relief, but
the time limit for making recovery
by court procedure had elapsed.
Friends then took up the matter and
it was presented to the legislature,
that body giving her the relief that
the courts were perfectly willing to
give, except save for the statute Of
limitation. The state readily admit
ted its liability. The money has now
been paid and the state is none the
worse off.

GERMANY AND HOLLAND.

Germany's renewed truculence to-
ward Holland may have the object of
forcing Holland into the war on he"
side, or may have the object of max
ing war on Holland. As the New York
Times says, the probabilities favor the
second theory. Holland might be of
use is furnishing Germany with sew
eral hundred thousand unwilling and
Disguised troops who would have to be
watched, but she would be of mouse as
territory from which to plan strategic
operations. On the other hand, in Ger
,nany'S present frame of mind there
would be a clear gain to be derived
from making war upon her.
Germany's demands are provocative
i'll the extreme; they threaten the ruin
of Holland. Not only must Holland
permit the shipment across her terri
tory for German use of ordinary COM
moditieS. but it is demanded that war
material for Germany shall have the
right of transit over Dutch railroads
and canals. In short, Germany in
sists that Holland shall become Ger
man province. BY complying with
these demands she would be guilty Of
unneutral conduct, would abandon her
neutrality. She is called upon, as a
neutral nation, to resist by every
means in her power the enforcement
upon her OF Germany's will. A mere
perfunctory opposition will not suffice;
she must fight for her rights, or the
allies will be warranted in viewing her
attitude with suspicion.
Hollands position is most dangerous
and difficult. She may be forced to
take up arms against any attempt to
enforce Germany's demands. That
would expose her to/conquest and sub
jueaticn, for the time being. In view
Of the certainty of her deliverance
when Germany is overthrown, that
would be disaster less serious than
the fate that would be hers should she
be persuaded or by any means induced

vast and rich Dutch colonies would be-
come prizes OF the powers that control

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.

lyon Hindenburg's renewed pressure
on the front between Ypres and Haze
brouck after the recent heavy German
is still another indication OF
the growing realization in Germany
that the present situation in the west
is not exerting its expected influence
upon the ending Of the war. By the
costly capture of Mont KENNEL, the
Germans have added difficulties to the
British defense of the Ypres salient,
but have not placed in great peril the
British forces defending that area.
Haig's line continues intact. 1t IS
in perfect position for another mod
crate retirement, if it becomes neces-
sary to exchange still little more
ground for further slaughter of Ger
man man power. The key to the en-
lire west front situation at the mo-
merit is the impossibility for Won Hin
Gel burg to stop his efforts without
confessing the ruin of his great plan
TO end the war before Americas mill
tarv strength can be brought to bear.
There is every reason for confidence
in General Foch,s ability to prevent
this by compelling the uninterrupted
pavment of German casualties on a
continuously high scale.
Won Hindenburg has not yet reached
his Moscow, but the basis of the strate
ey that overthrow Napoleon in Russia
is now being used by General Focn
under modern conditions. Won Hin
denburgs progress in the west will
eventually exhaust him through the
too costly expenditure of human lives,
Just as Napoleon progressed, but lost
his man power in Russia. Won linden
burg, however, will not abandon his
quest yet. J He has become the victim
Of his own ruthless machine. He can
not guide it. He can only feed the
machine with human lives and trust
blindly to fate, which is moving
against him.

GIANT U-BOA1.
Super Submarines Reported Built by
Germans to Attack Z. S. Shipping.

Washington, April 29.-Germany
has completed the construction Of six
uper-submar.ncs CT 1.500 TO 1900
tons capacity, with cruising radius
OF 10000 miles, and six more are be-
ing. rushed toward completion, &C
cording to information received here
through Official channels.
1t is surmiscd they are for use in
the Atlantic trade routes most dis
tant from German home bases, as
smaller craft are more advantageous
~ employed in European waters. The
Pacific and Indian oceans are consid-
cred too remote, and, therefore, it is
assumed that German plans to dis
patch the largest underwater craft to
American waters, or to use them in
attacks in the mid-Atlantic.
Germany has designed the newer
submarines, it was said, to be SUI
perior to destroyers. 1t is believed
the allied and1 American navies have
taken measures to anticipate to adj
vent of the giant U-boats. It was
stated that the allied admiralties have
known for more than three months OF
the construction of these super-sub-
marines, which, it is believed, follow
on general lines the great commercial
U-boats which were dispatched across
the Atlantic before the United States
entered the war and which, it was
said, were constructed by private Ger
man interests.

But for the first time allied diplomats
here are admitting the the German
concept of power is facing clear-cur
test at home. The Teuton peoples
have been brought to weigh the worth
OF all they have sacrificed by three
things, in the opinion of shrewd OBJ
servers here. These three are:
l. The admitted failure Of their
masters to make good their promises
of food from Russia and Ukrainia.
2. Failure of Teuton diplomacy to
consolidate the Balkan conquest.
3.~Similar failure OF Germany to
bring order out Of chaos in Russia.
The effect of these three failures has
likewise been threefold. It has pro-
duced political volcano In Austria;
it as brought open demand in Berlin
for the removal of Foreign Minister
Kuehlmann en- the one hand and a
return to the no -annexation-and-no-
indemnity Rcichstag peace resolution;
and, observers believe, it has prompt
cd the Teuton war lords to stake all
for victory on the battlefield IN the
West, and in the restoration of the
Car in the East before the interna!
storm breaks.
President Wilson has frankly, open
ly and public stated his Willingness
to talk peace with the German people
In the same manner Clemenceau has
published to the world the periidles OF
the German Ambassador at Paris
when war was declared and the letter
of Emperor Carl admitting the claims
of France to Alsace-Lorraine.
These plain statements OF facts
have never reached the German army

.oDDFELLows' ANNIVERSARY

p Odd Fellowship reached its ninety
ninth anniversary last Saturday. The
event was duly celebrated last night
in the Second Presbyterian Church OF
this city, where the members gath
cred to listen to an address from Rev.
DR.. John Lee" Allison, one Of the Noble
Grands. The choir rendered special
music on the occasion. The members
of Potomac and Sarepto Lodges ac-
companied by Canton Alexandria, the
latter in uniform, marched from Po-
tomac Lodge rooms shortly before 8
o'clock and entered the church in a
body. They presented fine appear
ance. DR.. Allison took for his text
the words in Philippians, 2-v.: Let this
mind be in you which was in Christ
Jesus" The text was appropriate and
the sermon was listened to with close
attention.
It would be difficult to say anything
new in regard to the history of Odd
Fellowship in Alexandria. As has
aften been observed upon the ami
versaries Of the organization of our
local lodges, the rosters for many
wears have embraced the names OF
some Of our foremost and most rep
resentatives citizens, as they do to-
day. Like other stable Alexandria
institutions they have followed the
fortunes of our old city, and in the
twentieth century have, as the eagle,
renewed their youth. Many members
at this day are the grandchildren Of
the founders of these lodges. They
are inspired as were their ancestors
with a love for the order which has SO
long brought. jaY.aud, gladness to the
sorrowirg.
We are told in holy writ that "Pure
religion and undefiled before God and
the father is this: To visit the father
less and widows in their affliction,
and to keep himself unspotted from
the world" This is one of the most
brilliant stars in the constellation of
Oddfellowship.

ITALIAN FRONT.
Military Observers Believe foch
Plans Draw or the West Front.

washington, April 29.--Reports of
American military observers IN
France incline army straget'sts to the
belief that General Foch will net at
tempt a decision on the Western front
this year. The opinion is growing
that the French general staff will urge
that the allied counter offensive must
be made on the Italian '.rcnt. in con-
nection with Balkan campaign. II
Americas shpbuilding program is
successful it is held that American
forces may be sent to Italy or other
eastern ports next fall.
Although the Prussian leaders have
increased their forces on the Western
front by at least 100000 men and
have enjoyed the advantages Of the
best railroad transportation system
ever constructed behind an army, they
have failed TO achieve half the pro
gram they launched. IL five weeks
fighting they have taken few defenses
Of Importance. There is left to them
only about eight weeks o. good fight
ing weather. With the return Of cool
weather in the fall the allied forces
will be strengthened by great
American army and the Germans can
not hope TO return to the assault.
The tremendous effort of the Ger
man leaders has led many military au-
thorities here to revise their estimates
of the mar power and artillery
strength necessary to the SIDE which
would secure a definite and victorious
decision on the Western front.
