New York, Nov. 23.-The cotton
market today showed renewed firm
ness during the early trading. Tht
cold wave reported in the Southwest

little in evidence. however, while of

THE GERMAN DRIVE.

The falling back Of the allies be-
fore the onrush of Hun troops is
causing more or less anxiety among
the rank and file of this country. The
gradual approach OF the invaders to
the Marine is occasioning apprehension
as it did lin 1914. At that time the
Germans, were nearer Paris than at
present, so much so that the French
capital was temporarily removed to
Bordeaux. Foch, it will be remem-
bered, turned the tide on that occa-
sion. He may now be holding his re-
serves for a smash of the invaders.
During the second year Of the war
between the states the Confederate
forces reached Munson's Hill, near
Alexandria. and within sight Of the
Capitol. This caused anxiety among
all classes in Washington as well as
throughout the northern section Of
the country. The eventual falling
back of the Confederates afforded
great relief to those watching the
progress Of the wal.

FUEL CRISIS THREATENED

It comes to light, through the fuel
administrator for Virginia, that the
national fuel authorities have SO ap-
portioned the coal production of the
country as to deprive the state Of VIZ
ginia almost entirely of fuel for the
coming year for the use Of her indus
tries and her homes. This is the state
ment of the Richmond Virginlan,
which further says:
"Virginia's supply of bstuminous
coal, by reason of a system of zonlng
established by the linked States fuel
administration, is obtained very large
" from the New River and Pocahon-
tas coal fields. The federal authori-
ties have placed orders against these
outputs to the extent OF 32,5OO,oOo
tons, which is 100000 tons more
than the annual estimated production
Besides this, the authorities have
announced a certain list of %preferen-
tial industries which are to be per
mitted to receive 100 per cent of their
orders for coal, leaving absolutely no
provision for the non-preferential in
dustries and for the warming Of the
homes.
A matter of such serious nature as
this brings the people Of the state
face to face with a veritable crisis.
And should the business be not adj
,justed upon some other basis, where
by the people of Virginia might re-
ceive their equitable share Of the
coal production, there would be
worked a mischief that must neces-
seri!y paralyze the industrial activ'-
ties of the state as we'll as produce
great suffering in the homes upon
the approach of the cold weather"

SPIRIT OF CHRIST VS.. POWERS
OF EVIL.

President Wilson and his wife are
regular attendants of the services OF
the Central Presbyterian church of
Washington. Although Mr. Wilson is
the most hcavily-ladened man in the
world at present, he engages in pub
lie worship on each Lords Day.
A soldier, an A~lexandrian. several
weeks ago entered the Central Pres
bytcrian church and was escorted to
. pew high up i'll the church where
other wearers OF the khaki were seat
ed. At the beginning of the services
he found he was minus a hymn book.
At this time he was gently touched
rnon the hack and turning around
saw himself confronted by President
Wilson who snliiingiy handed him a
book.
Christianity is ar efectual leveler.
The small and great are upon the
same level N the house of worship.
Mr. Wilson realizes this when he be-
comes one+of a band of ~orshippers.

DOMESTIC JARS.

After she had caused the arrest OF
her husband for not working during
the last five weeks and he was fined
s11.45 in the Baltimore Police Court,
Mrs. John Patera took the last cent
she had and paid his fine rather thar
sec him go to Jail.
Patera is 81 years old. He prom
ised the Justice that he would work
in the future.
Many cases similar to the above
are brought before the Alexandria
Police Court. The parties are of both
~colors, mostly negroes, however. The
object of the court g generally to
reconcile the parties, and not pro-
nounce sentence until all other means
fail.
a young colored woman yesterday
afternoon had her husband arraigned
upon the charge Of no%n-support. Il
was shown that he had regular m
pioyment in Philadelphia. Both par
ties were obdusate and the defendant
was ordered to pay his wife about one
third Of his earnings. Being en-
ployed in another state, it was neces-
sary for the nan to give bond for the
faithful performance of the mandate.
This he was unable to do and he was
ordered to be held. Later the wife
visited the station house for the pur-
rose of interviewing her husband,
when the couple soon became recon-
cl,cd. When the attention OF the Off
ccrs was called to them they were
drirKirg pop from the same bottle.
The M asked to be allowed to
withdraw the charge. which request
was granted by the police justice, and
the couple left together in the best
Of hum.or.
+. Many cases similar to the above
Of w1,;e and colored couples could be
produced.

BIBLE CONFERENCE

That the Lords second coming
would be the, outcome of the present
world crisis, though at a date not t
be reckoned by years, was the thought
running through all the addresses
this week at the final sessions of the
three days Bible Conference in the
Academy Of Music in Philadelphia.
One evening the throng was SO
great that two overflow meetings
were held in the Witherspoon building.
The following was adopted as the
official statement of belief:
First-Wa believe that the Bible is
the inerrant, one and final Word OF
God, and therefore is u only author
ity. =
Second-We believe in the deity OF
our Lord Jesus Christ: that He is very
God, and in His substitutionary death,
as an atonement for Sin; in His bodily
resurrection and ascension, and the
certainty of His second appearance
"without sin unto salvation"
Third-We believe that u Lords
prophetic Word is at this moment find
ing remarkable fulfllment, and that
it does indicate the nearness Of the
close of this age, and of the coming
of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Fourth-We believe that the COM
pleted church will be translated to be
forever with the Lord. :,
Fifth-We believe that there viii
be a gathering of Israel to her land in
unbelief. and she will be afterward
converted by the appearance of Christ
on her behalf.
Sixth-We believe that all human
schemes of reconstruction must be
subsidiary to the coming of u Lord
Jesus Christ, because all nations will
be subject to His rule.
Seventh-We believe that under the
reign of Christ there will be a"further
great effusion OF tbs Heiy Spirit apon
all flesh.
Eighth-We believe that the truths
embodied in this statement are OF the
Utmost Importance in determining
Christian character and action in ref,
erence to the pressing problems of the
hour.
And, resolves, if our Lord larry
that a great Bible conference will be
held at Philadelphia, May 81 to June
], 1919.
Prophetic conferences have been
held at times in this country during
the past forty years. There was a
large gathering of earnest Bible stu
dents in New York in 1873, which was
attended by representative persons of
that city. Another conference was
held in Chicago in 1886, which was
more :lurgety attended than that in
New York. On both occasions deduc-
tions similar to those given above
were proclaimed.

he produced a pleasant surprise.
Among other things he said:
'This.isa war of the spirit OF Christ
against the powers Of evil today ~
nations of the world r at war tor
the redemption Of mankind. Every
effort, every sacrifice we make, is IN
the highest service of God-he has
chosen the work for the world. After
the war, there will be a renaissance
of His spirit; the nations of the world
and the churches Of the world will
be bound together, as never before
in the history of man."
The Rev. DR.. John Lee Allison, pas
tor of the Second Presbyterian church
OF Alexandria, attended the exercises
and receptions.

soldiers were anxious to turn against
The invaders, and grew FESTIVE at the
daily orders CT tf9r chief. Jofe fin
ally drew the Germans to a point %
his own choosing, and the battle Of
the Marine .co'Iowed. Foch at ;las
time was subordinate to Joffe, but the
part he played in that battle, SO dis
astrous to the Germans, is well known.
What he did then he may repeat IN
1915.

OF ASTARTE.

Wherever God erccts a house of prayer,
The devil always builds a chapel there.
And twill be found upon examination,
The latter has the largest congregation.
The petition of many good people
of Alexandria sent to the City Coun-
ell last Tuesday night asking the city
fathers to enact measures to safe
guard the youth of our city has been
referred by the Board of Aldermen
to the committee on general laws. A.
the next meeting Of the Common
Council the action of the upper board
will doubtless be concurred in. How
long the petition will be allowed to
sleep in committee is not known, but
most people Of the community earn
cstly hope that it will be placed upon
the preferred calendar and acted up
On as soon as possible.
Our city is now full Of strangers. 1t
cannot be assumed that all are walk
ing in the strait and narrow path, and
SO long as young girls and others Of
more mature years throng the streets
in the night time there is more or
less anxiety.
The Council of General Defense Of
the State is exerting all its powers
70 conserve the good name\of each
community in the Commonwealth, and
that their efforts are opportune must
be apparent to all.
The main purpose Of this organize
ton is to keep soldiers away from
questionable women and resorts, as
it is well-known that no matter how
many buildings may be set apart by
churches for the entertainment of SOL
diers other temples will become equal
'ly as numerous.
The authorities of this city have
during the past few months sent sew
eral women to Jail or the w~orkhouss
for periods of ninety days for con-
Quoting disorderly houses, and two
weli-known young women Of this city
who are often seen on the streets al
night were before both the United
States and state authorities this week
on the charge Of entertaining sol
diers. They were fined $50 each by
the Police Court last night. One Of
the accused was unable to pay the
fine, but the other evidently by the
aid Of friends, met the assessment,
and a few minutes later was parad-
ing the streets according to her won't.
Of course, should she be arrested up
on the chrome charge a much heavier
penalty can be exacted.
But to return to young girls who,
as yet, have made no reputation in
the community. In this connection it
may be stated that recently a woman
who had her attention directed to the
fact that her daughter was p~arading
the streets at unseemly hours ut
night, acted deiantly and as though
she regarded it as an affront to have
the liberties of her offspring inter
fered with.
Parents should realize that they in-
cur a terrible responsibility in these
troublous times should they fail to
keep a strict eye upon the young Of
both sexes.

Editor Gazette:

Complaints are numerous through
out the city Of the lateness Of the
hours the small children keep, and
the noises they make. Any parent
who cares to undermine the constitu-
ton of their child by allowing it to
stay up late nights can do so, Of
course. There are no laws, appar-
entity, to prevent, but there should be
laws and they should be enforced to
correct the annoyance to others by
allowing children, and even grown
men and women, to make night hide
Gus for the peacefully inclined by con-
gregating on street corners and
around street lights, playing and talk
ing in a loud voice until most unseem-
ly hours of the night.
A number Of the workmcn in the
city have to report for duty at a
very early hour, and need their good
nights rest to be fitted for the days
and in some sections of the city
it is almost an impossibility to get
an unbroken nights rest for the
noises in the street. The necessary
noises occasioned by working condi-
tions have to be overlooked, but is
there no way for the authorities to
prevent the unnecessary noises for
the protection Of the working man
and woman?
