About 265 workmen, who were en-
cared to construct the branch rail
road from Accotink to the military
camp at Belvoir, were brought to this
city last night shortly after Sin
o'clock. Owing to the lateness of the
hour it was impossible to secure ac-
commodations for them but every ef-
fort was made to do so. Sleeping
quarters were obtained for as many
as possible in various boarding houses,
while fifty were cared for at the Sal
walton Army headquarters on King
street, seventy-fve were housed n
the Boy Scouts rooms in McBurney
hall and fourteen were quartered at
the Police Station. There are about
five hundred located in the city. They
are employed by the P. F. Gormely
Company, who have the contract to
build the road. Alexandria's housing
possibilities are surely being put to
the test these days, and the end is

Senator Swanson Says Opponent oi
Measure Destroyed the Last Chance
CT Peace.
In lnasterful speech in the Senate
Yesterday, Mr.. Swanson, of Virginia
presented the causes which compelled
America to enter the world war.
Il shall show" he said, "that this
war is being waged to right American
wrongs, to protect great American m
terests, which, if lost, will destroy our
present prosperity and greatness and
ieopardize our very existence as free
and independent people
After reviewing the causes whlch
compelled the United States to throw
her force on the side of the allies, the
Virginia senator declared that there
is "an insidious and reasonable
nropaganda now being conducted IN
this country designed to produce dis
satisfaction and patriotic lethargy IN
order to secure a German-made
peace"
In discussing the armed neutrality
bill Senator Swanson referred to the
senators who filibustered against that
measure in the closing days of the last
Congress- and charged them with be-
ing responsible for destroying the
lost chance Tor peace between the
United States and Germany.
"The defeat of that measure III the
American Congress, said Senator
Swanson. "convinced Germany, that
we did not have tie will and courage
to defend our rights, and that we
would tamely submit to any indignlty
and outrage she might perpetrate
| upon us.
"This small group Of wilful sena-
tcrs were responsible for the creation
of this belief in Germany and deserve
severe condemnation for mlsrepre-
scnting and thwarting at this critical
time the will of the American people.
In making his charges against the
German propaganda Senator Swan
son declared that Engaged in this
reasonable and insidious work Is
motley crew composed of fanatics,
German spies and sympathizcrs, per-
sons corrupted with German gold and
promises. officered by few selfish
politicians who foolishly think they
see an opportunity for self-advance-
ment, although it may result IN wreck
cf country.
"sThis German propaganda corrupt
cd nd obtained control of the former
autocratic government of Russia
which, if it had not been overthrown
would have made an ignominious ano
cowarily peace. 1t has ztrangled the
new, hopeful republic Of Russia, anc
