CHANGED CONDITIONS.

Alexandria is redivivus! The close
G the past summer and the advent
cR the fall had brought about no
material change in conditions OF our
old city. We had seen the hopes ior
the establishment Of the armor plant
ait Alexandria pass away as dream
in the night. with nothing in sight
to bring about a revival Of CONNER
cial activity in our midst. Other Wy
GINA cities were expanding and grow
ing rich, while Alexandria, situated
upon the Potomac. within sight OF
the national capitol, with railroads
from all sections of the country con-
ycrging at our doors, was not keep
ing up with the procession.
But all this has suddenly changed.
There is now work for every man:
woman and child in our midst, and
the great bulk of our people have
cya;lcd themselves CT the changed
conditions. The early morning trains
for Washington transport hundreds
Of young and old, and the streets ovei
which the trains pass are filled With
people on their way to their respec-
tive places Of employment IN Che
r;tpital city.
But the influx into our city daily
is the spectacle which attracts the
greatest attention. Hundreds OF men
from all sections Of the country, land

THE LEAGUE OF BRITISH
JEWS IN ACCORD WITH
THE AMERICAN JEWISH
COMMITTEE ON PAL
ESTINE.

According to a letter just re-
ceived from its President, Major
Lionel de Rothschild, the League of
British Jews is in accord with the
views of the American Jewish
Committee on the subject of the
re-settlement of Palestine by Jews.
1t will be recalled that at spe-
cia1 meeting on April 18th last, the
American Jewish Committee de-
fined it's attitude toward the Balfour
declaration in a resolution in which
the Committee declared that it
would welcome the opportunity to
aid in the realization of the British
Declaration by cooperating with
Those who, attracted by religious
or historic associations, shall seek
to establish in Palestine center for
Judaism" Shortly thereafter, the
Committee received a communica-
ton from the League of British
Jews, through it's president, Major
Lionel de Rothschild The latter,
while expressing the Leagues agree
ment with the Committees state
ment and it's readiness to cooper
ate in giving effect to it, desired to
have certain passages in it eluci-
dated.
After further correspondence, the
following letter from Major de
Rothschi1d, dated October 22nd and
addressed to Mr.. Louis Marshall,
the president of the American Jew
ish Committee, has been received:
1--WE have just held the first meet
ing of our Council since we had the
pleasure of receiving your full and
courteous reply dated 18th July to
Our letter dated 10Th June.
"Now that the position has been
made clear, and the exact nature
of the inconsiderab1e differences be-
tween us has been formulated, [
am empowered to assure you, in the
terms of Our cable, of our readiness
to cooperate with you
1--WE are rejoiced to find ourselves
in such general agreement that we
can associate ourselves with you in
your programme for the solution of
the Palestine question"

LAMBASTiNG THE HUN CON-
TINUES ALONG LYS RIVER

LONDON, October 21-germans
are hurled back all along the Lys
river. official reports today say.
The germans are attempting to
make stand on the Lys line, but are
being Overwhelmingly defeated as the
allies slowly advance forward. The
next contact of any consequence will
be along the Escaud river. and it is
possible that this line will not be the
scene of any great resistance. owing
to the continued retreat along all
lines.
The enemy has been forced to with.
draw along the whole Belgian front.
The allies have reached the Aeltre
road which is the center of the west
ern of Belgium. They also entered
severeal villages on the line touching
the Holland frontier. Beyond Lille
in the Vallenciennes sector the British
broke the germans attempted advance
which resulted in the allies crossing
from the France border to Belgium
SOIL and have succeeded in reaching
the outskirts of Pecq and approa ching
close to Stamand. The allies are also
nearing Scheldt line near Tournai.
In the LeCateau sector the British
took over 5000 prisoners yesterday.
Vast turning movement on the part
of the germans with centering move
ment close to Metz as the gate to the
pivot The hun RETREAT is more rapid
in proportion to distance than from
this hinge. Thus the huns are fight
ing like madmen before Metz. where
as they only offer slight resistance
in the Flanders sector. Fourth and
Sixth german armies in western Hol-
land face alternatives of scrambling
into Holland or surrendering to the
Belgians or fleeing southeastward to-
ward Liege. If the german Escaut line
breaks they can hardly make stand
until they. are behind the Meuse river.

His boyhood days were spent on the
farm. His common school education
was obtained from the county school
Nof his district. At the age of nine
teen, against the wish of the entire
family, he took sack of potatoes,
(too small to be called spuds) ham
of meat and such other eatables as
the family larder contained, in ad-
dition to $13 in cash and journeyed to
to jefferson, Pa. where Monongahela

PARLIAMENTARY SklRMISH
WINS FOR THE NIOR>

Students Of the High School Junior
class executed brilliant coup de etat
at hot political assembly held II
the High School assembly yesterday
afternoon.
The Juniors cleared over S100 from
their class play, and desired, as for
merly stated, to donate 75 per cent
Of the money to the y. NJ. c. a. wal
fund. This fas perfectly satisfactory
to the other classes, but there was
some objection to the desire of the
Juniors to appropriate the remaining
% per cent for their own private use.
The money belongs rightfully to the
Student Body, and is usually voted
to the Junior class for expenses Of
publishing the High School annual.
This year the Junior class refused
| to take chance of running behind
in their publication of LA Solana," as
| they considered themselves incapable
of putting out a book this year as
good as that gotten out by last years
class. Therefore they decided that
the money would come in very harry
for their parties and other social af-
fairs.
The Seniors, leading the fight for
leaving the money in the Student
Body treasury for use either in ath-
letics or for stage fixtures, refused
to be turned aside by alluring offers
made by the Junior class. Certain
members Of the Senior class refused
to support their class. Also a lit
tie hairclipping initiation of Fresh
men, carried out principally by Sc
nlor boys yesterday morning, result
ed in swinging a majority of the
FRESHMAN vote over to the Juniors.
Even with this advantage, the Juniors
would have lost their % per cent
appropriation but for a little par
Elementary diplomacy.
They united the motion Of appro-
Ipriation to the Y NJ c. A. war fund
with the motion Of appropriation for
their own private use. The Y. NJ. c.
A. appropriation carried along with
it the supplementary class appropri-
alton, although by a narrow margin.

LETTERS TO THE PRESS

(The following letter was sent by
a subscriber as a profess against the
action of Southern California dairy
men and stockmen demurring against
the recent order of the Food Admin
istration against the killing of calves
and lambs.)
Fl Centre, Cal, Jan. ,, 191S.-Edi-
tor of The Press-Dear Sir: The en-
closed clipping shows that some peo-
pie are mighty selfish and have a
lame excuse for not killing calves or
lambs. No farmer or rancher need
go out of business on account Of the
ruling, if passed, and what the Food
Administration is doing is for the
whole country, not a small area like
we have here. Calves and lambs can
be sold to people who can feed them,
just as the man who sells hogs for
feeders. Because a hog raiser can't
afford to keep all the pigs he raises
it is no sign he must OF does go Out
Of business. The same condition eX-

as with the hog men, so lets be rca-
