DRAFTLAM IS UPHELD

The decision, unanimous one made yesterday by the United States Supreme Court upholdng the selectiye draft law should sink into hundreds of thousands of per sons in this nation The draft is law and it has gone to the highest court andhas been sustained Sackers and the fant-hearted who have been making their living in this country for years masSing fortune perhaps should have left when it looked if the United States would be involved in the present war They are here however and should now be required to fight not placed in as but put in the front ranks where they will be shot

A. RECORD, TO BE PROUD OF

The annual report of the United
Hebrew Charities Of Washington con-
tains one item of amazing interest.
During the entire year there was
not one Jewish prisoner admitted TO
the district workhouse.
This is Il remarkable record. L Is
a splendid evidence of the industry,
sobriety, and law-abiding characters
tics of the Capitals Jewish population.
It tells story perhaps unmatched
in any similar. aggregation OF any
race in any city in this country. 1t
may well serve as an example to the
Jews of every other community IN
America.
The rest of the report is interest
ing. 1t shows a marked decrease III

outstanding fact i: the record thai

THE HAPPY MORNING

There's a happy morning coming, AND
the children know the hour.
A happy morning coming, with It's
childhood glee in flower.
A happy morning coming
Over valley, over hill,
When the Christmas bells are peal
ing
And the troubling is still.
There's happy morning coming
when in love and joy and glee
We shall gather with the children at
the little Christmas. tree.
; 4 happy morning coming,
With its sweetness and it l-g'h.,
And the eyes of loved ones dancing
Like the wintry stars OF night.
There's happy morning coming, and
we'll all turn back again
To the childhood of life's be9hty from
the rugged years of men.
i happy morning coming
When the angels will come By
In the hearts of little children
Singing praises to the sky.
Christmas of 1918 is one week eff
tomorrow. The hustle incident to
this greatest of all days in>thc calen-
dar is in evidence, as preparations
for the event are being made.
There was an impression among
many about this ti,ae last year that
Christmas bells would ring IN peace.
Eut the wordswas doomed to d:sap-
psintmert. White millions in 1917
were celebrating the advent CT the
Prince Of Peace, wa1. lords were. pre-
pairing for drive which they dream
ed would force German peace upon
the world. While the chimes were
being sounded and myriads were in
Christian churches the temple Of
Janus remained open.
But-We are living under mere
blessed conditions this Christmas
season. The war is now a thing of
the past. The battle, of t.rmageddon
has been fought and right has tri-
umphed over night.
One week from tonight that wei,
come elf. Santa Claus, will be whist

the Fatherland is going to pieces,
n,orali. speaking, they seem TO be-
lieve that the same fate his ovet-

Germany as the repository OF all

proved unavailing.
So grave has the. situation become
that the Federal authorities have sig
nitied their intention of adopting
drastic methods, which will remedy
it if the local authorities fail to get
it under control Furnishing liquor

Observations concerning Baltimore
are equally applicable to Alexandria.
There are always many soldiers in
our city and numbers of others within
the five-mile limit. There is every
reason to believe that liuuor-sel!ing
is on the increase in Alexandria. In
toxieants are being brought here from
Baltimore and Washington daily. and
those desiring wet goods have. no
trouble in procuring the same. Empty
bottles and TASKS are seen on streets.
in alleys and other places. and the
charge OF drunkenness often appears
on the bletter OF the POLICE Court.

THE CITY OF THE HAPsBURGs

Macaulay in one of his flights of
suggests that the time
may come when a New Zealander will
be seen sitting upon a span of Lon
don Bridge viewing the ruins Of st.
Paul. While the capital of the Eng
lish metropolis is intact, and long
may it continue to be, the aftermath
of the late war may bring about the
gradual decline of other cities which
have long existed in their cruelty
and arrogance.
The Richmond Nirginian directs
attention to Vienna, the city OF the
Hapsburgs, which is being sorely hit
at present. Its, future is. gloomy, as
conditions which heretofore made it
a great metropolis no longer exist.
AS the Virginian says, Vienna is
a spectral city" 1t still contains
mere than 100000 people, but it has
no, gayety,. no business, no govern.
mental activity, haGdlN sign of the
bright and varied life that thrilled
+baro five wears Dua
The city is in state of siege, not
from, hostile armies. but FROM merci-
less. economic and political condi-
tions. Food. is tuagiGallN scarce, asl.i
sells at ruinous prices. Gas and cleo
trio light are rationed parsimoniously.
Theaters and hospitals are closed for
lack of fuel. There is little street car
service. Trains may soon stop and
factories close.
Vienna drew her former prosperity
from all Austria Hungary She owed
it to her position as the dominating
center of the dual monarchy. She
levied tribute, in wealth and pres
tige andtpopulation, on all the provi-
ces and races under her rule. Now
all have forsaken her. "
1t is an impressive and appropriate
penalty For centuries Vienna ruled
many nations through craft and
guile. 1t was from Vienna that this
great war~was launched. The men re-
sponsible for it anticipated great
glcry for their city. With Berlin.
Vienna was to rule Europe, perhaps
the world Now her glory is depart
ed. There is "none so poor to do her
reverence"
1t reminds. one of old Biblical iudg-,
ments on wicked cities. It recalls
Egypt and Babylon and Ninevah, and
the Rome of the Middle Ages. 1t is
reminder CT the Eternal Justice
that works through history.

In gratitude for careful nursing,
which saved his life in 4 Paris hos
apital, Salvatore Fillippi, of Erie, Pa,
an American soldier, has executed Il

American Red Cross.
In a statement addressed to the
Red Cross, Filippo, who is reputed
to be moderately wealthy" Said
that, if he left his money to the
American Red Cross, he knew it
would be used to help these who, need
It most.
The above is bat one instance
which could be cited of the appBecla-

reespsly served in the army returned

while the war is virtually over, the
work Of the Red Crcss is by no

their convalescence Is dependent
upon the treatment they Will receive

The people CT the United States
have not been called upon TO make
sacrifices similar to those Of our. al

have enjoyed our abundance, and
there should be an enthusiastic par
pose to contribute Of our abundance
toward work, long since recognized
as among the most useful in our

Fhe sun had set, and in the dusky
sky
The twinkling lights of Liege be-
gan to. play;
The watci,tlogs first the sharp alarm
did cry:
Back, Back! Ye shall not pass this
way"
Earth groaned with men and arms of
Allemand,
Loud beat the hoofs and shrill the
horses neigh;
In vain thay sought to. rush through
neutral land;
"Regone.. Ee shall not pass this
way"
No, laundering guns, ne soft speech
can seduce
The modern David to Goliath dotls
say:
Not all, thy strength these steel walls
will reduce;
Nay! Nay. Ye shall net pass this
way
In olden times Horatius, famed of
Rome,
Checked at the bridge the foe who
swanmed that day;
Thus, gallant Liege says battling
alone,
"Hztls. Ealt. We shall not pass this.
way"
As stands the angel at the gates Of
Heaven
With flaming sword to bar the SIN
ners' way;
So stands brave Liege. while foes ar"
backward driven.
Nay. Say!' fe shall not pass this
way"
And: when the grandsire's lips this tale
shall yield
Unto the wondering youth Of later
day,
These words shall blazoH bright c.
Belgium's shield:
Back! Back. fe shall not pass this
way"
The above poem was written by Mr..
