RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT

At meeting of the bar of the city
of Alexandria, held October 9, 1913,
in respect to the memory of George
Washington Lewis, deceased, James
r. Cation, Gardner L. Boothe and
Richard Washington, were appointed
a committee to prepare a memorial
to the memory Of the deceased, who
presented the following preamble and
resolutions, which ,were unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, the bar Of the city of
Alexandria, has learned with feelings
of sincere sorrow of the death of
George Washington Lewis, of Brad
dock, Virginia, who has been associa-
ted with it professionally and person
ally for number of years, and de-
sires to express its appreciation Of
his character and worth, as we'll, as its
affection for him both as man and a
lawyer.
Now, therefore, resolved, that by
the death of George Washington
Lewis, we are deprived of genial,
sincere and loved friend, who won our
affections and regard by his sterling
worth, manly traits, strict integrity,
high ideals and fidelity to every trust;
49,. - Il 49, -.
and who MT only commanded and
gained the confidence Of the members
If the bar, but also, the confidence and
high esteem OF the community in
which he lived. He was an Industrious
psins-taking, jealous and able law
yer. His professional conduct was eth
ical in the highest degree, and he
spurned everything that did not meet
the approval Of his conscience and ac-
cord with the uprightness; of law
yer. His sudden passing away is a
great loss to, land personal afflction
to all who had the opportunity and
the pleasure to know him, as man, a
lawyer, and a Christian: gentlemen.
The community in which he lived has
lost;onesof its most progressive, faith
full and public spirited citizen.
Resolved, that a copy Of these .reso-
lutions be mailed by the secretary of
this meeting to the family of the de-
ceased and that a copy, thereof be pre-
sented for entry upon; the minutes Of
the courts of !A1eXandria city and
county. i,
| Resolved, that copies of these reso-
lutions be published in the Alexandria
city and county papers.

NEW GERMAN CHANCELLOR
Prince Maximilian of Baden Said to
he Inimical to the Kaiser.

London, Oct. 4.-The man who more
than once was talked about by the
German moderates as most likely to
succeed in coup d'etat to replace
tie Kaiser has been named by Will
liam II as Imperial Chancellor, Sue
ceeding Count Won Hertling. He is
Prince Maximilian Of Baden.
The first suggestion the new chan
cellor made after being appointed
chancellor was for another peace Of
fens:ye, according to the Amsterdam
CORRESPONDENT of .he Daily Express,
who adds that the plan was promptly
veto.d by the: Kaiser and Won Hin
ee;burg.
Prince Maximiliao is the prospec-
tive grand duke of Bs'en. He is: 81
years Gid. His pol!i!ta. confession OF
faith revolyes around reace by. IN
dersFanding and conc:l station. "No:cpn-
quests" is one of his main principles.
Not long ago he startled Germany

ing. a "rapprochement" with the al
lies. especially Eng Al and America.
In political quarters here, Speculation
turns about the question as 'to, whether
the Kaiser ,calledshis fwould-b rival
to the highest ofice in his giving sp
order to "ppt him ,safe,'' lest ! in the
quiet recesses Of the Grand Duehy he
continue plotting to seize the Hohen-
zollern crown. -. :.g'.: J.
To be sure. the reports that such
has been the princes ambition, OF
at least that of his friends and fol
lowers, have been vague, if persistent
and definite confirmation of these
stories is still lacking. /; !.
The Prince'sl moderate views, how.
ever, are fully known. + - 4. f.. !. !.
The new chancellor is likely to make
his debut in the Reichstag early next
week, for the parties are reported K

TAKE ClTY5O.FIL ENS'
Famous "Black District" of France
Abandoned by the Germans With
out Shot.

Abandoned by the Germans With
out Shot.
London, Oct. 4.-The British Fourth
army yesterday broke through the
German line on both sides of Beau
Revoir (nearly three miles east of lie
! Catelet) and captured Mont Brehain,
midway between Beau Revoir and Fon-
somme.
The coal city of Lens, center of
! Frances famous "black district" has
been abandoned by the Germans
without shot. Armentieres, likewise,
has been evacuated. The whole front
between the two towns, stretch o.
some seventeen miles, has fallen back
and is still in retreat. Berlin asserts
officially Lens and Armentieres were
abandoned Tuesday evening, and ap-
pends to this announcement Luden
dor!r's pet phrase in hours of adms-
sions OF defeat: "Unnoticed by the
enemy"
The German Lens-Armentiere re-
treat already has reached a depth of
nearly Ave miles.
Late yesterday evening front dis
patches deport indications that the
Germans are removing the civilian
population from Lille, the northern
hinge of the tottering Hindenburg
line.
Several thousand prisoners were
taken in today's fighting.
King Albert's valiant little army
and its British comrades under P!umer
are withstanding terrific German
counter attacks and are fighting their
way forward toward the important
bases of Turcoing and Scoutrai.
The French between five and six
miles southeast, of ST. Quentin, arc
rapidly outfanking La Fere. That
place captured, only two hinges, Lille
in the north and Laon in the south,
will remain to testify that there was
once Hindenburg line. Laon al
ready is gravely threatened by the
French, who are only five miles to the
south of it.

BuIgaria's Detection Affecting Aus
trian Public Opinion Deeply
Two official dispatches from Bernc
emphasize new phases cf conditions
in Germany and Austria Hungary,
and especially the desire of the latter
country to break from the alliance.
One says:
"The Rulgar detection seems to af-

public opinion. The Vienna Korre-
spondez Bureau says that a Buda-
pest paper deeemd it necessary to
deny rumors to the effect that the
dual monarchy would feel inclined to
make a separate peace. Besides. a
correspondent of the Vossische lei
tung declares that Count Karolyi has
made the following statement to his
friends: We are here to try to make
possible the pacifsts' peace. Quick in
tervention is necessary. We must OBJ
tain a democratic peace e.''' !"
