ed TO make report recommending
an increase of ten dollars per month

Alexandria is now facing a time
when street improvements are aoSo-

able streets are needed at once a:or the
greatly increased travel now maze

streets. The company IS now en-
saredzin constructing a road on Lee
street from Jefferson to South streets

wagons which are being used III pre-
pairing the reclaimed Baptlsmg Cove
for their purposes. The city has tur-
nished broken stone and other ma
terials Tor this work. The shipbulldng
company has greatly improved the
roadway and constructed cutters on
both sides of the thoroughtare.
Royal street from Wilkes to Soath
street (Hunting Creek will soon de-
mand improvements. The shlpouild-
ing company has purchased Jones
Point as far west as Fairfax street,

men along this front in their ultimate
victory.
No more gallant defense has been
recorded since the war began than that
now going on, and while further sac
rffices are expected, and even further
loss of ground no doubt exists on the
British front that ultimately the allies
will come into their own when the
German side has spent its fury.
1t must not be forgotten that thus
far virtually the whole weight of the
terrific German offensive has been d.
rected at the annihilation Of the Brit
ish army. The first great blow was
aimed at the British and was con-
tinued until with the assistance of the
gallant French allies, the German on
rush was checked.
Baked in their plans at the outset.
