but not heat, so We must look TO the

statements, which will still be remem77!
bered by our readers. As the Rich.
mond Virginian says, perhaps none.
is more SO than the assertion creditea
to a lady, for whose veraclty ana
gravity the ambassador vouches, that
the crown prince assured her Of MS
purpose to provoke war on his acces-
sion to the thronc,( provided his faith
er had not done so first. Needless to
note that this patriotic purpose OF the
son was forestalled by the superior
efficiency of the father.
But the prince went on to say that
his war would include an attack on
+he United States. Our contemporary
directs attention to the fact that dur
ing the course Of the controversy over
the submarines, the kaiser turned on
the United States minister with a
menacing snarl and the exclamation,
"I,et me tell you that after this war
is over I will brook no nonsense from
the United States" And Won Tlrpitz'
then and perhaps still the greatest
power in Germany under the kaiser
and Won Hindenburg, said CURLY that
ne expected after England was beaten
to her knees 10 use the Germany navy
against the United States.
Scores of individual expressions OF
German hatred for the United States
even before our entrance upon the war
could be cited. But they might bt
dismissed as mere gossip. The Incl
dents cited are dignified by inclusion
n an ambassadors memoirs. Iney
leave no doubt that the idea of con-
ouest of the United States was rooted
in the German mind, before we flung
down the gage OF battle.
We are now in the war and 1t IS IN
credible that Germany should win IT.

STRANGE MALADY IN SPAIN
King Alfonso and 10 Per Cent of the
Population III, Paralyzing Industry.

London, May 2S-A mysterious cpl
demic is sweeping the whole of Spain,
the Express learns from its Madrid
correspondent. 1t is estimated that
20 per cent of the Spanish population
is affected by the disease, which is
paralyzing the coutrys industries.
King Alfonso is confined to his bed
1t is feared he has fallen victim to
the plague. The military maneuvers
have had to be halted. The disease
is described as being similar to intia-
enza, though it differs in that the
victims are seized by sudden fits. Per-
sons being stricken by commissions in
the streets is common sight since
the epidemic started.

STARVATION IN EUROPE
Mormon Missionaries Tell of Condi-
tons Among Neutrals.

Salt Lake City, Utah, May 2S-Mls-
sionaries of the Church o. Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mor-
mons), returning to the United States
from foreign work, in their reports to
the church, tell stories of desperate
fooc scarcity in parts of Europe.
Although food scarcity among the
nations allied with Germany and neu-
trail nations is well-known, the return
ing missionaries bring detailed stories
describing the condition as a tragedy.
Carl 7. Peterson, of Logan, Utah,
recently returned from Sweden, ana
+. l.. Otteson, of Spanish Fork, Utah,
lust arrived from Norway, said that
the bread problem IN these countries
appeared critical. Long lines OF wo-
men and children, waiting for hours
with their food cards and often turned
away in fainting condition with emp
tv hands because the supply gave out
was a frequent sight, according to
these men.
Foreigners, especially in some parts
Of Norway, Mir. Otteson said, were
asked to leave, the government OH
Gals declaring there was no food.
One missionary stated that ne sd"
in Christiana 10000 people standing
in line for allowances of potatoes, SIN
pounds to family, and the supply
was exhausted before one-halt OF
them had been given their allowance
Wood pulp was being used in % pei
cent, proportions in much of the bread
along with mixtures of various wheat
substitutes.
Only six Mormon" missionaries are
left in Norway, where there were for
merly as many as 100, according To
Mr.. Otteson. Tewlve are left II
Sweden, ten of whom are now due to
return to the United States.

President Wilson ended discussion
over whether Congress shall! stay III
Washington this summer to enact new
revenue legislation by appearing yes
terdav before the House and Senate
in Joint session and calling upon MEM
bers to put aside politics and all other
considerations to provide money for
growing war expenses and to advise
the country in advance of the tax
burdens it must meet.
Just as the President was leaving
the White House Tor he Capitol word
came that the German drive against
the west front had been renewed. lie
gave his visit dramatic touch by
announcing this news as he conclUa-
ed his prepared speech, saying 1t
strengthened the purpose he had tried
to express.
The demand that with "the war at
its peak and crisis, Congress do It's
dutv at home as the soldiers ore do

LET IT BE 4 FETE DAY

On Thursday, the Both instant
Decoration Day., the keel Of an iron
steamship will be laid by the Virginia
Shipbuilding Corporation at their
plant in this city.
The day being holiday, most
Alexandrians as well as many per
sons from Washington and nearby
places are expected to be present. 1t
IS suggested that Alexandrians make
it day of rejoicing, and that flags
be placed upon houses and other evil
dences of patriotism be in evidence
upon the occasion.
Thirty-ive years have passed away
since the keel of vessel OF any great
size has been laid in Alexandria. IN
the year 1883 the keel of a large
three-masted schooner was laid north
Of the present steamship plant It
was that Of the Henry S. Culver
which was launched the same year,
and pronounced to be one o. the most
shapely sehooners ever constructed in
America. The vessel had but Il short
career, however, it having been lost
IN severe storm off the American
coast year or two after having been
committed to the water.
a number OF government officials
are expected to be present at the keel
laying Thursday, and there will doubt
less be universal turnout OF our
own people who for several months
have been enthused by the installa-
ton Of the ship-building plant IN Alex
ardria.
Many rumors arc in circulation con-
corning the alleged intentions Of the
Virginia Shipbuilding Corporation III
che expansion of their plant, which
incidentally will bring other enter
Drises to Alexandria. We can say
nothing officially concerning their ulti-
maize designs. General Foch whan
asked what was to be the result Of
the last German drive merely said:
wait" That is about all we can
say.

TIE TEuTON HANDICAP

The German IS not swift and. as is
said by the Philadelphia Record, it is
not his disposition to hurry. It IS, IN
fact, so uncongenial to his tcmpera-
ment that those who know him best
are prone to look ior reaction on his
part, if stimulation is applied TO him.
Yet Hindcnburg IS trying to speed
him UP, to beat the Yankees.
Now, whatever eject that may HAYS
on the Teutonic disposition, however
pcevish and unresponsive he may
prove, the effort is bound to failure,
because his opponent in the race IS
te.nperamentally and By custom =
hustler. Not only that; III this in
stance he is most eager. All he asks
IS that he may get into the game as
speedily as possible, and the farther
in. the better. Besides. the govern
lncnr and the people, his people. who
have not his privilege of service cover
there" are seconding his efforts. They
arc hehind the Yankee soldiers in a
Totally different way from the way in
which the potsdam gang and the dis
appointed German people arc behind
the nordoS Of the Hun.
The al highest and MS satellites
are driving his myriads as Ne-XeS
caused MS TO be driven at Thcrmopy-
lac. with the lash, against free and
fearless and heroic soldiers. Fitting g

barbarians, 10 save the civilized world
from desecration, defIement and ruin.
The German people, demanding vie
tary. are inspirci by a sense Of loss,
dis.!lusion ard betrayal. They clamor
gor material results for their material
icssos. They ard their rulers and the
German army all lack the sportsman
spirit in a contest where that must
needs be the deciding factor. There
2-o mere among them capable of
achieving the impossible, and they are

Kinds Which are Mere Powerful

Washington, May 29.-Ihe deadly
gases with which the Americans
northwest Of Toul bathed the German
positions on Tuesday were merely a
foretaste of what the enemy IS to get
shortly, according to army officers
who are familiar with the prepara-
tions the War Department IS making
along this line.
The chemists who compounded the
ingredients of the new American
gases are convinced they surpas5s IN
deadliness and effectiveness anything
that the Germans have discovered.
The attitude here is that # the Ger
mans insist upon using this method
Of warfare the United States IS com
PEELED to resort to the same weapons.
And while about it, the authorities are
not going to do it in a halfway fash-
ion.

amount of secrecy, some of the lore

they had discovered gas which they
regarded as far superior to that IN

Whether this new gas was used
against the Germans last Tuesday is
