R, C.L. MONCURE IS
STRICKEN At OFFICE
Found Dead in Building at Fort
Myer Heights by One OF
His Clients.
HEART DISEASE is CAUSE

Richard c. L. Moncure. 9orty-eight
years old, one of the best known crtmi-
nal lawyers in northern Virginia, was
found dead at o'clock this morning In
his law offices at Fort Myer Heights. in
Alexandria county.
The body of Mr.. Moncure was found
by Mr.. Peck of Clarendon, who had
come to see the lawyer on some legal
business. DIR. s. T. Ashton, coroner OF
Alexandra county. ascribed heart trou-
BILE as the cause of death and deemed an
inquest unnecessary.
Crandar Mackey, former common
wealth's attorney for Alexandria coun-
.ty. was among the many friends OF Mr..
Moncure who arrived at the Office Of the
deceased a short time after the finding
of Mr.. Moncure's body.
Failed to Restore Life.
When Mr.. Moncure was found a call
was sent to Emergency Hospital here.
and DR.. J, W. Mankin, superintendent
of Emergency Hospital. made record
run to Fort Myer Heights in an effort
to save the attorneys life, taking a
pulmotor with him and working the in
strument in vain for more than thirty
minutes.
Physicians were summoned from Fort
Myer and Alexandria, but DR.. Mankin
reached there ahead of them.
Only an hour before being found dead
Mr.. Moncure was with his son. Winship
Moncure, in the Office and apparently
was in his usual health. 1t Is supposed
that when Mr.. Moncure was attacked
he was standing in the center OF the
floor OF his offices. for it was at this
point that the body was found.
Mr.. Moncure was a son of the late DR..
William P. Moncure Of Stafford county,

Reports by banks and trust compa-

this morning show that actual sale of
the third liberty loan bonds in Wash
ington yesterday was ss2s,65o. bringing
the grand total for the city up to
37,744,46o. Reports were not made to-
day by four banks. and but for this the
local committee believes tho sales yes
terday would have hit tho million mark.
The local committee is not wasting a
moment, and is bending every effort to
swell the total sales to $12.s00,000
which Is the city's quota, and which Is
S5,O55, $50 more than the total as 1t

Resistance by q. s. Troops.


The French newspapers make special
mention OF the Seicheprey AFFAIR in
which the American troops vigorously
resisted a very strong enemy attack.
4 dispatch from France follows:
'Seicheprey. is twenty-eight kilo-
meters eastward Of. St. Mihiel. The
tacks on the Goth and the 21st Of
April against the American positions.
both were repulsed after short fights
end the line has been everywhere held
fast
THE Petit Parisien comments on the
operation in the following terms:
The enemy has little cause to be
proud Of the fight which he started at
6eicheprey. since he is obliged to con-
fsss that he has been compelled to re-
turn to the position from which he
started. He has only succeeded In
throwing into relief the warlike quail
ties Of the American soldiers who. with
the French troops occupying that sec.
tor, have held German forces at bay
Tho Echo de Paris writes about the
same e6gagement:

The Belleclaire Liberty
Bond quota was 500, 900.
1t went over the top. with sub
scriptions amounting to $l02,-
600, the second day. Since
then the sales have climbed, in
smaller sums, it is true, but the
point is that they climbed.
There was no let-up in work
Success did not turn our
heads.
This is the principle on which
the Belleclaire always works.
To do only that which is ex-
pected Of us would stop US
from gong ahead.
We want to do more for
Belleclaire patrons than they
expect-and apparently we are
succeeding. because our bust
ness is growing and the guests

president whom we have ever had
has been obligated to suffer N the
same manner. Let us learn lesson
from history and forget partisanship,
forget to gossip and forget to spread
idle tales which have absolutely no
basis for foundation.
This war is going to be, won, we
are all sure of that. War is not a
holiday, but there is no excuse for
magnifying it's horrors; they are
is being shot in our military camps,
the men at Washington are doing ev-
erything possible to place this coun-
try in state of real preparation for
the ultimate, victory, which must
come; your boys and ours are being
treated squarely and fairly by the
government, and every time you con-
denim without offering remedy you
are aiding the German cause.
Constructive criticism is always
criticism, which merely
tears down without rebuilding or
offering means for so doing is
and merely indicates
the caliber of the one who offers it.

STRONG WORDS.

One of the best war speeches we
have read is that of Rabbi Wise at
milwaukee. Speaking of German
citizens attitude, he said:
is there any man who imagines
that, because his father or mother
was born within one of the central
European states, he must support the
present German government?
loved and honored my father, who
was a native and throughout much
of his life, citizen of one of the
German empires, bu' l will not dis
honor my father in his grave by be-
lieving that ii he were living he
would not have felt as deeply as
feel that no room must be left in the
world for that species of organized
criminality, temporarily invested
with the name and title OF the Ger
man government"
That bristles with patriotism and
sound sense. This country is square,
ly against Germany in it's purpose
and pretense, and it is the duty of
every man who makes his home here
to assist in crushing Germany in it's
dire purpose to establish blood and
iron as the rule Of humanity. 1t is
not a race problem.
1t is humanity proposition. We
have met the climax of ages, and We
must stand for democracy to the bit
ter end. and every man should rally
TO the Stars and Stripes in the exc
cution OF the trust which the cehtur-
les have placed upon us.
