NOT. A NEW THING.

German "kultur", as it has been
demonstrated in the present war, is no
new thing, as the following will show:
every village they have passed
through has been the victim Of what
is only organized pi!lage. Every city
has been practically sacked, ransack-
ed or system; its citizens plundersa,
its civil officials ter-orized, imprisnn-
ed, outraged, or killed. The civil POP
ulations have been, contrary TO tna
usage of modern warfare, forced &c
serve the invading armies, brutally put
to death, reduced to wholesale stalva-
ton. and desolation. Vast tracts Of
the richest and most industrious dis
tricts of Europe have been deliberately
stripped and plunged into famine, sole
* in order that the invaders might
make war cheaply Irregular troops,
contrary to all the practice OF war,
have been systematically murdered,
and civil populations indiscriminately
massacred, solely to spread terror.
a regular system of ingenious terror
ism has been directed against civilians.
as horrible as anything in the history
of civil or religious wars. Large and
nopu!ous cities have been, not once,
but 90, 80. 40 times, bombarded and
burnt. and the women and children IN
them wantonly slaughtered with the
sole object of intlicting suffering. All
this has been done not in license o.
passion, but b. the calculating feroci-
ty of scientific soldiers"
TIE above was not written yester-
dav, last month or last year, but i
might have been and have been true.
It appeared in the English Fortnight
" Review in February, 1871, shortly
before the surrender of Paris. Fred

CASES MULTIPLYING.

Daring the past week the Police
Court c. Alexandria has been kept
in almost perpetual session examining
cases of alleged violation Of the pro-
hibit:on law OF the state and in bond
ing some fer their appearance before
the grand jury. 1t seems that another

THE DOG LAWS.

Two parties were before the Police
Coure this morning to answer the
charge O. allowing vicious dogs to
roam The streets. A buillog, belong
ing to negro, had been on the ram-
page, and the ownc, was assessed five
dollars. A white man was the de-
PENDANT in the second case. He was
also charged with allowing vicious
deg to run at large The animal had
bitten 4 man. The owner OF the dog
offered to surrender it 20 the police
in order that 1t might be destroyed,
and later the officers dispatched the
bl'Gtc.
The law pro, idas for a fine OF five
dollars in eases where biting dogs are
allowed to roam az large The law
also provides that the Police Justice
may also. in addition 10 imposing The
fine. order the dog 10 be killed.
The dog nuisance IS again in CYL

CUTTING APPROPRIATIONS.

AS will be seen elsewhere. Governor
Davis has sent in his objections to the
profuse appropriations made by the
State Legislature at its last session.
He suggests that the bill be cut down
about one million and quarter OF
dollars. He makes specific reference
to the proposed increase in the sala-
res of the heads OF the different de
partments, as well Is members o.
commissions. and others.
Westmoreland Davis mas started out
on his gubernatoTial career as 9 pfac-
teal business mani Like many pr
vatc citizens OF the state. he sees no
goca reason why certain state officials
and subCrtlinates shculd receive sala-
ries far in excess Of the amount any
private enterprise would pay them.
The executive is also on record as
opposed to the further multiplication
Of state officers. They are undoubtcd-
~ in each others way II a number
Of places.
The state has during the past few
years rc*orte6 to every known law to
pile up money in the treasury by col
lecting taxes, past and present, and
consequently substantial Surplus
was fond at the beginning OF the
present year. There have been times
in the past when newly-irstalied gov
errors have found SURPRISES III the
state treasury which were entirely
expended during their term CT Office.
Evidently Governor Davis Is anxious
to avoi.. the faults Of others.

THE BLACKSNAKE WHIP.

It is almost a pity that some OF the
anologies for men in this country Who
keep talking about making peace win
Germany could not get a taste OF the
blacksnake whips the Germans are US
ing on women prisoners. IT there is
any one thing which will make the
blood of a real American boil 1t IS TO
read the senseless trash which IS con-
tinually being put into print by the
aforesaid apologies who merit ard re-
ceive only the contempt of red-bloodea
men.
Gideon Hoe, one of the Vigi!ante's
writers, says: "In slavery days the
most brutal overseers were accustomed
to drive lazy slaves TO work under the
lash. The blacksnake whip came to
have an evil reputation. 1t was the
SYMBOL of the cruel side of slavery
long since done away with IN TINS
country, thank God.
Among the Germans the blacksnake
whip is still in use. and IS more III
,famously employed than ever. Mar
paret Snodgrass, Corresponding See
retary Of the American Federation OF
Teachers, has this to report:
I have before me rs write, the
official text Of prociamations OF the
German and Austrian military CON-
mand in the recently occupied districts
OF northern Italy. These prociama-
lions require the inhabitants Of the
region to give up all GOOD supplies
of every kind. All persons over fifteen
wears of age are summoned to work IN
the fields under German task masters
from o'clock in the morning until s
o'clock in the evening.
"Disobedience will be punished in
the following manner: Lazy workmcn
will be accompanied in the work and
watched by Germans. After the har-
vest they will be, imprisoned for six
months and every third day be given
nothing but bread and water. Lazy
women will be obliged to work and
after the harvest will receive six
months imprisonment. Lazy children
will be punished by heating. the
commandment reserves the right 10
punish lazy women with twenty lashes
daily"
A careful computation by q writer
in The Atlantic Monthly, Nov. 1917,
gives the number of Belgians, French,
Poles, Serbs, Roumanians, and Rus
SLAMS, reduced to very practical siav-
cry as 42,O00,000 Hundreds OF thou
sands Of Italians have since been add
ed to these slaves Of the unspeakabl"
German.
Meanwhile. there ere certain peo-
pie who profess to think We should
make an immediate peace. Do they
long for the blacksnake whip?

Women Wanted in U. S. Navy

The opportunity so greatly de-
sired by patriotic women
throughout the country of doing
practical, effective war-work is
now open to those who possess
the necessary qualifications and
who wish to enroll in the Naval
Reserve Force for duty as store.
keepers.
In all the Allied countries,
women for a long time have been
performing work formerly done
by men, and they have done this
work so capably as to compel the
admiration of the world. The
motive Of the various Govern
ments in turning over such work
to women, has been to release
men for service at the front, and
this loyal purpose has inspired
thousands of women from all
walks of life to enter munition
factories, do farm labor, and en-
bark on scores of other enter
prises which go to make up the
industrial life of a nation at war.
In this country, the part to be
taken by women has not as yet
assumed the proportions it has
reached abroad. The tendency
in this direction, however, is
illustrated in the call recently
issued by the Naval Reserves for
women to act as storekeepers.
Women who have had experience
keeping stores, ndwhose patriot
ism prompts them to offer their
service in this capacity, will be
releasing large numbers of men
for sea duty on the new ships
which Uncle Sam is launching so
rapidly. Such women will, in a
very real and substantial fashion,
speed the war program of their
country, and hasten the coming
of Peace.
Women between the ages of
q and 35, desirous of serving in
the capacity mentioned, are ask
ed to communicate with the Dis
trict Enrolling Officer, Fifth
Naval District, 101 West Main
St, Norfolk, Virginia.

POWER PLANT
RUNNING AGAIN
Temporary Roof Erected Over One
Unit, New Switchboard Installed
and Power Furnished Monday
PERMANENT RESTORATION BEGUN

The operating staff of the
Roanoke Rapids Power Company
aided by the electricians and
constructing gangs of the seve-
raj mills here accomplished the
almost impossible last week by
getting one unit of the power
plant back into operation on
Monday morning following the
disastrous fire of last Thursday.
A temporary roof has been
erected over one end of the
plant, temporary switchboards
have been installed and every
mill furnished with power from
the plant is receiving current to
enable it to make full time, al
though in some instances it is
necessary to run part of the
machinery at night.
Permanent restoration has al
ready begun and strenuous ef-
forts are being made by Mr.. j.
1. Chase, manager Of the Com
pany, to get new switchboards
and machinery to replace those
destroyed, 1t is planned to put
a steel and concrete roof over
the entire plant and everything
possible will be done to eliminate
the possibility of another conha-
grafton. On account of the gen
eral conditions in the electrical
equipment world, it is, of course,
impossible to state yet when the
plant will be completely restored,
but nothing will be left undone
to expedite this work.
