CARELESS AUT0ISTS.

The number of automobiles and au-
to trucks in Alexandria has been aug
mented greatly during the past few
weeks, or since the Virginia Ship
building Corporation began opera
lions in the southeastern section of
the city. Some are of ponderous pro-
portions, and carry trailers. Others
are used to haul bricks, broken stone,
etc., and are, apparently, as heavy
as old-time locomotives. Apart from
these the number of passenger auto
mobiles has been greatly increased.
Many of this class of modern vehicles
are used by contractors and others.
While most of the drivers are care
full and obey the traffic laws, others
are inclined to be reckless, so much
so that it is necessary to station
policemen at Washington and King,
Alfred and King streets for the pur-
pose Of preventing accidents. The Of
fcers are. lenient and patient, and do
everything possible to avoid making
arrests, but occasionally it is neces-
sary, to put the strong arm Of the law
in force in order to maintain respect
from fragrant violators of the same.
Yesterday Sergeant Wilkinson az
rested man who was in charge Of
a heavy truck which was, he alleged,
being operated at a speed Of twenty
arniles an hour near King and AL
fred streets. The driver had also ran
his machine almost against the Curl
stone on the southeast corner while
he was proceeding north. The Offer
der was brought before the Police
Court this morning and. fined SO.
We all rejoice to see so many ve-
hicles on our streets as well as the
great number of strangers who now
compose large part of our popula
ton, and the authorities are 10th 10
do anything which could in any Way
impede the good work now in prog
ress, bit safety first and always"
must be our motto, and violators Of
law will necessarily be held to ac-
count when they deliberately defy
statutes which have been in force in
all cities since the advent of Inc
automobile. 1t is hoped that all il
terested will take due notice and act
accordingly.

ORIGIN OF THE HUMAN RACE

Visitors to London who have Il
spected the West kensington Museum
have met the marble effigy of Chas
Darwin on the stairway. It has oc,
Cured to such that many years age
he startled the human race by ask.
ing the question, May we not, af:cl
all, be the evolution of the simiac
creation?" Hence the Darwinian the
ory that we are the offspring OF
monkeys, balloons, gorillas, apes
chimpanzees, etc.
This was bad enough, but later
German scientists traced the origin
of the race down to insects which n
habit the. seas, too small to be seen
by the naked eye. Now a great au-
thority tells US our progenitors were
lizards ard creeping things.
DR.. Edward H. Bradford. dean OF
the Harvard Medical School, issued
a warning last Sunday against trac4
ing ones ancestry further back than
Adam and Eve. The monkey, and
worse yet, lizards and creeping
things, might be reached in such a
searching process.
"The human species he added,
Originally We're lizards. Until it has
been definitely established in what
order the offspring broke away. it
cannot be determined whether man
and monkey are first or forty-seventh
cousins"
While there may be something in
the nature of an allegory in the orr
gin of the human race as described
in the book of Genesis, its simplicity
will ever appeal to the genus homo.
We are told that man was made in
the image of his Creator, who breath
ed the breath of life into his nostr;is,
and that he became living soul.

GERMAN GREED.
puts

German ''big business" is still back
ing the German government and the
military command in its policy Of an
nexation and domination. German
"big business" is already building for
future wars. No later than December,
1917, the association of German
manufacturers of iron and steel and
the association of German metallur-
gists, with headquarters at Berlin
and Dusseldorf, added vigorously
confidential" memorial, both to the
German government and the imperial
German military command, demand
ING the forcible annexation of the
French iron base of Biery and Long
wv because of "its extreme import
ance for German national economy
and for the conduct of future Wars.
One copy of the vigorously conf
Dental memorial has just come into
the hands of the French military az
thorities. 1t constitutes the most
damning evidence that after three
and a half years of warfare, in which
Germany has sacrificed 100000 OF
her own soldiers. German business"
the German government, the German
military party and, apparently, the
German people themselves, remain
absolutely unchanged in their desire
and determination for robbing other
countries of their possessions.
Importance of the Lorraine iron
base in 'the conduct Of future wars
is the concluding argument of the en-
tire memorial for forcible annexation
of this strip of French territory. The
memorial frankly states that: If
with the outbreak of hostilities in
1914, the French had destroyed their
own mines at Biery, which later fell
into the hands of the Germans, and
at the same time with their long
range guns destroyed the iron mines
on the German side of the Lorraine
frontier, the war could not have last
cd more than a few months" Equal
" frank admission is made that it is
only with the iron secured from the
occupied mines of French Lorraine
that the Germans in 1917 were able
to meet the needs of their artillery,

Pandora should never be blurred by
the Darwinian theory. She was the
recipient of all the gifts Of the gods.
But like Eve, she brought trouble IL
to the world, although the former was
told she would eventually bring forth
one mightier than the tempter who
had caused her fall. "In the fulness of
time" woman produced the deliverer
from all our woes. The world will

Complete Sections of Troops
Have Been Found Fast
Asleep

With the British Army in France,
Wednesday, July l7.-(By the Associated
Press German troops in some portions
of the trenches in Flanders have been so
exhausted and demoralized by constant
British raids, attacks and bombardments,
that many of them have fallen asleep
at their posts.
An order, issued to Bavarian infan-
try regiment reveals condition of af-
fairs which up to this time would have
been thought unbelievable in an army
notorious for the strictness of its dis
cipline. The commanding officer wrote
on June IS:
while making a tour of the line this
morning | came across complete sec
tions fast asleep in spite of its being
dawn and misty. These sections had
removed their equipment and had not the
faintest idea of the country, of DISPOSE
lions, of their orders or of the troops
on their TANKS"
Much activity continues behind the
German front, but the infantry has re-
manned very quiet since the beginning
of the present German offensive around
Rheims.
No attempt has been made to recover
the ground lost at Ridge Wood on Mon
day when the British captured BAL men
and seven officers. The Germans have re-
NAMED passive under repeated British
thrusts around Bailleul. Only the ar
tillery has INDUCED in retaliation.

The Berlin Vorwaerts says that the
entire enemy world win learn of this
confession with great satisfaction and
adds: IF Herr Won Strantz had been
