H. christian nation which now pos.

the Christian nation which now pos
sesses it, seems strange.
The kaiser several years before ne
nrac;nitated the war visited the holy
city, at which time he uttered words
the import of which was not clearly
understood at the time. They were
taken as poetic attempts upon the part
of the ambitious German ruler, and
no one supposed at the time that II
was his purpose to keep the city IN the
hands of the infdel Moslems while he
made Turkey part of the tail OF his
kite.
The British have for some time been
in possession of Jerusalem, to the
great disgruntlement of the kaiser,
and he is now preparing to assist the
followers of Mahomet to regain the
city.
Should he succeed in replacing Je-
rusalem in the hands Of the Moslems,
all the hopes of the Zionists would
vanish. while the forecasts, OF the
seers Of old concerning the future OF
the Jewish capital would vanish as a
dream.
A dispatch rom London says the
Terrible Turk is preparing for great
offensive in Mesopotamia and Pales-
tine to take place in the autumn, after
the summers heat lifts and permits
a resumption of the fighting in the
desert country.
The Turks are said to be preparing
on a great scale for a drive south
ward through Northwestern Persia
AMI Northeastern Asiatic Turkey to
recover Bagdad and Jerusalem from
the British. Not only are the Turks
anxious to recover Jerusalem, but the
Germans have let it be known that
they will not permit" that city 10
remain in British hands.
This leads to the belief that the
Turkish army, when it starts its Of
fcnsive,- will be heavily REINFORCED
5y German troops. It is now under
the command Of a German general
whose headquarters are at Aleppo.

VIRGINIA NEWS

In an effort to float the steamer
Inca, which stranded at Currituck July
l, wreckers yesterday sweetened the
Atlantic ocean with 1876 bags of raw
sugar, which they were compelled to
jettison. A message from Currituck
said the Inca had been moved about
seventy feet, but is still high and dry.
The ship was bound from Cuba to a
northern port with cargo of sugar.
Accused Of attacking his fiancec
while in an automobile, William S.
Nelson, Of Martinsburg, was yester-
day held under bond of $1,000 for
preliminary hearing. The young mans
father, of Strasburg, furnished bond.
The charge against Nelson was filed
by Miss Eleanor Wolf, of Shippens-
burg, Pa, a nurse at the Kings
Daughters Hospital. Miss Wolf says
she jumped from the automobile,
climbed through a barbed wire fence
and hid in some woods, through which
they were driving. Her left knee was
lacerated in jumping from the car
and her hands cut by the wire. Mel
son states that the affair was lovers
quarrel and that he had been drinking.

does not apply to policemen, 1t IS

arguments advanced by attorneys for
the accused policemen in seeking
abatement of the proceedings. 1t is
said that the defense counsel will
point out that the constitution pro-
vdes for definite and specific mode
of procedure in the case or police
man against whom charges have been
preferred: namely. trial by the mayor,
and that the custer law cannot tran
scend the provisions of the constltu-
ton, and. moreover, there is nothing
in the custer act which provides for
the repeal of the constitutional au-
thority which underlies the charter OF
the city.

OUR OLD FRIEND Kraft

During the first three years of the
war, Louis Kraft, formerly a resi-
dent Of Alexandria, occasionally sent
us a letter from KaiSerslautern, Ger
MANY, in which he invariably took is
sue with The Gazette for its pro-ally
sentiments. During the past year
and half, or since the United States
was forced into the struggle, we have
failed to receive any missives from
our old friend. Mr.. Kraft is ma
turalized American citizen, and at one
time was employed in government
capacity. He was also years ago a
member OF the Common Council from
the Second ward.
Mr.. Kraft often wrote articles for
The Gazette. Shortly before the out
break of hostilities he left our city
for his old home, where he purposcd
to spend the evening of life. Being a
German by birth, he naturally sympa-
thized with the Fatherland, and i'm
bibed the principles Of the kaiser and
his war lords. We have heard moth
ing from him since his adopted coun-
try was, in order to preserve its prin-
ciples of liberty, forced into the war
against autocracy.
In perusing the worlds happenings
today we saw dispatch stating that
British airmen had dropped bombs
upon kaiserslauern, the present home
of our old friend.
War is war, and but little Giscrimi-
nation is made when cities are at
tackled Naturalized American eiti-
zens who may be in such places must
take their chances with others when
bombs are flying. We, however. hope
cur old friend will escape injury. He
would doubtless breathe easier were
he back in Alexandria, far removed
from hostile airships which are now
making a target OF his home in
kaiserSlautern.

DEATH of YOUNG FAwCETT

The death of Richard H. Fawcett,
a Young Alexandrian, the result Of
an accident to an airplane at Belle
vile. ILL.,, yesterday, has cast a gloom
over many in the community. Young
Fawcett is the first Alexandrlan
whose life has been sacrificed IN the
present war. Many are now on the
western front in France, all of whom,
so far as we can learn, are alive and
we'll, but the unfortunate young man
who was in the aviation corps was
destined to forfeit his life in the land
of his birth.
The entire community will mingle
it's tears with those Of the family
from which he went forth IN the de-
tense of his country.
The young man was a son OF Mrs.
Mary G. Hooff Fawcett and the late
Doctor E. S. Fawcett. He was born
and reared in our midst, and was at
the portals of manhood when his ca
reer was brought to sudden close.
While the young man had not re-
ceived his baptism of fire, he belonged
to a branch Of the military service
which requires as much nerve and
daring as that necessary to meet the
foe upon the battlefield. While ne
did not die amid the clash of war, ne
died in the discharge Of his duty.

GOVERNOR SAYS PIONEERS ARE SPLENDID TYPE Tells About His Impressions Following Inspection of Pioneers Home

 biSh Pile.

Gov. Thomas Riggs, Jr., who re
 turned the first of the week from
 Sitka was enthusiastic over his trip
 to the old capitol. Allen Shattuck, a director of the Pioneers Home, accompanied Gov Riggs on his trip.
 "The Pioneers Home is a splendid
 niece of philanthropic work on the
 part of the Territory" said Gov.
 Riggs. "There are now 63 inmates.
 The buildings are not entirely adapt--
 cd 10 institutional needs, but have
 answered the experimental purposes
 very well and will be useful until
 such time as money, men and ma
 terials are available. The inmates as a whole are comfortable and con tented although there are naturally some who find a certain amount Of fault This, however, is to be ex- pected among 63 old sourdoughs. | The type of men in the home is re- | markable splendid, cheerful old men | who are simply there as result of misfortunes experienced in the Far North. They are loyal, good Ameri- cans and the Territory should be proud to be able to render assis- tance to them in their days of ad- yersity. 1 hope to see the Home get the full assistance of the Legisla- ture.
 "Sitka is one of the places of great historical interest in Alaska and l regret that the Alaska history has not received the recognition it should. All our relics are slipping away into museums in the States, which should be kept in Alaska for the benefit of our citizens and visit
