EX-k AISER'S DELUSIONS

Prof. Adolph Won Ha,nack was
William rs advisor for many years.
He recently said: 1--WE frequently
disputed about God and religion.
The Kaiser was Joan OF Arc who
failed. He suffered from spiritual
possessions" | often tried to con-
vince his Majesty before the war
that his orthodox interpretations
OF the Bible were obsolete and dan
gerous. ''When he was himself. the
Kaiser was kindly peace-lovlng
man. He was very sentimental and
modest, but the illusions which came
to the Maid of Orleans came to him.
| have seen him when strange light
came into mis- eyes. When the idea
that he vas the instrument through
which the Deity spoke overpowsred
him. his voice would change and his
manner grow curious"
Prof. Won Harnack further said
that the Kaiser is gone and that
something else has come in his place.
BoiShevism has come. The hunger of
the German people today threatens
the world more than did the sword Of
William II. BolShevism is form Of
that has come into the
world.

TRANSPORTATION PROBLEM

The almost sudden transition
which has taken place III our city
during the past year by the addition
of thousands of persons to our pop
ulation with their many demands
have given representative Alexan-
drians a number of interesting sub
iects to consider. Most of those
needing immediate attention have
been met or are being met, while
others imminent in the near future
by the location Of hundreds of other
strangers in our midst are being
given the attention they deserve.
Since the augmentation of our
population an Inconvenience which
was in evidence years ago. but which
had been eliminated, has rcappeared.
We refer to transportation between
Alexandria and Washington. There
seems to be plenty of trains in oper-
alton. and they run at short inter
walls, but persons returning to Alex
andra daring the latter part of the
day are cftcn subject to ''tieups'
which cause them to remain in Wash
ington or upon the road sometimes
hours after their days labor is over.
AleXandrians returning homc late
yesterday wSTe subjected to tanta-
ling experinece. Trains were block
ed on MARYLAND avenue and remain
ed there an hour and a half. The
trouble is generally ascribcd to the
current, which comes from Behring'S
and is it is said not sufficiently pow
erful to meet the many and incrcas-
ing demands upcn the plant at that
place.
A few ycars ago comparatively few
Alexandrians were employed IN
Washington. Since the outbreak of
the war, however, hundreds Of young
people have taken places in govern
ment departments and other places
in the capital city, and early trains
and late trains are generally packed,
some often being forced to stand
upon the platforms Of the cars.
The officials of the company, we
hope, will take gentle hint and be
able to relieve present conditions.

"Does German theology reconcile
religion and war;" the professor was
asked.
"Yes," he said. Good has nothing

God took sides with His chosen PEG.

THE VALLEY TRAGEDY

Court investigation Of the cir
cumstances leading to the killing OF
two alleged bootleggers by prchlol-
ton agents. and the surrounding OF
the latter by a mob which clamored
for their lives, should be SO search
ing that it's findings may serve as
guide to action which will prevent
the repetition of such lamentable
and disgraceful scenes in Virginia.
The above is suggested by the
Richmond Times-D Dispatch, which
further observes that "events are
coming to pass even as it has been
predicted by thousands that they
would with the growth of illicit
LIQUOR traffic and the ill-advlsed
methods by which agents Of the pro-
hibiton department, in their eager
ness to make captures and contis-
cate contraband, seek to check 1t.
The list of dead and injured is in
crcasing, and it will continue to
grow unless radical change is
brought about. Perhaps the tragedy
on the Shenandoah Turnpike and
the ensuing mob scenes in Winches-
ter may serve as the needed warn
ing which shall bring it about.
"Thcrc is no doubt, in the face t
news dispatches, that the two men
who fell victims to the pistols of the
agents were violating both the State
and Federal laws by transporting
liquor. And. whether or net they
did begin the battle, there is no doubt
Of their preparedness to take hu-
man life. because pistols and ammu-
niton were found in their possession.
These facts are established and are
proof positive that they took their
lives into their own hands when they
started through Virginia with their
Illicit cargo. But it may be peril
ncnt for the courts to inquire if the
officers had abded by the law, and if
they had provided attempting to
make the arrests. 1t is said that
they had stopped and searched every
automobile passing along the high
way, but by what legal authority,
beyond the sanction of the prohibit
ton department. it is not stated.
The court, of course, will inquire II
it was necessary for them to draw
their pistols if, as one report states,
they began the fatal fusilade, while
the bootleggers. at that time not
proved bootleggers, were attempting
tc reverse their car and make their
escape"

UNREST IN THE WORLD

ing anxiety to thinking people in all
civilized countries. It was long sup
posed that this satanic agency would
be confined to Russia, but this illus
ion has long since passed away.
Agents of these destroycrs and loot
ers are found everywhere, even IN
Paris where delegates from the ma
tons of the world are cndeavoring
to formulate peace plans.
The Bolshevists are enemies of all
religion. They believe in the ellmna-
ton of churches, and should this or
ganization spread and become pow
erful in every cline, which, IS its
aim, the time may come when relig-
ion may not be found walking in
her silver slippers and it will be-
come necessary to run risk in wit
Messing for the faith. The war will
be against churches as we'll as gov
arnments which endeavor to curb the
will of fierce men.
That the world war has developed
restlessness, spiritual as we'll as
material, is the admission generally
of statesmen and leaders in the
church. At no time, possibly, since
the beginning of the Christian era
has religion been so menaccd as at
present. On the other hand, it may
be said that at no time has there
been such unanimity of effort
against the forces of darkness and
sin as the world is today witnessing.
Belief and unbelief seem to De mass
ing AS for gigantic struggle, and
if one may Judge from the signs OF
the times there is slowly but surely
evidencing a drawing together OF al!
the forces which make for law, order
and righteousness to meet and to
overthrow whatever menace there
NAV be in all the ''isms" which have
recently come into being.
Millions of dollars are being raised
in the United States and in other
countries for the spread of the Cos
rcl and for various church activities.
Numerous forward movements at
test to the unity of purpose OF
Christians regardless of factional di-
visions. Jew and Gentiles, Catholic
and Protestant, all seem to sense
the battle cry, for the menace to one
is the menace to all.
The situation is well stated in a
recent editorial in the Guardian, the
official organ of the Church of Eng
land, published in London, which says
in part:
"On every hand disconnected work
men are striking for more money
and less work; no sooner is one de-
mand conceded than another is
sprung upon US, often with little
reason. The political domain is full

men arc dissatisfed-th do not al
ways quite know why; but man is
the most initiative of al! animals.
and while some countries are SYM
pathetic to naked revolution, others
respond readily to these more subtle
forms of revolt which consist in
strikes and general .unsettlement."
