THE WELCOMEA0ME WEEK

Not since 1907 (the Coming

hurry in "a Alexandria. This is
"Welcome Home Week." an occasion
that VIII IcTg be remembered. It
is inzthe% nature CT a grand ovation
to the Alexand.ians who enlisted OF
responded otherwise to the call to
agp,se when Liberty was threatened
by blood-thirsty power, which IS
now in sack cloth and ashes.
There are times in the history OF
every community when "blowouts'
are in order. They are the human
safety valves, and those who believe
in the saying that "true happiness
is Of quiet nature, an enemy to
pomp and noise" must give way fol
a day CT two at least to those who
desire to turn the community TEN.
polarly into general fair.
During this week there will prob,
ably be encroachments upon some
Of our municipal laws, mostly those
regarding streets, but where no pran-
ciple is involved. and where. every
thing is conducted good naturally
let all vic and make the OCCASION one
of the most enjoyable ever witness
ed in Alexandria.
An old fable is pertinent. Aesor
was found one day playing with 2
party of boys. A would-be humorist
passed at the time, and turning te
the philosopher he upbraided him
for aEasing himself by engaging IN
juvenile pastimes. Aesop picked VI
an bow and after loos'ing the string
cast It upon the ground. He asked
the man to explain the riddle. The
latter could not, when Aesop said:
MAN is like this bow, if you keep
him to high-strung pitch, you viii
cause his back to bend and remain
in that shape. SO it is with the
how; too, will soon become out of
shape and useless ii hcrt at too high

HEROES OF THE SOUTH

As is the annual custom, thous-

yesterday to witness the exercises

Confederate dead now sleeping at

where those who will keep their

PASSING OF EMPIRES

Peace sett1emztsts are still de-
laysd. The Gdzsls await the re-
ply of the ali4g to their counter
proposals and the Allies wait upon
the response of the Austrians sub
ntitted5;to the Vienna government.
soue changes in the terms are an
ttsifated, but none Of that will al
tfcct the documents as a whole.
Y The Philadelphia Inquirer says
"befcre the dogs Of war were let
loose in 1914 there were two great
Central Powers Germany and Aus
tro-Hungary. Today Germany is a
Republic (at least by name), With
portions of her territory given over
to France and to Pollard, while her
ally is uismenlbered. The Austro-
Zimmerman Empire covered approx
mately 900 square miles. Hun
gary has t.ooped off by herself, Bo-
henlia has become an independent
nation, while great slices have gone
to found the Serbo-Croat- Slovene
State. Of Austria proper, with VI
emma as it's capital, there is left but
a beggarly 1925 square miles.
I "Let us put it in another way.
The empire before the war was the
size of New England, New York,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Della
ware, Virginia, West Virginia, and
a portion of North Carolina. Today
Austria. if dumped into the State OF
New Jersey. would spread over only
about three-quarters Of that Com
mcnwealth.
Austria went to war to enlarge
her holdings in the Balkans at the
expense Of Serbia. Germany went
to war to dominate all Europe and
the world. Both have fallen-mfs-
arably fallen-aud they have drag
yed down with them Turkey, another
empire. In four years empires have
gone to smash and independent gov
arnments have been erected.

Other considerations must deter

servation Of the peace of the world.
Would we be safer with Germany
inside than outside Of the League!
Inside the League it would be IN

ions Of other nations.
Outside Of the League Germany
would be an outlaw, an lsfmaetie

Germany wishes to come into the
League of Nations at the outset. a
considerable amount of British op!n-

the prospect Of keeping Germany

Ladies' Home Journal" says.
1t seems to me that the Herald"
could at least publish a short story
or poem once week by some boy
or girl reader, thereby, arousing
new interest in the paper. Once
more let me say, your story is
splendid. And when IL is finished
may we have another one as good!
Cordially yours,
ORvILLE G. WELLER.
We do not publish the above let
ter because of the pleasing compli-
ment to the editor. We have re-
ceivod a number with like compli-
ments and If the thing keeps up
someone will have to tie a handker
chief around our head. But the
suggestion is so good we pass it on
to our readers. 1t is, and has been
our desire to make our paper a live
local product, made up by our
readers whenever possible. For
this reason we give preference to
contributed articles over the edi-
tors own writing. We should be
glad indeed to consider poems and
stories, or featurz articles by our
readers. But we reserve the right
to "edit" all material sent in and
if considered unfit or not of the
proper kind of matter for pIblica-
ton. We will also reserve the
right to make corrections where
needed. We cannot return manu-
scripts unless accompanied by self
addressed stamped envelope. Prof.
Weller's suggestion is good and we
hope our readers will follow it.
