KRUPP WORKS HAVE, BEEN DEMOBiLIZED
 ON A PEACE BASIS

LONDON, April 23 - The Krupp Gun Works at Essen, Germany, have been "demobilized to peace strength The war time strength was 112,000 of whom 30,000 were women. The present complement is 42000, the same as in August, 1914. During 52 months of war the Krupps produced
 10000 cannon of all calibres, an average of one cannon an hour and he shell output that at the end of the war was at the rate of 2,500,00 month, or nearly 5000 an hour. Workers labored 10 hours a day be- fore the war but only per cent. of the Krupps manufactures was war material, the balance being rails, wheels and peaceful products. r
 This great company paid dividends of seven per cent in 1912, ten per cent in 1913, IA per cent in 1914, 12 per cent. in the war period and now the dividends are nothing. The factory is now at work on repairs to German cannon about to be sur rendered to the Allies. The supply of raw material remaining is suf
 ficient only for three weeks work for the smelters. A proposition has been made to the Allies that in re- turn for enough raw materials to permit the factories to work on full time the output shall be divided in- to three parts, the first two going to France and Belgium to help re- construction. and the third going to meet Germany's internal needs.

1t would be a serious blunder for
the Republicans in Congress to at

t;rely right and proper that every
department of the Governments
work should be thoroughly investiga-

or not the country was robbed, and

TERMS TO AUSTRIA

The ACKNOWLEDGMENT of Austria
Hungary was not accomplished at
Paris. 1t was accomplished at
Prague, Budapest, and Belgrade.
The Chicago Tribune in this connec-
tion says "there is something dra-
matte, nevertheless, in the delivery
to the Austrian delegates to the
peace conference Of the formidable
document which lays upon the pa
thotic residue: Of once proud en-
pire the terms of its new existence.
An ancient and puissant dynasty has
passed away. The people from
which it sprang is now hardly more
numerous than the people of Illinois.
They are hedged in by new nations
which have had little reason to love
them. They are shut ST from the

to ally themselves with ter cousins

Germany, they must reS.gr them
selves to q very minor place among

A TIMELY SUGGESTION

A correspondent of a paper OF a
nieghboring city says 'there is no
doubt that thousands in every city
never brighten the church with
their presence but who read news
papers, and who would listen to
their pulpits. Let me say, in brief,
that in my humble judgment, if you
would give your readers, say, just
once each week an editorial treat
ing of some of the thousand and one
problems which vex human life, you
would reach many mems hearts and
in all human probability minister. to
minds diseased, drying many tears,
'banishing many years, making hfe's
horizon brighter with the science OF
good cheer"
The suggestion of the writer IS IN
order. While there is but little ex-
cuse for the many who never dark
en- church doors, the fact remains
that thousand live and die who
never enter a house of worship save
at marriages or funerals. The great
mass of such, however, read news
papers. and should they run upon an
article Of a spiritual nature they are
likely to read it. while they might be
averse to listening to a discourse
from pulpit half an hour or forty
minutes. There is no telling what
good could be accomplished by a
newspaper article of spiritual
trcrd which might be read III two or
three minutes. 1t is we!l-knoWn
fact that a cartoon is far more pow
t1dul than speeches or books. II
the matter is made sufficiently PLAIN
to be g1asped in an instant, the les
son intended is taught and in mos
cases remembered. The same may
be said of brief editorial of a
spiritual nature.
Some Of the larger daily papers
contain the international Sunday
school lesson with practical COM
ments upon the same. These are
read By most patrons.
The Gazette at one time printed
such articles on Saturdays. Of late,
however, advertising space has been
needed, and but little can be spared
for editorials at present. We hope,
however, soon to be able to print
articles occasionally bearing upon
subjects suggested above.

WORK OF SANITATION

Doctor r. ?. Sandidge ana his as
sistants have for months been
making close investigations of the
sanitary conGition of the city, and
they are doing every thing possible
to place Alexandria in as healthy
state as possible. The hot weather
is now upon us, and it is incumbent
upon every citizen to vie with Those
officers by obliterating everything in
the way of nuisances as we'll as un-
slightly accommodations.
A few cases of typhoid fever have
been reported, but this malady which
caused general alarm last summer is
net so much in evidence this year.
But this fact Should make it import
art TO all to resort to every means
to nsirimze what in past yeats have
proven to be an epidemic.
Defective drainage is menace to

persons owning property ON streets

feet four years ago. While many
persons have complied with the ordl-

that there are several hundred de-

will be some time, Of course, before
American cemeteries may have the
strawberries and trees which are
usually found in older cemeteries. In
all our burial places the crosses will
have to be Strengthened from time
