Paris.-Germany formally notified
the reparation commission that all
reparation deliveries in kind would
cease because Of the great expense in

lightened to "avold q complete break
down Of the German economic and H.

This land is owned by Charles
A. MacHenry, of Oakley Farm
and Fredericksburg, who has
given the State complete author
ity in regard to this. tract so far
as game is concerned. Even the
owner has no right to hunt on the
land during that period. The land
has been carefully posted and
game wardens- have been directed
to give it special attention. A
fine of 500 may be imposed if
any person kills any bird or AMI
NAL within the limits of the pre-
serve.
The purpose of the State game
sanctuary is to supply haven or
refuge to which game ard wild
birds of all kinds can retreat and
be at rest at all times. In this
way game will be increased in Sc
cure and absolute protection and
will overflow in surrounding ter
ritory, where it may be taken IN
lawful manner, thus being a bene-
fit to all sportsmen.

Bristol Investors Lose

Reader Lauds Gallantry
Of Man In Coasting
IConiDi,t1licafgd)
sditor !Alexandfia Gazette.

Editor Alexandra Gazette,
Dear Editor:
| noticed in The GAZETTE the
number of coasting accidents that
had occurred during the recent
snow. Well would like, to
tell s.the citizens of Alexandria
that they are comparatively small
and think there would have been
a lot more had it not been FOR the
gallantry of some of our young
men.
Here is one case which 1 wit
messed myself:
A girl about fourteen years OF
age was pushing another girl OF
about the same age on a sled
down King street hill and did not
observe thu "Aleyandlta Bge
Bus" which was coming up the
hill, until they were only few
feet away, and then, the girl fur
nishing the motive power became
excited on seeing the bus and
pushed the sled with increasing
speed toward it and screaming
ran to the sidewalk. But owing
to the presence of mind OF a
young man by the name OF Pat
rick G. c.. won't give his
full name because perhaps he is
a bit modest, who grasped the
situation Immediately and dashed
into the path of the oncomIng bus
which was less than five feet
away. and with much danger to
himself on the icy hin. pulled the
sled and Its occupant, who would
have most likely beer killed, to
the pavement.
After the rescue, the sixteen
year old hero was so bashful that
he sought another nil on which
to coast when he was both COM
plimented and chided by friends.
From ono who would like to
see everyone always duly reward
ed.

The Alexandria Hospitafds what
its name implies, an institution for
Alexandrians, Irrespective of Greco
nationality or race. During the
past year there have been times
when patients taxed the hospitals
capacity to its utmost but every
attention has been given the pa
ltients there and a faithful and
! efficient nursing force rendered
willing service. In emergency
cases nurses go without rest or
leisure hours, staying on duty
forty-eight hours when the occas
ion demands it. Probably no other
city has "a corps, of physicians; and
nurses who give time and service
with so little thought for self but
only for the good of the institu-
ton.
The work of The Hospital is
steadily increasing. During the
past year nearly $50 emergency
cases alone were handled: these IN

work.

that meeting was desired, any

The Athens government will .:un-

assurances Of allied support.
Such defensive measures will be
taken as the situation calls for
in case Of Turkish aggression.
!. The State Department aistill
Imaintains that 9the Tarkish Or
tderse for removal of ,Hflied war
ships from Smyrna harhor does
not apply to American vessels
and that therefore there was no
cause for an American protest
against the order. Inasmuch as
this government never declared
war on Turkey, the United. States
is lin an entirely different Phsi-
ton with the Turks than Allied
governments, it was declared,
and there is no reason why Amor
lean ships should leave the har~
Dor.
1t u, has b4M confirmed %hat
't6th the Edsall and King, Amer
lean destroyers, are in or near
Smyrna harbor, the King having
left Constantinople on February
Z. There are about 20 American
war vessels in Mediterranean wa
tiers, the Navy Department said,
all under The command Of Vice
Admiral Long.
The NAVY Department has no
reports that Smyrna harbor
might be, mined, but even iflthe
hsrbor is; mined, it is declared
at the Department, 1T lis she

10 pilot American vessels TO safe

Germ whatever is felt over the
safety of the American ships.
As a matter of fact, high naval
officials here do not believe the
harbor is mined and that if warn
ing to that effect has been given,
the warning has been in the ma
ture of bluff by the Turks.
Ever since the occupation of
Smyrna By the Turks vessels of
various nationalities have been
in the harbor, it is declared and
tie Tlrl.,l could have hardly
mined the harbor without the
knowledge of the ships there.
