PREDICTS EARLY PEACE
Lloyd George Says People Must be
Patient Pending Final Settle
ment.
Paris, April 7,?"Let public opinion
wait another fortnight, we are nearing
the end," Lloyd George is quoted as
saying in an interview with a repre
sentative of Le Matin.
"Agreement will not be bng in com
ing on all questions concerning Ger
many," continues the British premiei
"The peace preliminaries will be ready
by Ea-rter."
"But why," asked the interviewer,
''should net amount of the war bill
whatever it may -be, be submitted t<
Germany before anything else, an:
why should she not be compelled tc
leccgnize her debt?"
"Who says we have net decided
that?" was Lloyd George's reply.
"Can't peopls judge our work instead
of seeking always to judge our inten
tions? This conference has had tc
meet awl discus's matters under con
dition's without precedent in history.
All eyes are turned towaril it nnC
what o's .more ^ericus still, all ears
are listening at the dcor. The ene
my's ears tangle with joy when they
think they observe some hesitation
while the ears of cur friends who hear
only confused rum'ors, interpret then
badly.
"Let public opinion .wait a few morr
days and it will then be able to fonr
an opinion ntot on rumors but o:
facts."

paratively short time their empby

London, April 7.--The aeroplane
of the future may be a hu-xe an '

Dr. G. H. Rodman points out that
flies experience no difficulty in if

in his trtpinicn 'it is because thei:

chance to state their position.
The chamber has provided for thi.
meeting well known speakers, mer.
experienced in municipal affairs am
government. Among those assure?'
?as a speaker on. this occasion will b-.
Leroy Hodges, a Virginia lawyer,
and expert on municipal efficiency
Mr. Hodges, for the la.-t eight years
has given his time to the study o:
municipal and state government-*
and for several years was director o'
the Bureau of Applied Economic?
with headquarters in Washington, D
C. Prior to the late war Mr. Hodge:
was sent abroad by the National Mu
r.icipal League, to study city gov
ernmert in England. France, an;
Germany
Mr. Hodges served as director c
ihe Bureau of Municipal Research ii
Petersburg, Virginia, which Bureai
was instrumental in the c.'ty of Pet
ersburg adopting the city manage
form of government Irst year. Mi
Hedges was also cne of the leader
?in the educational campaign of Nor
folk, Virginia, last year, resulting r
their adopting the city manager forr

Governor of Virginia and a memhc
of his staff.

Had Vastly Different Perspec
tive Back in 191*1.
?Mathias Erzberger, chairman of
the German Armistice Commission
2nd a member of fhe German Gov
ernment. was accused of being the
author of a document written in
1914, showing that Germany's peace
terms, if she won, would include
targe annexations and indemnities,
Herr Landauer, representative of
the Munich Soldiers1 and Workmen's
Council, declared in. a speech at
Augsburg, Bavaria, accoi'ding to a
dispatch to the Frankford Zeitung.
Landauer, who was speaking at a
meeting in memory of Kurt Eisner,
the lato Bavarian Premier, said he
had a copy of the document.
Landauer at first refused to give
the name of the uthor, except that
he was still a member of the Gov
ommnt. Finally, however, he said
that tjie person to whom he alluded
was Herr Erzberger.
Among the peace tei*ms mentioned
in the document, Landuer said,
were:
Annexation of Belgium, French Nor
mandy and several towns on the
southeastern coast of England.
Annexation of the territories on
the eastern fror.ties of Germany,
which have since become separate
States.
Establishment of a large Germn
colonial empire.
Payment of a war indemnity cal
culated to cover Germany's expenses
curing the first 10 months of the
war, as well as the entire German
debt before the war.
Herr Landauer sserted that these
P ...
terms were approved in principle by
General von Falkenhayn. General
von 'Mo'tke and Admiral von Tirpitz.

State Board of Charities and
Corrections Makese Favor
able Report
CITY FORM ALL RIGHT
Inmates Apparently Contented?Has
Capacity for Thirty-Five?Present
Number Eighteen.
Mayor Thomas A. Fisher has re
ceived from the State Board of
Charities and Corrections a report of
officials who recently inspected the
jail and almshouse in this city. Apart
from a recommendation that the jail
should have electric lights., that in
stitution was found in a satisfactory
condition.
The report on conditions at the
alms house was equally encouragimr.
It shows that this institution has a
capacity for 35 inmates, while the
number of those now being1 enter
tained is IS. Five are white males
and one colored. Four white fe
males and six negro females are in
mates. Four white men and three
white fomaies are able to work. Two
of the colored women are prisoners.
The sanitary condition was pre
r.ounecd jjcod. The water supply
comes frcm the city hydrants. Re
ligious services are held every Sun
day by delegations from the various
churches. 'Xew floors have recently
been laid in three lower rooms and
hall. The house is comfortably
heated by stoves, burning both wood
and coal. The report states that the
general impressions of the house,
farm, inmates and attendants are
good. The land seems to be fail".
They raise most of their vegetables
and part of their meat. All seem
contented and comfortable. The in
spcctors state that Mrs. Sherwood
seems capable and motherly. The
rooms of the inmates are clean, and
the cots have good furnishings, and
all things seem neat and clean.
Joshua R. Sherwood is the present
superintndent, and Doctor W. A.
Warfield the medical attendant.
The above will be read with pleas
ure by all citizens. There have been
times when our city alms house was
a subject of criticism. Such com
plaints, however, when investigated,
wore generally found to be ground
less. The report of the State Board
r. f Charities and Co re? t ions shows
that our alms and work house are
all that should be expected.
NOT TO CALL ASSEMBLY
Governor Believes Road Problem May
be Handled Without Extra
Meeting.
The General Assembly will not be
called in extra session this year to
match Federal appropriatons for
roads in Virgin a, if there is any pos
sible way of saving this cost, accord
ing to a statement given out Sat
urday at the office of Gov. West
moreland Davis.
Much influence has been brought
to bear upon the chief executive, es
pecially by the Virginia Good Roads
Association, whose executive com
mittee passed an urgent resolution
on the subject, to convene the Leg
islature at an early date. The Gov
ernor, however, has made it plain
that he wants to get around this
exigency, if possible, and is opposed
to increasing the tax burden unless
the State is ready and fully prepared
actively to launch at this time upon
an extended road building program.
For the purpose of advising in the
adoption of a good roads program
for the State, the Governor yesterday
rnnouneed the appointments of the
Governor's advisory board on road
consti"ucticn, an organization com
posed of well known constructor;
and engineers, and headed by Harry
Frazier, of Richmond.

PASSOVER
__
Jewish Feast Falls on Tuesday, April
The 15th
The celebraticn cf the Jewish feasl
of the Pasrscver begins on the even
ing of April 14th with sundown. The
manner of its observance was dor
termined largely by the biblical or
dinance- concerning this feast. It i j
to be observed for a period of sever
days. Those who .herish customs thai
originated ailter Bible times will keep
the feast eight days.
The ceremonials are such as art;
calculated tc bring home the hi-tori:
cal event which the feast comniomo
rates, namely the new bom freedor.;
vouchsafed to Israel after the bni ?
period of oppression endured ur.d? i
Egyptian tyranny. The eating of un ;
leavened bread is enjoined a number
cf. times in the bibical regulations;
touching the observance of the Pass-:
over feast. Unleavened bread i ;
characterized as the "bread c'f afflic -
tion," and is also rc-ferred to in thr'
Bible as the bread that was unleaven j
ed because of the enforced hasty de-'j
parture from Egypt. In post-biblica'ij
times the earnest desire to keep th< ?
injunctions mo-it scrupulously let",'
the teachers of Israel to enact laws :
such as th euse of special dishes tha.'.
had been guarded from contract witl ?
leaven ar.d reserved only for the Pass
over -eas<n.
A charming and effective feature i:
che celebration of the feast is the spec
ial Sed'ar service around the fes:iv<
family board on the first evening of
fhe feast, to which the Orthodox add :
second evening. At this family servic
a special ritual known as the "'Hagga
i';.h" is read. This ritual contains th?
story of the redemption from servi
bude. erfcain reflections inspired h;
the memories cif old and certai;
psalms. This is followed by the fesita
meal after which Grace is recited

i:*t of additional psalm, the recita
tion ?f prayers and the singing o
tur.'-i honored hymns. To this honn
service stranger and homeless ar
cordially invited. On the table in fron!
