(By Associated Press)
ALEXANDRIA, Va„ May 20—Mark
ing the point from which MaJ. General
Edward Braddock and tiis force ol
British regulars and Viginin troops
with Colonel George Washington at
aide-de-camp, departed rrom here in
April, 1755, on the disastrous expedl
lion to take Fort Duquesne, the pres
ent site of Pittsburgh, Pa., in the wai
against the French and Indians, an in
teresting monument was unveiled here
today by the Society of the Colonial
Dames of Virginia.
Many members of the Society of
Colonial Dames, the Daughters of the
American Revolution and other patri
otic societies from various parts ol
g'.'JSJi-lL.1-I Jl" _Si!5Hi"JlLJl!lil.^J."l5
Virginia, the District of Columbia,
Maryland and Pennsylvania witnessed
! the presentation of the monument to
officials of the city of Alexandra
Many of those present will take to
morrow in the unveiling of a similar
monument at Winchester, Virginia.
One of the old British cannon aban
doned here by General Braddock sur
mounts the monument. For many
years the cannon had stood upright
in the earth at one of the city’s street
corners as a marker and was an object
of interest to sightseers. By an act
of the city council several years ago
the ancient piece of ornance, brought
from Kn gland by General Braddock
when he came out to Virginia its gen
eralissimo of all the British forces in
the American Colonies in the war
against the French, was turned over
to the Mount Vernon Chapter of the
Daughters of the American Revolu
tion. That organization today formal
ly presented it to the Virginia Col
onial Dames under whose auspices the
monument was erected.
Forming the base of the monument
and mounting the old cannon are the
other relics of by-gone days in the
shape of cobblestones which for more
than a century had served the city of
Alexandria as paving in some of its
principal streets and which show the
ruts worn by the artillery and trans
port of the Northern Armies during
the Civil War. The stones are said
by tradition to hnve been laid on
Alexandria's streets by Hessian sol
diers captured in tlie War of the Kevo
lution by the Continental troops.
A bronze tablet on one side of the
base of the monument bears this in
scription :
‘This Monument marks the Trail
taken by the Army of (leneral
Braddock, which left in April,
1755, to defend the Western Fron
tier against tlie French and In
i dians. Erected bv the Society of
the Colonial Dames of Virginia,
May 2fi. 1915."
On the opposite side of the boulder
embedded base this inscription pa
pears on another tablet of bronze.
“The Cannon used here was ab
dondotied by (leneral Braddock at
old Alexandria, April, 1755. The
Cobblestones composing the
mount were taken from the streets
| of Alexandria where they were
placed in 1785 by act of the Vir
ginia House of Burgessess."
(leneral Braddock's exposition,
plans of which he related to Benjamin
Franklin in a conference at Frederic
town was to march to Fort Duquesne.
“After taking Fort Duquesne,” the
(leneral is quoted as saying, “I am to
proceed to Niagara; and, having taken
that, to Frontenac if the season will
allow time, and I suppose It will, for
Duquesne can hardly detain me above
I three or four days; and then I can
see nothing to obtruct my march to
; Nlgara.”
In the battle at Port Duquesne, July
; 9, 1755, (leneral Braddock was wor
tally wounded. Colonel George Wash
ington was the only member of h1s
staff to escape unhurt. The British
and Colonials lost 977 officers and
men killed or wounded out of 1,459
engaged, while the French loss was
trifling, and only the genius of Wash
ington saved the survlors from inaa
sacrace.
General Braddock died July 15, 1755,
at Great Mefftws, about GO miles from
Duquesne, to which place the remains
of his army retreated. He was burled
at a poInt'Tiow seven miles east of
Uniontown, Pennsylvania.
NEW PflYSTREflK IN
THE NOME DISTRICT
The Nome Industrial Worker says
there is no question about the import
nnce and extent of the discovery of
a new paystreak on Dexter, first lo
cated by Jack Ohrem and partners on
the Kathleen at about 42 feet from
thesurface, in what appears to be an
old channel running on false bedrock.
The pay runs into the lower half of
No. 13 anil the upper half of 12. as
'well as In the Oopher and other
IrlaimR. "This Is probably the best
i trike that has been made In several
years.” says the Worker, and will
lead to the opening it;' of a large ex
tent of ground which hitherto h been
untouched. The nntire country is
l)i mg overhauled by s'akcrs and pros
pectors.”
It is pointed out that this strike
I will encourage prospectors to pan all
^ the way down. It has been the cus
, tom with many, and many old-time
prospectors at that, to sink right
through to bedrock without panning,
and in this way it is possible that
many high r paystreaks have been ov
1 erleoked. This view was remarked
by an old-timer who has watched min
ing in the district for many years.

LONDON, May 2(5- At a caucus of the Union
ist members of the House of Commons, the lenders
of the Conservative party made speeches advocat
ing compulsory enlistment throughout the empire.
The sentiment of the members present seemed to be
wholly in favor of some form of compulsory military
service. A letter from Premier Asquith was read at
the meeting asking tin* Unionist members of parlia
ment to give tlie government tlieir full co-oper
ation during the present crisis, and declaring that in
the prosecution of the war party lines should be
forgotten, and Kngland should be the paramount
issue, and’ the safety of the nation placed above all
other considerations.

LONDON-, May 20—General Mackenson's great
onslaught on the Russian line north of F’rzemysl
and around Jaroslav indicates that the Austro-Oer
man olTensive in Central Galicia has not been ex-J
[inustod. The military observers here do not be
lieve the Russian array is well enough equipped to
properly defend their positions, and a pessimistic
tone runs through theft" comments on the situation,
!is if they were trying to prepare the public for the
loss of Przemysl, which the Russians occupied six
months in taking.
I'ETROGRAD, May 26—Although German ac
tivity in Central Galicia continues unabated on both
sides of the river San, the Russian general staff be
lieves that they have the situation well in hand, and
that the city of Przemysl is not in dam* r. The
fiercest fighting is being carried on along the river
between Jaroslav and’ Przemysl. It is now thought
that the German check was caused because they
ran out of ammunition, and were forced to await for
new supplies. The battle is raging fiercely, and the
decision cannot be long delayed.
