entertained them with quite an
interesting talk on education and
the various advantages to be de-

up a series of questions which
held the close attention of the
pupils. His lecture was highly
appreciated by the teachers and
the pupils, and also the questions
were enjoyed (by those not called
UPON. Supt. Alleman was cor
daily invited to call often by the
teachers and pupils as his visits
always enthuse them.

progressive merchant, who not
only keeps a close watch over his
store, but keeps an eye in the
public school, where he has
several children in attendance.
Mr.. Breaux is very much in
terested in public education, and
often takes his friends on an in
spection in the different depart
ments of our school. In the
principals room can be seen a
map Of South America drawn
and colored by Master Camille
Breaux, son of S. J. Breaux,
which would be a credit to any
school in the parish. Camille is
only thirteen years old.
The many friends of Placide
Guilbeau are glad to see him out
again, after being confined to
bed for a week.
If your correspondent does
not lose his invitation card he
will attend the Bachelor Maids

tailed account of the whole affair

German Marines Would Serve in
Southwest Africa,

Berlin, Jan. 19-The government sent
to the reichstag this evening a bill author
izing supplementary credit of $4,000
for the current fiscal year for the sup
preston of the uprising of the Hereros
and also for an additional appropriation
OF 1921, 800 in the 1904 budget A memoran-
dunn accompanying the bill explains that
when the full force now privided for
reaches the scene of action it will amount
to 1.150 men. Provision is made for the
purchase of $50 horses, since only cavalry
can operate successfully in the region
and also for the purchase of revolver
canon and machine guns, which have
proved uncommonly effective weapons in
the peculiar topography of the colony.
The plan of action contemplates partic-
ularly the keeping open Of the railroad
between SwakopmAlnd and Windhook. The
governments memorandum further says
there are only 400 men now at thedisposal
of the authorities in the entire northern
part of the province while the Hereros
have a great number more.
German marines have a keen desire for
service in German southwest africa, as
was indicated last evening when the sec
ond division of marines. 1000 strong, was
drawn up at Wilhelmshaven. Volunteers
for service in that colony We're called for,
and every man stepped forward.

DEFECTS IN MACHINERY
No Provision for Election of President
and Vice in Case of Ceath.

Washington. Jan. 19.-Another presiden-
tial election is approaching, and yet no
provision is made 10 correct serious de-
feet in the election machinery. There is
no provision either in the constitution or
in the statutes for filling a vacancy for
president or voce president after the cleo
tors meet and cast their votes up to the
time of the inauguration.
Probably before the votes are counted
by congress the governors might recon-
vene the electors, and another man could
be substituted in case of the death of The
president and vice president elect. But
after the votes have been canvassed and
declared no action is possible.
There has been much discussion as to
what could be done. In case of the death
of the vice president elect there would
be no particular difficulty. the Presi
dent pro tenn of the senate would con-
tinue his duties. But the death of the
President elect would cause a serious d.
lemma. 1t is said that the procedure
