b GERMAN SUBMARINES
SINK 8 BRITISH SHIPS.
LOSS OF LIFE OVER 1900.

Fighting on land has given
way for the moHent as a news
factor to the daring raid in the
North Sea by five, Germans sub
marines which tGrpedoes and
sunk three British armo1ed crui-
sers-the Aboukir,. the Cressy
and the Hogue-and in turn lost
two of their own namber under
fire Of the British gums.
In it's daring, as reported by
the British admiralty, the attack
Of the little plungers surpassed
any naval maneuver Of the pres
ent war. OF the aggregate nor
NAL personnel Of 1865 men car
ried by the cruisers, it is esti-
mated that only 700 were saved.
Along the battle line in
France, reports Indicate that
while the fighting is progressing,
no great gains have been. made
by either side and that Crucial
period is still to come.
The Russians are reported to
have taken the fortified town of
Jaroslau, on the San river, north
west of Przmysl, from the Aus
trians, and a Rome dispatch
credits the Montenegrins and
Servians with having captured
from the Austrians, Sara lsv@,
capital Of Bosnia.
In Africa the British repulsed
a German attack in their eastMm
territory, the Germans retreat ting
with losses. Gen. Louis Botha,.

It is reported that the French.

cotton idea prevalent in 80 many
other parts of the South There
has been considerable diversified
ton in it's crops, large quantities
Of food products raised. so tina,
it is suffering less from the effects
of the European war than any Od
it's neighbors. The demand for
sugar and rice abroad will make
these industries profitable and
continue them for probably sew
eral years. The growing Of cat
tie will help along materially ;
indeed, in the present condition
of the world, with the marked
shortage Of food supplies, any
thing in that line holds cut every
encouragement. Louisiana could
not make a better venture just
now than that proposed in. the
direction of cattle raising.
One Of the conditions Of the. es-
Enlistment of this Iberia farm
is that the parish wall eradicate
the cattle tick. 1t would not do
for the government to bring fine
animals here and attempt to
raise them in the face of this ma
lady, whose very presence re-
duces the price of each animal
seven or eight dollars a head.
We are glad to say that pubic
sentiment in the agricultural dis
tricts Of Louisiana is now thor.
oughly in line with the campaign
being conducted by the Federal
authorities for the eradication OF
the tick. There was unquestion-
ably some opposition at first IN
Louisiana, Mississippi and other
neighboling States to the protec-
tive measures adopted. That it
was possible to get rid Of the tick
was shown in Madison parish
some time ago. From Wash
ingtOn comes the news that
Tensas is now also free and added
to the 1000 square miles Of South
ern territory rescued from this
pest. The policy jury Of Tensas
began it's campaign in April with
an appropriation Of 5000. In
five months the disease has been
completely banished, the quaran-
tine has been lifted and the par
ish is now as good a cattle coun-
try as any part Of the Union.
Other parishes can do as we'll,
and when they succeed Louisiana
will have added another to its
,od products. which hold out to-
day and probably for years to
come the greatest promise. Ii
this State can furnish a consid-
cradle portion Of the beef, rice,
corn, sugar, fruit, truck, the
country needs, in addition to cot
ton and other staple products, its
farmers have bright promise to
look forward to.-Times-Pica-

awaiting the contingency Of a sud
den seizure of the capital by Zapata
Fears for the safety of life from the
"scourge Of Mexico" have replaced un.
easiness as to security of mere prop
erty In administration circles.
The question now troubling official
Washington is whether Zepata will not
attempt to Offset Villas triumph in
the north by assaulting the capital at
once.
Huerta May Sell Out to zapata.
Villa can move on Mexico City only
by campaign against Torreon, San
Luis Potosi and other cities on the
way. Carran2a is far to the westward.
No constitutionalist leaders in the
east can cope with Zapatas bandit
force. One terrible possibility. as view.
ed here, is that Huerta himself may
sell out OF Zapata. before fleeing the
country.
Should Zapata once penetrate the
city, American and foreign residents
alike could expect no more mercy from
him than would villa at Huerta's
hands. Women and children would
suffer with the men under arms. 1t is
to prevent this horror that the Amer
lean force now off Vera Cruz is wait
ing orders to go ashore.

Villa to Lead 10000 Men South.
Preside, Tex, Jan, 13.--Believing
that the retreat of the federal army
from Ojinaga. Mexico. had completely
crushed the Huerta government in the
north of Mexico, Gen. Francisco villa
said he would begin today to move his
army to Chihuahua preparatory to his
campaign southwark to Mexico City.
Since all the federals who were in
! Oiinaga have fled to the United States.
Gen. Villa said he would leave only
few soldiers on the border near here
At Chihuahua he expects to have a
force of 10000 men from which to
draw In attacks on Zacatecas, Aguas
Calientes and Guadalajara.
The defeat of the northern division
OF the federal army leaves us concern
ed only with the SOUTH said General
Villa. The few remaining federal
garrisons In the west and east coasts
will be driven out by the rebel forces
now surrounding them. Mexico City
has always been my destination"
Mayor McNamee received orders
