Official reports from both Paris and London indicate successful movements at least for the time being, by the allied armies against the Germans. London reports that the British have pushed the opposing forces back 10 miles and that the allies are gaining ground on the line of the Ourcq and Petit Morin rivers.
 Wounded soldiers who have reached Paris tell of the severity of the fight ing in the Champagne country and re- port heavy losses.
 With hundreds of thousands of men engaged on both sides, the battle now in full swing to the east of Paris promises to be the most important of the campaign up to the present.
 In reply to a request by the Ger mans for an armistice of "A hours to bury the dead and care for the wound ed, the French authorities are report ed to have sent this message; We grant you that time to get out of France"

AGAIN DRAINAGE.

Once more we are shown by the all-wise
Creator that st. Landry is in dire need of a
drainage district. The farmers would have
no cause Of alarm if this parish had a per-
feet drainage system which would carry
away the surplus water, as soon as it would
fall on the ground.
There's no argument against drainage.
We need it and the sooner we vote a tax for
the construction of a substantial drainage
system, the quicker st. Landry will prosper.
Again the farmers of St. Landry will
lose more money in one month than it would
cost for the dredging Of the principal bayous
in the parish, simply on account of no drain
age at all. Bad drainage is the heaviest tax
ever saddled on the citizens of ST.. Landry
and when the day comes that tax payers
one and all have realized this fact, then it
will be that we have the real Garden of

PESSIMIsTIc

The farmers Of st. Landry, although
hard hit for the last seven years, are no
disposed to join the horde of calamity
howlers from other sections of the state. 1t
is true that the crop will not be as at first
anticipated, but here in the Garden of Eden
the best agricultural section Of Louisiana,
the tillers-of- the-soil are always confident of
making a very good living.
Although three WIS been the cause of a
great deal of worry all over the state, the
farmers of st. Landry are not alarmed at
the war, the weevils and the weather.
Optimism prevails here, when pessi-
mists are their best in other sections andSt.
Landry is by far not the worse place in Lou
isiana for being optimistic, either.

KING OF THEM ALL.

That distinguished statesman, known in
Louisiana for many years as the champion
rough rider Of the nation and professional
'bear hunter" but better known, now, the
friend and father of the Moose, since that
animal is the only one willing to offer him
shelter, has once more given the nation an
example of his eternal political unrest and
insincerity.
Theodore Roosevelt, the man whose am
bition and political greed is greater than his
supposedly professed love of the nation. the
betrayer of a poor defenseless Republican
leader, known in by-gone days as President
William Taft, but now simple Professor
Taft, after assumingly betraying the very
party he discovered and fostered into exis-
tence at the famous Chicago convention, two
years ago, has come back, like the prodigal
son, into the field of the unshamed and
eternal political 1oppers.
After endorsing Harry D.. Human, a
republican, as the Bull Moose choice, for the
g~overnorship of New York state, and after
realizing that his very own political shaved
had discovered his rankest folly, Colonel
Roosevelt Immediately denounced Human.
announcing that he would support a straight
Bull Moose ticket.
That sincere statesman, that brave war
rior, that underfled politician, whom the
Republicans of the United States, has hon
ored SO ~highly-even higher thar he deserv-
ed-has once more given an ideal example
to his hypocritical followers the nation over,
but particularly to those III the Third Iii Dis

Evidently the head and founder of the
Progressive party is himself the king Of
political foppers and hypocrits in the Union.

INTERSTATE

The need of interstate highways is daily
becoming more apparent and within The
next few years we will see this country GU
up with interstate model roads. There is ne
reason why Louisiana should not have 8
model road from New Orleans to the Texas
border, as the construction of a road of this
kind would not cost such a stupendous sun
and be of great benefit not only to the Peli-
can state, but also to the Lone Star state.
It the people of Opelousas and st. Landry
would cooperate with other parishes there
is no reason to doubt that Opelousas would
be connected with Beaumont and other Tex
as cities with a model highway.
When we will see a road from New Or
leans to the Texas border completed than we
will be able to judge the real value of good
roads; when the people Of these two great
states will be placed in closer relation with
one another. That day is not far distant
and the sooner it comes the better it will be
for the entire population of Southwest Lou
With the erection of a road from Opel
ousaS to Baton Rouge, which can easily be
done by building a road from Port Barre to
Krotz Springs, where the Point Coupee police
Jurors are erecting a road leading from the
Atchafalaya to the Mississippi River, oppo-
site Baton Rouge, Opelousas would have
easy access to New Orleans by land.
Let US put our hands in the pie and see
if we can't derive something worth the while
from our abundant resources. No state
feels the need of good roads more than Lou
and when this state will have a modern
system of roads it will be only a question Of
weeks before desirable immigrants from
Northern Western states will begin pouring

WILSON'S WISDOM.

Even the Hearts newspaper syndicate
has taken off it's hat to Woodrow Wilson, or
account of his much talked of and discussed
"watchful waiting" policy. The sudden
outburst in Europe, which plunged every
great nation, with the exception Of the
United States into a bloody war, has brought
about an appreciable change in the sentiment
of a few persons controlled by certain
lingo" newspaper and statesman.
Woodrow Wilson has been pronounced
the Wisest of all living rulers; unlike the
German Kaiser, despite clamor for bloodshed
from a certain clique of psuedo politicians,
who were enimical to his views, President
Wilson refused to sacrifice lives of good,
true and loyal sons of America for the pur-
pose of an attempted settlement of the
Mexican revolution.
Mr.. Wilson, in his great wisdom must
have foreseen the future; he had confidence
in the Constitutionalists and believed that
with the elimination of Huerta from Mexi-
can politics peace would be restored.
To-day peace seems to prevail in the
wild and unsettled regions of the rebellious
Mexicans. Unless Caranza greatly disap-
points the American people revolutions in
Mexico will no longer be the fad.
The favorable settlement of Mexican
affairs and another plume in our distinguish
ed presidents cap; even his bitterest politi-
cal enemies are now p~roclaiming his great
ness, though this may be done very reluc-
family.
Wilson is wise, the American people are
daily becoming aware that it has been many
years since such a great man occupied the
chair of the president of the United States.

carriers of disease. such as Charlton and
hog cholera. Our scientists tells us that
the sooner Louisiana does away with the
carrion crow, the quicker this state will
be recognized as a cattle state.
For the first time in many years a con-
gressional election passed off in Opelousas
passed off as quietly as though there was
nothing unusual going on. Last Thursday
the majority Of the voters of Opelousas
awaited themselves of their right by casting
their ballot for their choice of representa-
tive and railroad commissioner. Everything
went on smoothly and it would have been a
difficult matter for strangers to realize that
an election was taking place in one Of the
political hotbeds in Louisiana.
Let us follow the advice of our city
health officer by cleaning our premises. A
clean town is bound to attrack the attention
Of prospective settlers and let it be said
right now that Opelousas is on the lookout
at present for more thrifty and progressive
citizens.
It is stated on reliable authority that
the declaration of war on Germany by Japan
will have no appreciable effect on the Amer
lean supply of Bologna sausage, pretzels and
lager beer. So those of you who have been
industriously cultivating that distinctly
German taste need have no cause for
alarm Tnh nahihh1nf
Despite the fact that the wheat growers
ARE preparing to market several million
bushels more than the demand prices on
-four are still soaring and will no doubt be
beyond the reach Of the average person.
On account of elections prevailing in
nearly ever parish in the state on Thursday
the Schell good roads bill was not tested in
its real capacity. We hope that next year
our citizens will give US an opportunity to
allow US to show them what we mere editors
really know about good roads. To our sor-
row st. Landry is not to be found in those
parishes whose roads were worked by en-
thusiastic citizens, on the first Louisiana
Good Roads Day. which was celebrated on
last Thursday.
Those big f~at-footed Germans are show
ing their colors these days. It appears as
though England and France are getting
sorry that they ever mixed up in this ARRAY.
After p~roclaiming that the valor and strength
of their army would place their nations at
the head OF the warning countries it is now
apparent that they will have to turn to slow
Russia for relief. Unless Russia captures
Berlin our cousins, the French, are no doubt
doomed.
War is hell, sure enough, but prefer
seeing our brothers across the big pond, in
this hell, then ourselves, although, if it were
in our power we would put a stop to this
barbarism in double-quick time. No doubt
if Wilson had the opportunity nine nations
wouldn't be fighting for the supremacy Of
Europe.

TOLD YOU SO.

1t is the meanest fellow in the world

but we can not refrain from reminding some
of our friends of our editorial expressions
in reference to BobBroussard when he asked
to be elevated to the highest position in the
gift of the people, a seatin the United States
Senate. We said then that he was at heart
a Republican and had no love for the Demo-
cratic party, but only used it to get back to
Washington continuously. His action in re-
fusing to come to the rescue Of his party in
his own congressional district, where he has
been favored for years. is not only treachery
but it is downright perfidy, and about the
meanest brand of base ingratitude Democra.

demned by the. Daily States. the organ of
the city ring that is absolutely responsible
for his election to the senate. The Times
contended during the senatorial campaign
that Broussard was a Republican at heart,
and his refusal to go to the assistance of the
Democrats in his home district. stamps our

sincerely hope the city crowd who threw

Torpedo Boats

4 TORPEDO boat is an extremely
~ fatal disease which RACES among
battleships.
\ battleship may be two blocks long
and have a tougher hide than ward
politician It may carry guns which
shoot projectiles as large as oil barrels,
ana IL may carry IS inches OF armor
on Its turrets. But when II meets
torpedo boat in a dark alley on the seas
II Is IN as much danger as the goat
which ate the dynamite cartridges The
chances aret hat il will change from
$lO.OOOOOO battleship 10 $500 worth Of
junk, complicated with obituaries, in
less than five minutes.
Ihe torpedo boat is small and has
sides like a paper shell pecan One
could shoot holes through II with
duck gum and when battleship turns
loose on II the remains look like an
overgrown collander. But this does
not do the battleship any good, because
the torpedo boat has Just spat tor
pedo at il. A torpedo contains enough
suncotton to wreck pyramid or blast
hint into the head Of a New Haven
railroad director. When = torpedo eX-
plodes under a battleship the latter
tries to sail without a bottom for about
two minutes and then gives II up as
a bad job.
Torpedo boats are not made to defend
themselves, but 10 go to places in
hurry and run away with equal enthu-
siasm. A torpedo boat travels 40 miles
an hour and is stuffed so full Of en-
gines that the crew have TO sleep on
the pantry shelves and the cylinder
heads. Cruising around in a slim,
young torpedo boat with a great desire
to turn over in a storm is not as COM
Portable as automobile racing or riding
