TO COMBAT MILITARisM.
Louisianians Invited to Join Branch
of American League.

Baton Rouge, La, Nov. II, 1915.
Editor Chief:
Louisiana is to have branch of
the American League to Limit Arm
aments, which has its Headquarters
at 43 Cedar street, New York City.
The League is organized to combat
militarism and the spread of the
rnilitaristic spirit in the United States:
At the present time with tie world
groaning under the iron rule of the
nnilitarists of Europe and those who
would follow their example, the
League feels that the United States
should be protected from the spread
of this passion for military develop
pant, and that the approaching ses-
sion of congress should find@other
forces than those of the armaments
before the committees of that body.
The League would point out the
dangers Of calling in for our protee-
ton the very forces which are de-
stroying Europe before our eyes.
Germany's standing army, more
than seven times as large as rs,costs
only twice as much; and for our navy
we spend much more than Germany
The League therefore maintains that
it is the duty of the United States not
to appropriate more money, but to
see that what is appropriated already
is spent efficiently.
The League exists to avert panic
and promote sanity 1t stands for
reasonable and effective use OF the
public funds for effective defense. 1t
asks that for every dollar spent on
coast defenses and battleships, ae
least as much be spent in constructive
work to improve international re
lations. The League is opposed to
the militaristic program now urged
upon us. which calls for immensely
increased army and navy, govern
ment-paid militia, military training IN
school and college, and even conf
pulsory military service. THESE are
dangerous experiments to try.
Diplomatic successes such as have
crowned the recent efforts OF our
without "rattlir@ the
sabre" raise fundamental ques-
ton as to the usefulness Of arina-
ment.
ANY person i'm Louisiana in SYM
pathy with the purposes Of the League
will be eligible for membership, and
names and addresses can be sent TO
Very truly yours,
Baton Rouge. La.

L. S. u. SHORT COURSE.
Annual Lectures and Demonstrations
to Be Given Febsr to II.

Announcement is made by the Lou
isiana State University that Feb. to
II, 1916, inclusive, has been selected
as the period for the annual course of
lectures and demonstrations given by
the faculty of the University and es-
pecially invited lecturers and lnstrue-
tors from this and other states, and
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture or other branches of the fed
eral- service These lectures and DEM
onstrations deal exclusively with prac-
tical problems. They are attended by
farmers Of all ages and degrees of
experience. In past years some of
the men engaged in the largest agrl-
cultural enterprises of the state have
attended these lectures throughout
and expressed their extreme gratli-
cation at what they have bees able
to learn from them. The other ex-
treme of small agricultural enterprise
has also been represented. The small
farmer has been emphatic also IN his
expressions Of appreciation Of the
benefits derived from attending these.
courses
this course Of lectures. The railroads

must be adopted and fastened, and
an adequate supply of men and
equipment provided
In addition to speaking on national
defense, the president attacked men
who love other countries better than
America, and men who stir up 1e-
Hgious and sectarian antagonism.
He declared such men should be
.ealled to a reckoning.
May ! not say, while am speak
ing OF this, that there is another dan
ger we should guard against? We
should rebuke not only manifesto
tons Of racial feeling here in Am
erica where there should be none, but
also every manifestation of religious
and sectarian antagonisnl. 1t does not
become America that within her bor-
ders, where every man is free to fol-
low the dictates of his conscience and
worship God as he pIeases, men
should raise the cry of church against
church. To do that is to strike at
the very spirit and heart of Amer
lea. We are God-fearing people.
We agree to differ about methods of
worship. but we are united in beiiev-
ing IN Divine Providence and in wor-
Shipping the God of nations. We are
the champions of religious right here
and everywhere that it may be our
privilege to give it our countenance
and support. The government is
conscious of this obligation and the
nation is conscious of tsespbligation.
Let no man create divisions where
there are none.
Here is the nation God has
builded by our hands. What shall
we do with it? Who is there who
does not stand ready at all times to
act in her behalf in a spirit of de-
voted and disinterested patriotism?
We are vet only in the youth and
first consciousness of our power.
The day of our country's life is still
but in its fresh morning Let US lift
our eyes to the great tracts of life
yet to be conquered in the interests
of righteous peace. Come, let us re-
new our allegiance to America, con-
serve her strength in its purity,
make her chief among those who
serve mankind, self f-reverenced, self
commanded, mistress of all forces of
quiet counsel, strong above all others
in good viii and the might of in
vincible justice and right.

GALvEZ AWAKE.
Four Room Building to Be Erectee
Under Supervision of Patrons.


Galvez, La, Nov. s, 1915.
Editor Chief:
Three years ago the Galvez people
voted a special tax, for a period of
five years, for the purpose of erect
ing an adequate school building in
which to house and educate their lit
tie ones. Due to some reason or
ether, nothing as yet has been done.
The Galvez school patrons have fl
Inally come to the realization that some
action must be taken-and that i'm
mediateIy order that their chill
dren's welfare in every phase may be
assured.
Accordingly, a series of meetings
were held, at which the patrons dis
cussed ways and means and thorough
" considered the situation. At the
last meeting an association was or
ganized that is getting in ship-shape
condition to weather the storm.
A building committee was appoint
ed. and work will be begun on a
four-room building as soon as plans
shall have been submitted and ae-
|cepted..
Let US give the Galvez folk the
glad hand for they are determined
to work IN harmony and unison, one
and all. in contemplation Of boastlng
