Russians toward Petrograd began.
Even II this retreat becomes neces-

path. In other words, the gigantic

the ability Of the Russians to hold

sTRATTNiAN IS NEW CHIEF.
Commission Council of Bogalusa APP
points Him to Succeed d.
II. Cassidy.

o. C. Strattman has been selected
as Chief of Police to succeed e. 4.
Cassidy, who rendered mis- resigna-
ton last week. The appointment OF
Mr.. Strattman was made at special
session of the city council on Tues
day afternoon. There were many
applicants for the position and the
appointment of Mr.. Strattman comes
as reward for his efficient service,
being promoted from the ranks of
the police department. He will as
sumo his new duties July 3.
The new chief has served as a pa
trolman since the city was incor-
porated and has made a splendid
record. He is brave and fearless and
we'll qualified for the position.
Mr.. Strattman has announced as
a candidate for sheriff of this parish
and the election to the office of chief
of police of the city will most likely
result in his withdrawal from the
race. However, Mr.. Strattman has
not authorized such a statement and
an effort to locate him yesterday was
unsuccessful Enterprise.
Mr.. Strattman was formerly a resi-
dent of St. Tammany parish, and has
many friends here who extend their
heartiest congratulations.

Great Britain
Answers Note

Washington, June 24.-Great Brit
ain in memorandum transmitted
| to the United States and made public
here and efforts to minimize incon
venience to neutral commerce result
ing from the Order in Council
against trade in Germany, Austria
and Turkey, and asserts that Ameri-
can citizens have no just grounds for
complaint on account of the treat
ment accorded their cargoes.
No attempt is made to answer the
principles asserted in the American
note of March l protesting against
the Order in Council and insisting
upon the right Of neutrals to carry
on legitimate commerce with each
other and to trade in non-contraband
with civilians in beligerant countries.
In transmitting the memorandum
Ambassador Page said it was mere
ly an explanation of concrete cases
and the regulations under which they
are dealt with
Another note to Great Britain is
now in course Of preparation at the
State Department and is expected to
be dispatched as soon as the negotia-
tons with Germany over submarine
warfare have been cleared up. While
this communication probably will
make reference to the latest memo
randum, it is understood that the
manner of enforcing the Order in
Council will not be treated as rele-
want to the question at issue-wheth-=
er there is any warrant in interna-.
tional law for the powers that Great
Britain and her allies have assumed
to exercise over the commerce of the
world.
In it's memorandum the foreign Of
flee emphasizes the various special
concessions made in favor of United
States citizens" in setting forth that
all British officials have acted in
every case with the utmost dispatch
cnsistent with the object in view and
of showing in every case such con-
sideration for neutrals as might be
compatible with the object, namely,
to prevent vessels from carrying
goods for, or coming from the enc
my's territory"
Arrangements for buying Ameri-
can cotton detained and for permit
ing the passage of goods bought in
Germany by Americans before the
date of the Order in Council are out
lined and the promise made that con-
sideration will be given to special
cases of this kind in the future.

BILIOUS ATTACKS.

When you have bilious attack
your liver fails to perform its func-
tons. You become constipated.
The food you eat ferments in your
stomach instead OF digesting. This
infames the stomach and causes
nausea, vomiting and terrible head
ache. Take Chamberlain's Tablets.
They will tone up your liver. lean
out your stomach and you will soon
be as well as ever. They only cost
a quarter. Obtainable everywhere:

Schilling Tells
Of School Work
at Ben William,

Natchitoches, La, June 81, 1916.
Editor st. Tammany Farmer:
Last fall, when / took charge az
the Ben Williams school, in st. Tam.
many parish, found desire In the
hearts Of a few patrons for Z better
school. This school was located
eQuidtstant from two other little one
room schools. saw a good oppors
tunity to bring about consolida-I
ton Of the three schools, and pro
ceeded to bring on the campaign.
The first thing that did was to-
get the sentiment Of the pupils for .
better school: then through the
pupils and other means, succeeded
in getting the sentiment Of the pat-I
rons. l found very little oppositions
in the beginning. We decided to|
celebrate Thanksgiving Day in order
to have some educator come and give
q lecture on the consolidation az
schools. Hon. Delos r. Johnson
came and delivered a good 1ecturs-s
Then the trustees Of the two-ro0m
school ran q petition throughout the
various communities In favor Of the
consolidation. Practically all Of tho
patrons signed the petition, after
which the trustees presented the pc
tition to the parish school board.
The school board took up the matter
at once and set the time for special
school tax election.
The good people Of the district
went to the polls on Good Friday!
April 2, 1915, and said by their bali
lots: I'VE are going to have new
four-room school building" think
that the above date should be con-
Sidered the most memorable day ever
held in tina community, because "
was upon this date that the good
citizens Of the district made 1t pos-
sible to give their children public
school education at home.
Thus my dreams have come to-
pass. and the ideals Of the commune
ty have been affected.
Yours sincerely,
s. O. SCHILLING.
