THE EUROPEAN DEADLOCK.

The great war across the seas has
assumed in large measure the char
acter of a deadlock. and it is now
believed there are not apt to be
any startling developments or de-
cisiye battles until the advent OF
spring.
The Germans appear to have gain
ed a marked advantage at scissors,
France, last Week, by recapturing a
considerable area of ground which
the French forces had won by grad
ual advances and repeated assaults
during period of month. The
Germans massed heavy force and
concealed it's real objective by a
feint directed against another part
of the French lines, followed by a
furious onslaught at scissors on the
part of the main body of the attack
ing troops. The suddenness and i'm
pefuosity of the attack, coupled with
the numerical superiority of the
Germans, compelled their antagon
lists to give way and to retire across
the river Aisne.
A number of minor engagements,
mostly artillery exchanges, have tax
en- place along the western battle
line during the past fortnight. but
the action at Scissors was the on
ly one of any particular importance.
There has been comparative quiet
along the eastern line also since
the Russians succeeded in stopping
the German advance toward Warsaw,
and the rigofs Of winter are inter-
ferlng with the movements of both
sides.
Much the same conditions prevail
with regard to the Russo-Austrian
operations in Galicia and the Russo
Turkish movements in the Trans-C Cau-
casus country, though the Russians
claim @sb be making material and
continuous progress in both these
regions. There seems to be no
doubt that they have inflicted great
punishment and losses upon the
Turks and have obtained control of
the most important passes of the
Carpathian mountains. through which
Hungary may be invaded.
20 another sensational attack has
us Q made upon the eastern coast
With 'ng1and, this time by German
...sThips, which dropped a score of
bombs into Yarmouth, Sandringham
and several other towns in the pro-
vince of Norfolk, last Tuesday night.
Only four persons We're killed, but
there was considerable damage to-
property. The air craft are report
ed to have returned safely from this
spectacular raid.

MoHAWks UP AND DOING.
Renewed Activity Among Local Rec
Men Promises Big Results.

The advent of the new year seems
to have awakened the members OF
Mohawk Tribe No 33, Improved Or
der of Red Men, to a fuller realiza-
tion Of their tribal duties and obli-
cations, and instilled In them a de-
termination to s'shake things up
during the coming tWelyemonth and
let Mohawk be heard from as one of
the most aggressive and Wide-aWake
tribes in the reservation. One pale
face was scalped at the last meet
ing, and two are to be put through
the same process when the council
fire is kindled next Tuesday, while
two more applications for member
ship are pending and at least six
are in prospect for early considera-
ton. These candidates will have the
distinction of being initiated into
the mysteries of the order by the
crack Mohawk degree team, which
has twice won the state champion
ship at successive annual meetings
of the great council and is prepar-
ing to again establish it's claim to
that title at the forthcoming con
vention and thereby obtain perma-
nent possession of the handsome Tre-
pagnier cup.
A gymnastic outfit is one of the
additions to the equipment of the
Mohawk club rooms planned for ear
ly requirement and other attractive
features are to. be provided from
time to time. In short, a cam
paign to instill new life into the
prrr t7of Jcf
astic interest and cooperation of it's
members has been decided upon, and
the personnel of the leaders who are
directing the movement and lend
ing their Influence and efforts to-
ward it's success gives ample assur-
ance that the progressive policy
will be vigorously carried out and
be productive of splendid results.

ALCOHOLISM AND INSANITY.
Large Percentage of Mental Diseases
in Males Traceable to Booze.

The report on the insane in the
United States, prepared by DR.. Jos.
A. Hill and recently issued by Viii
liam ]. Harris, director of the cen
sus, Department Of Commerce, indi-
Gates that there is more insanity
among men than among women.
The report is based upon data rela-
tive to the insane in hospitals and
asylums in 1910
Of peculiar interest in this con-
nection is the table which distin-
guishes the cases diagnosed as alco-
hol1c psychosis or general paralysis
mental diseases which, general
ly speaking, are the aftermath of
vice and dissipation. Of the 34,116
males admitted to hospitals for the
insane in 1910. S4o8, or about 25
Per cent of the total number, were
reported as suffering from one or the
other of these diseases, while the
number of females similarly afflict-
ed was only 2042, representing
about 8 per cent of the 26,653 fe-
males admitted. # from the total
number of admissions the cases of
alcoholic psycaosis and general pa
ralysis are deducted, the disparity
between the sexes practically dis
appears. There are left Of the total
admissions 25,708 males as com
pared with 24,611 females. a slight
excess of males, but no greater
Than naturally would result from the.
fact that there are more males than
females in the general population.

ITALY'S DISASTER

The earthquake that visited tht
central portion of Italy last week is
estimated 81 to have caused the loss o1
$4,000 lives, and probably twice as
many people We're injured, while the
property damage mounts high into
the millions.
according to the Associated Press
accounts, the places that suffered
most most We're Avezzano, with about 10.
wy Killed; Pescina, 5000: Celano.
1000; Cenchio, 2400: Marsi 1000:
Daterno, 1000; San Pelino, $50, and
raieuro, ZOO. One town lost an
eighth Of its population and anoth-
er was completely buried.
one OF the most horrible features
OF the calamity was the slow daath
OF many victims caught under tho
ruins Of their dwellings who cou1d
not extricate themselves nor he
reached by rescuers
Heroic work has been and is s+i11
being done by the Italian people in
succoring the sufferers and relieving
The distress resulting from the cat.
astrophe, and at the forefront in
this labor of humanity are King VIC
Tor emmanuel and the queen.
The United States government
made an offer of assistance through
rs ambassador to Italy, which was
aekf1noWiedged ,.f1 with thanks but de-
lined, as the Italian authorities
eel fully able to deal with the situa-
ion. h

WATER ROUTE 70 GoNzALES
Navigable Channel All the Way from
New Orleans in Prospect.

Messrs. Leon Picard, Achille /. Pi-
bers Of the board of commissioners
of the New River Drainage District.
and Caleb G. Weber, secretary of
the organization, held a conference
here Monday for the purpose of go
ing over the assessment rolls of the
district and rectifying certain dis
crepancies which have been found to
exist therein. It was ascertained
that a careful examination of the
various listings will have to be
made, requiring considerable re-
search, and it was decided to employ
some one to do the work.
Mr.. Dane, representing the Hi
bernia Bank and Trust Company, Of
New Orleans, was present to obtain
data relative to the bonds issued
by the district, amounting to $175,-
900, with a view to purchasing the
securities.
Frank Waddill, Of the engineer
ing firm of Daney e Waddill, who
We're employed by the board to make
a survey of the district and map out
the work to be done, was also in
attendance. 1t is of interest to note
that the plans for draining the dis
trict contemplate the dredging and
widening of the stream of New River
SO as to provide a channel SIS feet
in width all the way to Gonzales,
giving continuous nayigable water
way from that place to New Orleans. |
This will mean a great deal to the
farmers and business interests of |
an extensive and populous portion of |
east Ascension, and, in conjunction
with the improved drainage of thou
sands of acres of fertile lands,
should result in the rapid develop
ment of that section along agricul-
tural and commercial lines. |

DEATH or MRS. PHILIP cIRE.
Prominent Woman of Fourth Ward
Sinks Into Eternal Sleep.

Mrs. Philip Gre, nee Philomene
Carmouche, died at o'clock Tues
day morning at the family residence
in Faubourg la Pipe, aged forty-four
years. She had been i'll only two
weeks, having been stricken with
an attack Of typhoid fever, and the
sad announcement of her death came
as distinct shock to the entire
community. 1t was also the cause of
deep sorrow in numerous homes, for
the deceased was most estimable
and beloved woman and was widely
known.
In the death of Mrs. Cire the
neighborhood wherein she lived
loses one of its most prominent and
valuable women, the Catholic con-
gregation is deprived of a faithful
and earnest member, and the de-
voted husband, children, brothers.
sister and other relatives are sep
arated from one whose removal from
the family circle will entail heavy
loss.
Besides her husband, Mrs. Cire is
survived by four children, Arthur,
Bertha, Rene and Lucille Cire; two
brothers, Messrs. Frank and Charles
Carmouche, of New Orleans, and one
sister, whose home is in California.
The funeral took place at 1890
O'clock Wednesday forenoon, with
services and jnterment in the local
Catholic chur-t. and cemetery. Many
sorroWing relatives and sympathizing
friends accom- FAMED the remains to
their last resting place, and united
in extending sincere condolences to
tie loved ones bereaved by the pass
ing away of this true Christian and
noble woman.

YOUNG STILL HOLDS THE Fo5iRT.

State Bank Examiner Young seems
to have strangle-hold ON his jof
and to be determined to keep it in
spite of the efforts of the governor
or anybody else to pry him loose
from it.
District Judge Brunot of Baton
Rouge rendered an oral decision last
Saturday perpetuating the injunc-
tion sued out by Mr.. Young against
r. N. Sims, who holds commission
from Gov. Hall as state examiner of
state banks. We have yet to read
any detailed or succinet account of
the grounds upon which Judge Bru-
not bases his ruling, but we believe
the main point is comprised in the
contention Of plaintiff that his four
year term did not begin until the
confirmation Of his appointment by
the state senate, July s, 1912, al
though he had been in possession of
the office, exercising it's powers and
enjoying its emoluments during the
preceding eighteen months.
The judge sustained the motion of
plaintiff to strike out all averments
n defendants answer and all docu-
nents filed in the case appertaining
o the merits of the controversy,
Ind this action indicates the opin-
on of the court that the merits can
My be reached in direct suit for
ulster under the intrusion in office
et.
Such a suit is to be entered on
ehalf of Mr.. Sims without delay,
nd confidence is expressed that the
'sue will be decided In his favor.
There is evidently no tangible ba-
IS for the imputation that the at
empt of Gov. Hall to dfsplace Mr..
oung has any connection whatso-1
yer with the prosecution of Off
ais of the Capital City Bank at
atom Rouge for irregularities re-
'rted by the state bank examiner.
ne governor was well known to have
zen dissatisfied with the administra-
IN of the bank examiners officeI1
r many months, and he sought to
AXE Mr.. Sims examiner last year.
le effort was defeated by the deci-
N Of the courts that Mr.. Young's
m of four years had not expired.
