4 clean AND CONSERVATIVE STATEMENT


this issue an interview given out in
Vicksburg Sunday by Hon. J. T.
Mcclellan of Madison parish and
published in the Vicksburg Herald
dealing with the political conditions
in Louisiana at the present time.
Colonel Mcclellan is one of the best
known men in Northeastern Louisi.
ana, having been for many years
prominently identified with the
levee interest along the Mississippi
river.
There are two significant features
connected with Colonel Mcclellan g
interview. One is that he is ex-
tremely conservative in his state
ments, 90 much 80 as to be almost
dispassionate, and the other is that
his interview followed on the
heels on Mr.. Barret's tour Of some
Of the northeastern parishes, includ-
ing Colonel McClellan's own par
ish. He very correctly observes
that the gubernatorial comgaign is
being wsged along conservative
lines and that Notwithstanding the
prohibition issue, less feeling and
passion il being manifested than
is usually experienced in a fight of
this kind.
Although Colonel Mcclellan does
not say 30, the reason for this is
very plain to any observer of the
political situation. It means moth
ing more or less than that Mr.. Bar
ret's candidacy, pitched upon the
one issue Of prohibition, has fallen
fat. He has not succeeded, as be
had hoped to do. in arousing the
fervor and enthusiasm of the prohi-
bitionists OF the state. His record
on this question argued convincingly
that he was merely seeking TO capt.
talise prohibition sentiments to for.
ward his own political fortunes.
Thus Mr.. Barret's candidacy has
served only to divide the prohibition
forces where he had thought to sol.
idify them for his own benefit.
Winding up his interview, Colo
mel McC lellan says:
Mr.. Barrett, through long service
in state politics, is personally popu-
lar in the river parishes, but his plat
form and his political associations in
the present campaign do not appeal
to the voters Of the alluvial section.
Mr.. Pleasant furnishes the exam
pie Of the self-made man man of
high political ideals one who hae,
BY hard work, risen above the ranks,
This appeals to the people, o. will be
shown in the final outcome.
My familiarity with political con-
ditions in North Louisiana inepires
the belief that Mr.. Pleasant Wilt &C.
cure o handsome majority in North
Louisiana, which added to his votes
in the Florida parishes and New Or.
leans. will make him an " easy win
ner."
This is a clear exposition of the |
situation as it exists in the state to-
day. II may safely be put against |
some Of the wild claims that are be-
ing advanced by Mr.. Barret's
friends. Most of those who make
these claims know better, but it
seems to be a case of whistling to
keep up their courage.
Colonel Mcclellan takes occasion
10 remark upon the fact that the
is we'll advanced. leaving

SLAVS READY TO LAUNCH
NEW EAST PRUSSIA DRIVE
War Office Asserts Gains Along
Enemy's Frontier.

Heavy fighting Is in progress south of
the East Prussian border near Lomza
Plock and Pr2anysZ. The Russians are
maintaining a strong offensive all along
this line from Augustowo down along the
bobr and Narew Rivers to a point south
of Plock. 1t is with the intention of
lessening Russian pressure in this region
that the Germans have attacked so Wig
orously south of the Vistula. 1t is be-
lieved that the Russians win be able to
start another drive into East Prussia
within the next ten days.
The German bombardment of OssowitL
has been without effect, it is declared here
Russian sorties coupled with efficient fire
of the guns in the Russian fortificatlons
caused great losses to the Germans.
The following official statement was
given out to explain some misleading
points in the German announcement rel
ative 10 the retreat from Grodno:
THE Germans retreated under con-
tinual Russian pressure. The Germans
lost thousands of prisoners and six can
non. One fight, in which the Germans
were defending hill, cost them a corps.
Throughout the entire fight from 1900

BLOCKADE PLAN OPEN
TO DEBATE, SAY ALLIES
British Will Assert Right to

WASHINGTON March 9.--England and

ade will be deebtable."
This coming order it Is now known will
claim the right to stop German bound
commerce anywhere on the high seas
But because of the broad nature of the
claims 1t will be explained that neutral
shipping is to be more effectively safe
guarded than heretofore
Senator HOke Smith, of Georgia, said
today that he was advising hic onstitu-
ents to continue their shipments OF cotton
both to enemy ports and to neutral ports.
THE peculiar thing about the British
announcement of yesterday" he said, "is
that it declares nothing as what will be
done with vessels and cargoes of cotton
sailing for enemy ports after they had
been stopped. We can only assume that
compensation will be made for any car
goes of cotton so seized. have been ad-
Vising my constituents to go on shipping

The United States has decided that II
VIII not acquiesce in any claims by any
OF the belligeT ents of fright OF might"
1t VIII insist that 1t has the right to trnde
with all countries under existing treaties
subject only to the authorized stoppage
of contraband or by properly proclaimed
and enforced blockade. This has been
communicated both to England and
France.
The one thing which is troubling the
United States more than anything else is
the belief that England will try to make
every article produced in Germany con-
thus interfering with the ship
ping to this country of large quantities
Of dyestuffs already contracted for by
Americans. Such action will result in a
most vigorous protest, and at no time
