 The simplest part of the work is the exchange of the maimed captives, les grands blesses," as they are called in the records at Geneva.
 Hardest in it's detail work is the search for the missing, the co-ordina- ton of the lists of the dead and wound ed. Inquiries are pouring into Geneva from all over the world.
 The name of every missing man in quired after is written out on white card with all the details given and the name and address of the inquirer. It can. easily be imagined what task this is.
 With all the belligerents the agency has arranged to be furnished regularly with all lists of casualties. Every name

is copied off on to card of particu- lar color. These cards are then col lated with the white ones and the friends are notified. Filed away, of the French, British. Belgians and Germans alone. are no fewer than 1.230.ooo white cards.
 Severe while it was on was the ex- change of the civilian prisoners, old men, women and children who had been interned. Day after day they came by the train load from Germany and France. To prevent unpleasant clashes the different nationalities had to be kept apart. The French were sent to one part of the city, the Germans to another. and they crossed the city by different routes.
 Many were the heartrending cases. All were frightened. broken in spirit

Few had more in the world than they carried. The sufferings of long intern ment were written on every face, and all had acquired d habit of obedience which was painful to the Swiss, Weary and sick mothers struggled under the burden of whimpering babies. Some had been so many years in Gers many or France their native land and ltongue were foreign to them; they were torn from their homes and were going to strangers. going God only knew where. Some cases were even harder. for there were young F'renchwomen who had married Germans in France
 and German girls who had married
 Frenchmen in Germany and were being
 driven out of their own country into
 the land of their country's foes while
 their husbands were detained as enc- | mics. tE
 But hardest of all is the burden which
 has just begun to fall upon the Swiss.
 This is the effort to help the unhappy French and Beleians from the terri tory occupied by the Germans the old men, women and children. who now that food is becoming scarce. are being. sent away from their home land. At the rate of a train load, 400 or 300 dey. they are taken through Germany and landed over the frontier of Switzerland.
 The Swiss have to convey them to the
 French frontier. MT. Ador has received the thanks of
 the pope for the work the Swiss are
 doing.

Proposed Change Of Schedule o.
the 7. & P.

The Commercial Association in
vited those business people who
are not members to meet with it
on Monday night, to discuss the
change in the schedule that will
be pctitioned for b. the I. & p.
at the meeting of the State Rail
road Commission on January 26tn.
AS proposed the train will leave
here in the morning for Cypress
at 9:1O a. m. instead of $3.50 a. M.
making connection with train No.
a on the main line that leaves
Shreveport at 6 a. M, reaching
New Orleans at 7:43 p. N. instead
of 6 p. m. and returning leave for
Shreveport at T0:40 a. m. arriving
there at 2 p. m, leave Shreveport
at 4:3O p. m. reach here at $40 p.
m. and make connection with the
fast train No. 52 at Cypress which
leaves New Orleans at 1890 p. m.
and get back into Natchitoches
about $3.50 p. nj.
As far as the passenger service
is concerned, it is one of the best
our people have ever had, but it
will give us very poor mail SER
vice, practically only one mail II
day, making the N. O. papers
from "a to 30 hours old. Except
for this which for many will be
very inconvenient, the change will
be satisfactory and SO the AssOcia-
ton endorsed it for trial reserving
the right to protest if found dis
advantageous.

A Printing Centenary.

Little notice has been given t.
the centenary If the power news
paper press. On Nov. 90, 1914
the London Times was printed or
a power press for the first time,
OF tins great advance in the print,
ing arts The Times then said;
Our journal OF this day presents
to the public tile practical results
of the greatest Improvement con-
nected with printing since the dis
covery of the art itself. The
reader of this paragraph now
holds in his hands one of the many
thousand impressions of The Times
newspaper which were taken off
last night by mechanical appar-
atus. A system of machinery,
almost organic, has been divised
and arra1"ed which, while it re-
lIeYeS all human frame from it's
most laborious efforts in printing,
far exceeds all human powers in
rapidity and dispatch. That the
magnitude of the invention may
be justly appreciated by its effects,
we may inform the public that
after the letters are placed by the
comDositors, and enclosed in what
are called the forms little more
remains for man to do than to
attend uDon and watch the uncon-
scious agent in its operation"
Germany was the birthplace of
the art of printing, and it was
fitting that Friedrich Koenig of
Dresden should have been the man
to make the first great improve
ment in it since the days OF Guten-
berg. Three years later Koenig
perfected a cylinder press that
would print both sides of a sheet
Of paper at the same time. Since
then American inventors have led
the world in improving methods
