OPPOSED TO ARMAMENT.
October 90, 1915.
M. w. Fisher, Editor:

October ~, 1910.
NJ. w. Fisher, Editor:
Dear Sir-Louisiana is to have
a. branch Of the American League
to, limit armaments, which has its
headquarters at 43 Cedar Street
New York City The League is
organized to- combat militarism
and the spread Of the militaristie
spirit in the United States.
At the present time with the
world grooming under the iron
rule of the milltarists of Europe
and those who would follow their
example, the League feels that
the United States should be pro-
tected from the spread of this
passion for military development,
and that the approaching session
Of Congress should find other
forces than those of the arma-
ments before the committees of
that body. The League would
point out the dangers Of calling
IN for our protection the very for
ces which are destroying Europe
before our eyes.
Germanys standing army,
more than seven times as large as
ours. costs; only twice as much:
and for our navy We spend such
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 al
ready is spent efficientlcy.
The League exists to avert
panic and promote sanity. It
stands for reasonable and effec-
tive use Of the public funds for
effective defense. It asks that
TOR every dollar spent on coast
detenses and battleships, at least
as much be spent in constructive
work to improve international re-
latlons. The League is opposed
to the militaristic program now
urged upon us, which calls for
Immensely increased army and
navy, government-paid militia,
training in school and
college, and even compulsory mil
ltary service. These are dan
gerous experiments to try.
Diplomatic successes such az
have crowned the recent efforts
OF our government without "rat-
ting the sabre raise a funda-
mental question as to the useful
ness of armament.
Any person in Louisiana in
sympathy with the purposes Of |
the League will be eligible for
membership. and names and adj
dresses can be sent TO
Very truly yours.

JTHER AND BABE DROWN.

Alderman, Miss, July 1.-Word has
reached here to the effect that Mrs.
Doc Miller and her little threeyear
old daughter were drowned late yes
terday afternoon while crossing a
swollen stream in the field of Wesley
Stephenson, near here.
Mr.. Miller had been away from
home with some members of his fam.
lily and before he could return a
heavy rain had fallen. He was travel
ing country road and seems was not
familiar with the crossing at this
swollen stream. The bridge gave way
and Miller jumped out to control his
team and the wagon bed floated off,
in which were his wife and child and
both lost their lives.
Mrs. Miller's body was recovered
, but the child has not been found.

Washington, d. c., July 1.-George
w. Goethals is to be succeeded as gov
ernor Of the Panama Canal by Lieut.
Col. Chester Harding of Mississippi.
Lieut.. Col. Harding has spent five
years on the isthmus, and during the
absence of Gen Goethals has been act
ing governor of the canal zone. 1t is
understood that Gen. Goethals sug-
gested the name Of Lieut.. Col. Hard
ing as successor and that the Presi-
dent has agreed to the appointment.
The appointment will have to be con-
firmed by the Senate, but it is prac-
tically certain that no objection will
be made.
Lieut.-Col. Harding was born at En-
terprise, Miss, and is a brother to w.
P. G. Harding, one of the members Of
the federal reserve board. Their ia
Their was formerly superintendent Of
the Mobile & Ohio Railroad, with
headquarters at Enterprise.
The appointment probably will not
be made before November, at which
time Gen. Goethals has announced he
will retire.

that section animosities would be
