sissippi Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows |
and auxiliary organizations, who have
been meeting in Jackson for the last
three days, returned to their homes

ed last night. They will meet in Jack
son again next year.
The election of officers took place
yesterday, and before adjournment
last night, these were installed. They
were:
Grand master, Barney Semmelman
of West Point.
Deputy grand MASTER, oliver L. Ad-
olson of Laurel.
Grand representative to sovereign
grand lodge, b. F. Fridge, of Ellis
Vile
Grand Secretary, W. S. D. Doty of
Grenada.
Grand treasurer, II. Katz Of Hattics-
burg
Trustee of orphans home fund, c.
L. Lincoln o. Columbia.
| Jackson was selected as the place
for holding the grand lodge meeting
in 1916, winning over Biloxi and
Vicksburg.
| The last session Of the grand lodge
was taken up largely with hearing the
reports from the various lodges
throughout the state, and nearly all
showed gains in membership
The Ellisville lodge captured first
honors for membership gains, show
ing an increase on its roster of "A
members. Amid cheers the prize ban
ner awarded by the grand lodge every
year to the subordinate lodge making
the largest net membership increase,
was given to the Ellisville delegation.
The fight over the place for holding
the 1916 meeting began early when
Vicksburg and Biloxi Odd Fellows
tried to rally support to their respec-
tive cities. Enthusiastic speeches
calling attention to the advantages of
the three cities, Jackson, Biloxi and
Vicksburg, were made, but the fight
soon narrowed down to two places,
Jackson and Biloxi.
Some of the members of the lodge
believed it would be less expensive to
come to Jackson, and said they had
been royalty entertained while here
/. While others wanted to go to the
) coast, they believed that the condition
OF the treasury was such that would
make it advisable to come here fol
the next two or three years.
When Jackson was selected there
was loud applause.

 If a lesson has been given, if exper- pie how to live it Is well they have had it-a blessing in disguise. This Is reckon ing day for many. We have talked with men who have never idled great, strong, genuine specimens who have lived by the sweat of their brow and spent their lasa dollar. The storm has caught them with out shed. and they are thinking of another chance.
 Trials teach us what we are, they dig up the soil and let us see what we are made of; they just turn up some of the i'll weeds on the surface"
 Men who worked with the emergency committee because they were idle and wanted to help have been of great assist ance. They have entered the campaign with a genuneness that has stamped worth upon the community who saw theil vigor some of them have shaken hands with us across a bank of donations. and gone to a job--the field has been opened ry mixing with the people, and they have bounced out to business like boy on his first school day-the happiest of all days.
 to many of us We know many of the causes for distress. and we have thought out plans for remedying. We realize we are our brothers keeper.
 There are many people we must think for: many that are swalting for the les son of loving. Often as we looked into the face of care-worn mother. we won dered why the God given privilege of motherhood. why trusted with the sacred responsibility of a human soul. No thought or care of how to live how to do the ordinary duties of a home--a lanquid namby- -pamby way of getting along somehow. For how many generations has this class of genius been transmitted, until now in this offspring there Is q Hull of ambition, of energy of wanting to do, except to Tive somehow"
 We have a duty, an onerous one, in our neighbours homes-there must be an up- agement let's give 1t. if 1t is training let's insist upon daughters learning home- making that they may teach mother.
 In this service of distribution among our people the gifts of friends, we have made many mistakes but the emergency has beep metA-the peace of mind for n short while has been distributed as lib- eraly and systematically as possible. We can safely say we have Issued 2500 baskets of food, valued ut least q each, and one purchase of 50 tons of coal, divided in half ton deliveries, besides many tons do- mated by coal companies and individuals, and clothing in quantities.

Paris. January 29.-tCorrespodence of the Associated Press.)-The rows of freshly covered mounds in the military divisions of Parisian cemeteries lengthen each month. The grass is beginning to grow over some of them and monument here and there already marks the rest ing place of hero. The mounds of flowers of All Saints Day have faded, but others are constantly added to main- tain the distiction between the military and civil sections.
 About 1500 soldiers now lie in the Bag neux, Ivy and Pantin cemeteries, includ- ing 55 German and B English, nearly all of whom, brought from the battefields of the Marne and Aisne, died in Paris hospitals No more German or English wounded are brought to Paris and the average burials per day have diminished from 20 to 5.
 The Germans are all buried at Bag neux in special plot hidden by a newly erected hedge from the rest of the ceme- tery.

LEADERS FRENCH
 STRIKE RE|NSTATED
Is in Recognition of Loyalty and Efficiency of Rail-
 road Men During War

Paris. January o0.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press )--In recognition of the loyalty and faithfulness of the rail- road employees of France who partici- pated in the strike of 1910. and many of whom lost their positions because of their activities, the government and the companies have consented to the rein- statement of the last of the strike leaders.
 The part the railway men have played In the war includes many acts of heroism and bravery. Fully 30.00o of them are known to be incorporated in the army an equal number are thought to be pris- oners of war at present, and the railroad employees have contributed 7oo,oe0 of the S,oo0000 francs that have been raised by the national relief committee.
 Many of the station agents have been shot, according to Treas surer Marcel Du- bois of the National Federation of Rail- road Employees, but their names are with held until details and verification of re- ports have been received. Many of the leaders have been killed, and others are thought to be among the buried "un- known dead"
 Among the stories of the devotion of the employees is that of the station agent at Fives-I,ille who attempted to unbolt the rails so as to wreck Ger man armored train but when halted by an officer with a revolver switched the train onto a track leading to Mont de-Terre, near Lille. where the Ger mans were met by the fire of a bat italian of Alpine chasseurs.
 Again, at Saint-Die, where the Ger mans had been in possession for only a few hours. the signalman. knowing that a train loaded with French sol diers and officers was approaching, turned the danger signal and ran up the track to warn the engineer to re- verse hls levers. The employees loyalty cost him his life, but his action saved the French force, for the train was stopped in time so that the soldiers were not delivered into the hands of their opponents.
 To repay the fate that befell the occupants of the armored train, the Germans stuffed the firebox of a loco motive attached to the safety valve and sent the engine. without pilot, to- ward the Lille railroad station, The eoolness of switchman again avert cd disaster for at the risk of his life he switched the locomotive onto another track and ran it into a bump- CT, where it turned over into ditch and exploded harmlessly.
 The French estimate that 6000 rail- road men were taken prisoners at Lille. 200O at Lens, 1900 at Aniens, 2500 at Rubaix, and 5000 at vslen- ciennes. 1t is reported that such men, when taken prisoners, are being forced to work upon the supplementary for- tifications of the Rhine by the Germans if they refuse to be forced into rail- road service in Germany.
