HINT OF SCANDAL
IN RUSSIAN ARMY
Ammunition Cases Filled With
RubbiSh-SpieS Blamed, But
London Remembers b.
reauCratiC Graft.

London. Aug. 10.-"Thousands of
cases Of ammunition Of every kind,
when opened at the front, were found
to contain rubbish" says the Daily
Mail in an account of the conditions
under which the Russian army has
been fighting. This situation Is pop
ularly ascribed to the work of Ger
man agents in Russian munition fac
tories"
This report revives fears in London
that corruption in the Russian army
may be to blame for the recent dis
asters. The world has not forgotten
the revelations Of scandal In the Rus
sian bureaucracy in the Russo
Japanese war. In that war the Rus
sian fleet vas sent against the Jap
with it's ammunition magazines
filled with sawdust, while the army
was sent to the front with vast guam
titles Of worthless shells.

The Natchitoches enterprise. (Natchitoches, La.) 1888-1965, 1915-04-08

Easter Sunday, one of the
greatest festivals of the ecclesias.
tical year, inasmuch as it com
memorates the triumphant consul
nation of the work which the
Redeemer Of the world had come
from heaven to accomplish. is q
day which always appeals to the
christian heart. 1t is an effective
reminder to the non-christian of
the divinity of the founder of the
christian religion and the obliga-
ton imposed upon all who look
to happy immortality, of confor-
ming their life to the new dispen-
sation which He inaugurated.
Therefore, 1t is that, in keeping
with the greatness of the day, the
services of the church are made
unusually solemn and impressive
at each annual celebration if this
glorious festival, then at the same
time expressing the JOY and glorv
of the Spouse Of. Christ upon
earth, and awakening the religious
sentiments of souls whose guar
dianship has been entrusted to her
and whom she would seek to lead
in the way of peace, of light and
of truth
Here at dear old Bermuda.
blessed as 1T is with It's St. Charles
Chapel, and a devoted body of
christians was thronged with an
immense congregation on Easter
Sunday. The Altar was gorgeous
IN its rich decorations which shone
forth splendidly amid the blaze of
myriads of lights. while the air
was redolent with the sweet per-
fume of the profusion of flowers
with which it was adorned.
Solemn High Mass was cele-
brated at eleven o'clock by Rev.
J, A, Bumgarter His sermon
was an eloquent exposition, at
once dogmatic and moral, of the
grand fundamental dogma of the
religion. The solemnlty
of the services was we'll observed
in the singing and music by the
choir under the skillfuI direction
Of their organist Mrs. j. Alph.
Prudhomme.
The Mass which they rendered
was SPLENDID illustration of the

Damming Cane River.

If at first you don't succeed,
Try, try again."
May be a trite old rhyme alright,
but trite and old or not. it is
just about as good a motto to
adopt and stick to, as any that
was ever written. And we are
happy to say that the citizens of
Natchitoches are beginning to see
the wisdom in it, and are putting
it into practice and in the end we
believe will win out, tho the try,
try again" may require understand
ing as well as patience.
The particular application Of
the old rhyme that we have
in mind just at this time,
is the Cane River damning
project that failed before the
Police Jury, this week, when the
Hon. Body was asked to set aside
one-eight of a mill for the purpose
of building two dams to divorce
Cane River from Red River, and
it was lost by vote of four TO
FIVE.
We are satisfied that those
members who voted against it,
simply had not looked thoroughly
into the matter or else they would
have understood what this dam
ming of Cane River would mean
to the whole parish; a matter of
81 miles of slack water navigation
which would make it so much
easier for the planters to get their
produce to market; to open up
new fields for cultivating untried
Tin this part of the State) produce;
an opening for composition, the
life of all trades, in transportation
and so many other valuable OPP
portanities too numerous to men
ton.
But this, failure to succeed, has
but made our people heed their
lesson and stimulated them to
try, try again" which will be
done agaih in the very near
future.
