SAVE CAR MAN TROUBLE,

According to Sidney Boyer, street
car conductor, he was humping mer-
rily along on the rear platform OF
his car Sunday night when trouble in
the shape of Jack Smith, negro.
bounded on to the car platform be-
side him.
The negro, Conductor Boyer saws,
did not offer to pay a nickel. In
stead, the black man grabbed the
register cord and rang up half a
dozen fares.
I'm doin' this to save you trou-
ble," the negro is quoted as explain
ing to the conductor.
Then, he gave the motorman one
bell and when the car stopped he
bowed himself away into the dark
ness.
The police are looking for the
black man, who is said to live some
place in Jefferson parish.

LAYTON TO WRITE BRIEF

Mr.. Peter S. Lawton has been en-
gagged by the Naval Base Committee
OF the Board of Trade to write the
brief regarding our L. S. Naval Sta
ton and its facilities 10 be presented
to the commission which is shortly
TO visit Algiers for the purpose of in
yestigating our naval yard and to
ascertain its fitness for doing larger
work and also to equip the yard in
accordance with the recent act of
Congress which appropriated six mil
lion dollars divided among the
three naval stations, namely, New
York. Charleston and New Orleans.
Efforts will be made by the Naval
Base Committee to have at least two
million dollars set aside for the fur
Their improvement of our local sta
ton.
The building programme at the
Naval Station has already begun.
The station has been authorized to
begin at once the construction of a
vessel for the immigration Station.
to cost about twenty-five thousand
dollars. Actual work on this boat
is already under way and in a short
time there will be added activity in
the yard.
The selection of Mr.. Lawton to
write this brief no doubt meets with
the approval of all those who are in
terested in the yard. Mr.. Lawton
knows about the Naval Station and
its condition better than any other
single person in New Orleans and he
is well fitted to do this work. He
has paid particular attention to its
development and can tell our Con-
gressmen little about the affairs of
the station.

GREATEST STORE SOUTH
The M. B.
Lumber Yard

Every householder will appreciate the con-
venience of this new departure in department
store service. We have organized a Lumber
Department in which are stocked short
lengths of lumber for household purposes.
The next time you want to put up a Shelf or
make flower box, a table or book case, or
any of the thousand and one household arti-
Giles that can conveniently be made at home,
lust phone us, and we will deliver lumber of
the right length for your purpose. No more
trips to the sawmill are necessary, you can
find the lumber right on our third floor for all
home purposes and all the tools you need are
right beside it. The prices are too small to
talk about.

THE END OF THE WAR.

Forecasting the end of the war-like
hoop skirts-is coming back into fashion.
Two such representations have Just
reached our desk. One is by Col. Robert
M. Thompson, president of the Navy
League of the United States, who says the
war will last five years yet.
The other is by H. @. Wells, who says
it will end in March, 1917
Col Thompson bases his estimate on
the fact that both sidessare at deadlock.
It will take two years, he says, to push the
Germans out of France, and three to lick
Germany on German territory.
That Germany will be infinitely more
formidable fighting on shortened lines
granting, of course, the allies are able to
crush Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey in de-
tails, of course, certain but Wells seems
to think that Gernlany's superhuman eff
forts will result in her sudden, over
whelming exhaustion at time when she
appears most invincible.. With a front as
firm as ever, the crunbling will begin in
the rear.
Wells from the beginning cautioned the
British public against thinking Germany
would be easy to beat. If we remember
Alright, he got himself in bad, as the saying
is, because he didn't incline to the popular
view that one Britisher was the equal OF
two Germans. He has just returned from
the front, and from a careful study of the
situation, as far as it studiable, his opinion
IS founded on careful premises.
Five months or five years-the truth
lies somewhere between the two-maybe
