letter from the mother OF one OF the

This letter, written by MISSISSIPPI
woman to her son as he IS on the eve

impressed us SO wildly with the spirit
of true love and sacrifice that we
have obtained permission to repro
duce it, emitting only the name or

is as follows:
"My Darling SOM see from the
Natchez paper that your company Is

make? | have been expecting TINS
for the past year, and | am anxious
and distressed to think of the hard
ships and danger you may have to go
through.
1.-The bare thought of the possible
separation from your papa nearly
breaks my heart, but | am not the
kind of a woman to hold either OIL you
back from the call of your country.
There is no higher honor to my mind
than a soldiers duty faithfully per-
formed, and even though my heart

head in shame if either one of you
proved unworthy.

to do is to share in your company

There is nothing finer, Drawer or truer
in the life of man than to follow your

thankful that Jackson is to be the

A MAGNIFICENT GIFT.
Historic French Opera House Donated
to Tulane University.

All. the beautiful traditions of
French opera will be represented in
New Orleans in manner inspiring, to
the lovers of lyric art. Some I'M
known benefactor, evidently person
of wealth, position and culture, has
bought the old French Opera House
and given it, in fee simple, to Tulane
University of Louisiana. Not only
given it, but has undertaken to make
all repairs and improvements and
turn the historic edifce. over to Tu-
lane complete in every detail. .
French opera in New Orleans IS
one of the historic Institutions OF
America. In the great storm of Sept.
29 last, the massive theatre was Sc
verely damaged. The cost of repairs
was so great that the building was put
into the hands. Of a receiver, and
while r. T. Irby, president of the
Canal Bank & Trust Company, and
Ernest Lee Jahncke, president of the
Jahncke Navigation Company, bid the
property in, it IS not stated IN the
deed of gift that they are the donors
hence the identity Of this generous
and patriotic party or parties is still
unknown.
It is said that one Of the compelling
reasons for the action of the unknown
donor was the gossip that the French
Opera House would be converted into
moving picture theatre, and it was
the donors desire to prevent this
dissertation by turning this place of
romance and tradition over to the
control and ownership of such an in
stituton of high purpose and learning
as Tulane University.

Those who brave the dangers OF
storm, fog and icebergs of that ele.
waited submarine plateau east OF Cape
Cod, where the bankers seek the
cod, are to be looked after by Uncle
Sam. The men Of the big fishing fleet
which puts off from the New England
coast from Gloucester, Boston, New
buryport and Portsmouth lead ex-
istences which are dangerous to bod
fly health and even to life itself.
The fishing craft which seek the
cod, hake, halibut and other deep-sea
ground fish on the Georges have mea-
ger facilities for men who become dis
abled, and the usual program has been
that when a man got sick he had to
stay sick and take his chances of re-
covery, being out of reach Of physi-
clans, says the New York Press, edi'
torially. In single season many
boats and lives are lost, with numbers
more of men injured.
The national government has placed
the coast guard cutter Androscoggin
at the disposal of fishermen that may
become sick or disabled, and the Unit

fitted out the boat with hospital appli
ances and fittings. very thoughtful
