TO IMPROVE LOCAL WATER
SUPPLY.

A report was submitted to the mum
icipal light and water commission on
Thursday by Consulting Engineer E.
M. Ivens of New Orleans, whose en-
ployment by that body to investigate
the status of the local water supply
and recommend measures for it's i'm
provement was mentioned in last
weeks Chief.
Mr.. Ivens has accommodates
his preliminary examination of ex-
isting conditions indicated he would
do-that the river be no longer de-
pended on as the sole source of the
city's supply of water for fre-fghting
and other purposes, but that this in
creasingly precarious and expensive
source be supplemented and rein
forced by the boring Of wells, such as
are in successful use in a number of
cities and towns throughout the state.
The Chief has already pointed out
the imperative need for prompt and
effective action toward remedying a
situation that is replete with possible
peril and disaster, and it is earnestly
to be hoped that there will be no I'M
necessary loss of time in setting afoot
the measures required to cure the
present defects and deficiencies in
Donaldsonville's water supply.

WAR AND PEACE NEWS.

The powers forming the European
entente have unanimously decided
that Germany's proposal to declare an
armistice and enter upon discussion
of peace terms cannot be accepted
that the only guaranty of the future
peace of Europe must be based on the
suppression of Prussian militarism,
and negotiations in advance of the &C
complishment of this aim would be
futile.
! The United States government,
speaking through it's state depart
ment, has urged the belligerent pow
ers to formulate a statement of the
specific objects for which they are
| fighting and of the terms upon which
they will be willing to begin peace ne
gotiations. The other neutral gov
ernments of the world are invited to
join this country in presenting the
proposition to the belligerents, and
Switzerland announces concurrence
with the attitude taken by the United
States Germany has promptly de-
clared it's acceptance of the sugges-
ton and something tangible may yet
result from the movement.
The Teutonic armies continue to
advance through Roumania, except in
the western province of Dobrudja,
where the combined Russian and Rou-
manian forces claim to have checked
the invaders.
The French achieved consider
able success in the Verdun region re-
Gently, capturing several strong Ger
man positions and taking thousands
of prisoners.
In Mesopotamia the British signal
ly defeated over 1000 Turks, taking
1900 prisoners and killing or wound
ing the remainder of the enemy's
force. The British have advanced
within striking distance of Kut-elma-
ra, where their expeditionary force
was besieged and forced to capitulate
last year.
There has been a marked increase
of the destruction of shipping by Teu-
tonic submarines recently, giving rise
to many charges Of the violation of
neutral rights and international war
rules, affecting in some instances the
lives and liberties of American citi-
zens on sunken vessels.
Carranza has not agreed to the pro-
tocol arranged by the joint American
Mexican commission, and it is not
improbable that the commission will
soon adjourn without accomplishing
the object for which it was created.
Gen. Villa continues his activities and
depredations in the state of Chihua-
hua, where his forces have recently
captured the cities of Chihuahua and
Torreon. The Mexican situation,
therefore, is complicated and threat
ening, and the United States nay yet
be driven to the necessity of more de-
termined and effective Intervention
than has yet been attempted in order
to assure peace along the border and
the protection of American lives and
rights in Mexico.

WARNING TO SHIPPERS.
Radical REIMBURSEMENT of Rates |.
Sought by Louisiana Railroads.

Shelby Taylor, chairman of the
Louisiana Railroad Commission, has
sent out the following letter to news
paper editors, shippers, mayors and
other interested persons throughout
the state, calling attention to the fact
that the application filed by Louisiana
carriers for readjustment of freight
rates has been fixed for hearing be-
fore the railroad commission at Ba-
ton Rouge Jan. IT. Mr.. Taylor
characterizes the general advances
asked for as Revolutionary" and
advises the shippers to study the stu
alton carefully and be prepared to
take such steps as they may s'deem
proper to protect their interests. +"
His communication is as follows:
Baton Rouge, La, Dec. &c, 1916.
Dear Sir:-As chairman Of the
Railroad Commission, I wish to call
to your serious attention the fact that
the railroads of Louisiana have made
application for a readjustment of
rates which is revolutionary, propos-
ing many advances in existing class
rates between points in this state.
"The application has been fixed for
hearing before the commission at Ba-
ton Rouge on Wednesday, January
II, 1917. The commission will glad
ly supply you with copy of it upon
your request.
"This application, taken in connec-
ton with the attack on Louisiana
rates by the Natchez Chamber of
Commerce before the Interstate Com
merce Commission, has assumed much
larger proportions than any other
rate adjustment ever proposed in Lou
isiana.
"It is needless for me to mention
to you that under the circumstances
it is most important that the shippers
of the state inform themselves as to
conditions and be prepared to meet
the issues raised in this case. /
deem it my duty as the official head
of the rate-making body of the state
to give full notice to all interested
parties, and therefore request that
you kindly advise all shippers and
receivers of freight in your vicinity,
in order that they may be able to
study the proposition of the railroads,
so that such steps might be taken as
are necessary to protect their in
,ereStS"

AN EFFICIENT OFFICER RE-
ELECTED.

The reelection of Parish Superin-
tendent H. P. Broussard by the AS
cension board of public school direc-
tors will be generally accepted as an
Endorsement of the course of a con-
sclentious and painstaking official, I'M
der whose supervision a marked i'm
proVement in the status of the educa-
tional system of this parish has been
made.
Mr.. Broussard is to be congratulate
ed upon this practical approval of
his administration, and upon the ex-
cellence of his record in the RESPONSE

and undoubted ability, and his friends
expect him to fully maintain in the
future the praiseworthy standard of
successful school supervision and
established by his pre-
vlous labors in that direction.

Thirty baskets loaded to the brim
with fine assortment of staple gro.
eeries were distributed among worthy
poor families of Donaldsonville and
vicinity on Christmas eve by the To-
cal lodge of Elks, in accordance with
the yearly custom of the big-hearted

of coffee, ten and a half pounds of
Irish potatoes, one 2-pound can of to-

Fords Selling in Carload Lots.

K. A. Aucoin, local agent for Ford
automobiles, yesterday received and
delivered a carload shipment of five
of these popular machines, the re-
spective purchasers being as follows
ALBERT Waguespack, Vacherie; Rev.
C. M. Chambon, ]. S. Suttle, Arthur
Hartrampf and A. A. Sarradet, Dom
aldsonville. Another consignment of
six cars, despatched on the 21st inst.

erie; Emanuel Alleman, Hohen Solms;
Antoine Curse and Sabin Landry,

loads, to be delivered here during
January, have been placed by Mr..

that all of these cars will be disposed
of before the shipments are received.
If not, they will be wrapped up and
placed on the shelves of the Aucoin

POOR TOTS MADE HAPPY.
Civic Leagues Doll and Toy Distribu-
ton Great Success.

The hearts of scores of poor chill
dren were gladdened through the me-
dunn of the Civic Leagues annual
distribution of dolls and toys on
Christmas eve, and once more was it
visibly and effectively demonstrated
that the beautiful charity is one that
creates an abundance of happiness
and should by all means be perpetu-
ated. Children to the number OF l35
shared in this years distribution, and
the event was even a greater success
than either of it's two predecessors.
Alex. Bloomenstiel impersonated San
ia Claus, as usual, and there was the
customary Christmas tree and other
concomitant attractions and decora-
tions. Dolls, toys, games and story
books were presented to the children
according to age and sex, and In ad.
dition each child received a bag OF
candy, an orange and apple, and a
shiny new nickel.
A contribution of SO cents to the
doll and toy fund from Winonah Ram
irez, the lovely little daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Edward Ramirez, was mad
vertently omitted from the list pub
lished in previous issues of the Chief.
The addition of this donation brings
the total of the 1916 fund to S47.75,
and checks for this amount have been
turned over to the Civic League.

DIR NEW JUDICIAL OFFICERS

The Chief deems it pleasant pr.
viIege to felicitate two prominent
and estimable citizens of the neigh
boring parish of Assumption upoI
their assumption" under the mos,
favorable auspices, Of the duties ano
responsibilities of the important OF,
fees of judge and district attorney OF
this judicial district.
Hon. Philip H. Gilbert, who has
served with creditable efficiency ano
ability as district attorney Tor the
past eight years, received merlteo
promotion at the hands of the people
of the district at the November cleo
ton, when he was elected without OPP,
position to the position OF district
Judge. The experience and training
he has had in the office of prosecuting
attorney, coupled with his alert mlno
and Well-balanced temperament
should qualify him for a successful
and distinguished career upon the
bench, and this is what the Chief, IN
common with host of other friends,
heartily hopes he may achieve and en-
Hon. George S. Guion, after win
ming a brilliant victory IN his contest
for the Democratic nomination Tor
district attorney, was elected IN NO
vember. like Judge Gilbert, without
opposition, and there is no lack OF
confidence on the part of any VINO
know him as to his ability to make
good as a prosecuting attorney and
the legal adviser of the police jurles
Of the parishes of Assumption, Ascen-
sion and St. James, which constitute
the twenty-seventh judicial district.
Mr.. Guion's father is the Hon. Wal
ter Guion, whose distinguished ser
vices in the positions Of judge OF this
judicial district, attorney general OF
Louisiana and United States attorney
for the eastern district of this state
have given him place in the front
rank of the commonwealth able and
successful lawyers and jurists, and
the son gives evidence of having IN
herited the talent that has made his
father conspicuous in their chosen
profession.
While extending a greeting to the
new judge and district attorney and
wishing them future of honor and
success in the high spheres of public
service to which they have been call
ed by their constituents, it is also
proper that word of commentator
and appreciation should be spoken in
behalf of the worthy gentleman who
has voluntarily retired from the
bench to resume the practice of law.
Hon. Charles 7. Workman, also of
Assumption, has filled the office of
district judge during the past four
years in manner at once highly cred
table to himself and TO the people
who honored him with tncir sufrages.
The judicial ernaeae passes from his
shoulders to those Of his successor I'M
sullied, and the best we can wish for
the newly qualified judge is that his
administration of the Office may be
marked by degree of ability and
evenhanded justice equal to the stand
ard set by his immediate predecessor.
In expressing the hope that Judge
Workman will win new laurels and a
generous need of material prosperity
in his return to private practice the
Chief can safely assume to speak the
sentiment of the entire people of this
judicial District

L. Birchfeld of Florida, who have
been attending the Carnegie Institute
of Technology in Pittsburg, arrived
here last week and are making ar
engagements to engage in farming and
stock breeding somewhere in this sec

lands in Pointe Coupee parish be-
longing to Mr.. Cary's father, Capt.
w. S. Cary. They will embark in the
enterprise on quite an extensive scale
and along scientific lines, and are con-
fident the possibilities here are such
that they will make success of the
venture. Mr.. Cary's numerous
friends are gratifed over his return
to his native heath, and unite in wish
ing him and Mr.. Birchfeld an I'M
limited measure of success in their
prospective undertaking.
