career of many years in obtaining
and weighing views Of other ex-
perts as to public affairs. The opin-
ions advanced here are the opinions
that any intelligent man can obtain
and are more likely, as experience
fully teaches, to be correct than the
opinions of professed experts.
Briefly let US sum up the situa-
ton:
Man power-The Allies have now
in service more than the Central
Powers.
Munitions-Th Allies are we'll
supplied in all forms of war NUM-
tons and from now on will have
more coming along than Germany
can muster.
Sea power-In the use of submar-
inc alone has Germany shown any
superiority to England. On no other
naval count is she a match for her
foes. s-.
Politics-England and France
already have a large measure Of de-
mocracy. In this they stand superior
to the Central Powers. The likeli-
hood of internal dissentions over war
politics seems less for the Allies than
for German and Austria.
Summary-1n a military sense,
Germany may reasonably claim to
have the best of it today, inasmuch
as no foreign forces camps on her
soil and she holds foreign territory.
The future, however, is her great
problem and for the future the AL
lies seem Individually to have the
better prospect.
Germany obtained her advantage
through careful preparation and a
rush. The Allies must re-
trieve the lost ground though pain
full, expensive, tedious drudges, &C
companied with tremendous loss of
life.

EXPERTS SAY WAR
CANNOT COME TO
END WITHIN A YEAR

The writer who has talked with
leaders at front reviews the situa.
ton. Remarkable progress have been
made by Britain all the Allies went
into the struggle unprepared and are
now better equipped than the enemy
How long is the great war going to
last?
Wrapped in the answer to the
question are developments affecting
not only Europe but America more
portentious than in any other ques-
ton that may be asked today.
Within the last six week have
had rare opportunities while abroad
to come at some of the factors in
the problem.
At the beginning of the war it will
be remembered that the world re-
ceived with incredulity the declara-
ton that Engrand must prepare for
war He estimated plainly that 1h =
war might 60 beyond this period.
When he spoke these words Eng
land was thoroughly prepared in
land forces than is America today.
Everyone knows the astounding
success which has met the efforts of
the British in bringing the army to
the point where it is now equal in
strength, counting numbers of men,
to the army Of Germany, supplied
with a continuous flow of ammuni-
ton and arms, backed by financial
resources greater than at present
seems viii ever be needed.
We know that France, while no
means unprepared when the war
broke out, was not ready in the de-
gree which the enormous scope Of
German operations rendered need
full.
We know how she has risen to the
occasion. How in her manufacture
of field artillery and war munitions
of all sorts, she too, has performed
Herculean tasks.
In the six weeks to which l refer
have talked with men in the lead
ing positions Of England, in France
and with men from Germany who
have lived there for many years and
have had an opportunity to come to
The safest conclusions.
Taking q balance from the testi-
mony from all sides let it be said in
all seriousness that the end Of the
war will not be seen under twelve

SHEPHERD OF HILLS
IS BIG SUCCESS

A pastoral play Of more than or
binary charm, was unfolded las
evening at the Grand Opera House
before an unusually large audience
"The Shepherd Of the Hills" is the
name Of the offering and is a drama
tization of Harold Bell Wright's nov.
ell, bearing the same name. The au
diencc was quick to appreciate the
fine points of the play and applause
was meted out in good measure al
all times.
Throughout the play runs a senti.
ment of buoyant optimism and a
sturdy faith in the finer qualities OF
human nature that is splendidly in
spring in it's effect, and this pre-.
dominating quality was brought out
with q real artistry by the well bal
ance company seen last night
There was no installing the enthus-
iasm Of the audience, both for the
players and the play. It was heart
cning demonstration, indicating in
dubitably that the success of the
play seems as firmly assured as the
novel from with it has been con-
structed.
So simple in outline and so true
to the rugged but sincere human
nature it portrays is "The Shepherd
of the Hills" that its popularity is
readily. explained. It deals intimate
ly with the homely lives of the Ozark
jewellers, when luxury was unknown ;
when the rough hard work existence,
was met with fortitude and indus
try. In heart-warming fashion it tells
CT the stranger who comes to the
little community from more pre-
tentious life and how, from a simple
tender of sheep, he becomes a shep-
herd Of men.
The acting of each part was en-
tirely creditable and every hit of the
liberal applause was we'll deserved.
Mrs. Grant Matthews, Anut Molly, is
played by Maud Norton Curtis, Don
Mortified and John Thorn as the

COMPLETE AUTOMOBILE
TRAIN IN TEXAS.

What is undoubtedly entitled
to be termed the most modern Of
prairie schooners, a motor train
consisting of a tractor and five
inclosed cars, is described in the
June number Of Popular Me-
chanics Magazine. The train is
being used to transport a tele.
phone-construction and repair
gang through sparsely settled
districts in Texas. There are two
sleeping cars, a kitchen car, q
diner, and, at the rear, a "bag-
gage" car in which everything
needed by the workmen, except
poles, is carried. The kitchen
trailer is equipped with stoves, a
sink. shelves for dishes, and
other accessories. The diner is
provided with one long table and
a buffers pantry. having warm
ing ovens, in which food may be
kept hot until served. The final
touch is telephone. which is in
stalled at one end Of the car.

The first dirigible airship built
for the United States Navy. the
"DN-l." was recently completed
at Hartford. Conn.,, and shipped
to the government hangar at
Pensacola, Fla. A few days after
its arrival in the South it was
torn from its moorings while in
fiated and carried away by a vio-
lent gale without any crew
aboard. The rain was falling
when the accident happened, but
shortly after the sun came out
and warmed the gas in the bag,
which lifted the craft high in the
air. A few hours later it was
found about Is miles east of
Pensacola. badly damaged by be-

CHARITY.

Charity begins at home is :

for aid outside Of this immediate
Vicinity. The Parish of Iberia
has no poor house or any means
of assisting the needy. except the
local Cnsectarlan Aid Society OF
this community. To begin with,
the society is entirely unsectarlan
composed of people from all
churches, and also responds read
lily to any calls for help, be they
jew or Gentle and they have been
numerous from both. Let it be
understood however, that gifts of
money are never given. but the
equivalent in food, medicine and
clothing.
The Society has only seventy
one members, with an average at
tendance of eight at a meeting.
If our membership could be suf-
ficiently increased, no calls upon
the public in the form of enter
tainments or otherwise would be
necessary. r-
While during the past year, we
have been very fortunate in re-
ceiving several liberal donations
from different lodges. societies
and individuals, Yet these funds
are inadequate to meet the de-
mands upon us and to relieve us
from raising money by means of
entertainments. etc.
The dues are only ten cents a
month. the meetings are held
once a month, and last about an
hour. Can you not take one hour
q month from your pleasures and
give to this noble cause which
with its handful Of workers and
limited means, is endeavoring to |
follow the inspired admonition.

goods. and seeth his brother in

of compassion upon him. how
